Chapter 2280 Method
Seeing that her brother was getting more and more outrageous, Yan Ruyu quickly stood up, pulled him and said, "Stop talking, I'll take you to a hotel!"
"Why are you pulling me? Am I wrong? Xiaoyu, don't lose your mind and get so dazed when you see a handsome guy. In this day and age, handsomeness can't make a living. Money is the most practical thing!"
Yan Ruhai looked at Zhao Shucheng who was motionless and said, "Don't think that you are Xiaoyu's only choice. In our hometown, many wealthy bosses are lining up to pursue Xiaoyu, and the betrothal gifts are not less at all."
Yan Ruyu wanted to shut Yan Ruhai's mouth right now. She had spent so much effort to be with Zhao Shucheng. A wealthy son-in-law like Zhao Shucheng was simply not comparable to those nouveau riche in her hometown. She was finally about to win over Zhao Shucheng, but her brother came to make trouble again.
"Brother, stop talking. You don't know anything. Okay, go and get some rest. I'll come see you tomorrow."
After sending him to the hotel and opening a room for him to rest, Yan Ruyu returned to Zhao Shucheng with some embarrassment and said, "Brother Zhao, don't listen to my brother's nonsense. He was just forced into a corner by the debt collectors, so he said something he didn't care about."
Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said, "I don't really care what he said, but Xiaoyan, your brother is in such a debt, are you really not going to help at all, or will you keep using your own salary to fill this huge hole in the future?"
Yan Ruyu was stunned for a moment and said, "I don't know either. After all, he is my brother. I can't just watch him get beaten to death by debt collectors. But my salary doesn't seem to be enough to help him pay off his debts."
Zhao Shucheng couldn't help but shook his head again and said, "Xiao Yan, today I will teach you some philosophy of life. The ancients said it well, don't carry heavy loads when you are weak, and don't persuade others when you have little words. When helping others, you should do it within your ability. If you can help within your ability, you should help. If it is beyond your ability, don't try to show off."
"I don't know the exact amount of your brother's debt, but I can tell that your parents' pension is just a drop in the bucket, at least hundreds of thousands. With your salary, even if you don't eat or drink, it will take you decades to pay off the debt."
"If you offer to help your brother, he certainly won't be able to wait for decades. So if you want to pay off the debt as quickly as possible, you have to think of some crooked ways, such as taking kickbacks, selling company secrets, or even conspiring with the company to deceive the company and defraud investment funds. Although the company is mine and I can let it go, you have to know that gifts from heaven are marked with a price. Your brother's visit this time is a good example."
"Originally, you had just joined the company and could have developed steadily, but because of Liu Haodong's extra money, your brother chased you to the Magic City, leaving you with heavy debts. Do you think you can afford this price? If you take another wrong step, the price you have to pay will increase, and in the end, it will only crush you."
Seeing Yan Ruyu in deep thought, Zhao Shucheng continued, "Actually, I shouldn't have said this originally, because the second point is that you can't help someone if it's beyond your boundaries. No matter how good the relationship between people is, you have to be sensible, know your own position, and distinguish the boundaries between yourself and others. Especially when it comes to your family and private affairs, you can't help or intervene in such matters. Although I can help you pay off your brother's debts directly, do you think this is really a good idea?"
Yan Ruyu was about to say something excitedly, but Zhao Shucheng waved his hand and said, "Listen to me first. Although your brother has paid off his debts, he won't remember the lesson this time. Instead, he thinks that he has a sister like you, so no matter how big a disaster he gets into, someone will cover it for him. So he will continue to make mistakes, even worse than this time. What will you do then?"
Yan Ruyu said quickly, "Brother Zhao, I can't ask you to help me pay off my brother's debt. He caused the trouble himself, so he should solve it himself. At most, I can take out a thousand yuan every month and send it home to my parents so that they don't have to worry about their living problems. I can't help him with the debt problem."
Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "You are right about this. This is also the third point I want to tell you, that is, people who don't know how to be grateful should not be helped. Your brother happens to be such a person. Your parents helped him pay off his debts with their retirement funds, but he was not grateful at all and even despised them. This is a bit conscienceless."
