Borrowing money
The Zhang family invited relatives and friends to dinner with great fanfare. Although they never mentioned how much compensation they received for the demolition, everything they did suggested that they were "rich" and "super rich."
Look, the dishes on the table are said to be the largest in the Junhao Hotel, and one table can cost two thousand! Fifty tables means one hundred thousand!
After listening, Chen Jin looked at the lobster that had just been served, and patted the worried Chen Yongan, "It's rare to get a meal that costs 2,000 yuan. Don't think about those extras. Eat your fill and watch the fun later."
"Lively? What's lively about that?" Although Chen Yongan was still thinking about how his brother-in-law had changed, he calmed down a lot when he heard the people at the next table say that the price of today's dinner was two thousand per table. He and his third sister started to think about how to eat the lobster.
Their region is also a coastal province, so they usually have no shortage of seafood, but this is the first time they have seen lobsters that are bigger than a human head.
Chen Jin smiled without saying anything. His eldest cousin, second cousin, and third cousin all laughed meaningfully.
Now that the Zhang family has separated, my aunt comes to entertain them and it is relatively quiet here. But the situation at home of my aunt's two sisters-in-law was not so peaceful. They were jealous of the Zhang family's wealth. In addition, there are Mrs. Zhang's family members and Mr. Zhang's married sisters...
I am not afraid of having too many relatives, but I am afraid that there are a few relatives who want to suck your blood. When other relatives see this, they will definitely want to take a share.
Look, when Old Man Zhang came over to toast just now, I don’t know if he was just trying to get close to her uncle or if he really wanted to buy a shop for her aunt and register it under her name, but he said it after all. She did not miss the expressions of her two aunt's sisters-in-law, who looked as if they had eaten a fly. Needless to say, there would be a fuss when she got home.
Maybe you won't even be able to wait until you can go back.
After eating until he was 80% full, Chen Jin felt a little hungry and was thinking about the fruit he would have after the meal. Chen Jia and Tian Miao said they wanted to go to the bathroom, and she and Chen Ting were dragged to accompany them.
If time could be turned back, Chen Jin would never agree to accompany them on this trip!
She had just returned to the hall and initially thought that these people were just drunk and chatting too much, but after she took a few steps inside, she realized something was wrong. This isn't just chatting loudly, this is quarreling!
When she looked up, she saw Chen Yongan waving at her excitedly. Chen Jin was excited and quickened her pace to trot over, asking quietly, "What's wrong?"
Chen Yongan covered his mouth with his hand: "My sister-in-law's eldest sister-in-law's family just asked old man Zhang for money, saying that Zhang Laoda is the eldest son and should take the lion's share of the family property. He must give it away now, otherwise there will be accidents in the future."
Chen Yongfei came over at some point and said, "They also said that they would either give some money to Boss Zhang, or buy a house in Hanlin Garden for their youngest son. Tsk tsk."
Chen Jin: "...they are really bold in their thinking."
She knew that the Zhang family's relatives would make trouble sooner or later, but she didn't expect the reason for the trouble would be so outrageous. A daughter-in-law's family forced her in-laws to divide the property, otherwise they would have to buy a house for their son?
Outrageous! She hasn't seen it before, she needs to take a closer look.
"My sister-in-law's family is also making a fuss, saying that since the family is being divided, why not just divide it together?"
"Ah?! Where is Old Man Zhang? He just watched them making a fuss?" Chen Jin felt that Old Man Zhang was a little bit arrogant, but not to the point of being stupid. People spend their money lavishly, but they also want to use the money for other investments to continue making money. Otherwise, why would he ask her uncle about the land in the suburbs of Xicheng District?
"Old man Zhang is very determined. He has directly told his two daughters-in-law to decide for themselves whether to continue living at home if possible or divorce and leave if not. The demolition money and the house are all in the name of old man Zhang. If they divorce now, they will get nothing. Just now, old man Zhang also scolded his wife and they almost got into a fight."
Chen Jin clicked his tongue twice, looked in another noisy direction, raised his chin, and asked, "What's going on over there?"
Chen Yongfei: "I don't understand which relative of the Zhang family they are. One person asked to borrow 2 million for business, and the others followed suit and asked to borrow 1 million. Some people asked to borrow less, but some asked to borrow 200,000."
Chen Jia and others who came back later found it hard to explain. Could two hundred thousand be just twenty yuan or two hundred yuan?
Second cousin Chen Yongxin didn't know what he was thinking. He looked at Chen Ting and said, "It's better to be low-key if you have money. If you are high-profile, you will be easily targeted. It's a small matter for people to borrow money from you in various ways. If they are more radical, it's normal for them to kill you for money."
Chen Ting was annoyed and angry at being stared at by her second brother. She understood that his words were aimed at her, but did he have to bring it up at this time? How will her other brothers and sisters look at her in the future?
He turned his face away angrily.
Chen Jin arrived a little late because there were too many people queuing in the women's restroom outside, which wasted time. Otherwise, she could have come back earlier to watch the fun. oops! Missed it!
At this time, the people who were making a fuss saw that Old Man Zhang had a sullen face and was silent, and gradually they lost the courage to continue making a fuss, and they all sat back in their original seats with their necks shrunk. Some people drank a little and were instigated by others, so they wanted to make some trouble. When he sobered up, he realized that he had done something stupid.
Everyone knew that the Zhang family had become rich overnight. Life was indeed not easy for these relatives. If they had asked for money in a nice way, it would not have been difficult. But the key point was that they had a quarrel on this occasion...
