above the point of the knife

Chapter 341 Gambling Agreement
"Yulan, uncle is here too." Zhou Sen opened the door and came in, and saw Bai Yulan sitting on the sofa, talking to Cai Qingjiang.

"Komori."

As an elder, Cai Qingjiang has no problem calling him that, not to mention Bai Yulan also called him that.

"Aren't you at work? Why are you back?" Bai Yulan was surprised. Although Zhou Sen went to work to make money, he never missed work. He deserved this salary.

"Come back and get a file." Zhou Sen explained, "You talk, I'll go to the study."

"Uncle, you should think about it. I can lend you this money, but what if you fail, what should you do? You can't let your aunt and younger brothers and sisters starve and freeze with you anymore?" Bai Yulan said very straightforwardly. up.

This stings a man's self-esteem very much, especially someone like Cai Qingjiang who has a strong self-esteem.

Cai Qingjiang stopped talking.

Although his heart is higher than the sky, he still has a little self-knowledge. If he fails, even if the debt does not have to be repaid, what will his family do? Can they continue to stay in Bingcheng?
It is impossible for Cai Qingjiang to recognize himself if he does not give him some strong medicine to cure a serious illness.

"Yulan, I can try. If I fail, your aunt and I will go back to our hometown Tongliao, and we will never come to Bingcheng again in this life!" Cai Qingjiang said.

"Uncle, my brother still settles the score clearly, you failed, just slap your ass and leave, why did you borrow my money?"

Cai Qingjiang blushed instantly.

"Uncle, my money didn't come from a strong wind. Even if a relative borrowed money, I borrowed it without charging interest. I will say a little more, but you are different." Bai Yulan said clearly that her aunt is her blood relative, so even if she gave it for nothing, she would be fine, but Cai Qingjiang is not.

She can help, but she won't give it away for nothing. She promotes Mi En, fights Mi En, and getting something for nothing will make an enemy instead.

"I'll give you an IOU, the money must be paid back, I can't pay it back, let Xiao Ren and the others pay it back!"

"Xiaoren and the others are still children, so you let them bear such a heavy debt. Besides, whoever borrows money, whoever pays the money, I don't have such a thing as father's debt repayment here." Bai Yulan directly refused.

"Then how do you think you are willing to lend me money?" Cai Qingjiang blushed for a while, and then turned pale for a while. He felt the powerful aura of his niece at this moment.

This is not something ordinary women possess.

"It's fine to borrow money. In addition to the IOU, you also need to sign a gambling agreement." Bai Yulan said.

In fact, she and Zhou Sen had discussed this a long time ago. Cai Qingjiang would not obediently go to work in his own hospital.

Then find a way to force him to go.

If it wasn't for the future of her aunt Bai Mo'er and her children, Bai Yulan really didn't want to talk to Cai Qingjiang.

Machismo, but also pedantic.

I really don't understand how my grandfather found such a son-in-law, the whole one is a lump of elm, no wonder he ruined his good family business.

"What is the gambling agreement?" Cai Qingjiang was stunned for a moment, not understanding why he had to sign the agreement since he only borrowed money and just wrote the IOU.

"I want a guarantee for my aunt and a few younger siblings." Bai Yulan said, "As long as my uncle agrees to sign the gambling agreement, I will lend you the money, and even if you fail, I won't let you pay it back." money."

"If you sign this agreement, you don't have to pay back the money?" Cai Qingjiang was overjoyed, but he was not stupid. There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world.

Having talked about that just now, Bai Yulan didn't let go, and now she suddenly threw out a "gambling agreement", which was clearly digging a hole for herself to jump.

But knowing it was a pit, how could he not jump?

"En." Bai Yulan nodded.

"What gambling agreement?"

"It's very simple. If my uncle succeeds in starting a business, naturally he doesn't need to bother. He can just return the principal to Yulan at that time. But if his uncle fails, he will have to work for Yulan to pay off the debt for the rest of the time. When the time comes, you can stay as you please, this is not a problem for uncle, right?" Bai Yulan said.

"Working for you, what can I do?" Cai Qingjiang was taken aback, a little confused, he only knew that Bai Yulan had opened a teahouse, and the business was very good, but he didn't know anything else, could it be that he was allowed to work as a doctor of tea in the waiter of the teahouse? ?

"I have a hospital under my name, which focuses on orthopedics, but it also has other departments. It needs manpower. Since my uncle is also a medical student, there is naturally a place to arrange it." Bai Yulan didn't hide it. She had already told Bai Mo I'm out of breath.

