So Gu Xiaobei took advantage of Huo Ling's presence and said casually: "Mr. Huo, then you talk first, and I won't bother you."

Who knew that Huo Chunlan waved her hand and said, "It's okay, Mr. Lin, she came here to ask for money, and she left after asking for money."

Huo Ling seemed to feel embarrassed to talk about this matter in front of Gu Xiaobei, an outsider, so she reached out and pulled her mother's sleeve.

"I told you before you opened the bookstore, tell you not to open it, you have to open it, and you don't make money when you open it, alas."

However, Huo Chunlan didn't care about Huo Ling's hint to her at all, and said bluntly.

Huo Ling retorted: "It's not that you don't know, I didn't open a bookstore to make money at all, I just provided a place for people who like to read."

"You're wrong, not only did you not make money, but you lost money every month, every year, alas, after opening a bookstore for a few years, you have smashed hundreds of thousands of dollars into it."

Huo Ling twisted her head to the side and said, "Okay, okay, don't be verbose, give it to me quickly."

For her daughter, Huo Chunlan is also very helpless.

"Tell me, how much more will you want this time?"

"Eight thousand."

"Okay! I'll go to your card! ”

"Hey, hey, I know my mom loves me the most!"

After finishing speaking, Huo Ling didn't forget to give Huo Chunlan a big hug.

At this time, Gu Xiaobei said to Huo Ling: "Huo Ling, I thank you for all my colleagues who like to read, because every time I read a book at your place, it will make people feel extremely relaxed."

"But I still want to remind you, the price of your book rental is indeed too low, I used to think that I took advantage of it, now it seems that you should raise the price a little, I believe everyone can accept it."

Huo Ling seemed to be thinking about something, and then she smiled at Gu Xiaobei and said, "Thank you for your suggestion, I'll think about it, you guys talk first, I'll go."

After finishing speaking, Huo Ling turned around like a butterfly and was about to leave.

At this moment, the phone on Huo Chunlan's desk rang.

"Hey, Director Zhu will be here soon? Okay, I got it. ”

Gu Xiaobei immediately guessed that Zhu Yang was coming.

Director Zhu in Huo Chunlan's mouth is likely to be Zhu Yang.

Why did they all run over? It seems that he is also in a hurry, otherwise it is impossible to rush over during work.

At this time, Huo Chunlan hung up the phone, and she said to Gu Xiaobei: "Mr. Lin, I'm really embarrassed, if I can't accompany you, I need to deal with some important things over there."

Gu Xiaobei was about to say goodbye, but he didn't want to meet Zhu Yang, so he said, "Mr. Huo, you are busy first, don't worry about me."

Huo Chunlan suddenly asked, "Did Mr. Lin come to drive?"

Although Gu Xiaobei didn't know why she asked this, he still replied: "It's open, what's wrong, Mr. Huo?"

"That's the case, Xiaoling is going back to the city, I can't get out of here for the time being, can you help me drive her?"

"Leave it to me."

"Okay, then thank you Mr. Lin, Xiaoling, then let Mr. Lin send you to the bookstore."

"Okay, Mr. Huo. Go ahead and get busy. ”

Then Huo Chunlan went to the office first, and Gu Xiaobei and Huo Ling also came out.

He called Lin Sichen.

"Brother Lin, how is it over there?"

"I'm still checking the equipment, it's going to take more than an hour, what's wrong?"

"That's right, I've got to go back to the city first."

"You go back first, there is a special bus to the city, I can take the car back after I finish processing."

"Okay, Brother Lin, then I'll go first."

When he went downstairs, Gu Xiaobei heard a sound of footsteps upstairs.

He looked up from the handrail and saw an obese figure, it was Zhu Yang!

This Zhu Yang is really bold, he must have come here to find Huo Chunlan to do that.

Two days ago, the matter between him and Liu Fang was just learned by everyone, and now he dares to come here.

From this point of view, this Zhu Yang is definitely not simple, I am afraid that it is not so simple to wait for the above to remove him.

I'll have to find his bigger bad deeds.

On the way back to the city, Gu Xiaobei and Huo Ling chatted very well.

After all, the two are of the same age and have the same interests and hobbies.

In addition, I have been exposed to it before, so now the topic can be carried out naturally.

Whether it is historical allusions, wild history miscellaneous, or foreign masterpieces, the two of them can talk about you and me.

Only then did Gu Xiaobei realize that his interests and hobbies were so similar to Huo Ling's.

Looking at the gushing Huo Ling, Gu Xiaobei couldn't help but feel that such like-minded people were the ones who could stay with him for a lifetime.

If I knew Huo Ling before I got married, maybe I would choose to be with her!

After chatting, the topic between the two is no longer limited to literature, but rises to life.

Gu Xiaobei quietly inquired about her family and learned a big news from Huo Ling's mouth.

It turns out that Huo Chunlan is far less beautiful than she seems!

In fact, in the early days, the Huo family did have a lot of money, but Huo Chunlan spent most of the money on investing in Happy Valley Scenic Spots and Resort Villas.

It can be that Happy Valley has not developed at all, and due to publicity reasons, it has not been able to attract tourists, and the money invested by Huo Chunlan can be regarded as a waste.

Although her resort is the only one in Happy Valley, business is still sluggish.

According to Huo Ling, the resort basically does not bring in income, because the money earned and spent each year can be just offset.

But Huo Chunlan can't throw it away, and she can't sell it, so she can only work hard.

And this is nothing, what really makes matters worse is that Huo Chunlan got acquainted with Zhao Xun five years ago, and Zhao Xun was at the peak of his career at that time, making a lot of money in real estate.

Then Huo Chunlan met Zhao Xun under the recommendation of a friend, and under the guidance of Zhao Xun, he also went to invest and wanted to speculate in real estate.

But who would have thought that he didn't earn a penny, but in the end he owed a lot of debts, and the creditor was Zhao Xun!

Huo Ling also mentioned her father, saying that he is having a bad time now and has an incurable disease.

And I asked my mother for money, part of it was used in the bookstore, but the big head actually called my father's card privately.

Gu Xiaobei sighed lightly, sure enough, the old saying is true, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read!

From Huo Ling's words, Gu Xiaobei heard that she hoped that the family could be reunited, so that her father could come back in the last time.

But Huo Chunlan didn't let go, and it seemed that she was not willing to forgive her father.

Gu Xiaobei also roughly understood that the relationship between Huo Chunlan and Zhao Xun should not be the ambiguous relationship he imagined, maybe it was just a simple debt relationship.

So Zhao Xun introduced Huo Chunlan to Zhu Yang, could it not be Huo Chunlan's idea at all, but Zhao Xun blackmailed her through the money she owed?
