Jiang Cheng was really poor. He used his last sum of money to buy raw materials and paid for the 10 million yuan worth of wheat. However, Jiang Cheng still owed the factory five million yuan. Now the factory kept asking him for money. Jiang Cheng now had a headache whenever he saw their salesperson. It was not easy to be in debt!
Qi Qiaotong had already gone through the entry procedures a few days ago. On the day of her entry, Qin Qin was filled with anger. Although Jiang Cheng had told her that someone would be joining and that the very important Sales Department would be handed over to her, Qin Qin was immediately jealous. She thought to herself, "Does Jiang Cheng not believe in my ability or something? Why did he find such a person to divide my power? Could it be that the Sales Department is personally managed by me? Is there anything that he is worried about?" Qin Qin thought to herself.
Jiang Cheng also clearly felt Qin Qin's jealousy. However, women would always be jealous. He comforted Qin Qin and said, "It's because I'm afraid that you'll be too tired to manage so many departments. That's why I arranged for Qi Qiaotong to be in that department."
Hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Qin Qin's worry turned into joy. She was very happy. It seemed that all her efforts were worthwhile since Jiang Cheng cared about her so much.
However, although Qi Qiaotong joined Jiang Cheng's company and managed the sales department well, it couldn't solve the current financial crisis that Jiang Cheng was facing. He was still poor and short of money.
Jiang Cheng called the secretaries of Secretary Song and Wang Huasheng from time to time, hoping to ask for a loan from them. However, the two officials told Jiang Cheng implicitly that the state was tightening the money supply, and banks couldn't provide loans at will. If he wanted a loan, he must have a good tax payment record for the past five years, and he must have no tax evasion.
Not to mention the latter requirement, Jiang Cheng couldn't meet the former requirement. His new company had just been established this year. How could he have a tax payment record for the past five years? Besides, he hadn't paid taxes even once!
These two rigid requirements shattered Jiang Cheng's dream of getting a loan. The problem was still not solved, and he still didn't have money.
Mino seemed to feel Jiang Cheng's worry. Because when they slept together, Mino often heard Jiang Cheng's sigh, and he often talked in his sleep. He always talked about money, money, money.
One night, Jiang Cheng said the word money at least a dozen times. Mino supported her head with her hand, looking at Jiang Cheng who was talking in his sleep.
The lanterns on the wall emitted a dim yellow light, shining on Jiang Cheng's tired cheeks. Mino looked at Jiang Cheng with distress. She found that he had lost weight, and his cheeks had obviously shrunk a lot. Besides, his beard had grown a lot, which Mino had never seen before.
Jiang Cheng had always paid attention to his image in the company. Under the management of the female army, he had to wear a suit and tie every day. He had to go to work early in the morning, and he had to shave his beard every day.
At that time, Jiang Cheng could really be described as handsome. But recently, Mino found something abnormal. Jiang Cheng hadn't shaved these days. He came here once every three days, and he went home to accompany his parents at other times. That was to say, Jiang Cheng hadn't shaved for at least three days!
What was it that made him not want to maintain his most basic image? It had to be money. That was Mino's first thought because she had heard him talk about money all night.
He must be short of money!
Mino touched Jiang Cheng's beard with distress. The beard was long and prickly. Mino could clearly feel this. Seeing Jiang Cheng so tired, Mino was very distressed. She didn't understand. Jiang Cheng's company had fallen into such a situation. Why didn't he tell her that he was short of money?
Mino's gentle touch woke Jiang Cheng, who was not sleeping very deeply. Jiang Cheng opened his eyes slowly. He clearly felt Mino's smooth palm gently stroking his cheek. Jiang Cheng turned to look at Mino and asked curiously, "It's so late. Why haven't you slept yet?"
Mino smiled and said, "I can't sleep!"
Jiang Cheng asked in surprise, "Why?"
"Because you have something on your mind!" Mino said seriously.
Jiang Cheng understood that Mino must have seen that he was in trouble. Otherwise, she wouldn't have said so. However, Jiang Cheng didn't want to tell Mino that he owed a lot of money. Mino was now worried enough because of the company's affairs. It had been more than a week since Fang Xiang's murder case, and the police still had no clues or suspects.
Mino had put pressure on the police several times, and Tan Mufeng was also constantly putting pressure on Serious Crime Division Two, ordering them to solve the case within a time limit.
