Chapter 196 Debt
Chi Qi finally chose to enter the modern world that was both most familiar and most unfamiliar to her.
Originally, as long as she contracted enough [Players], she would be able to earn a steady stream of points, and obtaining godhood would only be a matter of time.
But she vaguely felt that the questions about the Lord God System might be answered in this world.
A flash of white light passed by, and when she opened her eyes again, she was already in an empty factory workshop. The mask on her face could not block the pungent smell of engine oil.
From a distance, a furious roar echoed. "Paying back debts is a matter of course! Don't think you can shirk your debts just because someone's dead. Your father owes our company a 50 million yuan loan. How are you going to pay it back?"
Chi Li looked up and found several tall and strong men in suits blocking the door, asking a young girl with a childish face to pay a debt. They even had knives on their waists.
The girl's face was filled with fear, her frail body trembling. She trembled as she said, "You all saw it. The house, car, and company equipment have all been sold to pay off the debt. I really don't have any money left... It's not that I don't want to pay it back."
The debt collector said viciously, "I don't care whether you have money or not. I'm going to take 10 million today!"
They poured in, and some of them walked towards Chi Li with grim smiles on their faces. "Madam Zhou, we're not doing charity. If you can't come up with the money today... don't blame us rough guys for being rough with you and your mother."
Chi Qi's eyes suddenly turned cold, and a sneer appeared under her mask. He wanted to use violence against her. He was really arrogant.
She already knew the plot of this world before she came in, and was not surprised at the current situation.
This world originated from a novel called "Lost on the Path". In the novel, the pure and tough little white flower heroine Shi Nian'an was forced to sign a keeping contract with Qiao Yanzhi, the president of the business overlord Huangtian Technology, in order to pay off her father's debts.
Qiao Yanzhi uses Shi Nian'an as a replacement for his deceased lover Bai Yueguang, unaware that she is the very girl who rushed into a fire to save him ten years ago. As they get along, Shi Nian'an falls in love with him, but at the end of her contract, she learns the truth about her replacement. Heartbroken, she leaves, only to be coerced and bribed by Qiao Yanzhi, who then imprisons her in a castle.
Shi Nian'an tried to escape many times but failed, until the Qiao family's mortal enemy Baiye Technology sent people to sneak into the castle to kidnap her. Qiao Yanzhi was seriously injured while trying to save her, and then she saw his true feelings.
In the end, she was willing to stay in this castle called love and be his only prisoner.
Chi Lan never imagined that her original world was such a brainless novel, and she was just a cannon fodder without even a name.
Thinking about it this way, if she hadn't met Song Yu, wouldn't she have died long ago? Song Yu probably didn't expect that he would be defeated by her. If he wanted to blame someone, he should blame his inferior skills.
Now, she is the one who possesses the main god system.
The only pity is that she cannot replace her own identity and enter this world, and can only play the role of a villain to complete the main task.
This is the restriction imposed on her by the main god system. Perhaps only when she obtains godhood can she truly be omnipotent.
Right now, it is more important to complete the task first.
This time, she plays the heroine's stepmother, Zhou Fanyi. She is vain and has always been interested in the heroine's father's money. She has always been abusive and abusive towards the heroine. Even though she has considerable assets, she still tries to deduct the heroine's living expenses while she is still in college, forcing her to work outside to make ends meet.
The heroine's father, Shi Song, is not a good person either. He ignores the heroine and devotes himself to the company's projects.
Because he was eager to expand and strengthen the business of this basic materials manufacturing company, after receiving confidential information claiming that there had been major discoveries and breakthroughs in quantum computing technology, he could not wait to spend a lot of money to stockpile a batch of basic materials for making quantum bits without even verifying it.
He didn't even wait for the bank's loan approval. In order to get the first bite of the dividend, he resolutely borrowed tens of millions of yuan in high-interest loans and put all his wealth on it.
Shi Song originally thought that he could make a fortune with this opportunity and become the top of the wealth list, but he didn't expect that just as he stocked up on the materials, the laboratory fraud was exposed. Not only did the price of the materials plummet, but they were also listed by the government as extremely harmful waste and garbage that needed to be disposed of harmlessly, and strict rectification was ordered.
The company went bankrupt all of a sudden, and no one wanted the materials that had been stockpiled at exorbitant prices even if they were given away for free. Shi Song was completely dumbfounded.
The loan sharks arrived the fastest. Shi Song, who had always been high and mighty, was subjected to humiliation and abuse. He knelt like a dog and begged for apology, but the loan sharks were unable to let him off for a few days.
Shi Song felt devastated at the thought of spending the rest of his life in poverty and having to live a hard life paying off his debts.
Finally one night, he jumped from the company building.
A loud bang woke up the workers who were sleeping at the company gate and were asking for their wages.
However, the debt is not paid even after death, and the mess is left to Zhou Fanyi, who knows nothing about the business, and Shi Nian'an, an extremely clear-headed college student.
They sold their house, car and equipment, but could only barely pay the workers' wages, which was not enough to pay off their debts.
Now, the creditors have come directly to the company.
Chi Qi narrowed her eyes and looked at the three men in suits walking towards her. She couldn't help but clench her fists. To be honest, she hadn't had a fight for a long time.
Just as she was about to move, a figure suddenly rushed in front of her and pushed the man in the suit hard.
At that time, I thought of An.
