These debt collectors followed me to the bank.
After withdrawing the money, I readily took out one hundred thousand and handed it over to them.
Alas, the original 150,000 yuan suddenly shrunk to one-third. It would be a lie to say that I don't feel distressed.
"Boss Shen, we have just contacted our boss. Since you have intervened, the price is 3.85 million. We will not increase the price. If you remove this 100,000, there will still be 3.75 million."
The debt collector counted the money, made a phone call, and walked up to me.
"It could not be better."
I nodded slightly and had some doubts in my heart.
Why does Chen Cheng owe so much money?
Walking back from the bank, I had more and more questions in my mind.
When I returned to Chen Cheng's residence, I knocked on the door.
"it's me!"
There was no response from the door. It wasn't until I spoke that she opened the door slowly.
"sorry……"
Chen Cheng lowered his head, opened the door, and brought me in, "They left?"
As she said this, she looked around at the door.
"Well, take the money and leave."
I said, looking at Chen Cheng and her house.
The whole house was smashed, and there wasn't even a place to sit down.
Chen Cheng, on the other hand, had scars all over his body. Wherever he was exposed, I could see obvious bruises.
"Go to the hospital."
I said, "You can't do this..."
"sit."
Chen Cheng ignored me, just cleared a space beside the sofa and spoke in a low voice.
"Why don't you run?"
"Where did you get the money?"
Chen Cheng poured me some water and asked while sitting on the sofa.
I looked at Chen Cheng carefully, and her eyes were full of doubts.
It seemed like she had more questions than I wanted to ask.
"You were approached by debt collectors, why should I run away?"
"It's like, I was broke two days ago, why did you bring me in?"
I said with a slight smile, "As for the money... I just made it. I wanted to find you."
“What kind of job can earn so much?”
I could tell from Chen Cheng's eyes that she was calculating, if one hundred thousand a day, wouldn't she be able to pay off the debt in one year?
"Just think of it as a lottery ticket."
I said and smiled easily, but I could see the embarrassment on her face.
"I'm like this...you still want to help me?"
She asked, as if she didn't believe there was someone as stupid as me in the world.
Indeed, from the current perspective, those who keep their word and repay kindness are the biggest fools in the world.
"Just treat it as the rules of our sect."
"Everything can only be done if a master shows you the way."
I joked, "I made some money today and wanted to have a meal with you."
"I'm sorry...all the money you just earned was lost..."
Chen Cheng shook his head slightly, trying his best to believe that what I said was true, and slowly apologized.
"Why don't you change your clothes?"
I saw Chen Cheng's bruises and couldn't help but touch them, "I'll take you to have something to eat."
But the next second, Chen Cheng's vision was wrong.
There seemed to be a thin film in her eyes, and then I noticed they were tears.
Tears were welling up in my eyes and I couldn't shed them at all.
"I'm going to change clothes."
Chen Cheng said, wiping his eyes and turning back to the room inside.
After sitting on the sofa for a while, Chen Cheng changed into long clothes and trousers to cover most of the scars and walked out.
"Stay here with me today."
I said thoughtfully.
"Um."
Chen Cheng's voice was very low and he nodded slightly.
After going out, I took Chen Cheng straight to the hot pot restaurant downstairs in Xintiandi.
The restaurants here in Xintiandi are doing very well. If you don’t have a reservation, you can only wait at the door.
At this time, I saw an old man in Chinese tunic clothes walking over with a few young people.
"Do you have a reservation, sir?"
The waiter walked towards the old man in Mao suit very respectfully.
"Yes, phone..."
The old man in Mao suit was about to call, but he saw me sitting on the edge waiting.
"Little brother, what a coincidence? Taking your girlfriend out to eat hot pot?"
The old man in Mao suit raised his hand to ask the waiter to wait, and then came over.
I nodded slightly, but saw him sitting on the other side of me.
"Little brother, I haven't thanked you today."
"That thing was dated, and it's exactly the same as you said."
He smiled and said, "I know you don't want to be favored by others, but if I don't thank you, I can't justify it."
As he said this, he patted my shoulder and looked at the waiter, "Add two more seats and this little brother will join us."
As he said that, he looked at me and said, "Just treat me as a treat. If I don't thank you, I really can't bear to treat you to a meal, and I won't break your family rules, right?"
I took a look at my ticket. There were ten tables ahead of me. If I kept waiting, it would probably take another two or three hours.
"Thank you very much."
I nodded and slowly stood up with Chen Cheng.
When Chen Cheng saw the old man in Chinese tunic suit, he acted a little reserved.
Just like that, I had a hot pot meal.
"Little brother, I still don't know what to call you."
In the box, the old man in Mao suit asked with a smile, "Jianguo is considered a small boss next week. I usually like antiques and just look at them when I have time."
"Shen Fan."
I raised my hand and said, "I'm not a professional, just for fun."
I smiled as I said that, "It's almost like a lottery ticket player."
"Hahahaha, what a lottery ticket."
Zhou Jianguo laughed as he spoke.
As we chatted during the dinner, I roughly got an idea of Zhou Jianguo’s background.
He is the owner of a company under Uncle Seven, and he usually does some shipping business.
The two young men he brought with him were both young and promising, and had been promoted to small management positions in the ship.
"Brother Shen, when I came here, I collected a coin from the carpet. Why don't you take a look at it for me?"
Zhou Jianguo said and took out an ancient coin from his arms.
This ancient coin has a very strange shape. It is not an ordinary copper coin with a square hole, but it does not look like a knife coin from the Pre-Qin period.
"Mr. Zhou, this should be a handicraft. How can it be so exquisite?"
His subordinate said, "But I don't understand either. Please give me some advice from Brother Shen."
I picked up this ancient coin and looked at it carefully.
This coin is very much like the prototype of today's key. There was only one era where such a thing existed!
"How much did Mr. Zhou get this coin?"
I asked.
"It's not expensive, it only cost three thousand."
Zhou Jianguo said with a smile, "That man was in a hurry for money, so he set up a stall at Fumin Flower and Bird. He said it was an ancestral dish sold at a low price."
"Yes, at that time he said he only needed one thousand. Master Zhou saw that he was in difficulty and gave him three thousand."
Zhou Jianguo's younger brother reminded.
"Three thousand,...that's the number."
I said and compared a number on Zhou Jianguo's palm.
"ah?"
Zhou Jianguo was shocked.
"Because this one has been restored and is relatively well preserved."
I explained.
Just now, I compared him with 300,000 yuan!
"What the hell is this?"
Zhou Jianguo's face was full of doubts, "Can it be doubled so many times?"
As he said this, his two men also widened their eyes and became curious.
