Chapter 176 Making a fortune in silence
"I know I've done a terrible job as your second brother, and I don't want to make things difficult for you, you..."
Jiang Zhengxiao was still muttering to himself when a voice suddenly popped into his ear, "Is 30,000 enough?"
He looked up in astonishment, his eyes wide as bull's eyes, staring at Jiang Ruzhen.
"How much did you say?" The voice was so surprised it split open.
Jiang Ruzhen blinked and looked back at Jiang Zhengxiao, "Thirty thousand? Not enough? How about I give you fifty thousand?"
Jiang Ruzhen is not short of money now. Each of her clothing stores can earn her nearly 30,000 yuan a month, and with 25 branches, her monthly income is 750,000 yuan.
In addition, the clothing factories in Yangcheng also take on some foreign trade or casual orders every month, besides producing clothes for Zhenbaoge.
The monthly turnover is also around 300,000.
Besides their basic monthly salary of 1,000 yuan, monthly performance bonus of 20,000 yuan, and year-end bonus of 100,000 yuan, the eldest and second eldest brothers each have a total of 100,000 yuan in working capital under their control.
All other incoming funds are stored in Jiang Ruzhen's space.
Because she is so low-key and never publicizes her wealth, and doesn't keep her money in the bank, she quietly makes a fortune, and no one knows exactly how much money she earns in a year.
Just treat her as an ordinary individual business owner; otherwise, with all the TV stations and newspapers reporting on her, people would know that she is the leading figure in the entire northern garment industry.
The current scale is not enough; the second-largest branch is ambitiously expanding its branches every month.
She's already a true millionaire, so these 30,000 to 50,000 yuan are nothing to her.
"Five...five thousand...cough cough..."
Jiang Zhengxiao was so startled that he choked on his own saliva and coughed for a long time before he could find his voice again.
"Little sister, you're not going to give me all your family's assets, are you? How can you be so naive? Even if you're siblings, you should be more careful!"
"How can I trust someone as honest and straightforward as you?"
"I...no...this isn't my whole home..."
"Keep your voice down, don't make a fuss." Jiang Zhengxiao quickly stepped forward and covered Jiang Ruzhen's mouth. "Don't let others hear this and then try to take advantage of you."
Jiang Zhengxiao pulled the person to a more secluded, open road, looked around for a long time, and then lowered his voice to speak.
"Since you have so much money, then I won't bother you twice. Lend me 15,000 first, and I can raise 5,000 myself."
Twenty thousand yuan is enough for Xiaowen to go to school. I will save money for the next two or three years, and he will also work part-time while he is studying. My son and I will definitely work hard to earn money and try to pay back this money as soon as possible, so don't worry."
Jiang Ruzhen waved her hand generously, "No need to return it, just consider it a big red envelope I gave to Xiaowen for the New Year."
Jiang Zhengxiao was about to say something more when Jiang Ruzhen pulled out a bundle of money wrapped in newspaper from her bag.
After handing the money to Jiang Zhengxiao, she hurriedly hailed a taxi. "Second Brother, I'm in a rush to get to school. You should go to school and pay the fees right away!"
Jiang Zhengxiao hurriedly stuffed the money into his pocket and shouted at the back of the taxi.
"Hey little sister, don't go! I haven't written you an IOU yet!"
The only response he received was the black smoke billowing from the taxi.
Jiang Zhengxiao stood there in a daze for a long time before gradually coming back to his senses and realizing that the huge problem that had been troubling him for the past few days had been easily solved by his younger sister.
He sighed with emotion, "I never expected that my little sister would be the most reliable at such a crucial moment. Maybe I should try going into business myself? Is it really that profitable?"
Then he shook his head, realizing he didn't understand anything and shouldn't be fooled again. He decided to just stick to being a junior manager.
After class at noon, Jiang Ruzhen found a place to call her second son.
"I've bought a few shops in the capital. Take care of what you're doing now and come over to renovate them. We're ready to open for business on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year."
"Mom, you really are my mom. Do you think I'm some kind of silly boy? I still have two branch stores to finish setting up!" the second son yelled on the phone.
"Don't play dumb with me. Do you think I don't know you've already started training two development managers? Let them finish up. You, bring the engineering team over here right now."
"Dare to delay my business, and I'll twist your head off." Jiang Ruzhen's few words shattered her second son's dream of taking a few days off to go home and spend time with his girlfriend.
He wanted to bargain with Jiang Ruzhen, but Jiang Ruzhen had already seen through his intentions. "Remember, bring Mei Ling over to play for a few days."
"Huh?" The second son hadn't thought of that, and quickly accepted Mei Ling's thanks, "Hey, hey, hey, my mom is so wise and resourceful, she's so much more thoughtful than me. I thank Mom for her generosity on behalf of my Lingling..."
"You're thanking me too soon. All the expenses will be deducted from your salary." Jiang Ruzhen hung up the phone after saying that, too lazy to listen to her second son's nonsense.
The second brother didn't care that Jiang Ruzhen had hung up on him. He quickly called Mei Ling and told her that he wanted to take her to Beijing.
Mei Ling jumped for joy, running around the rooms like a little bird in front of her parents, packing her luggage.
Mr. and Mrs. Mei covered their eyes; they simply couldn't bear to look.
After Mei Ling finished packing her luggage, the couple called their daughter over.
"Although you have already agreed to get married, it is a done deal that you went out with a man before the wedding and cannot be changed."
Are you sure you want to marry Shen Lao Er and won't regret it?
Mei Ling looked at her parents strangely, "What do I regret? I wish I could marry him tomorrow, but you two insisted on setting the date for April after the new year."
Mei's father sighed, "It's because your father still has expectations for you. Perhaps you admired Shen Lao Er too much before, which is why you thought he was so good in every way."
I thought that after spending some time together, you might change your mind.
Mei's mother nudged Mei's father and said directly to Mei Ling, "Your father has always been thinking about finding a son-in-law to live with the family. He likes Shen Zhuoyi from the bottom of his heart, but he just hasn't figured it out yet."
Mei Ling pouted unhappily and said, "What era are we living in? Why are you still so concerned about carrying on the family line? Do you think I, your daughter, am not as good as your son?"
"How about this, Dad, you're still going strong, have another son to carry on the family line?"
Mei Ling turned around and went back into the house, slamming the door shut with a loud bang.
“Look, look, what kind of attitude is that? How can she talk to her father like that?” Mr. Mei pointed to the bedroom door and complained to Mrs. Mei in a low voice.
Mei's mother glared at him and asked with an unfriendly expression, "To be honest, are you very disappointed that Lingling is a daughter? Do you secretly wish you could have a son?"
Are you also thinking about divorcing me and finding another woman to have a son for you?
When Mei’s father saw that his daughter-in-law was angry, he immediately slid down, his knees landing smoothly on the ground, and raised three fingers to swear an oath to the lamp.
"Wife, you must believe me. If I ever have that thought, may I be hit by a car and die the moment I step outside."
Mother Mei snorted, reached out and grabbed the scissors from the cabinet, then brandished them at Father Mei a few times.
"You don't need to swear to the light. If I find out you have any ulterior motives, I'll castrate you with a pair of scissors, so you won't go out and harass young girls."
Startled, Mei's father covered his groin with both hands and quickly chuckled awkwardly.
"No, absolutely not. How could I do something so despicable?"
