Chapter 37 Mood
The weather is getting warmer and the whole city has entered late spring weather.
It has been raining for several days in a row, drizzling continuously.
The roses are in full bloom, filling the frames with bright reds of varying shades. After the rain, the petals fall in formations.
Han Que's life became peaceful again. He went to work, attended meetings, visited clients, explained products, shipped goods and collected payments, got off work, taught classes, received clients, and introduced courses. Everything went on as planned and in an orderly manner.
However, Han knew that Lu Xiaoping would never appear in the club again, so she asked Zhou Hongbin to help apply for a refund. Zhou Hongbin looked up at her while sitting in the office, his eyes full of regret and pity.
"Did you really split it equally with Lu Xiao?" he asked.
Han nodded.
Zhou Hongbin was silent for a while, then stood up and walked back and forth in the office, trying to find a compromise solution. He was reluctant to part with the money that had already fallen into his pocket, which was already a high-quality client like Lu Xiaoping who was "stupid and rich".
Han just looked at him silently, waiting for him to make a decision.
After all, this is not a small amount of money. Nowadays, the business of high-end fitness venues is in a downturn, and several chain stores that are more famous than theirs have closed down. Their "Hong" club can still survive because it is small in scale, operates cautiously, and has regular old customers.
But if you ask Zhou Hongbin to return the money from his pocket, he will feel bad. However, if he offends Han Que, the gold medal salesperson, his future business will be affected. So far, Zhou Hongbin has not found someone who can replace her.
So he said with regret: "That's such a pity. Although Lu Xiaoping has a bit of a spoiled brat temperament, he's a good person. He's also simple and honest, without too many tricks. He's already considered a good person among his group."
Han nodded and said yes, expressing his agreement.
Zhou Hongbin added, "Actually, he's quite devoted to you, which is quite rare in today's society... Although some people may appear to be richer and more prestigious than their family, they also have higher standards and are more discerning. It's not easy to enter a wealthy family..." He looked at Han Que with a half-smile, "Han Que, I'm not saying this to you, but sometimes you really can't get the chance again. Don't you want to reconsider?"
Han smiled and said, "Brother, you have a point. I also feel that I am not the material to marry into a wealthy family. Nowadays, people pay attention to equal exchange. People like me really have nothing to exchange. So, don't think about men changing their status. It's better to rely on your own hard work to get rich."
Zhou Hongbin paused, smiled awkwardly, nodded, and said, "Okay, you're ambitious. I wish Wenwen was half as mature as you." He shook his head and sighed, "Although you are the same age, her mind is still like a child's. She is not sensible at all."
Han lowered his head in silence for a while, then looked up and smiled at Zhou Hongbin: "Brother, I used to hear my parents say that children from poor families grow up early."
Zhou Hongbin looked at her without saying anything for a long time, then walked to the desk and signed the refund application form helplessly.
Zhou Hongbin agreed to return part of Lu Xiaoping's recharge amount, and correspondingly, Han Que's commission and bonus would also be deducted.
Han looked at the refund slip in his hand and sighed deeply.
Chunyi Company didn't return the goods. Manager Chen said, "Our President Xu was very angry, and I was criticized and had my money deducted. It's a shame your product was selling well and your inventory was low, so President Xu was lenient. It was really not easy. I'm almost wearing out my lips."
Han thanked him repeatedly.
Manager Chen then gave Han Que another earnest admonition, "Xiao Han, you can't do things like this in the future. Our President Xu has always disliked using backdoors or connections. This time, she didn't bother with me because I was her godson. If it were someone else, I really wouldn't be able to clear myself even if I jumped into the Yellow River."
Han Quelian knew in his heart that all this was Xu Chun's idea and that Xu Chun agreed to his conditions, but he was very grateful to Manager Chen for the sake of face. He specially bought a few boxes of Mingqian spring tea and sent them to Manager Chen's home as an apology.
She only breathed a sigh of relief after finishing these things, and then she received calls and WeChat messages from Han Youfang for several consecutive days, all of which were about collecting money and repaying debts.
Han, however, could not soften his attitude and begged her: "Aunt, can you give me a few days? I don't have that much money. I will transfer the money to you after I get a loan from the bank."
Han Youfang said sarcastically on the phone, "Han Que, don't make me sound so pitiful. Everyone knows you're in sales, and you get high commissions and bonuses. You're also a coach in some high-end club, and you only interact with rich people. My money is nothing to you, a small matter. You even need to take out a loan to pay it back. Are you kidding me? Besides, I've lent you this money for several years now. I used to do it for your father's sake. Now my poor brother has passed away, and my affection for you and your daughter has ended."
