Chapter 614: Chapter 644: I Want a Job With a High Salary, But Not a Tiring One
For Qin Jiao, three to five thousand yuan really wasn’t a big deal.
But where did Qin Jiqun get such audacity?
After all, that was more than what many people earned in several months’ time.
Qin Jiao didn’t say anything, so Qin Jiqun immediately added, "Don’t have that much on hand? In that case, how about you give me one thousand yuan first? That’ll do."
Qin Jiao asked, "Uncle, would this be a loan?"
"Oh, right, a loan."
"Then when will you pay me back?"
"..." Qin Jiqun hadn’t even considered paying it back. ’Why should I? Aren’t we family?’
His expression soured, and he said with some annoyance, "You brat. I’m your elder, you think I’d stiff you? As soon as I have money, I’ll pay you back, of course!"
Qin Jiao said evenly, "Oh. But I can’t come up with that much right now."
"You own such a big factory, and you can’t even come up with this little bit of money?"
"All cash has to be accounted for, and the rest of my money is tied up in savings. I really can’t withdraw that much all at once."
Qin Jiqun slammed his chopsticks on the table with a CLATTER. Fuming, he demanded, "Do you have any respect for me as your elder? Qin Jiao, is this it? You get rich and decide to turn your back on your poor relatives?"
If Shen Yi hadn’t been standing by, glaring at him menacingly, Qin Jiqun would have started swearing.
Qin Jiao, however, was completely unfazed. She picked up a date from the fruit bowl on the coffee table, took a bite, and said leisurely, "Uncle, I really don’t have much in terms of liquid assets. You know I own a company, so why not let me help you find a job instead? Why ask for money directly? Having a job with a stable income—wouldn’t that be better?"
Qin Jiqun froze.
’No. He’d never wanted to work hard a day in his life. The land back home—the plot Mr. Qin had left him—was still lying fallow.’
’If he could get by without working, why should he start now?’
But now... He gritted his teeth and said impatiently, "Just give me the one thousand yuan first. Later, when I need it, you can set me up with a job. And yeah, I want one that’s high-paying but not tiring!"
"Ha." Qin Jiao let out a blunt laugh. Qin Jiqun immediately flew into a rage out of humiliation, but she couldn’t have cared less.
She continued in that same leisurely tone, "It’s a shame, but I don’t have any cash on hand."
Qin Jiqun didn’t give up. "If not a thousand, then surely you have three or five hundred?"
Qin Jiao narrowed her eyes at him. "Why are you so desperate for money? Uncle, why don’t you tell me what this is all about? If it’s really that important, I’ll go out and borrow some for you."
Qin Jiqun fell silent.
’He couldn’t tell her the truth.’
’But this was the only place he could get money right now. Maybe... maybe after Qin Jiao and the others left, he could talk to his mom about it?’
’His mom had been living in North City for so long; she must have some savings, right?’
’Later on, he could slowly figure out another way to get money out of that damn girl, Qin Jiao!’
Just then, there was another knock on the door. Shen Yi immediately got up to open it. The moment he saw the peaked cap of a police officer, Qin Jiqun jolted and made a break for the window.
Qin Jiao added nonchalantly from behind him, "Uncle, this is the tenth floor. If you jump, there’s a very good chance you’ll be a goner. And it’ll be an ugly death, too. You’ll be just like a big, round watermelon... SPLAT! Smashed to pieces."
Qin Jiqun: "..."
’Shit, is this really his niece? She’s a demon!’
