Chapter 24 Where does Jiang Hao’s money come from?
After a long separation, they had endless things to talk about. When it was almost six o'clock, Zhang Yuan drove Xiaozhi away in his car, leaving Qiao Xinwei and Arnold alone.
Watching Zhang Yuan's car slowly drive out of the alley, Arnold said with emotion: "Oh, you are all married and become mothers. There will not be many opportunities to get together in the future."
"What about you, do you have a partner?"
Arnold shook his head and laughed at himself, "I am what people call a 'leftover woman'. What's wrong? Do you want to rush the marriage too?"
Qiao Xinwei smiled and shook her head, "No, no, no, don't worry, I won't rush you. As long as you live comfortably, as long as everything you have now is the life you want, you can live it, and I will definitely support you."
"real?"
"Of course," Qiao Xinwei nodded solemnly, "rather than settle for an unsatisfactory marriage, it is better to live comfortably alone. If the lives of two people are full of endless quarrels and suspicions, then why settle for it?
We have careers, can make money, manage things, are independent and self-reliant, and can live well on our own. Those who say you can’t get married just because you are older or single, you don’t have to explain at all, because you
We are completely in two different worlds. They don't understand you, and you don't understand them."
After talking for a while, Arnold found it difficult not to interrupt her, "Hey, I've learned a lot after being out there for these years."
"Yes, I have indeed learned a lot, especially when I was most helpless but still no one was around. I could only rely on myself." When she said this, the first thing that came to her mind was that she was born in the world.
She would never forget the loneliness, helplessness and fear she felt at that moment.
Seeing her red eyes, Arnold stretched out his hand and patted her shoulder, comforting her: "Isn't it good now? It's enough for Jiang Hao to be nice to you."
"Haha, yes, I often tell myself that, it is enough for Jiang Hao to be good to me and his children. The worst was those three years. Nothing could be worse than that time, and life will only get worse and worse.
good."
"Silly girl... By the way, there is something I have to tell you, even though Jiang Hao asked me not to tell you."
"What?"
Arnold looked around the cafe and said: "I can open this cafe all because of Jiang Hao." Arnold picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee. The fine Blue Mountain, rich fragrance, and sweet taste in the mouth.
, the first taste is bitter, the aftertaste is sour, she said quietly, "He borrowed the first fund, and rented the house with his friend. If it weren't for him, I would be rich in such a good location. With my own strength,
They wouldn't rent it to me. This cafe was opened the year before last. In the first year, Jiang Hao joined as a shareholder because he didn't want me to pay back the money. Jiang Hao didn't come often and it was rare to call him.
He is busy, so I can only say a few words. Although he does not come by himself, he will introduce his friends, and his friends will bring more friends. Slowly, this store has gained a lot of popularity in the upper class.
popularity.”
"The next year, Jiang Hao suggested that I rent the second floor, so the coffee shop was closed for three months and renovated. It is what it is now. Jiang Hao is actually very business-minded. After the renovation, the coffee shop was opened in less than a year.
I’ve made money, the location is good, the positioning is high, and the environment is good, so many old customers are willing to come here.”
"In May of this year, he unconditionally transferred his shares to me. He said that the cafe was so successful that he was no longer needed." At this point, Arnold smiled helplessly, "Qiao Xinwei, do you know that you
What did my husband say to me? He said, I have no interest in doing business, I just want to help the people Xinwei cares about. Listen, your husband is so awesome. It turns out that when you have money, you are willful."
Qiao Xinwei listened quietly. Based on Arnold's description, she could imagine what Jiang Hao said at that time. Counting the time, he was still on a mission at that time and could deal with Xiao Tianai while helping.
Arnold, it’s really hard for him.
"Xinwei, I can see that Jiang Hao truly loves you. What he has done for you is unimaginable to many people."
Qiao Xinwei lowered her head and smiled, "I know."
It's already dark outside, but there are more and more customers in the cafe, and even the quiet alleys are becoming lively. There is an endless stream of people, which shows that the business is booming.
Arnold continued: "Now this store belongs to me alone, and the daily turnover is quite considerable, so I am qualified to be a proud leftover girl. Xinwei, you are right, marriage will never come."
.Also, I will repay Jiang Hao a sum of money every month. Although he said not to, I will definitely repay him the money he invested before. In other words, you are now my creditor."
"I don't dare take it." Although she didn't want to ask more, she couldn't help but be curious, "Arnold, can you tell me how much money Jiang Hao lent you?"
Arnold made a gesture with his finger.
"Three million?"
"That's wrong. In this one-in-a-million location, three million isn't even enough to fill your teeth. Let's add another zero."
"..." Qiao Xinwei's eyes widened in shock, "Thirty...thirty million?"
"What, are you afraid that I won't repay you? I won't be able to pay it back in a short time, but I will definitely pay it off."
"No, no, no, Arnold, you misunderstood me. I'm just curious about where Jiang Hao got so much money."
"You don't know how much your husband is worth?"
