Chapter 198 Encounter with colleagues by chance (please subscribe!)
November 9, morning.
Peony Apartments.
Lin Chen received a call.
The call turned out to be from his good brother, Xu Zian.
Xu Zian said, "Lin Chen, are you free now?"
Although Lin Chen didn't know what he meant by asking this question, he still replied: "Zian, I'm free, what happened to you?"
Xu Zian said in shame: "I can't tell on the phone, can you come out for a while, it won't delay you for too long."
Lin Chen replied: "Alright then."
Xu Zian said: "You choose the location or I choose."
Lin Chen said, "Let me choose. It's at the Xingbucks Cafe near the Conservatory of Music at 11 o'clock."
Xu Zian replied: "Okay."
Lin Chen hung up the phone, and then called the customer service of the Xingbuck coffee shop near the Conservatory of Music, asking them to help reserve a seat.
At 11 o'clock sharp, Hinbuck Cafe.
Lin Chen stepped to the door of Xingbuck Cafe.
When he stepped into the door, Xu Zian had just arrived.
Lin Chen told the waitress in the store that he had reserved a seat in advance.
The waitress then led Lin Chen and Xu Zian to a side seat.
After Lin Chen and Xu Zian sat down, the waitress at the side asked, "What do you two want to drink?"
Xu Zian then said: "Lin Chen, what do you want to drink?"
Lin Chen replied, "Let's have a cup of coffee."
Xu Zian: "A cup of coffee."
After a while, the waitress came over with two cups of coffee.
"Sir, two cups of coffee, please take your time."
Lin Chen picked up the coffee cup and took a sip of coffee, then looked up at Xu Zian, and asked, "Zian, what's the matter?"
Xu Zian sighed, and said slowly: "Hey, Lin Chen, it's hard to say. It's like this. A few days ago, my dad suddenly passed out and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. The doctor said it was a cerebral infarction and needed immediate surgery.
Now I need a lot of money. I have taken out all my savings for many years but it is still not enough, so I want to ask you for help. "
Lin Chen said, "How much money is there?"
Xu Zian raised a finger and said, "It's still a hundred thousand."
Maybe he was afraid of Lin Chen's embarrassment, because he didn't know that Lin Chen was now a top writer in the Internet literary world, the kind who earns tens of millions a month, and thought he hadn't found a job yet.
When he came out to find Lin Chen, he really had no choice but to be a dead horse as a living horse doctor. If he could borrow a little, he would go to the online crowdfunding to have a look.
Xu Zian continued: "Lin Chen, don't worry, I also know your current situation, I will not borrow too much from you, if you lend me five thousand, I owe you, and I will pay you back as soon as I have money in the future."
Lin Chen sighed, and said: "Zian, if you say that, we will be separated, [-], okay, I will transfer to your Weichat later, don't be too sad, uncle will get better of."
When Xu Zian heard Lin Chen say to lend him [-], he was taken aback for a moment, and said suspiciously: "[-]? Lin Chen, you seem to be in a bad situation, and you haven't looked for a job yet. How do you get the [-]?" Come to think of it, don’t force yourself, five thousand is enough, and I will figure out the rest myself.”
Lin Chen said in an unquestionable tone: "Don't worry about me, I have money now, I live a good life, and I can support myself."
Just when Xu Zian was about to ask Lin Chen where he got so much money, a whining female voice reached Xu Zian and Lin Chen's ears.
"Husband, you said you were going to take me to buy LV bags this week. I like the one that costs 3 yuan. Don't play tricks, you must buy it!"
I saw a coquettishly dressed woman holding the right hand of a slightly bald, ordinary middle-aged man, walking slowly towards Lin Chen at the door of Xingbuck Cafe.
At this moment, Lin Chen hadn't noticed the situation of the couple, but even if he did, he wouldn't take it seriously. Now he doesn't have to look at people's faces.
And when Xu Zian saw this pair of men and women appearing here, his face immediately changed color, his face was unpredictable, mixed with emotions such as anger, shame, annoyance, and inferiority complex.
Obviously, Xu Zian knew those two people, and the actual situation was similar. Xu Zian didn't know the man, but he knew the alluring woman.
That coquettish woman was Xu Zian's ex-girlfriend. They had just broken up for about a week. At that time, when his ex heard that his father was sick and needed a lot of money for hospitalization.
Before Xu Zian borrowed money from her, his ex had already proposed to break up with him. She said that she couldn't see the future with Xu Zian, and she didn't want to starve and freeze with him.
Xu Zian also knew that he really couldn't give others the future they wanted, so he agreed to break up, but he never expected that she would find a new boyfriend just a week after breaking up.
