Rebirth of Hong Kong: Rising Era

Chapter 37 Repayment of Debt

Zhang Xueyou was moved again when he listened to Wang Yaodong's words.

After all, there is really no one like Wang Yaodong who can advance so much money to someone he has only met once.

Not long after, Li Fuhai came in with the contract. Jacky Cheung signed his name at the end without even reading the content.

Wang Yaodong silently praised his performance just now.

Zhang Xueyou thought of going home and decided to get the money back early, then stood up and said goodbye to Wang Yaodong.

Wang Yaodong did not stop him, he just reminded with a smile: "Keep your contact information and the company's phone number. The company is already looking for a larger office space. Don't think you ran away if you don't find it next time."

Zhang Xueyou also laughed when he heard this. This was the first time he had laughed since he started.

"Yeah! I understand." After Zhang Xueyou finished speaking, he stood up and left the company.

With a brisk pace, I deposited money into a nearby HSBC store, took out another [-] in cash, and put it into the backpack I bought when I came here.

After doing this, I started on my way home.

Zhang Xueyou returned home. Only his sister was at home. When he saw the chicken brought home by his brother, he was as happy as a swallow in flight.

She has almost forgotten the taste of chicken!

Zhang Xueyou saw his sister's happy look, and a bright smile appeared on his face. He first took out the chicken legs and handed them to her to eat.

"Second brother, those people will come again tomorrow, what should we do!" After finishing the chicken legs, my sister felt depressed again thinking of her last experience.

Zhang Xueyou touched his head and said, "Don't worry, my second brother is here. It's okay. I'll go take a nap first."

After Zhang Xueyou comforted his sister, he laid a wooden board on the floor of the living room and fell asleep.

He basically didn't sleep at all in the past two days because of money matters.

Now that the money problem has been solved, as soon as I relax, I suddenly start to feel sleepy.

"Second brother, do you have lunch at noon?" the younger sister looked at Zhang Xueyou who had just laid down to sleep.

But all she could answer was a snoring sound like a plane taking off.

Seeing this, his sister couldn't help but find it funny, and made him sad again.

How exhausted do you have to be to fall asleep like this?

There is no answer to this question.

Zhang Xueyou woke up again and was awakened by the sound of Zhang's mother cooking.

Zhang's mother had no choice. She only had so much time to cook, and after finishing her cooking, she still had to work part-time. She was really under a lot of pressure.

"Mom, you're back." Zhang Xueyou said, rubbing his eyes.

Mother Zhang nodded and said, "Did I wake you up?"

"No, I slept for a long time, but I woke up from playing." Zhang Xueyou comforted.

When Zhang's mother heard this, she felt better. In fact, she secretly looked at her child every night. Zhang Xueyou basically didn't sleep in the past two days, and she saw it all.

Zhang Xueyou felt uncomfortable looking at his mother who was almost 30 years old despite being only in her 50s.

"Where's your sister?"

Mother Zhang was cooking and said, "She's playing outside. Call her back. She'll be ready to eat soon."

Zhang Xueyou heard this, just said something, and went out to call someone.

When I found her, she was watching other children playing. Because of the situation at home, she felt inferior and didn't dare to go up to play with everyone.

No one really wants to play with her!

"Sister, you can go home for dinner."

Zhang Xueyou's words interrupted his younger sister who was envious of a group of children playing.

She turned her head and saw her second brother, then she smiled and went home with him.At the dinner table, Zhang's mother couldn't help but ask: "Why do you want to buy chicken today?"

Zhang Xueyou was stunned for a moment and said: "Improve the food. Everyone has not eaten meat for a few days."

Mother Zhang didn't say anything after hearing this.

But he just lowered his head to eat without picking up a piece of meat. He didn't know what he was thinking.

After dinner, Zhang's mother went out directly, and her sister neatly put away the dishes.

Seeing that he had nothing to do, Zhang Xueyou followed him to clean up.

……

Soon after, Zhang Xueyou came down and started practicing singing along with the radio. He wanted to go to the stage, and it would be better if he had solid basic skills.

They practiced until around ten o'clock at night. When Zhang's mother returned home, Zhang Xueyou turned off the radio and stopped.

"Why did you suddenly start singing?" Zhang's mother heard it when she returned home and asked in confusion.

Zhang Xueyou thought about it for a moment. He had to find out sooner or later anyway, so he said directly: "I want to quit my previous job. I have signed a contract with another company to become an actor and singer."

Zhang's mother was shocked when she heard what he said. She never expected this. She never thought that one day, she would also be able to see her son on TV.

"I support you in whatever decision you make," Zhang's mother said. This was the last support she could give.

"Well, I will definitely get ahead and let you live a good life." Zhang Xue nodded.

Zhang's mother was still relieved when she heard what he said.

But after looking around, I found that the eldest son was not at home, so I asked, "Isn't your brother home yet?"

"No, I haven't seen him until today." Zhang Xueyou shook his head.

"Okay, I understand, then you go to bed early." After Zhang's mother said that, she went back to her bedroom, lay down and fell asleep first, maybe she was too tired.

Zhang Xueyou went to take a shower, closed the door and went to sleep.

……

The next morning, not long after Zhang Xueyou got up, Huang Mao and several younger brothers came to the door of his house.

The younger sister was so frightened that she hid in Zhang's mother's arms.

Zhang Xueyou was very unhappy when he saw the few people who came so early.

The gangsters like Huang Mao are basically not awake at this early hour. They went out to have fun with their brothers last night and are still awake. They plan to come here to take the money before leaving.

"Bring me the IOU!" Zhang Xueyou said before Huang Mao asked for it.

As a result, Huang Mao could only hold back the cruel words he had not yet said.

Huang Mao didn't care about this matter. Hearing that he could just pay it back if he had the money, he said, "It's fifty-five thousand in total. Here's the money, and you can take the IOU."

Zhang Xue didn't say anything. He turned around and returned home. He took out fifty-five thousand from his backpack and walked out. He raised his hand and held it in front of Huang Mao.

"Refreshing!" After Huang Mao finished speaking, he took out a handful of IOUs from his pocket, found the one belonging to Zhang Xueyou's father, and took it over.

The two of them took it at the same time, and Huang Mao took it with him without any intention of being sloppy.

It's not like the ones on TV where you have to force yourself to add drama.

Zhang Xueyou took one look at the IOU and saw that there was no problem, so he tore it into pieces.

Zhang's mother also reacted and asked Zhang Xueyou: "Where did you get so much money?"

"I made an advance of [-] yuan from the company I signed a contract with, and I guess I haven't received any salary recently." Zhang Xueyou said.

"As long as you don't come from somewhere else, I can still support you." Mother Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.
