Xiao Lu rushed over anxiously, “How was it?”
Zhang Ye did some calculations and said, “I have tens of thousands, so with that one million, I’m lacking about 40 to 50 thousand. Everyone, can you lend me a bit? I’ll return it to you once the salary is paid. If this month isn’t enough, I’ll pay in installments.” He did not have a credit card, so that was the only way he could do so. There was no other way.
Dafei said in surprise, “A million? Impossible. I heard the estimate given by other cooperating merchants that other than the cut from the television station, as the original creator, you should get at least 1.3-1.4 million in copyright royalties.”
Hu Fei said, “That was for two of the rights. Even the right to broadcast has been sold!”
“It’s all been sold? And all of that for a million? Teacher Zhang, are you dumb!?” Hou Ge could not take it any further, “This is not some pittance; how can you sell it so cheaply!?”
Zhang Ye said calmly, “Is a human life more important, or is money more important? Saving a life is more urgent; I can’t care about anything else!”
Xiao Lu could not help but curse, “That Wang Shuixin! He’s too wicked!”
Dafei was also angered, “He even wants to scam the surgery fees for saving a life? Does he even have a heart? Isn’t he afraid of going to Hell after he dies?”
Hu Fei immediately opened his online banking, “Little Zhang, give me your account. Don’t say anything else; I’ll pay the remaining 50,000. You don’t have to pay it back. Treat it as a donation from me.”
Zhang Ye resolutely said, “Then I wouldn’t want it. She is my fan, and this is also my business. I can’t take your money. I’ll treat it as a loan and will slowly repay it.”
In the afternoon, Zhang Ye signed the contract.
Wang Shuixin did not guarantee when the money would reach Zhang Ye, so Zhang Ye went to Finance and urged them five to six times.
The Finance department was quite reasonable and knew Zhang Ye needed the money urgently to save a life, so they made an exception.
Finally, Zhang Ye managed to raise 1.1 million before getting off work. Without hesitation, he rushed to the hospital and settled Yang Lian’s surgical fees!
