Chapter 71.
As long as he got out of the French Concession, he was safe.
Wu Jianfeng himself was a trainee inspector of the French Concession, so of course he didn’t need to, he still had to stay and keep inquiring about the progress of the case investigation.
In the afternoon, Cheng Mo had something else to do.
He had an appointment with Wang Hai to sign the investment documents regarding the Flower Room Society and the authorization to publish the Ghost Husband novel, a task that could not be delayed.
There were just over two months left, and he had to earn ten thousand in two months, depending on this hammer deal.
Also, investing in the Flower Room Society, he didn’t have enough money in hand, and although the rewards for assassinating Fan Gang and Yang Fuyuan were finalized, the money hadn’t been sent down yet.
Therefore, Cheng Mo can only cheeky to find sister Cheng Hua borrow money.
Of course, on New Year’s Day, it’s only right to accompany his sister for a meal at noon.
“Sister, I have a good project in hand, I want to invest, do you have money, lend me some?” During the meal, Cheng Mo directly asked.
“How much do you want?” Cheng Hua froze for a moment, but still couldn’t bear to refuse, after all, it was his own brother who opened his mouth to borrow money.
“Five thousand.”
“Five thousand, what do you need so much money for?” Cheng Hua was startled.
“Sister, you don’t ask so much, three months, with interest to pay you back, three percent interest, how?” Cheng Mo said.
“Xiao Mo, doing business is not a joke, you are just now working in the patrol room, don’t be overly ambitious, want to get rich overnight, especially some business is not to be done, understand?” Cheng Hua sternly admonished.
“Don’t worry, I do serious business, I earn money clean and clear.” Cheng Mo also responded seriously.
“OK, five thousand sister shelled out, I don’t want you to pay interest, and I don’t need you to return it, just as a sister to invest in you how?”
“This can’t be, sister, pro sister and brother clear accounts, if this is counted as your investment, my investment in case of success, will not all become your?” Cheng Mo said, “It must be a loan, but also give interest, sis if you want to invest, when my brother’s business succeeds, my sister will then enter the stock is not too late.”
“You kid, when did you learn to be so calculating?” Cheng Hua laughed and scolded, “Cao family side, know you into the patrol room, Miss Cao is also willing to continue to contact you, do you want to ……”
“Sister, didn’t I say, I already have a girlfriend, Miss Cao’s side will not be considered, you help me back, I have no destiny with Miss Cao, I hope that she will soon find the man of her dreams!” Cheng Mo said.
“Really don’t consider it?”
“Really, what I do for a living, sis, you know in your heart, I don’t dare to delay people Miss Cao.” Cheng Mo nodded.
“Alright, let’s leave it at that, I’ll go talk about it.” Cheng Hua sighed, the melon that is twisted is not sweet, not to mention that she also knows Cheng Mo’s current status, with Miss Cao family, that also belongs to many troubles.
Cheng Mo and Cheng Hua withdrew money from the bank and went directly to Wang Hai.
Under the witness of the lawyer, Cheng Mo invested seven thousand dollars and accounted for seventy percent of the shares of the Flower House, while Wang Hai invested thirty percent of the shares with intangible assets such as office premises and personnel.
The registered capital is ten thousand dollars, the establishment of the Flower Room Publishing House.
The president is still Cheng Mo, the general manager is Wang Hai, actually also by Wang Hai is responsible for the editorial team of the Flower Room Society is also by the editor of the Zhengdong Library concurrently.
The first novel published was the ancient novel “Ghost Husband” written by the president Cheng Mo, of course, this secret is only known to Wang Hai, and the editor only knows the author’s pen name “Wind Rising Loulan”.
After signing the authorization, Cheng Mo handed over all the manuscripts to Wang Hai, and then he did the rest. As for dealing with the Bureau of Public Works, it was still Wang Hai’s turn to deal with it, and if Wang Hai couldn’t do it, he would naturally solve the problem.
After all this.
Only then did Cheng Mo get up and head to the French Concession, tonight he promised to go to Su Moer’s home for dinner.
The second time he came to the door, Cheng Mo just carried some fruits and pastries as a courtesy, it is always rude to come to the door empty-handed.
Generally after three times, unless special circumstances, such as festivals, generally boarding the door, then there is no need to bring gifts every time.
“Why are you just coming?” Su Mo’er came to open the door for Cheng Mo with a petulant cry, obviously too bored at home alone and a little upset.
“There was a bit of a delay.” Cheng Mo smiled sarcastically and didn’t explain much, walking into the living room with Su Xing’er.
The fruits and pastries were handed over to Apricot Mom.
“Xiao Cheng just came, no need to buy anything, it’s too much of a favor.” Jiang Liyao greeted with a smile.
“Good day Auntie Jiang.”
“Xiao Cheng is polite, has work been busy for a while, have you accompanied Mo Er out to watch two movies?” Jiang Liyao asked.
“Mom!” Su Moer pouted.
“Good, you young people’s matters, mom won’t ask is all.” Jiang Liyao’s words changed, “However, you guys are also considered to have officially established a relationship, what are the arrangements for the next step of getting married?”
“Getting married, of course I want to get married as soon as possible, I’m just afraid of aggravating Mo’er.” Mother-in-law had asked, only a fool would refuse. “Foamer grew up beside us, it is inevitable that there is some big lady temper, Xiao Cheng, you will be more tolerant in the future ……”
“Mom, we have only just established a relationship, is it too early to get married?”
“Early what, how old are you, when I was your age, your sister would have run away, girls, get married before it’s too late, late, it’s all too late.”
