Chapter 514: Chapter 514: Hosting Another Full Moon Party
Wu Qingsong pulled out the IOU, and Zhang Yanlin looked straight at his son.
Huo Chen found Zhang Yanlin’s action somewhat amusing and said, "Dad, just sign your name on it."
Zhang Yanlin coughed and pretended, "Son, it’s not that I don’t want to sign this IOU, but my job nature doesn’t allow me to sign.
Otherwise, you sign it for me. Once my store earns some money, I’ll pay you back."
As soon as Zhang Yuhua heard this, she immediately followed, "Exactly, Huo Chen, your dad’s job is in a formal institution, and they don’t allow employees to owe debts outside."
Huo Chen found this excuse very amusing; who cares about debts when you are employed.
"Dad, that’s not right. Making my husband sign is even more inappropriate. My husband and I are running a store and managing rural tourism, and we urgently need money.
The government is promoting loans now, but the prerequisite is good personal credit, no debts. What if we need money urgently after signing this IOU for you?" Xu Ying smiled as she looked at Zhang Yanlin.
Xu Ying’s gaze was bright, and Zhang Yanlin felt somewhat guilty facing his daughter-in-law’s eyes, as if all his little schemes were seen through.
He coughed dryly, and Wu Qingsong lost his patience, his face darkened as he looked at her, "Uncle Zhang, are you lending this money or not? If you are, just sign the IOU quickly, I have other things to attend to."
"Borrow, borrow, borrow, I’ll write, isn’t that fine?" Zhang Yanlin had no choice but to grit his teeth and sign his name.
Huo Chen watched him with a smirk.
Zhang Yanlin felt utterly embarrassed and awkwardly pulled out from his pocket a silver bracelet he had bought the day before, "Huo Chen, I didn’t attend your child’s full-month celebration.
These two pairs of bracelets are a small gesture from me and your Aunt Zhang, for the child."
"Thanks, Dad." Xu Ying unceremoniously took the bracelets.
She turned and left, while Zhang Yuhua’s expression changed repeatedly.
This guy actually went behind her back and bought such nice things for that bastard’s grandson.
Wu Qingsong took the IOU and handed over the money.
Zhang Yanlin took the money and looked excitedly at his son, "Huo Chen, I’ve found a location for the store, what should we do next?"
"Next, we can lease the premises, then start the renovations and wait to open for business." Huo Chen listed all the tasks for Zhang Yanlin.
The store arrangements were already discussed, and Huo Chen got up to leave.
Zhang Yanlin immediately called his son back, "You insisted on holding the child’s full-month celebration at your mother-in-law’s.
I can let that go, but since you’re back, we should also have another full-month celebration for the child at our home.
See when you’re free and come back to Shanghai with me."
Upon hearing her husband’s words, Zhang Yuhua immediately became anxious and pulled on his arm, "Are you burning through money?
Isn’t holding a full-month celebration going to cost money?"
"What do you know about family matters?" Zhang Yanlin glared and whispered to his wife.
Huo Chen had no objections; he was going to Shanghai anyway, and holding one more celebration wasn’t a problem, especially since he wanted to see what Zhang Yanlin was up to.
Zhang Yanlin saw his son nod and excitedly pulled his wife out of the store.
Once outside, Zhang Yuhua looked sullen, "Zhang Yanlin, I knew the moment your son came back, Zhiguo would mean nothing.
Those two pairs of silver bracelets must have cost a lot of money, and besides, you still want to throw a huge wedding for these kids. Do you really like Zhou Yuelian’s grandson?"
Upon hearing his wife’s words, Zhang Yanlin immediately felt displeased, "What do you mean Zhou Yuelian’s grandson? That’s my own grandson too!"
"You know, you’re just too petty," he said, "Think about it, if I go back and host a full-moon banquet, I’ll rake in a good amount of gift money.
Zhou Yuelian’s former friends were all from wealthy families, once we invite them, not to mention the full-moon banquet, I could even make back the money for a silver bracelet.
Plus, with my shop opening, some publicity is inevitable, and these influential people will definitely help boost my business."
He said, looking proudly at the sky, never imagining that he, Zhang Yanlin, could one day become a big boss.
Zhang Yuhua was reminded by her man and suddenly realized, looking at her husband with great admiration, "Oh my, how come I never thought of that.
You’re so clever, wow, with your brain, our shop is definitely going to make money."
With pride plastered across his face, Zhang Yanlin, carrying a bag of money, returned with Zhang Yuhua to rent the shop space.
Since Xu Ying had left the rural tourism in Yu County, the number of visitors had started to decrease.
Mrs. Xu sat in the hotel, her face filled with worry, "How come the visitors just dwindled like that? This morning we had three or four groups, and none in the afternoon, what’s going on?"
Eldest Sister-in-law Xu also looked worried; if this kept up, the rural tourism might start losing money.
"Auntie, sister, don’t worry, places like this tourist spot definitely have their off-season.
The new year just ended, and many people must have gone back to work, they surely don’t have time to travel. Come Sunday, we’ll definitely see more visitors," Zhi Yun smiled as she stepped out of the hotel.
She really liked the rural tourism in Xujia Village, so much so that she bought an annual pass and planned to stay here for a long time.
As she changed her address, she guessed her readers might have received it by now; she wondered if they had written to her.
"Miss Zhi Yun, we finally found you, there was a letter for you early this morning, we went out and looked for you for a long time, never guessed you were still in your room." Mrs. Xu looked at her speechlessly.
This girl must have slept all day long in the room.
A bit embarrassed, Zhi Yun, who was more of a homebody and particular about her writing, preferred staying alone in a quiet room.
"Auntie, where’s the letter? I wrote until very late last night and slept in a bit during the day," Zhi Yun said sheepishly.
Mrs. Xu immediately took out a stack of letters and handed them to Zhi Yun, even more baffled by why so many people would write to her.
What an odd person.
Zhi Yun took the letters and hurried up the stairs, her correspondents were fans who held her in great esteem.
Moreover, she found these fans easy to talk to, much like soulmates.
Excited, she opened the letters only to see her face instantly darken.
Each letter contained complaints and foul language directed at her.
Disbelievingly unfolding each one, her expression grew uglier by the second. And when she saw a particular photo, she trembled with anger, "What is this?
Wherever these broken pictures were taken, how dare they slander by claiming this is the rural tourism of Xujia Village."
Furious, Zhi Yun swiftly wrote back to these people, including pictures of the scenery she had taken herself, and sent them off.
"What’s wrong, what happened? You look so upset!" Mrs. Xu watched the young woman, curious about her apparent anger.
Full of indignation, Zhi Yun pulled out the letters and photos.
Mrs. Xu, not being literate, had Eldest Sister-in-law Xu read them aloud: "Big shot Zhi Yun, I never thought you’d be someone who’d stop at nothing for profit.
The rural tourism you spoke of doesn’t match the promotions at all. Are you lying just because of Minister Xu?
I really liked Minister Xu who always worked for his hometown, for the country..." Eldest Sister-in-law Xu’s face darkened as she read on.
