Chapter 118 Let Me See Him

"Zhixing, why are you asking about this?"

The old classmate on the other end of the phone couldn't understand why Lu Zhixing, whose business was so big, was so concerned about such a small matter.

Lu Zhixing quickly said, "Old Feng, don't ask so many questions yet. Just ask for me."

"Row."

Although his old classmate was curious, he didn't think it was a big deal, just a small favor, so he called Lin Zhenbang.

Lin Zhenbang didn't want to reveal too many details, only saying that the young man who bought the taxi company was surnamed Chen and was from Fancheng.

Upon hearing this, Lu Youyou became extremely nervous, her fingernails digging incessantly into a dent in the table.

At this moment, Lu Zhixing's old classmate called and told him, "Zhixing, that guy doesn't want to reveal too many details, he only said his surname is Chen, and by the way, he's from Fancheng."

Lu Zhixing thought to himself, there's no need to ask any more questions, it's basically him.

Then he asked, "Do you know how much his company sold for?"

My old classmate casually said, "I know, two million four hundred thousand."

He didn't even need to ask about it; everyone in the industry had already heard about it.

Lu Zhixing looked horrified and pressed him for details: "Are you sure it's two million four hundred thousand?"

"determine."

Old Feng said, "He had a total of forty quotas, which were sold as a package at a unit price of 51,000."

After saying that, Lao Feng sighed, "In just these few days, conservatively speaking, the price per unit of the indicator will drop by another one or two thousand."

Lu Zhixing's expression was complicated. After a long while, he let out a long breath and said into the phone, "Alright, Lao Feng, thank you."

"it's okay no problem."

The other person laughed and said, "When will you come to Jiangcheng again? Let's have a drink together."

Lu Zhixing said politely, "I would have told you in advance if I was coming."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhixing asked Lu Youyou, "Youyou, what does that kid surnamed Chen's family do?"

Lu Youyou shook her head: "I'm not sure, she's just a high school classmate."

Lu Zhixing frowned and said, "It seems he wasn't lying to you. He did use the money he borrowed from you to start a business, and he invested not just one million, but two million and forty thousand."

Because the hands-free mode was on, Lu Youyou was also surprised: how could Chen Cheng have so much money?

How did he manage to cover the other 1.04 million shortfall?

Lu Zhixing then said, “Oh, I advise you to talk to him. He is indeed quite bold, but the market is likely to keep falling. He has spent 2.04 million on 40 indicators. If it falls to 30,000 by the end of the year, he will only have 1.2 million left. 840,000 will be gone.”

Lu Youyou said awkwardly, "I'm just lending him money, I have no right to interfere in his affairs."

Lu Zhixing asked, "So you're just going to wait and see him lose over 800,000?"

Lu Youyou retorted, "Dad, why are you so sure he'll lose out?"

"Isn't it obvious?"

Lu Zhixing said, "Didn't you hear what your Uncle Feng just said? The price of this stuff will only keep falling, it's impossible for it to rise. The guy who sold the company to your classmate was so happy that he treated everyone to dinner to celebrate that such a fool was willing to take over his mess!"

Lu Youyou said with a serious expression and earnest tone, "Dad, Uncle Feng knows everything he said, which proves that he saw what others saw; moreover, the fact that he knew all this and still dared to buy it proves that he saw what others didn't see! So, compared to that, I'm more willing to believe him."

Lu Zhixing waved his hand: "You and he are both clueless about business! The best solution for the two of you right now is for you to call him and persuade him to sell the company as soon as possible. If you sell it now, you'll probably only lose a few tens of thousands of yuan, which won't be a huge financial blow. That way, you can get your million back!"

"I do not want!"

Lu Youyou said very firmly, "Since he said he would borrow for two months, I will not ask him for the money back before the time is up. Although you, Dad, are in urgent need of money right now, he borrowed the money first, and I agreed to it first. You can't force me to go back on my word."

Lu Zhixing knew Lu Youyou's personality; once she made up her mind, no one could change it.

Just like her whole family didn't want her to study medicine, thinking it was too hard, but she still ignored their advice and directly enrolled in the seven-year clinical program.

After a moment's hesitation, Lu Zhixing said helplessly, "I understand everything you've said. I won't force you to ask him for money, but you have to grant me one request!"

Lu Youyou asked, "What are the requirements?"

"Let Dad see him!"

Lu Zhixing said somewhat indignantly, "I want to see what kind of boy could make my daughter willingly lend him a million!"

"dad……"

Lu Youyou said nervously, "Please don't get involved in this matter, okay..."

"No."

Lu Zhixing asked, "Tell Dad the truth, are you and him dating?"

"No!" Lu Youyou felt both embarrassed and anxious, but she still said very firmly, "We are not dating. We are just high school classmates. In addition, he also studies in Jiangcheng, so we look out for each other."

Unable to contain his anger, Lu Zhixing asked, "Isn't this how you show care? I'm over forty, and no one has ever shown me this kind of care before!"

