Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

Zhao Wenhao left, taking the heavy passbook with him.

This was Fang Jianxin's intention, and he didn't want to let it down.

"Wenhao, you're back! Where have you been? We've been waiting for you for ages!"

As soon as he returned to the company, Zhao Wenhao saw his mother Wei Chunlan and his second uncle Zhao Aimin waiting downstairs of the company, accompanied by Wang Changzheng.

"Mom, Uncle, why are you here?" Zhao Wenhao was a little surprised, but also felt a little strange.

The company has been open for more than half a year. Except for the time when the two of them came once when it first opened, they have basically not been here since then.

Did something happen at home?

"How long are you going to keep this secret? We've all heard that your company owes hundreds of thousands of dollars and can't even pay the workers."

Zhao Wenhao was just about to ask about the situation, but he didn't expect Wei Chunlan to start wiping her tears.

Who? Which bastard spread the news?

Zhao Wenhao had specifically explained this matter, but he didn't expect that it would still reach his family.

"Wenhao, why didn't you tell your family about such a big thing? Even though we can't help much, we can at least help and think of a solution!"

Zhao Aimin came over and also complained.

Zhao Wenhao quickly pulled Wei Chunlan over and helped her wipe away her tears. "Mom, Uncle, it's not as serious as you think. I can handle it myself, don't worry."

"Don't lie to us, Mingliang has already told us. Wenhao, this is a kind gift from my second uncle. It's not much, I can only get 1 yuan, so take it first."

After saying that, Zhao Aimin took out a stack of banknotes from the bag he was carrying and forced it into Zhao Wenhao's hand.

In the past two years, Zhao Aimin followed Zhao Wenhao to sell herbal medicine and made some money.

This ten thousand yuan is basically all his savings.

Zhao Wenhao was a little amused and helpless, and at the same time, he felt moved again.

"Second uncle, I..."

Zhao Wenhao was about to explain when he was immediately interrupted by Zhao Aimin, "Wenhao, if you don't accept it, you're looking down on your second uncle. Keep this money for now. I'll borrow some from my friends later. Pay off your debts as soon as possible."

Oh, never mind, just take it.

Looking at Zhao Aimin's serious expression, Zhao Wenhao still did not refuse this kindness.

"Son, this is the money you've given me over the years. I saved it all for you. The password is your birthday."

After Zhao Aimin finished speaking, Wei Chunlan also came forward with a passbook in her hand. There was a total of 1.2 yuan in it. It was the one that Zhao Wenhao had opened for her.

Forget it, just accept it so that they won’t worry.

Zhao Wenhao did not refuse this time, thinking that at worst he could just keep it for them and return it to them after some time.

Otherwise, I don’t know how much nonsense I would have to say.

Just when Zhao Wenhao was about to take them into the company cafeteria to have lunch, he didn't expect someone to come to visit again.

"Haozi, it's a good thing you're here. We were wondering if you'd gone out. Aunt, Uncle, you're here too."

The people who came were Zhao Wenhao’s two good brothers, Zhao Dagou and Zhao Mingliang.

Zhao Wenhao didn't even have to think about it to know why the two of them came here.

So, he walked up to them and held out his hand to them, "Tell me how much money you brought with you. Just give it to me."

Zhao Dagou and Zhao Mingliang smiled at each other, opened their backpacks and took out money from them.

"This is thirty thousand. We chipped in together."

Since taking over Zhao Wenhao's herbal medicine business, the two have made a lot of money.

Although the county later raised the purchase price, their profits were certainly not comparable to Zhao Wenhao's at that time, but after such a long period of accumulation, they still had some savings.

This time, when they heard Zhao Mingtang say that the company had problems, they hurried to the bank to withdraw their savings and sent them over as soon as possible.

"Okay, I'll stop with the polite words. I just want to tell you that things haven't reached that point yet. Give me two months, and I'll definitely turn the situation around. Let's go eat."

Zhao Wenhao didn't want to explain too much and just took them to eat.

Of course, to Wei Chunlan and others, it seemed that Zhao Wenhao said this on purpose because he was afraid that they would worry.

Therefore, they did not expose him. However, they were still thinking with a heavy heart, whether there was still a place where they could borrow money to help Zhao Wenhao overcome the difficulties.

At noon that day, after lunch, everyone left without staying.

Originally, Zhao Wenhao wanted to drive them there, but they refused.

In desperation, Zhao Wenhao had to give up.

The total amount is 5.9 yuan. Although it cannot cover the entire payment for the goods, it can be used to cope with the situation for a period of time.

At least the suppliers didn't come to collect debts every day, which gave Zhao Wenhao some peace and quiet for a while.

So, the days passed one by one, and finally December 12th arrived.

"Mom, 'Outside Girl' is about to start, come and watch it!"

"Coming!"

"Hey, this is Liu Dehua. He actually endorses an electric water heater?"

"Who is Liu Dehua?"

"Mom, you're too old-fashioned. Liu Dehua is a big star in Hong Kong Island. Many of our classmates like him!"

"It's really cool, and the commercial is well-made. However, I haven't seen this water heater in a department store. It looks like it has some very advanced features!"

"Mom, look at the small words below. It's made in our Huining Province. It's amazing that they even got Liu Dehua to be the spokesperson. It would be great if Liu Dehua could come to Xuanzhou. I could ask for an autographed photo!"

……

The advertisement went online as scheduled at 12 pm on December 25th.

At this time, Zhao Wenhao and the company's management were sitting in the cafeteria with a large color TV in front of them.

The advertisement for their company was also being played on TV.

The ad is very short, only 15 seconds.

But Liu Dehua's handsome face and the scene of him taking a bath were deeply imprinted in the hearts of most people.

"What do you think?" Zhao Wenhao walked forward and turned off the TV.

"Liu Dehua is so handsome! I didn't expect his chest muscles to be so well-developed!"

Li Hongmei couldn't help but start a conversation, which caused everyone to burst into laughter.

She was the only woman present, and the other men wouldn't pay attention to how handsome the men on TV were.

"Mr. Zhao, I think this ad is really well-made. It quickly introduces the main functions and biggest highlights of our water heaters."

Chen Weiye stood up and continued speaking.

"Mr. Zhao, I think the overall picture is very heartwarming. With such a big star bathing, it will definitely attract people's attention." Without waiting for others to speak, Qin Cheng said excitedly.
