Volume 3 Comprehensive Film and Television Chapter 137 Yuan Xudong Returns to Shanghai
"Amei, I think it would be a good idea for you to talk to the landlord and ask him to refund your rent first, and then you can move to the company dormitory. Wouldn't that save you several thousand yuan in rent?"
"Mom, have you ever considered my feelings when you say this? My brother and sister-in-law have hands and feet and don't work to earn money. I gave them the down payment for their house, and I have to figure out how to pay the monthly mortgage. Now they want me to help them with their family's living expenses. I'm just an employee, not a big boss. Do you have to force me to be a mistress?"
"Amei, it's not that mom forces you, but I have no choice. Your dad and I can't just watch their family starve, right? Lei Lei is still so young, he is the only grandson of our Fan family, what if he gets hungry? You must have a way, just give me another 3,000 yuan, can you think of a solution?"
"Mom, what can I do? I only have a little over 1,000 yuan now, and I only have two meals of instant noodles a day. Where can I find 3,000 yuan to send you?"
"Amei, how about this? You can borrow 3,000 yuan from your colleagues at the company. If they are unwilling to lend it to you, you can borrow from your friends or classmates. There will definitely be someone willing to lend it to you!"
"Mom, I don't have to pay back the money I borrowed? Over the years, my friends and classmates have been scared of me borrowing money from them. Now they don't even dare to answer my phone calls. Who would be willing to lend me money? How about this, you let my brother sell some things, and I'll send you the money back as soon as I get paid next month, okay?"
"No, you can't sell the things at home. If you sell them, your sister-in-law will be very angry. What if she wants to divorce your brother? Lei Lei is still so young, he can't live without his mother!"
"Mom, you're worried about my sister-in-law and my brother getting divorced, and you're worried about Lei Lei not having a mother. Have you ever worried about me? I'm already 30 years old, and I don't even have a boyfriend. Have you ever worried about me?"
"Then you can find a boyfriend. Your brother found your sister-in-law. You are already 30 years old, so just find a man to marry. The betrothal gift must be 300,000 yuan. You can decide the other conditions yourself. Your father and I will have no objection."
"Mom, just find a random man to marry. Why do you want a dowry of 300,000? Are you going to sell your daughter? Your daughter is not a lady from a wealthy family. She can't be sold for so much money. Besides, with my family conditions and five burdens behind me, which man would dare to marry me ?"
"Amei, I won't talk to you anymore. Lei Lei is hungry. I need to borrow some milk powder from next door. You must think of a way. Send the money back within three days. Otherwise, you will come back to collect our bodies!"
After the phone call was hung up, Fan Shengmei's face was full of miserable smiles. She wanted to cry but had no tears. She wanted to abandon her family who would only drag her down, but she could not bear to do it. She could only let them bite her neck and slowly suck her blood and eat her flesh, or even drain her marrow from her bones. She only had an income of 10,000 yuan a month, but had to support a family of six including herself.
Just as she was lost in thought, a cell phone rang. Fan Shengmei couldn't help but shiver, and the phone fell to the floor. She quickly picked up the phone and looked at it, and there was a crack on the screen.
Fan Shengmei shed tears as she turned on her cell phone screen. It was a balance reminder from China Mobile. The account balance was insufficient, so a credit line of ten yuan would be activated. She turned off her cell phone and couldn't help laughing. When she was unlucky, even her cell phone bullied her. She was crying and laughing at the same time. She didn't even know whether she should cry or laugh!
Outside the room, Qiu Yingying put her ear to Fan Shengmei's door and listened for a while, then she pulled Guan Juer into her room, closed the door, looked at Guan Juer and whispered:
"Guan Guan, I heard Sister Fan crying and laughing at the same time. Is she stimulated?"
“Hmm~~”
Nodding slightly, Guan Juer adjusted her glasses and said affirmatively:
"Sister Fan must have encountered some difficulties. Her mother called her. Maybe something happened at home and she couldn't help. She could only hide in her room crying and laughing."
Hearing Guan Juer say this, Qiu Yingying nodded slightly and said:
"Then can we help Sister Fan?"
"No, you mustn't let it slip!"
