Chapter 18 Shameless Talk
The blonde beauty who was speaking was Su Ziqiang's younger sister, Su Zisan.

In fact, she is the real major shareholder of this store.

Before the Spring Festival, Su Ziqiang, who had always been idle, suddenly had the idea of ​​starting a business by opening a disco.

People say that we are not afraid of rich second-generations squandering money, but we are afraid of them making progress. His father treats him the same way.

He went to talk to the old man, but the old man refused to agree.

The old man threw a sentence in his face: You can live in the disco in the future, but you can’t open it.

There was no other way. With his entrepreneurial spirit still lingering, he set his sights on Su Zisan.

He deceived Su Zisan in various ways, coaxed her into taking out the three million she had saved during her years of schooling, and added his own one million to secretly open this disco.

The family still doesn’t know about this. Even Su Hexiang only found out about it by chance when he came to play with friends during the summer vacation.

At this moment, facing his sister's questioning, Su Ziqiang said helplessly, "Zishan, I've really worked very hard. In June, after less than half a month of trial operation, we made nearly 100,000 yuan. In July, as you watched, we made over 200,000 yuan. I don't know why, but since the end of July and the beginning of August, our revenue has been declining and won't go up no matter what..."

This store spent most of the four million yuan on rent, transfer fees and renovation costs.

The smooth start gave Su Ziqiang full of confidence. He had planned to confess his mistake to his family and pretend to be rich after the store business got off the ground.

But unexpectedly, the business plummeted so quickly.

At this moment, Su Zishan looked at Su Ziqiang angrily and asked, "Brother, August is summer vacation! If you can lose 60,000 yuan during summer vacation, won't you lose even more in September?! There are less than 300,000 yuan on the books now. How long can you calculate how long we can hold on?"

Su Zisan just graduated from graduate school in early July and came back just in time when the store's business was at its peak.

She was very pleased to see her brother running the business so well.

At the end of July, she went on a long-awaited graduation sketching trip with several art classmates and just returned two days ago.

She asked Su Ziqiang several times about the business in his store, and Su Ziqiang said it was pretty good.

Today is September 1st. She called to ask Su Ziqiang about the overall profit in August, and also planned to ask Su Ziqiang to give her some money to make up for the losses.

After all, I had invested all my own money and had been out playing for a month, so I was already short of money.

Su Ziqiang avoided the topic on the phone and only asked her to come to the store for a face-to-face discussion.

She originally thought that her brother was being mysterious and must have prepared cash dividends and wanted to give her a surprise in person.

So she came happily with her best friend.

When the results came, I didn't see any cash, but I saw a ledger.

When Su Zisan opened it, she was stunned.

She knew that her brother could not have falsified the account books, and it must have been due to poor management.

So she asked angrily, "Why did the sales drop so much?"

Su Ziqiang sighed: "There are many people coming, but fewer and fewer people are willing to spend money."

"Don't you always say that you have a lot of friends? You also say that you can make money by opening a disco just by relying on your friends' support. How come those friends are not coming anymore?" Su Zisan was full of indignation.

Su Ziqiang said dejectedly, "Our previous performance was supported by them. They came less in August."

Su Zishan asked, "Have you thought of a solution?"

"I thought about it." Su Ziqiang sighed and said weakly, "I've tried all the promotions and discounts, but there's no effect."

Su Zishan asked again, "Have you ever thought about what would happen if the business couldn't be saved? Dad will find out about this sooner or later!"

Su Ziqiang quickly sat up straight and pleaded, "Zishan, can you see if you can find another 500,000 yuan? I'd like to try to put some money on radio and taxi ads. Let's at least make it until the New Year peak season and see how it goes!"

"Five million?"

Su Zishan slammed the table in anger, "I only had three million in private savings, and you cheated me out of it all! Now I can't even take out fifty thousand!"

The girl who had been silent on the side pushed her glasses awkwardly and said, "Zishan, how about I give you one million for emergency?"

Su Ziqiang was immediately overjoyed and blurted out excitedly, "Thank you, Lu Ning! We don't need so much, 500,000 is enough! When our business turns around, I will pay you back immediately!"

"no!"

