Chapter 40
So Much?
After hearing the boss’s words, Chen Che and Lin Xi’s expressions changed.
“Do you know where they are now?” Chen Che asked.
“Most likely they have gone home. I don’t think they can open this shop anymore,” the boss replied.
“Where is their house?” Lin Xi hurriedly asked.
The boss shook his head to indicate that he didn’t know. Then, he looked at Chen Che. “You’re the boy in the video, right?”
“Yes.” Chen Che nodded.
“To be honest, the reason why he didn’t post the video personally was because he was afraid of causing trouble. In the end, he still couldn’t hide.”
“He helped you, but he harmed himself in the process. If you encounter him in the future, you have to thank him properly.”
“Alright, leave quickly. Don’t bring me any more trouble.”
Upon hearing the boss’s order to leave, Chen Che and Lin Xi did not dawdle and turned to leave.
After leaving the house, Chen Che and Lin Xi were not in a good mood. After being told off by the middle-aged boss, they felt very guilty.
“Sigh, it’s all my fault. If I had known earlier, I would have edited the video,” Lin Xi said.
“It’s not your fault. No matter how the video is processed, the location of this shop can’t be changed.” Chen Che comforted her and continued, “Since he has chosen to hide, we shouldn’t disturb him.”
“Uncle was right just now. We can only look forward to meeting again. I believe that we will be fated.”
Lin Xi nodded. “The person who did it was really too much. Not only did they slander you, but they also hurt a good person.”
“Don’t worry, they won’t have a good ending.” Chen Che cursed and said, “Alright, let’s go eat.”
Seeing this, the netizens were also furious.
[These b*stards are really hateful. They didn’t manage to defame Chen Che and then took revenge on the shop owner?]
[Yeah, damn it, who is so disgusting?]
[I curse this kind of person to have no sexual desires when giving birth!]
[Chen Che is right. This kind of person will not have good karma. He will be killed by a car when he goes out!]
…
The Internet was filled with curses. Luo Yuelin’s face darkened in front of the screen. She never dreamed that it would end like this.
At this moment, she did not dare to do anything else. Even though the Luo family had a huge business, the power of public opinion was huge. If it was exposed, the Luo family would have to pay a painful price.
If this happened, she would really be playing with fire!
Time passed quickly, and the night passed in the blink of an eye.
Just as Luo Yuelin had expected, with the reversal of the situation, Team 7 gained a large number of fans again, and their data improved by leaps and bounds.
In just a few hours, they ranked second. Although they were still quite a bit away from first place, as long as they maintained this momentum, it was only a matter of time before they surpassed her.
The sudden increase in the data of Team 7 also attracted the jealousy of the other groups.
Especially Tian Xiao and Gao Xuan’s group, who were pushed to third place, were even more furious.
As actors and directors, they had the same thoughts as Luo Yuelin. It was fine if they lost to ordinary people, but not losing to a poor person.
When the program ended, wouldn’t the people in the industry laugh their heads off?
8.30am
After finishing his busy morning, Chen Che arrived at the company happily.
When he was changing his work clothes, he realized that his good brother, Kong Hao, was not here today. His phone was still switched off.
“Why did this kid turn off his phone? Could it be that he went to pick up a girl last night? If he doesn’t come soon, he’ll be late,” Chen Che muttered with a smile.
When the man at the side heard this, he hurriedly added, “You still don’t know? I thought the two of you had a good relationship and you already knew.”
Chen Che was stunned. “Know what? What about him?”
“I heard from the supervisor that Kong Hao’s mother suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized last night. He has already applied for leave.”
“Right, right. The supervisor still has to organize a donation later.”
“I hope Kong Hao’s mother is alright. He only has one family member left. His phone is probably switched off because he’s busy and has no battery. Every family has its own difficulties.”
“I see.” Chen Che frowned, deep in thought.
[Did you hear that? They’re going to donate later. Do you think Chen Che will donate?]
[Of course. No matter how stingy you are, you can’t do this, right?]
[That’s right. He has a very good relationship with Kong Hao.]
Just as the netizens were discussing, Chen Che, who had just changed his clothes, had already walked out of the changing room. He did not let the camera follow him because of privacy.
Knock knock!
“Enter!”
After getting permission, Chen Che walked into the supervisor’s office.
“Yo, Little Chen, what’s wrong?” The supervisor asked with a smile.
“I heard that Kong Hao’s mother is sick. Are you going to gather everyone to donate?” Chen Che asked.
“That’s right. We’ll talk about it when everyone is here. Of course, this is voluntary and not forced. It doesn’t matter if you don’t donate.” The supervisor knew that Chen Che was frugal, so he said this on purpose.
Of course, Chen Che understood what he meant and hurriedly said, “Supervisor, you’ve misunderstood. I want to donate, but I don’t have money in my pocket now.”
“Look, we’re about to get paid anyway. Can I request the finance department to give me an advance?”
As the netizens said, as Kong Hao’s good brother, how could Chen Che not donate under such circumstances?
He wanted to borrow it from Lin Xi, but he was afraid that others would say that he was freeloading.
More importantly, the bank card records had already been dug out by someone. Now that he was borrowing from Lin Xi, the netizens would definitely think, “Why not spend the money in the bank card?”
Chen Che did not want to cause more trouble, so he wanted to get his salary in advance.
After hearing Chen Che’s words, the supervisor smiled and said, “Is there a need to look for the finance department for such a small matter? Don’t go through so much trouble. Can’t I just lend it to you first?”
“That’s even better. Thank you, Supervisor.” Chen Che quickly thanked him.
“Aiya, why are you being so polite with me? Tell me, how much do you want to donate?” The supervisor asked.
Chen Che did some calculations. After deducting $2,000 for his family, he would be left with at least $3,000 this month, so he replied, “$1,500.”
The supervisor was stunned. He had seen Chen Che’s recent actions.
Chen Che, who ate instant noodles and buns, donated $1,500 at once?
“Little Chen, actually, I shouldn’t have advised you. I know that you have a good relationship with Kong Hao, but it hasn’t been easy for you either.”
“You’re frugal and working part-time. This $1,500 isn’t easy to come by. Besides, isn’t this the money you’re saving up for marriage?”
“In my opinion, even if we have a good relationship, donating $300 to $500 is enough.”
“By the way, the company’s headquarters will also help Kong Hao. It’s enough to tide him over.”
The supervisor said earnestly. In his opinion, Chen Che must be afraid of losing face. He must be extremely heartbroken to donate so much.
In fact, Chen Che’s heart was bleeding. In the eyes of others, it was $1,500, but in his eyes, it was $15 million!
However, when his brother was in trouble, he was still willing to help.
“It’s fine, Supervisor. Just $1,500 dollars. You can just deduct it directly from my paycheck.” Chen Che’s tone was firm.
Looking at Chen Che, the supervisor gave him a thumbs up. “It’s worth it for Kong Hao to have a brother like you.”
“Since you’ve already decided, I won’t persuade you anymore. I’ll give you the money now.”
Chen Che hurriedly said, “There’s no need to give it to me. Just donate it together.”
