Chapter 65 I Want to Borrow Some Money from You
It was almost noon when Zhang Shuai woke up. He took out his cell phone from under his pillow to check the time and found that Lin Zhou had called him more than a dozen times.
"What's wrong, Lin Zhou?" Zhang Shuai replied.
"Is the matter settled?"
"Well... that's about right!" Zhang Shuai wanted to talk about the money, but then he changed his mind and decided to forget it. It would be useless for him to ask Lin Zhou for money.
"I guess he wants to use Tian Xin to threaten you and ask you for money!" Lin Zhou said.
"You...you figured it out?" Zhang Shuai was a little annoyed. Everyone could see through the mess in his family at a glance, but he was fooled around by that scoundrel like a fool!
"How much does it cost?" Lin Zhou asked.
"Don't worry about it, it's my business!"
"Zhang Shuai, this is your family matter, and I'm not going to ask too much. But have you ever considered that if he can threaten you with Tian Xin once, he will threaten you a second time, or even a third time?"
"...I thought, besides beating this scoundrel to death, I don't know how else to get rid of him?"
"Go find Lin Hai, he has a solution! Remember, protect Tian Xin!"
While the two were chatting, Master Li came to bring water to Zhang Shuai.
"Are you awake? Tian Xin brought you some food. I'll go heat it up for you!"
"Food? Sent by the boss? Where is she?" Zhang Shuai asked.
"Tian Xin...cook for you?" Lin Zhou heard the conversation between the two on the phone.
"She was chatting with the factory manager at that time. I wonder if she has left now?" said Master Li.
"I won't talk to you anymore! Hang up...beep beep!" Zhang Shuai hung up the phone, quickly got up, put on his clothes, and went straight to Li Baiwan's office without even washing his face.
"Deliver food?" Lin Zhou put down his phone, feeling a little disappointed.
Has their relationship reached the point where Tian Xin is willing to cook for Zhang Shuai?
Alas... Lin Zhou sighed irritably!
If we continue like this, what chance of winning is there?
Tian Xin doesn't even want to see him now, but turns around and cooks for Zhang Shuai?
Zhang Shuai said they are relatives, that’s nonsense!
Lin Zhou felt as powerless as if his fist was hitting cotton. He picked up his phone in frustration and hesitated for a long time, but he still didn't have the courage to call Tian Xin.
Forget it! As long as I can protect her and keep her from getting hurt and see that everything is fine with her, that's enough! I don't expect anything else!
As long as she is well!
Thinking of this, Lin Zhou picked up his phone and quickly dialed another number.
"Talk to Zhang Shuai and follow him if necessary!"
"Since he can wander around in a place like this, he must be very difficult to deal with!"
"Okay. And please do me one more thing!"
When Zhang Shuai ran to Li Baiwan's office, Tian Xin had already gone back!
Master Li heated up the food that Tian Xin brought for him!
"Braised pork!"
"Yes, Tian Xin's cooking skills are very good. As for that dish, she said she marinated it herself, and it tastes very refreshing with the meat!" said Master Li.
Tian Xin brought rice and three dishes.
One was braised pork, one was hot and sour cabbage, and the other was pickled vegetables she made.
Zhang Shuai looked at the bowl of rice and didn't pick up his chopsticks for a long time!
He felt sorry for Tian Xin. She was always so nice to him, finding him a job, buying him clothes, and even bringing him meals today!
But what else can he do except bring trouble to her?
Now he is being targeted by his scoundrel father and his personal safety cannot be guaranteed. How can he have the nerve to eat the food cooked by the boss!
"Why don't you eat? It's cold and the food gets cold quickly. Eat quickly!" Master Li saw that he was in a daze and reminded him.
"Oh!" Zhang Shuai came back to his senses, looked at the full bowl of rice, and swallowed it along with his tears!
The money issue hasn't been resolved yet, so that scoundrel will definitely be difficult to deal with today!
Zhang Shuai thought about it all night, but still had no idea where to go or who to borrow the money from!
Five thousand yuan may not be a lot for others, but he gave most of his salary in the past few months to that scoundrel and didn't save a penny.
He picked up his phone and looked through the address book. After flipping through it twice, he finally saw someone he could borrow money from.
After hesitating for a while, he still dialed the number.
"Hello, Liu Xin! I'm Zhang Shuai!"
"Oh, it's Big Brother! It's been so long since we last contacted. What have you been busy with lately?"
"Just hanging around! How are you? Is everything okay at the factory?"
"Very good, very good. I'm having dinner with my friends now. Is there anything I can do for you, brother?"
"Oh, then you're busy. It's okay, it's okay! We just haven't seen each other for a while, so we wanted to chat!"
"Oh, sure! Let's meet up sometime later. I have two bottles of good wine here, specially reserved for you!"
"Oh, okay, bye then!"
It's not appropriate to ask someone to borrow money at the dinner table! Moreover, it's been so long, whether Liu Xin can remember him or not is another matter.
What should I do?
Who else!
Zhang Shuai put his hands into his hair and rubbed it in frustration. A penny can make a hero fall!
He was just worrying when the phone rang again!
I picked it up and saw that it was Liu Xin again. How come she was back again?
"Hello!"
"Brother, do you have something to talk to me about?" Liu Xin asked.
"No, no, just go ahead and do your thing!"
"Brother, stop pretending. We haven't contacted each other for so long, I'm sure you've almost forgotten me. You wouldn't call me unless there was something you had to say!"
"What are you talking about?"
Zhang Shuai felt the embarrassment of being seen through! So embarrassed that she could only use rebuttal to cover up the fact!
"Go ahead, big brother, there's no one around right now!"
"Brother, you..."
"It's okay, just tell me! The fact that you can come to me means I can do it. As long as I can do it, just give me a word!"
"Uh... Actually, this is not a big deal. I just want to..." Zhang Shuai was unable to say it!
"No, brother, why are you being so effeminate? Just say it directly! What's there to be embarrassed about?"
"Okay, then I'll be frank! I want to borrow some money from you!"
"Borrow money? How much?"
"Five thousand!"
"Okay, send me your account number and I'll call you later!"
"I...may have to return it to you in three months!"
"It's okay, big brother, you can use it, there's no rush to return it!"
"Then...thank you!"
"Well, you're still being polite to me!"
"Some other day, when I go to the ancient city, I'll treat you to a meal! Let's have a good chat!"
"Okay, big brother, you go ahead and do your work. If you don't have enough money, just tell me at any time. I don't have anything else, but I still have some small changes!"
“Okay, thanks brother! Bye!”
Zhang Shuai didn't expect Liu Xin to be so considerate! He asked for money without even asking, but asked for his account number directly!
Yes, this amount of money is probably just enough for someone’s meal!
Zhang Shuai sighed, the problem was finally solved!
A random brother who had nothing to do with him could lend him money without hesitation, but his own biological father threatened and forced him!
Lin Zhou was right. If he could use Tian Xin to threaten him once, he would do it a second time and a third time. It seemed that he couldn't just give him the money directly. He had to find a way to get him away, away from here, so that he couldn't contact Tian Xin again!
