"Cousin, long time no see!"
Xia Yu sat down and greeted him.
"Are you Xia Yu?"
Qian Xiaozhou looked up at Xia Yu and felt his heart flutter.
I haven't seen her cousin for a few years. How come he has become so handsome?
Perhaps it is the improvement in clothing style + the confidence from within + the professional hair design + the good foundation to begin with, which together have produced a complete transformation.
"It's me, cousin, don't you recognize me?"
"Just getting to know you, I feel like your temperament is very different from before."
Qian Xiaozhou heard from her mother that Xia Yu's family had become rich somehow. Her second uncle and second aunt each bought a good car, and their assets were at least tens of millions, which was even more impressive than her eldest uncle's family.
They are so rich, if they don’t give some benefits to them, can they still be good relatives? In the past, Xia Yu’s family had no money but they could still give 30,000 yuan. Now they must give 300,000 or 500,000 yuan, right?
It just so happened that she felt work was too tiring, so she quit her job and planned to open a clothing store. With this money, she could not only rent a bigger store, but also hire someone to look after the store. Then she could sleep in if she wanted to, and watch TV series in the store if she didn't want to.
The whole family has good intentions, but the money has not been collected yet. Whether it will succeed depends on how the meal goes today.
"Cousin, you're exaggerating. I just had a little more money, so I bought two more sets of clothes."
Xia Yu said modestly.
"Xiaoyu, don't be so modest. Our Xia family still has good genes. Look at your father and then look at you. You are truly a disciple who surpasses his father!"
The younger sister-in-law took over the conversation and began to praise Xia Yu and his son.
At the family gathering before the demolition, my aunt was not so enthusiastic towards them.
Faced with such changes, Xia Yu became alert.
"But you have to say, Xiaoyu, your clothes are very nice, and your dad's are not bad either. What brand is it? It just so happens that your sister Xiaozhou is planning to open a clothing store, so she can buy some men's clothing like this."
Here she comes. As soon as the aunt changed the topic to clothes and then to clothing stores, Xia Yu knew what she was going to say next.
It's nothing more than borrowing money, and there's no telling when to pay it back. When you ask urgently, they'll just call it a share investment. But even if the clothing store can make a profit, I'm afraid I won't see any dividends in this lifetime.
It’s not Xia Yu’s fault that he tried to take advantage of the situation, but this family really has a criminal record!
"Aunt, I'm afraid that won't work. My dad and I don't buy our clothes ready-made. We have them tailor-made. Look, there are even names embroidered on them!"
How many people still hire tailors to make clothes these days?
Really, there are quite a lot, especially the private customization that has become popular in recent years.
Xia Yu also fell into the trap of custom-made clothes. Many of the suits, shirts and coats in his wardrobe were custom-made. They are slim-fitting and closer to the body than ready-made clothes.
The price is certainly not cheap, much more expensive than the new men's clothing products of the season from luxury brands, but the probability of wearing the same clothes as others is also reduced to a minimum.
When buying luxury goods, you may also end up wearing the same clothes as others, especially those popular items. Not only are there many people buying the genuine products, but there are even more people buying the counterfeits.
Seeing the name embroidered on the cuff of Xia Yu's clothes, the aunt and her daughter looked at each other.
While they were surprised, they also reached a consensus with their eyes - only three or five hundred thousand was too little, they had to pay more!
Does Xia Yu’s face say “I’m easy to fool”?
If it's really written, be careful.
"Eat, eat, Xiaoyu, your family is really rich. We poor relatives can't compare. Doesn't your sister Xiaozhou want to open a store? She saw a few good places on East Street, but the rent is too expensive."
It’s expensive, so why do you tell me specifically? You just want to borrow money.
Xia Yu complained in his heart, but he kept putting cold dishes into his mouth.
The hot dishes at Zhuangyuanlou are not good, but the cold dishes bought from outside taste okay.
"Second brother? Help your niece?"
The younger aunt went to see Old Xia. The argument with Xia Yu just now was just a prelude to bringing this up now.
Old Xia looked embarrassed and resisted the urge to look at his wife. He only looked at Xia Yu.
Everyone thought that it was Old Xia who had become rich, but in fact the rich one was his son. All this money was earned by Xia Yu from the beginning to the end, and only Xia Yu could decide whether to lend it or not.
This is a real father. No matter how much he values family ties, he knows where he stands.
"Aunt, my cousin wants to start a business, so our family must support her. But when it comes to borrowing money, you have to repay it and see it through to the end. That's what my father taught me since I was a child."
Old Xia asked for help, and Xia Yu spoke up immediately.
He didn't mean anything else by saying this, he just said he could lend you the money, but you had to pay it back first, otherwise, no deal.
The younger sister-in-law understood what people said, but she definitely didn't want to pay it back, so after expressing her attitude, she had to add more chips.
"Aunt, do you know how our business started? It's because my dad met a guy from Shanghai when he was abroad. He gambled away all the money for his plane ticket before returning home, so my dad borrowed money from him to buy the ticket. Now he's rich and has opened a catering company in Shanghai. He doesn't want anyone else's food, he just specifically asks for ours."
What is this? This is integrity!
The story Xia Yu made up was three-tenths false and seven-tenths true, and it was very convincing. Everyone present except Old Xia and Lin Shuqin suddenly realized it.
We were wondering how Xia Yu's family suddenly became rich. It turned out that it was because of the support of a noble person, or because of the good karma planted by Old Xia in the past.
The aunt couldn't help but put herself in the shoes of Lao Xia's friend in Shanghai. If she paid back the money and borrowed more money and successfully opened a clothing store, then her family would be as successful as this friend.
You're overthinking it. This is a typical case of being fooled by success theory. The main theme of this story is not integrity. The only similarity is that the protagonist of the story owes Lao Xia money, just like the aunt, which makes people have the illusion that I can do it too.
There is no doubt that my aunt's family is very smart and calculating, but they have a fatal weakness, which is greed. When people are greedy, they will selectively ignore some important things and only see benefits.
If Xia Yu makes good use of this, he can make them spit out the money obediently.
As for paying it back and borrowing again, haha, he only said that you have to pay it back, but he didn't say that it would be easy to borrow again.
"Brother, here is 35,000 yuan. The 5,000 yuan is the interest for the past few years."
After lunch, my aunt went back specially and delivered the money to Xia Yu's home.
They are definitely not in such a hurry because they have a change of heart, but the sooner they pay it back, the sooner they can borrow. After the New Year, they can use the money borrowed from Xia Yu's family to do something big.
"Why are you so polite, aunt? We are all relatives, so what's the point of calculating interest?"
Xia Yu said this, but his hands moved quickly and took all the money.
This was all his parents' hard-earned money, and it felt heavy in his hands.
"What about Xiaozhou opening a shop?"
"That's easy. I'll go and withdraw the money after the New Year when the bank opens. It won't interfere with my cousin's business."
Xia Yu is very good at saving face. He has more than 100 million in his account. Once the U-shield is inserted, millions can be transferred out on the spot, but he won't transfer a single cent.
