At this point, she looked at Zhang Anren and said seriously, "Besides, our family of four has always lived a life of luxury, so we have a lot of bad habits. You have to think carefully before answering me. This time I'm serious."

Thinking that a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and Jiang Nansun is obviously testing herself, Zhang Anren promised without hesitation:

"Don't worry, Nansun. I mean what I say. I will always be by your side. From now on, your parents and grandmother will be my parents and grandmother, Zhang Anren. I am willing to take care of them until the end of their lives."

Looking at Zhang Anren's confident words, Jiang Nansun hesitated and asked, "Are you sure you can do it?

If the Jiang family goes bankrupt or even becomes heavily in debt, then this heavy burden will fall on you, because my father has been idle and speculating in stocks for so many years and has no ability.

Zhang Anren, let me ask you again, if that time really comes, will you still be willing to marry me and not despise my family?"

Because he could see the test Jiang Nansun was facing, Zhang Anren didn't think that the Jiang family would be heavily in debt. At the very least, they still had a mansion worth hundreds of millions of yuan, and they still lived a wealthy life that no one else could surpass.

Judging from this, now is his chance to show his loyalty, especially since Yuan Yuan is about to come, so Zhang Anren immediately pointed to the sky and swore:

"Nansun, I swear, whether you are a princess with luxurious clothes and food, or a self-reliant Cinderella, I am willing to marry you.

I will also treat your family well. Although my salary is not much now, I can do some part-time jobs in the future and I will definitely be able to support the family."

"I hope so. I'll wait and see!"

After saying that, Jiang Nansun smiled. Zhang Anren's words just now made her feel for the first time that this was definitely not the sense of security she had understood before. Instead, it made her feel less at ease.

Fortunately, all this is just a test. My father has been speculating in stocks for so many years, so he shouldn't reach the end of the road. After all, the property certificate is with my grandmother, so their family still has a way out.

Twenty minutes later, Jiang Nansun's car stopped at the entrance of Songjiang Hotel. Zhang Anren asked calmly:

"Nansun, don't forget to take more photos with Professor Dong. This is the most important project he's been working on in the past two years. Your participation in it will be a highlight on your resume, so don't underestimate it."

Hearing this, Jiang Nansun felt the concern in his words, but also felt that the layout was everywhere, so she nodded and said jokingly:

"You always take care of everything. How should I put it? Everything is under control, right?"

"It sounds like you're mocking me, but you'll understand later. This person should look ahead and plan for the long term.

There’s a saying that goes, “A wonderful life is nothing more than taking every step carefully!”

"Haha, I'm so jealous. I'm going to the unveiling ceremony. See you tonight!"

"Well, shall I pick you up tonight?"

"No need, just send me the location and I'll go there myself!"

"Okay, slow down, Nansun, watch your step, and we'll see you tonight!"

Chapter 287 Qiu Yingying asks for help

Just when Jiang Nansun and Zhang Anren couldn't believe how serious the crisis in the Jiang family would be, in the living room of the Jiang family on Fuxing Road, Jiang Pengfei, the protagonist in their mouths, was sitting alone on the sofa drinking tea and looking at his mobile phone.

Suddenly, the landline phone rang, startling Jiang Pengfei, who was concentrating on his work. After he reacted, he quickly glanced at the second floor and the entrance, then walked to the phone, picked up the receiver and whispered:

"Hello, I'm Jiang Pengfei. Who are you?"

"Sorry, it's Manager Liu. The stock market just had a little fluctuation, it's all normal, don't worry!"

"It's not that I don't want to pay back the money, it's that the stock market suddenly plummeted, and all the stocks I bought hit the lower limit and I can't sell them at all. How can I pay back the money?"

"No, no, I'm not making excuses, nor am I trying to shirk my debt. Don't worry, as soon as the stock market rebounds, I'll get it back to you with interest and late fees. You don't have to rush me then, I'll deliver it to you personally. Is that okay with you?"

"How could I refuse to pay my debt? My home is right here. I can run away, but I can't run away from the temple!"

"No, let me tell you this. I have inside information, okay? The stock price will definitely go back up, and it will break through 5,000 points!"

"Because I know Ye Jinyan, the boss of Jingyan Group. My sister-in-law is friends with him. He's also their company's major shareholder and chief legal officer. He's my daughter's boyfriend. I just didn't ask for your help because of my pride. Don't worry, I won't lose any of your money!"

