Chapter 249 Downfall

"It's a waste, Mom. When did you become so calculative?" Zhang Yu's tone was slightly impatient.

"When I was at the Xu family, every time I came home late from get off work, you would ask the chef to prepare a large table of midnight snacks for me, saying that you were worried that I would be hungry and have nothing to eat when I got home."

Zhang Yu said as he ate the sashimi on the table. "The ingredients for those midnight snacks are much more expensive than these. They are all imported and air-shipped. Aren't they all wasted?"

He usually comes back too late and has basically no appetite. He only eats a few bites occasionally and throws away the rest.

But even so, Zhang's mother still asked the chef to prepare a large table of midnight snacks every day for him to eat when he came back, and she never felt it was a waste.

"Son, the situation was different back then. Besides, those things were not bought by our family. If they are wasted, they are wasted. If you don't eat them, there are others who can eat them." Zhang's mother sighed when she said this.

"But now we are spending our own money, so we naturally have to be frugal." Zhang's mother said as she checked the balance on the card on her mobile phone.

The balance showed that there was RMB 66.69 left on the card.

When Zhang's mother saw this number, she took a deep breath.

When coming out of a five-star hotel.

There was clearly 1,896 left in the card, and I spent only 199 to book this room. How come after just one meal, this is all that was left?

Seeing his mother's expression of heartache and suffocation, Zhang Yu scratched his hair irritably and then picked up his phone.

"Mom, you're just too anxious. I'll call and ask for money right now."

As Zhang Yu spoke, he directly called a good friend of his.

The phone rang for a while but no one answered.

Zhang Yu felt a little puzzled and called again, but still no one answered.

This one didn't work, so he switched to another one.

But the call still didn't go through.

Zhang Yu called several numbers in a row, but no one answered his call.

Those good brothers who usually surround him and call him brother seem to be holding a group meeting at this moment.

The phone is collectively unavailable.

Zhang Yu, who was originally eating while talking on the phone, couldn't eat anymore.

He scratched his hair irritably, then picked another one in disbelief.

This time it finally worked.

The voice of the good brother on the other end of the phone was very loud, "Brother Yu, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Zhang Yu made up an excuse and asked him to borrow three hundred thousand yuan.

The good brother on the phone agreed immediately and said that he would transfer the money to him immediately.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yu was in a good mood. He sent his salary card number to his good brother on WeChat.

Good brother, I immediately sent him an OK expression.

"Mom, did you hear me? As long as I ask for a few hundred thousand or a million, it's just a small amount. You have to know that the people I know are all from wealthy families. This little money is nothing to them."

"Son, you are amazing. You know so many rich people. We can live well even without that hen that doesn't lay eggs." Zhang's mother finally smiled.

She picked up the chopsticks and ate the food on the table in big mouthfuls.

Soon, the whole table of food was eaten up by the two of them. After eating and drinking their fill, Zhang Yu called the hotel's cleaning lady to come and clean the room.

The cleaning lady looked at the many uneaten delicacies on the table. Judging from the packaging, they must be expensive, so she asked, "Have you cleared all of this? Don't you want the uneaten ones?"

Zhang Yu waved his hands, "I don't want any of them. Please help me throw them away."

The cleaning lady cleared away all the lunch boxes on the table and carefully placed the unopened ones on the cart she was cleaning, ready to take them home for dinner.

Zhang Yu had finished eating and fell on the bed, ready to take a nap.

"Mom, when the money arrives, go to the front desk and get another room." Zhang Yu said to his mother, "I'm not used to sleeping with you. You snore so loudly."

Seeing that her son complained about the loud noises he made while sleeping, Zhang's mother didn't care and just nodded and said, "I'll check the balance again."

Zhang Yu nodded and soon fell asleep on the bed.

Zhang's mother sat on the other bed, constantly counting the balance.

But no matter how many times she swiped her card, the balance remained the same.

When it was completely dark, Zhang Yu woke up from his sleep and saw that his mother looked very unhappy.

"Mom, why are you still here? Didn't I tell you to get another room?"

He also wants to play games alone in his room at night.

"Son, the money hasn't been credited to my account yet. Did you send the wrong card number?"

As Zhang's mother spoke, she refreshed her balance.

"No, what I just sent was a photo of the card." Zhang Yu took out his mobile phone and clicked on the WeChat interface.

"I'll send him a WeChat message to ask what's going on. Maybe he's busy during the day." Zhang Yu himself didn't quite believe what he said.

No one knows better than him what the rich second-generations he knows are like.

The rich second generation who can eat, drink and have fun like him every day outside are a group of people who have been abandoned by their families and are kept in captivity.

There is some spare money and some entertainment, but there is really no work.

He sent a message to the rich second-generation brother, but there was still no reply after more than ten minutes.

Zhang Yu dialed the number directly and the call was picked up soon.

The voice on the other end of the phone was very noisy, and Zhang Yu knew as soon as he heard it that the person was in the bar.

"Ah Lin, have you transferred the money? Why haven't I received it yet?"

"Brother Yu, it's not that I don't want to give you the money, but the Xu family said today that you have nothing to do with them anymore, so I don't dare to give you the money!"

The good brother's voice was so loud that it was deafening even through the noise of the bar.

"Did you and your sister-in-law have any misunderstanding? Brother Yu, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but your sister-in-law is a person who only responds to soft words and not to harsh words. You just need to say a few soft words to her when you go back."

"Ah Lin, some things are hard to explain right away. Just give me the money first, and I'll pay you back in a few days when I have the money back."

"Brother Yu, this is not about money. The Xu family has already made it clear. If I give you money now, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of the Xu family? Brother Yu, I really can't give you this money. I'm sorry."

"Go and apologize to your sister-in-law first. Once you two make peace, I'll lend you three million, not to mention three hundred thousand."

My good brother Alin hung up the phone right after he finished speaking.

Zhang Yu felt extremely bad as he listened to the beeping sound on the other end of the phone.

No wonder those people don’t answer his calls now.

It turned out that the Xu family had spread the word, and everyone was busy distancing themselves from him, for fear of being dragged down by him.

After all, those people initially flattered him because the Xu family held an important position among the business celebrities in City A.

"Damn it! They are just a bunch of opportunists!"

Zhang Yu was so angry that he jumped up from the bed and kicked the big bed in the standard room.