If she doesn't say it, my aunt will definitely say it too.

Cai Qingjiang couldn't help being stunned when he heard the words.

He is also a smart person, so how could he not understand that people were asking him to go to work in the hospital out of concern for his face and did not speak out directly.

And even if it is mentioned, it is hard to say whether he will go, after all, what he has always been thinking about is revitalizing the Cai family.

But once you work for someone else, there will be no Cai family.

It was because of this obsession that he wanted to give it another go, so he came to ask Bai Yulan to borrow money to open a medical clinic, and start all over again.

"If uncle agrees, then sign the agreement. If you don't, don't blame Yulan for not borrowing the money. I can afford to support your family." Bai Yulan said domineeringly.

If the other party is a scoundrel, then it will be his wish, but Cai Qingjiang is different, he is a person with self-respect.

Even in Bingcheng, no one knew him and would not stab him in the back. He is a big man with arms and legs, but he does not support his wife and children, but asks his niece to support him.

How could his six-foot-tall man afford to lose this man?

But if he doesn't give it a try, he might regret it in the future. If he is really not that material, there is at least a way out here, the most is to be looked down upon by others.

Could it be worse than now?

It's not that selling oneself as a slave to work for one's niece, in exchange for the family's food and clothing, is not unacceptable.

"Okay, I'll sign."

"How much does Uncle want to borrow?" Bai Yulan nodded, and Zhou Sen expected it. Cai Qingjiang still chose to borrow money to open a hospital. He was arrogant and didn't want to live with others. This is normal, but any man with some ability That's all.

Cai Qingjiang's medical skills are good, but the problem is that he doesn't know how to operate it. If he just works as a doctor and gets a salary, it will be fine, but if he runs a pharmacy, it will be difficult for him.

To be a doctor, you have to understand the ways of the world, especially who prescribes what medicine, the poor take the poor prescription, the rich take the expensive prescription, earn the money of the rich, don't earn or even give the profit to the poor, this is the right way.

It's a pity that Cai Qingjiang doesn't understand this, the poor and the rich have the same formula, the disease is cured, but he doesn't make any money.

Coupled with all kinds of tax exploitation, it could barely operate, so that it couldn't survive at all.

"1000 dollars."

"Is 1000 yuan enough? You know that in Bingcheng, you need to rent a shop in a better location, pay three months' rent in advance, and that's the amount. Later, you need to decorate and purchase goods, pay taxes, and have various showdowns. 1000 yuan is about the same as a base," Bai Yulan said.

"It's so much?" Cai Qingjiang was surprised. He also went out to inquire, but what he inquired was not the case.

"Uncle, do you think it's necessary for me to lie to you?" Bai Yulan said, "Are you looking for a shop by yourself or through an intermediary? For a shop facing the street, the monthly rent should be at least 50 yuan. If it is a bustling place, the rent will be doubled, depending on the size of the shop you are renting. It’s even more expensive. Of course, as long as there is only one shop, you’ll need at least 100 yuan to rent it out. Then you’ll need to renovate a little bit, register with the Department of Health, and sit on a signboard. I’ll ask Komori to say hello, which can save you a lot. Trouble, at least I won't drag you, or come to trouble you, 500 yuan can open a medical clinic in front of you, but you are famous in your hometown, but when you arrive in Bingcheng, who will know you, so you will definitely loss..."

Cai Qingjiang also thought of the loss in the early stage. It’s not that he has never opened a medical clinic. The medical clinic his family used to be in Tongliao is not small, but he is still allowed to open it smaller and smaller. In the end, he even sold his ancestral property. Pay off the debt.

But after listening to Bai Yulan's analysis, I felt that I was thinking too easily, and my heart couldn't help being shaken.

Otherwise, I would simply give up and go directly to the hospital to work. It is stable, and I don’t need to think too much, but I am a little bit unwilling in my heart.

He has passed the age of forty, and maybe this is the only chance for him to try and make mistakes. If he doesn't seize this time, he will lose it.

Looking at the hesitant expression on Cai Qingjiang's face, Bai Yulan also knew that it was not so easy to make a choice because of the entanglement in his heart at the moment.

Indecision, which is another big flaw.

Bai Yulan sighed again inwardly.

"Yulan, Uncle wants to give it a try. If possible, I would like to borrow 2000 yuan." Cai Qingjiang finally thought it over and said.

