Chapter 33 Section 33

Before filing the divorce petition, there are still several procedures to go through.First, an agreement document including alimony has to be drawn up, and then a place to live next has to be found.We quit the apartment we lived in because it was too much space for one person and the rent was too high.Besides, Miharu also said that she didn't want to live there. I found an apartment in Edogawa Ward. It was said to be a one-bedroom apartment, but the kitchen was just a simple sink, not a kitchen at all.In fact, it was a suite at all, and the space was very narrow. After putting in the bed and the small coffee table, there was almost no place to stand.Meiqing and I have found new homes one after another, but I have no idea what the layout of the house she is looking for or how much the rent is.

The weather is not beautiful, the day I moved just entered the rainy season.The uniforms of the two movers were drenched in the rain and they had to move what little furniture and clothes they had from the old home.They came with the smallest trucks.Miharu owned almost all the furniture and electrical appliances I bought when I got married, so on the night after the move, I had to spend a lot of time even getting a bowl of instant noodles. My divorce caused a stir in the company.Some people simply came to ask me questions just because they were interested, while others came to tell me some rumors about me.But I think there must be more people gossiping about me behind my back based on unfounded imaginations.

I was also once called to the HR department.The Minister of Personnel inquired about the reason for my divorce, and I insisted that it was because of personality differences, but it was unknown to what extent he believed it. After positioning the luggage, it was a little more comfortable to live in.Originally, Meiqing was a woman who didn't do much housework, so I didn't feel any inconvenience in life.As I was eating my home-cooked meals in my clean room, I suddenly thought, "Why on earth would I want to get married?" I paid a hefty tuition fee to know that. However, not long after the rainy season ended, I realized that I had underestimated the "tuition fee".Several credit card companies called to inform them that the deposit was insufficient and the payment could not be deducted.After I checked, I found that Miharu had used several credit cards for shopping.When I heard the amount due, I was taken aback. It was not at all a figure I could pay right away.

I immediately called Meiqing and asked her what was going on. "Oh, that. Didn't I tell you?" she said dryly. "You didn't tell me. What are you going to do? I can't afford it." "I also have a headache when you tell me this." She said in an irrelevant tone. "But, is that the money you spent? It has nothing to do with me." Hearing what I said, she paused for a moment, and then said, "Did you forget to cut out the contents of the book?" "Cutting the book?" "Did you sign it during the divorce? I think there should be one of them. Tajima Kazuyuki is responsible for all debts incurred during the marriage."

"That refers to credit card fees for installment payments. I didn't know there were bonus payments." "That's your family's business, right? If you want to blame it, it's your fault for not asking clearly." "Are you hiding it on purpose?" "I didn't hide it on purpose. If you want to think that way, it's up to you. But no matter what you think, it's the same thing." "I'm not going to pay!" "Please go ahead. However, I don't know if the credit card company will accept your statement." Miharu's straightforward voice made my nerves even more tense.

"If you want to do that, I naturally have my own plans." She seemed to have sensed what I meant right away, and said, "I'm going to say this first. If you don't pay the alimony, I won't keep silent. I'll fight for it when the time comes." "What do you mean by that? Do you want to go to court?" "It depends on how you deal with it. In short, I will advocate the right to cut off the book." "That goddam cut book is invalid." "Then, you can argue that in the court. However, if there is a lawsuit, it will be troublesome for you, right? The company will know then."

After hearing her words, I fell silent for a moment.I don't know if she is sure that she won the quarrel, but her meaningful laughter came from the phone. "Anyway, you probably didn't tell the truth to the company, right? You must have concealed that the divorce was because of your affair. If you go to court for not paying your ex-wife's alimony, you will probably feel even more ashamed?" "Enough, I see." I hung up the phone. I once again understood Miharu's cunning.I no longer think she is a shopaholic because she is stressed out.She had already written the script when she knew I was cheating.Anyway, since she was going to get a divorce, she should spend as much as she could, and let this man pay the bill before running away—she must have planned it this way.I can only think so.Moreover, she had long expected that I would completely conceal my affair.

I regretted it, but she was right, in order to save my face in the company, I didn't want to make a big deal out of it. Just when I was at a loss, the disaster messenger came to my door with a more serious disaster.Two men pretending to be customers came to the store and asked me to serve them by name, but their real identities were money collectors from a financial company.It was a company I had never heard of, and the politeness of the men was only superficial, and I knew they were not decent people. Meiqing borrowed one million from that company, and I was the joint guarantor. I said: "Since she borrowed the money, and the debtor has the owner, please go to her if you want to urge the money." But when the two men heard me say this, there were smiles on their faces, "It's because of her We came to you only if there was no money. Besides, when you divorced her, didn’t you make an agreement with her that you would be responsible for all the repayments of the loan? She showed us an official document, which said on."

