Chapter 123 Borrowing Money
"Duan Yun..." Gao Lei was also stunned when he saw Duan Yun riding a car ahead.

"Are you okay?" Duan Yun came to Gao Lei and asked with a frown.

"What's the matter?" Gao Lei sighed, and said, "It's just been closed for a few days, and the job is gone..."

Gao Lei pretended to be relaxed, but Duan Yun could still see that he was in a very bad mood at this time.

In fact, this is completely understandable. After all, losing the iron rice bowl is a major blow to anyone in these years.

"The job is gone, what are you going to do in the future?" Duan Yun asked seriously.

"What can you do, keep selling cooked meat." Gao Lei curled his lips, and then said: "Don't let me meet those fucking leaders..."

"So what if we met?"

"I won't discount their cooked meat anymore!" Gao Lei said bitterly.

"Hahaha." Duan Yun laughed when he heard the words.

In Duan Yun's view, although Gao Lei is tall and burly and has a bit of a fierce face, he is not the kind of treacherous person in essence. A bit of loyalty in the world, but this kind of stupid loyalty ended up killing him.

"I don't want to stay in the factory anymore..." After a while, Gao Lei said suddenly.

"What do you mean? Where do you want to go if you don't sell cooked meat in the factory area?" Duan Yun was startled when he heard this.

"I heard a friend tell me before that he buys goods in the south and sells them in Daxing, and he makes a lot of money in a month. I bought the imported sunglasses from him at a low price, so I also want to..."

"You want to be a bad guy too?" Duan Yun frowned, and continued, "I want to remind you that Daxing City has been very tight on speculation recently, and the province has sent a working team to Daxing. Not too small..."

Duan Yun wants to do business, so naturally he needs to inquire more about this aspect. As for the work group's entry, he also knew it when he had a drink with Qian Deqiang before. This guy started business relatively early and has his own news channel, so He knows more about this kind of thing than Duan Yun.

"But what else can I do..." Gao Lei paused, and then said: "My cooked meat stall business actually doesn't make a lot of money, and every month I go out to drink with my brothers, it's all spent. Over the past two years, I haven’t saved much money.”

"But at any rate, I can maintain my life."

"What's the use of light energy to feed the stomach." Gao Lei shook his head and said, "I'm in my 20s. I used to have a job, but now I've lost my job, and my reputation in the factory is also bad. , I can find a daughter-in-law in the future, so how can I make more money? I can't help it."

"Amount." Duan Yun nodded upon hearing this.

In fact, Duan Yun can completely understand Gao Lei's current mood. After all, after entering the factory and becoming a formal worker these years, the state will take care of life, old age, sickness and death. Like Ping, there will inevitably be a strong sense of crisis and loss, which is why Gao Lei knows that being a loser is dangerous these days, but still wants to take risks.

"Duan Yun, do you have time tonight? Let me buy you a drink, and I want to talk to you about something?" Gao Lei said to Duan Yun after hesitating for a while.

"What's the matter? Tell me directly now." Duan Yun said.

"I heard that you have made a lot of money recently, so can you..." Gao Lei frowned and said.

"My stall has just been opened, and I haven't actually made much money..." Duan Yun had already guessed that Gao Lei wanted to borrow money from him, so he said with a look of embarrassment on his face: "I bought a bicycle and black and white for my family some time ago. The TV, the little money I earned before has been almost spent, and now the electrical repair business in the factory area has become less and less, and the work that needs to be repaired is almost done... Look at me, wandering around for a while now In the afternoon, there was no business..."

In fact, Duan Yun still has more than 2000 yuan on hand, but it is obviously impossible for him to lend it to Gao Lei just like this, after all, he will need the money in many places in the future.

And although the relationship between the two is very good now, after all, the time they have been together is short, and there is no deep friendship, so Duan Yun simply cried poor with Gao Lei.

In addition, from Duan Yun's point of view, Gao Lei is a big spender at ordinary times. If it is so easy for him to borrow money this time, then he will probably open his mouth to himself when he has no money in the future. Cloud is naturally prepared for this.

"Eh..." Gao Lei was a little disappointed when he heard that.

"Although I don't have much money on hand, you opened your mouth anyway..." Duan Yun pondered for a while, and then said: "I will take 100 yuan from home later, and I can only lend you so much at most. "

Considering that Gao Lei's subordinates were still working in their own stall, Duan Yun didn't want Gao Lei to say that he was stingy behind his back because of this incident, so he simply decided to lend him 100 yuan.

"One hundred is too little, not enough..." Gao Lei shook his head and said.

"Then I really have nothing to do, the money is in my mother's hands, and it is difficult for me to get some money." Duan Yun said.

"Either way, let's talk about it at night when we have dinner." Gao Lei paused, and then said: "It's just the two of us at night, and the others don't call."

"Okay." Duan Yun nodded upon hearing this.

"I'll look for you that night." Gao Lei patted Duan Yun's shoulder, turned and left.

Seeing Gao Lei leave, Duan Yun couldn't help shaking his head, and left on his bicycle...

……

At around [-] o'clock in the afternoon, Duan Yun had just come to repair a small electrical appliance of a family, and when he was returning to the rental house on his bicycle, he saw Gao Lei standing at the intersection at a glance.

At this time, Gao Lei was holding a radio in his hand, and still had his signature sunglasses on his face.

"Here we come." Duan Yun rode his bike to Gao Lei's body and greeted him with a smile.

"Let's go." Gao Lei waved his hand, signaling Duan Yun to follow.

After the two arrived at the restaurant, they found a corner to sit down, and ordered a few small dishes and a bottle of wine.

"Speaking of which, although the two of us have only known each other for a short time, I feel that you are the most capable person I have ever met." After Gao Lei filled the glass in front of Duan Yun with wine, he continued, "Listen to me. A few brothers said that the business of your electrical repair stall is very good, you have skills and brains, and they all admire you..."

"I just rely on a little technology to make a living. Thanks to my brothers, I am willing to follow me. This is also my luck." Duan Yun said with a smile.

"Actually, I'm really ashamed to say this unless I'm desperate. I also know that it's not easy for you to make money..." Gao Lei put the two-speaker tape recorder he was holding on the table and said to Duan Yun: " I dragged a friend to buy this recorder in the south half a year ago. It is the Hong Kong version of 'Sambo'. It cost me more than 300 yuan at the time. I want to bet this thing on you..."
