Qiao Yingzi raised her head and asked:
"Dad, what happened?"
Qiao Weidong explained while getting dressed:
"Fang Yifan's grandparents were defrauded of some money. Your uncle Fang didn't have enough money. This kid Lin Lei'er went behind your uncle's back and asked his father to borrow the money, saying that he had borrowed the money!"
"Then you agree?" Qiao Yingzi asked.
Qiao Weidong sighed:
"How is this possible, so dad is going to find your Uncle Fang to see how to help him!"
…
Qiao Weidong called Fangyuan while sitting in the car:
"Does Lao Fang have time?"
Fangyuan is also driving, but he is driving a special car because there is really nothing to do and he can't always be idle at home.
Fangyuan talked into the Bluetooth headset while driving:
"I'm driving a sports car. What's wrong? What's the matter?"
"After you finish this order, please close the software first. I'll wait for you at the same place. If I have anything to ask you!"
After speaking, Qiao Weidong hung up the phone without waiting for Fangyuan's reply.
Fangyuan was a little confused, but he still sent the passenger in the car to his destination, turned off the software, and went to the barbecue restaurant where he and Qiao Weidong often met.
As soon as he entered the door, Fangyuan looked around and found Qiao Weidong eating skewers. He immediately sat down opposite Qiao Weidong and asked:
"Old Qiao. What's the matter? You have to say it here, why can't you say it on the phone? You've delayed me from running several trains!"
Qiao Weidong opened a bottle of beer and handed it over:
"Want a bottle?"
Fangyuan refused: "Tell me what you have to say, I will also drive a sports car later!"
Fangyuan was a little anxious. After all, he had a debt of 800,000 yuan. Although the money earned by running a special car was a drop in the bucket, the little he earned was worth it.
Qiao Weidong ignored him and took a bite of roasted kidneys. He took out 500 yuan from his pocket and put it on the table:
“I’ll rent your car today, and you’ll accompany me to look at a house later!”
Fangyuan frowned when she saw "Grandpa Mao" on the table:
"Old Qiao, what do you mean? Besides, don't you have a house to live in?"
"Yes, I have a house, but I heard that you are selling it, so I plan to buy it!"
"Take the money and take me to see the house later!"
Qiao Weidong continued to eat and talk without even raising his head!
Fangyuan suddenly stood up:
"How do you know I want to sell my house?"
Qiao Weidong raised his head and pretended to be expressionless:
"You don't have to worry about how I know it. You want to sell it anyway, so you might as well sell it to me directly and save yourself an agency fee!"
Fangyuan stared at Qiao Weidong for a while, and finally realized something was wrong, and sat down dejectedly:
"Okay, Old Qiao, stop pretending. I know you want to help me, but this is not a small sum. I'm afraid I won't be able to pay you back!"
After saying that, he no longer planned to go to the sports car, so he said to the bartender, "A bottle of white wine!"
When the waiter brought the wine, Fangyuan poured a full glass and planned to drink it all in one gulp to relieve the depression in his heart.
When Qiao Weidong saw that he had been betrayed, he quickly stopped Fangyuan:
"Hey, can you still drink this liquor like this?"
Fangyuan only drank half the glass due to Qiao Weidong's obstruction. But the barbecue restaurants only serve two-and-a-half cups, and Fangyuan drank more than one or two in one sip.
So Fangyuan, who only had half a kilogram of alcohol, instantly felt a little tipsy:
"Old Qiao, how did you know that I was going to sell my house?"
Qiao Weidong told Fangyuan about Lin Lei'er's request to borrow money just now.
Fangyuan didn't say anything after listening, and drank the rest of the wine glass.
"Lao Fang, don't blame this kid. He also has good intentions. This shows that he truly regards you and Wenjie as relatives rather than relatives!" Qiao Weidong was afraid that Fangyuan would blame Lei'er.
Fangyuan sighed:
"Why should I blame Lei'er?"
"On the contrary, I am very proud. What you said to Lei'er is right. Maybe Wenjie and I will really need his help when we get old!"
