"Move out? Why?" Bai Feiyao really couldn't work properly recently. He had been criticized by the manager countless times.
That disgusting old man actually abused his power for personal gain and even groped him when he was criticized.
Bai Feiyao dragged his tired body back from the company. He loosened his tie and before he inserted the key into the door, he heard a knocking sound from inside the door and stopped immediately.
Your house was robbed?!
He subconsciously took out his cell phone, his thumb trembling as he hesitated whether to call 110 right now.
The door was suddenly opened from the inside, and a burly man with bare chest and holding a hammer came in. He looked hurried, as if he was in a hurry to get out.
Bai Feiyao took a step back and asked cautiously: "You are——"
The big man was in a hurry. When he saw Bai Feiyao blocking the door with the key in his hand facing his own door, he said impatiently, "Wrong door? Go, go, go, get out of the way!"
Bai Feiyao was nearly slapped away by the big hand. He stepped aside in a daze and saw the burly man striding out. He turned sideways to take a look at the situation inside the house, but the moment the man stepped out of the door, he slammed the door shut, and he could not see anything!
Bai Feiyao weakly called out to the large man who was waiting for the elevator with his legs shaking, "Excuse me, what are you doing here?"
"Renovation!" The big man looked Bai Feiyao up and down nonchalantly, narrowing his eyes and asking, "Why are you asking this?"
"Brother, are you mistaken? This is... my house?" Bai Feiyao was cautious, fearing that his words would anger the big man.
Just based on the difference in size, the big man could crush Bai Feiyao to death!
"What do you mean your home? This is my home! The new house I bought!" The big man blinked and suddenly realized, "Oh, you are the one called Bai Feiyao."
Bai Feiyao nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, you know?"
The big man smiled mockingly, "Well, I've heard a little bit about you. Is this house... yours?"
Bai Feiyao always felt that the other person looked at him strangely. His eyes flashed: "This house was newly bought by my friend. He has completed the formal procedures." He followed the whole process at that time, not because he wanted to accompany Cheng Ye, but because he was jealous that Cheng Ye had only worked hard for a few years and was able to buy a house of his own in this place where every inch of land is worth a lot of money.
Although it was a loan, it was enough to make Bai Feiyao, who was penniless and could not even afford a floor tile after living in Beijing for several years, envious and jealous.
"He sold it to me." The big man said lightly.
"How is that possible!" The house was bought less than two years ago. Besides, Cheng Ye is in the hospital now and is said to be seriously injured. How could he have the time and energy to sell the house!
Besides, Cheng Ye knew that he was still living there, so how could he sell the house without even receiving any information?
Bai Feiyao didn't believe it.
Does Cheng Ye really hate himself so much?
Bai Feiyao didn’t believe it anymore!
If Bai Feiyao was still a little worried before Jian Kang's visit, he was completely relieved when he came back and heard Jian Kang say that Cheng Ye only asked them to pay for the medical expenses and was not angry.
Sometimes he really looked down on Cheng Ye from the bottom of his heart. He always acted like a saint, forgiving this and that without even considering whether others appreciated his forgiveness.
He was convinced that as long as he simply explained, Cheng Ye would definitely forgive him with a condescending attitude, as if he didn't want to bother with him.
That face is so disgusting just thinking about it.
This is also one of the reasons why he has been waiting for so long to see Cheng Ye.
He will be forgiven anyway, so it doesn't matter whether he sees it sooner or later. He doesn't want to delay his business because of little Cheng Ye.
But now—
Bai Feiyao's facial features twisted slightly for a moment: "But brother, I still live in-"
"So what do you mean?" The big man's patience ran out, staring at the rising number in the elevator. "We have legal procedures. If you're a tenant, do you have a contract?"
Contract, please!
He and Cheng Ye are friends. Does he need a contract to live in his friend's house?
Bai Feiyao bit his lower lip: "No——"
The big man sneered: "You live here for free? Then what qualifications do you have to control the house I bought now? Get out of here and don't block the way!" He waved his hand like he was shooing away a fly.
"Ding Dong--" The elevator door slowly opened and the big man pushed him away.
Bai Feiyao was thin and his ankle suddenly went weak, causing him to stumble and fall against the wall. When he got up, the elevator door was slowly closing. He knew that he would definitely not be able to get in today, so he had to call Cheng Ye to ask him about it.
