Chapter 208: Not Providing a Guarantee is Unfilial! Hao Yue's Outrageous Youngest Uncle!
Hao Yue: "I can wait for you at Jiuxiang Catering or Spark Media."
Hao Yue: "Just ten minutes is enough. Some things are hard to explain over wechat... my mind is a bit of a mess!"
Su Yang finally realized that he was like a senior monk with his own temple.
Su Yang replied helplessly: "When do you have time?"
Hao Yue: "Anytime!"
Su Yang: "4:00 PM, at the Starbucks near Hyatt Plaza!"
Hao Yue: "Thank you, President Su!"
Su Yang put down his phone and went to do other things.
At 4:00 PM, Su Yang arrived at Starbucks on time.
As soon as he entered, he saw the pure and beautiful Hao Yue stand up from her seat and wave at him.
Seeing Hao Yue, most of his annoyance dissipated.
It wasn't because he thought Hao Yue was pretty, but because he suddenly remembered she wasn't very old.
She seemed to be nineteen or twenty.
He didn't even know if she had finished her freshman year!
Perhaps she was just desperately seeking help from anyone?
Arriving in front of Hao Yue, she immediately bowed respectfully and said, "President Su!"
Quite polite!
"Sit down."
"Okay!"
Seeing Su Yang sit down, Hao Yue also sat down formally in front of him.
However, Hao Yue looked somewhat constrained.
Having not seen each other for a few months, their relationship seemed to have grown quite distant.
Su Yang remembered that when this girl was at the bar before, they interacted more like friends.
"What coffee would you like, President Su?"
"A latte, I guess."
Su Yang wasn't picky about coffee; he even drank instant coffee.
After ordering the coffee for Su Yang, Hao Yue fell silent.
Su Yang took a brief look at Hao Yue; she had a traditional Chinese oval face, willow-leaf eyebrows, and cherry lips.
Perhaps because she had practiced classical dance for a long time, she carried a natural air of quiet elegance.
Her posture while sitting in the chair was excellent and pleasing to the eye!
But now, Hao Yue would occasionally frown slightly, with an indelible look of worry on her face.
Once the waiter brought the coffee, Su Yang got straight to the point: "You haven't contacted me for so long, what's the matter that made you suddenly look for me?"
Hao Yue looked at Su Yang, her small fists clenched slightly.
Then she lowered her head, took a deep breath, and said as if she had made a decision: "It's about the guarantee!"
"Huh?"
Su Yang looked at Hao Yue in surprise.
He naturally remembered this matter!
At the time, he had joked with Hao Yue that if she wasn't afraid of going bankrupt, she could provide the guarantee!
"Who provided the guarantee?"
"My dad!"
"Does he know the potential risks?"
"He does!" Hao Yue nodded. "I told him!"
"Oh."
Since that was the case, what else could he say?
It wasn't a scam!
Su Yang took a small sip of the coffee; the texture was smooth and delicate.
It had both the bitterness of coffee and the sweetness of milk; it felt quite good.
Looking up, Su Yang noticed Hao Yue was still looking at him. "Is the money unable to be repaid now?"
"I feel like something's not right!"
"In what way?"
"My Youngest Aunt bought a Mercedes-Benz!"
"Mhm."
Su Yang indicated he was listening.
"My dad went to my youngest uncle to ask for the money back!"
"Your dad lent money out too?"
"He also lent my youngest uncle three hundred thousand!"
"Mhm."
"Then my youngest uncle said doing business... he lost money!"
"He lost money in business but can still buy his wife a Mercedes-Benz?"
Su Yang really wanted to say, your youngest uncle is actually quite good to his wife!
But on second thought, he realized the true nature of the situation.
Hao Yue frowned and said, "I feel like that's the problem!"
"There indeed seems to be a problem." Su Yang started to feel interested. "What kind of person is that youngest uncle of yours?"
Hao Yue recalled: "Not very good. I heard from my mom that my youngest uncle started hanging out in society before finishing middle school. In his early years, he was a vagrant, owed debts everywhere, and had been to jail. My dad helped him a lot... It was only after he got married that he gradually settled down, did some small business, and made some money."
Hao Yue added: "He's actually quite good to me; he used to buy me small gifts when I was a child."
"Alright." Su Yang thought about his wording before asking, "Then why would your dad provide a guarantee for him?"
No matter how he heard it, Hao Yue's youngest uncle didn't seem like a reliable person!
"My grandmother forced my dad to sign it!" Hao Yue lowered her head and said softly. "My grandmother said that not helping my youngest uncle with the guarantee is being unfilial..."
"Does your dad have other siblings?"
"He also has a younger brother and a younger sister." Hao Yue explained, "My second uncle has a bad relationship with my grandparents, and my Aunt isn't in Rongcheng!"
"Your dad is the eldest?"
"Yes."
So they just bully the honest one!
Hao Yue said worriedly: "President Su, do you think there will be a problem?"
"There probably is."
"Then what should I do?"
"What does your dad plan to do?"
"I don't know."
"Communicate with your dad." Su Yang asked the waiter for a ballpoint pen, wrote a phone number on a napkin, and handed it to Hao Yue. "Take this phone number."
"Is it yours, President Su?"
"It's a lawyer's."
What was this girl thinking?
Su Yang added the address and contact person for Hongyu Law Firm on the napkin.
"Oh."
"Hongyu Law Firm. If you mention my name for a legal consultation, you can get a fifty percent discount."
"Thank you, President Su!"
"In your situation, I suggest you consult a lawyer," Su Yang said after a moment's thought. "If your youngest uncle really lost money in business and can't repay the loan, then your family will be in trouble... Also, there's likely something fishy with your youngest uncle and Youngest Aunt. Have your dad investigate if they've gotten a divorce."
"Divorce?"
"Your youngest uncle can go on the blacklist, but it won't affect your Youngest Aunt. If they've also transferred assets... then it's hard to say."
"Won't the bank go after my youngest uncle?"
"Doesn't your dad still have the guarantee?"
Su Yang felt that if the bank could get the money from the Hao family, they probably wouldn't bother going after her youngest uncle!
Who doesn't like picking on the easy targets?
And it follows the legal procedure!
"Uh!" Hao Yue froze for a moment. "Will the bank take away our house?"
"If your dad can't cover the money, why wouldn't they?"
Hao Yue felt like the sky was falling!
"Anyway, you have to communicate with your family. You can't handle this alone."
Su Yang felt like Hao Yue's family didn't seem as anxious as she was.
"Okay!"
"Go ahead."
He could tell that Hao Yue was getting restless.
Hao Yue stood up and said gratefully: "Thank you, President Su!"
"You're welcome."
Watching Hao Yue hurriedly leave with the phone number.
Su Yang finished his coffee in a few gulps and went to the front desk, only to find out that Hao Yue had already paid.
Leaving the cafe, Su Yang checked the time and went to the gym on the way.
As soon as he stepped onto the treadmill, he quickly forgot about Hao Yue's matter.
After all, this matter still had to be handled by the Hao family.
At most, he could give some pointers and help a little.
He wasn't the Goddess of Mercy; he couldn't even care for all his own employees!
No need to spend too much energy on other things!
However, he had to admit that if things were really as he guessed.
Hao Yue's youngest uncle really was a piece of work!
