chapter 23 debt repayment

Before it was about Fang Yuan and my own promotion opportunities, I carefully weighed them in my mind. In fact, I was fine, mainly because of Wesley. If I could really be promoted to the deputy manager of the planning department, my salary and status in the company would be better. A qualitative leap and a bright future. "Maxwell, if you can't handle this matter, I'll ask Wesley to come back and take care of it. Don't let him take any of his wedding leave."Kyle looked at me with a forced expression and said. "No, I can't handle the manager, let alone him. He's not familiar with that graphic model." Kyle softened his tone and said to me: "Actually, the entry contract will be signed soon. According to my guess, the incident of i's borrowing the model will finally test our company's sincerity in cooperation. Even if there is no such incident, It is estimated that other emergencies will also occur. Whether i will eventually open a counter in our department store is not only related to the interests of the company, but also the interests of our planning department, including yourself, so no matter what you think of, you must help the company get through it. This is the last hurdle.” After weighing it in my mind for a long time, I finally nodded and said, "I'll do my best." "It's not enough to try your best. It must be done. You have to promise me this."Kyle adjusted his glasses, and there was no room for negotiation in his tone. This matter must be done regardless of whether it is successful or not. Now I can only hope that Maya can be free. After weighing it repeatedly, I nodded and said: "I will definitely accomplish this matter." Kyle finally let out a sigh of relief and said, "That's great." I thought to myself: "You're good, I have to be shameless to beg a woman I least want to beg. Do you fucking know?" When I was about to exit, Kyle stopped me again: "Maxwell, don't call that graphic model yet. Isn't she filming in Hengdian? You go directly to Hengdian tomorrow. You rushed all the way to tell her in person. This matter is not so easy for her to refuse." "The manager is thoughtful and wise," I forced a smile and said, but how could I look at him? Why did he feel like a shameless old fox? He did it in such a desperate manner. I thought that if other people's schedules are not available, it would be difficult to refuse. Yes How do you feel? This evening after work, I was sitting on the bus going back, feeling irritated. The source of the irritability was that I was going to Hengdian to see Maya tomorrow, and tonight I had to move out of the house I had lived in for two years. The irritability turned into frustration. I never seemed to be able to decide my own life. My love, work and life were often shattered by other people's words, such as Emily, the female representative of i, and Penelope. Returning to the old house, I subconsciously looked at Penelope's room. Her door was still closed, and she might not have gone home yet. Whether she comes home or not has nothing to do with me. All I have to do now is keep my promise and move out of this house forever. I went back to my room and packed my luggage again. In fact, I had almost packed it yesterday. I just packed some supplies on the bed and everything was packed. After packing up my things, I turned on my computer and looked for houses in the same city that I could move in right away. I found a few that met the requirements, but all of them required half a year's rent and three months' rent deposit. In total, I had to prepare at least 10,000 yuan. I suddenly had a problem with the rent of RMB 10,000. I only have a few thousand yuan left with me now. Last month’s salary will not be paid until the day after tomorrow. Even if it is paid, I can’t use it all to pay the rent. I have to pay it all. Leave some for living expenses. In desperation, I had to lower my requirements and start looking for a house that could be rented together with a relatively low rent. Time passed by so quietly, and when I came back to my senses, the city was already lit up with thousands of lights at night. I wiped my face heavily to relieve the fatigue from working on the computer for a long time. After taking a rest, I still have to find a place to live. I can't really live on the streets. I'm already down and out. Looking out the window blankly, my soul was once again lonely in the lights of thousands of houses. At this moment, I really longed to have a house of my own in this city where I have lived for more than two years, with a woman waiting for me to come home every day. , bid farewell to no fixed place, bid farewell to the loneliness at night, bid farewell to the sadness of living After a while, the sound of the door opening came from outside the house, and I knew it was Penelope who was back, but at this moment I could face her with peace of mind, because I finally did not break my promise to her, and I would move out of here later. Penelope was holding her handbag and standing at the door of my room wearing the slippers she had just changed into. She looked at the packed luggage and asked me, "Have you found the house yet?" "Don't worry, I'll move out tonight regardless of whether you can find her or not." I replied, subconsciously feeling that Penelope would like this answer very much. "Oh."Penelope responded, but did not leave. He asked me as if he was remembering something for a moment: "You said you bought some insecticide powder to sprinkle in the bathroom today, did you buy it?" Compared to buying insecticide powder and moving, being forced by the boss to go to Hengdian to find Maya was too trivial, so I really ignored it. I apologized and said to Penelope: "Sorry, I forgot. You can buy some yourself. If you don't want to run away, you can also buy them online. It's very convenient." Penelope's expression became unhappy: "This is what you promised me, why are you so irresponsible?" Today I have been depressed all day. I haven’t found a house to live in yet. How can I be in a better mood? My tone became serious: "Can you make a living out of your sense of responsibility? Do you bother me if you mention this to me every day?" Penelope didn't expect that my reaction would be so violent. She was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said to me, "Okay, just pay back the money you owe me. I don't have to be responsible to you." I was speechless for a long time, and once again fell into the sorrow of having no money. After a long time, I said in a slightly lower voice: "You said that as long as I move out, I can repay the money I borrowed from you without any rush." "Who cares about you? It's natural to pay back debts."Penelope said to me with a cold face. "After all, we have lived under the same roof for several days. Is it necessary to drive me to a dead end like this?" I said with my head buried in my heart, not knowing what it felt like. Penelope smiled disdainfully and said, "I didn't push you to a dead end. You have been working for many years. Why don't you have any savings? You should understand. The person who drove you to a dead end is you." Penelope's words ruthlessly revealed the most painful scar deep in my heart. For a moment, I felt ashamed and ashamed. At a loss, I saw the guitar that I stood in the corner. This guitar was specially made by Emily in the piano workshop for my birthday, and then was given to me as a birthday gift. It used all the Very good material, worth far more than 10,000. Looking at this guitar, I once again experienced the sadness of things changing. I stood up and brought the guitar to Penelope, handed it to her and said, "This guitar is for you to pay off your debt. If you sell it to a knowledgeable person, it will definitely cost more than 10,000." Before Penelope could express whether he agreed to use the guitar to pay off the debt, I was already carrying my luggage, not even daring to take another look at the house, and walked out of the house with my head lowered.