But the most urgent thing now is - Bai Feiyao hurriedly got up and frantically blocked the elevator door with his hands: "Wait, brother, my luggage, and my -"
"You mean those junk?" The big man chewed his gum and rolled his eyes as he thought for a while. "If you go downstairs now, you might still see them in the trash can."
Bai Feiyao: “!”
Bai Feiyao cried out in shock: "How could you touch my things? Those are not junk, but also my company's information. You - wait, wait, wait." He pressed the elevator button frantically, but still watched the big man roll his eyes at him with disdain, and went downstairs with a raised eyebrow.
"Damn!" Bai Feiyao kicked the elevator door hard. Looking at the red number on the elevator gradually descending, he suddenly remembered that the garbage disposal in this community was exactly at 7 pm. He took out his mobile phone, and the huge numbers 18:43 hit his eyes. He was stunned and ran downstairs quickly without waiting for the elevator.
I forgot to bring an important document to work today!
If all my things were thrown away, did that mean that the document was now—
Oh my God, that’s a document with the official seal of our partner. If it’s lost, there’s no way to reissue it.
He has to compensate the company for its losses, and the losses must be huge losses that he cannot afford!
I stumbled all the way and almost lost my shoes.
The height of the twenty-third floor is no joke. After Bai Feiyao quickly descended to the bottom, he was already out of breath and could only lie on the wall to breathe.
Unfortunately, he didn't have time to catch his breath before he saw workers dumping garbage into the garbage truck.
"Wait, wait." Bai Feiyao ran over at the speed of a 100-meter sprint and almost rushed into the trash can.
After spending a lot of time and effort to persuade the staff to leave the trash can, Bai Feiyao finally let out the breath he had been holding in. His legs softened and he sat down on the ground.
The rotten and stench in the air filled his nose, and there were even a few flies lingering in front of his eyes. Bai Feiyao showed a look of disgust, held his breath and forced himself to rummage through the trash can.
"Fuck!" Those damn bastards actually—even if they put it in a garbage bag to sort it out, it would be much better than the current situation where it's scattered and I can't find it all if I'm not careful. Bai Feiyao held up a piece of paper that was obviously a contract, but was stained with some strange yellow stain. "Only the cover is left?! Where are the terms and conditions on the back? They must have done it on purpose, taking off the paper clips?!"
He later discovered that this situation happened in more than one trash can, and almost every trash can had some of his things "deposited" in it.
The good news was that his clothes, shoes and other things were all there, but the bad news, no, it should be earth-shattering news, was that his very important document was there, but there was obviously not much left, and basically - it was unusable. After all, the handwriting was smudged and could not be seen clearly, especially the signature part of each contract was either missing or torn into pieces.
This also includes the materials he will mail to the cooperative company tomorrow!
Bai Feiyao leaned against the trash can, tears streaming down his face. Those materials were very important to him, and among them were irreplaceable receipts.
It's over, his work is completely over!
His life is over too.
Bai Feiyao looked at his completely dirty things, and sat dejectedly on the edge of the flower bed, covering his face with his hands. When his eyes hurt a little, he realized that his hands were covered with all kinds of sticky filth, and his face was covered with them.
The sky gradually darkened, and the stench in the air grew thicker. Bai Feiyao suddenly put down his hand. Where should he stay tonight?!
He wiped away the moisture that was about to evaporate from his eyes, opened his phone and looked at the word "leaves". His thumb trembled, but in the end he didn't press it.
He was not a fool, it was impossible for him not to see that Cheng Ye was deliberately making trouble for him.
It seems that I really won’t get Cheng Ye’s forgiveness this time.
Bai Feiyao took a deep breath, exited the address book, opened Meituan, and searched for nearby hotels with a panicked heart but pretending to be calm.
Unfortunately, this was a prime location in the city center, and even a regular apartment would cost over 400 yuan per night. Bai Feiyao simply couldn't afford it. He casually opened his Alipay account, and the moment he saw his balance, his entire demeanor plummeted. He slumped his shoulders and grimaced, "Hmph! If I get fired tomorrow, I won't even have enough money for lunch."
