Chapter 154: Bankruptcy
After running alone for more than half an hour and burning off several hundred calories, Zhou Anan returned to the room after sweating a little, and found that the girl had not gotten up yet.
After taking a shower, Zhou Anan looked at the sleeping girl, went to the side, called room service, and asked the waiter to bring breakfast.
Of course, this is a free service for the premium suites.
As for the double room for others at 80 yuan a night, the breakfast coupon is already a group purchase discount.
"morning."
Waking up by the smell of food, Shi Mingxia looked at the boy eating breakfast not far away and greeted him with a smile.
"Would you like to eat something before going to bed?"
Walking over and hugging the beautiful girl, Zhou Anan asked with a smile.
It was indeed a lot of fun last night, but he was a little exhausted.
"I'm going to get up too."
Seeing that it was almost half past nine, Shi Mingxia held down the mischievous hand in front of him, kissed the boy on the face, and went to the bathroom in his pajamas.
After a sweet breakfast, according to the previously planned itinerary, Zhou Anan first took everyone to visit Guodong, and then found a self-service barbecue stall at the foot of the mountain for lunch.
Fifteen dollars per person, unlimited food, drinks are charged separately.
However, Zhou Anan obviously overestimated the girl's hands-on ability.
"I can't bake here, someone come and help me."
"So that's how it is done, An An, thank you."
Zhou Anan easily solved a small problem of a vent not being open.
"An An, why am I not familiar with this place?"
"An An, how do you roast corn?"
"An An, how can I bake this without it getting burnt?"
…
After showing off his barbecue skills, Zhou Anan found himself overwhelmed and the screen was full of shouting.
Those boys who only care about eating have absolutely no hands-on ability.
There is no other way, those who are capable should work harder.
In the end, Zhou Anan could only merge two barbecue grills and become a free barbecue stall chef.
Everyone's request was met, but Zhou Anan didn't want to continue and didn't even have the appetite to eat.
When he was grilling, he had no time to use his hands, so the girls brought the food to his mouth.
The dog food all over the floor made the students around him look down on him.
After having a good meal and a drink, Zhou Anan got off the bus at her hometown, Lizhou, on the way back to Lucheng in the afternoon.
It’s not that he didn’t want to continue spending his vacation with the beauty, but he received a phone call and had to deal with it.
"How much?"
When seeing her cousin, Zhou Anan frowned and looked at the unkempt boy, who completely lacked the vigor of youth.
During the Chinese New Year, although his cousin was not very talkative, he was still very energetic.
If you don't seek death, you won't die.
"One thousand and five."
Hearing his cousin's calm tone, Zhou Shun, who had never been afraid of his cousin since childhood, trembled in his heart and lowered his head to say a number.
"Which arcade?"
With a raised eyebrow, Zhou Anan's voice became a little low.
"The arcade on Jiefang Street."
Zhou Shun lowered his head even more, and his voice became a little softer.
For the first time, he felt a strange kind of majesty in front of his cousin.
"Your parents don't know yet, right?"
"have no idea."
"How much did you lose before?"
"One thousand dollars."
"All of it? Tell me the truth."
"Sixteen thousand."
Looking at his cousin who was over 1.7 meters tall and looked a little hunched, Zhou Anan felt like he was disappointed in his cousin.
Although he and his cousin had never had a good relationship, they were family after all. Zhou Anan couldn't just ignore what was happening to him.
Two or three thousand yuan is a small matter for him.
However, the problems that arise from this may very likely ruin this cousin.
"I'll help you pay the money back, take me to see it."
After saying something that wasn't really comforting, Zhou Anan picked up her cell phone, walked to the side and called a primary school classmate.
After chatting for a few words, Zhou Anan took a taxi with her cousin to Jiefang Street.
Jiefang Street, which will be demolished in a few years, has several decades of history. It is old, but it is still a prosperous street.
In a small alley downhill, there is a large game room.
As I walked into the mottled iron gate, I heard a burst of noise. The hall of more than 500 square meters was filled with various game consoles. There were one or two teenagers sitting in front of almost every machine, including some girls.
