As night fell, Chen Xiaohe tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
The thought of owing three million yuan made him restless and unable to eat or sleep.
He's old and doesn't have much of a knack for making money; he'll never be able to pay off his debts in his lifetime.
Even if Qian Sanyuan finds something to hold against Lin An this time, he will not forgive Lin An's debts. For the rest of his life, Lin An will be Qian Sanyuan's slave, until one day he will not even be worth being a slave...
When that day comes, he doesn't even dare to imagine what his life will be like.
Instead of doing that, why not make some money, run away quickly, and go to a country with a lower cost of living to enjoy your retirement?
With this thought in mind, Chen Xiaohe immediately opened WeChat and began contacting Zhang Wanru to rekindle their relationship:
"Wanru, are you asleep?"
"No, Xiao He." The reply came instantly.
Zhang Wanru was so excited about enjoying life that she couldn't sleep. So she contacted Hermès and pre-ordered a Togo Birkin bag in pebbled leather; they are currently discussing the additional purchases required.
When she saw Chen Xiaohe's message pop up, her heart fluttered, and she hurriedly asked:
"Xiao He, you're contacting me so late, do you miss me?"
After typing this sentence, Zhang Wanru added a shy blushing emoji and sent it along with the message.
Chen Xiaohe looked at his phone screen with a look of disgust. At his age, still being love-struck won't make anyone think you're cute; they'll just think you're crazy.
He looked down on Zhang Wanru, but he coveted the money in her pocket.
He forced himself to reply, "Of course I miss you, you silly boy."
"Waaah, you were mean to me during the day, hmph!" Zhang Wanru said, sounding like a young girl experiencing her first love.
"Wanru, I'm sorry. My attitude was wrong during the day. It was all my fault."
To match Zhang Wanru's emotions, Chen Xiaohe added a cute expression of kneeling and begging for forgiveness.
Zhang Wanru hugged her phone, nestled in the blankets, and smiled. The fact that the man still cared about her made her feel very happy.
To demonstrate that she was well-rounded and understood the bigger picture, she quickly replied:
"It's okay, I know you're just too busy and tired, I understand."
"Wanru, you are so kind. In this day and age, there are not many good women like you who are well-educated and polite."
Immediately afterwards, Chen Xiaohe said:
"I really did have some problems with business today, and I was really angry, which is why I was in a bad mood and talked to you like that. No matter what, it's all my fault."
Zhang Wanru immediately became alert. Could this guy be on the verge of bankruptcy like Lin Haoran? She quickly asked:
"Is there something wrong with your business?"
"It's not a big problem, it's just that cross-border transfers are quite troublesome. The money I transferred from the United States will take three more days to arrive."
Zhang Wanru breathed a sigh of relief; as long as there was money, that was fine.
"But one of my herbal medicine suppliers insists on payment upon actual sales. Even though I promised him a three-day grace period and offered him an extra 20% of the payment, he refused and claimed he would give the goods to someone else."
"Is this guy stupid? He could earn 20% more in three days, but he just won't take it. I was pushed to my limit by him, which is why I got upset and snapped at you."
Holding her phone, Zhang Wanru's mind raced. A 20% return in three days—wasn't that even better than investing overseas?
At this moment, Chen Xiaohe sent another message:
“His batch of goods is indeed of good quality, and I like it very much. It’s a pity that I only have two million on hand right now, so I can only buy these for now. He said that he will contact other buyers for the rest tomorrow.”
Upon seeing this, Zhang Wanru could no longer contain her excitement and couldn't help but say:
"Xiao He, how about I lend you some money first? You can give me 20% of the profits in three days."
Chen Xiaohe immediately asked, "Wanru, how much money do you have?"
"I don't have much money on hand, about 800,000 yuan that I can use." Zhang Wanru was afraid the other party would think it was too little, so she continued, "Although it's not much money, you can buy a little more, so it's worth it, right?"
"Don't you have tens of millions in investments?" Chen Xiaohe countered.
Zhang Wanru regretted her decision to invest. If she had known there was such a good thing, she would never have bought investment products first. She would have lent money to Chen Xiaohe to make money first, and then bought investment products. The annual profit would have been 50%, which would have been better than any business.
Zhang Wanru sent a crying emoji and said:
"I can't withdraw the overseas wealth management products I bought through a P2P company until the end of the year."
Chen Xiaohe stared at his phone screen, furious, and slammed it onto the bed, cursing:
"You big idiot! You won't be able to withdraw your money from this kind of company by the end of the year."
"There are just too many scammers, and not enough idiots to go around!"
Chen Xiaohe took a minute to accept reality. If it were a legitimate financial management company, he could have tricked Zhang Wanru into giving up the interest and withdrawing the money for him to use. But now, the bulk of the money had already been taken by his cronies, tens of millions gone. All he could get was this 800,000.
New messages about Zhang Wanru keep popping up:
"Xiao He, I'm so sorry, I didn't expect you to need this money. If I had known, I wouldn't have bought any investment products. Waaah!"
"Xiao He, don't worry about it being too little, buy as much as you can."
"Xiao He, what's wrong? Why aren't you answering?"
Chen Xiaohe picked up his phone from the bed and patiently replied:
"Honey, no, I was just thinking, is it wrong for a grown man like me to use a woman's money?"
Zhang Wanru, who was on the other side, covered her mouth and laughed when she saw the message. How could there be such a good man in the world!
If Lin Haoran were in this situation, he would not only force her to give him money, but he wouldn't even say thank you. Chen Xiaohe is different; he would thank her and give her a rebate.
"Xiao He, don't think like that. From now on, we'll be family. There's no need to distinguish between yours and mine. I'm willing to lend you my money."
“Um… I’ve never used a woman’s money before. Let me think about it,” Chen Xiaohe replied.
Zhang Wanru became a little anxious: "Xiao He, don't think so much. If you keep thinking about it, the goods will all be bought by others."
"Please, Xiao He, don't hesitate any longer."
"Please, use my money."
Chen Xiaohe looked at his phone and couldn't help but laugh out loud. The feeling of the other person begging you to scam them out of money was incredibly satisfying.
Chen Xiaohe feigned reluctance: "Alright, just this once, and don't let it happen again!"
Zhang Wanru immediately replied with a well-behaved nod.
Chen Xiaohe said generously, "But I can't give you a 20% rebate. You are the person I love most, the most important woman in the world to me. I want to give you more than others. You give me 800,000, and three days later, I will give you 1.6 million!"
Zhang Wanru was shocked. She could earn twice her money in just three days. Her chest heaved with excitement.
She clutched her chest with one hand and typed excitedly with the other, "Xiao He, thank you!!!"
Chen Xiaohe looked at the string of exclamation marks and could almost feel Zhang Wanru's ecstatic joy. See? He lied to her, and she still has to thank him.
Typing doesn't cost any money. If it weren't for concerns about authenticity, he would have lied to Zhang Wanru and given her ten million.
Chen Xiaohe immediately sent over the bank card number.
Zhang Wanru couldn't wait to transfer her remaining 800,000 yuan.