"Of course, don't spread what I'm telling you, and don't tell anyone. There will be good news soon. Wait a few days. Do you understand?"

"Okay, okay, I promise to pay you back as soon as possible. This is the last time!"

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Pengfei sat down somewhat dejectedly, looking at the villa where he had lived for decades. When he thought of the 50 million yuan debt, he was stunned again.

He didn't know how long it took, but when he came to his senses, he hesitated for a moment, took out his cell phone and called Han Tao.

After a few beeps, the call was connected. Before Han Tao could say anything, Jiang Pengfei said in a gentle voice, "Xiao Han, it's me, Nansun's father!"

"No, no, I just wanted to tell you that grandma's birthday is in two days. I thought you and Suosuo would come over to have some fun and have dinner together in the evening."

"There's no one else, just Nansun, your aunt, grandma, us, and you and Suosuo."

"I know, I know. I'll have Nansun tell you the time and place in advance. If you can make it, come. If you can't, that's fine too."

"How can that be? I'll book the restaurant. Grandma loves you the most. Having you here is better than anything else!"

"Okay, that's it. Uncle won't disturb you from working anymore. Goodbye!"

.....................

At the same time, in Mingtang Law Firm, Han Tao hung up the phone with Jiang Pengfei. Before he put down the phone, Qiu Yingying called him.

He answered the call helplessly, and after Qiu Yingying finished her nagging, Han Tao finally knew the whole story.

After work today, Qiu Yingying's department manager asked her to go to the Finance Department's Manager Bai to get the insurance invoice. Because she didn't know how to face the other party, she originally wanted to refuse and let someone else go.

However, at this time, only Qiu Yingying was with Manager Li, and Manager Li happened to have a business trip in the evening, so he was in a hurry to use the money.

There was no other way, Qiu Yingying could only encourage herself not to be afraid, and then she went to Manager Bai's office with her head held high. However, she was relieved to find that Manager Bai was not there, and then she handed the invoice to Manager Bai's assistant Nana.

After a while, Manager Bai returned to the office and Nana handed the invoice to him, but Manager Bai deliberately made things difficult for Qiu Yingying, saying that the invoice format was incorrect and she would not reimburse him.

However, thinking of Qiu Yingying's stubborn temper, he lied that he had to go to the factory downstairs to check the forms, then he closed the office and went to a foot massage shop to relax.

Being harassed, Qiu Yingying could only report the situation to Manager Li. However, Manager Li thought that Qiu Yingying was not doing her job well and was very angry. He called Manager Bai personally. After learning that Manager Bai would return to the company at three o'clock in the afternoon, he asked Qiu Yingying to handle the matter as soon as possible.

Qiu Yingying had originally held out a glimmer of hope for Manager Bai, but when she realized that he was deliberately making things difficult for her, she became very angry and went to Guan Juer for advice.

However, Guan Juer was busy today and had no experience in this kind of thing, so she suggested that Qiu Yingying ask Fan Shengmei, or Han Tao and Andy for their opinions.

After she hung up the phone, the first person she thought of was Fan Shengmei, but no one answered the call after a long time. Finally, she called Han Tao and said that she wanted to report Manager Bai and asked Han Tao if this was okay.

Upon hearing this, Han Tao directly advised her, "Xiao Qiu, don't cry yet. If you report this to him now, you will suffer.

Moreover, people like him will definitely turn the tables, so there is no point in reporting him. If you just want him to do things for you, you can just threaten to report him for corruption. The main goal is to achieve your goal.

People like him definitely have bad backgrounds, and he worked hard to get to the supervisory position, so he wants to seize the initiative. He's more afraid of things getting out of hand than you are."

Hearing Han Tao say this, Qiu Yingying seemed to have found her backbone. She said aggrievedly, "But Brother Han, I can't find him now. He's avoiding me, and our manager can't do anything about it. He's deliberately trying to make me feel bad for him."

Hearing this, Han Tao sighed helplessly and said, "You have his phone number, so just call Manager Bai directly and give him a certain time to get this done. And tell him to think about what he did, otherwise he will bear the consequences!"

Qiu Yingying frowned in disbelief and asked in surprise, "Brother Han, is just a few words like this enough?"

"That's right. If you just want him to stop giving you trouble and get your insurance applications processed quickly, then do as I say. Don't make any reports. Otherwise, if things get out of hand, you and he will both be fired."