After saying that, he didn't want to waste any more words and said firmly, "Your way of taking care of him is how you two get along. I don't understand it, but I respect it to some extent. But I still have to say it: you have to let me see him! If you can agree, I won't say much about the money. If you don't agree, the first thing I'll do when I get back to Fancheng is to go to your No. 4 Middle School and ask around, and talk to his parents!"

Lu Youyou was on the verge of tears, and asked with a hint of anger, "How am I supposed to take you to see him? How am I supposed to tell him?"

Lu Zhixing thought for a moment and asked, "Is he going home for National Day?"

"Back."

Lu Youyou said, "I made an appointment with him and another classmate to take the train back together on the 1st, but that classmate had something come up and might not be able to go."

Lu Zhixing nodded: "Okay, tell him that your dad is in Jiangcheng on business and will be staying until the 1st. He can come with you and ride in my car."

"what?"

Lu Youyou asked in surprise, "Dad, are you going to stay until the first?"

"Correct."

Lu Zhixing sighed and said with a melancholy look, "The client's situation is also quite special recently. They might not be able to get payment until mid-to-late October. Their production can't stop, and I still have to raise funds to continue to advance the money. I'll visit your Uncle Qin's house tomorrow to see if I can borrow some money to tide me over. Why don't you come with me?"

Lu Youyou shook her head somewhat reluctantly: "I'd better not go. We have classes all day tomorrow."

Lu Zhixing nodded and reminded her, "Don't forget to tell your classmate that you'll go back together on the 1st."

Lu Youyou was really afraid that her father would go back to Fancheng to find Chen Cheng's parents. Helpless, she could only say, "I'll try to ask him and see if he's willing to go with you."

……

Chen Cheng and Wu Haoyang each drank two bottles of beer. After they left the restaurant, full and satisfied, Chen Cheng asked him, "Did you get the appointment I asked you to make?"

"It's connected."

Wu Haoyang took out a registration slip from his pocket and said, "It's for October 4th, the gastroenterology department you mentioned. But I didn't tell them. They've scheduled an appointment for the 2nd to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor."

"it is good."

Chen Cheng took out a prepared envelope from his pocket and handed it to him, instructing him, "Take this money. If the doctor asks your mother to have blood drawn, an ultrasound, or a CT scan, remember to have them all done."

Wu Haoyang took the envelope blankly. Feeling its weight, he subconsciously opened it. When he saw that it was full of hundred-yuan bills, he was so shocked that he trembled all over. His hand shook and the envelope fell to the ground.

He quickly picked up the envelope and asked him in astonishment, "Where did you get so much money...?"

Chen Cheng casually said, "Would you believe me if I said I earned it by working?"

"Do not believe……"

Wu Haoyang shook his head repeatedly: "I couldn't earn this much money even if I worked for a year."

Chen Cheng laughed and said, "Don't worry about where the money came from. Don't feel pressured. This money is just a loan for your emergency use. When you take Auntie to the hospital, if the doctor says there's nothing wrong, you probably won't need to spend much of this money. But if the doctor says further treatment is needed, having this money in hand will give you more confidence, right?"

Wu Haoyang was still very nervous: "But this... is too much..."

Chen Cheng smiled slightly: "I already told you to have some as a backup. Wouldn't it be more reassuring to have more? Just take these and don't lose them."

Wu Haoyang felt that his good brother had suddenly become an elder today, which made him a little uncomfortable, but he was mostly touched. So he nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, if there's nothing else, I'll return it to you when you come back!"

Chen Cheng nodded: "If anything happens, remember to call me."

After the two finished their meal, Chen Cheng took a taxi to send Wu Haoyang back to school before returning to Jiangda University.

On the way, he received a call from Lu Youyou.

Chen Cheng answered the phone and asked her, "Have you finished eating with your uncle?"

"Ok!"

Lu Youyou had just said goodbye to her father and returned to school. Walking alone on campus, she asked him with a melancholy expression, "Chen Cheng, can I talk to you about something?"

"sure."

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Anything is negotiable, go ahead and tell me."

Lu Youyou was touched and said softly, "My dad is in Jiangcheng on business and he said he'll be staying until the 1st. He wants me to go back with him on the 1st. I want... I want you to come with me. Can you agree? If you agree, my dad and I will pick you up at your school gate on the morning of the 1st."

Chen Cheng thought that since Lu Youyou's father was also returning to Fancheng on the same day, it would definitely be more convenient to drive his daughter home together, and riding in a Mercedes-Benz would be much more comfortable than squeezing onto a train.

Lu Youyou asked her to hitch a ride with her. Although she felt a little embarrassed, she was forty years old and not as thin-skinned as her peers.

In addition, Lu Youyou's tone carried a hint of pleading, so Chen Cheng didn't want to refuse her and said, "No problem, otherwise it would be quite boring for me to squeeze onto the train alone. I'll have Haoyang cancel the ticket tomorrow."

When Lu Youyou heard Chen Cheng agree, the clouds in her heart immediately lifted, and she felt a sense of relief and joy. She said with a grin, "Then it's settled. Don't stand me up!"

Chen Cheng nodded and readily agreed, "Just tell your uncle that you don't need to pick me up. Set a time, and I'll go directly to your school gate."