Su Zishan flatly refused, "Four million is my bottom line for this store. Not a cent more! Why would you invest when you know you're going to lose money?" She turned to her best friend and said sternly, "Shen Luning, don't lend him money behind my back! He can't pay it back!"

Shen Luning knew that Su Zisan was angry, so she nodded gently and pursed her lips and stopped talking.

Su Zishan looked at Su Ziqiang again and said seriously, "Brother, I don't know how to do business, but I know how to cut losses in time. With such a big business like this, if it's not making money, it's definitely not a matter of investing more money. I have to look for the reason within myself."

Su Ziqiang said with a bitter face: "But the money on the books is still too little. I'm worried about the losses at the beginning..."

Su Zishan said coldly, "It's three hundred thousand. If we can save her, we'll do our best. If we can't, let's hurry up and tell Dad the truth. Don't wait until he finds out and comes to question us!"

Su Ziqiang said with a bitter face: "When I first told Dad about it, he refused to agree. If he knew that I dragged you to open a shop secretly, he would scold me to death..."

Su Zishan asked, "How long do you think you can keep this secret? Until you go bankrupt?"

Su Ziqiang sighed without saying anything, lit a cigarette, and took a few deep puffs in silence.

……

Su Hexiang, who was outside the door, could not hear any sound from inside.

He thought of his words and knocked on the door, but no one responded.

After waiting outside for a while, he simply pushed the door open.

The door was pushed open, and the three people inside all looked sideways.

When Su Ziqiang saw that it was Su Hexiang who came in, a hint of impatience flashed across his brows, but he still patiently asked him: "Hexiang, what are you doing here? Why aren't you drinking with your classmates outside?"

Su Hexiang was about to complain when he suddenly saw Su Zishan there. He quickly stood at attention and said respectfully, "Hello, auntie. When did you get here?"

"I just came."

Su Zisan was in a bad mood and just responded casually.

Su Zisan is not interested in her nephew Su Hexiang.

They are not aunt and nephew.

Su Hexiang's grandfather is a brother of the siblings' father, and Su Hexiang is their cousin.

Su Hexiang's grandfather's branch is the last in the entire Su family, so their family has no status in the eyes of Su Zisan's family, and is even a little despised, which makes them feel like poor relatives.

What really disgusted Su Zisan's family was not their poverty, but the fact that from Su Hexiang's grandfather to Su Hexiang's father and then to Su Hexiang, they boasted about the Su family all day long.

Su Hexiang's grandfather and father used to use the Su family's banner to do a lot of fraud and deception outside, and in the end it was Su Zisan's father who came forward to clean up their messes.

Therefore, Su Zisan's family was very dissatisfied with Su Hexiang's family.

In fact, Su Ziqiang didn't think much of them.

But Su Hexiang was always respectful to him. Whenever they met, he would nod and bow, and compliment him endlessly.

It is said that you should not hit a smiling person, and since he called him uncle, Su Ziqiang could barely give him a good face.

Su Hexiang was already used to Su Zisan's cold attitude. He just smiled awkwardly and didn't take it to heart.

He saw Shen Luning was there too, and quickly said politely, "Hello, Sister Luning."

Shen Luning smiled and nodded at him, but Su Zishan said coldly, "You have no respect for your parents! You should call me Auntie!"

Su Hexiang quickly changed his tone and said, "Hello, Aunt Lu Ning..."

Shen Luning advised: "Okay Zishan, calm down and don't scare He Xiang."

Su Ziqiang was already upset and didn't want Su Hexiang to be an eyesore or a nuisance, so he said to him, "Hexiang, if you have nothing else to do, go play with your classmates. If you don't have enough wine, just ask the waiter. I want to talk to your aunt."

Su Hexiang noticed that the atmosphere inside seemed a little off and he started to back off.

But when I thought about it, Chen Cheng and the other four people were still waiting for me outside. I couldn't just go back in disgrace, right?
He was in a difficult position, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "By the way, uncle, one of my roommates was just outside, shamelessly criticizing your business."

Su Ziqiang frowned and asked, "What did you say?"

Su Hexiang sighed deliberately and said indignantly, "Hey, I kindly invited him to come see the world, but he kept saying that you were going bankrupt! He even shamelessly said he would help you analyze it! What a fucking arrogant thing to say!"

 Please give me some monthly tickets!!