Guan Juer quickly stopped Qiu Yingying and said:
"Sister Fan is such a strong person. She hid in the house and cried because she didn't want others to know her difficulties. Besides, the two of us can't even take care of ourselves, and we have to ask for money from our family every month. How can we help Sister Fan?"
"You're right. We can't even take care of ourselves. Even if Sister Fan, who is so capable, can't solve the problem, we two can't help even if we want to!"
After thinking for a while with her hands folded across her chest, Qiu Yingying's eyes lit up and she said:
"Guan Guan, how about we ask Mr. Yuan to help Sister Fan when we have dinner tomorrow night? He is so capable, he must be able to help Sister Fan!"
"Yingying, could you please stop giving blind advice?"
After glaring at Qiu Yingying, Guan Juer pouted and said:
"We have only met Mr. Yuan once. Why should he help us?"
Hearing Guan Juer say this, Qiu Yingying looked at her and said as a matter of course:
"Didn't Sister Fan say that? Mr. Yuan invited us to dinner because he wanted to woo both of us. If he likes me, I'll be his girlfriend. Can't I ask him to help me a little? If he likes you, wouldn't you be willing to be his girlfriend?"
"I don't know either!"
Guan Juer shook her head slightly, thought for a while and said hesitantly:
"Mr. Yuan is so rich and handsome, but he is just too rich and has such a good temperament. I still feel it is unreal, like a dream. Have you heard the story of Cinderella?"
"I know, I know!"
Qiu Yingying said excitedly:
"I heard the story of Cinderella when I was a child. Mr. Yuan is the prince, and the two of us are Cinderella, right?"
"Yes, Yingying is really smart!"
Guan Juer squinted her eyes and said happily:
"We are both Cinderellas without crystal shoes. What if the prince doesn't like us anymore?"
Hearing Guan Juer say this, Qiu Yingying pinched her chin and thought for a while, then her eyes lit up and she said:
"I know. My mother once said that if a woman wants to capture a man's heart, she should give birth to a child with him. As long as there is a baby, the man will be obedient. My father is like this. He listens to my mother in everything. If she tells him to go east, he dares not go west. If she tells him to chase a chicken, he dares not chase a dog!"
Seeing Qiu Yingying standing there dancing and performing the game of chasing chickens and dogs, Guan Juer covered her mouth and laughed:
"My dad is the same. As soon as my mom gets angry, he dares not speak!"
"Yes, Mr. Yuan must be like this too. Men are all paper tigers. As long as you are not afraid of him, he will be scared!"
Qiu Yingying naturally came to the conclusion she wanted.
Guan Juer adjusted her glasses, thought for a while, looked at Qiu Yingying and said anxiously:
"But I'm different from my mother. If she gets angry, I won't dare to speak loudly. If Mr. Yuan stood in front of me, I would definitely not dare to look him in the eye!"
"Guan Guan, why are you the same as me? If Mr. Yuan stood in front of me, I wouldn't know where to put my hands. If he told me that he liked me, I would be so nervous that I would pass out!"
Qiu Yingying held Guan Juer's hands and agreed.
Before Guan Juer could continue to say anything, Fan Shengmei's voice rang out from outside the room:
"Guan Guan, little earthworm, are you in there?"
"I'm here, Sister Fan, are you done with your call?"
"Now that we're done, come out quickly. Sister Fan will take you out shopping. Buy each of you a new set of clothes. Tomorrow night, dress up beautifully and let Mr. Yuan see the two most beautiful and lovely little flowers on our twenty-second floor!"
Hearing Fan Shengmei's usual voice, Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer looked at each other, warning each other not to let the cat out of the bag, and then opened the door and walked out. Seeing Fan Shengmei in a black dress and sunglasses, Qiu Yingying said in a daze:
"Sister Fan, are you going out dressed like this?"
"Why, can't I?"
Fan Shengmei held her bag in one hand and put her other hand on her waist as she walked along the catwalk:
"Don't those men like my mature and sexy body? I let them only look but not eat, they deserve it!"
"Sister Fan, as long as you are happy!"
Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer looked at each other, then picked up their backpacks and followed Fan Shengmei. The three women walked out of Room 2202 and went towards the elevator. When the elevator door opened, Andy and Qu Xiaoxiao, who lived on the 22nd floor, came out.