Han remained silent after hearing this. Han Youfang's meaning was obvious. From now on, their family and Han Youfang's family would go their separate ways and there would be no possibility of any contact between them. They should pay back the money now.
In fact, she didn't want to have anything to do with such a relative, but the balance in her bank card didn't allow her to turn against him now, so she could only soften her attitude and beg her to wait for a while.
Han Youfang chuckled and offered her some advice. "Han Que, I've watched you grow up, so I know your temper and abilities. Since you work in that high-end club and know so many wealthy people, it wouldn't be a big deal to just ask them for a loan. Oh, and by the way, I heard you found a rich second-generation guy, didn't you? Ask him to invest and help you."
She added with ulterior motives: "Our Han is so beautiful, it's not in vain to fall in love, right?"
Han Que: "..." She could only laugh and cry and said: "Aunt, where did you hear that I was looking for a rich second-generation rich man? I obviously don't even have a partner, who would be interested in me, with all the foreign debts."
Han Youfang was surprised when she heard this and said, "What? You're still single? Is that true? If you're really single, I'd like to introduce you to the son of my square-dancing partner. His family are all officials, his son works at the power supply bureau, and he already has a house. He's got great conditions."
Han sighed in his heart, regretting that he had been too talkative and brought up the issue of whether they were in a relationship or not, which irritated Han Youfang. He had no choice but to listen patiently as she rambled on about how outstanding her younger sister's son was.
Han Youfang talked for a long time, and Dayou was about to introduce the two of them. Suddenly, he said, "My sister's son is good in every way, except for one thing. He has a daughter who is in elementary school. But you young people won't mind this, right? When a man is a little older, he knows how to care for others. He is always better than those questionable men."
Seeing Han remained silent, she quickly added, "Hey, my nephew is an honest man. He didn't make any mistakes, but his ex-wife cheated on him. He's so pitiful. He's busy with work and has to take care of the children. As a man, how can he take care of everything? He hopes to find a woman to help him."
Han listened for a while and said with emotion: "Yes, I can't take care of it. My mother is in poor health and I am busy. I also hope that someone can take care of my mother. We are all in the same boat."
Han Youfang: “…”
She was horrified when she thought that Han still had the burden of Liu Suping. With such a mother to take care of, few men would be willing to marry her, even if they were getting married for the second time.
After a long while, Han Youfang said, "Your mother's poor health is her own fault. I've advised her countless times to eat and drink as needed, but she won't listen. Last time, I recommended a health supplement store to her. The products were so good, so I asked her to buy some, but she just wouldn't listen. She even said I was trying to make money from her. Think about who I am. Even if I get a commission from selling health supplements, that's my own hard work. What does it have to do with her?"
The health products company does have a high commission. The young man upstream of her said that buying their products is equivalent to buying financial products, and the rate of return is very high.
But Liu Suping just wouldn't listen.
Han Youfang got angry just thinking about it, and getting back to the point, she said to Han indifferently: "Let's not talk nonsense anymore. Anyway, I'm waiting for the money, so you should transfer it to me as soon as possible. For the sake of my poor brother, I won't bother with you about the previous matter. Don't delay my serious business, otherwise, don't blame me, your aunt, for not paying attention to you two."
Han Que went to several banks. At first, the loan department managers were all very enthusiastic. However, when they asked about Han Que's basic situation, such as having no assets to mortgage and an unstable salary flow, their attitudes changed.
Some said that our bank’s risk control standards are very high and the review is strict, so it would be very difficult for Ms. Han to get the money so quickly.
Some people also suggested that she look for those platforms, saying that they would disburse funds faster. However, Han went to find out more and found that although the procedures were simple, the interest rates were very high, comparable to usury. Han did not dare to get involved in such a thing.
She'd better be cautious.
Han Youfang's debt collection calls and WeChat messages came one after another, bombarding her, no matter day or night, and regardless of whether it was working hours or not. There were several times when her calls came during meetings, but Han did not dare to block her and could only run to the bathroom to answer the calls. After a few times, the company was rumored to have borrowed high-interest loans and was being asked to pay off the debts.
This news also reached Jiang Jin. After a department meeting, he found an excuse and called Han Que to his office: "I heard that you are short of money recently?"
Han nodded and said sarcastically that she was short of money and always had been, but Mr. Jiang, don't worry, she would never ask Mr. Jiang to borrow money even if she was short of money again.
Jiang Jin was speechless for a moment. He recalled the situation that year and felt a little embarrassed.
"Well, I was also short of money at that time. Now if you need me, I also want to make up for what happened in the past..." Jiang Jin expressed himself carefully.
"No need." Han quickly interrupted him, "You didn't owe me anything before, and you don't owe me anything now, so there's no question of making amends."
A bunch of crap, and my mood is like overgrown weeds.
