Before I even got close, I heard the chatter over there in full swing.
The man spoke with a bright tongue, "Aunt Shu, please hurry up and think about it. There is only the last place left for this project."
"Once the quota is full, no matter how much money you have, there is no way to add more!"
Mother Shu was about to open her mouth to agree, when Zhao Dong suddenly knocked on the table, "Director Liang, right?"
The man stood up hurriedly and lowered his posture, "Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Zhao, do you want me to do anything?"
As he spoke, he looked up and down.
Just now I felt that Zhao Dong's aura was extraordinary, and he didn't treat people and things like an ordinary person.
Coupled with the keys to the Mercedes-Benz at hand, he was already very excited.
The insinuating remarks just now were all just to attract this person's attention.
Seeing the other party taking the initiative to talk now, of course he was secretly happy!
Zhao Dong pointed, "I have something that I want to talk to you about alone. Can we talk outside?"
The man nodded hurriedly, "Okay, okay..."
Wang Meng didn't ask any more questions and stood up as well.
After a few people left, Shu Qing also came back.
Shu's mother was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Xiao Qing, what's going on? Why did Zhao Dong call you out just now?"
Shu Qing didn't explain, "It's nothing!"
Shu's mother was confused, "Nothing? Then why did he call Director Liang away again?"
As she said this, she patted her thigh anxiously and said, "Oh, it's broken!"
Shu Qing was also startled, "Mom, what's wrong?"
Shu's mother said hastily: "Just now, Director Liang said that there is only the last investment quota left for this project. Zhao Dong called him out because he must have wanted to cut him off and take away my quota!"
Saying that, she was about to chase him out!
Shu Qing felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet to her forehead.
She yelled, "That's enough!"
"Have you had enough trouble?"
"Do you know how busy Zhao Dong is?"
"For the sake of our family's troubles, he didn't even bother to take care of his work. He wasted time, relied on connections, and even brought us here himself."
"What do you want?"
"Are you trying to save my face, Shu Qing?"
"Let me tell you, your daughter's face is not that valuable!"
"My fiancée is a corporate executive. In terms of looks, figure, and temperament, is she not better than me in any way?"
"Do I need to sell my face?"
"It's a good thing you're just not grateful, but you're still making malicious speculations here!"
"Let me tell you, no matter how we resolve this matter, there will never be a next time!"
Mother Shu knew she was in the wrong, but she whispered unwillingly, "I'm thinking about you too. Besides, people's hearts are separated from each other, who knows..."
Shu Qing said in disgust: "No matter what happens to my family in the future, I will never go to Zhao Dong for help again!"
"It's not that I'm afraid of losing face, but it's just that when you talk like this, it's so chilling and makes me, a daughter, feel ashamed!"
Mother Shu was afraid of falling out with her daughter, so she kept her mouth shut.
Not long after waiting, Zhao Dong came back and said, "Okay, Shu Qing, you can talk to Director Liang when he comes back later."
"I still have something to do over there, so I'll leave first!"
Shu's mother didn't know why, "Xiaoqing, what's going on? Why did Zhao Dong leave so suddenly?"
Shu Qing didn't say anything. She just sat there for a moment when Manager Liang came back and said, "Ms. Shu, it's like this. Your situation is quite special!"
"And Mr. Zhao also told me just now that your family is in great difficulty."
"So I applied to the company leaders again, and I can give you a special approval!"
Shu's mother answered, "What special approval?"
The man explained, "90% of the principal of 300,000 yuan can be returned. If you have no objections, you can sign now."
"I can return this account to you within today."
"Of course, if you want to continue investing, you can."
"It depends on your considerations."
Shu's mother looked ugly, "Does that mean you still have to pay money?"
Shu Qing decided, "Don't think about it, 90% is fine. I'd like to ask Director Liang to help us go through the procedures!"
Shu's mother wanted to fight for it again, but was stopped by Shu Qing.
After Manager Liang left, Shu's mother complained: "You kid, what's going on? That's 30,000 yuan, why don't you fight for it?"
Shu Qing sighed and said, "Mom, as a human being, you must learn to be content with what you have."
"If it weren't for Zhao Dong, we could only get back 50%."
"Now that I can get more than half of it back, I'm satisfied."
"If you make excessive demands again, it will be difficult for Zhao Dong!"
Mother Shu was a little unhappy, "Zhao Dong, Zhao Dong, Zhao Dong, you know Zhao Dong!"
"No matter how good Zhao Dong is, he is still someone else's husband!"
"It's a good idea to turn your elbows outward!"
"Thirty thousand yuan is not money. You just push it out without even looking at it?"
"Also, it was you who had been lobbying at home before, saying that this financial management company was unreliable, which made me panic."
"Otherwise, do we need to pay 30,000 yuan?"
As she said that, she hesitated again, "Xiaoqing, I still feel something is wrong."
Shu Qing's face turned cold, "If you dare to say that Zhao Dong took kickbacks in this matter, I will leave now and ignore this matter!"
Shu's mother smiled coquettishly, "How could Mom think that way?"
"Mom just feels that this company may not be a scam."
"Think about it, if they were really liars, how could they let go so easily? With just a few words from Zhao Dong, they returned the money to us?"
Shu Qing asked in a cold voice, "For this matter, I specifically asked Zhao Dong for help."
"In the end, people got the job done, but you think it was easy and want to regret it?"
Shu's mother hesitated, "I didn't say that either. I heard from your brother...many people have made real money!"
Shu Qing was completely disappointed, she could understand her mother's psychology.
Previously, the other party refused to refund the money, so she insisted that the other party was a liar.
Now that the other party agreed to let go, she suddenly felt that the matter could be solved easily and there was something fishy about it.
Shu Qing said disappointedly: "Mom, do you understand or not?"
"They are willing to refund the money quickly, not because they are upright and their methods are legal, but because of Zhao Dong!"
"I can tell you clearly, if Zhao Dong hadn't followed here today, do you think they would have let go easily? Do you think we can get the money back just by relying on us?"
The more she talked, the more tired she became, "Okay, I don't want to persuade you anymore."
"It's all your money anyway, it's up to you how to use it."
"I'll just tell you, starting from today, I won't pay any more of my salary to my family!"
"If you insist on investing, I won't stop you."
"From now on, let's sever the relationship between mother and daughter. Don't come to me again for anything at home!"
With that said, Shu Qing stood up quickly and left without looking back.
What should have been a happy and sunny life was dragged into the bottom of the valley because of my mother's narrow-mindedness.
Shu Qing didn't blame anyone, only her own lack of determination.
After what happened today, she has completely made up her mind and will no longer let her mother control her own destiny!
