"How long have you accumulated expenses?"
"Five months."
Recently, Xiao Long felt a little relieved after hearing that the operating conditions of every hospital were not very good. But other hospitals are at most in arrears with three months of drug payments, and five months in arrears is indeed excessive. No wonder drug dealers are complaining. Now that the emergency money has not yet been secured, Xiao Long thought of Lai Qianxiu and Xia Zhifang. Although Lai Qianxiu agreed to lend him money last night, it would take some time to get the cash; although Xia Zhifang agreed to help Xiao Long apply for a loan using the hospital's real estate as collateral, the money had to be used to prove financial strength to Long Zhu and could not Used for hospital capital turnover.
Xiao Long promised to think about it and let the purser go out first. The sky was clear outside the window, and the bright sunshine formed a sharp contrast with Xiao Long's depressed mood at the moment.
It is normal to be chased by drug dealers to pay bills. One-third of the hospital's total revenue must be paid to drug dealers. If there is a debt, drug dealers will not only look bad, but will also refuse to supply new drugs with good therapeutic effects.
The nurse sent a stack of letters, as usual, most of them were advertisements, including many brochures of new drugs sent by pharmaceutical companies. Pharmacists have stopped supplying new drugs, and it’s ridiculous that hospitals still receive these messages!
While looking through the letters, Xiao Long found a long-lost handwriting. After a closer look, it turned out to be a letter from his wife. It was really rare! Since the separation, unless there was something very important, the two of them had never even sent a postcard to greet each other. Xiao Long opened the envelope.
Mr. Xiao Long:
After the separation, is everything okay? If this is not dealt with as soon as possible, I will not be able to live in peace. I know that it is not appropriate to resolve this kind of matter by writing a letter, and I also know that divorce should be done in a formal manner. The reason why I wrote this letter is that I hope to get the alimony as soon as possible. It's not good for anyone if we drag this out, and I hope to use the money to plan a new life. I respect your opinion and this time I hope you will reply directly by writing and specify the payment amount and date. If you delay in replying, I will have no choice but to hire a lawyer to negotiate with you.
I know your personality very well, and I am worried about your delay in replying. This is a critical juncture in my life. I hope you will reply to me soon so that I can feel at ease as soon as possible. After sending the letter, I will wait for a week. If there is no reply by then, I will follow the legal procedures mentioned above.
Note: This matter must be responded to by letter. It is useless to come to me without prior notification.
After Xiao Long glanced through it roughly, he read it carefully again, then threw the letter on the table, stood up, lit a cigarette, and walked to the window. Under the blue sky and white clouds, there are peaceful families and peaceful streets. However, under the eaves of thousands of houses, the living conditions of every family are different. Xiao Long imagined his wife's expression when she wrote the letter. This cold-blooded Women like to put on airs and never fulfill their duty to take care of their husbands. Xiao Long always felt that she was with her new boyfriend when she wrote this letter. After reading the last note, this feeling became even stronger.
Xiao Long sneered. It was not because of jealousy. He had long wanted to break up with her completely so that he could marry Long Zhu, so there was no need to care whether she had found a new love. Even if there is, it must be a man younger than her. Xiao Long feels that sooner or later, the alimony paid to her will be defrauded by the other party. Thinking of this, the middle-aged woman who was grieving for being deceived of her love and money by a man that she had seen on TV in the past was unknowingly replaced by the face of her own wife.
Forget it, it doesn’t matter. Give her the money quickly and complete the divorce procedures so that you can marry Longzhu. However, he has to present a property list to Longzhu, pay alimony to his wife, and also consider the management of the hospital. well! All require money!
At this time, Xiao Long suddenly realized that he had to contact Long Zhu quickly. I wonder if she is still angry about what happened last night? Will he reject his proposal because of this? No, it won't. On the surface, she will blame Xiao Long for being rude - that's out of a woman's shame - but in fact, she has accepted Xiao Long. At least, this way the two of them are one step closer to each other emotionally than having to "message" through Xia Zhifang to get married. After all, she followed Xiao Long to such a store without hesitation, which was enough to show her intentions. If she planned to reject Xiao Long, she would not accept his invitation. Xiao Long's mistake was that he should not have left her alone to take a shower first. , but the whole thing wasn't a complete failure. So, Xiao Long picked up the phone in front of him.
