CHAPTER 40

When he woke up, it was already seven in the morning. Xu Fuhai didn't have the habit of getting up early to exercise. From a health perspective, people of his age are not suitable to get up too early. Get up at seven, move around a little, eat and go to work, just be regular. After washing up, when he came to the dining table, breakfast was already ready. It was just a simple bun, millet porridge, boiled eggs, and a few refreshing side dishes. Although he is worth more than one billion, Xu Fuhai is not particular about food. He can eat a big meal of tens of thousands of dollars, and he can also eat light porridge and side dishes. "Old Xu, how about this bun? It's made of fresh meat that Bai Xiaojie bought at the market early in the morning."

Seeing Xu Fuhai sitting down to eat, Lin Mixue said with a smile, "It looks good, better than those sold outside, but it's too troublesome to make this so early in the morning."

Xu Fuhai said with a smile. He used to cook a lot, so he knew how much trouble it was to make freshly made buns. "It's not a big deal. I used to make them at home."

Bai Xiaojie said quickly after hearing Xu Fuhai's words. Xu Fuhai picked up a white and tender bun and took a bite. The mouth was full of salty, fragrant and juicy flavor. He couldn't help but give Bai Xiaojie a thumbs up. "Well, it's delicious. Bai Xiaojie, you can open a bun shop with your cooking skills."

Xu Fuhai was chewing a bun and praising it endlessly. Hearing Xu Fuhai's praise, Bai Xiaojie felt even more embarrassed and waved her hand quickly, saying, "Boss Xu, please stop joking. How can it be compared with those outside?"

"Well, you can't say that. The buns made outside nowadays, who knows what materials they are made of, they just put a lot of seasonings, they taste good when you eat them, but after eating them you ingest a lot of toxins, they are not like the ones made by you, which are safe and delicious."

Xu Fuhai said, finishing one and picking up another, taking a big bite. Seeing that Xu Fuhai liked to eat her buns, Bai Xiaojie also showed a happy expression. Just as she was about to say something, her cell phone suddenly rang. Looking at the caller ID, it was her husband calling. "Mr. Xu, Sister Lin, you guys take your time eating. I'll take a call. It's my husband."

Bai Xiaojie said embarrassedly. "Well, pick it up quickly and see what's going on."

Xu Fuhai nodded and said while eating. Bai Xiaojie stood up, walked to the huge French window in the living room, and answered the phone. As soon as the call was connected, her husband's somewhat anxious voice came from the other end of the phone. "Where are you? Come back quickly!"

The husband on the other end of the phone had a hint of fear in his anxious voice, and he could faintly hear the voices of several men cursing on the phone. "I'm outside, what's going on at home? Are you sober?"

After hearing what her husband said, Bai Xiaojie couldn't help but ask out of concern, even though she was angry. "What time is it? You woke up early! Come back soon. There are a few debt collectors at home who want to seal our house."

On the phone, Bai Xiaojie's husband's tone was a little unnatural when he said this. "How dare you tell me this! I ask you, why didn't you tell me before you went to borrow that micro loan? Don't you know that those are risky?"

Bai Xiaojie was so angry when she heard this that she asked loudly, "Isn't it for this family? I invested in a friend's project two years ago. He said at the time that the prospect was very good and he would definitely make a lot of money. I didn't expect this guy to cheat me and run away with the money. When I find him, I will..." "Come on! What's the point of saying this now!"

Listening to her husband's words on the phone, Bai Xiaojie was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes and she cried, "Okay, I know I was wrong. Come back quickly. Don't you work in a bank? See if you can think of a way to get a loan to cover the money first!"

On the other end of the phone, my husband was obviously anxious, and his voice was a little higher. "What can I do? The money in the bank is not my money! I can't do anything, you can do it yourself!"

Bai Xiaojie was so angry that she was shaking all over and hung up the phone. She turned around and found that Xu Fuhai had stood behind her without her knowing when. "Xu... Mr. Xu, I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself."

Bai Xiaojie's eyes were red. She bowed slightly and said apologetically, "It's okay. Let's eat first and talk after dinner."

Xu Fuhai smiled at her gently. Bai Xiaojie nodded and sat back at the table to eat. But she didn't have the heart to eat now. She drank a bowl of porridge reluctantly. The phone rang again. Seeing that it was her husband calling again, Bai Xiaojie answered the phone even though she was angry. "Hey, why did you hang up? Are you back? Hurry up!"

On the other end of the phone, my husband's voice almost roared, "Okay, I get it. I'll be back right away."

Bai Xiaojie simply said this and hung up the phone. Then she said to Xu Fuhai, "Mr. Xu, I'm really sorry. You know the situation at home. I have to go back and deal with it now."

Hearing her words, Xu Fuhai stretched out his hand and motioned her to sit down, then asked: "How are you going to deal with it?"

Bai Xiaojie sighed and said, "I don't know either. Let's talk to them first and see if they can give me two days. I'll find someone to think of a solution."

