Chapter 68 You try it and see if you can. You want to run away with the money?
Where are you going?
"Huh?" Wen Han tried to slip away after signing the papers. "Isn't today a holiday?"
"Isn't your work done during your holidays?"
"But today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is a time to spend with family—" Thinking of Gu Zong's filial son and good younger brother secretly fighting with him, Wen Han silently shut her mouth.
"Can I leave work at five o'clock?"
What do you think?
Wen Han dislikes capitalists.
When Liu Chuanze went out, Wen Han was grooming the cat; when he came back, he was still grooming the cat.
"Hey, hey," Yanagawa Ze said with a wink, "aren't you being a little too obvious about dawdling?"
“What do you know? This is called wisdom.” Wen Han glanced at him strangely. “If I actively look for work, wouldn’t I have endless work to do?”
“But you don’t leave work on time, do you?” Wen Han didn’t speak. Liu Chuanze continued, “If I’m here, I can help you with some of the work. I have to go back to my mom’s tonight. You don’t want to see Gu Cheng and Gu Yuan then, do you?”
Liu Chuanze's words made sense, and Wen Han reluctantly went to ask for instructions: "The cat hair has been cleaned up, what should I do now?"
"Go and deliver a document for me."
It couldn't be anything important that he was asked to deliver, so Wen Han asked, "Where to?"
"The Jing family."
Wen Han's hand holding the document froze. Gu Zong exclaimed "Ah!" and chuckled, "You seem to get along quite well with his youngest son?"
"Go."
*
It was already evening when Wen Han sat in the car. The route the driver took was different from the route to the Jing family's house that he remembered.
Wen Han remembered what Jing Yu had told him; he was currently at the old house.
He glanced at the documents in his hand. Since they were for the Jing family anyway, he could ask Jing Yu about them later.
Yawning, Wen Han took a short nap while holding the documents.
"arrive."
Wen Han was about to hand the documents to the gatekeeper and leave when he got out of the car and realized that the Jing family's "headquarters" was actually near the mountains.
How far did they drive? No wonder Jingyu and the others found a place to stay on their own.
"Jing Zhao?" Wen Han thought she was seeing things. "What are you doing standing outside? Where's your brother?"
Jing Zhao was kicking pebbles, her little face full of frustration. When she saw Wen Han, she asked in surprise, "Wen Han, what are you doing here?"
It's good that Jing Zhao is here; I feel comfortable handing the documents to her. Wen Han said, "Gu Zong asked me to deliver the documents."
"Oh, then give it to me."
Wen Han originally wanted to just leave and be done with it, but seeing her expression, she couldn't help but ask, "Why are you the only one outside?"
"I got scolded by my father for cursing at someone annoying." Jing Zhao angrily kicked a small stone higher than her head. "I was so angry, and then my dad started arguing with him. I couldn't stand it, so I ran away."
Wen Han advised, "Go back quickly, it will be dark soon."
"No."
They must be worried about you.
"Serves him right!"
Wen Han was really having a headache. She didn't know if Jing Yu had noticed that his sister had run away, and she couldn't make a phone call.
"Xiao Zhao." Jing Yu's voice came from behind, "Why did you run out here all by yourself?"
Jing Yu asked in surprise, "Wen Han, weren't you in the countryside this morning?"
Wen Han looked at her as if she had seen a savior: "It's too complicated, I don't even know how to explain it."
Jing Yu smiled and said, "Then let's talk slowly."
“But I’m here to deliver some documents.” Wen Han pointed. “Gu Zong asked me to deliver them. I’m working for him now.”
Jing Yu was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand how Wen Han had found another employer after only a few hours.
"Come in first."
"Is it inappropriate for me to visit your home during the holiday?"
"Come on, come on," Jing Zhao sneered. "So many people who aren't even relatives are here, and you're still our friend."
She was clearly still angry. Wen Han said, "But I came to deliver documents. I should have left after I finished."
“Well…” Jingyu said, “Just say we also have documents for you to take back, which is why it took a little time. No problem.”
Wen Han then told the driver, after all, he had heard a lot of information at the Gu family's house today.
——
Once inside, Wen Han felt relieved. There were so many people; some of them might not even know each other.
Along the way, many people asked Jing Zhao, "Cousin/Little cousin, where did you go just now?"
Jing Zhao said coldly, "I'm going to admire the scenery."
"Wow." Wen Han asked softly, "How many brothers and sisters does your father have? Why do so many people call you cousin?"
Six.
Wen Han: "......"
Why is it six again?
Do you recognize them all?
"How could I possibly recognize so many people? Putting aside all the uncles, aunts, and great-uncles, there are also my second grandfather, third grandfather, fourth grandfather, and great-uncle. My head is about to explode with pain, and my father even scolds me for not knowing how to greet my elders properly. How could I possibly know so many people!"
Wen Han sensed her breakdown.
Jing Zhao knew that Wen Han had something to talk to Jing Yu about: "I'm going to find my dad, you two talk."
After Jing Zhao left, Wen Han immediately told Jing Yu what she had overheard under the bed: "What do you think they were researching?"
"They gave the cats experimental drugs?"
"Um."
"Then we'll know if we take the cat to get checked out."
"Where to send it?" Wen Han understood when she saw Jing Yu's smiling expression. Isn't this the kind of thing the Jing family does?
"Gu Zong might know, who knows."
"Know what?"
