Li Xiao is stubborn, and she is determined to do things well. Even if her income is negative, she must investigate the truth about the "paper mill". So, during that time, she ran around the countryside, suffered a lot, and lost a lot of weight. Her friends did not understand her approach, and after healed, they formally proposed to break up with her and go to big cities to seek development opportunities.

After hearing the true thoughts of her friend, Li Xiao felt heartbroken, but she was not too desperate, because this was the expected result. Since the day she decided to stop the update, the relationship between the two was in danger. She once told Tong Tong that "Tao is different and does not work together", but at this time she understood what it means to be the real "Tao is different".

The friend's intention to leave was decided, and Li Xiao held back her tears, did not force her to stay, and said goodbye to him casually. The two worked together for more than a month, and they didn't even last until the settlement of each platform, so they hurriedly parted ways. During this period, Li Xiao has put in two efforts from the topic selection to interviews to writing articles, but during the settlement, she still divided her meager income into two and gave half of the friend. The remaining money was not enough to pay the rent.

After Li Xiao returned from the countryside, she ate cheap spicy hot pot with Hao Mengyuan. Thinking of her suffering, Hao Mengyuan wanted to treat her to something delicious, but Li Xiao was reluctant to let her go. She said with a bitter face that she might not even be able to afford the spicy hot pot. After Hao Mengyuan's questioning, Li Xiao told her about her financial situation. It turned out that most of her savings over the years were used as registered capital, and there was still a small part left to support her to rent the dilapidated office. In fact, with her own strength, it was not enough to pay the rent, and the friend also contributed part of it. When her friend proposed to break up, Li Xiao planned to return his rent to him. But she was short of money and now she couldn't even afford the rent for the house. I don't know when she could return the money to others. It was really hard to move without money, and she had reached the end of her journey.

Hao Mengyuan said sympathetically: "It seems that Zhang Yaoyao did say something human at the beginning."

"Hmm? He can still speak human language?"

"He said that every person who starts a business has thought of committing suicide at least five times."

"Haha, this is indeed a human word." Li Xiao smiled bitterly: "I'm not at the point of committing suicide, but I'm really desperate. I just called my elder sister and second sister. They can support me for a few thousand dollars and let me get through the difficulties for the time being."

What is the temporary difficulty? Even if she writes out the paper mill incident in a complete manner, what reward can she get? She can't get anything. She works completely with her passion and has hardly considered her livelihood. For a long time, her financial situation was only short of money.

But even so, she was still very strong. She just lowered her head and ate spicy hot pot, and refused to easily ask for money from her good friends.

When they returned home, the two said good night and returned to their room. Li Xiao was anxiously browsing her cell phone, but the eldest and second sisters did not transfer the money to her. If she urged her again, the sisters would definitely complain to her, telling her that her own difficulties and asked her to wait a little longer. Anyway, this situation is not once or twice, and Li Xiao is familiar with this feeling of disappointment. As soon as she threw her cell phone at the head of the bed, a message suddenly came, and her Alipay account actually had 10,000 yuan more.

The person who transferred money to her was called "Hao Quanquan".

Li Xiao burst into tears in an instant. It turned out that his family was really not as sorry as his friends. She hurriedly wiped away her tears, and did not knock on the door, and directly opened Hao Mengyuan's door and hugged her good friend tightly. "Mengyuan, thank you so much."

"Ah~ You discovered it so soon? I still want to hide it from you." Hao Mengyuan said: "You don't lend money to me, but I take the initiative to give you money. I'm still worried that you won't accept it."

Hao Mengyuan was obviously the one who helped her, but she still carefully cared for her self-esteem. Li Xiao was even more moved and said, "To be honest, I have no shame to borrow money from you."

"We have been in love for almost ten years, so stop saying those polite words. I desperately hope that you can succeed sooner and become successful, so that I will follow you to heaven."

Li Xiao was amused by her again.

That night, the two of them fell asleep on the same bed for a long time. During college, whenever they encountered sad or troubles, they often kept warm with each other in the same bed. After so many years, they rarely acted so intimately. Hao Mengyuan joked that she was young at that time and didn't feel awkward at all. But now they were lying together, it was really embarrassing.

Li Xiao said: "I thought you were a serious person, but your thoughts were not pure."

The two of them laughed together.

Hao Mengyuan's salary is considered to be above average, she spends very little and has little financial pressure, but she has good living habits and never spends money indiscriminately. She plans to buy a house with her own savings before she is thirty, so Li Xiao doesn't have to rush to pay her back as long as she is not yet thirty.

"Teacher Hao, you don't have to be so considerate... I am really touched when you are so considerate."