Seeing Fan Shengmei dressed in sexy clothes and taking Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer out so late, Qu Xiaoxiao moved the cat food she bought while making indirect accusations:
"Some people, not only don't learn well themselves, but also try to lead children astray. I can't stand it!"
"Qu Xiaoxiao, what are you talking about?"
Knowing that Qu Xiaoxiao had a prejudice against Fan Shengmei and deliberately mocked Fan Shengmei, Qiu Yingying immediately glared at her and explained:
"Someone invited me and Guan Guan to have dinner at the Hilton Hotel tomorrow. I asked Sister Fan to buy new clothes for me and Guan Guan. Don't let your imagination run wild!"
"Hilton?"
After rolling her eyes at the silly Qiu Yingying, Qu Xiaoxiao looked at Fan Shengmei and said sarcastically:
"Sister Fan, are you going to take your two little sisters to the Hilton to try to get the best? Don't blame me for not reminding you. Be careful not to try to try to get the best but get squeezed instead. It's best to investigate the other person's family background before having a meal with him. Nowadays, anyone dares to take a little girl to the Hilton for a meal and then book a room upstairs at night. For one adult and two children, isn't that too cost-effective?"
"Qu Xiaoxiao, stop talking!"
After rolling his eyes at Qu Xiaoxiao, Andy looked at Fan Shengmei and advised:
"Sister Fan, what Qu Xiaoxiao said was unpleasant to hear, but it also made sense. Guan Guan and Ying Ying are still immature, and you are their eldest sister, so it is better to be cautious."
"Andy, since Xiaoqiu and Guanguan call me Sister Fan, then I have the responsibility to protect them both. Don't worry, I, Fan Shengmei, will never do anything to hurt my sisters!"
Fan Shengmei looked at Andy and explained, then glanced at Qu Xiaoxiao and said:
"Qu Xiaoxiao, thank you for your reminder. Mr. Yuan is someone that Xiao Qiu and Guan Guan know on their own. I would never . As for Mr. Yuan's background, we are not as resourceful as you. We just searched it on Sogou.
His name is Yuan Xudong, he is the vice president of Jingyan Group and Hongyuan Group, he should be richer than your family, if you want to help Xiaoqiu and Guanguan, you can use your connections to investigate, bye!"
Seeing Fan Shengmei walk into the elevator, Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer said hello to Andy and Qu Xiaoxiao and followed them in. After they left, Qu Xiaoxiao looked at Andy, blinked and smiled:
"Andy, did I hear you right? Sister Fan used Sogou to investigate other people's backgrounds. What kind of operation is this?"
"Sister Fan is just an ordinary employee. She doesn't have her own information channels, so she can only do a simple investigation on the Internet. If the other party is a well-known figure, she can still find out some details."
Andy explained simply.
"Who would put their personal details online? Even if they are well-known, as long as they do a good job of public relations and confidentiality, how could there be any negative information about them online?"
As Qu Xiaoxiao spoke, she involuntarily took out her phone and searched the information Fan Shengmei had given her. Then she slightly widened her eyes and looked at Andy and said:
"Andy, can you help me take a look? Isn't this too exaggerated?"
Hearing what Qu Xiaoxiao said, Andy took the phone and glanced at Yuan Xudong's resume, then frowned and said:
"Although it's a bit exaggerated, his existence is reasonable. Didn't it say so above? He seems to have the support of a multinational consortium. His fortune is indeed a bit fast, but it's not impossible!"
"Andy, what are you talking about?"
Qu Xiaoxiao walked up to Andy and pointed at Yuan Xudong's photo and said:
"How come you read things so quickly? I just saw a photo, and it's so handsome, is it photoshopped?"
"Qu Xiaoxiao, I find that you are really different from others. Your thinking process is different from that of ordinary people. I am going back now. You can study slowly by yourself. Bye!"
After returning the phone to Qu Xiaoxiao, Andy shook his head and walked towards his room 2201. Seeing her leave him alone, Qu Xiaoxiao took a look at the cat food at her feet and cried loudly:
"Andy, help me move the cat food before you leave. I can't carry it by myself!"
Andy unlocked the combination lock of Room 2201, opened the door, turned around, glanced at the cat food that must have weighed no more than ten kilograms at Qu Xiaoxiao's feet, and said with a smile:
"Good night!"
