A miraculous doctor descended from the heavens.
Chapter 392 Loan Incident
Back home, Shi Yurou, the unfortunate temporary nanny, went to cook.
Gu Feng and He Qiaoqing, the two young masters and ladies, sat to the side waiting for the meal to be served.
Since she had nothing better to do and was bored anyway, He Qiaoqing suggested, "Brother, since we have plenty of time on Saturday, how about I tutor you in a foreign language?"
Whenever tutoring is mentioned, Gu Feng can't help but think of Youcai, and her pretty face showing pain, and then he can't help but shake his head.
"Let's go plant some flowers! I saw a flower bed built around the corner of the courtyard wall, but nothing's been planted there yet!" He Qiaoqing suggested.
Planting flowers?
He'd be more suited to destroying flowers!
Gu Feng shook his head again.
"How about we go exercise?" He Qiaoqing winked at him playfully.
Gu Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively replied, "But I just finished exercising not long ago!"
"Just finished exercising? What kind of exercise did you do?" He Qiaoqing asked.
Gu Feng blushed slightly, naturally too embarrassed to tell the truth, and quickly changed the subject, asking, "What kind of exercise do you want to do?"
"Playing badminton, skipping rope, or kicking shuttlecock are all fine! Brother, look at me, I seem to have gained weight these past few days!" He Qiaoqing gently stroked her slender waist, revealing a patch of smooth, snow-white skin.
Gu Feng swallowed hard, then quickly looked away: "You're just too thin right now. You'd be much more pleasing to the eye if you were a little plumper!"
"Really?" He Qiaoqing stared at Gu Feng with sparkling eyes.
"Of course it's true!" Gu Feng nodded hurriedly. As long as he could dispel her idea of dragging him to do those boring exercises, he would say it was steamed even if it was boiled.
"Alright then, let's skip the exercise and go wash the car!" He Qiaoqing said, pulling Gu Feng up and heading outside.
"Why wash the car? I already washed mine this morning! Rou-jie's car is shiny and doesn't need washing at all!" Gu Feng reluctantly followed her outside.
"And what about this one?" He Qiaoqing asked, pointing to the car parked in the corner.
Gu Feng looked up and couldn't help but feel ashamed.
Although Su Man'er had just washed her clothes when she left, they were already covered in dust.
Counting the time, it has been almost a month since Su Man'er left, and my pillow has been empty ever since.
Thinking back to their past love and intimacy, and how she could see his charming and beautiful face the moment he opened his eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little sour.
"Brother, why do you rarely drive this car?" He Qiaoqing asked curiously.
Not hearing a reply, He Qiaoqing turned her head and noticed that Gu Feng looked somewhat sullen.
"Brother, what's wrong?" He Qiaoqing stepped forward, took his hand, and asked with concern.
"Qing'er, there's something I've been meaning to tell you!"
Gu Feng knew that He Qiaoqing would see Su Man'er sooner or later, and felt it was about time to give her a heads-up.
"What is it? Tell me!" He Qiaoqing asked with a smile.
Looking at her innocent smile, Gu Feng felt a pang of pity, but a short, sharp pain was better than a long, drawn-out one, and she had to face some cruel realities.
"This car doesn't belong to me; it belongs to another sister. This house inside also belongs to her. She's currently on a business trip out of town, and she should be back in about a month!" Gu Feng said cautiously, looking at He Qiaoqing's expression.
"Oh? Another older sister? Is she like Sister Rou? Will she also cook lots of delicious food for me?" He Qiaoqing asked, clapping her hands.
"Hmm!" Gu Feng nodded, a little anxious seeing that He Qiaoqing still hadn't grasped his meaning. He gritted his teeth and said, "Although she's similar to Sister Rou, in my heart, the two hold different weights. The sister who's away on business holds a much heavier place in my heart, even irreplaceable!"
"Oh, is that so!" He Qiaoqing suddenly realized, then turned around to look at the Cadillac, resting her chin on her hand and said, "In that case, I'll have to work hard and wash this car spotless."
Gu Feng was both amused and exasperated, but seeing her earnest expression as she rolled up her sleeves, ready to get to work, he couldn't bear to say anything more. He sighed and went to find a bucket and a rag.
Before the car was even washed, Shi Yurou had already called for dinner.
The two had no choice but to stop for a break, wash their hands, and go eat.
However, the food Shih Yu-Jou cooked today was noticeably strange; it wasn't salty enough when it should have been, and not bland enough when it should have been, falling far short of expectations.
