A friend loses fifty thousand dollars and disappears in two years
Li Ming and I are classmates in primary school, middle school and university. We have a good relationship. After graduating from college, I entered a state-owned enterprise with a stable job but a low salary, which was more than 2,000 yuan a month. Then I got married and had a baby and lived a normal life. After graduating from university, li Ming went into the society, did many things, and started a small company of more than ten people. We are in the same city, and often maintain good relations.
One night, due to the weekend of tomorrow, I wanted to ask li Ming out for a drink. When I walked into his office, I saw two people quarreling with him in li Ming's office. When I went in, the two turned around and left.
"Kyle, there's a problem with our company. We need a $50,000 turnover. We can pay you back in a week at most." Li Ming couldn't wait to pull me in.
Li Ming is my friend for many years, he has difficulty what I say will help him, but I'm so over the years, the total savings is $50000, the most important is, my father is going to do surgery, next month fee just to 50000, my wife is the sole female, both the old man has no savings, only me to pay for the surgery, my wife and I discussed, I have no opinion, after all I marry a wife, father a gift money also have no.
Li Ming looked at me and was worried. I explained: "I just have 50,000 yuan in cash, but this is the surgery fee for my father-in-law. You should borrow some money at this time, just in case."
Before I could finish, li Ming said, "brother, we have been friends for so many years. Don't you know who I am? I promise to return the 50,000 yuan to you after a week without delay.
That's what li Ming said. With all his friends over the years, I didn't hesitate to hand over the only 50,000 yuan in cash on the card to li Ming with my wife.
It has been more than a week since this incident, li Ming did not call to say the money matter, in the past week, is the father-in-law's surgery time, I can't help but feel a bit anxious, just the wife found the 50,000 cash card was missing, I called me, I had to tell her truthfully. My wife got angry and scolded me, saying I was making fun of his father's life and told me to get the money back immediately.
I didn't want to rush the debt, but I called li Ming. No one answered, and I was shocked. I immediately took a bus to the place li Ming rented.
My heart completely cold, did not expect so trust friend, will do this kind of thing to me. After back home, tell the wife, the wife and I had a big argument, angry back to the bride's family, this week, I have to borrow money in the outside, my relatives is not much, also can barely raise writes, to the cheek to colleagues to borrow money, borrow my thousands of good relationship, some people are just a few hundred sent me, but I don't blame them, after all, now who's hands are car loans mortgages, life pressure big, who but also for the day.
Nevertheless good, the operation fee of father-in-law person is enough, the operation is also very successful, the wife also came back, but occasionally still can because of this matter complain me.
It was over, and li Ming disappeared like a human. Two years passed. One day, I was preparing to go home from the outside. I suddenly heard someone calling my name.
"Li Ming? I looked at him in surprise. Li Ming came over and took my hand and said, "kyle, long time no see." "With that, I stuffed a paper bag into my hand and continued," I lent you $50,000 two years ago in case of emergency, and I'm paying you $100,000 today, both as interest and as an apology."
I smiled and looked at li Ming in front of me. Although he was full of energy, he smelled of copper. I took one half out of the bag, gave the other half back to li Ming and said, "I will take my 50,000, but we will never know each other in the future."
He turned around and left, ignoring li Ming behind him. Some people say that I was stupid. Now li Ming is rich, he will help me, but li Ming's hurt to me is not the money can make up for it
