Chapter 15 Chapter 15 Chapter 15
Gu Ting's eyes turned and her expression quickly changed. She looked a little aggrieved, depressed, and sad. She was so sad that tears welled up in her eyes. She blinked quickly to hold back her tears, then took the phone and walked away from the screen.
However, her suppressed voice still came into the live broadcast room intermittently.
"Brother Chong, Li Xingzhou swindled me out of the 5 million you lent me. I really can't come up with the money this quickly. But I definitely won't default on my debt. I've made some money recently, so I'll give it all to you first. I'll also have some income later, and I'll pay you back as soon as I get the money. Also, I won a house the night before last, and the ownership will be transferred in a few days. I can use it to pay off my debt. I can give you some time to pay the rest, okay?"
Brother Chong sneered: "It's not easy for anyone to borrow money from me. If it's not difficult, would they lend me money? If everyone asks me for some grace period, I will kindly agree. How can I run my business? How are my brothers going to eat? And the house won in the lottery is not worth much? In the end, I still can't pay back the bulk of it, right? Okay, stop talking nonsense, you must pay back the money today, otherwise... hehe..." The threat was very strong.
Gu Ting seemed to be really anxious, scurrying around like a lost ant: "Brother Chong, I've worked very hard to make money, but 5 million is not something that can be earned overnight. You have to give me time! If you really push me into a desperate situation, what good will it do you?"
Brother Chong laughed and said, "You're still so young, it would be a shame if something happened to you. I have a way to help you pay back all the money you owed me."
Gu Ting asked hurriedly: "What method?"
"It can't be explained in a few words, it's better to talk about it in person." Brother Chong pretended to be profound.
Gu Ting seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and burst into laughter: "Okay, okay, then Brother Chong, please come to my company now. I will transfer the money in the account to you first, and the loan contract also needs to be revised. We can discuss the rest slowly."
Brother Chong agreed and agreed to meet at a sausage restaurant a few hundred meters away from the Chenggong building in an hour. Why a sausage restaurant instead of a coffee shop? If you can afford coffee, are you still poor?
Gu Ting calmed down and returned to the livestream, but the comments had already shifted. Some questioned how Gu Ting could have suddenly owed 5 million yuan, asking if he had been involved in some illegal activity, such as gambling. Others suggested that Gu Ting had been suspected of borrowing from loan sharks, a violation of the law, and that the platform should have banned him.
Some people automatically imagined a scumbag man and a slutty woman drama, scolded Gu Ting for being love-brained, and unfollowed her. However, there was a wave of die-hard fans who didn't blame Gu Ting for being incompetent and borrowing so much money, nor did they blame her for not judging people well. Instead, they reminded her that the person who just called her "Chong Ge" must have bad intentions, and that there is no such thing as a free lunch, reminding the anchor to keep his eyes open.
The two netizens who left the most comments were the Fairy Poop and the number one fan of Ms. Gu, the Three Good Citizens. They almost crawled along the Internet cable to hug Gu Ting's legs, telling her not to fall into the tiger's mouth and ruin her face.
The audience was full of weird people and the comments were all kinds of random, but the popularity of the live broadcast room skyrocketed, and a wave of heat came from nowhere.
Gu Ting took a sip of water, smiled weakly, and then forced himself to cheer up. "Don't guess blindly, teachers. I didn't borrow 5 million on my own initiative, and the other party is not a loan shark. Today, the super moderator originally asked me to share with everyone what happened since last night. Now, let me share an unrelated story with everyone..."
Gu Ting had no idea of the specific entanglement between the fake Gu Ting and Li Xingzhou, Chong Ge and others. He could only weave the outline of the story in his mind based on the information he knew and simplify the story. It didn't take long for Gu Ting to explain the story in a few words.
Not surprisingly, the barrage exploded again.
"Lottery God, you are confused!"
"Your agent treats you like his own sister? He's already pushed you into this mess, and you're still saying good things for him? I guarantee it with my foot, this is definitely usury! The interest rate is definitely not low!"
"What a lousy agent! He clearly knows you're broke and haven't been working for long, yet he still takes the initiative to help you borrow money. What's his motive? He's even more evil than the Black Mountain Demon!"
"Can you please think more? What's so attractive about that scumbag that you buy him food, clothes, and luxury goods? You have no sense of vigilance at all, and you even got tricked into signing a loan?"
Gu Ting silently took out his old mobile phone and showed a photo of Li Xingzhou wearing a vest after exercise to everyone.
Gu Ting was laughing to death in her heart: She was going to let Li Xingzhou's face spread like wildfire on the Internet, let everyone know that he was a gigolo and a money-swindler, make him die in the Internet society, and make it difficult for him to take a single step in the future!
Two seconds later, the direction of the barrage changed strangely: "I'm not saying that the scumbag's chest muscles are still quite something... No, the anchor's being deceived is still somewhat excusable."
"Look at this scumbag, wearing a tank top, sweat dripping down to his collarbone without wiping it, and with hooked eyes. Who is he trying to seduce? It's obvious he's restless. Whoever marries a man like him will be in trouble!"
"Fox spirit! Male Daji! Stay away from men with this appearance, or it will bring misfortune!"
"My mom told me: The more handsome a man is, the more likely he is to lie. Turns out it's true. Poor anchor~~~"
"The anchor decisively called the police, which shows she has seen through the scumbag's true face and has completely let go of the relationship. We women never lack the courage to start over. Come on!"
"Personally, I think this anchor is an orphan, without any parental support or guidance. It's remarkable that she managed to get into university through part-time work and avoid taking a wrong path! Who doesn't make mistakes? I hope everyone can be more tolerant and encouraging of this tenacious anchor, and less critical and abusive. Let's encourage each other."
