In the waiting room, the bride Liang Yan was sitting on the sofa in a white gauze dress, her palms slightly sweaty.
Zhao Qianqian joked, "The wedding hasn't even started yet, and the bride can't wait?"
"I'm so nervous, and you're still laughing?" Liang Yan glared at her good friend and said angrily, "Help me check if my makeup is smudged."
Zhao Qianqian looked at it carefully and gave a positive answer after a long time, "No, it's very beautiful."
"That's good." Liang Yan felt slightly relieved.
To ease her emotions, she chatted with her friend, "After graduating from college, you returned to your hometown, and I stayed in this city to work hard. We haven't been in touch for a long time. When I sent out the invitation for this wedding, I thought you wouldn't come."
"You're my friend." Zhao Qianqian said seriously, "I have to come when you get married."
Liang Yan felt warm in her heart. She knew that the other party was telling the truth.
This can be seen from the amount of the red envelope.
Many college classmates came to attend the wedding today. Those with average relationships gave 300, and those with good relationships gave 500. But this silly girl gave 5,000 at once!
Liang Yan was both moved and helpless.
After graduating from college, the two lived in different cities. It had been three years since they last saw each other.
She thought that no matter how good the relationship was, there would still be rifts, but she didn't expect Zhao Qianqian to do this.
Almost instantly, she thought back to her college days.
"You used to be so extravagant." Liang Yan's face showed a look of nostalgia, "Just come here, why are you so polite?"
Zhao Qianqian said confidently, "I'm happy that my good friend is getting married!"
Seeing Liang Yan was about to say something, Zhao Qianqian asked first, "With our friendship, what's wrong with giving her a 5,000 yuan red envelope?"
"You can't say that..." Liang Yan was about to persuade her when someone suddenly knocked on the door and poked his head out, "The auspicious time is almost here, is the bride ready?"
Liang Yan immediately forgot what she was going to say.
Zhao Qianqian saw the opportunity and quickly said hello and left, "I'll wait for you in the lobby."
Before Liang Yan could say anything, she disappeared without a trace, obviously afraid of being scolded.
Liang Yan laughed, "I haven't seen you for a few years, but your temper is exactly the same as before."
**
She didn't understand Liang Yan's joy in saving every penny, and Liang Yan didn't understand her joy in spending money. In the end, no one could convince the other. Why talk too much on such a happy day?
Thinking of this, Zhao Qianqian went into the bathroom to sort out her clothes.
Just as she turned on the faucet, a female voice she had never heard before whispered in her ear, "You're going bankrupt."
Zhao Qianqian was shocked.
Looking up at myself in the mirror, I saw a little person the size of a palm sitting on my shoulder. She had fair skin and pretty features. She was wearing a suit and looked beautiful and capable, like an exquisite rag doll.
...However, the villain suddenly appeared and spoke, and Zhao Qianqian felt as terrified as if she were in a horror movie.
"Who are you?!" She suppressed the fear deep in her heart and asked.
"My name is Yun Luo." The little man sat on my shoulder without changing his expression, and his voice was indifferent. "I appeared in front of you to help you overcome the difficulties."
Zhao Qianqian made a sudden move, trying to throw the treacherous villain away. Unexpectedly, the villain did not move, and she threw it in vain - she could clearly see Yun Luo in the mirror, but she couldn't touch him!
The next second, Yun Luo disappeared out of thin air, and a voice rang directly in the host's mind, "It has been bound and cannot be unbound. Please stay calm."
Zhao Qianqian gritted her teeth and said, "Rogue software!"
"The host is about to go bankrupt, and I'm here to help." Yun Luo said.
"No need!" Zhao Qianqian was extremely indifferent. "Only businessmen who do business will go bankrupt. I'm just an ordinary clerk."
Yun Luo pulled up the host's profile. "Zhao Qianqian, 26 years old this year, works as a salesperson in a car sales service 4S store, with a monthly salary of four to five thousand."
“I grew up in a single-parent family and lived with my mother, who is now retired.”
