After the divorce, I became a mountain god

Tang Xiaotong was forced into a corner and had no choice but to muster up the courage to ask Xu Boan for help. After all, she owed Xu Boan a favor, so it took a lot of courage to ask for help.

In fact, Tang Xiaotong didn't have to ask Xu Boan for help. After all, these days, there are so many and countless types of loans.

No matter what well-known software it is, it seems that they are all engaged in the loan business. Even navigation and short videos have begun to get involved in the loan business.

Tang Xiaotong also has some friends, some of whom she has helped by doing good deeds.

However, there is a saying that goes, those who have helped you will always help you, but those you have helped may not always help them!

Xu Boan not only helped Tang Xiaotong, but also had the ability to do so.

Most of Tang Xiaotong's friends are her schoolmates or admirers. Some of them have just started working and have little ability, or their motives are not pure.

At the moment, finding Xu Boan has become the best option.

People say that too many lice won't bite you, and too many debts won't burden you. This phenomenon is called "adaptation" or "habituation" in psychology.

In fact, the same is true for favors. When someone is very kind to you, or has a lot of favors, you will most likely not want to trouble others anymore.

Instead of owing favors to many people, it is better to repay this one person.

Tang Xiaotong thought about it and then went to find Xu Boan and said these words.

Because there was no precedent for withdrawing salary in advance, Tang Xiaotong was a little uneasy and even prepared to be rejected.

Anyway, I owe Xu Boan a lot of favors, so it’s not shameful to be rejected by him!

This mentality is shameless, but very real!
Because she was mentally prepared to be rejected, after seeing Xu Boan's embarrassed expression, before Xu Boan could speak, Tang Xiaotong hurriedly said: "Mr. Xu, this... this matter is really embarrassing for you,
I… I really have no other choice, so I asked you for help. I know that it is really too much to advance two years' salary, so can I only advance this year's salary? I will think of other ways to pay for the rest? Do you think this is okay?"

To prove that what he said was true, he took out a medical record issued by the hospital from his pocket and handed it to Xu Boan.

Xu Bo'an looked at the medical record and said with a smile: "You have been going through so much trouble. It turns out that you just need money urgently. Since using money can save lives, it can't be simpler. I thought it was a big deal."

Tang Xiaotong was delighted when she heard Xu Boan's words. Did Mr. Xu agree?

So she said incredulously with a look of joy on her face: "Could it be that Mr. Xu, you have agreed?"

Xu Boan shook his head and explained, "You know, advance payment of wages is something that has never happened before in our company. It's not easy to open this loophole. Once it's opened, if all the workers come to advance their wages, then the company will be in trouble."

Tang Xiaotong knew that Xu Boan was right. The company had to be run. If she took an advance on her salary and others followed suit, it would be difficult to control the situation.

Agree, the company's cash flow has been squeezed, the cost is huge, and it may even go bankrupt.

If you don't agree, why should you give Mr. Xu's beautiful secretary an advance? This will have a very bad impact.

After hearing what Mr. Xu said, Tang Xiaotong's face tightened, and then her expression became gloomy again.

Xu Bo'an changed the subject and said with a smile: "Although the company cannot give you this money in the form of an advance on your salary, as your leader, I should find a way to solve the difficulties of my subordinates. In this case, I can personally advance the money for you."

When Tang Xiaotong heard that Mr. Xu was willing to advance the money for her, she subconsciously thought that once the money was gathered, her mother's surgery could be performed. She was very happy at that moment, but then she changed her mind.

Why would the leader be willing to lend money out of his own pocket to a stranger? At this moment, Tang Xiaotong's mind was filled with wild thoughts. Could it be that Mr. Xu had other intentions towards her?
After all, I have watched TV dramas and short dramas that have become popular recently in my spare time, all of which have such plots. As I was daydreaming, I unconsciously tightened my already tightly-fitting clothes.

Then I thought, no matter what, as long as I can get the money, I can cure my mother's illness, and it will be worth it no matter what the price I pay.

Even if we take a step back, Mr. Xu is older than me, but he still has a strong personal charm. Especially after getting to know him for a while, I admire my boss more and more. So, it is not a loss even if I give myself to him. Thinking of this, Tang Xiaotong relaxed her tense body again.

