Chapter 157
The middle-aged man held his nose and walked into the main room, sweeping away the old, weak, sick and disabled in the room. There are question marks in both eyes: who is the boss?
"Please sit down!" Wu Tao pointed to the stool in front of him.
"You are his boss?" The middle-aged man pointed at Song Zhuang with an expression of disbelief.
"That's right." Wu Tao nodded, "I'm Wu Tao, and I'm in charge of the Zhao family's affairs today."
"Just you, why?"
"Why don't you go back and find out?" Wu Tao raised his eyebrows, "Especially the Director of the Health Bureau behind you, he may be able to find out more about me."
Words get in the way.
The middle-aged man, when he heard that Wu Tao was able to point out his background in one word, suddenly felt that it was not easy.
It is not bad for a child of this age to be so scared that he can't pee his pants when he sees this battle.
Not to mention, sitting here so calmly.
What's more, he has such a capable bodyguard, it must not be simple.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man also sat down.
"I belong to Boss Yang. Zhao Dafu is in arrears of more than 23,000 yuan in payment, and he will pay it off before the deadline. Otherwise, Zhao Dafu will be given an arm!"
"IOU?" Wu Tao stretched out his hand.
The middle-aged man took out a piece of paper from his pocket, shook his right hand, and flashed it in front of Wu Tao.
"23880 yuan, Boss Yang?" Wu Tao read out, looking at Zhao Dafu inquiringly.
Zhao Dafu nodded, with a blushed expression, he recognized it.
"Since Zhao Dafu accepts this account, then come and get it tomorrow morning."
"What the hell are you bluffing me, and dismissed me with just one sentence?" The middle-aged man was also stunned.
"Even if you don't believe me, you won't get a penny. At most, you will beat up the people here, and then go to the police station." Wu Tao said slowly: "But this time with me, I can make your back Believe it or not, the director has lost his official title, and you won't get any money."
The middle-aged man froze, this statement is indeed true except for the threatening elements.
"That's not okay, at least you have to sign me to say that you accept the account before I can leave! Otherwise, I won't be able to explain it when I go back."
"I can sign this for you, but it's just a guarantor. The one who is really capable of repaying the debt is her." Wu Tao pointed to Zhao Li.
"She's the only one?" The middle-aged man curled his lips and said.
"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, you will know at most tomorrow morning."
The middle-aged man gritted his teeth when he heard the words, "Okay, I'll trust you one more time!"
After receiving the IOU, Wu Tao signed the guarantor's name without saying a word, then handed the pen and paper to Zhao Li, and looked at her with encouragement.
Zhao Li took the pen and paper, pressed it on her lap, and carefully signed her name stroke by stroke.
After signing, Wu Tao raised the IOU in his hand, "I want to get the money tomorrow, but I still have one condition."
"You..." The middle-aged man thought about it, and it was useless to be angry, "Okay, tell me."
"Bring back to me the things you moved from here in the same condition! Otherwise, don't blame me for deducting everything from this debt!" Wu Tao said word by word, "Isn't that too much? "
After a pause, he continued, "It doesn't matter if you think it's too much, at least you have one night to think about it."
The middle-aged man took the IOU, snorted, turned and left.
We talked like this four times.
Four large and small arrears, totaling more than 46,000 yuan.
Zhao Li took all the responsibility, and Wu Tao made a guarantee.
After all this work, Zhao Dafu, who had been holding back for more than half an hour, finally couldn't hold back, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Xiaoli, where did she get so much money to pay back the debt?"
Peng Xiaojuan turned her head shrewdly, "Could it be that Xiaoli's painting sold for a lot of money?"
"Auntie, you still have a quick brain." Wu Tao smiled and praised, "I handled this matter, and Zhao Li didn't know about it."
"In fact, I'm here today, one is for this matter, and the other is to continue to make an appointment with her."
The couple were taken aback when they heard that, can their daughter's paintings be sold for money?
This is no different from pie in the sky.
Zhao Dafu still couldn't believe it: "What kind of painting is it, and how much did it sell for?"
Wu Tao glanced at Zhao Li and motioned for her to speak for herself.
Zhao Li straightened her temple hair and said, "Some time ago, he made two kinds of wall calendars, using my paintings."
"Use it on a wall calendar?" The couple stared at each other with disappointment on their faces, "How much money can I earn?"
Originally, they thought that their daughter's paintings were bought by discerning buyers like those masters.
Unexpectedly, it was used as an illustration for the calendar. This kind of small trouble can also make money?
Sounds dodgy.
Wu Tao casually said: "Those two types of calendars are selling well. According to the previous rake agreement, Zhao Li can get about 60,000 yuan."
The couple stood up at once, and said in unison: "How much? 60,000 yuan?"
"That's right, 60,000!" Wu Tao nodded with a smile, "Because there is too much money, it is inconvenient for me to carry it, so I didn't bring it today. Since this situation happened at home, I will take it out early tomorrow morning."
Peng Xiaojuan immediately took the eldest daughter's hand excitedly and said: "Xiao Li, you really saved my parents and our family!"
Zhao Dafu was also excited beyond words, his swollen face turned rosy.
However, Wu Tao's words were not finished yet.
"So Uncle Zhao, going to college and becoming a white-collar worker is not the only way out. If Zhao Li can do a good job in painting, the money she will earn in the future will be no worse than that of a white-collar worker in a big city!"
"Yes yes yes!" Zhao Dafu rubbed his hands, hastily said.
"Also, relying on others is worse than relying on yourself. Zhao Li has been much smarter than you in dealing with the marriage contract from the very beginning. Isn't it?" Wu Tao continued.
Although the words were not heavy, every word touched Zhao Dafu's heart.
Back then when he went to sea to do business, he was used to taking shortcuts and taking shortcuts, and he developed this habit in all aspects of dealing with things.
Including marrying a daughter, marrying a family, and involuntarily wanting to play tricks to maximize benefits.
As a result, not only almost destroyed the family, but also broke the daughter's heart.
At least my daughter was such a cheerful and lively girl before, but now? I became a lot more reticent, and I lost a lot of weight...
Thinking of this, Zhao Dafu felt pain in his heart.
Then he snapped and slapped himself hard. Peng Xiaojuan was so frightened that she quickly stopped him and said, "Why are you crazy? Your face is still swollen!"
Zhao Dafu gave Zhao Li a guilty look, and walked into the courtyard without saying a word. In the darkness of night, I picked up those scattered drawings one by one, carefully exhibited and commented, and sorted them out...
Peng Xiaojuan ignored her husband's actions. After thanking Zhao Li, she pulled Wu Tao again and said with tears in her eyes, "Thank you for coming today! Don't worry, we will fully support Xiaoli when she paints. Auntie, thank you for supporting her." and help, thank you..."
