Bad Debts

People can pledge things they don't have - life span, name, a memory, other people's impression of you, pain, luck, and even a shadow. The institution is called a clearing house, and the private sector is called C. The daily interest rate is seven ten thousandths. Fourteen days after the due date, the collateral itself will be removed. It will not disappear but will be resold. Qiao Chi, 29 years old, is the night shift manager of a convenience store. His other identity is field collection clerk C-14. He smoothed the accounts for others, but his own account was always accruing interest - his father signed C-0007 seventeen years ago, and the collateral column was filled with "Qiao Chi's Complete Childhood." Everything before he was seven years old was completely blank. A person who lives by collecting debts from others is himself a bad debt that can never be settled.
