The dinner was very sumptuous. My father ordered the delivery of hot pot chicken + donkey meat. In the small hotel room, my parents, Li Shu, and my sister Li Yao had a meal together, eating delicious chicken. Chatting, the air is filled with the atmosphere of comfort and happiness.
After dinner, when he heard that Li Shu was looking for a lawyer, his father said: "Just find a lawyer from Tianheng Law Firm. When my father was doing business, he often cooperated with their law firm."
"Yeah." Li Shu nodded.
It was not too dark outside. After his father called the lawyer from Tianheng Law Firm, Li Shu left the hotel and took a taxi to the law firm.
Wow~
The mother opened the curtains and looked at Li Shu's leaving figure from the window. She turned back with a worried look on her face and said, "Are you going to let your son handle it alone? I'm worried..."
"What are you worried about? Haven't you noticed that our son has become much more mature and stable this time when he came back from Malaysia? It is good for young people to experience more things and exercise more." Dad said calmly.
"I, I, I... I can help big brother." The younger sister who was playing with a stuffed doll suddenly raised her little head and said in a strange way.
"Pfft~" My mother couldn't help but feel happy. She walked over and touched the little girl's little head: "You, do you want to be so cute that you want to pay? Besides, those guys will not show mercy to anyone."
… …
Li Shu walked out of Tianheng Law Firm a few minutes after entering, along with a middle-aged lawyer "Liu Yi" wearing black-rimmed glasses.
"There are many matters sooner rather than later. I hope we can resolve them tonight. Let's pay back my second uncle's money first, and then we can make an appointment with the remaining four creditors and resolve them together." After the taxi Sitting on the seat, Li Shu looked at the night outside the car window and said.
"Don't worry, Mr. Li, I will definitely assist you with all my strength." said middle-aged lawyer Liu Yilian. In fact, he also lamented the impermanence of the world. He had known Li Shu's father Li Cen (cen second tone) for a long time. Unexpectedly, Li Shu’s father went bankrupt in the blink of an eye.
Li Shu's second uncle lived in a villa area in the east of the city. The lights of the taxi pierced the dark night. After the car stopped, Li Shu and Liu Yi got out of the car.
The security booth called the second uncle's villa and only let them go after getting permission.
"The villas in Ziyu Community are nice, with a quiet environment and flowers everywhere." Liu Yi said.
"Well, the smaller apartment is only about 2 million, which is pretty good compared to the building." Li Shu also nodded, and the two of them walked through the gravel path illuminated by the dim street lights. There were countless small insects in the flower beds on both sides. In the rustling chirping, quiet and peaceful.
The second uncle is the cousin of Grandpa Li Shu, that is, the second uncle's father and the grandfather's father are brothers. This blood relationship is not too far away.
"Come in quickly, I'm waiting for you in the study." The rich nanny opened the door for Li Shu and Li Shu.
"Thank you Aunt Wen."
The two of them walked up the stairs to the second floor, and when they came to the study room, they found the gray-haired second uncle reading under the lamp. A fat, pig-like white cat lay leisurely on the table, stretching out its furry cheeks mischievously from time to time. Use her little paws to cover the words on the book.
"Xiaoshu is here? Sit down quickly." The second uncle stretched out his hand to guide him.
There are bookshelves around the study room, and there is only a lamp on the desk in the room, which makes it look a bit dark.
"Hello, second uncle, hello, big white cat." Li Shu and Liu Yi moved chairs and sat across from the second uncle.
"Meow~" The big white cat, which was so fat that his neck could not be seen, turned back to glance at Li Shu, then turned back and ignored him. It was obvious that it was not interested in Li Shu.
"People are prone to misfortunes and fortunes, and the sky is full of unexpected events. Just be open-minded when encountering problems." The second uncle put away the book and gently stroked the big white cat's hair with his hand with a purple jade finger ring. The latter narrowed his eyes happily and purred. Purr ~ makes a sound that expresses pleasure.
"Yes, I understand, second uncle."
"I heard that you went to Malaysia before. How was the situation there?"
"It's not bad. Although there are some differences in eating habits and language habits, because there are so many Chinese..."
The second uncle did not talk about money. Instead, like an elder caring about the younger generation, he asked about Li Shu and Li Shu's parents and gave some suggestions of his own.
The chat lasted for more than half an hour. When he knew that Li Shu was here to pay back the money, he seemed very surprised. It seemed that he did not expect that Li Shu's parents could raise the money so quickly.
"We are all family members, so there is no need to worry about my money. If you have other uses, you can use them first."
"No, no, no." Li Shu shook his head, "It is precisely because he is one of his own that he has to pay it back quickly. He cannot cheat his own family. As for other people, they have to wait in line..."
The second uncle glanced at Li Shu in surprise. He suddenly felt that what Li Shu said made sense, and a glimmer of approval appeared in his eyes: "Haha, well, I found that you are much better than your father. If you, You will never be tricked so miserably.”
Li Shu lowered his head slightly and said softly: "My dad just pays too much attention to brotherhood."
Liu Yi took out two contracts from his briefcase, and the second uncle called his lawyer. His father had previously borrowed 15 million from the second uncle, and it would be exactly two years as of mid-July this year.
The second uncle was determined not to want interest and asked Li Shu to only give him 15 million principal. However, Li Shu still paid the interest at an annual interest rate of 5%. If he paid it directly for 2 years, the interest alone would be 1.5 million.
A total of 16.5 million including principal and interest.
After leaving the second uncle's villa, Li Shu and Liu Yi walked along the stone road in the villa community. The moonlight was bright, and endless clear light spread to the world.
"It's already 12:30. Let's go and find a place to prepare to meet the other four creditors." Li Shu said with a faint smile. He felt relaxed now because the second uncle was much easier to talk to than he thought.
Before he came, he had been prepared for the second uncle to be aggressive. After all, strictly speaking, his father Li Cen had screwed the second uncle into a trap—15 million was almost completely wasted.
I'm afraid the second uncle will suffer from insomnia all night long. After all, 15 million can buy 10 to 15 100-square-meter houses in Cangshi, which is a huge sum of money.
Li Shu and Liu Yi took a taxi to the Jinfeng Hotel and directly swiped their credit card worth 12,000 yuan to get a presidential suite.
"Please come quickly." The presidential suite is equipped with a housekeeper wearing a black suit. She took Li Shu and Liu Yi around the 300-square-meter presidential suite.
"You go to the first floor to receive the reception. Four local bosses who want debts will come later. If they come, you will take them to this presidential suite." Li Shu was very satisfied with the room and used gold as the color. The Lord's house looks full of pride, which is also a demonstration of strength.
The housekeeper looked embarrassed. She suddenly realized that Li Shu owed money to someone. However, it seemed a bit arrogant to live in the presidential suite even though he owed money to someone.
"Okay, I'll go right away." The housekeeper agreed repeatedly and then exited the room.