However, it didn't help even if they kept putting pressure on the case, because the case had fallen into a dead end. After Fang Xiang entered the company at ten o 'clock in the morning, he disappeared. The security guards of the company also said that they only saw Mr. Fang go in and didn't see him come out. The police believed that the murderer must be someone from the company, and this person was very likely to be in the security department. For this reason, Mino was also worried all day.
It was because Mino had encountered too many difficulties recently that Jiang Cheng didn't tell her about his difficulties. He was afraid that Mino would be more worried. Recently, she was busy every day and didn't go to bed until very late. Mino thought that the information in Fang Xiang's hand was very likely to be leaked, so everything about the development zone must be corrected and modified immediately, so that the opponent wouldn't be able to do anything, especially the pair of black hands hidden in the dark. Jiang Cheng and Mino agreed that Fang Xiang's death was a conspiracy.
Jiang Cheng sighed slightly and said with a smile, "What can I worry about? Don't let your imagination run wild. Go to bed early. You have to go to work tomorrow. You've been so busy recently that we haven't even done that much!"
When it came to a sensitive topic, Mino's face instantly turned red. She asked softly, "What's wrong? Do you miss it? "
Jiang Cheng didn't have the time to think about that. His mind was full of money, money, money. He wanted to sell himself in exchange for a sum of money to pay for the materials in arrears.
However, he was not Buffett, nor was he Bill Gates. He was just an ordinary private enterprise boss in a second-tier city in China, and a boss who owed a lot of money.
The wheat money of the northern grain factory, the water money of the Yushan water factory, the workers' wages, utilities, and so on were now all in his mind. He was about to collapse because of money!
However, no matter how hard it was, Jiang Cheng never showed his troubles in front of others. Even in front of his dearest parents and women, Jiang Cheng never mentioned a word that he was short of money. In the eyes of his parents, he was still their promising son. Although this son had angered his wife and left, it didn't affect anything, because Li Shiya would call home every few days to tell them that she was safe and where she was traveling. She would also invite them to travel with her.
The farthest place that Jiang Zhiguo and his wife had been to in their lives was Shizhou. They went there to visit relatives, not to travel. It could be said that they had never been out of the province, nor had they been to the provincial capital. Now that their daughter-in-law had egged them on, they were ready to make a move.
The two elders thought about it and thought that since their son was not home every two or three days, there was no one at home except for the two elders. They thought that since it was like this, it was better to let their son live alone while they went on a trip with their daughter-in-law.
Jiang Cheng really didn't have time to accompany his parents. When he heard that they were going to travel with Li Shiya, he agreed without thinking. Anyway, his parents had worked hard all their lives. It was not a problem for them to go out and take a walk when they were old. He got a card for them. There were 200,000 yuan in it for his parents' travel.
Jiang Zhiguo accepted his son's filial piety and bought a ticket to France on the same day, ready to meet his daughter-in-law in Paris.
Of course, Jiang Cheng knew all this. Although he was very worried about Li Shiya going abroad alone, since she had already gone, he could do nothing about it. He couldn't drag her back halfway through the trip. Therefore, he had to acquiesce in this matter, but he told Li Shiya to take good care of his parents.
Li Shiya said with certainty, "What do you mean by your parents? Aren't they my parents? How old are you? You don't even know this. You've really lived in vain! "
As soon as Jiang Cheng heard this, he knew that Li Shiya's temper had been vented. Such an obvious hint, if he still didn't understand, then he would really have lived in vain!
After sending his parents away, Jiang Cheng moved to Mino's villa that night. He was ready to settle down here. Mino felt sorry for Jiang Cheng. Of course, she was happy for him to live here.
Jiang Cheng looked at Mino, who was blushing, and said slightly, "Go to bed early. There are still a lot of things to do tomorrow!"
On the contrary, Mino didn't want to give up. She stretched out her hands, put them around Jiang Cheng's neck, and said in a sweet voice, "No, I want to!" Jiang Cheng looked at Mino in embarrassment, and suddenly wanted to roll his eyes. The last experience was still vivid in his mind. It was really exhausting to do this. He said with a bitter face, "Do you really want to?"
Mino nodded his head affirmatively and replied, "En."
Seeing that she was so determined, Jiang Cheng had to say, "Come on!"
Jiang Cheng lifted the quilt and exposed his body.
Looking at him like this, Mino suddenly didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She didn't know whether to do it or not. She suddenly felt embarrassed. She covered the quilt, puffed her cheeks, and said, "Sleep!"
