Lai Yang didn't expect that she would be serious with him
In this case, he couldn't be blamed. He turned over and pressed Yuan Shengda under him, snatched the phone again, flipped directly to the call log, and called back the latest number.
"Stop hitting me, what are you doing! Don't hit me!" Yuan Shengda shouted while being suppressed.
When the call was connected, Lai Yang angrily asked who was on the other end and why he was harassing Yuan Shengda. The other end was stunned for a while and said that he was a staff member of the platform's loan collection center.
Yuan Qing's loan is overdue, so she needs to pay it back as soon as possible, otherwise it will affect her personal credit...
Lai Yang was stunned, and at this moment the door was slowly pushed open. Xu Mo, who was downstairs, poked her head in, and when she saw the posture of Lai Yang and Yuan Shengda, her beautiful face turned red, and she spoke in a weak voice.
"Oh, your door was open, so I... Hey, we're childhood sweethearts, so let's talk it out, don't hit each other."
…
After Xu Mo left, Lai Yang and Yuan Shengda calmed down. After some questioning, Lai Yang learned that Yuan Shengda borrowed money because her mother was in the hospital.
The last time she went back to Xi'an was to visit the hospital and left some money for her family, but her family was in financial difficulty. Her younger brother was still in college and her father was just an ordinary worker who didn't have much savings.
Yuan Shengda was in financial difficulty at home and had no choice but to take out a loan online. He was overdue a while ago, so he borrowed some money from Li Dian.
Looking at Yuan Shengda, who was curled up in the corner of the sofa, hugging his knees in a daze, Lai Yanggang's still angry face, a trace of guilt arose.
"Auntie, what's wrong with you? Is it serious?" Lai Yang asked softly.
Yuan Shengda shook her head slightly, a few strands of hair covering her watery eyes, and said softly and intermittently, "It's not very... serious. Her high blood pressure is an old problem. It's just that she has been in the hospital recently."
"Then why did you come back to Shanghai so soon after you went back last time? Why didn't you spend more time with your family?"
Lai Yang asked this question directly in his mind, and suddenly realized that he was the one who had the incident with Gu Qian at that time, and the situation was also precarious.
So after Yuan Shengda went back to visit for a day, he went right back to Shanghai.
She must have been in a very depressed mood at the time, but she didn't show it in front of me, and she even comforted herself from time to time.
At this moment, a warm feeling quietly spread in Lai Yang's heart.
"My dad is with me. There's no point for me to stay in the hospital. I might as well come back and find a way to make more money to send back home." Yuan Sheng pushed a few strands of hair away from his eyes and forced a smile at Lai Yang.
"How much online loan do you still owe?" Lai Yang asked.
Yuan Shengda glanced at Lai Yang for a while and whispered that it was less than ten thousand.
"Oh... Then I'll think of a way for you.
. " After saying this, Lai Yang stood up and prepared to leave, when Yuan Shengda suddenly called him.
Lai Yang walked to the door and turned around. Yuan Shengda was sitting in the corner of the sofa, hugging her knees. Her long hair hung down, covering a little of her fair thighs. Her oval face, as big as a palm, was full of sorrow, and her watery eyes were looking at him affectionately.
Lai Yang was a little embarrassed for a moment when he saw her usually domineering expression and suddenly she changed into such a little bird-like expression.
Knowing that she wanted to thank him, Lai Yang had already thought of a high-sounding exit speech in his mind, but he didn't expect Yuan Sheng to say something loud.
"Laiyang, if you lend me 10,000, do I have to pay it back?"
"I'm so..."
After returning to the house, Lai Yang was flipping through his phone. First of all, he couldn't get a loan online now because he had already borrowed a lot when investing in the theater, and now he had to repay it on time every month.
He could only try to find someone to borrow money from, but after sending more than a dozen messages on WeChat, his former friends either said they had no money or didn't reply. A college classmate even blocked him directly.
Looking at the borrowing money dialog box that filled the entire screen of his phone, Lai Yang fell silent.
In the adult world, you never need to borrow money for anything. After thinking about it, Lai Yang thought of Gu Qian.
It seems that I will only have the money on hand after I return to Xi'an on the 25th to deal with the house, but there are still seven or eight days left.
