C16 There Was Always a Way out

Before she knew it, Qiao Chu and Zhong Shaoming had been divorced for more than half a month. She had not seen him during this period of time. Other than not being able to see Zhong Shaoming day and night again, Qiao Chu felt that her life was the same as before. Slowly, she even felt that she actually did not have much attachment to Zhong Shaoming anymore.

It was just that sometimes, when she passed by the place where they had once dated, she would think of his gentle and handsome side profile.

But she felt that his face was a little blurry.

It turned out that time could really make people forget a lot of things.

Qiao Chu was lucky that she could walk out of Zhong Shaoming's shadow so quickly.

Perhaps giving up on him in exchange for her mother's safety was the right choice.

However, Qiao Chu was still too naive. What happened next simply exceeded what she could bear.

On this day, when Qiao Chu went to the hospital, she was called to the office by her mother's attending physician. His tone was somewhat heavy as he told her, "Qiao, your mother's medical expenses and treatment fees have exceeded eighty thousand. The medical expenses that you have paid are far from enough. You have to pay as soon as possible."

Qiao Chu was stunned, "What?"

Didn't Zhong Shaoming agree to pay a large deposit to the hospital?

The doctor explained, "Ten days ago, your husband stopped paying the deposit. Because I know who you are, I didn't urge you. But you also know that your mother's treatment fees are quite high... If I calculate today's expenses, the cost will exceed 100,000. I think you should remind your husband. "

The doctor did not know that Qiao Chu had divorced Zhong Shaoming, so he gave his opinion tactfully.

Qiao Chu understood what had happened, so she pretended to be calm and said to the doctor, "Don't worry, I will pay for it as soon as possible."

The doctor said, "You have to be quick."

Qiao Chu did not know how she left the doctor's office.

When she returned to the ward, she saw that her mother had already fallen asleep.

Compared to a few days ago, her mother's face had become paler and more haggard. Qiao Chu grabbed her mother's skinny hand and placed it on her own face.

Qiao Chu thought, mother, no matter what price I have to pay, I will cure you. You must be strong. I cannot lose you.

Qiao's mother's sleeping face was peaceful.

She was a woman who could endure hardships. The process of chemotherapy was very painful, but she had never let her daughter see her painful side. Even if she fell asleep, the corners of her mouth were still slightly raised.

Qiao Chu only found out when she returned home that she had nothing. Other than the courtyard that her mother left for her, she did not have a single cent.

She did not even have any relatives. Because Qiao's mother had long left her family. Qiao Chu did not even know who her mother's family was, let alone borrow money from them.

Qiao Chu had not gone out to find a job. After graduating for several months, she didn't even have a formal job.

Qiao Chu racked her brain and could not think of anything else. She could only call Zhong Shaoming and briefly explain the matter of the hospital to ask him to help her for a period of time. When she found a job, she would definitely return the money.

Zhong Shaoming said coldly, "Qiao Chu, we are divorced. I have no obligation to do these things."

Qiao Chu said humbly, "But when we divorced, you promised me."

"I am going back on my word now." Zhong Shaoming interrupted her, "You are Si Yichuan's woman. Why did you ask me for money?"

Qiao Chu suddenly felt that this world was unbelievable. Why did everyone think that she was Si Yichuan's woman?

Zhong Shaoming did not wait for Qiao Chu to respond. He said in disgust, "Don't call me again in the future. As long as I hear your voice, I can't help but think of some dirty things."

After Qiao Chu hung up the phone, she suddenly understood one thing. All these years, she had been relying on Zhong Shaoming to live. All of her mother's expenses were paid by Zhong Shaoming on her behalf.

It turned out that after Qiao Chu left Zhong Shaoming, she was actually so useless.

Qiao Chu understood that she had to find a job immediately.

But in these few days, not a single large company was willing to hire her.

Although Qiao Chu graduated from a famous university, she was only a graduate and did not have much work experience. She was not willing to go to a small company, and a big company was not willing to hire her. Naturally, she could not find a job.

After Soong Feifei introduced a few companies for Qiao Chu and there were no results, she could not help but say, "Chu, actually you can start working in a small company first. With your intelligence, when you have experience in the future, you can jump ship to a big company."

Qiao Chu said, "But the salary of a small company is too little. I need money now."

Soong Feifei asked doubtfully," What is going on? "

Qiao Chu hesitated for a moment and finally told Soong Feifei about the medical expenses.

After Soong Feifei heard it, she said angrily, "Why didn't I hear you tell me about this kind of thing? How much do you owe the hospital now?"

Qiao Chu said, "I already owe the hospital 110,000."

Qiao Chu's mother's daily hospitalization fees and medical expenses were 2000 yuan. Every other week, she would have a few bigger check-ups and plus chemotherapy. Under these circumstances, her most expensive daily expenses would reach twenty to thirty thousand yuan.

Soong Feifei took in a cold breath, "You already owe so much?"

Qiao Chu said, "So I don't want to trouble you. After all, my mother's illness needs long-term treatment."

"I can barely take out more than a hundred thousand yuan of savings." Soong Feifei said, "If not, I will sell the car again."

"Feifei, I really thank you." Qiao Chu shook her head, "Lend me 100,000 yuan first. Don't sell your car. After all, this is what your job needs. I know that you still need to send money to your family every month. You also need to work hard to earn money. Let me think of a way to get the rest of the money. "

Qiao Chu did not want to say too many hypocritical words to her good friend, but Feifei's family situation was not too good, so Qiao Chu did not dare to trouble her too much.

Soong Feifei understood Qiao Chu's character and did not say anything else. She hugged Qiao Chu, "Chu, you must work hard."

Qiao Chu took the 100,000 that Soong Feifei borrowed and she first paid a sum of money from the hospital. She could temporarily relax for a period of time.

Although Qiao Chu did not have much money, the caregivers could not be fired.

Firstly, Qiao Chu was afraid that her mother would ask about the reason. Secondly, she needed to find a job, so she could not stay by her mother's side all the time.

Qiao Chu still tried her best to find a job.

There was always a way out. Two days later, Qiao Chu received a reply after she submitted her resume to a big company. That company asked her to go for an interview.

Qiao Chu's interview actually went very smoothly. The company allowed her to come to work the next day.

This was a multinational company called Yueting Group. It was said that its business spanned across several countries. It was a good platform for Qiao Chu to show her skills.

What made Qiao Chu the happiest was that the salary for the probation period was six thousand. After Qiao Chu changed her position in three months, she would be able to get 12,000 a month's salary. If Qiao Chu did well, the year-end reward would be even more.

This way, Qiao Chu would be able to settle a large portion of her mother's hospitalization fees.

However, compared to the treatment fees of 100,000 yuan, Qiao Chu's monthly salary was still far from enough.

Qiao Chu thought of a part-time job and Soong Feifei agreed to pay attention to it.

The job that Qiao Chu applied for was the CEO's secretary but the CEO was often not in the company. On Qiao Chu's first day at work, she first familiarized herself with the CEO's work habits and the company's information and procedures.

Before Qiao Chu got off work, she received a call from Soong Feifei. Soong Feifei told her that there was a good part-time job here and asked her to come over to take a look.
