Chapter 16 The Economic Crisis
6 p.m
Su Xin pushed the door and walked into the house, Wu Huiping heard the movement, put down the half-washed dishes in her hands, wiped her hands and ran out.
"Huh, are you alone?" she was visibly disappointed.
"Who else else?" replied Su Xin sullenly.
"Didn't Zhenhao come back with you?" Wu Huiping asked as she should.
"He sent me downstairs and left. Su Xin said that she was about to walk away, but she was dragged by Wu Huiping.
"Where are you playing?" asked Wu Huiping with a smile, expecting her to share the date with her. Su Xin complained in her heart, God, she has to start cooperating with Sun Zhenhao to lie now?
She complained in her heart that President Rensun's time was more expensive than diamonds, and after having lunch with her, she threw a sentence, "I want to go back to the company, you can go wherever you like, I will pick you up at half past five." Su Xin immediately jumped up.
"I'm dressed as this virtue, where do you want me to go?"
Su Xin and the skirt are mortal enemies, and she has never liked to wear this kind of twisted and pinched cute little dress, this dress was bought for her by Wu Huiping without authorization, and she has never worn it before. Wu Huiping said that her usual clothes were naΓ―ve, and they did not match the elegant and stable Sun Zhenhao, so she was forced to wear a skirt and forced her to change it.
If she wanders around the street and meets acquaintances, and they see her dressed like this, it would be strange if they didn't make fun of her!
Thinking about it makes me crazy, Su Xin complained:
"You kidnapped me!
Sun Zhenhao was forced to helplessly, and finally brought her back to his company, and he left her and went directly to the office to work overtime. Su Xin didn't care, she ran back to the security department to go online, and it took half a day.
Wu Huiping looked forward to the starry eyes, and Su Xin said half-helplessly and half-impatiently:
"First go to dinner, then watch a movie, then have tea, then go shopping, and then come back. β
She watched the movie in front of the computer by herself, drank tea by herself to make tea bags in the pantry, and ran around the company corridor twice when she was tired of shopping, will she tell her these truths? But in the end, this is not a lie.
"What movie did you watch?" Wu Huiping still has to get to the bottom of it.
"Pleasant goat and gray wolf. Su Xin said.
"Isn't that cartoon?"
"yes. β
"Zhenhao also likes to watch it?"
"Who knows him. Su Xin turned her head to look at the living room, but didn't see her father's figure, and asked instead, "Where is my father?"
"Your dad is in the study...... Eh, you wait......" Wu Huiping didn't finish speaking, Su Xin ran away, no matter how she screamed, she couldn't respond, she could only scold, "This frizzy girl!", and then went back to the kitchen again.
Su Xin came to Su Bairui's study, and the other party was looking at some stock data in front of the computer, and when he saw her coming, he smiled kindly at her.
"Zhuzhu, are you back?"
"Hmm......" Su Xin saw that he had closed the page of the stock, so he closed the door of the study and moved to his side step by step.
"How did you go today?" Su Bairui's question was no different from Wu Huiping's.
"It's okay......" Su Xin pulled a chair aside and sat down.
Seeing her look different, Su Bairui asked, "What's wrong?"
Su Xin pondered how to speak, whether it was better to push sideways or go straight in? The more she hesitated, the more confused Su Bairui became.
"Zhuzhu, what's going on?"
Su Xin took a deep breath and decided to say it bluntly.
"Dad, today's President Sun is that Sun Zhenhao, he asked me to ask you something. β
"Oh, what's the matter?"
"He asked me to ask you......" Su Xin paid close attention to his father's expression and said slowly: "What are you going to do with that bad debt?"
After hearing this, Su Bairui's expression changed, and to put it bluntly, it was a bolt from the blue. He froze, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time. Judging by his reaction, I'm afraid that something tricky has really happened. Su Xin's heart was like a drum, waiting with bated breath.
After a long silence, Su Bairui finally sighed and smiled bitterly.
"So he knows ......"
The worry in Su Xin's heart was spreading, she looked at Su Bairui with anxiety, and the other party was silent for a moment before she spoke again:
"Why did he tell you about it?"
"He also said......" Su Xin finished the unfinished words: "If you need his help, please just ask." β
As soon as these words came out, Su Bairui fell into a long silence again. There was silence in the study, Su Xin's heart went up and down, and when he answered, his hands and feet were cold, and he couldn't help urging:
"Dad, just tell me...... Can't help me......
Su Bairui shook his head, and smiled helplessly again: "Zhuzhu, this matter is not so simple......
"Is it in debt?" Su Xin's understanding of "bad debts" is only this.
Su Bairui sighed: "Sort of...... I invested in real estate with two friends, but one of them ran away, and the funds could not be operated, and it became an unfinished building...... I thought that I would be able to return to my capital after the opening, but now stocks and funds are trapped...... It was also said that new projects would be developed...... I can't get the money out, it's a mess......"
Su Xin didn't understand it, and she only knew a little about the family's financial situation from her mother. Although Su Bairui is currently the major shareholder of the three major e-commerce companies in China, their family is not a rich and wealthy family, but slightly better than the well-off.
Su Bairui was born in a rural family, and after graduating from college, he followed his classmate and friend Sun Weizhao to start a business together, the two started a network company, and they failed to make a name for themselves at the beginning, just enough to survive, but fortunately, Sun Weizhao is the son of a chaebol, and there are always funds. In the past decade, e-commerce has developed rapidly, and they have stood out among many Internet companies, and their business has finally improved, but Su Bairui himself has an average business mind, and he was mainly responsible for software development when he followed Sun Weizhao. Su Bairui has spare money in his hands, so he began to invest like his friends, he lacks market acumen, and generally does whatever people say is good, and after a few years, there are profits and losses. Seeing that everyone else is making a lot of money, Su Bairui always feels unwilling, and he also wants to find an investment way to get rich, so he "would rather be indiscriminate than lacking", and his investment strategy is to blindly follow the trend, rarely considering reality. Therefore, their family does not have much money to spare, and a little savings will be used by him to make such and such investments.
Su Xin also heard her mother talk about these things, saying that outsiders said that she was Mrs. Kuo, who would have expected that the living expenses she got a month were only one or two hundred thousand. Although Su Xin has no worries about food and clothing, she is not comparable to those local tyrants who spend money like water, but fortunately, she is not a child who loves to compare and enjoy.
With her father's words now, Su Xin understands that her family is in an economic crisis.
