I finished my work at noon and it was already past twelve o'clock.
After the domineering woman left, she never came back.
However... Chen Nan's complaint against the woman was full of... faint expectations.
To be more precise, I am full of expectations for the rewards!
Chen Nan got up, put these cupping bottles, moxibustion jars... and after carefully cleaning the medical supplies, put them in the cabinet, and put the used acupuncture needles into the yellow medical trash can specially designed to hold needles.
As the woman said, he, Chen Nan, is just an ordinary doctor, and he needs to do all these things personally.
After finishing his work, Chen Nan took off his white coat, stretched his arms, and moved his muscles.
A night shift plus a morning of treatment made him a little tired.
However, I am quite happy.
There are many patients this morning, fifteen.
The treatment fee varies for each person, with an average of 150 yuan, which is 2250 yuan.
I get 15% of the treatment fee, which means I get 337.5 yuan!
By the end of this month, the total number may be more than 10,000, right?
Thinking of this, Chen Nan couldn't help but smile.
However, this smile soon turned into a bitter smile.
Ten thousand yuan is just a drop in the bucket!
Chen Nan looked at himself in the mirror, a little tired. He rubbed his face with both hands, then cheered up, waved his fist, and shouted loudly: "Come on, come on!"
…
On the bus, Chen Nan felt sleepy and took a nap.
There were not many people in the car, and the sound of the car TV rang in my ears.
"Annan Pharmaceuticals, a well-known company in our city, was acquired by Xiling Pharmaceuticals... Chen Jinhe, a famous entrepreneur, will face a debt problem of nearly tens of millions."
"Professor Yang, why do you think Chen Jinhe didn't choose to go bankrupt? In this way, his debts will be greatly reduced!"
Professor Yang: “Because after bankruptcy, reorganization is inevitable!
This can have a serious negative impact on the business itself.
A company's application for bankruptcy reorganization indicates that the company's operating conditions are poor and may shake the confidence of its suppliers, customers and even employees.
In addition, the company's image among consumers may be shaken. How to win the trust of consumers after bankruptcy and reorganization is a real problem."
"I guess the most important reason why Mr. Chen Jinhe chose to sell Annan Pharmaceuticals is that he did not want to cause the unemployment of more than 300 employees due to his debt disputes, and at the same time affect the brand value of Annan Pharmaceuticals."
"After all... some of Annan Pharmaceutical's drugs have received good feedback from the market. If they are acquired by Xiling Pharmaceutical Company, they can increase investment. In essence, it will not have much impact."
"However, in this case, these debts will need to be borne by Chen Jinhe!"
"At this point, I have to say that Mr. Chen Jinhe is an entrepreneur with conscience and responsibility. I believe he has the ability to make a comeback!"
…
Sitting on the bus, Chen Nan looked up at the TV screen, feeling a little silent.
A conscientious entrepreneur...
Make a comeback...
hehe!
Chen Nan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Now that my mother is ill in bed and can't even pay for medical expenses, why are we talking about making a comeback?!
That’s a fucking thirty or forty million!
Thinking of this, Chen Nan's nose flaps flapped and his breathing became a little short.
The bus stopped and went for a full hour and a half, from the center of Yuancheng City to the southern suburbs.
Since the incident at Annan Pharmaceutical, Chen Nan's family has moved from the most luxurious villa area in Yuancheng City to an old house in the southern suburbs.
I sold all the valuable things in my house that could be sold and that couldn’t be sold!
As of now, I still owe more than five million.
"The terminal station, Southern Suburb Station, has arrived..."
As the bus arrival reminder sounded, Chen Nan got off the bus with her schoolbag on her back.
Compared to the high-rise buildings and busy traffic in the city, the tallest building here only has six floors, and you can still see patches of cornfields in the distance.
It's better to say it's a suburb than a village.
After walking for about ten minutes, Chen Nan arrived home.
This is a bungalow built with blue bricks and red tiles. The yard is large and very old. My grandfather has not lived in this house since his death.
But at this time, there were several Mercedes-Benz and Land Rovers parked at the gate.
Chen Nan frowned slightly when he saw this, he was probably here to demand payment again!
…
The living room was filled with smoke and fireworks, and five middle-aged men were sitting on chairs smoking cigarettes.
"Old Chen, I have been an old friend for so many years, and I actually don't want to come, but...it's hard to do business now, and the price of raw materials has increased, and there's nothing I can do about it!"
"Um……"
"Old Chen, I believe in your character, and I won't force you. Just give me a word and how long it will take to settle the matter. If you give me a word, I'll leave now." Chen Nan knew the man who spoke, his name was Zhao Houcai, and he
For the business of raw materials for traditional Chinese medicine, I often come to my home on weekdays.
Chen Nan looked at his father Chen Jinhe through the window. At this time, he was no longer as energetic as before. His beard had grown in size after not shaving for a long time. His face was full of tiredness. He looked a little depressed, but his eyes were still very calm.
.
At this time, Chen Jinhe put out his cigarette, looked up at everyone, and said:
"Everyone who came today can't come in vain."
“I definitely won’t be able to get the money out, but if I didn’t plan to pay it back, I would have filed for bankruptcy long ago!
Since I, Chen Jinhe, said I would repay the debt, I must have never thought of escaping!"
"Give me one year. After one year, I will pay off all the principal and interest."
"My wife is not in good health right now. Please understand and help her. Let him see that there are so many debts to pay at home. He feels heavy burden and is not good for his health."