“Late what, foam is still small, the matter of marriage, I think we can wait a little longer.” Su Shouan came down from the second floor with his frame.
“Uncle is right, my job hasn’t stabilized yet, and I’m afraid that my current financial ability is not enough to give Mori a decent wedding, I think that I can wait for a few more months, Auntie, what do you think?” Cheng Mo said.
“Well, reasonable, you guys can finalize the marriage first, the matter of marriage, wait for after the New Year.” Jiang Liyao nodded.
Engaged?
“No way!” Su Shouan clearly expressed his opposition.
“Why not, Su Shouan, if you don’t speak out a reason today, I’m not done with you.” Jiang Liyao questioned.
Su Shouan glanced at his wife and said sheepishly, “The two of them have known each other for too short a period of time, their feelings are still unstable, it’s still too early for them to get engaged, not to mention, when I, Su Shouan, marry my daughter, it’s all about the right match, although Xiao Cheng is working in the Police Department of the Ministry of Public Works Bureau, he’s still not even close to matching with my Su Shouan’s daughter.”
“What door-to-door pairing, when you married me back then, did I ask you to be door-to-door pairing with me?” Jiang Liyao said, “Now that your daughter is getting married, you want to be door-to-door, isn’t Mo’er’s happiness more important than that?”
“This is not the same, Mori’er has been spoiled by us as the pearl in the palm of our hand since she was young, the family she’s going to marry into is one that will never let her be wronged, just this kind of flamboyant person like him, to put it bluntly, he’s a white-washing party.” Su Shouan pointed at Cheng Mo and loudly scolded.
“It seems that uncle has too many preconceived notions about me, then I’ll take my leave and come back another day.” Cheng Mo could accommodate and tolerate for the sake of Su Mo Er, but would never willingly accept insults.
“Little Cheng, don’t listen to him.” Jiang Liyao was also angry, “You were called by auntie to come to the house for dinner, no one can drive you away today.”
“Dad, why are you like this ……,” Su Moer saw her parents arguing over herself, her eyes reddened with anxiety, not knowing what to say.
“If he has a backbone today, get out immediately!” Su Shouan pointed at the door outside the living room and said.
“Uncle, the three month period has not yet arrived, are you afraid?” Cheng Mo stood there, unmoving, a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, asking rhetorically.
“Cheng Mo, what do you mean?”
“Since uncle doesn’t keep his word, don’t blame me for being unkind.” Cheng Mo said, the promised period of three months, you don’t abide by it, I have endured it again and again, if I back down again wouldn’t it be that I don’t even want a man’s dignity.
“I don’t know what you are talking about uninformed words, if you are sensible, hurry up and leave!” Su Shouan denied, after all, the text of the signed agreement is saved in his study safe, Cheng Mo empty words, simply can not help themselves.
“Su Shouan, what did you do to Xiao Cheng?” Jiang Liyao naturally saw that there was a secret between her husband and Cheng Mo.
“Liyao, are you also confused, he’s standing in front of you properly, what can I do to him?” Su Shouan, with a rather innocent expression and sophomoric eloquence, deserved to be born as an insurance man.
“Xiao Cheng, you say, in the end what is the situation?”
“I made a bet with my uncle, as long as I can earn ten thousand dollars within three months with my own ability, he will not object to me being with Moer, and this earned money must be clean.” Cheng Mo said.
When Jiang Liyao heard this, she immediately discerned that this was like Su Shouan’s style, he was definitely capable of doing this kind of thing.
“Originally this was a tacit understanding between me and uncle, but now it seems like uncle is not even trying to give me this opportunity.” Cheng Mo continued.
“Dad, how can you be like this?!” Su Moer was shocked, her own father actually put forward such harsh conditions in order to break up herself and Cheng Mo, earning ten thousand dollars in three months, and it had to be clean money earned by merit, this was too difficult.
Normal means simply can’t do it, and Cheng Mo’s salary is simply not enough, gray income is not considered clean money at all.
Doing business would be doable, but what about the principal, and what kind of business to do to earn so much in three months, not to mention that doing business might not be profitable.
“What’s wrong with dad, if he doesn’t have this ability, what qualifications does he have to marry you and give you back your happiness?” Su Shouan exclaimed.
“Dad, could it be that if Ah Mo can’t make a lot of money, we’ll be unhappy?”
“A man, who can’t earn money, still mentions giving his woman happiness?” Su Shouan sneered, “If dad couldn’t earn money, could you and your mom, your sister, and your brother live the life you have now?”
Cheng Mo sighed slightly in his heart, a businessman’s cognition is only so much, Shi, agriculture, industry and commerce, businessmen ranked at the very end, the old ancestor’s ranking is not without reason.
“Uncle, earning money is just a small way, since I promised to bet against you for three months, naturally I am sure that I can do it, do you believe it or not, if I earn ten thousand dollars in three months, you can’t stop me from marrying Muo Er anymore?” Since he had gotten things off his chest, Cheng Mo naturally wouldn’t end it there.
Su Shouan froze, after all this, Cheng Mo was actually willing to honor the bet.
“Xiao Cheng, you rushed these words today, Auntie didn’t look at you wrongly, you are a man who dares to do things, this bet Su Shouan if he dares to deny it, Auntie will publish a newspaper to divorce him!” Jiang Liyao said heavily, “This kind of man still live with him, what’s the point?”
“Auntie, this can’t be allowed!” Cheng Mo was startled.
“This matter is settled, if you do business and lack capital, auntie here has, 100,000, 80,000 no, one or two million dollars is still there ……”