Debt collectors put special emphasis on the word "formal". Needless to say, of course Meiqing had to pay interest on the money she borrowed.I suddenly felt dark in my eyes. "We will come again!" The men left after leaving this sentence.I guess they plan to come and "visit" me every day.They would come to my door every day until the day when I, who was afraid that the company would know the inside story, would not be able to hold them back and obeyed them. I could barely work that day.The boss read me aloud, but I didn't even listen carefully.Terrible images came to my mind one after another. I couldn't help calling Miharu, but I couldn't get through.However, even if the phone is connected, things will not get better, she will just contradict me as before.

I always felt that those two men would block me in front of the house, so I really didn't want to go home, but it didn't make sense to wander the streets all night. When the last tram was about to leave, I finally set off on my way home. As soon as I got home, I saw a Mercedes parked by the side of the road.I have a bad feeling that it is the car of the debt collector. Just as I was walking into the apartment with my head down, there was the sound of a car door opening and closing behind me.I rush up the stairs.My house is on the third floor. Although I can take the elevator, I don't have time to wait.

I went up to the third floor, took out the key in front of the door, and heard the sound of the elevator arriving, and footsteps approaching me.I hurriedly opened the door and was about to rush into the house when someone called me from behind. "Tajima." I stopped moving. I turned around and saw Cang Chi walking towards me slowly with a smile on his lips. "Why did you come back so late? Are you working overtime?" "Why, it's already so late." I gasped. "I have something to tell you, so I waited for you downstairs. I called you as soon as I saw you, but you didn't seem to hear it." "looking for me?" "I just have something to tell you. I won't spend too much time on you, can I bother you?" Cang Chi put his hands in his trouser pockets. When I thought that it was because of this man that I ended up marrying a terrible woman, hatred arose spontaneously.I figured I'd at least give him a slap in the face and let off steam, but oddly enough, I was hoping for someone to be around again tonight.Someone who won't ask me for money. I took a deep breath and opened the door again. "The room is small, come in." Kuramochi nodded and walked into the room. "It's really small." Kuramo sat huddled between the cheap coffee table and the TV, and said, "Isn't there a better house?" "The rent is too expensive. This is the best house I can rent." I answered honestly. "Rent..." Kuramo took out a cigarette and found that I had no intention of preparing an ashtray, so he grabbed an empty beer can at hand. "Are you worried about money?" I am silent.I want to vent my dissatisfaction on him, but I don't want him to think that I am talking about frustration.However, in fact, now is not the time to be brave. Kuramochi exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "Recently, Yukiko seemed to have talked with Ms. Miharu on the phone. Yukiko said that she heard something that surprised her." I looked at him, and he also looked at me and continued: "I heard that you even have to pay back the money she borrowed, don't you? It's like a credit card loan..." "Did Miharu tell Miss Yukiko about that?" "It seems that during the phone conversation with her, Xizi felt that there were many things wrong, so she forced her to speak out. According to Ms. Meiqing, it was agreed when you divorced, saying that if you don't let you pay the money , isn't it too cheap for you." I turned my face away, unable to talk back. "Why did you sign that cut book again? You must have read the content carefully, right?" Kuramochi raised his question. "I wanted to explain it earlier. Besides, I didn't expect her to borrow so much." "Are there really that many?" I don't want to answer Kuramo's question, because I always feel that I will be regarded as the number one idiot in Tianzi. "It seems that her borrowing should not be limited to credit cards? Do you have any other debts?" "Don't worry about it!" "Sure enough, isn't it?" Cang Mo extinguished the cigarette he hadn't smoked for a few puffs. "Is it a company called Consumer Finance, or...?" He was right.My expression stiffened.He saw my reaction. "am I right?" "That kind of thing isn't important, is it?" "It doesn't matter. Yukiko and I both feel responsible. We should introduce you to a better woman. Tell it all!" His hypocritical tone annoyed me instead.I thought to myself: "He obviously thinks I'm a fool. He obviously came to laugh at me..." "Today, people from that evil company," I put the business card handed to me by the daytime man on the coffee table. "Come to my company." Seeing the business card, Kuramo frowned. "Is it an underground bank...?" "I'm going to discuss it with a lawyer. It's really inexplicable. Even if I sign and seal the conclusion, I can't throw all the debts on my head, can I?" "Have you appointed a lawyer?" "I don't know a lawyer. I'm going to find one. You should be able to find it in the phone book, right?" I want to tell him that I will get through this level of difficulty on my own.However, I also know very well that it was just lip service, and I just wanted to show him my strength. Kuramochi probably saw through this point, shook