Financial freedom starts with the pursuit of a cool female doctor

Chapter 16 Abin's primary school grades were not ideal

After hearing this, the man on the escalator turned around, and the moment their eyes met, they recognized each other's identities.

The man was a little surprised:

"Azhuo? Why are you here?"

He walked down the escalator with the little boy and came to Zhuo Tong with a kind smile on his face.

"I just finished working out at the gym upstairs and was just looking for somewhere to eat. How about you?"

It is already six o'clock in the evening. Zhuo Tong started exercising at noon and is now hungry.

"My son goes to primary school nearby. I'm busy looking after the shop and sometimes I'm too lazy to go home to cook, so I bring him here to eat. He just finished his meal."

You know, the catering brands in Qianxiang City are all nationally renowned high-end catering brands, and they cost a lot of money.

A Tao often brings his son to eat, so you can imagine how rich and inhumane he is.

He pulled the boy's hand:

"Come on, Abin, call me uncle."

"Hello, uncle~"

Zhuo Tong leaned over and touched Abin's head with a smile.

"You're so good, little boy. What's your name?"

The boy raised his hand, made a gesture symbolizing the number six, and answered in a baby voice:

"My name is Liang Zhibin. I'm six years old and in elementary school."

"The last time I saw your son was when he was just one year old. Now he's in elementary school? Oh, I'm really old."

The man in front of him was named Liang Tao, Zhuo Tong's childhood friend. They were the same age and grew up on the same street.

He was not a good student when he was young, so he graduated from a technical secondary school and started to work. Now he has a family and a career.

Zhuo Tong looked at Liang Tao and his son, and suddenly felt a little emotional.

I was a good student when I was in school, and I thought that I would be able to succeed if I just focused on studying. But after entering society, I realized that I also needed to understand the ways of the world and a bit of luck.

Now my peers’ children are already six years old, but I don’t even have a girlfriend.

"By the way, Atao, the 30,000 yuan I borrowed from you before..."

As Zhuo Tong spoke, he took out his cell phone from his pocket and planned to transfer the money to pay him back.

Liang Tao was quick-witted and rushed forward, grabbing his hand:

"What are you talking about? Auntie is sick and in urgent need of money. You can hold on to the money I have for the rest of your life."

"Your money didn't fall from the sky. How can I delay paying it back forever? Otherwise, it will affect your business."

Seeing that Zhuo Tong was determined to transfer the money, Liang Tao snatched the phone away:
"I said there's no rush to pay it back, but you're not giving me face? Given our relationship, no matter how many times you borrow money, I'll never ask you to pay it back."

"And the money I lent you is all my own and has nothing to do with business."

Back then, after graduating from technical secondary school, Liang Tao worked as a network administrator in an Internet cafe. He accidentally met a gang leader and started hanging out with him.

Now he has opened his own billiard hall, Internet cafe, and KTV. He is considered a small boss and has a group of brothers under him.

He would occasionally lend the extra money to friends at a reasonable interest rate, and Zhuo Tong had borrowed it several times for emergencies, especially after his mother fell ill.

"Don't worry, I'm making money now, and I've paid enough to my mom."

Zhuo Tong pushed Liang Tao's hand away and took back the phone:
"Including principal and interest, plus the gift for your son's schooling, it's thirty-eight thousand."

"Ding Dong"

Liang Tao took out his mobile phone and saw a payment notification from Zhifubao.

He looked at the news in astonishment, then glanced at Zhuo Tong, somewhat incredulous:

"Are you really rich? You're not just robbing Peter to pay Paul, are you?"

"If I really have money, don't worry."

These 38,800 yuan is just a drop in the bucket compared to Zhuo Tong's million-dollar fortune.

The other party has always helped me so much. When my mother suddenly became seriously ill and I had no money, Liang Tao helped me pay for it.

Now that I have money, it is even less likely that I will continue to default.

Liang Tao nodded, finally feeling relieved.

He knew Zhuo Tong's family situation. They were originally an ordinary family, but their situation became even more difficult after his father passed away.

When his childhood friend, whom he had grown up with, was in trouble, he helped without hesitation because he was loyal.

He even had conflicts with his wife because he often helped Zhuo Tong unconditionally.

"Come to think of it, since it's inconvenient for you to cook, why don't you let your sister-in-law cook?" Liang Tao's wife does not have a main job. She is usually in charge of accounting and occasionally inspects the store.