After hearing Han Tao's words, Qiu Yingying asked in confusion, "I didn't do anything wrong. It was Supervisor Bai who embezzled the money. I should be considered a meritorious informant. Why was I fired too?"

Seeing Qiu Yingying's question was so innocent, Han Tao shook his head and said, "Xiao Qiu, this matter is not as simple as you think. No one's bottom is absolutely clean. If you make a big deal out of this, it will only make everyone in the company feel insecure.

It's just like in school, no one likes students who like to tell tales, so you just have to threaten them, but don't really do it, otherwise your manager won't protect you. "

After hearing this, Qiu Yingying still hesitated and asked, "What if that scumbag, Supervisor Bai, knows I won't dare to report him, and he still wants to make things difficult for me?"

Han Tao said patiently, "No, that Director Bai is just a sycophant. People like him understand the trade-offs and gains best.

He doesn't even have a CPA, and he worked his way up to the position of financial director. He's not taking any chances. Don't worry, he knows full well that if things get out of hand, no one will be left unscathed. And since you're just an ordinary employee, he has more to lose than you do.

Hearing this, Qiu Yingying nodded and said:

"Okay, I understand, Brother Han. Thank you. I'll treat you to a delicious meal when we get back tonight. Bye!"

"Don't be so polite, as long as you can solve the problem, goodbye!"

"Got it, Brother Han. I'll hang up first!"

...............

Chapter 288 The Proud Qu Xiaoxiao

After Han Tao hung up the phone with Qiu Yingying, he found that there were several missed calls, among which Qu Xiaoxiao called the most. Thinking that she might have something urgent, he called her back first.

However, the call didn't go through. Han Tao saw that the line was unconnected. Thinking that today was the day GI came to negotiate, he guessed that she probably didn't get through to him, so she was talking to Andy for help and didn't continue to call.

Han Tao knew the original plot, so he didn't have to worry at all, because Andy could completely help Qu Xiaoxiao with it, and it was very simple for her.

Thinking of this, Han Tao explained his work to Wendy, then left Mingtang Law Firm and set off to attend the opening ceremony of Songjiang Hotel.

At the same time, in the meeting room of Qu Group, Qu Xiaoxiao had been negotiating with the representative of GI brand for quite some time. Because of the last minute preparation during this period, she was able to handle the situation with ease. At the same time, her fluent English also impressed Qu's father.

However, during the negotiation, the representative of the GI brand asked Qu Xiaoxiao how much she knew about the GI brand and why she wanted to be the agent of the GI brand, after all, the project was previously handled by Qu Lianjie.

This question stumped Qu Xiaoxiao. She hesitated for a long time, and finally had an idea. She suggested going to the bathroom and took the opportunity to call Han Tao. However, the call didn't go through, so she went to harass Andy.

At that time, Andy was in the company's conference room, listening to reports from subordinates such as Liu Siming. He originally didn't want to pay attention to her, but Qu Xiaoxiao exaggerated the current predicament, so Andy agreed to help.

After that, Andy asked her to land Qu Xiaoxiao and keep talking on the phone. Both of them wore Bluetooth headsets. Andy provided assistance to Qu Xiaoxiao while holding a meeting.

Qu Xiaoxiao is a smart person. She was originally worried that it would affect Andy's work. After hearing her concerns, Andy smiled and said that her matter was extremely urgent and he could do two things at the same time to help. This made Qu Xiaoxiao admire her very much.

In fact, she didn't know that for Andy, who has a very high IQ, doing two things at the same time is a piece of cake. The main reason is that the problem on Qu Xiaoxiao's side is not that difficult, and the same is true for her lazy subordinates.

Finally, with Andy's help, Qu Xiaoxiao made full use of her expertise and pretended to be very convincing, which fooled the GI representatives. This made Qu's father once again admire his daughter's ability.

In this way, with the help of Andy, her daughter Qu Xiaoxiao calmly answered the other party's questions one after another in English, which made the GI brand representative very satisfied.

The result was also very good. Qu Xiaoxiao's company successfully obtained the domestic agency rights of the GI brand, which made Qu's father praise again and again. He happily took Qu Xiaoxiao home for dinner and said that he wanted to celebrate for her with Qu Xiaoxiao's mother.

At the dinner table, Qu Xiaoxiao's father repeatedly praised her for her ability and how she had changed a lot after returning to China. Qu Xiaoxiao's mother took the opportunity to say that her daughter was much better than Qu Lianjie, who only made the branch company lose money.