"Yes." Bai Yulan originally wanted to give three thousand, but since Cai Qingjiang only wanted two thousand, she didn't have to be such a good person, "When will uncle want it?"

"Is tomorrow okay?"

"Okay, uncle will sign the agreement tomorrow, and the money will go to uncle." Bai Yulan nodded.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Cai Qingjiang didn't stay any longer, got up, thanked him, and left.

……

"How was the talk?"

"Stubborn, pedantic, and extremely self-confident." Bai Yulan rubbed her temples and said, "I don't know why my grandfather fell in love with him and even married my aunt to him."

"You see these, but at least he is kind and willing to take his own responsibilities, which is much better than most men." Zhou Sen said, "Are there any shortcomings, most men have them, his kind is not considered It's extremely annoying."

"You still speak for him?"

"To be honest, my uncle doesn't gamble, doesn't prostitute, and doesn't drink too much. Apart from machismo, he is also good to my aunt. At least my aunt is willing to bear five children for him. This is a clear proof. Moreover, although he doesn't say it , but when eating, he always gave the children and aunt delicious food, which is enough to prove that he is a good man who takes care of his family." Zhou Sen analyzed.

"You looked so carefully, why didn't I see it?" Bai Yulan asked in surprise.

"You, all your thoughts are on our own little baby, who can take care of others." Zhou Sen glanced at Bai Yulan's swollen belly and smiled.

"Fuck you, you don't speak properly when you come back." Bai Yulan spat, rubbing her right hand on her abdomen, her eyes were full of maternal brilliance.

"I have to go. I won't come back for dinner tonight. There is a dance at the city hall. The police department needs to send people to attend. I didn't want to go, but my superiors gave orders." Zhou Sen said.

"Then be careful when you come back at night."

"Well, I know, don't wait for me, go to bed early." Zhou Sen nodded, leaned down, and kissed Bai Yulan's forehead.

"No, it's not good for people to see it in broad daylight." Bai Yulan blushed and shoved Zhou Sen shyly.

"I'm kissing my daughter-in-law at my own home, so there's nothing wrong with it." Zhou Sen chuckled, "I heard that my aunt's medical skills have been passed down from our family. For so many years, it's a waste of money to give birth to Cai Qingjiang's children." gone."

"You want to get aunt to our hospital?"

"Yes, my aunt is the dean. From now on, even if Lao Cai goes to the hospital, he will have to work for my aunt." Zhou Sen said.

"Can uncle agree?"

"If he doesn't agree, he has to agree. In order to revitalize the Cai family, he insists on borrowing money to open a medical clinic, but who will support the whole family?" Zhou Sen asked, "First send my aunt to the medical school to learn the skills of Western medicine." means, and then arrange for her to go to the hospital."

"What about the child?"

"Aunt Chun can help take care of the child. Anyway, she is no longer breast-fed. Let Aunt Chun familiarize herself with it for a few months." Zhou Sen said.

"I'm going to talk about it, because I'm afraid my uncle will object."

"If he objects, I'll come and talk to him. Sometimes, I, an outsider, are easier to talk to than you," Zhou Sen said.

"Yeah." Bai Yulan nodded, she didn't want her aunt's abilities to go to waste in the end, that would be such a pity.

"Let's go." Zhou Sen went back to the room to pick up a formal suit for evening, and then left.

……

"Toshi Yamamoto called just now, let me tell you, don't lose the chain tonight." When Zhou Sen returned to the police station, Anna opened the door and came in, telling him.

"Understood, you can help me open a room in the Modern Hotel in your name." Zhou Sen instructed Anna.

"Why, does Boss Bai know?" Anna said with a smile. She was actually a little envious of Natasha, but unfortunately it wasn't herself.

Zhou Sen didn't explain.

"Well, I'll be here tonight. If there's anything you need to cooperate with then, just ask." Anna nodded.

"Ah."

……

In the evening, there was a lot of traffic and lights in front of the Modern Hotel. Tonight, the Bingcheng government held a welcome dance here to welcome a delegation from the Ministry of Health in Beijing.

The leader of the group was a director of the Ministry of Health, a Japanese named Kori Hiramatsu, and a doctor of medicine from Tokyo Imperial University.

A group of twenty or so people all stayed at the Modern Hotel.

Therefore, the ball was naturally arranged at the Modern Hotel.

In addition to the mayor and officials from the Department of Health, senior officials from Binjiang Province were present tonight. Of course, the heads of some Japanese agencies stationed in Ice City were also present. This was a rare gathering of senior officials.