"If I were Old Man Zhang, I would definitely not bother with these people when I go back." Chen Yongfei said, "Third sister, didn't you see how ugly Old Man Zhang's face was just now?"
Second cousin Chen Yongxin smiled and said, "That's not necessarily true. When we go back, we can go to their house and say a few good words. We can still borrow money, but it's unlikely that we can borrow hundreds of thousands."
"Ah? Why? What do you think he wants?"
Chen Yongxin looked around the magnificently decorated banquet hall and said, "Some people are happy to be praised by others."
There was still much to be said within the Zhang family, but they couldn't stay to watch the fun. My aunt saw that they were not satisfied and said with a smile, "I'll tell you when we get back some other day."
Haha, it turns out that it has to be someone from their Chen family!
Chen Jin was very satisfied with the meal. She drove to send her second uncle's family home. The remaining uncles, the eldest uncle and the third uncle, both had cars, especially the eldest uncle's family, which had three cars!
However, my uncle, my eldest cousin and my second cousin are all busy with their own work. Even though my second cousin is in the construction company with my uncle, he is in charge of a different business, so they are both busy with their work separately.
The second uncle was also allocated a building in Qiaoxi Village. Chen Jin estimated that he was not very good at using the money, so he might have borrowed part of it from his eldest uncle.
After watching a lively scene over the weekend, when Chen Jin went to work on Monday, he ran into the vice president’s wife coming to the company to catch him cheating. She made a scene in the secretary’s office, and no one knew what she was thinking, but she even ran to the administrative department to make a scene.
When this person came, he picked up an employee's potted plant and threw it, then attracted everyone's attention. He scanned the entire room while cursing, "You're so brave to spend other people's men's money to buy a car and a house. Stand up!"
Lin Xinran frowned, "How crazy! After making trouble at the front desk, he went to the finance office again. Did he go to the secretariat and our administrative department today?"
Having spent a long time with Chen Jin during this period, Lin Xinran also used the phrase "so crazy" to describe a person's unreasonable behavior when she couldn't find an adjective to describe it.
Someone has already gone to find Manager Yao, and someone else has gone to notify the vice president.
"She makes trouble like this every time. Has the group never thought of asking the deputy general manager to take care of it?"
"Look at her, can she control her? This vice president's husband is a relative of the boss, and the other vice president got to the top based on her own abilities. Look at the difference."
Soon someone came and persuaded the troublemakers to leave. Every time it comes like a strong wind, it leaves behind ruins and causes the reputation of a certain vice president to decline again and again.
The shallower the temple, the more turtles there are; the bigger the temple, the more crazy men and women there are.
Chen Jin just thought that there was a little additive in his boring work. But she didn't expect that this mess would involve her.
The next morning, someone seemed to be secretly looking at her. The look in their eyes was not right. Chen Jin did not make any blind guesses, but went directly to ask Sister Ming, who was the most well-informed in the administrative department, "What are these people whispering about me behind my back?"
"Did you hear that?"
"I didn't hear it, but I'm familiar with their eyes. I can tell at a glance that it's not a good thing." Hasn't she seen enough of this in the village?
Sister Ming gave her a sympathetic look and said, "These people are just jealous. Seeing that you are good-looking and drive a nice car, they associate you with the mistress that the vice president's wife mentioned."
Chen Jin’s eyes were almost rolled up to the sky. He is really a rumour-monger!
Within a short while, everyone in the administrative department learned the first-hand information from Lin Xinran: Chen Jin was a resident being relocated.
The mystery that has always existed finally has an answer: they are not the second generation of rich people, but they became the first generation of rich people directly through the demolition.
Chen Jin not only has a car, but also lives in a house worth millions, and collects rent from dozens of houses...
The rumor was self-defeating. The vice president couldn't even afford the money to support his mistress.
Sister Ming joked with her, "In the past, people thought you were some rich girl, so some people didn't dare to pursue you. But now they are confident and are ready to launch an offensive against you."
Chen Jin didn't understand. "They think that the rich girls have high standards and don't look down on them. Does that mean that I, Chen Jin, am a nouveau riche and should look down on them?"
"Who made you single? There are always people who think there is a chance. What kind of person do you want to find?"
Chen Jin made up a story, "Tall and handsome, better educated than me, richer than me. I can't have any of the following."
"Your demands are a bit high, aren't they?"
"My mother left me such a big family business. She can't let me suffer in someone else's house, right? I'm not tall, handsome, have no education, and have no money. What do I want? One-on-one poverty alleviation?"
Sister Ming: “…” Her words are rough but the logic is there. They make a lot of sense and cannot be refuted.
Put yourself in his shoes. How could she, who is pretty, educated and rich, be interested in someone who is inferior to her in every way?
Chen Jin and Sister Ming spoke without lowering their voices, and most people in the administrative department could hear them. During the next half month, no one came near her. Maybe people scolded her in private for being rich and looking down on others, but so what?
After the last day of work in January, Chen Jin and Lin Xinran exchanged contact information with Manager Yao, An Lan and Sister Ming, and went to the Finance Department to get this month's internship salary in advance.
Winter vacation has officially begun.
"Chen Jin, what are you going to do during your winter vacation?"
"A lot of things." Chen Jin listed them one by one.
Collect rent, learn makeup, get a new hairstyle, go see the house in Qiaoxi Village after it's finished, ask others if they want to travel to Beijing after the Chinese New Year...
There are so many things to do.