With the facts right in front of him, Qu's father was speechless for a moment and surprisingly did not defend Qu Lianjie.

He couldn't help but mutter, "Speak of the devil and he will appear." Qu Lianjie came back soon. He was always a spendthrift, but before he even sat down, he asked his father for money, saying that he was borrowing it for cash flow.

The brother and sister have distinct differences. On one side is the daughter who works hard and has good grades, while on the other side is the prodigal son who only knows how to drink, pick up girls and drive fast. Qu's father, feeling disappointed in his son, scolded Qu Lianjie.

At this time, Qu Xiaoxiao received a message from Yao Bin and others. Her friends prepared a celebration banquet for her. Adding to the bad atmosphere at home, she didn't even finish her meal. She ran out while shouting:

"Dad, Mom, I'm full. I have things to do at the company, so I'm leaving first!"

"This child hasn't finished his porridge yet!"

After Qu Xiaoxiao ran out, her mother looked at her daughter who had saved half a bowl of porridge and said angrily: "Look at your precious son, is he looking for trouble on purpose because he saw Xiaoxiao doing a good job? It makes it difficult for everyone to eat!"

Father Qu was already angry, and when he saw her nagging, he said unhappily, "Can you please stop talking? Don't you think it's not chaotic enough?"

After saying that, he left the table and went upstairs without even eating. When Qu Xiaoxiao went out, she happened to meet Qu Lianjie who had not yet gotten into the car. Without thinking, she ridiculed him for coming back to his father as soon as something happened, saying that he was irresponsible and should work harder on his own and not lose the two companies he had been assigned.

Hearing this, Qu Lianjie said to Qu Xiaoxiao who opened the door of the Polo: "Qu Xiaoxiao, don't be too happy too soon. Don't think that I don't know that someone is helping you. You didn't ask your family for money, but why did that investor invest in you?

To put it bluntly, you just used some tricks. No one is better than anyone else. It's best not to let me catch you, otherwise I'll let my dad see what kind of person you are.

A young girl like you really takes herself too seriously. Don't be too confident and overdo it. In the end, you'll end up with nothing and no place to cry."

Hearing Qu Lianjie's increasingly harsh words, Qu Xiaoxiao retorted, refusing to give in. "You're talking nonsense, Qu Lianjie. You're a worthless scumbag. You're just sour grapes. Don't blame me for not warning you. If you dare to mess around, no one will care if you get punished!"

Hearing Qu Xiaoxiao threatening him, Qu Lianjie patted her car window and said, "Qu Xiaoxiao, who are you trying to scare? You don't know who will be punished in the end!"

"Then just give it a try. I'm too lazy to waste time talking to a stupid guy like you. Let's go!"

After saying that, Qu Xiaoxiao started the car, stepped on the accelerator and drove past Qu Lianjie. Because it was raining, he was splashed with water. Qu Lianjie was so angry that he cursed, but he could do nothing.

…………

At the same time, Andy, who helped Qu Xiaoxiao to secure the GI agency, had just finished a meeting. Her job today was to discuss a new project that Shengxuan Group had taken over in the United States.

When Andy walked out of the meeting room, she found that Tan Zongming had come over at some point and was sitting next to her desk.

"Hey, when did you get here? Why don't you come in and take a look? We're having a meeting on that American project right now."

Looking at the impetuous Andy, Tan Zongming smiled and said, "I don't care about business matters. I'm here to have dinner with you today."

After saying that, Tan Zongming stood up and pointed to the food on the table. It was made by the family chef and he specially brought it to Andy.

Hearing this, Andy looked at Tan Zongming in surprise: "Eat? How come you have time to come here today? Is it just to have dinner with me?"

Tan Zongming smiled slightly. "To be precise, I came here to supervise your meals. When we worked together abroad before, you often forgot to eat, so I asked the chef at home to make some dishes that suit your appetite."

"Oh my god, how dare you, the boss, bother me with such a trivial matter as eating!"

As he spoke, Andy pulled over a chair and sat next to him.

Seeing this, Tan Zongming opened the lids of the lunch boxes one by one and said with a smile, "I know that what happened that day had a great impact on you. I originally wanted to give you a week off, but I didn't expect you to be working so hard these days.

Since the employees are working so hard, I, as the boss, have no way to repay you, so I can only die with you. Also, I'm here to be a listener, so if you have anything to say, just talk to me and don't keep it bottled up."
