Chapter 743: There’s a Story?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation , Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
On the weekend night, Ji Zixuan brought Huang Weiwei, and Ji Yuanyuan brought Qin Mucheng to the house.
Ji Yuanyuan knew they were here to discuss matters, so she did not bring Tangtang.
Cheng Shuqin and Qin Haowen had already returned from the scenic area, so they stayed at home to take care of the children.
The atmosphere at home was still quite tense.
No one else knew what had happened other than Zhang Kun, Li Xu and li Zi’ang.
“What happened?” Seeing that no one was speaking, Ji Zixuan asked.
Li Xu looked at Ji Zi’ang and opened her mouth hesitantly, “It’s Zi’ang…”
“What happened to Zi’ang?” Ji Zixuan asked again.
Ji Zi’ang took a deep breath, “It’s the club. They know about my leg… They want me to pay the penalty for breaching the contract.”
“Why are they so excessive?” Huang Weiwei frowned. “Wasn’t this adding insult to injury? In the past, when you made money for them, they wanted to praise you to the heavens. It has only been less than two months, and they can’t wait anymore?”
Ji Zi’ang smiled bitterly.
Huang Weiwei felt bad for him. Racing was dangerous, and he risked his life to earn money for the club.
At that time, she had seen how hard the club had squeezed Zi’ang.
Throughout the year, there was almost no time to rest.
Even the New Year came and went in a hurry.
It had only been two months since the incident, and the club could not help but abandon him.
They were really too heartless.
“No, rn go find a lawyer with your brother tomorrow…”
“It’s useless. It’s useless to find a lawyer. I’ve already looked through the contract with my lawyer. I have no other choice but to pay up.” He said with a sigh.
When he signed the contract, he was still a nobody.
Therefore, that contract was no different from a contract to sell oneself.
Now that he was worthless, the club would not keep him.
The penalty was the last bit of value the club had squeezed out of him.
When Huang Weiwei heard his words, she looked helpless and did not say anything else.
Since he had found a lawyer, there was basically no room for negotiation in this matter.
Thinking about it, the contract signed by the club would definitely benefit one side.
“We have more than two million yuan here. We want to discuss with you about lending this money to Zi’ang first.” Li Xu said.
“You don’t have to discuss this with us. You can decide whether to lend or give your money.” Ji zixuan expressed his stance as soon as Li Xu finished speaking. He did not discuss it with Huang Weiwei because he knew there was no need to discuss this matter.
Huang Weiwei would definitely agree.
She was not a woman who loved money. If she were, she would definitely have accepted the 900,000 yuan that his parents given her a few days ago.
Li Xu and Zhang Kun didn’t say anything, waiting for the others to express their opinions.
“At this time, we definitely need everyone’s help to think of a solution.” Huang Weiwei also said. “Zixuan and I don’t have much money on hand, only 50,000 to 60,000. Zi’ang, you can use it first.”
“Then I’ll pay for the rest. It’s my royalties.” Ji Yuanyuan explained.
It was her royalties, not the Qin family’s money.
Ji Zi’ang would probably feel a little better using it.
“No need. I plan to sell the car and find a friend to gather some money. It should be enough.” Zi’ang said hoarsely.
“Isn’t it the same as borrowing from a friend or from us? We didn’t say that we’d give you the money. You have to return it.” Ji Yuanyuan said deliberately.
Ji Zi’ang still insisted, “If I sell the car, it shouldn’t be too far off.”
“The car… Are you willing to sell it?” Ji Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment before asking.
That car had been with him for many years.
It was his most familiar old friend. Was he really willing to sell it?
“What’S there to be reluctant about? It would rust if it were left alone. It was better to find a better master for him.”
Ji Yuanyuan wanted to say something more when she heard Ji Zi’ang’s words but Qin Mucheng stopped her.
Ji Yuanyuan quickly understood what Qin Mucheng meant.
Second Brother had his own pride. It was not easy for him to get over it.
Now that such a thing had happened, if she continued to help him feel the burden and made him feel like a good-for-nothing, he might start to shut himself up again.
It was better to let him use his own strength within the limits of his ability.
Perhaps he would feel that he was still helpful.
“Alright, I can help you find a suitable buyer. Liu Chong had a friend who liked to collect retired racing cars, and the price he offered was a little higher than the market price.”
“No need. I’ve already asked a friend to find another buyer.” Ji Zi’ang rejected him directly.
He knew that if Qin Mucheng were to find a buyer, the price would definitely not be low.
Qin Mucheng would definitely pay for it.
Qin Mucheng nodded and did not insist.
“Then that’s it. You gather the money first. If you can’t gather it, tell me ” Ji Yuanyuan looked at Ji Zi’ang. “But don’t come up with any random tricks.”
Things like borrowing money from loan sharks were not something that could be touched.
“I know, don’t worry.”
Li Xu and Zhang Kun called them over to discuss this matter.
After the discussion, a few of them left.
On Monday night, Ji Yuanyuan went to fetch Ji Zi’ang as usual.
His attitude was much better than the first time.
When Teacher Cai was performing acupuncture, Ji Yuanyuan was still watching from the side.
Teacher Cai seemed to be teaching her on purpose. Every time she performed the acupuncture, her movements were very slow.
After the acupuncture, Teacher Cai washed her hands and sat on the sofa to chat with Ji Yuanyuan about Wu Qiuyun.
“What has she been busy with recently?”
Teacher Wu is still researching artificial hearts.” Ji Yuanyuan said.
“Still researching?” Teacher Cai was a little surprised. “She’s really something. I
thought she gave up five years ago.”
Five years ago? What happened five years ago?
Also, what did Teacher Cai mean when she said that it was a pity?
Ji Yuanyuan had many doubts in her heart.
Teacher Wu seemed to have a lot of past.
“What happened to Teacher Wu five years ago?” Ji Yuanyuan asked hesitantly.
“You don’t know?” Teacher Cai looked at Ji Yuanyuan in surprise. “I think
Qiuyun likes you quite a lot. Didn’t she tell you?”
If Qiuyun didn’t like this child, why would she tell her her address?
Ji Yuanyuan smiled awkwardly, “I was just asking casually. Teacher Wu rarely tells us about her private matters.”
Teacher Cai didn’t say anything. Instead, it was the old man beside her who spoke up, “How is Zhou Hua doing in school now?”
“He’S good. The students all like him. Back then, my first choice was also him, but unfortunately, he didn’t want me.” Ji Yuanyuan said politely.
“Zhou Hua has always been short-sighted. He had misjudged both you and
Qiuhua.” The old man shook his head helplessly.
Ji Yuanyuan blinked her eyes and thought, ‘From what the old man is saying, there seems to be a lot of stories between Teacher Wu and Zhou Hua?1