Her eyes were red, her body was still shaking, and she almost collapsed and screamed, "Enough! Are you really going to force us to death? My father is already dead... I'm going to borrow money now and pay you back. That's all I need!"
The man in the suit crossed his arms and said sarcastically, "Huh? Didn't you just say you had no money? Now you can borrow some? Fine, I'll wait here."
Chi Qi watched the farce in front of her with an expressionless face. She knew what Shi Nian'an wanted to do.
Sure enough, Shi Nian'an took out his cell phone and made a call.
After only half a minute, the other party picked up the phone. Shi Nian'an bit his lip tightly, his voice hoarse, "Mr. Qiao, does your previous proposal still count?"
After hearing what was said on the other side, Shi Nian'an said, "I want 50 million."
Several debt collectors looked at each other in surprise. They really didn't expect that this girl had such connections that she could borrow 50 million yuan immediately.
Shi Nian'an heard a low voice coming from the phone, "Okay."
This was clearly the answer she wanted, but she wasn't happy at all. Her face was as pale as paper, and her heart felt like it was soaked in ice water, causing a sharp pain.
Because what Qiao Yanzhi proposed to her before was a sponsorship agreement.
Half a year ago, Shi Nian'an participated in the S City Economic Symposium Summit as a volunteer, where he met Qiao Yanzhi, the president of Huangtian Technology, a legendary figure living in the financial headlines.
A week after the seminar, she received a private invitation from Qiao Yanzhi. She thought he truly appreciated her academic talent, but she didn't expect him to have such dirty thoughts and even wanted to support her.
She refused on the spot and slammed the door and left, but she didn't expect that a few months later, she would have to endure the humiliation and go to his door.
But she really had no other choice. Fifty million in debt was a huge sum for her now, one she would never be able to pay off in her lifetime. But for the heir to Huangtian Technology, which monopolized core industries like the internet, electronics, and energy, it was just a drop in the bucket.
If others knew that she had such a good thing, they would definitely think that she was ungrateful. Not only should she not refuse, she should also be grateful.
Shi Nian'an's lips trembled, and just as he was about to speak, the hand holding the phone suddenly softened.
The phone was taken away by Chi Li.
Shi Nian'an hated this stepmother very much and didn't want her to know what she had paid for the 50 million.
She immediately reached out to take the phone back, but the other party quickly raised his arm and pressed the speakerphone button.
Chi Li said coldly to the person on the other end of the phone, "Qiao Yanzhi, you were the one who spread the fake news about the quantum computing breakthrough, weren't you? You were also the one who instigated the loan sharking, right?"
What? Shi Nian'an's pupils trembled.
A sneer rang out from the phone, "Do you know who I am? Is a crappy materials company worth all my trouble?"
Chi Li raised her eyebrows slightly, her voice even colder, "Your goal is not the company, but to get my daughter. For this, you are willing to destroy her family."
The other side fell silent for a moment.
Shi Nian'an immediately understood that Zhou Fanyi had hit the nail on the head.
She trembled all over, her expression distorted. She rushed over, grabbed the phone, and asked harshly, "Why? Why did you do this? Just because I rejected you?"
"Mr. Qiao, I know you are the high and mighty CEO and the heir to the Huangtian Group, but just because you are rich and powerful doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. Ordinary people are not your playthings!"
"Do you know that because of your impulsive behavior, my father jumped off a building and committed suicide, and hundreds of workers lost their jobs? Do you have any conscience?"
Shi Nian'an scolded him, and the anger and pain that he had suppressed over the past few days finally found an outlet to vent.
I thought it was a natural disaster but it turned out to be a man-made disaster. No one would forgive the culprit.
However, the other party was not a pushover either. Qiao Yanzhi did not think that an ordinary person had the right to scold him like this.
His tone was gloomy. "Who do you think you are? How dare you question me here? It seems I'm giving you too much face. I'll let you know right now what happens if you offend me!"
The call was hung up.
Shi Nian'an clenched his phone tightly, his knuckles turning white, his chest heaving violently, his heart filled with rage.
But after the anger, what was left was despair. She still had to face the reality of owing 50 million yuan, and her future life was bleak.
The debt collector looked incredulous, "Was that man just now really Qiao Yanzhi, the prince of Huangtian Technology?"
Although it was Qiao Yanzhi who instructed the loan sharking, these minions did not know the truth.
They only knew that since Shi Nian'an had rejected Prince Qiao, he had no money to pay them back.
He immediately sneered, "You've fallen to this point, why are you still pretending to be so noble? You don't even want 50 million. I would have agreed long ago!"
Shi Nian'an glared at him angrily, "So you're going to sell it now? Waiting for me to introduce you to clients?"
The moneylender was so angry that his face turned blue. He raised his palm as big as a palm fan and slapped her in the face.
“Bang!”
A crisp and powerful slap.
But it was the moneylender who fell.
The fat man, who weighed at least 200 pounds, fell to the ground like a rag doll. His left face swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and blood came from the corner of his mouth.
He spat out his bloody teeth with a "Puh" sound, and was completely stunned.
The force of that slap just now was like a piece of iron hitting his face.
He raised his head with difficulty and met Chi Yan's indifferent gaze. She waved her hands nonchalantly and said, "If you don't want to die, get out of here."
The moneylender's eyes widened. Huh? Are you kidding?
You, a debtor, are threatening him?!