“It’s boring!”
Seeing Andy closing the door to rest, Qu Xiaoxiao walked towards Room 2203 with the cat food she bought while browsing Yuan Xudong's personal information on Sogou Browser. After she walked into Room 2203 and put down the cat food, she called her good friend Yao Bin and said:
"Yao Bin, help me investigate someone!"
"Who is it?"
"His name is Yuan Xudong. He is the vice president, major shareholder, director, etc. of Jingyan Group and Hongyuan Group. He looks quite impressive. Please help me find out if he is married, has a girlfriend, or a mistress. Anyway, the more gossip, the better!"
"Qu Xiaoxiao, did he offend you?"
"No, he wanted to hook up with my neighbor, I was just checking for them!"
"Qu Xiaoxiao, he is a tycoon, and we are just ordinary second-generation rich people. It's okay to play with ordinary people, but if you really offend such a person, we can't afford it. I took a quick look, his assets are more than 20 billion, and even a small amount is richer than your family. Are you sure you want me to investigate such a person?"
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Can't you just arrange for someone to investigate secretly and not let him know?"
"Okay, I'll do my best!"
"Waiting for your good news!"
"What if he doesn't have gossip?"
"Nonsense, he's so rich, what else can he do if not play with women? My dad has several women, how can a billionaire like him keep himself clean? Please use your brain to think carefully, if a rich man doesn't like women, either he has a physical problem or a mental problem, this is more terrible than playing with women, okay?"
"Okay, I got it, bye!"
"Bye-Bye!"
…
The next day, at Shanghai Airport, Yuan Xudong, Wang Manni, and Zhong Xiaoqin walked out of the airport, followed closely by Xu Huanshan, Gu Jia, and Xu Ziyan. Yuan Xudong looked at Xu Huanshan and his family and smiled:
"Mr. Xu, Gu Jia, and Zi Yan's godson, we are leaving first. We will go out and play together again when we have the chance. Bye!"
"Godfather, godmother, and beautiful aunt, bye!"
"Zi Yan, bye!"
"Bye-Bye!"
Hearing Yuan Xudong calling his son Xu Ziyan his godson, Xu Huanshan forced a smile and said hello. After Yuan Xudong led Wang Manni and Zhong Xiaoqin away in the car, he looked at Gu Jia and frowned:
"Who asked Zi Yan to recognize him as his godfather?"
"He is with Xiaoqin. Xiaoqin is Ziyan's godmother. Doesn't he mean Ziyan's godfather?"
After looking at Xu Huanshan, Gu Jia frowned slightly and said:
"Mr. Yuan is rich and powerful. There are only benefits and no harm for our son to recognize him as his godfather. Don't you agree?"
"Of course I don't agree!"
Xu Huanshan looked at Gu Jia, who looked like she took it for granted, and asked:
"Gu Jia, I think you have changed. What's wrong with him being rich and powerful? Our family doesn't need his money and power. He has a bad character. My son doesn't need such a godfather!"
"If it weren't for Mr. Yuan's money and influence, would our fireworks company be able to develop as healthily as it is now?"
Gu Jia looked at Xu Huanshan and said in a dissatisfied tone:
"If you really don't want Zi Yan to recognize him as his godfather, why don't you refuse him in person? What's the point of you getting angry with me here after he leaves? As for his character, as long as he doesn't interfere with our family, why do you care so much?"
"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything and let's go back!"
Xu Huanshan walked to the side of the road and stopped a taxi. While he was moving the luggage into the trunk, Gu Jia took Xu Ziyan into the back seat of the taxi and put Xu Ziyan aside. Gu Jia's knuckles turned white as she pinched her cell phone.
The screen displayed Lin Youyou's photo and related information, even the brand of perfume she liked to use was recorded. Seeing Xu Huanshan finished moving his luggage and prepared to get in the car, Gu Jia took a last look at Lin Youyou's photo and deleted the information.
After Xu Huanshan sat in the passenger seat and told the driver to rush to Junyuefu community, Gu Jia hesitated for a moment, then turned on her phone again and sent a message to Yuan Xudong.
"Thank you, Mr. Yuan. I hope you can keep it a secret for me!"
"good!"
