National Tide 1980.

Chapter 93

The road of life will inevitably encounter ups and downs, and falls are inevitable.

But I am afraid that I will fall twice in different ways in the same place.

Such a situation is very damaging to one's self-confidence.

Especially in the case of thinking that there are no omissions, and watching his success and failure, he almost missed the success.

Naturally, it will increase the degree of suffocation.

Like Zhang Shihui, she felt a taste that she almost vomited blood.

He couldn't accept it at all, and the success he had almost grasped in his hand slipped away from his fingers at the last moment.

So after he got home that day, he was not in the mood to go to work at all.

I hung up the phone and asked for leave, and stayed at home for a boring day.

He didn't want to eat anything, and he barely slept through the night.

But accompanied by frowning and unresolved depression, he smoked two packs of cigarettes.

His throat was swollen, and his face turned green.

It wasn't until the early hours of the morning when he flipped sesame cakes on the bed that he barely figured out an idea that might save the situation, and then fell asleep in a daze.

But then again, although there are ways to do it, no matter what you do or how you do it, you still have to rely on money.

Therefore, it was on this night that Zhang Shihui ran to the Chongwenmen Hotel early to take over.

He called Ning Weimin out to smoke while others were packing up.

The cigarette was handed over, the fire was lit, and after hesitating for a long time, he mustered up the courage and proposed to borrow money from Ning Weimin.

To be honest, the reason why Zhang Shihui is so grumpy is because he knows that his friendship with Ning Weimin is still shallow.

They are just colleagues who can talk to each other, and they are far from the point where they can make money.

But this is impossible, who made him ask all the close acquaintances.

Ning Weimin has been thinking about it, and finally the only possibility to raise money.

After all, the salary has just been paid, as long as Ning Weimin is willing to lend a little more, it will give him some help.

To put it bluntly, Zhang Shihui's situation has been forced into Liangshan.

Unwilling, let him especially hope that he can gather all the resources that can be used to make a last-ditch effort to sink the boat.

Otherwise, the savings will be lost, the face will be lost, and the deficit of several hundred yuan will have to be filled.

He really didn't know how to explain it to Liu Weijing, and he was even more afraid that his girlfriend would look down on him because of this.

Would people still be willing to entrust their life to him?

Of course, asking for help is hard to tell.

What's more, I also know that this is a bit difficult.

So when the word "borrow money" was uttered, and seeing Ning Weimin blinking, showing a rather surprised look, Zhang Shihui felt guilty.

I don't know why, but the rhetoric that was made up early and the reason for the hype that I thought of, actually came out in a few words.

At this moment, he was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.

My heart is full of indescribable exhaustion, bleakness, and an uncontrollable regret.

Forget it, don't make it up, why make people embarrassed?

The risks to be done this time are not small, so why drag another one into the water?

Hey, I can't really be a liar and get a bad reputation, can I?

At least, there is no need to add another person to hate me and scold me...

But precisely when he was complaining about himself and almost wanted to take the initiative to say that the request was a joke.

I never expected that Ning Weimin's response would be outrageously happy.

He opened his mouth and asked, "How much do you want? Tell me the number."

Zhang Shihui was stunned for a moment.

After a while, after thinking about it, he was a little excited.

"Dude, I...I want to borrow a month's salary from you, how about it? Will it work?"

And when Ning Weimin faced Zhang Shihui's hopeful eyes, he showed his righteousness more and more.

"Successful. Why not? But one month's salary? That's more than 60 yuan, is it enough for you? How much do you need? It doesn't matter, just tell me."

"Ah? Then...then the more the better, or you... lend me one hundred? No, one hundred and five, okay? Just one hundred and five..."

Zhang Shihui was really overjoyed.

The number he reported was the limit of his desire.

That's not to say he doesn't need more.

Mainly because I felt ashamed and regretted thinking that I had already lost all the money I borrowed from my acquaintances twice.

Even if Ning Weimin could give him more, he would not have the courage or face to take on more favors.

"One hundred and five, right? I really have it, you wait, I'll go to the locker and get it for you."

Ning Weimin stopped talking nonsense, turned around decisively and left.

After a while, he actually got the money back.

But what's interesting is that when things came to an end, when Zhang Shihui received the money, she seemed a little panicked.

Because he didn't expect things to be so easy.

"I... let me write you an IOU..."

"Need not."

"Then... why don't you ask me for it?"

"Hey, I'm just saying, I want you to use this money to gamble, you can do anything. Are you going to gamble? Isn't it? Just take it and it's over."

But the more angry and trusting Ning Weimin became, the more uncomfortable Zhang Shihui became.

