Chapter 390 Come Help Me
After learning about what had happened to "I Love Drinking Porridge's" family, Lin Chen immediately took them to Haishi and arranged for his mother to receive treatment at the best hospital.
Fortunately, it was in the middle stage of colorectal cancer, so the cure rate is relatively high.
Jiang Zhouzhou and Lin Chen visited the hospital with flower baskets and fruit.
The first time I met "I Love Porridge", the man was tall and thin, and the fatigue and pressure of many days made his face look more weathered than his peers.
Upon seeing Jiang Zhouzhou and Lin Chen, Qi Yuan stood up awkwardly to greet them: "Brother Chen, Pi... Zhouzhou."
He quickly changed his tune.
Jiang Zhouzhou smiled and said, "Calling it 'preserved egg' is fine too."
After staying in the ward for a while, they realized there were some things they couldn't say in front of their parents, so they went outside to find a place to sit down.
Lin Chen's smile vanished instantly, and he cursed at Qi Yuan, "You bastard, it's one thing to keep something from your family, but to block us all and just disappear like that, you really deserve a beating."
Qi Yuan lowered his head and dared not retort: "I'm sorry, Brother Chen. If beating me can help you vent your anger, then beat me up a few more times."
He really didn't expect that in the end, it would be Zhouzhou and Chenguang who could help him.
In this society, everyone gradually becomes indifferent, and even he himself can hardly be called a good person who respects the elderly and cares for the young.
He used to run a gossip account and had some minor interactions with online celebrities and livestreamers.
When giving gifts, greet them with a smile.
They ran out of money to tip and then turned their backs on us.
It's not fair to say that all people are like this, but eight out of ten are indeed like this.
Moreover, many streamers' personas are carefully crafted. Although he knew in his heart that Pidan wasn't that kind of person, he simply didn't dare to face it...
The only option is to block her after getting a refund, so I don't have to face her disappointment.
Qi Yuan handed an Agricultural Bank of China card to Jiang Zhouzhou and said embarrassedly, "I flattered Brother Gou in the live stream before, and he transferred nearly 100,000 yuan to me. I was so impulsive at the time that I added some money to buy a car. I originally wanted to sell the car to tide me over, but a used car can't be sold so quickly. Now that the car has been sold, I'll pay you back part of the money first."
When someone helps you, it's because they mean well.
But he cannot take it for granted.
Qi Yuan kept this kindness in his heart. Once his mother recovered, he would definitely work hard to pay back the money as soon as possible.
Jiang Zhouzhou didn't take the card, but pushed it towards him: "You need the money urgently right now, so don't rush to pay me back."
Lin Chen added, "That's right, keep the money for yourself first, so you won't find yourself penniless when you urgently need it."
His words were not so subtle, which made Qi Yuan feel ashamed.
"I'm sorry, Pidan. Although you didn't blame me, I still feel bad for you. Don't worry, I will definitely pay you back."
He originally worked in another city, but he was forced to resign because he took too much leave. Once the situation at the hospital stabilizes, he will immediately look for a new job.
Jiang Zhouzhou knew his situation, thought for a moment, and asked him, "Would you like to come to my studio?"
Qi Yuan was stunned, thinking he had misheard.
Jiang Zhouzhou smiled at him: "As you know, my studio has only been established for a short time and we are always short-staffed. You used to work in the online field. If possible, could you come and help me?"
Qi Yuan then came to his senses and stammered, "I...can I do it?"
Seeing his lack of confidence, Jiang Zhouzhou gave him a trusting look: "Of course you can do it! When my fan group was growing, you were the one who managed it so well. When marketing accounts spread rumors and slandered me, you were the one who maintained order among the fans and took the lead in defending me. Sometimes when fans of other streamers got into arguments, you were the one who calmed everyone down."
"Qi Yuan, you are a great administrator, and everyone recognizes you as a leader in your career."
Hearing her words, Qi Yuan's eyes gradually reddened.
People like him, from the bottom of society, once had a passionate and ambitious spirit, but after years of relentless suppression, they have long lost the will to strive for upward mobility.
The first lesson you learn when you enter society is to accept your mediocrity.
It's been a long time since I've heard words of encouragement like "You're great."
Jiang Zhouzhou looked at him with bright eyes: "Besides, my studio has just been established. If I hire people I don't know anything about to help me, I wouldn't know if they were lying to me behind my back. But if it's you, it's different..."
Qi Yuan opened his mouth: "But..."
The word "guilt" made him unable to look Jiang Zhouzhou in the eye: "But I betrayed you."
Jiang Zhouzhou blinked, realizing that the "betrayal" Qi Yuan was referring to was the refund and being blocked.
She slightly raised the corners of her lips and said to him, "That's not betrayal."
"I've seen a lot of questions about choices online before. If there's an earthquake and you can only take three items from the options, what would you choose?"
"Among the options, there are: Dad, Mom, Spouse, Children, Billionaire, Pet..."
The question is very unrealistic, but many people in the comments section are making choices seriously.
The other options had varying percentages, but the option for "mother" accounted for almost 99%.
The most liked comment: Even if only one person can be saved, it has to be the mother.
“When Mom appears alongside other options, then it’s not a multiple-choice question, but a mandatory one.”
Jiang Zhouzhou has a shallow family bond, but she greatly admires this kind of loving family.
“You don’t need to feel guilty towards me. If you delay your mother’s treatment by not refunding her money because of your pride and face, then that’s what you should feel guilty about.”
Lin Chen stared straight at her; he had always known that Zhouzhou was gentle and kind.
But in her words, he felt for the first time the power conveyed in her speech.
Qi Yuan, too, stopped being coy and refused.
A relieved smile appeared on his face, the first one he'd shown in days: "Don't worry, I'll definitely help you. Remember to use your salary to pay off my debts."