"Everyone, please go back first."
…
Chen Nan did not enter the living room, but went directly to the west room, which used to be grandpa's room. There were medical books in it. Chen Nan put down his schoolbag and watched through the window as everyone started the car and left.
In the evening, Chen Jinhe cooked a table of meals.
Five meats, three vegetables, and one soup.
Rare luxury.
After the company was sold, the family never sat down for a proper meal, let alone such a sumptuous meal.
At night, in the yard.
A family of three sat down.
Chen Jinhe took out a few bottles of liquor, got a cup for Chen Nan, and asked, "Can I have some?"
Chen Nan felt that his father had something to say, so he nodded: "Yes."
Chen Jinhe smiled, filled Chen Nan's bowl, and then poured it for himself.
At this time, a middle-aged woman walked out of the room, her face looked a little haggard, and she walked lightly.
"Mom, are you okay?"
Chen Wenyin smiled: "It's okay, it's an old problem. I've been exhausted after starting a business with your dad for all these years. Your dad is the shopkeeper, and I, a soldier, have to break my legs!"
"It's good to have a good rest during this period."
"Let's eat. Your dad worked hard to cook and made so many delicious foods. You can have some drinks with your dad."
Chen Jinhe couldn't help but smile.
Chen Nan could tell that Chen Jinhe must have something to say.
When eating, it was very warm and harmonious.
Chen Wenyin kept picking up food for Chen Jinhe and Chen Nan. She didn't eat much, and there was an indescribable feeling in her eyes.
Chen Jinhe drank quickly. When Chen Nan drank one glass, he had already finished two glasses of wine.
The wine is not good, but the love is sincere.
Chen Jinhe was originally a very picky wine person, and his family collected a lot of expensive wines.
Unfortunately, they were all sold, and at a good price.
But today, one glass of wine costing tens of dollars was worth one glass after another. Maybe he was not drinking wine at this time.
Suddenly, Chen Jinhe raised his glass, filled it with wine, and said solemnly to Chen Nan:
"Son, daddy would like to toast you this glass of wine."
Chen Nan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then raised the cup numbly.
"I'll leave tomorrow..."
"I would like to toast you with this glass. I hope that during my absence this year, I can take on the responsibilities of the family and take good care of your mother!"
After saying that, Chen Jinhe drank it all in one gulp. This was not a small wine glass, but a tea cup.
However, after finishing the cup, Chen Jinhe continued to refill it!
"I'd like to toast your mother for this drink. She can't drink, so you drink instead. I feel sorry for your mother. After so many years of ups and downs, she still stayed with me at the last moment and supported my choice. I'm tired of it!"
Still feeling stuffy, keep filling it up!
"I respect you for this glass, son. I hope you can understand what my father has done. I also wish you the best in your life, what you should do and what you should not do!"
A true man stands between heaven and earth, he should cultivate the majestic spirit of heaven and earth, and do things that are upright and aboveboard!"
Chen Jinhe drank three glasses in a row, obviously drinking too much.
The moonlight shines on his face, and you can see the drunkenness.
This once gentle man now had his collar open, his eyes blazing, and his beard that had not been shaved for a long time added a bit of heroism.
It's just...you can still see tears in those eyes, which is his tenderness.
…
Chen Jinhe drank too much and said a lot of drunken words.
However, Chen Nan could tell that these were his father's innermost thoughts.
"Son, dad is incompetent!"
"Not only did I leave nothing for you, but I also encountered some troubles!"
"Wife, I can't help you!"
"I have suffered so much these years, but I didn't expect that after traveling so far, I haven't had time to enjoy the blessings, but I owe a lot of debt!"
…
…
When Chen Wenyin went to clear away the dishes, Chen Jinhe and Chen Nan were lying on the stone benches at the entrance, leaning against the wall, half lying and half sitting.
Both of them drank too much.
"How long will it take?"
"One year."
"Where to go?"
"USA!"
Chen Nan hesitated for a long time: "Call me if you don't have money... It's not easy to go out. The United States is no better than home."
Chen Jinhe chuckled, feeling pleased in his heart: "Your father and I are short of money?"
After saying that, he took out a card from his pocket: "There is not much money in the card, 20,000 yuan, take it and take care of your mother!"
"I'm not here, and neither is your brother. You are the backbone of the family."
Chen Nan nodded: "No, my salary has been increased."
"Brother's tuition...don't worry, I will find a way."
Chen Jinhe couldn't help but smile and said nothing...
Chen Nan stared at Chen Jinhe for a long time and suddenly said:
"Dad, I have grown up."
"You can rely on it."
One sentence made Chen Jinhe turn his head directly, but... he burst into tears.
…
The next day, Chen Jinhe got up early and left. Chen Nan was really exhausted from drinking too much and working the night shift, and it was already morning when he woke up.
Before leaving, Chen Jinhe made breakfast.
A note was placed next to Chen Nan's bed:
"Chen Nan, live your life like a human being!"
“Let’s show those who look down on us that our Chen family are not cowards, and we will take back everything we lose!
Remember, you can endure hardships and endure hardships, no matter how wind blows from east to west, north or south!"
Chen Nan couldn't help laughing when he saw the note.
And this time!
Chen Jinhe has arrived at the airport.
However, when he went through the security check and opened his schoolbag, he saw a stack of money, more than 30,000 yuan, and a note.
"Dad, whether you are doing well or not, remember to go home."
