A foreign city, dear you

Cao Xueqian told Ye Lian Zhu Jintao's phone number, and Ye Lian was very happy. Although she had a little doubt, it passed away in a flash.

So, the two people took Lanshan and went to the bank's self-service machine to withdraw [-] yuan.

Cao Xueqian packed it in a black bag, carefully put it into his clothes, and then walked to the entrance of Dafu Shopping Mall as Zhu Jintao had agreed.

There were falling wisps of rain on the road, and the damp and cold air penetrated along the collar.

"This Zhu Jintao is so strange, why do you have to do it tonight, not tomorrow? And why go to Dafu Shopping Mall instead of Xiya Garden?" Ye Lian tightened her collar and asked Cao Xueqian.

"I don't know either. He said we would talk about it after we meet." Cao Xueqian hugged Ye Lian's shoulders tightly.

After walking for a while, we arrived at the entrance of Dafu Shopping Mall. From a distance, I saw Zhu Jintao waving to them.

The two people walked over and Zhu Jintao took them to a deserted corner.

"Did you bring the money?" Zhu Jintao asked eagerly.

"Brought it." Cao Xueqian said.

"Then give it to me and I'll give you the receipt." Zhu Jintao said straightforwardly.

"Why are you collecting money here? Shouldn't it be handed over to the finance department?" Ye Lian asked.

"The finance department has finished get off work long ago, and the sales office is also closed." Zhu Jintao explained.

"Then tomorrow is fine, why tonight?" Ye Lian asked again.

Zhu Jintao immediately expressed his sincerity: "Let me tell you, the number of places for this promotion is limited, whoever is quickest will get it.

"This is inside information. I see that you are fellow villagers, so I will tell you as soon as possible. Wait until tomorrow, and there will be no guaranteed seats. You know, I am not the only salesperson in Xiya Garden."

Zhu Jintao spoke matter-of-factly, with a very mysterious look.

Ye Lian still hesitated.

Cao Xueqian didn't take out the money either.

When I answered the phone, I thought it was a good thing, but now that I think about it, it seems a little wrong.

Zhu Jintao patted Cao Xueqian on the shoulder: "Brother, you still don't believe me? We are fellow villagers, how can I harm you? A house worth [-] yuan, I sold it to you for [-] yuan. It's not up to you. A fellow countryman?

"Now I want to get you a preferential quota, but you still doubt me? It's a waste of my good intentions. Since you don't want it, forget it."

Zhu Jintao's tone was filled with dissatisfaction.

When Zhu Jintao said this, Ye Lian was worried that she would really lose a preferential quota.

Cao Xueqian felt that he was a villain who judged a gentleman with his heart.

As soon as the two people's eyes met, they chose to believe Zhu Jintao.

"That's not what I meant. I just wanted to ask for clarification." Cao Xueqian explained, still feeling sorry for what he had just thought about.

Cao Xueqian handed the money to Zhu Jintao and asked him to click it.

Zhu Jintao simply said there was no need to order, and then handed Cao Xueqian a receipt he had already issued.

When Ye Lian saw the money handed over by Cao Xueqian, her heart couldn't help but feel a slight thump in her heart, and she vaguely felt that something was wrong.

But what Zhu Jintao said just now seems reasonable and reasonable.

It should be fine, don't have any doubts.

Besides, what a great opportunity this is, you can save a total of [-] yuan.

Ye Lian comforted herself like this.

Cao Xueqian was looking at the receipt, and Ye Lian also came over to look at it.

The receipt was no different from the one in the afternoon. It was also stamped with the red company financial seal and had the same words: Rongcan Real Estate Co., Ltd.

"How's it going? That's right, right?" Zhu Jintao put away the money with an imperceptible smile on his face.

"Well, that's right." Cao Xueqian said, feeling embarrassed again for his carelessness just now.

"When you pay the balance, take your two receipts and ask me to write a note for an advance payment of [-] yuan to [-] yuan. I will register it for you when I go to work tomorrow." Zhu Jintao explained.

"Okay, okay, thank you." Ye Lian and Cao Xueqian thanked them in unison.

"You're welcome, fellow countryman, that's right." Zhu Jintao was in a good mood.

So the two of them said goodbye to Zhu Jintao and went home with Lanshan in the heavy night rain.

In the darkness of the night, they could not see that in Zhu Jintao's triangular eyes, there was a kind of pride after succeeding in his wishful thinking.

In the next week, Ye Lian was always worried about whether Cao Xueqian could raise enough money. Whenever she showed a sad look, Cao Xueqian comforted her and said not to worry, he has everything under his control.

It's not Cao Xueqian's style to make Ye Lian worry.

If there is something, he would rather bear it alone.

Just like before, when the Shunda Factory was so difficult and stressful, he was never willing to let Ye Lian worry about him. Every time he came home, he looked relaxed as if nothing had happened.

Because he is a man and the backbone of the family.

In these days, besides work, the most important thing for Cao Xueqian is to raise money.

It was impossible for him to borrow money from relatives. He had offended his uncle and aunt last time because of Ye Lian's matter.

He was thinking about borrowing money from his colleagues in the company, and he had already thought about which colleagues to borrow money from.

Because the amount to be borrowed was relatively large and the time was tight, he was actually not sure whether he could borrow it. He somewhat realized that signing an agreement without being sure was actually a risk.

No matter what, I just had to give it a try.

The days passed by, and the one-week time limit came quickly.

Did Cao Xueqian borrow the money?

He has borrowed it!

Yes, Cao Xueqian borrowed the money! In just one week!

Cao Xueqian was moved by the friendship of his colleagues.

This was the first time he borrowed money from his colleagues in the company, and those who had some money generously donated money.

Cheng Yufei lent him [-] yuan without saying a word. Other colleagues lent him [-] yuan, [-] yuan... Even Manager Su also lent him [-] yuan after knowing the situation.

What touched him most was that Peng Peng received his salary for the first time this month. He sent a sum of money back to his family. After deducting living expenses, he wanted to lend all the remaining money to Cao Xueqian.

Cao Xueqian didn't want Peng Peng's money. He didn't want to spend Peng Peng's first month's salary.

A total of seventy thousand! Finally enough!

Fortunately, Zhu Jintao gave them the benefit of "[-] yuan equal to [-] yuan", which allowed him to borrow [-] yuan less.

Saturday, afternoon.

It’s time to pay the balance.

Because public security is not good, it is very dangerous to go out with a lot of money.

Cao Xueqian put a pile of money in a strong black bag, stuffed it between his coat and his lower abdomen, and then crossed his hands on his lower abdomen to protect it. Ye Lian was also on guard, and the two of them carried Lan Shan arrived at Xiya Garden with extreme caution.

Walking into the sales office, another female salesperson came forward.

"Come here with pleasure, you are..."

"We are looking for Zhu Jintao. We are here to pay the balance."

"Zhu Jintao? Zhu Jintao is not here anymore."

"Isn't it?" Cao Xueqian and Ye Lian were both surprised.
