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.
âJiang, Mr. Jiang...â Tao Tao was about to cry.
âFive hundred thousand.â Jiang Xing paused, âHow many years of salary are you planning to advance?â
âTwo years, I can pay it back in two years.â
Jiang Xing sneered and put on the face of a capitalist, then began laughing, âTeacher 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? Isnât this too much? My niece might be easy to fool, but Iâm not. If within two years my niece suddenly turns to dislike you and wants to fire you, then what will you pay with?â
âI......â
âIâm the one paying your current salary, and itâs obviously above the market rate. If I lower your salary, will you still be able to pay it back in two years?â
âI just......â
âAlso, even if I eliminate all the risk factors and lend you 500,000 yuan. Then, donât you intend to pay any interest? If I lend you money, what can you give me in return? Be reasonable.â
Tao Taoâs 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, âMr. Jiang, because Xiaoman, sheââ
âDid you get addicted because I kept talking about my niece? Are you using her to force me?â
âThatâs not what I meant.â Tao Tao bit her lip and said in tears, âIâm sorry, Mr. Jiang, Iâll figure out a solution by myself. I was out of line, please treat it as if I didnât come here today to trouble you.â
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 didnât seem that he had done anything wrong, so he ignored her and continued to work.
He just felt a bit an uneasy inside.
Jiang Xing coughed lightly, holding on to the last bit of hope, and asked, âIs this true? Youâre not lying to me, right?â
âOf course it is true! Anyway, just give it to her! Just treat it as if Iâm the one giving it, Iâll pay you back!â
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, â Uncle, can you do it? You have to do me this favor!â
âUncle wants to help you, but...â He hesitated and hesitated.
âBut what?â
âBut I already chased the person away just now.â
â...â
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.
âXiaoman, Uncle knows that Iâm wrong. My conscience canât rest easy, why donât we find your teacher together?â
Jiang Xiaoman said, âIâm afraid that she wouldnât want to see you.â
âHeavens, I really didnât do it on purpose!! Isnât the person already dying, donât hang up on the details too much!â
âFine.â 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.