"As the saying goes, a little bit of kindness is followed by a lot of resentment. Although your parents are his parents, your brother should not take their efforts for granted and only know how to ask for things without being grateful. If he treats his parents like this, what about you, his sister who is destined to marry someone else? If you help him once or twice, he won't be grateful, but once you don't help him, he will complain about you, or even blame you."
Yan Ruyu couldn't help but sigh when she heard this, and said, "I also know my brother's temper, but what can I do now? He has already come to the Magic City and even found Sura's apartment. If I don't care, he will definitely go and harass Sura and the others."
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "This is the fourth point I mentioned. Help in emergencies, not in poverty; help the needy, not the lazy. Although your brother is in trouble, he should be helped in an emergency, but he is not a motivated person, so we can't help him pay off his debts. It is said that it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Helping him pay off his debts is only a temporary solution and cannot completely change your brother's situation, so you still have to let him learn to rely on himself and make money down to earth."
"He makes money by investing in stocks based on his luck, and it's only a matter of time before he gets into debt or even loses everything. If he can find a job to pay off his debts, then there's still hope for him. If he only thinks about making up for the money he lost in the stock market, then no matter how wealthy he is, he'll lose it all sooner or later. After all, investing in stocks is actually a form of gambling, and what you're betting on is whether the stock market will rise tomorrow and whether the stocks you bought will reach their daily limit."
Yan Ruyu nodded and said, "I know what you said, but my brother is not good at either humanities or martial arts. My parents found him many jobs before, but he didn't succeed. What else can he do?"
Zhao Shucheng didn't believe that there was really no job suitable for Yan Ruhai, but Yan Ruyu's parents were reluctant to be strict with their child, so they let him do whatever he wanted. This reminded Zhao Shucheng of a story in which the father was also addicted to stock trading, and his son or son-in-law was thrown into a mine to mine or work as a migrant worker. After a year, the other party no longer traded stocks and worked honestly to earn money.
Zhao Shucheng thought this method was actually not bad, so he told Yan Ruyu about his idea.
Yan Ruyu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and said hesitantly: "Is this really possible? I'm not saying this method is bad, but the mine is so dangerous, what if something happens to my brother?"
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "I'm just talking about this idea. In fact, you don't have to go to the mines, construction sites, or some other hard work. This is called labor reform, and I think it will be very effective for people like your brother. You don't have to worry about the details. I will contact someone and send him away. After a year, I guarantee that you will have a down-to-earth brother. As for the debt he owes, I will pay it off for you first, and then slowly deduct it from your pocket money in the future."
Yan Ruyu wanted to say something, but when she saw Zhao Shucheng's expression, she shut up immediately. She knew very well that although she and Zhao Shucheng were now in a relationship, there would be variables as long as they were not married.
If I make Zhao Shucheng unhappy, Zhao Shucheng can just choose to break up with me. There are many girls who like him and can't wait to marry him. But I can't find such a good husband again. Other men may not even like him at that time, which is a waste of my opportunity.
Zhao Shucheng couldn't help but smile when he saw Yan Ruyu didn't object. In fact, Yan Ruyu is really like her brother, both are sophisticated egoists, and even have little gratitude. In the original plot, when Su La knew that Yan Ruyu added attractions without authorization to pay off her brother's debts and took the opportunity to collect more money from guests, she secretly sent 5,000 yuan to Yan Ruyu's home.
However, Yan Ruyu did not appreciate this behavior. Instead, she felt that Sura was meddling in other people's business and became even more dissatisfied with Sura. However, when facing Zhao Shucheng, Yan Ruyu did not dare to express any dissatisfaction, and even had to find excuses for Zhao Shucheng from various angles. This can be regarded as a typical fear of power rather than virtue.
Yan Ruyu was actually somewhat dissatisfied with her brother. Even if she pestered Zhao Shucheng to pay off the debt, she knew that he was idle all day long, and she would have to support him in the future.
After Zhao Shucheng and his friends returned home, Yan Ruyu was very flattering to Zhao Shucheng, which made Zhao Shucheng very satisfied.
The next day.
