Future News: My Phone Mutated
57 Wang Huaigu’s Desperate Situation
However, Wang Huaigu's mood was completely different from Luo Yang's.
In order to raise medical expenses for the injured workers, Wang Huaigu went around borrowing money from people.
In the beginning, he was able to borrow money very smoothly.
After all, he had been in the industry for so many years, so he had some connections.
Moreover, he was a loyal and honest person, and his reputation in the industry could almost be said to be well-known.
His friends naturally trusted him and were willing to lend him money to tide him over.
However, this situation did not last long. Very soon, Wang Huaigu began to be rebuffed.
At the beginning, those people only found excuses, saying that they were short of money and could not help him.
Or they said that there were all kinds of problems at home or in the company, and they didn't have the money to lend him.
At first, Wang Huaigu still believed it, but as the number of calls increased, he received basically the same answer.
Wang Huaigu began to realize that maybe those friends didn't encounter any difficulties at all, they just didn't want to lend him the money and just made up a reason to decline.
Later, a more straightforward friend told him the reason directly.
That friend said, "Old Wang, it's not that I'm unwilling to help you, but I really don't dare to take the risk!"
"Shen Wanqing has already made it clear that whoever dares to touch the mine underground of Yunding Villa must be prepared to leave their lives in Yunding Villa!"
"Whoever borrows money to help you will be going against him, Shen Wanqing, and must be prepared to face revenge exacted by him!"
"I don't need to tell you how much of a bastard Shen Wanqing is. We all know that."
"Brother, I am also someone who has a family to feed. I really don't dare to risk the lives of my parents, wife, and children!"
"So I can only let you down. You can think of another solution. I really can't help you on my side."
Having said that, Wang Huaigu was naturally embarrassed to ask the other party to lend him more money.
After all, no one would ignore the lives of their family members for the sake of their friends.
Wang Huaigu asked himself and thought that if he were in the same shoes, he would probably make the same choice.
Therefore, he did not blame his friend for anything. He was just worried and did not know how to deal with the medical expenses of the workers and the corresponding compensation.
If it did not work out, he could only mortgage the property.
The bank would not be afraid of Shen Wanqing's threat and not dare to lend to him, right?
Soon, something that made Wang Huaigu even more desperate happened.
The friends who had lent him the money earlier called one after another and made up all kinds of excuses, saying that something had happened at home or that something had suddenly happened at the company.
In short, the core idea was...
"Can you return the money I lent you just now?"
Wang Huaigu knew in his heart that the reasons they said were all made up.
The real reason was that they were afraid that Shen Wanqing would find out that they had lent him the money and take revenge on them, so they wanted the money back.
Even though he knew everything, Wang Huaigu did not expose it.
Faced with the requests of his friends, Wang Huaigu did not say anything. He just silently returned the money they had lent him, one by one.
Seeing that the number in his bank card was getting smaller and smaller, Wang Huaigu's heart also grew cold.
Previously, he had only considered whether or not he should mortgage his property. Now, he had no choice but to mortgage it.
Miners who were injured by the explosion had no money for treatment.
Those were all human lives!
Wang Huaigu lit the last cigarette in his pocket and took a big puff.
Then, he looked at the faint white light in the eastern sky and sighed deeply.
The shadow reflected on the glass window had more than half of his hair turned white.
In just a short night, he seemed to have aged by dozens of years.
It was not easy to stay up until seven o'clock. Wang Huaigu estimated that Lin Bai should have woken up by now.
Therefore, he hurriedly sent a letter to Lin Bai, begging Lin Bai to return the transfer money.
"Mr. Lin, I really need money urgently. I can't wait that long for a week."
"Can you return the transfer money to me now? Just half is enough, please."
Wang Huaigu actually didn't like to beg people, but almost every word he said these past two days was begging people.
In the entire first half of his life, the number of times he begged people was less than he did in these two days.
When Lin Bai woke up, he saw a message from Wang Huaigu.
His first reaction was whether the workers' injuries had worsened.
When he had signed the contract with Wang Huaigu, Lin Bai had used the Divine-level human discernment technique to observe Wang Huaigu.
At that time, the words that appeared above his head were "Honest and genuine".
This also proved that Wang Huaigu would not easily go back on his words unless he really encountered difficulties that forced him to do so.
This was Lin Bai's guess and also his inquiry.
"Have the workers' injuries worsened? Or is there another situation going on in the mine?" Lin Bai asked.
Wang Huaigu called him directly and told him everything that had happened last night.
He also told Lin Bai about the harsh words that Shen Wanqing had said.
"The hospital is a bottomless pit. The families of the injured workers keep asking for compensation. I really can't raise enough money. Even if I mortgage my house, I can't get the money in one or two days
"But now, money is needed everywhere. I really can't wait any longer."
Even through the phone, Lin Bai could clearly feel Wang Huaigu's despair and helplessness at this moment.
He really had no way out. That was why he kept begging him for a refund.
Lin Bai was also very sympathetic to his situation.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Bai said to him, "How about this, you think of a way to hold on for another day."
"I'll refund the transfer fee to you tomorrow."
When Wang Huaigu heard this, his eyes immediately lit up. He felt as if he had seen hope again.
"Really? Mr. Lin, don't lie to me!"
Lin Bai said, "Don't worry, I won't."
After receiving Lin Bai's promise, Wang Huaigu felt as if he had been reassured.
All the anxiety from before had been swept away.
He believed that since Lin Bai had said so, he would definitely be able to do it.
Otherwise, Lin Bai would not have made such a promise. After all, he did not have the obligation to do so.
After appeasing Wang Huaigu, Lin Bai took Luo Yang and set off for Yun Province.
By the time they landed, found a hotel and completed the check-in procedures, it was already afternoon.
Luo Yang could not wait to go to the public emporium to have a look.
"Anyway, it's still early. Why don't we go to the public emporium to have a look?"
"I've only seen the Jade Public Emporium on TV before. This time, I finally have the chance to see it with my own eyes. I really want to know if it's different from the TV."
The jade public emporium was too attractive to Luo Yang, so he didn't have the mood to go to any tourist attractions.
Lin Bai also wanted to find the raw stone mentioned in the Future News app as soon as possible, so he agreed to Luo Yang's proposal.