Just when he was thinking that he could sleep in the Internet cafe all night, but what would he do when he had to go to work tomorrow, the dark screen of his mobile phone suddenly lit up, and the two big words "Leaf" flashed happily.
Bai Feiyao's hands trembled and he almost threw the phone into the trash can.
"Ye, Ye Zi? You—"
Not wanting to engage in hypocritical pleasantries, Cheng Ye interrupted him directly: "Fei Yao, you're off work, right?"
"Yeah, I'm getting off. By the way, Ye Zi, I want to ask you something--" Bai Feiyao pinched the ends of his nose, hesitated for a moment, and finally said it out loud. Maybe Cheng Ye didn't know, maybe Cheng Ye had no intention of breaking up with him at all.
Bai Feiyao held onto a tiny hope in his heart: "When I get home after get off work, um...someone said you sold the house?"
"Oh, I can't afford the medical bills, so I have to sell the house first. Otherwise, I will have to bear a large amount of repayments every month. As you know, I am still in the hospital and can't work at all, so of course I have no source of income." Cheng Ye said in a low voice.
Bai Feiyao was delighted at first. As expected, Cheng Ye would not be angry with him at all.
But then he was filled with anger, but he didn't vent it right away. After all, no matter how much he relied on Cheng Ye, he couldn't say such nonsense as "This house is for the two of us to live in, how can you sell the house at will? Don't treat the illness if you don't have money" when Cheng Ye was still in the hospital.
Bai Feiyao scratched his hair irritably, sniffed and started crying: "Ye Zi, I have been wanting to see you during this period, but I didn't dare. I don't know how to ask for your forgiveness. It's all my fault. I didn't notice the change in Jian Kang's feelings for me earlier. If I had known earlier, I would have told you and kept my distance from him. Ye Zi, I-I really don't know how to face you." As the last word fell, there was so much calculation hidden in his eyes, and I'm afraid only he himself knew how much he was calculating.
Cheng Ye on the other end of the phone was using the hands-free mode and ate a small piece of apple handed to him by Tong Lu. He squinted his eyes because of the sweetness, but when he heard Bai Feiyao's disgusting words, he almost vomited.
Tong Lu hurriedly reached out to take it, but Cheng Ye just made a fake move and smiled at him with his chin raised, with a somewhat desolate smile.
"naughty!"
The feeling on his back completely dissipated, and Cheng Ye rolled his eyes: "Disgusting!"
"Do you want to eat more?" After Cheng Ye shook his head, Tong Lu took a bite of the remaining peeled apple. The sweet juice splashed on the tip of his tongue, as sweet as a leaf.
Cheng Ye ignored his sticky eyes and continued talking on the phone: "Fei Yao, if I don't pay the money, the hospital will stop providing the medicine. I sold the house at a low price. Why don't you find a place to live outside first? By the way..."
"But..." Bai Feiyao wanted to say something, but Cheng Ye didn't give him a chance to interrupt. "Didn't I lend you tens of thousands of yuan when you changed jobs before? I need the money urgently now. Please transfer it to me through Alipay."
"Ye Zi?! Didn't you say you don't have to pay it back for the time being?" Bai Feiyao had forgotten what he wanted to say just now.
Cheng Ye's voice suddenly darkened: "That was what I said when I was still alive and kicking."
When Bai Feiyao thought of the reason why Cheng Ye was hospitalized, he felt a little guilty. He hesitated for a few words before Cheng Ye said hurriedly, "The hospital bill will be paid at 9 o'clock tomorrow. You have to send it to me as soon as possible before then." Then he hung up the phone.
Bai Feiyao was so angry that his face turned red and veins on his neck bulged. He couldn't help but want to throw his phone away several times, but when he thought about the high cost of buying a phone, he had to endure it.
He had been unemployed for a long time before he found a new job. His previous savings and the tens of thousands of dollars that Cheng Ye had lent him had long been spent, and there was not much left. Where would he get the money to pay him back now?
Bai Feiyao held the phone and gritted his teeth for a long time. Finally, he decided to tear down the west wall to repair the east wall and ask other people to borrow some money for Cheng Ye first.
After all - he really couldn't afford to break up with Cheng Ye.