"Look at Lei'er who still knows how to borrow money from you, but Fang Yifan knows how to come up with bad ideas and be clever!"
"He also asked his cousin to be a tutor. If anyone finds out, he will easily get beaten up!"
Qiao Weidong said that Lei'er's academic performance is still good, and it should not be easy to be exposed as a college student.
After saying that, Qiao Weidong didn't waste any time and took out his mobile phone to transfer 800,000 to Fangyuan.
When Fangyuan heard the beep on her phone, she picked it up and looked at it. She instantly felt that her self-esteem had been insulted and she was a little excited:
"Old Qiao, what are you doing?"
"humiliate me!"
"You have helped me enough, but Tong Wenjie and I are a little shameless when we ask you to help!"
Qiao Weidong put a peanut in his mouth and began to change the topic:
"I'm borrowing this from you. Also, stop running for a special car and go find me a place right away to open our flower, bird and fish market!"
"I really don't know what you're thinking. After struggling for half your life, you've already saved up a house and you're still selling it!"
Fangyuan was also a little reluctant:
"I don't want to sell it either. All the decorations in that house were made by Wenjie and I. We personally selected the materials. On the first day we moved in, Tong Wenjie and I were so excited that we lay in bed and stayed up all night!"
Qiao Weidong also advised Fangyuan:
"Fang Yuan, don't blame your parents. How old are they? They are already over seventy years old. Why do they make money? Isn't it because I want to help you and Wenjie alleviate some of the burden!"
"Although there are some problems with the methods!"
Fangyuan also knows this truth:
"Old Qiao, I understand everything you said, and I also know that they want to make money at such an old age just to help lighten my burden!"
"I am also very grateful to them. The main reason is that the 800,000 yuan is too big, and Tong Wenjie and I are a little breathless!"
"This is really adding insult to injury to our already poor family!"
In the end, Fangyuan even teased herself.
Qiao Weidong picked up the wine:
"Okay, Lao Fang, this time you should quickly open our flower, bird and fish market."
"Given that you have been neglecting your job every day these past few years and always skipping work to visit the flower, bird and fish market, you are considered half an industry insider, so you will definitely be able to make money. Besides, I am the one who loses, and we share the profit!"
Fangyuan also picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Qiao Weidong:
"Just do it!"
"You won't ask the leader for instructions this time?" Qiao Weidong teased Fangyuan with a smile.
Fangyuan also took advantage of the wine:
"That's it. This person still has to rely on himself. You can't always help him. If he manages this flower, bird and fish market, it can be considered a career!"
Qiao Weidong nodded:
"That's right, men still have to make the final decision on big things at home!"
Fangyuan was already a little drunk and started to pull Qiao Weidong to complain:
"Old Qiao, what do you think happened in the past six months? Why do bad things always happen every now and then! Is this the mid-life crisis?"
Qiao Weidong patted Fangyuan on the shoulder and comforted:
"Fang Yuan, you should think so, these problems have been exposed, won't there be no problems after they are solved!"
Fangyuan complained about Qiao Weidong:
"Old Qiao, you really don't know how to comfort people!"
Qiao Weidong took out his mobile phone and transferred another 300,000 to Fangyuan:
"Lao Fang, this money will be used as the start-up capital for the Flower, Bird and Fish Market. Let's find a place as soon as possible and try to open it before the year!"
Fangyuan did not refuse this time, called the waiter over, asked for paper and pen, and wrote an IOU of 800,000 yuan to Qiao Weidong:
"Old Qiao, keep this IOU, and I will definitely pay you back the 800,000!"
"Besides, don't worry, I'm actually not idle these days running private cars. I've paid attention to the location. That location is very suitable for the Flower Bird Fish Market!"
Qiao Weidong solemnly took the IOU and put it in his pocket. After all, one code equals the other:
"Okay, Lao Fang, I didn't expect you to be so active. It's really different from working for others to starting your own business!"
Fangyuan rolled her eyes at Qiao Weidong:
"Go away, there's no ivory coming out of a dog's mouth!"
