Eight years have passed, he's still going strong, but his girlfriend is having a mental breakdo

"Sir, we really can't keep this billiards hall open anymore."

Zhang Yiwen tried hard to remain calm, but she couldn't hide the sobbing in her voice no matter what she did.

She thought Zhao Hong'an still had high hopes for them and wanted them to continue running the billiard hall business.

However, they have already messed things up.

Zhang Yiwen felt extremely guilty towards Grandpa Zhao.

"Oh? What happened?"

Zhao Hongan finally understood.

Knowing she couldn't hide it any longer, Zhang Yiwen took a deep breath, mustered her courage, and recounted everything that had happened the day before.

She became increasingly upset as she spoke, and couldn't help but sob.

Grandpa Zhao trusted her so much that he transferred 500,000 yuan to her without any hesitation to support her business.

But she ruined her entrepreneurial dream in just one day.

At the same time, it also ruined Grandpa Zhao's trust.

"laugh."

On the other end of the phone, Grandpa Zhao let out a sneer.

Zhang Yiwen's face turned pale.

Grandpa Zhao, does this mean you don't believe what she said?

That makes sense, though.

This is indeed a coincidence, and it's too unbelievable.

In just one day, she lost over 100,000 yuan...

Well, strictly speaking, even if you lose all 500,000, you still won't be able to fill the hole.

It looks like she's ripping off Grandpa Zhao.

"Uncle Zhao, don't worry. These mistakes were mine. I'll take full responsibility for these losses."

"Right now, I have more than 380,000 left... Of the remaining 110,000, 110,000 was the transfer fee, and the other few thousand was what we spent on buying things for the billiard hall."

"I'll transfer the rest of the money to you right now. I'll try to raise the money I've already spent. Please give me a few days, and I'll pay you back as soon as possible."

Zhang Yiwen gritted her teeth.

She decided that no matter the cost, she would raise enough money within a few days to return it all to Grandpa Zhao, so as not to disappoint him.

"Are you all alright?"

Zhao Hongan suddenly asked a question.

Zhang Yiwen paused for a moment, then shook her head: "We're alright..."

"It's good that everyone's alright," Zhao Hong'an said. "It's just a loss of a few hundred thousand, no big deal. With you sounding so serious, I thought something terrible had happened. Don't worry, with me here, the sky won't fall."

"But, sir..."

"No buts. Anything that can be settled with money isn't a problem. Please wait a moment."

Zhao Hongan interrupted Zhang Yiwen, gave an order, and then hung up the phone.

Zhang Yiwen stood there, stunned.

Grandpa Zhao is still the same kind-hearted Grandpa Zhao.

She said she lost money, but she wasn't concerned about the money; she was concerned about people first.

That alone is already remarkable.

It's just a loss of a few hundred thousand, no big deal...

Don't worry, with Grandpa here, the sky won't fall...

Anything that can be settled with money isn't a problem...

The old man's few words warmed her heart.

"How is it? How is it?"

Hanhan and Duoduo both came over and asked.

"The old man wasn't angry. He seemed to have something to do and hung up the phone. I'll call him back in a bit. Judging from his tone, he should be able to agree to our plan. We'll transfer the remaining 380,000 yuan to him first, and the remaining 110,000 or 120,000 yuan can be considered as what we owe him. We'll pay it back slowly in the future, and at worst, we'll offer to calculate the interest for him."

Zhang Yiwen is a renowned planner.

They would be content as long as the old man trusted them and was willing to let them pay back the money slowly.

Otherwise, let them raise 110,000 or 120,000 yuan in a short period of time...

They're probably really going down the wrong path.

On the other end, Zhao Hongan hung up the phone, opened his mobile banking app, and began transferring money.

"Good thing we lost out."

"Five hundred thousand a day..."

"The energetic young lady is still the best."

Zhao Hong'an was overjoyed.

At this rate of loss, if he could get back ten times his money, wouldn't he be making a fortune?

Zhao Hongan selected Zhang Yiwen's bank account, and after a moment's thought, chose one million when entering the transfer amount.

Opening a decent billiards hall in Jiangcheng wouldn't be too much of an investment, even with an investment of five million.

However, Zhao Hong'an's purpose in giving gifts was twofold: to make money and to improve his public image.

Wenwen's current affection level towards him is 70 points.

This time, he chose to believe in Zhang Yiwen without hesitation and supported her even more strongly. Zhang Yiwen will definitely be moved, and her favorability will rise.

However, Zhao Hong'an was afraid that if he transferred too much money at once, he would raise Zhang Yiwen's threshold.

One million, just right.

After resolving the current issue, if further investment is insufficient, continue sending gifts to further increase favorability.

Ding.

Zhang Yiwen was chatting with Hanhan and Duoduo when her phone suddenly beeped with a text message.

It's a money transfer message.

She glanced at it, and the long string of zeros made her dizzy.

Zhang Yiwen's hands were trembling as she clicked the button.

Her eyes widened suddenly.

"What's wrong, Wenwen?"

"hiss."

Hanhan and Duoduo leaned over, glanced at it, and simultaneously gasped.

All six pairs of eyes lit up.

"So many?"

"The payer was Grandpa Zhao..."

"My God! Let me count the zeros: one, two, three... six zeros, a seven-digit number, a million!"

"Why didn't Grandpa Zhao ask us for money? Instead, he gave us money!"

"..."

Hanhan and Duoduo chattered away.

Zhang Yiwen's heart raced, and she put the same seriousness she had when watching pandas in Chengdu into her count of the zeros.

After counting several times to confirm, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She now understood what Grandpa Zhao meant when he said, "It's just a loss of a few hundred thousand, no big deal." and "Don't worry, with me here, the sky won't fall."

Only then did she realize the weight of those words.

"Quiet down."

Zhang Yiwen calmed Hanhan and Duoduo down, helped them gather their thoughts, and then dialed Zhao Hongan's number again.

"Sir, why did you transfer money to me again? A million! That's so much!"

Zhang Yiwen's emotions were complex.

One million... She had never seen so much money in her entire life.

"Ha ha."

On the other end of the phone, Grandpa Zhao's laughter was kind and gentle.

Zhang Yiwen felt inexplicably moved to tears after hearing this.

"I've been thinking about it. The billiard hall still needs to be open. You can't give up halfway through a startup. The million I transferred to you isn't for the new billiard hall. It's to help you completely resolve the issue with Zhang Wei's billiard hall."

"Zhang Wei's secondhand billiard hall has too many problems. I suggest you don't rent it out after you've dealt with them. I've seen the photos of the billiard hall you sent me. Although the rent is cheap, the environment is terrible."

"Find a better place, like a shopping mall, and open a nice billiards hall. That way, the three of you girls can be safer."

"You don't need to worry about the money. I'll transfer the money to you as needed for any further investment."

Grandpa Zhao's voice was kind, peaceful, and full of strength.

"uncle……"

Zhang Yiwen couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears.

On this day, she experienced great highs and lows. All the grievances and pressure she had suffered found a place to rest, and she could no longer hold back, releasing them all.

She really wanted to throw herself into the old man's arms and have a good cry.