Thinking of calling Gu Qian and asking for some money first
This matter troubled him for half a pack of cigarettes, and Lai Yang couldn't make the call in the end...
The weather was good the next day. After opening the curtains, light clouds like fish scales covered the blue sky. After getting up and tidying up, Lai Yang went to the gate of the community to buy some fried dough sticks and soy milk, and brought them to Yuan Sheng's gate.
After a knock on the door, a lazy voice came from inside: "Who is it?"
Because Lai Yang seldom came in the morning, when Yuan Sheng opened the door and saw him carrying breakfast, she was slightly stunned.
There was a hint of sleepiness on her unmade oval face, her nightgown and hair were a little messy, and she looked as if she had just woken up. A pair of long, white and well-proportioned legs swayed in front of Lai Yang, and the room was filled with a feminine scent.
"Eat, and then go to sleep." Lai Yang didn't even come in, but handed the things to her.
Yuan Shengda looked at Lai Yang with affectionate eyes, and raised her pink lips slightly: "Ah, why are you suddenly so nice to me today?"
"Really? I've always been fine." Lai Yang felt a little guilty. In fact, he had never bought breakfast specifically for Yuan Shengda. The main problem was that he couldn't get up.
"Hey, Lai Duidui, why are you still blushing?" Yuan Shengda moved closer, staring at Lai Yang with her beautiful eyes. The faint fragrance from her body continued to fill his nose.
Lai Yang pretended to be blushing: "I'm not blushing at all, I'm just panting from climbing the stairs. Here's the food."
After handing over the breakfast, Lai Yang hurried to leave, and Yuan Shengda asked him if he wanted to eat something together
"I'm not eating anymore. Open the window and get some fresh air. The whole room is filled with the scent of wild flowers, and I can't stand it." Lai Yang walked towards the corridor without looking back.
"You smell like wild flowers, I smell like lavender!"
…
Last night Lai Yang told Li Dian about Yuan Shengda's matter. At noon, the two were discussing it in front of the wonton shop in the alley near the theater.
Li Dian slurped up a mouthful of hot wonton, licked his lips and said, "I just negotiated a commercial performance yesterday. I will hold a performance at a shopping mall on the 23rd. I will probably make 15,000 yuan. When the time comes, I will give her the rest except for the actor's fee."
Lai Yang took a deep puff of his cigarette and looked at Li Dian. Now Lai Yang was in charge of the internal programs in the theater, while Li Dian was in charge of promoting the external commercial performances.
This performance just happened to solve the urgent problem, and Lai Yang's gloomy mood was immediately relieved by half.
"Really? Has this been settled?" Lai Yang asked.
Li Dian took a piece of paper and wiped his mouth and said, "Not yet. I'm here to discuss this with you. Someone from the mall came to see our special show for pregnant mothers a while ago, and he also wants to follow suit and hold a special themed show on the 23rd."
"That's five days later! What's the topic? Mom?"
"No, their mall mainly sells men's brands, so they want to hold a goddess show. They need four actresses who can speak well and are also required to be pretty. They also need to make posters for promotion, so this matter has not been decided yet."
These words were like a bucket of cold water poured directly on Lai Yang's forehead.
"Where can we find four actresses? And they have to be pretty? Are you kidding me?"
Lai Yang suddenly felt a stack of banknotes flying past his eyes, but he had no way to catch it. The feeling of sand flowing through his fingers made him feel powerless.
"Don't worry, we have the jokes. We just need to find someone to memorize them. Although they can't tell them as well as us, the mall is noisy and those people won't be paying attention. So the content is not the most important thing, the beauty is."
Li Dian told Lai Yang that Yuan Shengda and Yunlu were two, and he asked Yunlu to help find another one, but their looks were just so-so.
At this point, Li Dian pushed his eyes and looked at Lai Yang: "Now we are still missing a beautiful woman."
He drew out a long tail for the last two beauties, and Lai Yang was a little stunned and said, "Then go find them, why are you looking at me like that?"
"Hmph, because you just happen to know a beautiful woman." Li Dian smiled evilly.
"I know him? Who?"
"Tranquil!" Li Dian said firmly.