And it was a bald middle-aged man, Xu Zian felt that he was humiliated by someone slapping his face, but his current situation did not allow him to do anything out of line, so he wanted to pretend he didn't see it.
However, it often happens that the sky fails to fulfill one's wishes, and when Xu Zian's eyes wandered and he covered his face with his hands, his ex Li Lu still found him.
When Li Lu saw Xu Zian, she was stunned for a moment, then her face turned into a sneer, and she took the middle-aged bald man by her arm, walked quickly to Xu Zian, and said with a sneer, "Hehe, Xu Zian, what a coincidence, it was just last week. Tell me that you have no money, but you still have money to come to Xingbuck today?"
Li Lu made an exaggerated expression and said, "You don't come here for coffee on loan, do you? Is this the place you should come to?"
Li Lu paused, and continued: "When I was with you, I had never been in a Xingbucks. Now that I think about it, I was really stupid. How could I fall in love with you when I was so hotheaded? You will always go out on a broken motorcycle, and the place to eat will always be a roadside stall. The place to date is either a movie theater or a broken milk tea shop. I have had enough of this kind of life, and now I know how wonderful a rich life is."
At this time, Li Lu realized that Xu Zian did not come out alone, and there was another person sitting beside him. When Li Lu saw Lin Chen for the first time, her eyes lit up a little, but then she retracted them.
This time Lin Chen came out dressed more casually, without any brand-name clothes or shoes. Li Lu saw Lin Chen's ordinary attire, and immediately thought he was a penniless hanging silk man like Xu Zian.
Even though Li Lu thought Lin Chen was handsome at first sight, which was in stark contrast to the middle-aged bald man next to her, but because he should be in the same group as Xu Zian, she decided sourly that Lin Chen was also a poor comparison.
"What's the use of being handsome, can being handsome be eaten?" Li Lu comforted herself silently in her heart.
At this moment, Xu Zian's eyes were red, his expression was angry, and he clenched his hands tightly. Just as he was about to speak, Lin Chen patted his shoulder with his left hand, signaling Xu Zian not to be impulsive.
Then Lin Chen looked at Li Lu, and said in a flat tone: "Zian was invited by me, what's wrong? If you can come, I can't?"
Seeing that Lin Chen dared to speak back, Li Lu became even angrier, and said contemptuously, "I didn't inquire carefully before coming here. Xingbucks is a place where upper-class people come and go. It's not something you should come to."
Lin Chen heard Li Lu's insulting words at this time, so he didn't intend to speak nicely, and sneered: "Sometimes people, don't think too highly of yourself, otherwise the more you praise yourself, the harder you fall.
Besides, what kind of upper class are you?It's just a low-bitch who sells his looks to entertain others. What right do you have to bark in front of me? "
When Li Lu heard Lin Chen's words, she was so angry that she even said a few words about you, but couldn't say anything else. Obviously, Lin Chen's words hurt her severely.
Seeing that she couldn't win with words, she immediately looked at the middle-aged bald man who was holding her arm next to her. She was seven points angry, and three parts coquettishly said to the middle-aged bald man: "Husband, you have to make the decision for me, those two little ones!" The bastards gang up and scold me, you go and ask the waiter to drive them out."
Li Lu turned to Xu Zian and Lin Chen and said angrily: "Smelly Diaosi, do you know who my husband is? Have you heard of Qihang Chinese Website? The largest novel website in Longguo, my husband is the little god of Qihang Chinese Website Writers earn 20 yuan a month, and you’re afraid it will take ten years to earn this money.”
At this time, the middle-aged bald man wanted to watch the battle, but he couldn't stand by now. He looked at Lin Chen, and suddenly, he seemed to see something.He tried his best to open his eyes wide and looked at Lin Chen, trying to see Lin Chen's face clearly, and finally he was sure who was sitting over there.
I saw the middle-aged bald man make an extremely surprised movement. He immediately shook off Li Lu's arm, slapped Li Lu hard, then walked up to Lin Chen, bowed to greet him, with a smile on his face. Humble look.
At this time, Li Lu, who was watching from the side, was stunned for a moment. The middle-aged bald man hit her, and even walked over to apologize to that handsome man?Look at him like that, very humble.
Li Lu remembered that the middle-aged bald man was not like this in the past. He always treated people with lower status and income than him with a haughty face and never showed good looks. How come now, in this Why is he so respectful in front of a tall and handsome man?
At this time, the middle-aged bald man nodded and bowed respectfully to Lin Chen, and then his expression was no longer as arrogant as before, and he said, "Are you the big brother of Seven Nights?"
Lin Chen heard the middle-aged bald man's inquiry at this time, and knew that the bald man was also the author of the same website as him, because Li Lu had already disclosed the middle-aged bald man's identity in advance.