his head slightly, and lit a second cigarette. "How much is it all?" "How much?" "Borrowing. Including the part of the underground bank, how much do you have to repay?" "I don't know." I turned my face away. "What do you mean you don't know? Give me an approximate amount!" "Why are you asking this? Do you want to pay for me?" Hearing what I said, Kuramochi nodded lightly with a serious face. "I thought, that's the way to go." I raised my hand and waved vigorously. "Don't bother. I don't want to owe you a favor." "Of course, this is just a temporary deposit for you, and you will still have to pay me back in the future. This should be better than borrowing money from a vicious underground bank, right? Besides, if you don't pay the credit card fee quickly, you will be blacklisted immediately Yo!" No need for your dick - I swallowed the words down my throat.To be honest, Kuramochi's proposal was a cornerstone.If the other party is not Kuramochi, I will definitely be polite, but I will gladly accept the other party's kindness. Kuramo looked at me silently, reached into the inner pocket of his coat and took out an envelope.The bulging envelope looks like a cylinder. "Anyway, you take this first today. It's exactly two million." "……What's this?" "The debt collectors shouldn't wait for you, right? You can use it for emergency. If you don't want to owe me favors, just make money and pay me back quickly. In short, the borrowers are different. I have no intention of accepting you. Interest." Kuramochi stood up. "Let's meet again next week. You will accept the money first." "Wait a minute. You have no reason to do this." "Didn't I say that I feel responsible? It's best if you don't need the money. If you don't need it, you can pay me back next week. Is that okay?" "I didn't write the IOU either." "If you need the money, write me a receipt next week." Cang Mo left after leaving this sentence. After he went back, I opened the envelope and saw that it was stuffed with 10,000 yuan banknotes.Count carefully, it is indeed two hundred.When I think about the status of that guy, he can leave such a large sum of money completely indifferently, and I feel angry at my worthless self. What's even more useless is that I won't be able to return the money intact to the warehouse next week.The day after he came to the house, people from the financial company came to the door.Although they didn't use violence, they kept threatening me with words: "Tajima-san, if you can't pay back the money immediately, we can find a way for you to pay back the money! It's like applying for a credit card. You go to buy high-priced money first. and then hand over the items to us. Or introduce other financial companies to you, introduce you to jobs that can make money immediately, there are many ways! However, if you have an accident, it will be bad. So no matter what, please get an insurance first. Of course, you need life insurance. You don’t have to worry about the insurance premium, we will pay for you. Anyway, it’s just a year’s premium, so it’s not a big deal. You don’t ask why it’s one year Because we will definitely ask you to pay back the money after one year. If you don’t pay the money by then, I don’t know what will happen. If we worry about it, you probably won’t have a good life. We will let you You don’t want to live, so you want to die. Speaking of which, after one year of life insurance, even if you commit suicide, you can still get the insurance money. Well, I’m just talking, it has nothing to do with you..." I couldn't tell from their tone that this was just a simple threat, or whether it was a bit serious.I don't even have the energy to judge.I immediately took out the money that Cangshou had lent me and put it in front of them. Meiqing should have borrowed one million, but they also took away the high interest from me.After they left satisfied, I couldn't even stand up for a while. Now that the money from Cangshou was used up, I simply used the remaining money to pay off the credit card debt, so the money borrowed by Cangshen was wiped out within a few days. "You don't have to worry about it. I borrowed money from you just to let you pay off the debt. It's good if I can help you." A week later, Cang Chi came home, and he didn't show any surprise after listening to my explanation. Instead, he comforted me in a tone that could be called gentle.He probably expected that I would use the money.I always feel that I will soon be unable to bear this miserable mood. "I will return the money to you as soon as possible." Saying this is already my limit.I couldn't lift my drooping head no matter what. "Don't be so depressed. At least the problem is solved, isn't it great? If the debt collector comes to the door every day, you probably don't have to do your work." "I'll write you an IOU." "I really want to tell you not to do that kind of outlandish thing, but you'd better write it down, otherwise you probably won't feel at ease." Kuramo took out a document.It is an official IOU, just fill in the amount and a few numbers, and then sign and seal it. He wrote down the interest and the due date on the IOU; the interest was very low and the repayment date was a long way from now.He showed me the IOU and said, "If there is no problem, just sign it." Without saying a word, I immediately signed and stamped the official seal on it. "What about other loans? I seem to have a lot of credit card debt." "I have already paid back part of the bonus payment. As for