Chapter 143: Vampire Cousin
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Murong Qiao naturally did not intend to waste her precious time in university. She intended to start a company, and after discussing it with her Big Brother, Murong Chen agreed to this idea.
The taxi stopped at Riverside Block A. Murong Qiao got out of the car and found the company according to the address her Big Brother had given her.
“Hello, Young Miss Murong. I’m Jiang Chi, the assistant sent by the President to assist you.” When she arrived at the address, a man came up and greeted Murong Qiao.
The man who called himself an assistant stood there in a suit, making people feel like he was an elite in the workplace.
Murong Qiao nodded as she greeted back.
Jiang Chi then stood at the side respectfully and handed the report to Murong Qiao. At the same time, he was secretly observing the President’s sister.
Needless to say, Murong Qiao looked even more beautiful in person than in the photo. He was very surprised that Murong Qiao did not show any signs of impatience despite her young age.
Seeing Murong Qiao take the report and look at the data expressionlessly, Jiang Chi thought for a moment that President Murong was here.
“You used to be a manager too?” Murong Qiao raised her eyebrows in surprise.
Not only was the report in her hand, but Jiang Chi’s information was also included.
At first, when Big Brother said that he wanted to send someone to help her, Murong Qiao thought that it’d be an assistant who would help run the company. Unexpectedly, Jiang Chi was an all-rounder. His resume showed that he had even worked as a manager before and had made many celebrities famous.
“Yes, I was lucky enough to catch the President’s eye,” Jiang Chi nodded with a smile.
After reading the report, Murong Qiao went to the company to meet the company employees under Jiang Chi’s guidance.
The entire company wasn’t considered big. Including Jiang Chi, there were not more than thirty people in total, but all of them were elites in the industry. It could be said that although they were small, they had everything.
“From now on, Young Miss Murong will be your boss.” Jiang Chi stood out and introduced Murong Qiao to everyone.
When Murong Qiao said that she wanted to open a company, Murong Chen had already made preparations for his Little Sister by having Jiang Chi manage it. Now that the real owner of the company was back, the employees finally could see the rumored boss. Apart from respect, they couldn’t help but be surprised by Murong Qiao’s young age.
Due to the fact that they were not familiar with each other, Murong Qiao only said a few words before officiating the company’s establishment.
Then, Murong Qiao and Jiang Chi went to the president’s office.
After the company was established, it naturally had to develop quickly. Murong Qiao already had a general direction in this aspect, but she still had to detail the specific tasks.
“In the next two days, find a few artists to sign contracts with the company to nurture.” Murong Qiao pointed out her current goal. “Money wise, it’s negotiable. The key is that the conditions and potential of the artists have to be good.”
Hearing that the money was negotiable, Jiang Chi immediately nodded with a smile.
Money was always the most convincing thing. As long as there was enough money, the artistes would naturally be in place.
After Murong Qiao told everyone about the company’s goals, she left the company. Before she left, she even asked Jiang Chi for an artiste contract.
She planned to look for An Nuo.
An Nuo, who had recovered from her injuries, entered Hui University as school started. However, unlike Murong Qiao, who was in the Department of Economics and Management, she had applied for the Film and Performance Department.
For the past two days, Murong Qiao had been busy with school and had no time to gather with An Nuo. This would be the first time she had gone to look for An Nuo in a long while.
Fortunately, the two of them had always been in contact on their phones, so Murong Qiao easily found the dormitory of the Film and Performance Department and arrived at An Nuo’s dormitory.
However, as soon as she entered, Murong Qiao acutely sensed that the atmosphere was indescribably strange.
An Nuo sat alone in front of the table, while the others sat casually at the side. They did not say anything, but it was obvious that something was wrong.
Speaking of acute senses, it was all thanks to Huo Yichen’s “training” on her that Murong Qiao became more sensitive to the atmosphere.
An Nuo was not the only one in the dormitory. There were also other roommates.
Murong Qiao did not say anything after knocking and entering. She only sat beside An Nuo and tried to figure out what was going on with her eyes.
Did she come at the wrong time?
An Nuo sensed Murong Qiao’s question and waved her hand. She didn’t care about anything and directly explained the situation.
“My cousin, An Jia, is in the same dormitory as me. She’s been pestering me for money these past two days.” An Nuo explained the reason.
After saying that, she knew that the other party would not understand, so she continued. When she spoke, she did not deliberately lower her voice. Everyone in the dormitory could hear her.
When An Nuo arrived at the school and checked into the dormitory, she realized that her cousin, An Jia, was also in this dormitory. It was a little surprising to her.
An Nuo family’s conditions were very good, but her cousin was the complete opposite. Her original living conditions were not good, and her family had to rely on An Nuo’s father’s help to survive. Even getting into Hui University this time was thanks to An Nuo’s family help in paying for her tuition fees.
However, it was not as simple as that. Receiving free money seemed to be addictive as her cousin’s family turned into vampires and kept asking for more money, and even asking An Nuo’s father to pay for their living expenses.
On account that they were relatives, An Nuo’s father still helped.
However, it was different this time. Her cousin was asking for two million yuan from An Nuo’s family. They said that they would use it to do some business and return it to their family when they made a profit.
It was fine if it was just a small sum of money, but two million was not a small sum. Hence, An Nuo and An Nuo’s mother felt that something was wrong and advised An Nuo’s father not to lend this money.
The family that usually had to rely on their help could be said to be doing quite well. They usually did not have to worry about food and drinks and other living expenses. No matter how one looked at it, it did not seem right for them to suddenly ask to borrow two million yuan.
“Did your father lend it to them?” Murong Qiao couldn’t help but ask after hearing the cause of the matter.
An Nuo shook her head. Her attitude was obviously disapproving, but there was also a hint of melancholy.
“I’m definitely not willing to let Dad lend it out.” An Nuo’s tone was firm.
With her cousin’s family’s current situation where they had to rely on their family’s help for their daily lives, it seemed impossible for them to be able to repay the two million yuan.
Moreover, the business that her cousin and the others were talking about had no prospects at all. The trend of eating crabs with soup had long passed. No matter how one looked at it, the two million yuan was going to go to waste.
Since that was the case, they should not lend it out.
“I plan to convince my father not to let him lend out the money.” An Nuo sighed. This was also where she was a little worried.
Although she and her mother were firmly against it, An Nuo’s father was very hesitant. After all, the other party was his biological brother, and the two of them had the same blood flowing in their bodies. Her father just could not reject his brother’s request.
On one side was his biological brother, and on the other side was his wife and daughter. Hence, An Nuo’s father was in a dilemma and could not make a decision.
This happened before school started, but An Nuo did not expect to live in the same dormitory as her cousin so coincidentally.
Enemies were bound to meet on a narrow road. An Nuo and her cousin lived in the same dormitory, so there was naturally no lack of friction. Her cousin, who had not succeeded in getting the money, did not like An Nuo, and An Nuo disliked her cousin even more.
Hence, for the past two days, An Nuo and her cousin had inevitably caused a huge commotion because of this matter. The two million yuan had also caused the relationship between the two families to deteriorate rapidly.
For a moment, An Nuo and her cousin hated each other which led the dormitory being in a tizzy for the past two days..