A large group of people gathered in front of several Panda machines. From time to time, there were exclamations and the sound of coins colliding.
"What game do you play?"
Looking at his cousin whose eyes brightened, Zhou Anan asked coldly.
There is no way this could happen only once.
"Inside."
As they were talking, Zhou Shun led his cousin through a small door with familiarity and entered a room with a thick curtain at the door.
As soon as she entered the room, Zhou Anan saw two rows of large networked game consoles. A group of young people in their twenties were sitting in front of the machines, including some middle-aged people in their thirties and forties. There were many more people watching than placing bets.
From time to time, these people cheered and groaned.
"boss."
Seeing the middle-aged man who was finishing the points for a bettor, Zhou Shun shouted in a low voice.
"Ah Shun is here."
He took a look at the young man in front of him. Although the man next to him was a little shorter, the middle-aged boss knew that the other party was the elder of the young man.
You can tell the age at a glance.
"Boss, this is the money Zhou Shun owes."
Zhou Anan took out fifteen hundred yuan from her wallet and handed it to the other party.
You have to accept the loss if you lose the bet. Since Zhou Shun lost money here, he can't owe it anymore.
"good."
After taking the money and counting it, the middle-aged man nodded and said nothing.
In this line of work, the middle-aged man has seen many parents causing trouble, and he knows how to deal with it.
With such gentle parents, there is less trouble.
"Give me a thousand."
Instead of taking his cousin away immediately, Zhou Anan found a bettor who bet a few dollars, handed him two hundred dollars and asked for the other party's total bet amount of only a few dozen dollars, and then asked the boss to increase the points.
"elder brother."
Seeing his cousin was about to sit down and play, Zhou Shun quickly pulled him back.
Although he is addicted to this game, it doesn't mean he doesn't know the harm. He can't let himself harm his cousin, otherwise his uncle will have to teach him a lesson.
Besides, why don’t we just wait a while? Why do we have to pay that person 200 yuan to buy a seat?
"Why, you can play but I can't."
With a smile, Zhou Anan gave the money to the boss.
In his previous life, Zhou Anan, who was still a temporary worker in the company, was also addicted to this large panda machine for a while. He even overdrew 17,000 to 18,000 yuan from his credit card. In the end, he stopped after being reminded by someone and stopped his depravity in time.
Sometimes when I think back on it, I feel a little scared.
Sometimes, reason can't overcome the strong desire to win.
Just think about how many billionaires in Lizhou will go bankrupt overnight in a few years.
He knew that words alone would not be enough to dissuade his cousin.
One thousand six hundred yuan must be all the money my cousin saved from the Chinese New Year red envelopes, and he may even have borrowed some from friends.
Adding the 1,500 yuan he owed, the total was 3,100 yuan, which was definitely a huge sum of money for a 16-year-old boy without any job.
You know, nowadays civil servants only earn a little over 2,000 yuan a month, and my uncle who drives a tractor to transport stones only makes 200 to 300 yuan a day, and that's because his father, one of the shareholders of the quarry, takes care of him.
But my uncle had to take care of the expenses of a family of three, and he didn't have much spare money.
Zhou Shun lost the 3,100 yuan in just three hours.
If she hadn't called him in time and asked him to help pay off the debt quietly, Zhou Anan couldn't imagine what would happen next.
No wonder I heard my mother complaining during the Chinese New Year that my cousin was not interested in a salary of 80 yuan a day, and he was a lazy guy who worked hard for three days and rested for two days.
I guess my cousin became fascinated with this at that time.
A small fight turned into a win or loss of hundreds of dollars in a few seconds, and finally the whole family was stuck in the mud and went bankrupt.
There are many such scenes in real life.
Fortunately, it was discovered early. If some people owed hundreds of thousands of dollars, my uncle's family and their family would not have peace.
There is no way. If anything happens in my uncle's family, Zhou Anan's father, who always treats his elder brother like a father, will definitely take responsibility for it. No matter how easy-going my mother is, she won't agree.
Thinking about many future possibilities in his mind, Zhou Anan immediately reduced the score of one thousand yuan by most of it, leaving his cousin next to him no chance to stop him.