His current job was introduced by Cheng Ye as an intermediary. He was even waiting for Cheng Ye to say a few good words for him and forgive his mistake of not keeping the contract and materials properly this time.
A list of names emerged in his mind. Bai Feiyao frowned and screened them for a long time. Finally, he found one or two colleagues with whom he had a close relationship. He quickly found their phone numbers and dialed them.
In addition to borrowing money to repay Cheng Ye, he also had to borrow money for his accommodation for the next few days.
When Bai Feiyao thought of the huge amount of money, he felt a headache and could only try his luck.
"Brother Li, yes, it's me. I want to borrow some money—Oh, my sister-in-law is pregnant. Okay, it's okay, it's a happy occasion. I will definitely visit my sister-in-law when the time comes..."
"Brother Chao? I'm Fei Yao, huh? You're in the hospital? What happened? Is your uncle sick? Okay, say hello to your uncle for me and wish him a speedy recovery..."
After being rejected again and again, Bai Feiyao hung his head dejectedly and stopped making phone calls. He couldn't borrow any money anyway.
Just when he was feeling sorry for himself and had completely lost hope, his cell phone suddenly vibrated again.
Bai Feiyao buried his face deeply between his legs, unable to muster the energy to look. After cursing under his breath, he lazily looked at his phone. This time it was not Cheng Ye, but a partner of the company that collapsed because of a disagreement on profits.
Although he was in charge of that project, the project had already been signed with other companies, so it was too late to regret it.
Although Bai Feiyao felt strange, he still picked up the phone and called out respectfully, "Boss Yang, hey, hey, it's me, Bai Feiyao. Please be polite and just call me Xiaobai..."
"What? Dinner? Now?" Bai Feiyao glanced at the already darkening sky, then at the residents passing by him taking a stroll after dinner. He steeled himself and gritted his teeth, "Okay, tell me a place, and I'll take a taxi there."
"No, no, I wouldn't bother you sending someone to pick me up. I can go there myself..."
Within three days, a large sum of money was transferred from Bai Feiyao's account. Cheng Ye raised an eyebrow at the large amount and looked at Tong Lu, who was busy serving him soup. He half-raised himself and asked, "What did you do? How did Bai Feiyao suddenly become so rich?"
After all, a few days before he had the car accident, Cheng Ye helped pay for the milk when they went to the supermarket together. Even if he sold blood, he wouldn't make money so quickly!
Unless he—
Selling kidney!
Selling a kidney?
Sell yourself?
Cheng Ye's eyes twitched and he looked at Tong Lu in confusion.
Tong Lu took the time to look back at him: "Bai Feiyao has some redeeming qualities except for his face, but there is nothing else that can be squeezed out of him."
This is the truth, otherwise I wouldn't have been in the workplace for so many years without any savings.
Cheng Ye pulled the quilt under himself and looked at the "huge sum of money" thoughtfully. A hint of pity flashed across his eyes, and then turned into darkness.
He was the one who wronged himself first.
"Is the market so good now? I didn't expect Bai Feiyao to be so valuable?"
Tong Lu glanced at his slightly stiff expression, then calmly fed him the soup, even blowing it cool carefully. He slowly said, "This should be the value of him and Jian Kang together."
Cheng Ye: “?”
Cheng Ye tilted his head: "Jian Kang?"
"Since he can sell you out, he can certainly sell out others!"
But although Jian Kang is not a tall and muscular man, he is still a person with a solid figure and a plain face. He has an honest look that you would never find in a crowd of people.
Is there still anyone who likes this type of thing? Or is the market so vast now that there are only bad salesmen and no goods that cannot be sold?
Tong Lu understood what he was thinking and shook his head: "People like Jian Kang can play freely, so there is no need to worry about accidentally killing someone."
Cheng Ye: “…” It turns out that they were attracted by his strong physique and ability to withstand… that.
Tong Lu took out a tissue and helped him guess the soup stain at the corner of his mouth: "Okay, don't think about these messy things, the evildoers will be punished by God."
"Heaven takes it? It's you who takes it, right?" Those people must have been contacted by Tong Lu, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence that Bai Feiyao was dozing off when the pillow was delivered to his bed.
Tong Lu smiled and said nothing, which was equivalent to his agreement.
The best is yet to come!
