Power of Money novel Chapter 1

"Jason Qin, wake up! Wake up!"

Jason Qin was woken up by several pushings. To be exact, he was awakened with a surprise. He opened his eyes and found himself lying on the bed with bandages wrapped around his hands.

"Hey! Wake up!"

A woman's voice was high-pitched and sharp, with a kind of bossy gesture.

Raising his head, Jason saw the woman. She was wearing a white nurse dress and a pair of white leggings. Her pink shirt was clearly shown from the collar.

"Hey, you have been lying in bed for 24 hours, and haven't paid a penny of medical expenses. This is a hospital, not your home. Are you a freeloader?"

"The hospital?"

"You mean me?"

Jason Qin looked down at his own body blankly. There were bandages everywhere and a few stitches. There were wounds all over his body, and he was holding an intravenous drip.

After careful observation, Jason Qin sobered up completely.

His name was Jason Qin, a college student who was going to graduate from a second-rate university in Nandu.

In his junior year at the university, he had a girlfriend. In order to buy an iPhone X newly launched before graduation, he had been working in McDonald's near the university in the recent two months.

But last night, when returning to the school dormitory after work, he saw a little girl running to the middle of the road. At this time, there was a van passing through. He didn't think too much and pushed the little girl out directly. But he got injured when he was knocked into a green belt by the van.

Thinking of this, Jason Qin felt a little lucky for himself.

With the high speed of the van at that time, he thought he was going to die.

But it didn't occur to him that he got his life back.

"Jason Qin, I'm talking to you!"

The nurse slapped on the table fiercely.

"Have you found the driver?" Jason Qin asked.

"What car driver? We got you out of the garbage dump after receiving a strange call. Now you'd better call your family and ask them to send the medical expenses to you. Otherwise, I'll call the police so that you can't stay here anymore"

The nurse raised the bill in her hand and was about to throw it on Jason Qin's face. At this time, a man in a white came in.

"Who told you to sit up? The plaster on your body has not been removed yet. Don't move!" Dr. Li looked at Jason Qin discontentedly. He was the chief physician of the inpatient department, and he had to do his duty as much as possible for every patient.

"Doctor Li, this is Jason Qin. He was sent here last night, but he hasn't paid a penny by now." The nurse reminded the doctor.

"Haven't you contacted his family yet?" Dr. Li frowned.

"His cell phone has been broken, so we couldn't reach his family. The phone dialed 120 before is now turned off. He has nothing but a student ID, so there is no other contact information." The nurse shook her head.

Dr. Lee nodded and then asked Jason Qin, "Do you remember your family's contact information or anyone else'? I can lend you my mobile phone."

"How much are the medical expenses?"

Jason hesitated.

"9,800 yuan for the rescue fees plus the hospitalization expenses. You can pay them either with cash or card," the nurse said coldly.

"Oh..."

Jason gasped.

9,800!

This might not be a big deal for the rich.

It only meant one meal, a coat, or mobile phone.

But for his parents who were farming in the countryside, it was like adding insult to injury!

Even the tuition fee was paid both by him doing a part- time job on holiday and his father borrowed from the village. Now he needed nearly 10,000 yuan all of the sudden. He really couldn't imagine what would happen at the other end of the phone, if he told his parents about this.

"Right!"

Jason said to Dr. Li promptly, "Please lend me your phone, as I know someone could help me."

He just got his salary yesterday, and finally gathered enough money to buy iPhone X for his girlfriend Sherry Lin in more than two months. When he got off work last night, he transferred the money directly to Sherry Lin. There was a total of 6900 yuan. In addition, his daily living expenses had been kept by Sherry Lin, so the money was enough to pay the medical expenses.

Jason took the phone from Dr. Li and quickly dialed the telephone number he couldn't familiar more.

"Hello, who is it?" A woman's lazy voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Sherry, it's me, Jason."

"Jason? When did you change your phone?" Lin Xue was surprised.

"It doesn't matter. Where are you right now? Can you come to the First People's Hospital? I need the money I gave you yesterday."

"Wait a minute!"

Sherry Lin interrupted and said, "What money transferred? What the hell you're talking about? I'm busy. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up."

"Oh, don't you remember? It's money to buy your cell phone. I just transferred it to you when I got off work last night. I'm lying in the hospital now. I don't have money to pay for medicine. Could you come here? I'll find another way to make money for you when I'm discharged from the hospital. Is that okay?"

"Interesting..."

Jason didn't know why Lin Xue suddenly sneered on the other side of the phone.

"Jason Qin, do you know what I'm going to do now? To buy iPhone X with my besties! Now you want me to give you the money? Are you trying to humiliate me? Now all my friends are using iPhone X, and I'm patient enough waiting for you, but now you want to take the money back? Let me tell you, Jason, you're a loser from your inside out. You're destined to have no prospects. I was blind to be your girlfriend before. You're just a farmer, and we don't need to contact again!"

Snapped!

The phone was hung up sharply.

Jason sat still on the bed with his ears still buzzing.

"Just broke up like this?"

He couldn't believe it and called back, but there were only busy lines.

speechless...

Jason held the phone and suddenly burst into laughter in a low voice.

From the beginning to the end, Sherry Lin did not ask for one time why he was lying in the hospital.

And didn't care why there was no news about him after the transfer last night.

It seemed that except for the iPhone X, Jason Qin was nothing at all.

A stranger either can live or not.

What a Beta Orbiter: hovering around the women in hopes to chosen only to find worthless to do.

When the phone in his hand was rudely taken away, Jason raised his head blankly.

"Stop the medicine, and contact the school to pay his medical fees, or call the police and send him to the detention center. I really don't know how a university student can become a rogue like this nowadays!"

After giving the order, Dr. Li left the ward. The nurse directly pulled out the needle on the back of his hand, turned off the ECG on the table, threw the bill on Jason's face, and left.

Jason had been stunned there without saying a word, staring at the dazzling number on the bill.

Over the years, he had heard much tragic news of many good-hearted people being in trouble in return.

But didn't expect that he himself would come across this.
