Chapter 241 It felt like ants were crawling all over my body
On Wang Ye's first day at work, the manager gave him a list containing the loan amounts and repayment dates for each person.
He had to call people one by one to ask them to repay their loans. He made calls every single day. If he encountered someone with a good personality, they would say some nice things and ask him to be lenient. But if he encountered someone with a bad temper, they would just start cursing.
Wang Ye recalled the first day, the first phone call he made, and how the person on the other end said as soon as the call connected:
"Shut up, sir! If I had the money, would I not pay it back? Would I be here listening to your nagging? I don't have time right now, go ahead and urge me at another time. When I was lending money, you were still a baby, and you called yourself the legal manager... you're nothing but a piece of trash."
"Stop talking nonsense! I can't pay back the money right now, and I don't have a home either. What other tricks do you have up your sleeve? I'm hanging up!"
This one phone call completely baffled Wang Ye, leaving him questioning his existence for the past few days at work.
Just now, he made another phone call to Bai Yi. After introducing himself, Bai Yi seemed to recognize his voice and asked if he was Qiao Xing's cousin.
The two started chatting, and Wang Ye learned that Bai Yi was Qiao Xing's colleague and that they had met before.
She asked Wang Ye to extend the payment by a few days, saying many kind words. However, Wang Ye, out of consideration for her relationship with Qiao Xing, couldn't force her to repay the debt, so he could only call Qiao Xing to ask.
Qiao Xing never expected that Wang Ye would actually go and work for a debt collection company.
"You..." Qiao Xing didn't know what to say to him.
"Oh, please don't criticize me. How was I supposed to know they'd pressure me like this? I've been calling them so many times these past few days that my lips are practically blistered. I was thinking of quitting, but I have to wait a month before I can quit, otherwise I'll have to pay a penalty. So I guess I'll just have to stick it out for another month."
Qiao Xing twitched the corner of her mouth. Jiang Wang didn't seem reliable at all. You could tell from the groomsmen he found before. Sure enough, the high-paying job he found for Wang Ye was also unreliable.
Wang Ye was also blinded by greed; he was tempted by the promise of a base salary of 10,000 yuan plus high commissions.
Once I started working there, I realized that there's no such thing as a free lunch. These debtors were all seasoned veterans, and getting my money back was practically impossible.
"You just said Bai Yi owes money, how much does she owe?"
In Qiao Xing's memory, Bai Yi always seemed to be quite wealthy. Whether it was his clothes or the temperament he exuded, he didn't seem like someone who would owe loans.
"It seems like she has over 2.3 million yuan in principal, and the money she pays each month is barely enough to cover the interest, sometimes not even enough to pay the interest. Didn't you say she's your team leader? How come she's so poor?"
"I'm not quite sure either."
"I'm so worried. So, should I ask her for it or not?"
Qiao Xing didn't know either. Paying back debts is a matter of course, but if she really couldn't pay back, and the person demanding the debt happened to be Wang Ye, how was she supposed to get along with Bai Yi at the company later?
"How would I know? I told you not to go, but you still went. You figure it out yourself!" Qiao Xing hung up the phone in annoyance.
"What's wrong?" Qin Ce asked at the right moment.
"It's all because of my cousin." Qiao Xing recounted the entire conversation on the phone, then couldn't help but ask, "Isn't she Jiang Wang's girlfriend? Jiang Wang is so rich, how could he let her go into debt?"
"Why do you think Jiang Wang is rich?" Qin Ce asked, amused.
Qiao Xing blinked and turned to look at him. "Isn't he a rich kid? How could a rich kid not have money?"
"It depends on what kind of rich kid he is. Jiang Wang has an older brother and sister, so he probably has a lot of pocket money compared to ordinary people, but that amount isn't enough for him to squander. Where would he get the money to give to others?"
Jiang Wang's monthly allowance of several hundred thousand yuan is a lot for ordinary people, but for him, it's not enough to cover his expenses of over twenty thousand yuan.
He basically gets women for free by hanging out with Zhao Ming and Lao Lei's gang. When he meets a pretty girl, he takes her to meet his brothers.
Then the brother bragged about how it was the first time he had ever brought a woman to meet his friends, how he spent tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars on drinks, and how he took the girl on a high-speed car chase in luxury cars, making the girl feel that she had a chance to marry into a wealthy family, so she devoted herself to them.
Anyway, Jiang Wang and his group have plenty of tricks up their sleeves.
"How do you know so much?" Compared to Jiang Wang's methods of picking up girls, she was more surprised that Qin Ce knew so much detail.
They even know the details of how they pick up girls.
"Of course I've seen it."
Qiao Xing thought of Han Yan, and then thought of him as the boss's assistant, who was knowledgeable and experienced, so it was understandable that he knew these tricks.
"Then, could it be that Bai Yi owed Jiang Wang the money?"
"If your team leader were really that stupid, he wouldn't have become a team leader."
Qiao Xing thought about it and agreed. "I don't think she's stupid, at least not from my interactions with her, but... you never know."
People who are obsessed with love will become foolish no matter how smart they are.
Qin Ce simply chuckled enigmatically and did not answer her question.
Qiao Xing remembered that Bai Yi had said before that she was only with Jiang Wang for his money. If Jiang Wang didn't give her money, but instead had to give him money, how could she continue to date him?
There's only one possibility: although Jiang Wang doesn't have much pocket money each month, he still gives Bai Yi a portion of it, and Jiang Wang's pocket money is a considerable sum for Bai Yi.
Qiao Xing wasn't trying to gossip, but now that Wang Ye was demanding money from her boss, the thought of having to see Bai Yi at work made her feel like ants were crawling all over her body.
If things go wrong, Bai Yi might hold a grudge against her and become the next Wu Yun to target her, which would be troublesome.
Is it really that difficult for her to just go to work in peace?
Thinking of this, Qiao Xing picked up her phone again and sent a WeChat message to Bai Yi, using the excuse of asking for leave to test Bai Yi's attitude.
If Bai Yi has a problem with her, he most likely won't agree to let her continue taking leave.
Qiao Xing edited the text message and sent it, then began to wait anxiously.
The message disappeared without a trace, and Bai Yi did not reply until he got home.
Qiao Xing's heart gradually grew cold.
She sighed with a worried look on her face, then turned to Qin Ce and said, "I feel like I'm about to lose my job."
"Then I won't go, I'll just stay home and play," Qin Ce said casually.
"Am I crazy...? Staying home and playing around, am I supposed to starve?"
"Isn't my salary card with you?"
Qiao Xing curled her lip, "After paying off your mortgage and car loan, how much money do you have left?"
Qin Ce looked at her meaningfully for a few seconds. If she had taken that card and checked it, she wouldn't have said such a thing.
She's not even as good as Lin Yu. Lin Yu knows to transfer money to his own card. Lin Yu has already transferred five million out, and she still doesn't know how much money is in his card.
This woman has a really big heart.
