"Okay, then whenever you want to come back, just say hello to me! By the way, I heard that the Yu family's company has had financial difficulties recently. Do you want me to help you please that little girl?" Kang Shaobei knows his elder brother's temper. Once he makes up his mind, no one can change it. Now that the old man has given the order, he has to help his elder brother this time.
"Are there any difficulties? What happened to the Yu family's company?" This matter was really beyond Kang Shaonan's expectations. Apart from serving in the army, he never asked about business matters.
"I can't get the money back, and I owe a lot of money. I can't make ends meet, and I don't think I can hold out for much longer!" Kang Shaobei is very similar to his father Kang Zhenguo in character, and he is also very talented in business. Because of his elder brother's relationship with Yu Xiao, he already knew everything about Yu Xiao's father's company.
"Then what are you waiting for? Get this done for me tomorrow, and you must go in person. Also, no one else can tell this except you!" His family already had a bad impression of Yu Xiao, and he didn't want them to have any complaints against her because of this.
"It's a small matter! But brother, you have to speed up and marry me, your sister-in-law, so that our parents won't urge me every day!" Kang Shaonan's marriage has been delayed. As he never had a grandson, Kang Zhenguo and his wife set their sights on their second son, Kang Shaobei, and urged him to get married every day, hoping to have a grandson soon.
"Then why don't you just get married to Yaqi?" Kang Shaonan asked in confusion.
"The company is too busy right now, how can I take care of this?" Kang Shaobei rubbed his forehead a little tiredly, looked at his elder brother and continued: "Brother, anyway, either you go back to the company to help, or marry my little sister-in-law as soon as possible, so that no one will worry."
"Okay! Then you should handle the affairs of Yu's company in advance tomorrow and make a good impression on your eldest brother. That girl dislikes me now, so don't mess things up." Among the four children in the Kang family, Kang Shaonan and Kang Shaobei have the best relationship and they often tell each other what's in their hearts.
Kang Shaobei smiled and said, "Brother, after all, I am the president of Kang Group. Don't you have confidence in me for such a small matter?"
"Then I'll wait for your news tomorrow!" After hearing his brother say this, Kang Shaonan was completely relieved. His brother was very capable.
Because of Kang Shaonan's sudden visit, Yu Xiao had a very depressing dinner when she returned home. At the dinner table, Yu Jiahou and Ren Zhiping felt a little uncomfortable looking at their daughter. The family of three ate in silence, and no one spoke. This situation was rare in the Yu family. Halfway through the meal, Yu Jiahou sighed, put down his chopsticks, looked at his depressed daughter and said, "Xiaoxiao, I thought you would have some feelings for Shaonan during the days you went to the army with him, but now it seems that you two are really not destined to be together..."
“Husband…” As if sensing that Yu Jiahou wanted to give up this marriage, Ren Zhiping reminded her husband unwillingly.
The marriage between my daughter and Kang Shaonan, regardless of the interests of their own company, will definitely only benefit my daughter's future life. Although my daughter has a temper because of the couple's spoiling, she knows Yu Xiao, she is a filial child. If they insist a little longer, my daughter will definitely compromise.
Her father's words gave Yu Xiao a glimmer of hope for her love. She blinked and looked at her father with some expectation in her eyes.
Maybe this time, Dad really thought it through!
Yu Jiahou raised his hand and made a gesture to stop his wife, then looked at his daughter and continued, "Xiaoxiao, it's been almost two years since you graduated from college. Although you have changed several companies in these two years, you have also received some training. Now that you have grown up, you can make your own decisions on some things, and it's time to share some pressure for the family. From tomorrow on, you should find a regular company to work for!" Yu Jiahou paused here, took out a stack of hundred-yuan bills from his pocket and put it in front of his daughter: "This is one thousand yuan! It is also your pocket money for next month. This is the last time Dad will give you pocket money, and there will be no more in the future. Also, since you don't want to, we will not mention your marriage with Shaonan anymore." After Yu Jiahou finished speaking, he stood up, turned around and walked into his study tiredly.
Yu Xiao looked at the thousand yuan in front of her, then looked at her father's figure. She bit her lip and didn't know what to do for a moment. What her father said just now was obviously good news to her, but why did she feel sad
"Xiaoxiao, your father's company owes the bank a lot of money, and there are still three days left." Ren Zhiping looked around the living room and finally fixed her eyes on her daughter's face. She smiled bitterly and said, "If we don't pay the bank back in three days, we will have to move out of this house."