"The teacher is not here." The female voice on the other end of the phone answered truthfully after confirming Xiao Long's name.
"Did she go out?" Based on intuition, Xiao Long thought Long Zhu was pretending not to be there.
"Yes." The woman did not say where she went.
"When are you coming back?"
The voice on the phone hesitated: "It might be late."
"When she comes back, please tell her I called."
"Okay." Xiao Long hung up the phone.
Maybe Long Zhu expected that Xiao Long would call today, so he asked the woman to say this. Is she angry, or is she deliberately avoiding it? Xiao Long had no way of knowing. In short, calling her these days was in vain. However, Xiao Long was not worried. He understood Long Zhu's desire to escape. After thinking for a while, Xiao Long took out the letter paper from the drawer, finished his cigarette, and began to write. Inspired by his wife's letter, he also chose to write a letter.
Miss Dragon Ball:
I lost my temper last night. You must be very angry, blaming me for being reckless. I hope you can forgive me. It was a rare opportunity for us to spend some pleasant time together, and I'm really sorry that I offended you.
However, my feelings are sincere and I really love you. It's just that I'm no longer young and am ashamed to say it directly. Words can better express my feelings. I really love you. I did date many women in the past, but those are in the past and I have broken up with them now. Maybe you think I'm pretending, but you are really the woman I love most in my life. I will feel embarrassed if I write any more, so I’ll stop here and hope you can understand my feelings!
My feelings cannot be fully expressed in this letter. I hope to meet you, and I promise that nothing like last time will happen, please promise me. Forgive me for deciding the date and place on my own: I will wait for you at the Shuxiangju Hotel on the Commercial Street at six o'clock on Saturday evening.
I have to leave the hospital for five days due to work reasons, so don’t forget our agreement.
Xiao Long
Telling her that he is going out for a few days is to prevent her from calling to refuse. This kind of unilateral forced invitation makes the other party unable to refuse. Xiao Long fully believed that Longzhu would definitely appear at Shuxiangju on Saturday evening a week later. Before that, she might be hesitant, but she would definitely go. Therefore, she could not be given the opportunity to bargain now. Women must obey men. Order.
After finishing writing, Xiao Long read it from beginning to end before putting it in an envelope, writing the address and recipient's name, putting it in a drawer, and then took a deep drag on his cigarette.
On Saturday evening, Xiao Long arrived at Shuxiangju at half past five and made an appointment with Long Zhu at six o'clock. She should not have arrived yet. A twenty-four or five-year-old girl was thinking at the front desk with her head down. When Xiao Long walked up to her, she raised her head and said, "Just pay when you leave."
Xiao Long smiled and said: "I'm not paying the bill, I just want to leave a message."
"Are you going to call someone out?" The girl was about to call someone else, but Xiao Long quickly stopped her, "No, no, I want you to give something to someone who is coming later."
"Okay, what's the guest's name?" The girl picked up the pencil.
"Miss Longzhu, she is twenty-seven or eighty years old."
"OK."
Xiao Long took out an envelope from his pocket with Long Zhu's name written on it.
"We have arranged to meet here at six o'clock. My name is Xiao Long. Please give this to her in person."
The girl took the envelope and put it on the front desk: "Just give it to her?"
"right."
"knew."
"please."
Xiao Long insisted on leaving a tip of 100 yuan before walking out of the store. Then, he got into the car parked in front of the store, drove along the road across the Xinqiao, and headed towards Xicheng.
Under the night, neon lights shine with colorful brilliance. There was a map in the envelope given by Xiao Long to Long Zhu, with the following words written next to it: "I was supposed to be waiting for you at Shuxiangju, but suddenly something urgent happened and I couldn't go. I'm really sorry for this situation. But I will do whatever it takes. I all want to see you. I finish my work at about half past six. Can you wait for me at the place marked on the map at this time? I really want to see you. Please don’t be angry. Can you come to this place? Please. I will It’s been waiting for you there.”