Hao Mengyuan yawned and was already sleepy. Li Xiao kept chattering: "You bought a house at the age of 30? I thought you had been married in the past two years. I am full of fear of marriage, and there is a high probability that I will not get married. But you are different. You have such good conditions, don't make yourself an old girl."

"I don't even have a partner, who should I marry? For girls, it's better to buy a house with my own efforts... In this way, even if the marriage is not happy, I will have the confidence to live a good life."

Li Xiao originally wanted to ask her and Tong Tong because to outsiders, they do look too much like a couple. But Hao Mengyuan said so firmly, that means they have no chance for the time being, right?

Li Xiao had many thoughts, and she forced herself to shake her head and free herself from those thoughts. Because those thoughts are the real "thinking".

In early August, Hao Mengyuan was going to go on a business trip to the Northwest. Hong Kongcheng University and a border university are sister schools. Hong Kong University sends teachers to support that university every year. Hao Mengyuan has been transferred to the school’s Youth League Committee and she has to follow the leader to write a press release. It took more than a week to go there, and Li Xiao will stay alone in the empty bedroom again. Hao Mengyuan joked: "If the epidemic suddenly breaks out and I am trapped there, it will be normal for us to separate for several months."

"...Don't say that, okay?" Li Xiao covered his good friend's mouth: "Isn't there a proverb? What he said will become a seed and will bear fruit after a while. It is best not to cultivate this kind of crow's mouth."

I don’t know if Tong Tong had the same worries. Before Hao Mengyuan set off, he held a banquet to show off her. Tong Tong didn’t call her many people, except Sun Jixiang, but two girls. He chose the location at Sun Chengcai’s barbecue restaurant, because that restaurant was the no.1. The summer is getting deeper and deeper. In the evening, it is hard to find a barbecue. If Tong Tong hadn’t “going to the back door”, they would have to line up for a long time.

Li Xiao spoke rude to Tong Tong at the opening party of "Tiping Mang". Sun Jixiang kept remembering this hatred, so he had no good expression on Li Xiao. Tong Tong poked him secretly a few times and almost said with his lips, "Don't care so much, big men," but Sun Jixiang said: "Why can't the big men care about it?"

...

Tong Tong was speechless.

Sun Jixiang had a cold face, but was full of enthusiasm for the skewers. He seemed to be a cold barbecue crusher. His friends stared at his eating habits blankly. Li Xiao sneered: "You really can't behave like a person. Who would have expected that this person is so thin and has a very good appetite."

Sun Jixiang responded mercilessly: "It's true. Who would have expected that this woman looks OK, but she has a vicious mouth."

...

In order to prevent the two from fighting, Tong Tong almost asked them to sit at two tables. Unfortunately, the barbecue restaurant business is so popular, it would be nice to have a seat to sit.

Tong Tong always cared about "Sparkling Fire", and didn't know when Li Xiao would be able to update. He hesitated and said, "Is there any news from the person who threatened you?"

"No, the police told me at that time that it was difficult to check, so I was patient."

"Actually... I think a person is suspicious."

Hearing this, everyone was in a state of mind. Tong Tong said, "I'm afraid you're so concerned, so I dare not say it. After all, I'm just suspicious. Without sufficient evidence, saying it will only make you more confused."

Sun Jixiang said, "It can't be Zhang Yaoyao?"

Tong Tong felt a "kick" in his heart, and his expression had already betrayed him. At the charity party that day, Zhang Yaoyao accidentally let it go. Tong Tong continued to ask, but he ran away. The more Tong Tong thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Zhang Yaoyao had sufficient reason to retaliate against Li Xiao, and he was in Hong Kong City and it was easy to grasp Li Xiao's whereabouts. In addition, he was in Hong Kong City, and he was in misconduct, so he was very likely to retaliate against Li Xiao.

Li Xiao was calmer than he imagined: "If it was him, then I really couldn't do anything to him. But I won't give up. The more he revenge he took, the more I became more and more excited."

Everyone immediately looked at her with admiration.

Tong Tong provided her with a new idea: "You can investigate his mother, a chief physician with a first degree in college. Over the years of being a doctor, she has not published any academic achievements alone, and she is not able to complete a surgery alone. Even the most basic minimally invasive surgery can fail. There are countless patients complaining about her, but she is still in the hospital. You can imagine how strong the background of this person is and how many people's health has harmed."

Sun Jixiang interrupted: "She is not good at medical skills and has poor medical ethics. I can prove this, after all, I am the most direct victim. If you are willing to mess with him, I will consider it and maybe I can provide you with some materials."

Tong Tong poked him a few more times and corrected: "It's not about 'doing', it's about exposing and exposing it! What Li Da reporter does is just a matter of justice, not retaliation."