To Xu Boan, this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket, but to Tang Xiaotong at this moment it is a huge number, so she couldn't help but have such wild thoughts in her mind.

Xu Boan saw Tang Xiaotong's little action and could guess what she was thinking at the moment. He wanted to say that the money didn't need to be paid back, thinking that it was a charity.

But Xu Bo'an, who was not short of money, was also worried that his generosity would lead to misunderstandings among the female employees, so he immediately interrupted her thoughts and said with a smile: "This is not a free lunch. You need to pay this money back later, but don't worry. You can pay it back when you have saved enough. I'm not in a hurry to use it for the time being. Send me your card number and I'll transfer it to you now."

Tang Xiaotong was a little confused after hearing what Xu Boan said, but she still obediently sent her bank card number. After a while, she heard a "ding" sound from her mobile phone. When she opened the message, she saw that 200,000 yuan had arrived in her account.

Seeing the real extra number in the bank card, which was 50,000 yuan more than the number she said, Tang Xiaotong was very excited. She bowed and said with tears of gratitude: "Thank you so much, Mr. Xu. This money is a life-saving straw for me and my mother. You are the great benefactor of our family. I will always remember your kindness."

Giving timely assistance and adding icing on the cake are two completely different concepts. Giving timely assistance means lending a helping hand when others need help the most. It is a precious kind of sincerity and assistance.

"Adding icing on the cake" means adding a little more beauty to a good situation. Although it is also a positive action, the degree and significance of the help are far less far-reaching than providing timely assistance.

At this moment, Xu Boan is the person who helps Tang Xiaotong in times of need.

Tang Xiaotong now realized that she had been thinking too much. Mr. Xu laughed just now not because her request was too outrageous, but because in Mr. Xu's eyes, hundreds of thousands of yuan was just a number that could not be any smaller.

It was because I was too conservative that I thought of Mr. Xu like that. Mr. Xu really wanted to help me, not the messy person I thought he was. Comparing the past and the present, Tang Xiaotong felt that Xu Bo'an's character was like a towering mountain, which was admirable. She was more determined to "follow Mr. Xu's lead"!
Tang Xiaotong was feeling very strange at the moment. On the one hand, she felt very regretful for having distorted Mr. Xu's character just now.

On the other hand, I couldn't help but mutter in my heart, what's the matter, is it because I'm not good-looking, not charming enough? Why does Mr. Xu want to draw a line between me and me? You know, when I was in school, I was considered a golden flower in the college. There were even scouts looking for me when I walked on the street.

Why can’t I catch Mr. Xu’s eye?
Xu Boan said, "Don't be so polite. Every family has its own problems. We need to lend a helping hand in times of difficulty. Besides, giving a rose to someone will leave a sweet fragrance on your hands. I am also very happy to be able to help your mother. You should take a rest for a few days."

Tang Xiaotong was even more moved when she heard this. She had only been working for a few days and had just taken a long vacation. Now Mr. Xu was so generous as to let her have a rest.

Is there such a good boss in the world?
Lend you money, no need to rush to pay it back!

And let you take a vacation, a very long vacation!
Taking a long vacation?
Thinking of this, Tang Xiaotong felt a panic in her heart.

That's not right. I've only been working for less than a year, which doesn't even meet the standard for annual leave. Although personal leave and sick leave are arranged humanely within the company and not too harsh, they are still okay for three or five days, but it shouldn't be that simple for a long time!

Mr. Xu is not going to fire himself for doing this! Or, he is going to replace himself and let himself take over the project!
My position is Xu Bo'an's secretary, but now I am always on vacation. Isn't it a bit inappropriate?

Tang Xiaotong said hurriedly, "Boss Xu, this is inappropriate. I'm your secretary. You're working here, so how can I always take a vacation? There's nothing wrong at the hospital. My sister and I can take turns to take care of it. It won't affect your work too much."

Xu Bo'an chuckled in his heart and thought, since I'm not going to continue working here and I'm going to apply for internal retirement or medical retirement, why should I care about whether a secretary exists?
But of course, Xu Boan would not tell Tang Xiaotong about this. Her relationship with Xu Boan was far inferior to that between Tang Xiaohu and Xu Boan, and it was not to the point where Xu Boan could tell her this secret with confidence.