Among the numerous comments, there were some netizens who said they “don’t like to eat” weakly: “Host, are you going to broadcast eating tonight? I’m hungry, eat, eat.”
It quickly disappeared in the torrent of barrage.
Gu Ting was deeply immersed in the feeling of "I'm so fucking miserable". She looked down and saw a message pop up on the green letter. She opened it and saw that the message was from Yan Xiu. There were only a few words: "If you need anything, you can find me."
Gu Ting almost thought of something wrong: "???"
She realized that this Leshan Giant Buddha, Yan, wasn't also watching her livestream. Yan Xiu and her, one kindhearted and charitable, the other a hard-pressed life...wasn't that a perfect match?
Gu Ting quickly replied with a respect emoji, adding: "10 million has been received, thank you for the reward."
Yan Xiu: “…6”
Yan Xiu was embarrassed and Gu Ting almost couldn't hold back her laughter, but when she looked up at the screen, she was stunned. She saw the gift special effects in the live broadcast room coming one after another, like rain from the sky.
Gu Ting quickly sat up straight and said, "Please stop giving me gifts. I really don't need them. The five top-grade weapons I just drew can be resold for 2 million. I can earn a million in one night. Why do I need your tips?"
She felt that she had seriously exceeded her financial limit today. As the saying goes, a tall tree attracts the wind, so she wanted to use the 5 million yuan debt to pretend to be poor so that people wouldn't over-think her wealth. However, this group of netizens who seemed out of touch and were full of nonsense were comforting her, encouraging her, and even silently donating money to support her...
Gu Ting suddenly felt a little sore in his nose.
However, her feeling of being touched did not last long. When Gu Ting reminded everyone that he had just earned one or two million - an eye-catching figure, the sympathy of the netizens disappeared in an instant, and only hatred of the rich remained. Many netizens who had given gifts cried out in regret.
A slave with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan sympathizes with people who earn one or two million yuan in one night. Is he crazy?
I have to say that Gu Ting knows how to attract hatred.
Gu Ting checked the backstage and was surprised to see that in such a short time, fifty or sixty people had given tips. The one who gave the most was Chang Huang, who gave 10,000. Another person whose name was a bunch of letters gave 50,000. The little fairy who pooped was also on the list, who gave 500... All in all, it was a lot.
Gu Ting felt bad. He had been playing the victim purely for the sake of it, not to ask for rewards. He gritted his teeth and said, "To those who just gave me gifts, I appreciate your kindness, but I'm not at the end of my rope yet. I will return your gifts within 24 hours. Please pay attention to the payment information."
Seeing that an hour was almost over and Wan He and Manager Wang were not there, Gu Ting was like a student without a teacher. Gu Ting whispered good night to his fans, ended the live broadcast, and then tiptoed out of the company.
Just as he left the company, an unfamiliar phone call came in. Gu Ting looked at the road and asked casually, "Who is this?"
The other party was silent for a few seconds, then spoke in a hoarse voice: "I'll give you one more chance. It's not too late to beg me now..."
It took Gu Ting a while to realize that the other person was Lin Yi. He was speechless and angry for a moment. Why was he still haunting him even though Green Message had blocked him? He was like a dog-skin plaster, annoying him.
"Lin Yi, I'll say this one last time, get as far away from me as possible! Go online and take a look at what happened to the people who kidnapped me. I suggest you take this as a lesson." After saying that, he hung up the phone and blocked the phone number.
There is a barbecue restaurant not far from the company. Gu Ting ordered a grilled sausage and sat in the restaurant to eat. Halfway through the meal, a burly bald man with a thick gold necklace came to the door. When he came closer, the first thing Gu Ting noticed was the scar on his face that went from the right cheek through his right ear. There was a fierceness in his eyes, and he looked like someone who was not to be messed with.
Gu Ting guessed that he was Brother Chong, so he waved with a smile: "Brother Chong, here."
The bald man sat down opposite her and looked Gu Ting up and down with his eyes, impudently and flirtatiously: "Miss Gu, I haven't seen you for three months. You have become more beautiful, and even your temperament is different."
Gu Ting didn't respond. She came here to pay back the money, not to be scrutinized. So she got straight to the point and said, "It's getting late. Let's get down to business first. Did you bring the contract? I need to take a look first."
Brother Chong frowned and smiled nonchalantly, "Why is Miss Gu in such a hurry? Does she have an appointment?"
Gu Ting stared at him with a half-smile and said, "It seems that Brother Chong is not in a hurry to use the money. Let's talk about it next time." As he said that, he stood up and made a gesture to leave.
Brother Chong frowned even deeper. He didn't understand why the woman in front of him had two faces. She was pitiful and weak when she called tonight, but now when they met, her attitude was cold and hard. How could she look like someone facing a creditor?
Seeing Gu Ting about to leave, Chong Ge thought of the purpose of his visit and had to restrain his frivolous attitude. He said, "I was just worried that you were nervous, so I exchanged a few words with you. Why are you leaving? Didn't you want to see the contract? I'll show it to you now."
Gu Ting sat down again, took the contract and began to read it. It took her quite a while to finish reading the contract. Her expression was not very good. It turned out that usury was indeed usury. In just three months, the interest was as high as 500,000!
If she were still the Gu Ting she was a year ago, she would definitely not be able to pay back the money. When the interest compounded, this debt would be like a black hole, madly devouring everything she had: time, money, energy, happiness, hope, and even her entire life...
There are only two possible outcomes for her: one is death, and the other is endless degradation, decay, and suffering until death.
No matter which path she chooses, her life is destined to be bumpy, difficult and painful, just like a small worm stuck in the mud. The ending is already determined, but it itself is unaware of it and is still struggling ridiculously.
Thinking of all this, Gu Ting broke out in a cold sweat.
She had only been away for a short year, so why had her fate almost been ruined?
