Chapter 148: He is 23 years old and wants to die (Part 2)
Li Cheng seemed to have opened up and took the initiative to tell about his miserable life.
He was born in a rural area of Hubei Province, where his family had been farmers for generations. When he was eight years old, his father was diagnosed with moyamoya disease, and his mother went out to work to pay for his father's medical treatment.
In the end, when he was 15 years old, he chose to leave home.
Patients with moyamoya disease should avoid overwork and get more rest to prolong their lifespan. So 15-year-old Li Cheng took on this responsibility and went out to work to earn money for his father's medical treatment.
However, two years ago, my father passed away from this world due to cerebral hemorrhage.
Li Cheng has suffered from frequent headaches and impaired consciousness in recent years. He had some guesses in his mind, but after much hesitation, he went to the hospital.
In the end, several hospitals confirmed that he had inherited the moyamoya disease.
Li Cheng was desperate.
Li Cheng lowered his head and held the can in his hand. "Tell me, what is the purpose of life? I've lost my parents, I have no friends, and I've never been in love. If someone like me died, would anyone really shed a tear for me? Because no one would."
Li Cheng said with a self-deprecating smile, "Today is my birthday, so I want to end my life on this day."
"It's your birthday."
Lin Chenxi, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly laughed and asked, "Have you ever had a birthday cake since you were a child?"
Li Cheng was stunned for a few seconds and shook his head.
"Easy, Daniel, go buy a birthday cake."
"Yes, Mr. Lin."
The bodyguard ran away immediately.
"No, thanks." Li Cheng felt a little embarrassed and quickly refused.
"Meeting is fate." Lin Chenxi said with a smile, "You are Xiaoyue's fan, so it's normal to celebrate your birthday."
“I’m not much of a fan.”
Li Cheng felt a little ashamed, "I only listen to pirated songs."
"Ha ha ha ha."
Jiang Ningyue suddenly laughed, "It's okay, I don't care."
"Now, all you have to do is change your clothes and take a good bath."
Lin Chenxi said, "Then come out to celebrate your birthday."
"Really, that's not necessary." Li Cheng felt a little uneasy. Not only did the two people save his life, they also treated him to drinks and meals, and even celebrated his birthday.
This was something he had never felt since he was a child, and this kindness made him want to escape involuntarily.
"Let's do this."
Jiang Ningyue said, "You can do me a favor."
"Me? Help you?" Li Cheng was a little self-doubting. "What can I do to help you?"
Jiang Ningyue laughed. "I've been recording since a while ago. I'll edit the video and post it online, okay? I'll blur it for you."
"Oh, it doesn't matter if it's not censored."
Li Cheng smiled more, even a little happy, "No one knows me."
"If you don't censor it, the whole Internet will know you soon, and you will be an Internet celebrity." Jiang Ningyue said with a smile.
"Forget it, I'm not cut out for it." Li Cheng smiled and shook his head.
"Now you've done me a big favor."
Jiang Ningyue stood up and said, "So, just listen to Director Lin and go take a shower and change your clothes."
"Just follow us."
Lin Chenxi said with a smile.
"Oh." Li Cheng no longer refused and followed the two obediently.
Back at the hotel, Lin Chenxi said, "Arrange a room for him and send him a set of clothes."
"yes."
After watching Li Cheng enter the elevator, Lin Chenxi and Jiang Ningyue breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the sofa.
"Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, Amen."
"What a mess." Jiang Ningyue smiled and patted Lin Chenxi. The two sat on the sofa on the first floor. Jiang Ningyue smiled and said, "But it's all thanks to you. Otherwise, with so few people here, his body might be found tomorrow morning."
"Oh, how miserable."
Lin Chenxi sighed, "Tell me, are there many people like him?"
"There's a little girl in our village whose father fell from a mountain and died, and her mother is also gone. The child is now being taken care of by her lame grandmother."
"well."
Lin Chenxi shook his head and sighed, "I sigh deeply and shed tears, lamenting the hardships of people's lives."
"You're still feeling sentimental."
Jiang Ningyue picked up the cup and took a sip of lemonade.
"Hey, Xiaoyue."
Lin Chenxi suddenly had an idea. "How about I treat his illness and arrange for him to work in our group?"
"It's up to you." Jiang Ningyue smiled, "You have money, and if you're willing to be kind, I'll definitely support you."
"That's settled then." Lin Chenxi nodded, then looked at Jiang Ningyue mysteriously, "Xiaoyue, what do you think is the most important ability of an employee?"
Jiang Ningyue blinked, "What? Ability."
"No, it's loyalty."
Lin Chenxi said seriously, "I think he will be a loyal person."
Jiang Ningyue curled her lips, "I won't comment."
Soon, the bodyguard brought the cake, and Li Cheng also changed his clothes and walked over a little embarrassedly, "I'm sorry to trouble you."
"Come, sit down. We're celebrating your birthday." Lin Chenxi said with a smile, "I'm the director and young master of a listed company. And you're the top reporter at the provincial TV station. The two of us are celebrating your birthday."
"Hey hey hey."
Jiang Ningyue quickly interrupted, "Who is the head reporter? Did you ban me?"
"Hahaha, you're a coward."
Lin Chenxi quipped, "A chef who doesn't want to be a general is not a good tailor!"
"What a mess."
Jiang Ningyue smiled and patted Lin Chenxi, "Li Cheng, you can close your eyes and make a wish. We will sing a happy birthday song for you."
"Happy birthday to you……"
The two smiled and sang to Li Cheng. It was the first time in Li Cheng's life that someone bought him a birthday cake and sang a birthday song. He closed his eyes, but for some reason, tears started to flow.
This dreamlike scene made Li Chengdu feel a little unreal.
Li Cheng wiped his tears and said, "Today is the happiest day of my life."
"You still have a long life ahead of you."
Lin Chenxi smiled and said, "Li Cheng, I've made up my mind. I'll pay for your illness and treat you. But in return, you have to come to work in my company, is that okay?"
Li Cheng was stunned. "What can I do?"
"If you don't know how, then go learn. You're only in your early twenties, and you have at least another twenty or thirty years to live. For the next twenty or thirty years, you'll be working for me! Okay?"
Lin Chenxi spoke with a smile.
Li Cheng was stunned for a few seconds, then he stood up and walked to the open space beside him, knelt down with a plop, and looked at Lin Chenxi with red eyes.
"I'm not well-educated, but I just want to say that from now on, my life, Li Cheng, will be yours. Even if you ask me to kill someone, I won't even frown."
"Hey, hey, you don't have to do that."
Lin Chenxi quickly helped Li Cheng up and said, "We live in a civilized society now, and we are a legitimate company."
Jiang Ningyue covered her face and said nothing, "You raise a death squad?"
After thinking about it, even if it was "judging others by one's own standards", Jiang Ningyue was still ready to give it a try for Lin Chenxi.
"Li Cheng, tell me the truth (be honest), are you serious?"
Li Cheng nodded solemnly, "Although I haven't had much education and dropped out of junior high school, I love reading novels. I particularly like the line, 'The country has nurtured scholars for a hundred and fifty years, and today is the time to die for justice.' If you two ever need me, I'm willing to sacrifice my life!"