As soon as they took a bite of the food, Gu Feng and He Qiaoqing couldn't help but look at Shi Yurou.
Shi Yurou, however, seemed oblivious, appearing dazed and absent-minded.
"Sister Rou!" Gu Feng called out three times before Shi Yu Rou finally came to her senses.
"Huh? You called me?" Shi Yurou asked.
"What's wrong? Is something on your mind?" Gu Feng asked.
Shi Yurou smiled wryly. "Of course I have something on my mind," she said, "but which one are you referring to?" She shook her head, feigning nonchalance, and said, "It's nothing. Let's eat!"
She picked up the bowl, took just one bite, and couldn't help but frown—the dish was so salty it was almost bitter!
Looking up, she found the two of them staring intently at her. Her face flushed slightly, and she joked self-deprecatingly, "Maybe the price of salt dropped, so I put in too much!"
Prices are rising across the board, so there's no reason for salt prices to drop.
Shi Yurou had absolutely no talent for telling jokes, and neither Gu Feng nor He Qiaoqing found her funny; they just stared at her.
Defeated, Shi Yurou had no choice but to confess: "The pharmaceutical factory is under construction in a tense but orderly manner, so I've been busy these past few days dealing with the loan. Our bank is CMB Bank, and I've had quite a bit of private contact with President Sun of CMB. President Sun even personally sent people to inspect our factory, and the initial approval procedures have been progressing smoothly. But when it came to President Sun making the final decision, he hasn't given a response yet!"
When it comes to loans, some people say they're easy to get, while others say they're difficult. In reality, it mainly depends on connections and whether you know how to use your skills.
Gu Feng didn't understand these intricacies, but he knew one thing: whenever he asked someone for a favor, it always came down to one word—money!
"Didn't you give a gift?" Gu Feng asked.
"How could I not have? I've given everything I was supposed to, but he just won't give me the final decision!" Shi Yurou said in distress.
"Uh, is that so? They took the bribe but didn't do anything?" Gu Feng couldn't help but be suspicious, and asked again, "Was it because you didn't give enough, and they thought it wasn't enough?"
"I don't think so. I've been generous enough, lending out 15 million, and I've already given out about 800,000 in kickbacks!" Shi Yurou said.
"Does my sister know about this?" Gu Feng asked again.
"I understand, I called her and told her!" Shi Yurou nodded.
"What's her opinion?" Gu Feng asked hurriedly.
"She told me not to rush, to find out what he thinks first!" Shi Yurou said.
"Oh!" Gu Feng nodded, pondering thoughtfully for a while before saying, "Sister Rou, in my opinion, this isn't a big deal. As for the loan, if he refuses to lend it, I still have him, right? It's only ten million or so; I can afford it!"
"Gu Feng, that's not how it works. If we hadn't taken out this loan, or if he hadn't accepted this favor from me, then I would have let it go. But now he has clearly accepted my favor, yet he's not doing anything for me. How can I accept this?" Shi Yurou shook her head and said.
"In that case, do as your sister says. Invite him out tonight..." Gu Feng's mind was racing as he spoke. After a moment's thought, he said, "Take him to Paramount KTV and sound him out!"
Paramount? I'm not familiar with this place!
"Hehe, you may not know him, but I do!" Gu Feng chuckled, saying casually, "I'll make a call later and have someone arrange things. I'm curious to see what tricks this Bank Manager Sun is up to!"
"Okay, I'll call him now!" Shi Yurou said, taking out her phone and walking aside to make the call. A short while later, she returned and said, "He agreed!"
"Oh, that's settled then. We'll see how things go tonight!" Seeing that Shi Yurou still looked worried, Gu Feng gently patted her shoulder and said, "Alright, don't worry. It's not a big deal. Besides, even if something terrible happens, I'll take care of it for you, right?"
As Gu Feng was speaking, he almost blurted out again: "Come on, give me a smile!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Yurou, who had been feeling anxious, seemed to have found her anchor. Without waiting for Gu Feng's instructions, she smiled at him.
"Can we eat now?" Gu Feng asked.
"Let's not eat this. My cooking skills are terrible today. If you eat it, you'll be traumatized and won't dare to eat my food again. How about we go to Juxianglou at the street corner?" Shi Yurou suggested.
"Whatever Sister Rou says is fine, whatever you say we'll eat!" Gu Feng winked at her.
His wicked yet indescribably seductive gaze made Shi Yurou's heart tremble. She really wanted to say: I want to devour you, will you say yes?