Qiao Xinwei shook her head, "He used to say that he was a soldier, and he received the salary of a soldier. Jiang Hao is an upright man, and he doesn't have any gray income. Jiang Hao's father definitely doesn't have any either. He can't give back 30 million yuan.
I really didn't expect to lend you the place."
Speaking of this, Arnold also felt very strange, "Yeah, why didn't I expect that no matter how high his salary was, he would never be able to save so much money. Thirty million is not a small amount. Many people make a lot of money in their entire lives.
It’s not that much money. But he didn’t take it seriously at all. Xinwei, I think you have to ask him carefully. Although I believe he has no problem, it’s more practical to know the basics.”
After sitting there for a while, there was already a long queue in the alley outside the cafe, but it was still quiet and pleasant inside.
Qiao Xinwei looked at the time. It was already past nine o'clock. She had to go back. She was afraid that Zai Xi would find her. "Arnold, it's getting late. I have to go back. Let's make an appointment next time."
"Okay, I'll ask the driver to take you back."
"Need not."
"Yes, you listen to me, you are my creditor."
At Arnold's insistence, Qiao Xinwei had no choice but to agree.
When he got home, Zai Xi had already fallen asleep. Jiang Hao was sitting in the living room. He could hear the movement in the room on the second floor and see her for the first time when she returned home.
"Sorry, I'm late."
"Hmm, you don't even have a phone message, you're really sorry."
Qiao Xinwei had no choice but to confess honestly, "I really forgot. Arnold and Xiaozhi came to me suddenly. I was so happy. When I remembered it later, Arnold said you know. I'm sorry, I have too many problems with them."
I have something to say.”
Jiang Hao leaned forward and hugged her shoulders, "It's okay. I know you guys have something to say, so I didn't call you. I just stayed at home and took care of the children."
"Haha, how much food did Xi Bao eat?"
"I made him an omelette rice, spread some ketchup on it, and he ate it all. Oh, there was also a chicken drumstick."
"It's really good to eat. What time does he go to bed?" Please forgive me for being a nagging mother. She is concerned about such boring questions.
However, Jiang Hao didn't feel annoyed and answered patiently: "At half past eight, I got into bed after taking a shower. He said he would wait for you to come back. I told him to tell a story while he waited. He fell asleep after I finished telling the story.
It’s on.”
"He is indeed my good son, but why do I feel a sense of loss? It turns out that without me, he can still eat well and sleep well. Alas, my importance is not as important as before."
Jiang Hao couldn't help laughing, pinched her cheek and said, "I'm his father, you still care about me?"
Qiao Xinyi bent down to avoid him, "I'm going to soak my feet first. They're freezing to death. I have a lot to say to you today. You go to bed and wait for me."
Jiang Hao looked at her with an evil look in his eyes, "Okay, I'll wait for you on the bed."
"...Don't get carried away, I just want to share with you what happened in the company today."
Jiang Hao laughed, "Oh, it's the same as what I thought. What do you think I was thinking?"
"..." Qiao Xinwei was speechless again and scolded, "Shh, please keep your voice down, don't wake up the child." After saying that, she tiptoed to the master bedroom on the second floor.
Jiang Hao turned off the lights downstairs and followed him upstairs gently. She seemed to be in a good mood today. He liked the way she smiled. As long as he saw her smiling, everything he did would be worth it.
of.

The next day, Qiao Xinwei came to the company refreshed and refreshed. She arrived a little early and there were relatively few people. As soon as she entered the elevator, she suddenly found that Zhu Zirui was also in the elevator. He came up from the underground garage.
"Good morning, Minister Zhu." She quickly greeted the leader.
Zhu Zirui stood aside like a gentleman and responded with a smile, "Why are you so early?"
Qiao Xinwei said humorously: "Because I don't have to work overtime, I go home early, eat early, go to bed early, wake up early, and naturally go to work early."
Zhu Zirui was amused by her, and several other unfamiliar colleagues in the elevator were also amused by her. She felt embarrassed, "Haha, you're just kidding, Minister Zhu, thank you for yesterday's incident."
"You're welcome. I'm just discussing the matter. Just do your best."
"Must."
At this time, an older man next to him coughed twice. Zhu Zirui looked at it and introduced: "Qiao Xinwei, this is Vice President Ge from the prosperous age. Let's get to know each other."
"Hello, Vice President Ge, I am Qiao Xinwei from the Planning Department."
Ge Jun's face was cold, not at all as friendly as Zhu Zirui's. He just said "hmm" and that was it. Qiao Xinwei shook her outstretched hand twice awkwardly. It doesn't matter, he is the vice president.
Vice President Ge? Qiao Xinwei's smile instantly stiffened. Isn't that Hong Shi's biological uncle? Suddenly reacting, she opened her eyes wide and looked at Ge Jun. When she saw Ge Jun's even more dissatisfied expression, she quickly lowered her head.
head.
With a "ding" sound, luckily the elevator arrived, and Qiao Xinwei ran out of the elevator quickly. However, she had no idea that her few jokes just now had offended Zhu Zirui.
