Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

Chapter 32
Dong Qiangqiang sat on the outdoor seat of an outdoor cafe in the city center, flipping through the newly obtained bank card in his hand, while thinking about what the bank man said when he opened the account.

Since 97, he has been trading stocks in the domestic Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets. He has made a small success in the past few years. He is no stranger to stock trading, so he is quite interested in the words of the banker.

It's just that he doesn't know what's going on with the German stock market.But if you want to trade online, you need a laptop and an internet environment anyway, but where you live now, there are neither, and you need to get those two things done as soon as possible.

He was just thinking about what laptop to buy when he heard a female voice say behind him, "Dong Qiangqiang?"

He didn't look back and knew that it was Dong Yiqing who was behind him, so he got up quickly and pulled out the chair beside him: "Are you here?"

Dong Yiqing wore a light green jacket series this time, looking youthful and lively, but her face was not very good-looking.While picking up the silk scarf, she sat next to Dong Qiangqiang.

"What to drink?" Dong Qiangqiang asked politely.

"No, don't drink anymore." Dong Yiqing looked at the people around her, lowered her voice, and said straight to the point, "I want to ask you for help."

"Well, tell me." Dong Qiangqiang didn't expect her to be so direct.

"I... want to... borrow some money from you." Dong Yiqing said looking into his eyes.

Dong Qiangqiang was a little surprised: the two of them had only met once, and they couldn't even be friends, they were just acquaintances. How could she have thought of borrowing money from herself?
Seeing Dong Qiangqiang's silence, Dong Yiqing seemed to have expected his reaction, as if explaining and begging: "Don't get me wrong, I borrow money mainly for extension." As she spoke, her eyes were a little red. .

Dong Qiangqiang was a thin-skinned person, and he couldn't see the girl crying in front of him, so he quickly stopped him and said, "Don't cry, speak slowly."

Dong Yiqing sighed: "Several materials are required to extend the visa here: the university registration certificate for each semester, the long-term personal insurance certificate, the rental contract, and a certain amount of money in the bank account. According to the general situation, the account has a certain amount of money. 1 marks can be extended for about a year."

After listening to her, Dong Qiangqiang knew that what she said was similar to what he knew before, so he asked tentatively, "Then how much do you want to borrow?"

Dong Yiqing looked worried, her face lowered, looking at her toes, as if she hadn't heard Dong Qiangqiang's words.

"How much do you need?" Dong Qiangqiang looked at her and asked sincerely.

"Well, the more the merrier." Dong Yiqing raised her head, "I know that everyone has no money, and I...I also...have no choice."

Dong Qiangqiang was a little hesitant: although he had money at hand, he didn't know the other party's background, so he hurriedly lent it. What if he couldn't get it back?I don't even know where to find Dong Yiqing.

But looking at her appearance, it is estimated that she has hit a lot of nails, otherwise no one will borrow money from people they have just met.

"Then you didn't tell the family..." Dong Qiangqiang wanted to know more.

Dong Yiqing smiled bitterly: "My parents suddenly divorced at the beginning of the year. They originally promised to support me part of the year, but now both sides suddenly don't care. I didn't work... not so much before, so..."

Dong Qiangqiang understood immediately: It turns out that she is a daughter of a daughter, no wonder...

If at home, Dong Qiangqiang generally doesn't have a good face for this kind of girl, but when he goes abroad, everyone is a son of the Chinese. Although she has her own problems, Dong Qiangqiang can't completely let go.But how much is appropriate to borrow?He was thinking about it.

Seeing that Dong Qiangqiang didn't speak, Dong Yiqing immediately understood. She stood up and stretched out her hand: "I won't disturb you. I wish you a smooth job search!"

I didn't expect Dong Yiqing's temper to be so fierce, Dong Qiangqiang was stunned for a moment, and quickly stood up: "Wait a minute."

Dong Yiqing stared intently into his eyes.

Dong Qiangqiang took out a pen and paper from his bag and handed it to her: "I can borrow money, is it okay to write an IOU?"

"IOU?" Dong Yiqing blinked, "Of course it's fine."

He didn't know why he was willing to lend money to the other party, maybe because she was pretty?Or is it because she resembles her ex-girlfriend in some ways?

Dong Qiangqiang also understands in his heart that the so-called IOU is a psychological effect. If Dong Yiqing refuses to repay her debts in the future, she cannot guarantee her repayment by relying on the memorandum.

Forget it, just treat it as a good deed, or Jin Yuan never paid me back.Dong Qiangqiang thought to himself.

Dong Yiqing quickly wrote the IOU, but she didn't write down the amount for a long time. She didn't know how much the other party wanted to lend.

"Just write 4000 marks." Dong Qiangqiang said softly.

This time, it was Dong Yiqing's turn to be surprised. She didn't expect Dong Qiangqiang to lend her so much.Because of the accident, her hand trembled a little while writing.

"Well, it's enough to write it like this." Dong Qiangqiang glanced at the IOU, and folded it with satisfaction and put it in the inner pocket of his jacket.While talking, he counted out brand new bills from his wallet and handed them to Dong Yiqing.

Dong Yiqing collected the banknotes, suddenly remembered something, stretched out her hand and said to Dong Qiangqiang, "Give me the IOU again."

Dong Qiangqiang didn't know what she was going to do, and joked, "You wouldn't want to tear it up, would you?"

Even so, he handed her the IOU again.

I saw Dong Yiqing quickly write another sentence in the IOU: The loan period is one year, and the annual interest is 10%. If it is less than one year, it will be calculated as one year, and if it exceeds one year and less than two years, it will be calculated as two years.

Looking at the words she wrote, Dong Qiangqiang smiled and didn't speak. Dong Yiqing took out her lipstick again, painted red on her thumb, and pressed it hard under her name on the loan note.

"I'll pay you back as soon as possible." She stretched out her right hand again, "Thank you for drawing your knife and helping."

There seemed to be tears in her eyes as she spoke.

Dong Qiangqiang smiled and stretched out his right hand and shook her hand. This time, he felt that her hand seemed to be getting warmer.

At 20:30 in the evening, Dong Qiangqiang arrived at the No. 22 station next to the train station on time according to the time required on the card.

Worried that he would be hungry in the second half of the night shift, Dong Qiangqiang used the afternoon to buy pots and pans and a bunch of familiar home-cooked seasonings at the Asian supermarket, and also bought some vegetables and seasonal fruits in the German ALDI supermarket near his home.He fried one meat, one vegetable and two dishes for himself, and after taking two bites, he packed the rest of the meals into different bento boxes and prepared them for supper.

There were also several men of different heights, shorts, fats and thins standing on the station, all dressed in plain clothes, but Dong Qiangqiang didn't see any other Chinese.Just as he looked around, two horns blared suddenly behind him.

Dong Qiangqiang looked back and saw a silver-gray minivan parked by the station. Before he could react, a man in a black-lined hat stuck his head out of the driver's seat and waved violently at everyone waiting for the car. He waved his hand and shouted, "Get in the car!"

Although the light was not very good, Dong Qiangqiang still recognized that the driver was the Eastern European man who introduced him to work during the day.

The door was slammed open, and the men bowed their heads, carried their bags, and got into the car in silence. After the door was closed again, the van staggered away from the station like a drunk.

Dong Qiangqiang curled up in the back seat of the car and gradually fell asleep.
