Borrowing money?
Xu Taiping was surprised, he hadn't expected to hear that word from Zhao Xianglu's mouth.
However, Xu Pingping didn't think much of it. After staying in the capital for so many days, he had heard many rumors about the Zhao Family, and none of them were good.
Xu Taiping was silent for a moment before he asked, "Can I borrow your money or the Zhao Family's money?"
Xu Taiping's question caused Zhao Xianglu to gape for a moment. Then she asked, "What's the difference?"
"There's a big difference. I'll lend you as much as you want. If you're borrowing the Zhao Family's money, you shouldn't be the one borrowing from me." Xu Taiping said.
"Lend me the Zhao Family's money." Zhao Xiangreu said after a moment of thought.
"Then let other people find me, like Zhao Taiji or Zhao Taiheng. These people are more capable than you at being the master of the Zhao Family. What's wrong with the Zhao Family asking you to come and borrow from me?" Xu Taiping asked.
Taiping, I know you are very rich now, but the Zhao Family is facing a huge crisis, and borrowing money is something they had no choice but to do. I believe that after this crisis, the Zhao Family will definitely return to its original state, so, please, lend us some money. Zhao Xiangreu pleaded.
I am indeed very rich. As long as you want it, I will lend you as much as you want. However, if you are here to borrow money from the Zhao Family, I will not give you a single cent, because I am worried that the Zhao Family will not be able to repay my money. "Xu Taiping shook his head and said.
"Then aren't you worried that I'll pay you back?" Zhao Xianglu asked.
In my heart, if you think it's worth that price, then I think it's worth it. If you don't want to pay me back, then I don't care. I think it's worth it to use that money to see through a friend of mine. Xu Taiping shook his head.
"Sigh!" Zhao Xianglu sighed and said, "I am touched by your words, but the Zhao Family really needs help now."
"Borrowing money is not the only way to help, in this world, the only way to save people is by myself, and I have more or less understood the Zhao Family's situation, on one hand, it is because of a lot of pressure from many parties, and also because there is a lot of encirclement and suppression between them. On the other hand, it is also because Zhao Taiji has become the head of the Zhao Family, and I don't have too much aversion towards Zhao Taiji, but as the head of the Zhao Family, he has done a bad job, and the Zhao Family's cards are completely ruined. Before, the Zhao Family went along smoothly without so much pressure, so he can help the Zhao Family earn a lot of money." Xu Taiping said.
"Patriarch, he … They don't seem to care too much about the affairs of the clan. " Zhao Xianglu said.
"Since that's the case, then I can't help your Zhao Family any longer. incense burner, you are a good friend of mine, I can give you a promise, as long as you are willing to, I will give you my property, my position, anything you want. I can give you the annual salary, but lending it to the Zhao Family is impossible." Xu Taiping said.
"Is it really impossible?" Zhao Xianglu asked.
"I'm a businessman. I never invest without any confidence." Xu Taiping said.
"Alright, I understand." Zhao Xianglu nodded, then bitterly smiled, "Actually, I already knew it would turn out like this, but I still didn't give up. Dugu Ying told me not to come and find you, but I still came, sigh."
"The Zhao Family is too high, the sky is falling, we can just have them supporting us. How old are you, and all you have to do is put everything on your shoulders. You're too tired, incense burner. Xu Taiping said.
"I know." "But, this is the Zhao Family that gave birth to me and raised me. That year, the Old Master gave me a new life and made me loyal to the Zhao Family for the rest of my life. I may be weak, but even if the building falls, I am willing to be the last person to support it."
"Don't put it too heavily, your body won't break into pieces, I'll take care of everything." Xu Taiping said.
"You?" Zhao Xiangreu looked at Xu Taiping.
Xu Taiping was young, thirty-one years old, and very handsome. On his face, Zhao Xianlu could see some of the unique features of the Zhao Family …. Sunlight, handsome, and always sure.
How could such a person not be a member of the Zhao Family?
That ordinary young man, Xu Taiping, in less than a year, had grown up to become the richest man in China. Even the Zhao Family could only look up to his existence. If he had been in the Zhao Family all this time, would the Zhao Family still be like this?
What if Xu Taiping was the head of the Zhao Family? Then perhaps, the Zhao Family would have more hope?
Zhao Xianglu was looking at Xu Taiping, and so was Xu Taiping.
Zhao Xiangreu was pale and haggard. It was obvious that she was not well off.
Because Xu Taiping had been to the Rothschild Family's treasury, he knew very well that under the temptation of the treasure trove, the people who entered would definitely attack the Zhao Family.