In fact, Bai Xiaojie knew that she was just comforting herself. If she could think of a way, she would not let things develop to this point. Her husband used to be a programmer in a large company. At that time, he had a very high income. It was common to earn tens of thousands of yuan a month, and there was a generous bonus at the end of the year. It was precisely because of such a high income that they had the confidence to borrow hundreds of thousands of yuan to buy the current house. Unexpectedly, the economic situation has been bad in the past two years. The large company laid off employees, and her husband lost his job. She was left alone. With a salary of several thousand yuan a month and a mortgage to pay, the family's financial situation suddenly became tense. Now that she has encountered such a thing again, what can she think of? The family and friends around her are also ordinary people. Like her, they have mortgages. Her parents in her hometown are in poor health and have various chronic diseases. It costs a lot of money to treat the disease and take medicine every month. This is the reality that she has to face. The glamorous life on the surface has actually been riddled with holes in secret. Xu Fuhai waved at her, signaling her not to worry, and then took out his phone and called Li Changlin. The phone rang a few times, and as soon as it was connected, Li Changlin's enthusiastic voice rang out. "Hello, Mr. Xu."

Li Changlin greeted Xu Fuhai enthusiastically, like old friends who had not seen each other for many years. "Li Xing, I'm sorry to bother you so early. I have something to trouble you with."

Xu Fuhai smiled and said politely, "Oh, Mr. Xu, you are too polite. Just tell me what you want to say!"

Li Changlin said cheerfully. "It's nothing serious. I just want you to help me find a few people who are familiar with loan business and related legal aspects to help me understand some things."

At this point, Xu Fuhai briefly talked about Bai Xiaojie's family affairs. Of course, details such as Bai Xiaojie staying at his place overnight were skipped. "Oh, Mr. Xu, you see, I didn't know about this beforehand! Bai Xiaojie is an employee of our bank. I didn't expect such a thing to happen in her family. Oh, it's really true."

On the other end of the phone, Li Changlin's voice was full of surprise and regret. Xu Fuhai laughed and continued, "This happened suddenly. I just happened to ask her about some banking matters yesterday, and then I found out about this. After all, she is my service specialist, and she has helped me with a lot of things in the past few days. Now that I know about this, I can't just stand by and watch."

Hearing Xu Fuhai's words, Li Changlin on the other end of the phone became even more enthusiastic. "Mr. Xu is so considerate. Xiaobai is so lucky to have a client like you. Don't worry, Mr. Xu, I will handle this matter myself and guarantee to give you a reply as quickly as possible."

Hearing Li Changlin's words, Xu Fuhai smiled and said a few polite words before hanging up the phone. The phone was on speakerphone, and Bai Xiaojie heard everything that the two had just said. At this moment, she looked at Xu Fuhai with eyes full of gratitude and admiration. She didn't expect that the president, who usually looked majestic, would be so enthusiastic and even a little humble in front of Mr. Xu, which gave her a new understanding of Xu Fuhai's power. "Don't worry now, don't rush back. If they want to close the bank, let them close it. You can't solve any problems if you go back alone at this time. Wait for news here."

Xu Fuhai said with a smile. Hearing his words, Bai Xiaojie nodded, and at the same time, she felt more at ease. Since the president has agreed to come forward, it should not be a big problem. An Xin sat down and accompanied Xu Fuhai to finish the meal, and then sat at home and waited for a while. During this time, Xu Fuhai received a call from the unit. Sister Hui told him that Director Zhou had just contacted him and asked him why he did not come to work. Xu Fuhai simply explained that he was busy with the verification and was working with the bank staff. After a brief explanation, he hung up the phone. "Xiaobai, I don't care about the verification. I'll leave it to you to check. Anyway, I'll sign if you think there is no problem. If there is any problem, I'll find you."

Xu Fuhai said to her half-jokingly, "Mr. Xu, don't worry, I will personally check the materials related to your unit and ensure that there will be no problems!"

Bai Xiaojie promised earnestly. After a few people chatted for a while, Xu Fuhai's phone rang. It was Li Changlin calling. "Mr. Xu, the matter has been basically clarified. The company that Bai Xiaojie's lover Ding Xiaofei borrowed money from has no major problems with the procedures. Although the terms are a bit harsh, Ding Xiaofei has already signed and agreed. I know the boss of their company and have already made arrangements. I can give them a grace period for a while. When it's time to repay the loan, they can just pay back their principal. Do you think this is okay?"

On the other end of the phone, Li Changlin tried to state the key points as briefly as possible. Xu Fuhai nodded, expressing his approval of the plan, and asked for the contact information of the boss of the company. After finding out that the principal amount was 400,000, he asked for the bank card number, then opened the online banking and transferred the money directly. Half a minute later, the other party called and said that the money had been received and the matter was over. He had already asked the debt collector to go back, and said that it was a misunderstanding. If he had known that it was President Li's friend, he would never have done this, and so on. He also wanted to invite Xu Fuhai to dinner. After a few polite words, Xu Fuhai hung up the phone, then smiled and said to Bai Xiaojie: "It's okay, it's been resolved. You should go home and take a look. I'll let Michelle take you home."

Bai Xiaojie, who had seen the whole thing from beginning to end, was once again greatly shocked! What she thought was a big deal was solved with just a few phone calls?