"I've been working for three years, and I've spent as much as I was paid every month, with no surplus. The only time I've got a little extra is when I get my year-end bonus. But within a month, I'll spend it all again."
"When you heard that your college friend was getting married, you took a special leave and rushed to attend the wedding. It happened that the company distributed the year-end bonus in advance, so you prepared a very generous red envelope and planned to travel around the city after the wedding."
"So what?" Zhao Qianqian looked alert. "I'm still young, I don't have a boyfriend, my family has no burden, and I earn my own money. I can spend it however I want. Isn't that right?"
"Your paid annual leave has been used up. You are applying for personal leave, so your salary will be deducted based on the number of days." Yun Luo reminded, "It is recommended that you give up your travel plans and return early."
"I don't want it." Zhao Qianqian was stubborn. "I have the final say on how I want to live my life. No one else has the right to interfere!"
At this time, someone happened to enter the bathroom. She was startled when she heard Zhao Qianqian's declaration. Then she looked at Zhao Qianqian strangely and walked away quickly.
Yun Luo: "Host, don't get excited. I am only responsible for giving suggestions. It is up to you to decide whether to follow them or not."
"When living inside a host's brain, it can communicate with its mind to avoid other people's suspicion."
"Bankruptcy means that an individual or company cannot repay its debts or is insolvent. The system recognizes a wider range of cases, including but not limited to..."
"I just hope you can shut up and pretend you don't exist." Zhao Qianqian complained.
After a moment of silence, Yun Luo promised, "I will not speak again unless the host summons me."
"That's better." Hearing the host in the hall say "the wedding is about to begin", Zhao Qianqian hurried out.
**
The groom is handsome and the bride is beautiful, and the wedding scene is filled with a festive and peaceful atmosphere.
Zhao Qianqian was not a bridesmaid. She only needed to drink a few glasses of wine when the newlyweds toasted, and spend the rest of the time eating and drinking, having a great time.
He pretended to be calm, but he was quite concerned inside.
Why did the system come to her?
She works hard when she is working and relaxes when she is having fun. What's wrong with that? Why did they let her take her leave and go back early?
The talk of her going bankrupt was even more puzzling. She didn't run a business, and she didn't owe anyone money, so how could she go bankrupt?
After thinking it over, Zhao Qianqian concluded that either the system had found the wrong person, or that person was a loser and was talking nonsense.
Thinking of this, she felt relieved and her expression relaxed.
**
After the wedding, Zhao Qianqian had a great time in the local area for three days as planned.
It was not until there was only a hundred yuan left in her wallet that she decided to return home, still not satisfied.
Three days passed and nothing happened. Zhao Qianqian gradually put the incident at the wedding behind her - as long as the crappy system kept silent and did not show off its presence, she could pretend that the system did not exist.
The return trip takes more than three hours.
When Zhao Qianqian got home, she was carrying a lot of bags. Although she was extremely tired physically, she was very satisfied mentally.
"Mom, I'm back."
No one answered.
"Did you go out for a walk?" Zhao Qianqian muttered and went back to the house to pack her luggage.
Just as I opened the suitcase, I suddenly received a call, "Hello, this is the First People's Hospital. Are you a family member of Ms. Wang Yan?"
Zhao Qianqian had an ominous premonition in her heart and answered hesitantly, "Yes, I am her daughter."
"It's like this. Ms. Wang came to the hospital for a physical examination and suddenly fainted."
"The hospital initially determined that a benign tumor in the brain compressed the nerves, causing the fainting."
"In this case, immediate surgery is recommended. We have already arranged for her to be hospitalized. Is it convenient for you to come over now?" the other party asked.
Tumor? Fainting? Surgery? Zhao Qianqian was stunned.
She didn't bother to clean up and asked anxiously, "Which ward? I'll be there right away!"
**
Hospital.
Zhao Qianqian's mother Wang Yan fell asleep peacefully, while Zhao Qianqian talked with the doctor outside the room to understand the situation.