In this peaceful times, all the shortcomings of the Zhao Family were covered up and hidden. And once a person entered this chaotic world, all the shortcomings of the Zhao Family would be magnified.
Even with Old Man Zhao around, the Zhao Family would still find it difficult to survive, not to mention the fact that Zhao Taiji was unqualified. After all, the Zhao Family would not stand a chance against the world's most powerful force without a top figure like Zhao Gang.
The fall of the Zhao Clan was only a matter of time. Even Xu Taiping was looking forward to the fall of the Zhao Clan.
He was no longer a member of the Zhao Family. If the Zhao Family fell, Rothschild's treasury would be completely opened. At that time, he would have a share of the endless treasures inside …
A person would never be satisfied with their current wealth. After he had money, he would become even richer, not to mention that there were many things in the Rothschild Family's treasury that not even money could buy.
"Come on, let's go out for a walk. It's a good day, isn't this the Yonghe Palace? Let's go and burn incense, please bless us!" Xu Taiping suggested.
"No, I think I should go back to the Zhao Family. I have some matters to attend to!" Zhao Xianglu said.
"Can you handle so many things by yourself?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Someone has to deal with it, no?" Zhao Xianglu asked.
"Alright, you must take care of your rest!" He was Zhao Xianglu's friend, but not his father. Everyone could choose their own way of life, and since Zhao Xianglu had decided to serve the Zhao Family, he could only bless him. He couldn't do anything else.
"Dugu Ying, go play with Tai Ping. I'll be leaving first." As he spoke, he turned around and left.
Watching Zhao Xianglu leave, Dugu Ying made a gesture to Xu Taiping, implying that Zhao Xianglu was very pitiful.
"Sigh, there's no other way. I've chosen my own path. Let's go burn some incense and pray for Xiangyou. How about it?" Xu Taiping asked.
Dugu Ying nodded repeatedly. Afterwards, the two of them left the hotel and went to the nearby Yonghe Palace.
The winter sun was warm.
Dugu Ying and Xu Taiping got out of the car together.
The sunlight shone down on the two of them.
Dugu Ying closed her eyes comfortably, opened her arms and faced the sunlight.
Xu Taiping stood aside, looking at Dugu Ying.
Today, Dugu Ying's upper body was dressed in a grey knitted sweater. The sweater was very big, acting like a jumpsuit, while her lower body was covered with flesh-colored stockings, and outside of the stockings was a pair of long boots.
Dugu Ying lowered her head and looked at Xu Taiping.
The pair of clear eyes even made Xu Taiping feel a little embarrassed.
"Let's go." Xu Taiping walked forward with his hands in his pockets.
Dugu Ying sweetly smiled, walked to Xu Taiping's side, took his hand, and then put her head on his shoulder.
From the looks of it, he was probably treating Xu Taiping as his boyfriend.
Xu Taiping knew that Dugu Ying was a simple person. She only did it because she felt comfortable, or because she had a good impression of him. So he didn't think too much about it.
The two of them went to the Yonghe Palace, burned some incense, and also donated some money. Afterwards, Xu Taiping had nothing to do, so he directly took Dugu Ying to the nearby temple fair.
There were many interesting things at the temple fair: the head of the kneading mask, the martial artists who performed the martial arts, and the rowdy children.
Dugu Ying happily pulled Xu Taiping around, buying a lot of things.
It was already evening by the time he finished visiting the temple. Xu Taiping brought Dugu Ying to the side of the street. Just as he was thinking about eating dinner with Dugu Ying, a Mercedes-Benz S600 stopped beside him.
The car window rolled down, revealing Dugu Jiuhe's face, which Xu Taiping hadn't seen in a long time.
"Yingying, get in." Dugu Jiuhe said.
"Hm." Dugu Ying slightly pursed her lips, looking at Xu Taiping, seemingly reluctant to part with him.
"Your brother came to pick you up. Go back. Next time, when I come to the capital, I'll ask you out." Xu Taiping said with a smile.
Hearing Xu Taiping's words, Dugu Ying nodded her head and gave a thumbs up.
"Don't change your hook for a hundred years." Xu Taiping smiled as he hooked his pinky with Dugu Ying.
Dugu Ying revealed a happy smile and then got into the car.
"Peace, for tomorrow's celebratory feast, leave me a seat." Dugu Jiuhe said.
"Alright, I'll be waiting for you tomorrow!" Xu Taiping nodded.
After that, Xu Taiping watched Dugu Jiu and Dugu Ying leave, then headed towards the hotel.
