A Lot of Money (1)
Jiang Xing stopped what he was doing and raised his eyes to look at Tao Tao, his eyes full of interest.
“Jiang, Mr. Jiang…” Tao Tao was about to cry.
“Five hundred thousand.” Jiang Xing paused, “How many years of salary are you planning to advance?”
“Two years, I can pay it back in two years.”
Jiang Xing sneered and put on the face of a capitalist, then began laughing, “Teacher Tao, my niece really likes you and is very happy to study with you. But… just now when you opened your mouth, you said you want five hundred thousand? Isn’t this too much? My niece might be easy to fool, but I’m not. If within two years my niece suddenly turns to dislike you and wants to fire you, then what will you pay with?”
“I……”
“I’m the one paying your current salary, and it’s obviously above the market rate. If I lower your salary, will you still be able to pay it back in two years?”
“I just……”
“Also, even if I eliminate all the risk factors and lend you 500,000 yuan. Then, don’t you intend to pay any interest? If I lend you money, what can you give me in return? Be reasonable.”
Tao Tao’s eyes were red.
She gritted her teeth as her head felt buzzing. She felt wronged and uncomfortable. She really wanted to cry, but crying was useless.
Tao Tao sobbed silently, and said in a shivering voice, “Mr. Jiang, because Xiaoman, she–”
“Did you get addicted because I kept talking about my niece? Are you using her to force me?”
“That’s not what I meant.” Tao Tao bit her lip and said in tears, “I’m sorry, Mr. Jiang, I’ll figure out a solution by myself. I was out of line, please treat it as if I didn’t come here today to trouble you.”
After saying that, Tao Tao ran out while crying.
Jiang Xing hesitated for a while, feeling that he had made a girl cry so miserably. It made him look like the bad person, but after he thought about it, it didn’t seem that he had done anything wrong, so he ignored her and continued to work.
He just felt a bit an uneasy inside.
Very uneasy.
He took the file on his desk and sighed deeply.
Before long, his phone rang. It was Jiang Xiaoman’s number.
“Hey Xiaoman, what’s up, what’s up? Uncle is at work.”
Jiang Xiaoman’s voice sounded a little distorted, but it was still very sweet. “Uncle, did Teacher Tao come to you just now?”
Teacher Tao? What did she suddenly mention her?
Jiang Xing frowned and said calmly, “She hasn’t come yet, what’s wrong?”
“Oh, if she comes in a while, no matter what she asks, you have to agree.”
“Huh?” Jiang Xing felt that things were not simple. “What do you mean? I have to agree to any request?”
“Yes.” Jiang Xiaoman paused for a while, “Uncle, why are you so nervous?”
“This… I have to agree no matter what request it is? Like, if she wanted to borrow money, a lot of money, I have to agree?”
“Yes.” Jiang Xiaoman noticed that something was wrong, and immediately lowered her voice and asked, “Uncle, don’t lie to me. Teacher Tao already came, didn’t she?”
“…” Jiang Xing became silent.
At first, he felt that Tao Tao was someone with bad intentions who coaxed his niece and led her around, telling Xiaoman to coax him into giving her money. But when he thought about it again, it had only ever been Xiaoman who was able to coax people around. How could ordinary people fool her?
If it was like this, then Xiaoman was probably the mastermind, and Tao Tao was only the spearhead.
Jiang Xing felt the situation going worse, so he asked calmly, “Xiaoman, tell Uncle honestly, are you having some bad ideas? Did you instigate your teacher to come and ask me for money? Are you out of money, what did you do with the money I gave you?”
Xiaoman grew anxious with the barrage of questions. She explained, “No! I originally wanted to lend the money to Teacher. Someone in her family is sick and dying, and I wanted to help her. But Teacher said that it would be a huge sum of money and my money wouldn’t be enough, so I told her to go to borrow it from you.”
“Five… five hundred thousand? That much money?”
“Was it half a million? I don’t know. She only said that it was a lot of money, so I thought only Uncle could solve it.”
Jiang Xing coughed lightly, holding on to the last bit of hope, and asked, “Is this true? You’re not lying to me, right?”
“Of course it is true! Anyway, just give it to her! Just treat it as if I’m the one giving it, I’ll pay you back!”
Oh, Jiang Xiaoman, how rich and powerful!
Jiang Xing rolled his eyes, clasped his fingers on the table uneasily, and said nothing for a while.
Jiang Xiaoman asked, ” Uncle, can you do it? You have to do me this favor!”
“Uncle wants to help you, but…” He hesitated and hesitated.
“But what?”
“But I already chased the person away just now.”
“…”
Jiang Xiaoman hung up the phone.
She felt that her uncle was too unreliable and so she decided to go herself.
Jiang Xiaoman went out on her bicycle. She estimated that right now, Teacher Tao should be in the hospital, so she went straight there.
On the way there, Jiang Xiaoman received a call from Jiang Xing.
“Xiaoman, Uncle knows that I’m wrong. My conscience can’t rest easy, why don’t we find your teacher together?”
Jiang Xiaoman said, “I’m afraid that she wouldn’t want to see you.”
“Heavens, I really didn’t do it on purpose!! Isn’t the person already dying, don’t hang up on the details too much!”
“Fine.” Jiang Xiaoman told him the address of the hospital, then hung up.
Jiang Xing drove a car, so he was faster than Jiang Xiaoman. When Jiang Xiaoman arrived, Jiang Xing was already waiting at the entrance of the hospital.
