Chapter 447: Asking Wu Yali for Help
Zhao Xiaofei returned to modern society, but he never expected that as soon as he drove to the vicinity of his home, he found several police cars parked near his home.
Thinking about how Jiang Xiaomei had betrayed him, Zhao Xiaofei thought that if she returned to modern society, she might betray him as well. So he drove past the police car without any intention of stopping.
Fortunately, the police on the roadside did not stop him. Zhao Xiaofei's heart was pounding.
A few blocks away, he parked his car. He wondered what to do. Who should he contact? He couldn't call his brother right now; he was definitely in custody. If he called him, the police would likely know where he was. He could only turn to other friends, and the one he had a good relationship with was Wu Yali.
So he drove directly to Wu Yali's residential complex. Wu Yali's family was quite wealthy. The complex was also high-end and strictly managed, so his car couldn't enter. He didn't want to be too conspicuous and just wanted to find her secretly, so he simply sat in the car and waited.
Wu Yali has also been paying attention to Zhao Xiaofei in recent years. He has transformed from an ordinary boy into a wealthy businessman. He is indeed legendary.
He also donated a large number of high-quality Ming Dynasty Hanfu garments to their Hanfu Club. Each piece would cost hundreds of thousands of yuan, and the production process took a long time. This made their Hanfu Club the most famous in the country, and people who wanted to borrow their Ming Dynasty garments for photos or videos had to line up.
Wu Yali hasn't heard from Zhao Xiaofei for a long time. She thinks Zhao Xiaofei may be busy with his career and has no time to care about the promotion of Hanfu.
At this time, a phone call came in. It was Wu Yali's mother.
"Yali, let's have hot pot at home tonight! Can you go buy some ingredients?" said Wu's mother.
"Okay! But why did you think of eating hot pot?" Wu Yali asked.
"Today I brought a friend and her son here to eat," said Wu's mother.
Wu Yali knew her mother was going to arrange another blind date for her, so she immediately said unhappily, "Mom, stop arranging blind dates for me. It's not like I can't get married! If you want to eat, eat well. Don't always bring other people home. Hang up!"
Wu Yali hung up the phone after she finished speaking. She sat on the sofa with a pillow in her arms, looking depressed. After thinking about it and calming down, she thought her mother would definitely bring someone with her, so she decided to just go out.
So she put on her clothes and left the house. Today she was wearing Hanfu again. Her green skirt made her very conspicuous and she could be noticed from a distance.
Of course, this was also her most obvious sign. Zhao Xiaofei had been sitting in the car for nearly seven hours, and his patience was almost exhausted. Just when he was desperate, the touch of emerald green clothes made his eyes light up.
So he started the car and quietly followed Wu Yali for a while. When they reached a place with fewer people, he stopped a distance ahead of Wu Yali.
When Wu Yali walked past his car, Zhao Xiaofei rolled down the window and said, "Yali, where are you going?"
Wu Yali turned around and said in surprise, "You? Where have you been recently? It feels like I haven't seen you in years."
Zhao Xiaofei thought to himself: Do you believe that I went to the Ming Dynasty for adventure?
Of course he wouldn't say that. He said, "I just came back from abroad. I saw someone who looked like you on the road, so I stopped in front of you and called out to you."
"The Ming Dynasty Hanfu you donated to us is amazing. Now our Ming Dynasty Hanfu is the best in the country, and many film and television companies are looking to borrow clothes from us!" Wu Yali said happily.
"Really? I didn't expect our club to be so famous. That's great!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"Yes, this is all thanks to you. I registered our Hanfu Club as a company. Now it is profitable, so I quit my original job and focused on displaying Ming Dynasty Hanfu. The Hanfu you gave me are the company's treasures!" said Wu Yali.
"Do I have any shares?" Zhao Xiaofei said jokingly.
"If you use clothes as shares, that's absolutely no problem! Have you eaten? If not, let's find a place to eat and talk!" Wu Yali said excitedly.
"Okay! Get in the car!" Zhao Xiaofei agreed.
Wu Yali got into Zhao Xiaofei's car happily. Wu Yali showed the way and they came to a relatively remote restaurant to eat hot pot.
Zhao Xiaofei didn't dare to use his phone to spend money, so he said to Wu Yali, "Yali, my company went bankrupt and I have no money now, so I need you to treat me to this meal."
"Okay! Isn't it just a meal? As long as you can provide me with more and more complete Ming Dynasty Hanfu, I will have no problem supporting you! By the way, where is your wife?" Wu Yali asked.
"We're getting divorced!" Zhao Xiaofei said dejectedly.
"Divorced? You're not really bankrupt, are you? She divorced you because she dislikes you for being penniless?" Wu Yali asked in surprise.
When Zhao Xiaofei heard Wu Yali ask this, he knew that she thought he was joking with her.
"I'm really bankrupt. Now I'm not only broke, but my company is also in debt crisis. I have to start from scratch," said Zhao Xiaofei.
Wu Yali was stunned for a moment, then smiled and comforted her: "It's okay, we have been friends for many years. If you are in trouble now, I will definitely help you."
"I'm short of money now. Can you lend me some first?" Zhao Xiaofei asked cautiously.
"How much?" Wu Yali asked. She thought if it wasn't much, she might consider it. But if he asked her to lend him a few million, she would lend him 200,000, and then use it as payment for the Hanfu he had given to the club.
"Twenty thousand, but I only want cash! You know, I'm in debt crisis. If there is money in my WeChat, the court will definitely find it immediately and the money will be frozen." Zhao Xiaofei said.
"That's no big deal! I'll get it for you in a minute. 20,000 yuan is too much for me." Wu Yali immediately pulled out her phone and began to fiddle with it. After a moment, she pulled a card from her wallet and said, "Here's 80,000 yuan. Go to the bank and withdraw it yourself."
Zhao Xiaofei took the bank card and said, "I can't take your money for nothing. This is a jade pendant I bought. I'm leaving it with you. If I can't pay it back, you can sell it."
Zhao Xiaofei took the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Wu Yali. Wu Yali refused to take it. She said, "What kind of relationship are we? There's no need to do this!"
"Even brothers should settle accounts clearly! Take it!" Zhao Xiaofei slapped the jade pendant into Wu Yali's hand in a domineering manner.
Wu Yali didn't refuse. She knew the jade pendant, and she knew what kind of jade it was the moment she put it in her hand. If nothing else, it was clearly Xinjiang Hetian jade. If it were sold at a pawnshop, the starting price would be over 100,000 yuan.
"Okay! I'll keep it for you. When you have money to pay me back, I'll return the jade pendant to you!" said Wu Yali.
