Chapter 369
The tea ceremony teacher is more of a Buddhist practitioner and had a good relationship with Shao Qinghe, which made it convenient for them to gather here after lunch.
Xu Xinduo didn’t want to bring Tong Yan here, but he looked like he had done something wrong. His eyes wandered and he didn’t dare to look at Xu Xinduo, even though he followed after her every step of the way.
He feared that Xu Xinduo would make changes to the plan. If he wasn’t there, he wouldn’t be able to respond adequately either. He also knew that Xu Xinduo would definitely be unhappy.
It would be the wisest move to admit his mistake as soon as he got the chance.
Xu Xinduo and Mu Qingyi also sat in the small space, but Tong Yan didn’t participate. He sat in the area of the class not far away from the two as he looked down at a tea cup. He reached out to touch it tentatively to see if it was hot.
Then, Tong Yan leaned over to study the equipment to make some hot tea. Obviously, he didn’t know anything about the tea ceremony, but he just wanted to drink something.
Xu Xinduo looked at Tong Yan for a while before asking Mu Qingyi, “What’s the situation at home now?”
“Father has been preparing for a project some time ago and has already made part of the initial investment. Uncle Shen cut their friendship ties off with father, causing the supply chain to break. The materials that he purchased in the early stages have been processed halfway and they cannot be returned or processed. With that, it’s just a lump in our hands.”
“Will he go bankrupt?” Xu Xinduo didn’t know much about this, but she felt like it would be too soon for him to fall into bankruptcy just like that.
“The family’s business has already become a very fragile shell and it can’t make ends meet. In recent years, there has been a serious crisis. Father is eager to complete this business this time because he also wants to work hard to ease the company’s financial situations. Some improvements have been made to improve the scene. However, there have been accidents, so the initial investment cannot be recovered. Now that the supply chain is interrupted, the capital turnover is insufficient, so we can’t do anything but bear the loss of the previous payment. “
Xu Xinduo lowered her head slightly and asked in a heavy tone after a long time, “Have you told mom?”
“Not yet, but I guess mom’s friends will tell her; I can’t hide this kind of thing from her. Though it seems that mom has not gone back to help him.”
“She’s not going back because she wants to leave half of her funds to support you… Oh, wait, we’re still going to school. She probably wants to show us that she can handle herself, but I guess she’s struggling too?”
“Father will definitely be in debt. Now that the company is on thin ice, many friends are reluctant to lend a helping hand. He has been selling houses and cars to pay off debts recently.”
Xu Xinduo tugged at the collar of the school uniform. She was wearing a sportswear jacket at this time and the zipper was pulled to the top to bury her chin within the warmth of the clothes.
She lowered her head and thought for a while and said, “I recently received an endorsement and the endorsement fee is quite a lot. I will be able to get a part of the fee next month. I will give you the money, so take it to help out. When I first came back, the family also gave me money and also paid my grandmother’s fees for the nursing home, so consider it a debt repayment.”
Mu Qingyi also looked at Xu Xinduo with a slightly surprised expression before he turned to look at Tong Yan.
After hesitating for a while, he asked, “Tong Yan didn’t tell you?”