After all, if this secret were to leak out, it would bring turmoil to the company, so Xu Boan would not leak it casually.

Xu Boan immediately waved his hand and said, "It's okay. The earth will continue to rotate without anyone, and so will the company. Family is different. Take care of your mother first. Don't worry about the company's affairs."

Will the company continue to operate even if anyone leaves?
Tang Xiaotong's heart was pounding when she heard this. Was this a hint that she was really going to quit her job?
There's no chance of being demoted!

This job is very important to me, I must not lose it.

Tang Xiaotong said hurriedly: "Mr. Xu, there is really no need to take a vacation. I can be busy, don't worry."

Seeing Tang Xiaotong's doubts, Xu Bo'an nodded and said, "Okay, it's up to you. If you want to take a leave, just tell me anytime."

Seeing Xu Boan say this so easily, Tang Xiaotong was a little confused for a moment.

Mr. Xu doesn't look like he is dissatisfied with me. Am I really overthinking it?

but……

Forget it, no matter what, if someone is good to you, you must remember to repay them.

Tang Xiaotong said firmly: "Mr. Xu, if you have anything to tell me in the future, I will definitely follow your lead."

Xu Bo'an smiled and waved his hand, saying, "You look like a strong woman marching in battle, a modern Mulan. Okay, don't think too much, just work hard. It's fate that we can work together, and it's only natural for us to help each other."

Xu Boan had the habit of taking a nap at noon. It was already past one o'clock in the afternoon. While talking, Xu Boan started yawning repeatedly.

Tang Xiaotong saw this and said quickly: "Mr. Xu, I will pay you back the money as soon as possible. I won't bother you anymore. You should take a rest. After saying that, she wrote a promissory note to Xu Bo'an and put it on his desk, then turned and left."

Xu Boan picked up the IOU and looked at it, thinking that he had never thought about her paying back the money. From his point of view, he was just doing charity. After all, he didn't care about this little money. When people have money, they like to do good deeds.

It was just that seeing Tang Xiaotong's reserved look at the time, he was afraid that she would overthink it, so he said he would pay it back. However, even if Xu Boan said at the time that she didn't have to pay the money back, Tang Xiaotong would never do that given her character.

Therefore, there was no point in Xu Boan keeping this IOU. As a wealthy man, he immediately crumpled up the IOU and threw it into the trash can, then walked towards the lounge.

It is cloudy today, which is perfect weather for sleeping. There is nothing to do at work in the afternoon, so Xu Boan just slept until mid-afternoon.

He was still awakened by the ringing of the phone. Xu Boan picked up the phone in a daze, and heard a hearty laughter from the other end of the phone. This laughter woke Xu Boan completely awake from his sleep.

Xu Boan sat up and heard the other end of the phone continue to say: "Hello, hello, I am Qu Feifan from Jiangcheng Qu Group. You are the racing master I saw last time. Your driving skills are really great. I was shocked by your speed at that time.
I've been looking for you for a long time, and I finally found you today. You're really a hidden master. How about it? Are you interested in chatting about racing or having a friendly match? "

After Qu Feifan finished his meal with Zhong Yan and his group, he watched them leave and got into his car. When he took out his cell phone, he saw the missed calls and the message from Vice Minister Zhou.

When he saw that it was the driving god of Akina Mountain, he was so excited that he immediately called Xu Boan in the car.

Xu Boan said calmly: "Hello, Mr. Qu, I'm afraid I have to say sorry."

Qu Feifan frowned upon hearing this and said, "Don't worry, I won't use you for nothing. I will give you a large sum of money as a reward."

Xu Boan explained: "This is not about money. Don't get me wrong. I have to make this clear to you in advance. I am not good at driving. The last time I went up the mountain was because I was in a hurry, so I subconsciously drove a little fast. It really made me drive normally. I drive very steadily."

Qu Feifan was dumbfounded when he heard this. What was going on? He had worked so hard to find an expert, but it turned out to be a fake!

This is a little hard to accept! (End of this chapter)