"When did my mother know that she had a benign tumor in her brain?" Zhao Qianqian's voice was hoarse.
The doctor told her, "About half a year ago, Ms. Wang had blurred vision and couldn't see things clearly, so she went to the hospital for treatment."
"That's when we discovered that her visual impairment was caused by the tumor pressing on the optic nerve."
"Because it is a benign tumor, we recommend surgical removal as soon as possible. But Ms. Wang said she wanted conservative treatment and was unwilling to take risks."
"In fact, medicine is very advanced now. Ms. Wang is in her 50s, which is not considered old. If her physical condition allows, surgery is the best option."
"Besides, the cost is not high. The surgery fee plus hospitalization fee is at most 50,000 or 60,000 yuan. After the tumor is removed, the patient can rest for a while and then live a normal life as before."
"Generally speaking, benign tumors will not turn into malignant tumors. But if we insist on not having surgery, we cannot rule out the possibility that benign tumors may develop into malignant tumors."
Her mother wasn't afraid of danger, she was worried about the cost of the surgery!
Zhao Qianqian's face paled as she heard each sentence. At the end, her face turned pale as paper, and she asked tremblingly, "...What will happen if it turns into a malignant tumor?"
The doctor admitted, "Even if it is removed, it is likely to recur many times."
Zhao Qianqian covered her mouth.
"If you are sick, you should seek medical treatment as soon as possible to prevent a minor illness from turning into a major one. Don't worry, it's still in time for surgery in the next two days," the doctor comforted.
Zhao Qianqian calmed herself down and said, "I will discuss this with my mother after she wakes up."
"We'll talk about the surgery after the patient wakes up." The doctor nodded. "Please go to the counter later to pay the hospital fee."
Zhao Qianqian dug her nails into her flesh and responded politely, "Okay."
After explaining the precautions, the doctor left.
Zhao Qianqian walked into the room, slid down slowly with her back against the wall, her eyes dull - there was only 101.5 yuan in her wallet, where did she get the money to pay for the hospitalization?
For a moment, my head was blank, without any thoughts.
After a while, Zhao Qianqian calmed down. She grabbed her phone and decided to call Liang Yan.
She had just given out 5,000 yuan as a red envelope a few days ago, and today she was negotiating with the other party whether she could return 1,000 or 2,000 yuan. Just thinking about it made her face burn.
But apart from asking for the money back, what else can I do? There is no money in my card, no money in my wallet, let alone surgery, I can't even afford a hospital room!
Thinking that her mother was still in a coma, Zhao Qianqian didn't care about her face and called her friend.
"Hello, the user you dialed has been turned off..."
Zhao Qianqian's heart skipped a beat.
She suddenly remembered that Liang Yan had mentioned to her that they would have a two-week honeymoon after the wedding. To avoid being disturbed by work, the couple would turn off their phones.
In other words, she couldn't find Liang Yan during her honeymoon.
After figuring it out, Zhao Qianqian's eyes went dark.
In fact, I have spent all my money until I only have 100 left. In the past, I would just go home after work and wait for the next month's salary to arrive, and then I could spend money again.
However, this time when she was out of money, her family member happened to be sick, which made her anxious.
Looking at the address book list, Zhao Qianqian made up her mind and decided to ask her colleagues for a loan.
Who knows——
"I bought some financial products after receiving my year-end bonus. I can't withdraw large amounts of money right now, so I only have 500 or 600 yuan for food."
"I borrowed money to pay the down payment for my house. Now I'm in debt and have no spare money. I'm sorry, I can't help you."
"Are you asking me to borrow money? Are you kidding? I don't have any! Year-end bonus? I went to the mall and bought the latest mobile phone and computer the same night it arrived. I spent it a long time ago!"
Some people didn’t answer the phone, and I don’t know whether they were away or they deliberately didn’t answer.
Zhao Qianqian's hands and feet were cold, and she felt like she was falling into an ice cave. Before this, she had never thought that one day she would be so worried about a mere 1,000 yuan.
