Chapter 513: Chapter 513: Zhang Yanlin Borrows Money to Open a Store

"Call the police, what police would he call? You’re his mom, he definitely wouldn’t," Zhang Yanlin shook his head and said.

That kid really called the police, then he wouldn’t acknowledge him as his child ever again.

After Zhang Yuhua had spoken, she immediately regretted it. Her own son wouldn’t harm her.

"Okay, stop thinking about this. Zhiguo is also old enough. What could happen? Don’t worry too much.

I’m heading out to Beijing tomorrow to discuss business. Are you coming?" Zhang Yanlin asked his wife patiently.

Zhang Yuhua immediately nodded her agreement. She had to go, she couldn’t let her husband talk business alone with that kid.

What if that kid played the sentiment card with her husband, and her husband, feeling soft-hearted, secretly gave away part of the store shares behind her back?

That store was supposed to be for Zhiguo, and it would be Zhiguo’s property in the future.

"I’ll go, I’ll start packing right now."

Zhang Yanlin nodded and left the house. He hadn’t attended his grandson and granddaughter’s first-month celebration, and he still needed to make up for the missed gift.

As a grandfather, he definitely needed to make a good appearance. If he annoyed Huo Chen, it wouldn’t be good if the store wasn’t handled well.

Zhang Yanlin left the house and went straight to a jewelry store, planning to pick out a pair of silver bracelets for his grandson and granddaughter.

"Zhang Yanlin, what are you doing here? Picking a gift for your wife?" Sun Yan had seen Zhang Yanlin after getting off the bus and had followed him all the way to the jewelry store.

Now, she looked at Zhang Yanlin with a belly full of jealousy.

Zhang Yanlin did not expect to see Sun Yan here. He smiled and said, "My daughter-in-law gave birth, to twins, and I thought of buying a gift for the kids.

Buying for Zhang Yuhua? She’s old now. If I had spare money to buy gifts, I’d rather buy them for you." Zhang Yanlin started getting handsy with Sun Yan.

Sun Yan, hearing this, felt a sweetness in her heart, and her smile grew wider instantly, "You’re so slick with words. By the way, how about that thing I asked you to handle?

When will your son marry my daughter?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yanlin’s gaze suddenly became evasive, "Don’t mention it, that unfilial son of mine quarreled with his mom.

He left home on New Year’s Eve and hasn’t returned yet."

Sun Yan was a bit skeptical, "Really? It wouldn’t be that your wife doesn’t want your son to marry my daughter, would it?

If she doesn’t agree, Zhang Yanlin, I won’t make it easy on you," she threatened.

Zhang Yanlin immediately soothed her with a smile, "How could I dare to disobey you? I’m telling the truth.

The kids have grown up and are becoming more disobedient.

Huimin is like a daughter to me, I’ve watched her grow up. Since our families are so close, she might as well marry my son."

Sun Yan finally smiled.

Zhang Yanlin, feeling the pinch, bought each child a bunch of silver bracelets, and the next day, he headed for Beijing with Zhang Yuhua.

The two took a train and arrived at Huo Chen’s fried food shop before noon.

Now, as school was resuming, many students who hadn’t eaten fried food for a long time missed it deeply, so the shop was bustling.

As soon as Zhang Yanlin arrived, he couldn’t wait to enter the shop and curiously asked the attendant, "How much money do you guys make a day here?"

The attendant looked at Zhang Yanlin with a puzzled face, "Sir, this is confidential, I’m not authorized to tell you."

Hearing this, Zhang Yanlin was immediately displeased, glaring at the attendant, he snapped, "I’m your boss’s father.

And you’re keeping this a secret from me? Be careful, or I’ll tell your boss to fire you."

The attendant immediately looked nervous.

"Dad, you’re here!" Huo Chen called out when he saw Zhang Yanlin.

As soon as Zhang Yanlin heard his son’s voice, he immediately turned his head and angrily said, "This waiter has no tact at all.

I am your actual dad, what’s wrong with asking about your store’s revenue? He wouldn’t even tell me."

Huo Chen quickly apologized to Zhang Yanlin, "Dad, she’s not aware of our relationship. Usually, I’ve instructed them not to let outsiders know our sales figures.

Otherwise, I’m afraid some people might get jealous and start causing trouble.

The business here isn’t too bad, I estimate we might make three to five thousand today."

"How, how much!" Zhang Yuhua, who stood behind Zhang Yanlin, couldn’t stay calm anymore. Such a small shop front making three to five thousand a day?

My God, that’s almost a few hundred thousand a month.

No wonder Huo Chen was involved in rural tourism, just the rent alone is several hundred thousand; doing business is so profitable.

Zhang Yuhua became even more convinced now of her own desire to start a business.

"Huo Chen, the shop you previously mentioned for your dad to run, was it also a fried food shop?" Zhang Yuhua couldn’t help but ask.

Huo Chen nodded. "Yes, now many individual businesses are being established. The manager also wants more people to taste the deliciousness of fried foods, and to further expand the product.

I was thinking about franchising a few fried food shops. There are few such shops now, it’s the best time to make money. If you also want to start one, you should hurry.

The manager and I have already negotiated, and there are seven spots. Yingying and I plan to open another shop in Shanghai, and my grandfather plans to open a few.

That just leaves two spots available."

"Your grandfather plans to open four shops?" Zhang Yanlin exclaimed.

Indeed, typical of the Zhou family, even though they were previously displaced, they still retained a substantial family foundation.

"Huo Chen, the reason I came to find you is that I’m planning to open a shop.

You mentioned before that your friend could lend me money? How much can he lend me?" asked Zhang Yanlin.

Renting the shop front, along with decoration and buying materials, requires one hundred thousand yuan.

Zhang Yanlin could come up with twenty thousand yuan, still short of eighty thousand.

Plus, he had already found a good location near a school with a large population.

However, prime locations also meant higher rent, and Zhang Yanlin wanted to lease for more years to avoid price increases later.

"How much money do you want to borrow?" asked Huo Chen.

Zhang Yanlin stretched out his fingers. "Can you lend me eighty thousand yuan?"

Huo Chen nodded, immediately went outside, and made a call. Before long, Wu Qingsong arrived carrying a bag, exactly eighty thousand yuan.

"You must be Huo Chen’s father, right? Here’s the eighty thousand yuan I brought, but this is not a small amount. You’ll need to sign an IOU," Wu Qingsong said while looking at Zhang Yanlin.

Zhang Yanlin, who had never seen so much money before, was utterly stunned at the sight of the bag full of cash. But as soon as he heard about signing an IOU, he became somewhat reluctant.

It’s just some stinky money, why the fuss, and now asking him to sign an IOU.

"Young man, do you not trust me or Huo Chen?"

"Uncle, even clear accounts make good friends, shouldn’t an IOU be written when borrowing money?

I am lending you this money out of respect for Huo Chen, and I’m not even charging you interest, which is already generous.

If it were anyone else borrowing from me, they’d have to pay interest. If you don’t want to borrow, then I’ll just leave," said Wu Qingsong, as he prepared to walk away.

Zhang Yanlin immediately became agitated and hastily called out to Wu Qingsong, "Young man, mentioning a few words and you’re getting upset? My son has opened such a big store.

He’s making good money; there’s no way he won’t pay you back. It’s just an IOU, right? Bring it out then."
