Chapter 499 Asking for Money
After walking through the offices one by one, they soon arrived at the one rented by Li Xu and Zhang Kun.
There was a shiny sign hanging on the door.
"Jincheng Co., Ltd..." Li Lei stood in front of the door and whispered the name on the sign.
"Very good, nice to listen to." He praised after finishing reading it.
Li Xu had already taken the key and opened the office door.
The door opened, revealing the layout of the office to everyone.
The area is not very large, probably only about 80 or 90 square meters.
There is a large table in the middle with several chairs around it.
There is a separate small room at the innermost part, with a sign on the door: Reception room.
To be honest, it's quite simple.
"Dad, Mom, you two have been busy for so many days, and you only bought a few tables and chairs?" Ji Ziang teased.
Just now the two of them were bragging that they had been busy for many days on this.
"Actually, you've been enjoying your two-person world these days, right?" Ji Ziang said again.
Li Xu raised her hand and patted him on the back of his head gently: "What do you know? We have a lot of things to do. Although the company is still very simple now, we can slowly add to it."
"Yes, it's good. Everything is difficult at the beginning. My parents have never run a company. I have to figure out everything on my own. It's hard." Ji Yuanyuan helped Li Xu explain.
Hearing this, Li Xu hugged Ji Yuanyuan and said, "My daughter is the one who cares about me."
Just as Ji Ziang was about to explain, Li Xu suddenly remembered something: "The company needs a computer, and we discussed it and decided to move our computer from home here."
Ji Ziang was unhappy when he heard this: "What do you use at home?"
Li Xu smiled, "In a few months, your elder brother will go to City B, so he won't be needed anymore."
"What about me and Yuanyuan?" Ji Ziang asked anxiously, "Don't we need it anymore?"
Li Xu looked at Ji Ziang mysteriously, "In September this year, you will officially become a senior high school student. Your grades are not as good as the average, but better than the average, so you have to work hard this year, and don't use the computer for the time being."
"A whole year, and you can't use it even once?" Ji Ziang widened his eyes and asked in disbelief.
Even if you're in the third year of high school, there's no need to be so strict, right?
"Yes, if you have made progress in the exams or have been praised by the teacher, you can apply for it. I will buy a laptop for Yuanyuan and put it in her room."
After saying that, Li Xu winked quietly at Ji Yuanyuan.
Want to buy her a notebook? Ji Yuanyuan applied for it for a while, and then she understood it quickly.
Mom wants to replace the computer at home to make things more convenient for her, right?
A fully charged laptop can be brought into the space for use.
Ji Ziang muttered unconvincedly: "What's the difference between this and not letting me use it?"
Li Xu didn't respond and took Li Lei to see the small reception room.
…
Pan Zhaodi stood at the gate of Xinhuayuan, looking around.
It's almost noon, and the girl should be back from school soon.
She took out the cake from her arms, took a bite, and sat down on the stone block next to her.
When she was almost done with one cake, her eyes suddenly lit up and she quickly put away the remaining cake.
"Ling Xue, school has just ended." She stepped forward and stopped a little girl riding a bicycle.
The person who came was Jiang Lingxue. When she saw Pan Zhaodi, her face was full of anger: "What are you doing here again?"
She jumped off the bike and looked around nervously.
We can’t let our foster mother see this woman, or she will say something nonsense.
"Ling Xue, isn't summer vacation almost here? I want to enroll your cousin in a cram school, and the money..." Pan Zhaodi stretched out her hand, rolled it, and said with a hint of meaning.
"It's still a long way to go before summer vacation. I just gave you 500 two days ago. Where can I get so much money?" Jiang Lingxue said impatiently, "You should know your limits when it comes to greed, right?"
"Look at what you said. He is your cousin after all, so you should at least give him a hand, right? You are living a good life now, but our family is still in dire straits. Who is to blame for this? If you are unwilling to help, then I will have to talk to your adoptive mother."
"Don't keep threatening me with this. It's still unclear whether my mother believes you or not. Even if she believes you, she won't be estranged from me because of this kind of thing. Do you think it's fun for you to come here and make trouble all day? Even if I'm really abandoned, what good will it do you? Who are you going to ask for money then?" Jiang Lingxue said coldly.
Pan Zhaodi sneered in her heart: She has already gotten the benefit. If Jiang Lingxue was not still useful, she would have gone to find Jiang Lingxue's adoptive mother long ago.
As long as Jiang Lingxue is not doing well, she will be happy.
"If you're really not afraid, then why did you give me money? Can't you just let me go find your adoptive mother?" Pan Zhaodi said, "Okay, don't be so stubborn. Your adoptive mother treats you very well. I've seen it all. Give me another 500 yuan, and I promise not to come to see you recently."
Jiang Lingxue was a little upset: "Where can I get you 500 yuan? My adoptive mother is very good to me, but I don't have that much money."
Her adoptive mother basically bought her everything she wanted, but she didn't give her much money.
"I don't care. I'll wait for you here. You must give me the money when you return to school. I need to take a bus home." Pan Zhaodi looked like a rogue.
Jiang Lingxue looked at her hatefully, and after a moment, she said, "You'd better keep your word."
Upon hearing Jiang Lingxue's agreement, Pan Zhaodi nodded quickly: "Okay, I will definitely do what I say. I can't push you too hard, right? I have to give you some time off..."
Jiang Lingxue gave Pan Zhaodi a white look and pushed the bike into the community.
After watching Jiang Lingxue's figure disappear, Pan Zhaodi withdrew her gaze.
Her stomach growled twice and she took out the biscuits from her pocket.
It was so dry that I couldn't even drool over it, and it was a little hard to swallow.
Pan Zhaodi looked at the cake in her hand, and after a moment, she suddenly threw it aside: "Damn it, I can get the money soon, why should I eat cake? I'm going to eat buns, meat buns!"
She walked away with a swagger.
Jiang Lingxue returned home with a heavy heart, and only her adoptive mother was at home.
"Ling Xue, the food is on the table, eat quickly and then go have a rest." Wan Jing said.
Jiang Lingxue smiled and asked, "Mom, have you eaten yet?"
Wan Jing closed her eyes and sat on the sofa listening to music: "I've eaten, you don't have to worry about me."
Wan Jing has been married to her husband for more than ten years, but has never been able to conceive.
So a few years ago, they went to the orphanage to adopt Shen Lingxue, treated her as their own daughter, and changed her surname to Jiang, following her husband's.
Who would have thought that after the couple no longer wanted to have children, they unexpectedly became pregnant this year.
Wan Jing cares very much about this hard-earned child.
Since she got pregnant, she stopped doing housework and hired a nanny. She was given nutritious meals every day, so she and the rest of the family ate separately.
Jiang Lingxue stopped talking. She sat on the chair and began to eat in silence.
