Chapter 3 External Troubles Are Coming
"Bang bang. β
There was a knock on the door.
Zhao Zifan retracted his thoughts, went over and opened the door, and the person who came was Zhao Xin, the head of the Zhao family, with a anxious face.
"Uncle Xin, what's wrong?" Zhao Zifan asked.
According to the memory obtained by Zhao Zifan, Zhao Xin is an orphan picked up by Zhao Zifan's grandfather, who grew up in Zhao's family and is loyal.
Zhao Xin said: "Master, the three suppliers of our family are here. β
"What are they doing here?" Zhao Zifan frowned, and had a bad premonition in his heart.
Zhao Xin sighed lightly and said: "They are here to receive the payment, according to the contract, they should have supplied until the end of this month, but the supply was cut off half a month ago, and my Zhao family will fall to this point, which has a lot to do with them." β
The corners of Zhao Zifan's mouth twitched and asked, "Uncle Xin, how much do we owe these three suppliers?"
Zhao Xin replied: "The three suppliers add up to more than 1,200 taels of silver. β
"So much?!"
Zhao Zifan finally understood why Zhao Qingning and Zhao Qingshan were so anxious to push him to the position of the head of the family, the Zhao family's business was handled by Zhao Qingning and Zhao Qingshan, and now they owed so much money, these two wanted to dump this pot on Zhao Zifan's back.
"Uncle Xin, how much money is left in the account room?" Zhao Zifan asked.
Zhao Xindao: "Less than a hundred taels of silver." β
"Uh......"
Zhao Zifan was stunned, this gap is not ordinary.
"Toot!"
A voice suddenly sounded in Zhao Zifan's mind.
"Trigger the side quest, persuade the three suppliers who came to ask for payment to supply the Zhao family again, complete the task, reward the host with 50 contribution points, fail the task, and the host accepts the punishment. β
"That's a side quest. β
Zhao Zifan was overjoyed, and immediately reacted, shouting at the family head system: "I Γ, how can this task be completed." β
Someone else is here to ask for money, and if you don't have money to give it, you have to ask others to resupply it, is it simple?
"The host voluntarily gave up, and the task was judged to be a failure......"
"Don't, I'm just complaining, 50 contribution points are a lot, how could I give up. β
Zhao Zifan hurriedly interrupted the head of the family's system, judging from the urine nature of the system, the punishment for failing the mission must be very powerful, and with his small body, he will definitely not be able to stand it.
Seeing Zhao Zifan make the right choice, the system was silent.
"Butler, butler......"
At this moment, someone rushed over from outside the door, it was a subordinate of the Zhao family.
Zhao Xin glared at the visitor and scolded: "What are you yelling for?
The person who came took two deep breaths and hurriedly said, "Butler, the Ji family in Dongxin Town is here." β
"Ji family?"
Zhao Xin frowned, "What are they doing here?"
"Say come, come ......"
The person who came wanted to speak stopped talking, and looked at Zhao Zifan twice.
"Say it. β
Zhao Zifan smiled bitterly, he didn't have a lot of debts.
Came to the human: "It's an elder of the Ji family who came, and he said that he was here to divorce the ......."
"What?!"
Zhao Xin's face became very ugly, "Their Ji family actually fell into a hole at such a time, it's really damned." β
Hearing the word divorce, a memory popped up in Zhao Zifan's mind, this marriage was arranged for him by his deceased grandfather, and the object was a young lady of the Ji family.
"At the beginning, the Ji family was pressed by the other two families in Dongxin Town and couldn't raise their heads, and they married our Zhao family, with the help of our Zhao family, they stabilized their position, and the master just left, they couldn't wait to get out of the marriage, it's really shameless!"
Zhao Xin's face was full of anger, the Ji family was begging the Zhao family to marry, but now when they saw that the Zhao family was in trouble, they immediately came to withdraw from the marriage.
Zhao Zifan's expression became solemn, although he didn't have any feelings for this fiancΓ©e who had only met once or twice, but the other party's coming to withdraw from the marriage at this time was a huge blow to the Zhao family.
"Toot!"
At this moment, a voice that made Zhao Zifan excited sounded, which meant that the task was coming again.
"Trigger the side quest, properly solve the divorce matter, complete the task, reward the host with 50 contribution points, fail the task, and the host accepts the punishment. β
"What kind of proper law is this?"
Zhao Zifan was full of doubts, but he didn't get any response, after all, a system is a system, not a human being.
However, if these two tasks are completed, then there will be 100 contribution points, and you can buy that heaven-level exercise.
"These two tasks must be completed!"
Zhao Zifan was a little excited, as long as these two tasks were completed, it meant that the Zhao family would have a heaven-level exercise, which was a supreme treasure for the Zhao family.
"The head of the house, the head of the house. β
Zhao Xin saw Zhao Zifan staying in place, so he hurriedly called Zhao Zifan twice, but he felt very sorry for Zhao Zifan in his heart, he had just sat in the position of the head of the family and encountered such two difficult things to solve, as long as he didn't handle it well, not only would he have no prestige in the Zhao family, but the Zhao family would fall into a place of no return.
"Uncle Xin, is it possible to let those three suppliers re-supply the Zhao family?"
Zhao Zifan looked at Zhao Xin.
"Uh......"
Zhao Xin was stunned, then smiled wryly, and re-supplied, how is this possible!
Seeing Zhao Xin's appearance, Zhao Zifan knew the answer, it seems that this task is not so easy to complete.
"Uncle Xin, have these three suppliers of our Zhao family supplied to the other two families?"
Zhao Zifan quickly thought of a breakthrough.
Zhao Xin replied: "No, the suppliers of each family are basically fixed. β
"This is good news. β
Zhao Zifan grinned at Zhao Xin, then turned around and strode towards the living room, after a few steps, he stopped again, turned his head and said to Zhao Xin: "Uncle Xin, the Ji family will hand it over to you first." β
"Yes. β
Zhao Xin agreed, and walked away quickly, but he couldn't let the people of the Ji family meet with the three suppliers, otherwise the matter would be more difficult to deal with.
With Zhao Xin going to deal with the people of the Ji family first, Zhao Zifan walked towards the living room with confidence.
Zhao Zifan came to the door of the living room, his eyes swept away, and the information of the three people appeared in his mind, all of whom were the former suppliers of the Zhao family.
Because since Zhao Zifan's grandfather died, these people have interrupted the supply to the Zhao family, and the Zhao family will fall to the current end, which has a lot to do with these three suppliers.
"I've seen three uncles. β
Zhao Zifan hugged his fists and saluted everyone, these three are the same generation as Zhao Zifan's father, so it is not an exaggeration.
"I can't stand it!"
The three people all sat in their seats and did not stand up, obviously not taking Zhao Zifan in their eyes.
Zhao Zifan originally wanted to salute first and then soldier, but since these three did not cooperate, then he didn't need to be polite, walked over and sat down opposite the three people, and asked lightly: "I heard that the purpose of the three of them is to ask for payment?"
One person said with a cold face: "According to the contract, ......"
"Well said, according to the contract. β
Zhao Zifan stood up and shouted in a deep voice: "It's really interesting that you still have the face to talk about contracts!"
"Zhao Zifan, what do you mean?" asked in a cold voice.
"What do you mean?"
Zhao Zifan sneered twice, "According to the contract, you should supply my Zhao family until yesterday, but you cut off the supply half a month ago, you don't act in accordance with the contract, and you still want payment?
The three of them glanced at each other, thinking that Zhao Zifan was just a child who had never seen the world, and would be shocked by them in three or two clicks, but now it seems that they are underestimating each other.