"The matter of Gu Cheng and Gu Yuan joining forces to deal with him," Jing Yu said calmly. "However, he hasn't made any moves yet; perhaps he's still waiting."
Wait? Why doesn't Gu Zong just deal with those two directly instead of waiting?
"Jing Yu," an older Alpha walked over and said with a smile, "It's been so long I almost didn't recognize you."
"Hello, Second Uncle."
After he left, Wen Han asked, "Who is your maternal uncle? Your maternal uncle's grandfather?"
“He’s my father’s uncle,” Jing Yu said with a smile. “It’s alright, he’s not a close relative.”
Wen Han had to rely on Wen Qingke to remind her to call out to people during the Chinese New Year, as she only recognized a few: "You have too many relatives."
"There's nothing we can do about it."
“Dad,” Jing Yu suddenly said with a smile, “this is Wen Han.”
"Oh, this is your friend, right?"
Wen Han was startled; he didn't know when Jing Yu had walked up to his father.
Jingyu's father was a very gentle and handsome Omega, and both Jingzhao and Jingyu resembled him somewhat. He looked tired, perhaps from the holiday: "Did you bring friends over for a visit?"
"Um."
Wen Han was a little nervous: "Hello."
Jingyu's father chuckled: "Don't be so nervous, Jingyu. Why don't you take him and Xiaozhao to your room to play? There are too many people at home today."
After saying that, he said helplessly, "Remember not to let your father see this."
*
"Is your father very strict?"
As soon as Jing Zhao closed the door, he felt the world was finally at peace: "Hmph, he's the kind of parent who nitpicks and demands that you always get first place! Luckily, I moved out."
"Jingzhao, are you still wearing the suppression patch?"
"Hmm? Of course." Jing Zhao sighed. "I was quite happy when the suppression patch was developed, and I could finally go out. But I was called back for socializing during the Mid-Autumn Festival. It made me so angry."
Do you have any extra?
"Yes, but what do you need it for?"
Wen Han asked Jing Yu, "I heard from Gu Yuan that Gu Zong is now interested in medical-related things, like this suppression patch."
This patch is thinner and smaller than the one Wen Han used when she first met Jing Zhao, which should be due to improved technology.
Let's try Jingyu.
"Jingyu, why don't you give it a try?"
Jing Yu paused for a moment, then turned her head to reveal the side of her neck.
Wen Han tore open a piece of paper and carefully approached Jing Yu's gland. He smelled a fresh and sweet floral fragrance.
After the suppressor patch was applied, Wen Han could barely smell the pheromones anymore; she could only detect a faint floral scent when she got close to the glands.
"It seems that the pheromone blocking effect is better than before."
“Yes,” Jing Zhao laughed. “Now we can isolate at least 195% of it.”
“If it were issued, it would definitely sell very well,” Wen Han said earnestly. “It would be great if the government could also promote it vigorously, ideally making it a necessity of life like inhibitors.”
Jing Zhao hadn't thought that far ahead: "How could that be? If that were the case, our family would be completely wiped out."
Wen Han smiled helplessly; she could only envy what others had.
Wait a minute, a brilliant idea struck him. The suppression patch hadn't been released yet. If he bought some of the Jing family's stock, wouldn't he be set for life?
Jing Yu lay obediently on the bed, and he saw Wen Han's eyes light up instantly.
——
"What are you thinking about?"
After returning from the Jing family, Wen Han handed the documents to Gu Zong and then stared blankly into space.
"Do I owe you 17,000 yuan?" Wen Han thought for a moment. "Isn't my dad also an employee of your Gujia family? Could you let him borrow money too, and put the debt on his head?"
Wen Han added, "Tell him again a year later, and he won't deny the money."
Gu Zong asked, "How much money do you want to borrow?"
Wen Han wanted to say he could have as much as he wanted, but that wasn't realistic. After thinking for a long time, he finally came up with a more reasonable figure: "How about two million?"
Gu Zong smiled: "You want to run away with the money?"
No, why do I think he'd run off with the money instead of using it to build a great business? Wen Han said sincerely, "That's impossible. Besides, my dad's still here; he can keep working for you. If all else fails, there's Wen Ruo; she can work for your company after she graduates."
“I have no interest in family-inherited loans,” Gu Zong said. “I must receive the principal and interest within three years of lending out the money.”
"No way, we'll still be relatives in the future," Wen Han said with an awkward smile. "Can we just consider it a loan from Wen Ruan?"
God has given him a chance to become rich overnight, and Wen Han is determined to seize it. Once he's made money, he'll head abroad, keeping his happiness for himself and leaving the opportunity to earn two million for Wen Ruo and the others.
"You can borrow it." Gu Zong's slender fingers casually turned a page. "As long as you can pay it back when the time comes."
"Why didn't you ask the youngest son of the Jing family for a loan?" Gu Zong asked. "Didn't he specifically invite you to stay as a guest?"
He originally wanted to buy shares in the Jing family company, and he even borrowed money from Jing Yu. It all sounds like he was trying to get something for nothing.
...And Wen Han would find it strange to borrow money from Jing Yu.
"I don't want to borrow money from my classmates."
"Is it okay to borrow money from a classmate's dad?"
What kind of classmate is Gu Cheng? Wen Han felt increasingly uncomfortable listening to this: "Can you please stop talking?"
"It was you who asked for the money earlier, and now it's you again."
Wen Han was truly at her wit's end.