He was responsible for negotiating business, soliciting investment and entertaining, opening branches everywhere, recruiting employees, etc.

It is a fairly traditional family with the man working outside and the woman working inside.

Therefore, his wife is relatively free and has been concentrating on taking care of the children, cooking and doing housework.

"Oh, don't mention it. She said I was unstable and wanted to separate, so she went back to her parents' home."

"Why? You didn't empty out all your family savings and use it to open a shop as an investment, did you?"

Zhuo Tong was still quite surprised. The two had been in love since they were eighteen years old and had been in love for seven years.

Liang Tao is a relatively calm and mature person. He is a typical underworld big brother who is both benevolent, righteous and polite. How could he not be steady enough?
"She said I often hang out with my brothers, and my son is not young anymore, so she doesn't want him to be affected."

"That does make sense. We've been vigorously cracking down on organized crime recently. Although you're not involved in organized crime, you're still a social group with a certain degree of influence."

"Even if you're retiring now and your intentions are good, it will be troublesome if your subordinates make mistakes when carrying out the plan."

Liang Tao nodded silently, then looked at his son again, his eyes full of love and worry.

He has also been through the ups and downs of life in society, so how could he not know the impact of a bad environment on a child's growth.

If possible, I still hope that my son can stay away from these and grow up in a carefree and healthy environment.

Internet cafes, billiard halls, and KTVs are all entertainment venues. I can’t say all of them are, but it is inevitable that some idle people in society will gather there.

Zhuo Tong patted Liang Tao's shoulder and comforted him:
"The best way is to formalize and groupize, such as setting up a company. It would be much more convenient to manage all the stores in a unified manner."

"And if you set up a company and provide some professional and formal training so that all your brothers can be hired as full-time employees, your sister-in-law won't worry anymore."

Although it was a good idea, Liang Tao still shook his head and smiled bitterly:

"It's easy to say, but you know me, I'm not very smart. Unlike you, who has a college education and understands business management."

As he was talking, he suddenly realized and looked at Zhuo Tong with a smile:

"Yes! Why not let you come? I have money and you have brains!"

"If you ever want to start a company, remember to tell me. I'll invest heavily and count on you to lead us to great success."

After saying this, he stared at Zhuo Tong intently, wanting to see his reaction and opinion.

Zhuo Tong certainly would not refuse this proposal:

"What a coincidence! You and I thought the same thing. I just quit my job not long ago and am planning to use my savings to start a business."

"When the company is in place, I will notify you immediately and bring you in as a shareholder. Then, based on the type of company, I will arrange for your brothers to come in."

"No problem. I'll say this on their behalf. We're counting on you."

Liang Tao's idea coincided with Zhuo Tong's. To establish a company and expand its scale, a large amount of capital investment was needed in the initial stage.

The more than one million yuan he has on hand is definitely not enough. He needs to get at least a few more cashbacks of more than 1%.

But if we can get Liang Tao's investment now, the financial pressure and the initial difficulties of lack of personnel can be greatly alleviated.

Zhuo Tong felt that he was one step closer to his dream.

"Dad, I'm so sleepy. Can I not do my homework when I get home tonight?"

"You wish! I'll tutor you personally today. If you don't finish your homework, I won't take you out to play next time."

Liang Zhibin pouted, feeling somewhat disappointed:

"All right……"

Looking at his son's appearance, Liang Tao frowned, looking like he was worried about something.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing, it's just that my child inherited some bad genes, and he just happened to inherit my dislike for studying, so his grades are very poor."

"The final exams are coming up soon. I want to focus on my homework and improve my grades so that I don't get criticized again at the parent-teacher conference and make my father and I look good."

Zhuo Tong nodded in understanding, but he felt that the child was still young and there was no need to push him so hard:
"Besides studying, you might as well let him try other hobbies. What if he has special talents in other areas?"

"Okay, let's see if we get a chance. I'll go back and help him with his homework. I'll ask you out for a drink when we're free."

"no problem."

After the two parted, Liang Tao had just walked out when he received a phone call.

After glancing at the caller's name, he immediately answered the call unhappily:
"Hey, A Mao, what's wrong?"

The person on the other end was so excited that he stuttered:

"Tao...Brother Tao! I think I found...found out where that guy lives!"
