Xiao Hua hasn't seen Zhou Musheng for a long time since their last encounter at the movie theater.
Of course, Zhou Musheng himself didn't contact her either.
As a result, they didn't see each other for several months.
Xiaohua was busy and didn't take the initiative to ask him out.
Haishang City experienced a high-intensity typhoon. Because weather forecasts in the 1990s were not particularly accurate, there was no prediction of when the typhoon would make landfall, and Xiaohua and her family were not prepared to withstand the typhoon.
All the doors and windows of the training institution were destroyed, and most of the tables and chairs were broken and unusable. Several teachers on duty were seriously injured, and two elderly security guards at the school gate died despite rescue efforts.
Fortunately, the typhoon made landfall around 2 p.m. on Wednesday, not after 5:30 p.m. when students come to the tutoring center for extra classes after school. At least no students were injured, which is a blessing in disguise.
Their training institution doesn't have much money in its accounts. The damaged doors, windows, tables and chairs will require a large sum of money to replace. Several seriously injured teachers are in the ICU and need a lot of medical expenses. The families of the two dead security guards also need to be compensated.
After the typhoon, the children will gradually return to school. All the facilities inside the school, including doors, windows, desks, chairs, roofs, etc., need to be redone as soon as possible. We cannot delay the children's classes, otherwise it will affect enrollment.
Each and every one of these projects undoubtedly requires a large sum of money.
Xiao Hua simply couldn't come up with at least several hundred thousand yuan in a short time.
When he was short of money, Zhou Musheng was the first person he thought of.
She immediately went to Zhou Musheng's company to ask him for some money.
When Li Zhu told Zhou Musheng that Xiao Hua was waiting for him downstairs at the company, Zhou Musheng simply looked up at his assistant and said, "I'm not seeing her. Tell her I'm on a business trip and not here."
Li Zhu didn't reply immediately. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Miss Ye's training institution must have run into trouble. The weather forecast was inaccurate for such a big typhoon. I guess they didn't take any precautions in advance. You must be here for money. Should we ask the company's finance department to provide a few hundred thousand yuan to help Miss Ye get through this difficult time?"
"Ha, Zhong Wuyan when you need something, Xia Yingchun when you don't. Just say I'm not here, and if you don't have money, figure it out yourself!"
Zhou Musheng's face was as cold as ice, devoid of any warmth.
Doesn't she have a powerful ex-husband? It's just a few hundred thousand yuan; she can ask her ex-husband for it.
Zhou Musheng didn't know what was wrong with him. He was just angry. He was angry that she would rather spend Valentine's Day with her ex-husband than with him. He was angry that she knew he was upset and angry, but she hadn't come to see him for so long.
He doesn't go to her, so she doesn't go to him.
What angered her most was that her ex-husband could freely enter and leave her house and even stay overnight.
When young men and women live together, things that should and shouldn't happen probably happen!
How did he know this? It was because Xiaohua hadn't come to see him for a long time, so he drove to her house and happened to run into her ex-husband early in the morning, who came downstairs in his pajamas to take out the trash.
It's obvious that her ex-husband also stayed here that night.
Since they are divorced but still living together, they are doing well in their new home.
If she needed help, she should have sought it from her ex-husband first, not him. What did she take him for? A free ATM machine, someone she could ask for money whenever she ran out?
"Mr. Zhou, what's wrong? Didn't you say that as long as it's Miss Ye, money is no object, just give me whatever you want!"
Li Zhu was somewhat puzzled.
"Do you think I own a bank? Do you think I'll give money to everyone who asks me for it? Just do as I say, stop talking nonsense and get out!"
Zhou Musheng rarely lost his temper, so it was clear that Li Zhu was genuinely angry that he had lost his temper.
He then obediently came down and gave Ye Xiaohua a reply.
"Ms. Ye, Mr. Zhou is not here right now. He's on a business trip. If you have anything urgent to discuss, please come back and talk to him later!"
Look at what you're saying! What's so important that you can come back and talk to him later? If it's something you can come back and talk to him later, what's so important about it?
"Assistant Li, could you please tell me if Mr. Zhu has any issues with me? He's not on a business trip. I'm not stupid."
“Ms. Ye, I am just his work assistant. His private life is none of my business. I think if he is angry with you, it should be a private matter between you two.”
"Private matters?" Xiaohua was even more annoyed. What could they possibly have going on privately?
"Assistant Li, could you please ask him again for me? I know he's not on a business trip. I really have something very important to tell him, and I'm in a real hurry."
She was in a real hurry, extremely anxious. She didn't know any wealthy people, and the only person who could give her 500,000 to 600,000 yuan was Zhou Musheng.
It was only when something happened that I realized how much I depended on Zhou Musheng.
"Okay, I'll ask again for you."
Assistant Li eagerly ran off to ask again.
"Mr. Zhou, Miss Ye says she's in a very urgent situation. Please meet with her and hear what she has to say!"
Zhou Musheng threw the pen in his hand away.
"Let her go. I don't want to see her. That's all I'll say."
Li Zhu wanted to say something, but then he realized that he was just an assistant and not someone important to him. Did he really think that Li Zhu could offer him a few words of advice?
People should always recognize their own identity, and Assistant Li does this very well.
He obediently went down to give his reply.
"Miss Ye, Mr. Zhou said you should leave; he doesn't want to see you."
Xiaohua felt a chill in her heart after hearing this. What was wrong with him? What had she done to provoke him to such a temper?
But now is not the time to dwell on this issue. The hospital is waiting for life-saving funds, the family is waiting for compensation, and all the school's facilities, including doors, windows, and glass, need to be replaced as soon as possible. Workers can only start working if they are paid.
She couldn't care less why he was angry with her.
He didn't want to see her, so naturally he didn't want to lend her any more money.
She has to think of another way.
She thought of Lu Zhan, but she didn't know what unreasonable demands he would make.
Never mind, at least the hospital should pay the life-saving money as soon as possible, and the medical expenses of those teachers lying in the ICU burning through money can't be delayed.
Without Lu Zhan's contact information, she went directly to He Yan.
Upon hearing this, He Yan immediately said, "I have nearly 100,000 yuan here for you to use first. I'll go to the bank to withdraw it right away."
"100,000 is not enough at all. I might need a million, or at least 600,000 to barely make it."
Upon hearing this, He Yan immediately said, "I know. You can use my money first. Lu Zhan's hotel also suffered heavy losses due to this typhoon. I'm afraid his company doesn't have any extra money in its accounts, but I will definitely ask for it for you. Don't worry about the money. I'll help you borrow from a few more people to raise the money."
