It was 10: 30 at night. The garment chain base in Qingpu District of Hucheng was unusually quiet. There was basically no one on the street. Only the street lamps on both sides were trying to hold up a dim yellow light curtain.
Occasionally, a few small dogs would run out. They stared curiously at the Lexus. Under the light of the car, their eyes were as bright as a pair of glass balls.
It was really a little scary at night.
"It wasn't like this before."
Shang Yeonyeon looked out of the window and suddenly sighed. "In the past, this road was always full of luxury cars. At 5 or 6 in the morning, the factories were still rushing to make clothes. The food stalls were even open all night. I didn't expect it to change in the blink of an eye."
"It's the garment industry. It's linked to the policy and the market."
Chen Hansheng said disapprovingly. "In fact, this is a disaster and also an opportunity. If other people didn't make it, but your father made it this time, he might be able to expand his business."
"If he really made it, it's also because of your help!"
Shang Yeonyeon asked curiously, "Didn't Rocket 101 go bankrupt? Where did the 2 million on the bankbook come from?"
Chen Hansheng didn't say anything. His eyes were fixed on the road. After turning a corner, he said, "That's your house in front, right?"
"Yes, I didn't expect you to still remember."
Shang Yeonyeon also obediently changed the topic. It was obvious that the source of the 2 million was not something she could ask about.
After getting out of the car in Shang Yeonyeon's garment factory, the factory was also dark. Only the five-story building not far away had a little bit of light.
Humans were subconscious creatures. If Chen Hansheng didn't know that Shang Yeonyeon's family went bankrupt, he would think that it was normal. Wasn't it supposed to be like this at night?
However, after knowing that Shang Yeonyeon's family went bankrupt, looking at such a scene would always feel a sense of depression.
"Let's go. My dad and the others haven't slept yet."
Shang Yeonyeon led Chen Hansheng to the small building. Her family's garment factory was a combination of factory and accommodation. Qingpu District seemed to be like this.
The front was the factory and the staff dormitory, and the back was the living area for the boss and the housekeeper. However, there was no housekeeper now, only a depressed middle-aged couple.
Before she knocked on the door, Shang Yeonyeon hesitated for a second. "What happened tonight …"
"I understand."
Chen Hansheng was very smart. "We came from school because you wanted to borrow money from me. Coincidentally, I also have money, so I came to sign an IOU. That's all."
The lights in the corridor were dim, but Shang Yeonyeon's eyes were shining because she was looking at Chen Hansheng.
"Thank you."
Shang Yeonyeon suddenly hugged Chen Hansheng so tightly that her arms hurt.
This was a boy whose reputation was very polarized. He had an outstanding personality and was very clear about his likes and dislikes.
In the school, there were many people who hated Chen Hansheng. For example, they hated him for being arrogant, domineering, bad at studying, and not being an obedient student …
However, there were more people who liked him, and Shang Yeonyeon was one of them.
"I will always be by your side."
Shang Yeonyeon raised her head, and her hot breath hit Chen Hansheng's neck.
"Are you thinking about your mother's good things?"
Chen Hansheng pushed her away. "I borrowed money from you, and you actually want to pester me for the rest of your life, are you repaying kindness with enmity?"
… …
"Creak ~"
Shang Yeonyeon opened the door and saw her parents sitting on the sofa. There was a box of cigarettes beside the two of them, and the television screen was black. If it wasn't for her coming back, there would probably only be the sound of the clock in the living room.
"Yanyan, why did you come back?"
Shang Furong was very surprised to see his daughter, and he was even more surprised to see that there was a boy following behind her.
Shang Furong knew Chen Hansheng, and he also had a deep impression of him. Other than Shang Yeonyeon frequently mentioning "how awesome our class monitor is", Shang Furong had planned to treat Chen Hansheng to a meal the last time they met, but Chen Hansheng didn't show up, leaving Shang Furong with money.
"Xiao Chen, good evening."
An amiable smile appeared on Shang Furong's face, and he even complained to Shang Yeonyeon, "Aiya, why didn't you tell me earlier that Xiao Chen was coming over? Otherwise, I would have brought him to Bazhen Restaurant to eat some shrimp and crab supper."
"Boss Shang, you are too polite."
Chen Hansheng said with a smile. He was also sizing up Shang Furong.
The two of them seemed to have aged a lot. Shang Furong's body was originally hollowed out by wine and women, and now, his complexion was even worse. His body was hunched over, and he looked just like an old man.
Shang Yeonyeon's mother used to wear an emerald ring, and later on, it became a gold and silver ring. Now, her mother didn't have anything on her at all.
"Don't call me Boss Shang, I like to hear Uncle Shang."
Shang Furong didn't know the purpose of Chen Hansheng's visit, and he was also pondering about the purpose of his daughter and Chen Hansheng's visit.
"Could it be that the relationship between the two of them has already been confirmed, and that's why they specially brought her here for us to take a look?"
Shang Furong and his wife looked at each other, and the husband and wife thought of the same thing.
"Mom, let's cook some frozen dumplings. Class monitor didn't eat much for dinner, and I am also a little hungry." Shang Yeonyeon said.