the monthly account, I have to figure out a way." "Don't you still have to pay Miss Meiqing's alimony? Can you raise money?" I kept silent and had no idea where to raise the money. "What's your current income? If it's convenient, can you show me your salary slip?" "How can you just look at that kind of thing..." "Don't talk so much, let me take a look. I'm just making sure." I could no longer disobey his orders, so I handed him the last month's salary slip. "Well, this should be the income of ordinary office workers." He looked at the salary slip and said. "Honestly speaking, it shouldn't be a problem to live a normal life with this salary. However, once you consider the loan and alimony, it will be very tight." I nodded slightly, and there was no room for rebuttal. "How is it? Do you want to work for me?" Cang Mo said as he put the salary slip on the coffee table. "Work? A job selling stocks?" "Buy and sell stocks for clients, or act as a consultant for retail investors. Although you are a novice, don't worry, I will teach you from the beginning." "Your company shouldn't be understaffed, right? Why did you ask me to join?" Hearing my question, Kuramochi sat cross-legged, straightened his back, and folded his arms. "Actually, I recently decided to start my own business. After all, it's time to run my own company. I rented an office near Douting." "Stand on your own? Are you?" "I brought a few people over from my current company. The president has also agreed. After all, when it comes to the degree of contribution to the current company, if I rank second, no one dares to rank first. I will not let people have the opportunity to say small talk." I looked at his vigorous face. "Look at what? Is there something on my face?" "No." I shook my head. "I just think you are amazing. You can start new businesses one after another. I think it's admirable." "Are you mocking me?" Kuramo said with a cigarette in his mouth. "No. I admire you from the bottom of my heart." Actually, I really didn't mean to be sarcastic at him.Although I hate Kuramochi's character, I have to admit that he is very capable of making money with intangible commodities. "However, you are only setting up the company now, right? I may be a little sorry for saying this, but when the company may not be successful, do you have spare money to pay a novice salary like me?" Hearing what I said, Kuramochi suddenly puffed out a puff of smoke, with an expression that didn't expect me to say that. "I said Tajima, I have pulled you to do various jobs before this. I admit that there are problems in those businesses, but I have never let you lose a dime. Whether it is Hozumi International or Tozai Trading, You should have made some money. The reason you have some savings is because of the work, right? If I remember correctly, I only let you lose once, but it has nothing to do with business relationship." At this point, he smiled wickedly. "Gobang. Have you forgotten?" I was a little surprised, I didn't expect him to take the initiative to bring up that incident eight hundred years ago. "Do you still remember?" "Of course I do. No one in this world feels comfortable lying to a friend." I stared at the corner of his mouth where he said the word "friend" easily. "Stocks are very interesting! As long as you use your brain, you will make money, and if you lose money, you are a guy who has no brains. There are more stupid people in this world, so the money in the hands of stupid people will continue to go into the pockets of smart people. If this is the case, why should you worry? Will it fail? Ann! I can assure you that you won’t lose any money. One more thing, I’m considering a side business, but it’s a large-scale side business.” He lowered his voice and continued. "I want to get into real estate." "Land...?" "Apartments are fine too." He nodded. "You also know that land prices are constantly rising, and will continue to rise in the future. I want to gather as much funds as possible first, and then invest in real estate. The money I earn is more stable than stocks." "Gems, gold, stocks, finally land next?" I sighed. "You bastard, why do you always..." I couldn't continue. "Tajima, let me tell you the essence of making money. For example, if there is 10,000 yuan here, after buying instant noodles for 100 yuan, there will be 9,900 yuan left. In this way, the money will be quickly Spend it. First the last nine hundred yuan, and then one or two thousand yuan bills less. The money will be gone in a blink of an eye. Do you understand that?" I nod.I know this firsthand. "But you can think about making money the other way around. First, it's not difficult to turn ten thousand yuan into ten thousand and one hundred yuan. Then it's not difficult to turn ten thousand one hundred yuan into ten thousand and two hundred yuan. As long as you repeat this simple action, you can easily turn 10,000 yuan into 20,000 yuan. Most people are stupid and want to double 10,000 yuan immediately, so they fail." "Hearing you say that, everyone in the world seems to be stupid." "That's right. There are so many people with dumbfounded minds." Kuramochi smiled brightly. "Think about it." After finishing speaking, he left my house.I stumbled over what he said.Everyone in the world is dumb - and I always feel like I'm talking about myself - who just made one mistake and wiped out all the money they've worked so hard to save and are in debt all over the place. -------------------------------- Note:
