Those who were rich could be willful. Those who liked to say this often weren't rich people. Those who were truly willful were people like Okubo Chiemi. Her willfulness was something she did with her actions, not something she said casually.
Xu Yun continued to search for the location of the study. Based on his shallow knowledge of Japanese mansions, he could only make guesses. In such a large courtyard, the study was obviously not an ordinary three-bedroom house. The living room was definitely an independent entity.
If he didn't even know this, Xu Yun wouldn't be able to survive. He made a simple judgment based on the possible habits of Japanese and determined the location of the study.
Suddenly, the sound of two people talking in the distance disturbed Xu Yun. Xu Yun quickly hid in the dark. The two Japanese chatted as they walked to Xu Yun's location.
"It's about your mother's illness. You can mention this to Miss Okubo. She knows about your difficulties and will definitely give you an advance on your salary." One of them said, "You've been working here for many years. Don't you know what kind of person Miss Okubo is?"
"I know. I know that Miss Okubo is a good person. She definitely won't leave someone in the lurch." The other person said, "But if I borrow this fee from Miss Okubo, how can I pay her back?"
The first person seemed to be quite dissatisfied with the second person's stupid question. "If you go out and borrow from a loan shark, you won't be able to pay it back. The interest will compound, and you won't be able to bear it. Even the interest will crush you. Miss Okubo won't ask you for interest. You can discuss it with her and deduct some from your salary every month. "
"Deduct my salary? Every month? "The second person was a little hesitant. Obviously, he didn't know what it meant to pay in installments.
In fact, there were quite a lot of Asians who didn't know what it meant to pay in installments. Young people nowadays were a little better. They all knew that things that cost a few thousand yuan would be divided into nine or twelve installments.
Some old-fashioned people didn't think it was necessary. They felt that if they couldn't afford it, then they shouldn't buy it. Ordinary things weren't like houses. They couldn't afford it immediately, so they had to take a loan. In fact, installment was a trigger for the economy and also a stimulus for the consumer's spending power.
Ninety percent of Asians, especially Hua Xia, would think that loans were a burden and that the interest was a waste of money. Actually, that was not the case. It was just like looking at the whole world. Hua Xia people all saved money. Those who had a little money saved a few million, and those who did not have a little money saved hundreds of thousands.
No matter how much money they had, they would stop saving and start doing other things. They would start taking loans … Then, they would start to have huge wealth. They would pay interest every month and live a good life. In fact, many people spent money from the bank.
In Hua Xia, many people would find a very strange thing. Only rich people could borrow a lot of money from the bank, and only rich people would owe the bank a lot of money. In the end, it was these rich people who couldn't pay it back and made the bank admit that they were unlucky.
It was strange, wasn't it? Ordinary people, who earned three thousand a month and had to pay two thousand for the mortgage, didn't owe the bank a penny. They thought that it was a principle to pay back the money.
In fact, this concept was similar to that of Europeans and Americans. It was just that Europeans and Americans preferred to borrow the bank's money to enjoy life in advance and then stimulate their motivation to make money. This was the life of ordinary people. Their rich and famous people were the same as Hua Xia. They didn't need to take loans.
"If you can't speak, I'll help you talk to Miss Okubo." The first person said again, "Don't hesitate. If you hesitate again, your mother's operation will be delayed."
The second person finally mustered up his courage. "Okay, then I'll go talk to Miss Okubo now."
"You go to the study. I just saw her go there." The first person said, "Remember to say it properly. Don't worry, Miss Okubo is a kind person. She will definitely help you. Your number is too big. I really can't help you. Don't mind. "
The second person nodded and expressed understanding.
Hearing these words, Xu Yun immediately raised his attention to the two people. Okubo was in the study! If she was in the study at this time, in addition to reading, there was probably one other thing, and that was to appreciate the cultural relics collected in the study!
It must be like this. Xu Yun's mood was already very excited, and now he didn't need to guess. As long as he secretly watched this person, he could determine where the study was.
The person's footsteps didn't disappoint Xu Yun at all. Soon, he walked to the study that Xu Yun had predicted. Because all the rooms in the entire courtyard were paved with wooden planks, the wooden clogs on the feet of the Japanese clicked as they walked. Xu Yun could distinguish the direction by the sound at all.
Yes, this was the place. Xu Yun jumped lightly and let himself sneak on the roof. After quickly observing the situation and making sure that no surveillance equipment would detect his figure, Xu Yun quietly went to the top of the study.
The Japanese who asked Okubo for help carefully knelt cross-legged at the door of the study and gently knocked twice.
Sure enough, Okubo was in this room. "Who is it? Didn't I say not to disturb me when I'm reading? "
"Miss Okubo, I'm Jianchuan Jiro. I really have no other way, so I'm disturbing you." The Japanese at the door bowed deeply through the door.
Okubo got up and walked to the door of the study and opened it. Although her tone was a little unhappy just now, she didn't mind when she heard that the other party had no other choice. "What do you need me to help you with? Don't be polite, just say it. "
"Miss Okubo, I want to ask you to lend me 15 million yen. My mother is going to have heart surgery soon, and I really don't have that much money." The man said, "So I want to ask you to lend me the money. In the future, you can deduct 300,000 yen from my monthly salary as repayment. I'll pay you back as soon as possible in a few years."
"Your mother is going to have heart surgery?" Okubo was slightly startled.
"I'm sorry, Miss Okubo. I know that I've been distracted by work during this time because there are too many things at home. I beg you to give me a chance to correct myself. I won't let you down. "Jianchuan Jiro bowed and kowtowed again.
Okubo's expression eased a lot. "Tomorrow, I'll tell the housekeeper to get the money from him. As for the matter of returning the money, wait until your mother's body recovers. After the surgery, she needs nourishment to nourish her body. Your monthly salary is less than 400,000 yen. If you want to return 300,000 yen to me, then you can't guarantee a living. "
Hearing this, the other party bowed and kowtowed even more sincerely. "Miss Okubo, I'll definitely repay your kindness even if I have to be an ox or a horse for the rest of my life! Thank you, thank you so much! "
"Don't be so polite. Saving people is more important. If there's nothing else, you can go back first. "Okubo smiled.
"Yes, yes! I've disturbed your reading! I'm sorry, I'm very sorry! " Jianchuan Jiro bowed his head and apologized as he got up and retreated. He was the gardener of Okubo's family and was responsible for taking care of the flowers and plants in the courtyard. He didn't expect that Okubo would trust him so much with his identity.
When he left, Okubo Chiaki didn't seem to have any intention of reading. She stretched, put on her clogs, closed the door, and left. Xu Yun had been watching from the room, watching Okubo Chiaki return to her own room.
