Great Power Reclamation

Chapter 2565 Be self-reliant

A retired old man, although he made some mistakes, he was not in the military reclamation city. If you ask them to deal with him at this age, neither of them can do it.

Ayi Jiang asked worriedly, "He has a stubborn temper. What if he really doesn't get paid?"

Liu Junken sighed: "This is what I'm worried about. Can you think of a way to have the best of both worlds?"

But the two men thought about it for a long time but couldn't come up with a solution. They could only shake their heads and deal with it as it came. They couldn't let the old mayor starve to death.

At the same time, in the lobby of the Junken City Local Bank, the lobby manager was receiving a foreigner.

His passport was from the Republic of Korea, but he spoke fluent English and was negotiating with the lobby manager in an emotional manner.

  The lobby manager was a native of Junken City. He was very patient and explained to him:

"I'm sorry, sir, this is your travel passport. We can't give you a loan because you don't have any collateral."

Tom waved his hands excitedly and said, "I told you, my daughter and son-in-law are from Junken City, and I will soon become one too, so why can't I?"

  The lobby manager was somewhat helpless with this stubborn guy, but due to his duties, he couldn't ignore him. After thinking for a while, he asked:

"If you really need money, you can ask your daughter and son-in-law to take out a loan instead of using a tourist visa to take out a loan. Our bank has regulations, and I have no right to give it to you!"

Tom felt helpless. At this moment, he also realized that this might not be possible.

He came to the street early in the morning to look for a shop. Suo Guo's shop was sold and his daughter married Liu Qinghua, so naturally he had to follow.

He is not worried about his residence permit, as he has a son-in-law. But he must first face the problem of survival, as he cannot let his son-in-law support the family of three, right?

  After just strolling around the street, he felt disappointed. The rent was so damn high!

The money he got from selling the house was not enough to cover two months' rent. The key point was that the rent here was at least one year's, and a deposit was also required.

If he were asked to ask his son-in-law for money at this time, he naturally couldn't open his mouth.

So when he saw a bank, he went in and wanted to borrow some money to open the store first, but he was rejected.

Tom was naturally not a man who would give up easily. When the lobby manager asked him to call his daughter and son-in-law over, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Do you know Liu Qinghua?"

The lobby manager was stunned. Not only did she know this person, but she also knew him. He was of her grandfather's generation and was highly respected.

So he nodded quickly: "Yes, I know him. Are you related to him?"

Tom nodded proudly: "He is my son-in-law! How about I call him?"

  The lobby manager hesitated for a moment and decided to make the call himself. Just based on the name Liu Qinghua, let alone 100,000, even 1 million would be no problem!

She went to discuss it with the bank president first, and the president naturally agreed. As long as Liu Qinghua wanted a loan, he would give him any amount!

So she called Liu Qinghua, who was also looking for a house at the time. Since he would no longer receive salary, he naturally had to do something on his own.

If I go to work for others, I guess no one would hire me because of my age.

He and Tom thought the same thing. If it was okay to sell pilaf in Sogo, then it might not be impossible to make white rice in the military reclamation city.

Mainly, except for a few big hotels, the rest of the western restaurants in Junken City are all Russian food, which is very different from real white food.

If I open a small western restaurant, I think the business will be good.

  When the lobby manager asked him if he needed a loan, Liu Qinghua was delighted. He immediately replied:

"Thank you so much, young comrade. How come I'm short of money?"

The lobby manager glanced at Tom. Although the Westerner looked more mature, he looked younger than Liu Qinghua. How old could his daughter be? This old mayor was a typical old cow eating young grass.

No matter how much he complained in his heart, he didn't dare to show any emotion in his tone.

"Your father-in-law is at the bank, here to apply for a loan. Do you think I should lend the money to him or to you?"

This was naturally just a polite remark, because Tom was not eligible for a loan, but she had to say it nicely.

Liu Qinghua's face darkened immediately. This father-in-law really didn't treat him as an outsider. Did he go to the bank to borrow money in his name? What did he want the money for?

Liu Qinghua didn't have much savings. Although he had been single all these years, he had donated a lot to various activities. However, since his pension was very high and he had been living in a nursing home, he had no money to spend, so he didn't save anything.

The key point is who would have thought that he could still marry at this age? And he married two at once.

  Thinking that Tom would definitely do a lot of things in his name in the future, he couldn't stand it, so he said to the lobby manager seriously:

"Let him go. He is not eligible for a loan. I will go and handle the formalities in a moment!"

The lobby manager felt relieved, quickly agreed, and sent Tom away.

But how could Tom be so stupid? Even though he didn't understand Chinese, he knew who he was calling.

Seeing the lobby manager's respectful look, he felt relieved and knew that the matter was settled.

However, considering his son-in-law's status, he decided to do it himself. Even if he lost money, his son-in-law would not be affected.

So he went out of the door but did not leave. Instead, he found a more secluded place and looked at the bank door, waiting for Liu Qinghua to come.

Sure enough, half an hour later, Liu Qinghua appeared at the door of the bank, and he hurried in. The staff had already prepared the documents and were waiting for Liu Qinghua to sign.

As soon as Liu Qinghua picked up the pen, Tom snatched it away:

"This is the money I want, why do I need you to sign it?"

  Liu Qinghua was in a state of confusion. What he feared would come true. Why didn't this guy leave?

So the two of them argued for a while, and after they determined the amount, Tom signed it.

According to the bank president, "We can't let the old mayor down with this matter. Give the money to his father-in-law. It's not worth asking him to sign for 100,000 yuan."

Tom happily took out 100,000 yuan and patted Liu Qinghua on the shoulder.

"Lao Liu, from now on you will be responsible for making babies, and I will take care of the family!"

Liu Qinghua had a dark face, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only follow him silently. Then the two of them worked vigorously to set up the store, found a decoration team, and then moved in.

Although the houses of retired cadres are also in the government compound, they are separated from those of current employees by a wall, so Liu Qinghua feels less pressured.

Everything at home is ready, they just need to buy some daily necessities. The house has four bedrooms and two living rooms, which is enough for them to live in.

Thank you for your votes. I'm back from a business trip. I'll update every day from now on.