"Oh, okay."
Shang Yeonyeon's mother opened the fridge, took out the dumplings, and walked towards the kitchen. Shang Furong also pretended to go over and help his mother. He closed the kitchen door and said, "If he is really Yanyan's boyfriend, what should we do?"
"What else can we do? Yanyan has always liked Chen Hansheng, and this is a good thing."
Shang Yeonyeon's mother turned on the gas and began cooking the dumplings.
"It is precisely because she likes him a lot that I asked what we should do."
Shang Furong was a little impatient, "With this kind of relationship, this is the first time we visit, how can we not give them a red packet?"
Shang Yeonyeon's mother remained silent for a while, "We should give them a red packet, but we don't have one."
Shang Furong hesitated for a moment, "I remember that there is still some money …"
"Don't even think about it."
Shang Yeonyeon's mother directly refused, "That is the living expenses of our family, and there are only two or three months left until the Chinese New Year. You can't let Yanyan go hungry, right?"
"I'll go hungry!"
At this time, Shang Furong still showed the heroic aura of a rich man who used to have millions of yuan, "You can give me my share, and I can pick up any rotten vegetables, but I can't let Yanyan lose face."
Shang Yeonyeon's mother understood her husband's habits very well. After arguing for a long time, she finally compromised, "Then you go and get it. Remember to put it in a red packet, so it will be more formal."
"I don't need you to remind me."
After the dumplings were cooked, Shang Furong carried them out and said with a smile, "Xiao Chen, this is a side dish with sauce made by your auntie herself. You must taste it."
Shang Furong was such a person. As long as he could maintain his face, his confidence would follow. The middle-aged woman in the kitchen wiped the corners of her eyes, took a few deep breaths, and walked out with a smile on her face.
The women in Hu City were quite good at cooking, especially the side dish which looked very delicate. Chen Hansheng tasted it. It was sour, sweet, and crispy.
"Eat slowly, eat slowly."
Shang Furong said as he took out the 600 yuan red packet he had just put in, "Xiao Chen, uncle forgot to give you this last time, but this time you must accept it. Get along well with Yanyan in the future. Yanyan is beautiful and has a good personality. Although she doesn't know how to cook, she can hire a nanny in the future …"
Chen Hansheng was stunned when he saw the red packet. He wondered what was going on. He came here to be a creditor, but why did he become a poor person?
Besides, what he said was wrong. Shang Yeonyeon was going to be his girlfriend?
She didn't even dare to think about it. She didn't even dare to dream about it.
"Dad!"
Shang Yeonyeon's face was burning. This was a big joke. Chen Hansheng now had a bankbook of 2 million yuan, and his total assets were unknown.
"We are back …"
Shang Yeonyeon was anxious and wanted to say it out.
Chen Hansheng waved his hand to stop her, "Do you want to take them to the bedroom and slowly explain it to them?"
This was a mature and thorough way. In front of Chen Hansheng, there were many things that couldn't be explained clearly. It was better for the family of three to talk about it behind closed doors. This way, it would be more thorough.
"Okay, you can watch TV for a while."
Shang Yeonyeon pulled her parents into the bedroom and considerately turned on the TV.
They waited for more than 40 minutes. Chen Hansheng finished the dumplings, and Shang Furong's family didn't come out until Shang Furong's family finished watching an episode of Big House.
The three of them had swollen eyes. It seemed that they had cried.
"Xiao Chen …"
Shang Furong just wanted to say something, but Shang Yeonyeon's mother suddenly coughed.
"Well … Hansheng, no, Boss Chen."
Shang Furong made two mistakes in a row before calling him "Boss Chen".
Chen Hansheng grinned, "You can call me whatever you want. Anyway, Shang Yeonyeon and I are classmates. She should have told you everything, right?"
"Yes."
Shang Furong saw a bankbook on the dining table, but he didn't look through it. It couldn't be fake.
"But there is one thing, Boss Chen."
Shang Furong said awkwardly, "Yanyan asked for a certain amount of collateral. This is a normal request, but we have sold our car and lost our savings. The things at home are not worth 2 million yuan. Why don't we transfer the factory to you first?"
"There is nothing valuable."
Chen Hansheng certainly didn't want the garment factory. This business didn't make a lot of money.
However, 2 million yuan was not a small amount. It was impossible for him to not use it as collateral.
"Okay."
Chen Hansheng's eyes wandered and finally fell on Shang Yeonyeon. She was in the most difficult situation now. She didn't want Chen Hansheng to suffer losses, but she also wanted to help her father.
"Why don't we forget about it first? I don't want to go to the KTV. Let's think of other ways."
Shang Yeonyeon leaned down and whispered in her father's ear.
Unexpectedly, Chen Hansheng was stunned and suddenly said loudly, "What land? I don't want the land. How can you say that? Although the land is not bad, I really don't want it."
"Right, right, right, I forgot about it."
Shang Furong suddenly realized, "This land is not rented. It is our family's private land. We can transfer it to you with an agreement. At most, we will go to the village to go through the formalities."
"Ah?"
Shang Yanyan was startled. She thought to herself, when did I say the word "land"?