"Mom, how much money does Dad's company owe the bank?" Yu Xiao knew that Dad's company hadn't been doing well recently, but she didn't expect this to happen. She held her mother's hand tightly and asked. The few good friends she knew were all rich people, and maybe they could help her family.
"Two million!" Ren Zhiping sighed and shook his head.
"Two million? So much?" Yu Xiao opened his eyes wide in surprise.
The Yu family's company is neither big nor small. Some of the debts are owed by themselves, and some are owed by others. If all the debts are recovered, perhaps the two million can be almost paid off. However, the boss of one of the companies ran away with all the company's money because of the company's financial crisis. As a result, the Yu family's company suddenly fell into a difficult situation. The deficit of two million became a huge debt for the Yu family.
"Your dad has been borrowing money from everywhere during this period, hoping to pay back the money. But it happened to be the time of the financial crisis, so everyone is having a hard time. There are only three days left, and I guess there is no hope. Starting tomorrow, you should go out and find a job! Mom is a little tired, so I'll go back to my room first." Ren Zhiping stood up, patted her daughter's shoulder, and went back to the bedroom with a slightly unsteady step.
Yu Xiao's mouth twitched violently at her mother's words. She wanted to say something comforting, but she couldn't utter a word for a long time. Yu Xiao, who had been spoiled by her parents since she was a child, felt a deep sense of self-blame for the first time in her heart.
What should she do
Yu Xiao returned to her bedroom in a depressed mood. Her parents' words just now made her feel like an unfilial daughter. She took out her cell phone and wanted to call Luo Yi, but after hesitating for a long time, she put the phone back. If she really called him, what would she tell him? Tell him that her family's company was going to go bankrupt due to the economic crisis? His mother was already seriously ill and hospitalized. He was exhausted at this time, and even when he spoke on the phone, he was tired. She couldn't add unnecessary troubles to him at this time.
Lying in bed, Yu Xiao tossed and turned. Although she knew nothing about Kang Shaonan, she still knew a little about the situation of the Kang family. I heard that the Kang family had a big company. If she really married Kang Shaonan, her father's company would be saved. But that was her lifelong happiness. She couldn't sacrifice her love and future life for two million. No matter what, she had to fight!
Yu Xiao sat up from the bed, took her phone and started looking for her friend's number. An An's father had a clothing trading company, which had been exporting clothes to Korea, Japan and some European and American countries. She remembered that she had been to the company once, which was twice as big as hers. Two million shouldn't be a difficult thing for An An's family, right
"An An, it's me!" Yu Xiao had never asked anyone for money before, and this was such a large amount at the first request. She was a little scared, but things had come to this point, and she couldn't care less.
"Xiaoxiao, where have you been these two days? Did you elope with Luo Yi?" An An knew everything about Yu Xiao and Luo Yi. As soon as the phone was connected, she smiled and started making jokes about the two of them.
"An An, I'm in big trouble this time, you have to help me!"
"What's the trouble?"
"Do you remember Kang Shaonan?"
"Remember! Don't your parents want you to marry him?"
"He tricked me into joining the army these past two days, and I just came back today!"
"No way? How could a grown-up like you be kidnapped? You wouldn't just follow Uncle Kang because he gave you a lollipop?" An An couldn't help laughing when she heard about her friend.
"I'm in dire straits now, and you're still smiling! Are you my good friend?" Yu Xiao pouted and crossed her legs on the bed angrily.
"Okay, I won't laugh! Tell me first, why are you in such a hot water?"
"I just found out when we were having dinner tonight that my father's company owes two million in foreign debt. If I don't marry Kang Shaonan, my father's company will probably go bankrupt. If I marry Kang Shaonan, they will use the money to help my father's company tide over the difficulties. But that man is ten years older than me, and he is so black-bellied. Most importantly, I don't like him. If I marry him, will I have a good life in the future? So, you have to help me!"
"Okay, tell me, how can I help you?"
"Can you... ask your father to lend us two million for a while? Don't worry, as long as the debt outside is paid back, we will pay it back to you immediately!"
"Oh my god! You mean you want me to borrow two million from my dad? This... is really difficult..." An An couldn't believe her ears. Two million was not a small amount. If she really asked for it, wouldn't her father eat her up given her personality
"An An, can you please help me? I really have no other choice. Are you just going to watch me fall into the fire pit without saving me? An An..." Yu Xiao choked up as she spoke. If her good friend didn't help her, she would really have no way out.
"Okay, okay! Xiaoxiao, don't cry. I'll go and beg my dad to help you no matter what!" An An's heart softened when she heard Yu Xiao sobbing. (To be continued)