Yan Ruyu did not go to work and went straight to find her brother Yan Ruhai.
When Yan Ruhai saw Yan Ruyu coming by herself, he immediately showed an arrogant face and said, "Xiaoyu, you are finally here. I don't live here. The room here is not good at all, and the rent is not cheap at all. Let's go look at houses. By the way, let me tell you, the man who came with you yesterday didn't seem to care about you at all. If I let you live here, wouldn't it be a slap in your face?"
Yan Ruyu looked at Yan Ruhai and said, "Brother, when are you going to go back home?"
"Why go back? I came here to seek refuge with you. If I go back, those creditors will eat me up. I have made up my mind. I will stay in the Magic City."
"Then what are you going to do?"
Yan Ruhai said, "I don't know, let's wait and see. But I think this side of Shanghai is where the Shanghai Stock Exchange is located, so it's more convenient to trade stocks. Xiaoyu, find a way to get some money from Zhao Shucheng, and we can trade stocks together. I tell you, a woman should have some money to rely on, otherwise she will be kicked out someday, and your youth will be wasted."
Yan Ruyu thought her brother was a little ridiculous and said, "Really? Do you think you have a talent for stock trading? You've already incurred a lot of debt from stock trading before, and you don't even know when you'll pay it off. Do you think I'll be dreaming of a pie in the sky like you?"
"How can you say that? I was just unlucky, but I'm well-informed here, and I'm sure I'll make some money. Maybe I can turn my life around in one go."
Seeing her brother's refusal to repent, Yan Ruyu couldn't help but think of the method Zhao Shucheng mentioned yesterday. She suddenly felt that perhaps only this way could her brother turn over a new leaf.
She called Zhao Shucheng directly and asked him to find someone to take her brother away for reform. She also agreed to deduct the money from Zhao Shucheng's salary to repay the debt.
After Zhao Shucheng received Yan Ruyu's call, he couldn't help but smile. It seemed that Yan Ruhai really made Yan Ruyu helpless, so she agreed.
Yan Ruhai was still thinking about going with Yan Ruyu to look at the house, but he didn't expect that after walking out of the hotel, he was escorted into a van by several people, and then was taken directly out of the Magic City and to a construction site.
He repeatedly stressed that he was not here to work, that his sister had found a rich husband, and that he would definitely pay back the money. But they ignored Yan Ruhai and even warned him to work honestly here, and if he dared to run away, they would break his legs.
Seeing these vicious people, Yan Ruhai immediately became obedient and could only follow others to start working. It's not that he didn't think about running away secretly, but he didn't expect that there would be someone following him directly to monitor him, and not doing any other work.
He tried his best to persuade the other party that he would not run away and asked him not to watch him and just do his job.
Unexpectedly, the other party told him directly that his job was to keep an eye on Yan Ruhai and prevent him from running away, and his salary would be calculated based on the price of the best security guard in Shanghai.
Yan Ruhai now knew that he had no way to escape. Even if he wanted to call home, he had no money and no cell phone.
After her brother was sent away, Yan Ruyu called home to explain the situation and said that she would transfer the money in two days and asked her parents to pay off the debt as soon as possible.
When Yan Ruyu's parents heard the news, they felt sorry for their beloved son, but now the situation was like this, they were powerless to change anything. However, when they heard that Yan Ruyu had received a sum of money to pay off their debts, they asked Yan Ruyu where the money came from with some concern.
This time, Yan Ruyu did not directly tell her parents that the money was from her boyfriend. She said that she borrowed it from the company and needed to work in the company for a long time to repay the debt.
Yan Ruyu's parents could only sigh and said that Yan Ruyu's boss was a good boss and asked Yan Ruyu to work hard under the boss.
Yan Ruyu blushed immediately, the other party was indeed a good boss, and she did work hard under him. However, it was not what her parents thought, instead she had to sleep with him every day.
The family's debt problem was solved, and someone helped educate her brother. Yan Ruyu suddenly felt that the mountain that weighed on her was gone, and she could finally breathe a sigh of relief. She became more and more grateful to Zhao Shucheng, and she wanted to run to Zhao Shucheng and kiss him right now. (End of this chapter)
