Gu Qingqing said with a wry smile, "Let's not talk about him for now, I'm going out for a bit."
After saying that, Gu Qingqing picked up her two-year-old domestically produced phone and quickly walked out of the dormitory.
Regardless of who the person who just made the call was or what their purpose was.
But since the person said they could help her out of her predicament, she decided to give it a try.
Gu Qingqing is now in a state of utter panic, like an ant on a hot pan.
According to the system introduction, Shen Lang had already met Gu Qingqing twice.
However, Gu Qingqing did not look as beautiful as in the system's introductory image. Instead, she looked haggard and lost.
Shen Lang waved and smiled, "Hello, classmate Gu."
"Was it the phone call you just made to me?" Gu Qingqing asked cautiously.
Shen Lang nodded and said, "It's me."
"Can you help me?" Gu Qingqing asked.
"Can."
"Then what do I need to do for you?" Gu Qingqing asked, her heart pounding, as she looked at the man in front of her who was countless times more handsome than Lin Chen.
Shen Lang laughed and said, "I'll give you five million to buy your painting talent."
"What?" Gu Qingqing was greatly shocked upon hearing this.
"Sell?" Shen Lang asked.
Gu Qingqing suddenly remembered a TV series she watched when she was a child, and she broke out in a cold sweat.
"You...you..." She looked at Shen Lang, speechless.
Shen Lang laughed and said, "Gu, don't worry, we won't have any contact after this. I just admired your talent for painting. You don't need to think of me as something terrible. I'm just a businessman, providing what you need and taking what I need. I won't force you if you don't want to."
While Gu Qingqing was still in shock, Shen Lang walked up to her, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "But you can think about it. If your relatives and friends find out about your online loans, what will happen to you? How will they see you, the pride in their eyes?"
“Your younger brother is about to enter his senior year of high school. I don’t think you would want this to affect his future.”
Shen Lang's words formed vivid images in Gu Qingqing's mind.
"Gu Qingqing, what exactly did you do? What did you do with all that borrowed money?"
"Qingqing, tell your mother what you borrowed the money for."
"Look, this is my high-achieving cousin. She borrowed more than 10,000 yuan in online loans after entering university."
"Brother-in-law, do you guys not give Qingqing any pocket money? How could you let Qingqing take out an online loan?"
"………………"
"No!" Gu Qingqing suddenly screamed, the images in her mind shattering instantly.
"So, are you willing to make a deal with me?" Shen Lang asked.
Gu Qingqing nodded: "Yes, I'm willing. I'll do anything as long as you can save me."
She was terrified—terrified of the disappointment in her parents' eyes, terrified of the disdain in the eyes of her relatives and friends, terrified that her parents would be ashamed because of her.
At this moment, only the man in front of her could save her.
"Young Master is becoming more and more terrifying." Shuang'er looked at him with a hint of awe.
She had rarely witnessed Shen Lang's transactions, so she was somewhat afraid of his methods.
Dongxue, on the other hand, often followed Shen Lang around, and she had become accustomed to it.
Then Shen Lang handed the contract to Gu Qingqing and said, "Just press your fingerprint where your name is."
Gu Qingqing didn't care about anything else at this point. She didn't even read the contents of the contract carefully before pressing her fingerprint on the document after finding her name.
After taking back the contract, Shen Lang grinned happily and said, "Let me check your phone messages."
Gu Qingqing obediently took out her phone.
The moment she took out her phone, the little elf had already transferred 5 million RMB to her bank account.
"5 million?" Gu Qingqing stared at the .00 number on the bank card, her eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
She was in shock and hadn't heard Shen Lang mention that the amount was 5 million.
Shen Lang patted her shoulder and smiled, "The money has been given to you, and part of the predicament has been resolved. How you live the rest of your life is up to you."
"But before that, I want to show you something."
"What are you going to show me?" Gu Qingqing felt a sense of awe and fear towards Shen Lang at this moment.
The moment she saw the 5 million yuan arrive in her account, she immediately began to sketch the picture she wanted in her mind.
But then I realized I couldn't remember anything.
This also proves that Shen Lang used the five million in his bank account to buy his own painting talent.
Talent is something a person is born with, but this man can take it away so easily, which is nothing short of terrifying.
"Come with me." Shen Lang smiled slightly.
He then led Gu Qingqing out of the park and rode in the Apollo Sun God.
After a roar of the accelerator, it stopped in front of a Starbucks less than three kilometers away.
Shen Lang opened the car door and led Gu Qingqing inside.
"Why did you bring me here?" Gu Qingqing asked, looking puzzled.
Shen Lang didn't speak, but pointed to a spot in the corner.
Gu Qingqing glanced over and saw her face, which had been flushed after being freed from her predicament, turn deathly pale in an instant.
"How could this be... how could this be..."
What came into view was her boyfriend, Lin Chen, whom she longed for and who kept her up at night.
Sitting next to Lin Chen was a woman dressed in a particularly beautiful manner.
Gu Qingqing recognized the woman; she was Sun Tiantian, a fellow beauty in the Fine Arts Department of USTC.
Meanwhile, Lin Chen and Sun Tiantian, who had previously had no connection, were now sitting intimately in the restaurant, enjoying an expensive lunch.
Lin Chen kept pressing his face against Sun Tiantian's fair neck.
"Impossible, Lin Chen isn't that kind of person... Impossible..." Gu Qingqing shook her head in disbelief, rushed out of the restaurant, and her sad tears drifted into the air.
Shen Lang watched Gu Qingqing's departing figure and sighed softly. Then he turned and left as well.
Gu Qingqing ran all the way home and lay on her bed crying for the entire afternoon.
As evening approached, she picked up her phone and tentatively sent Lin Chen a message.
Gu Qingqing: What are you doing today?
She longed for Lin Chen to tell her the truth and explain his relationship with Sun Tiantian.
However, what he received in return was Lin Chen's reply of three words: Let's break up.
"Why?" Gu Qingqing looked at these three words, and although she had expected it, she was still unwilling.
Since starting her relationship with Lin Chen, Gu Qingqing has been giving him her living expenses in order to maintain his image in front of her roommates and classmates. She also spends her spare time drawing portraits of passersby on the street or at tourist attractions, and gives seven or eight out of ten of the money she earns to her boyfriend.
However, what he received in return was Lin Chen's ruthless betrayal and abandonment when he was down on his luck.
This was something she couldn't accept for a while.