His face turned red in the night.

"Dude, why do you bring so much money to the unit? Don't you have something important to do? You lend me the money...this...this..."

What did he say, he thought too much and misunderstood.

As for Ning Weimin, he just smiled faintly, and was too lazy to explain that he was not short of these little money.

Because he understands that since it is a matter of helping in the snow.

Of course, let the other party think that what they have paid and need to bear, the more the better.

And the more determined and calm his attitude, the better the effect.

This is not cunning, but basic common sense in dealing with people.

The essence is not to show off, try to respect, only in this way will there be good results.

Otherwise, good intentions will hurt people.

"It's alright, you, don't be polite to me. No matter how anxious I am, I won't worry about you. Let's say it clearly, seeing you like this, I know you have encountered something. So don't think too much, just be practical. I won't rush you."

After he finished speaking, he put the money into Zhang Shihui's hand.

Zhang Shihui was completely moved, even a little shocked, the warm current in his heart made the corners of his eyes actually wet.

"I'll pay you back soon, I... I've got it all next month, and I'll pay you back next month! Two months at most. Look at my virtue, I can't open my mouth to borrow money from people, when have I ever borrowed money from people? ? I'm done I..."

To be honest, no matter what conditions Ning Weimin put forward at this time.

With Zhang Shihui's heart, she would agree without even thinking about it.

As long as Ning Weimin can be satisfied, Zhang Shihui can't wait to turn some somersaults and make a spin.

Because no one has ever lent him money so happily.

In addition to parents, in addition to Liu Weijing.

Only Ning Weimin around him can be so generous to him and give him such trust.

But they've only known each other for a few days...

"Dude, stop it, it's serious. Who hasn't had a hard time yet?"

Ning Weimin tried his best to comfort her with sympathy and wanted to make the atmosphere lighter.

"I'll help you today, and you'll help me tomorrow. Although we haven't known each other for a long time, we hit it off on the night shift. Friends, it's going to be a long time in the future, isn't it?"

But this is like a kind of stimulation, but it makes Zhang Shihui's emotions more turbulent.

"Weimin, I...I didn't say anything. I...will definitely pay you back the money. If I don't pay you back, am I still a friend?"

"Dude, I've completely convinced you today, and I'm on the ground. If you need me in the future, you must speak a word."

"I, Zhang Shihui, swear here that if I don't tuck my head into my waist pocket and play for you, I have to hesitate a little bit, and I'm a girl!"

But Ning Weimin really felt that Zhang Shihui's confession was pitiful.

Reminds him of his past self. When he has no food to eat, he can really remember for a lifetime when someone gives him a steamed bun.

So he couldn't bear to listen any longer, and quickly interrupted.

"Okay, I believe it. I believe everything you said, can we still believe it?"

"But buddy, you're so funny, what else do you swear. We're all men, so there's no need for that."

"I, if there is nothing else, just a word of advice. No matter how difficult things are, you can go through it. The key is to think about it as much as possible, and don't have too much pressure and burden in your heart to do things well, right?"

"Come on, if there's nothing else, I'll go first."

Zhang Shihui's hand trembled while carrying the money, her breathing was short.

Looking at the shadow of Ning Weimin walking up the steps step by step, he seemed to be drunk.

Wandering around on the sidewalk at the side door of the hotel, I was a little unsteady.

There was only one thing on his mind, one thing he couldn't get rid of.

That is, if I just got the money like this, it would be a little despicable, a little dark, and a little sorry for this trust and friendship.

Could it be that he is such a despicable villain?

Could it be that he is such a selfish person in his bones?

No, he was obsessed with money.

No, he can't let the devil in his heart overflow, sorry for such a good friend.

Although what he was going to do wasn't gambling, it was equally risky. He couldn't keep Ning Weimin, who had borrowed his money, in the dark.

This is like when you are hungry and cold, and someone with a good heart invites you into your home to take care of your food and shelter.

As a result, you don't tell people that you have fleas, lice, and infectious diseases.

Does this sound like a word?

Money is a good thing, and he really lacks it, but he can't get it like this.

At this moment, Zhang Shihui finally made an important decision.

This moment was a turning point in his life.

At this moment, a lot of things happened, some important, some not.

But only this incident has affected Zhang Shihui's life, and he will be very fortunate every time he thinks about it in the future.

That is, he stopped Ning Weimin and decided to tell his actual situation.

"Weimin, Weimin! You wait... I, I have something to say..."

With a mute voice, Zhang Shihui shouted at Ning Weimin, who had already pulled his hand on the doorknob.

At the same time, he quickly walked up the stairs.
