Chapter 26 The Debt Collector is Here
After Lu Yiming walked away and Shi Qingxue got in the car, the driver came and closed the door. The beautiful middle-aged woman looked at Shi Qingxue seriously, worried, and her tone naturally became stern: "Xiaoxue, I saw you two talking and laughing, it couldn't be..."
Unlike most countries in the world, early love is prohibited in Xia Country, especially in junior high and high schools, and all kinds of strict prevention and control are carried out. Therefore, Qingxue's mother was very nervous at this time, fearing that the little cabbage she had raised for more than ten years would suddenly be taken away by a black pig spirit from nowhere one day.
Shi Qingxue's strong personality made her unwilling to show weakness: "Mom, what are you thinking? We are just ordinary classmates."
Seeing that Shi Qingxue was unhappy, the middle-aged beautiful woman softened her attitude immediately. She took her daughter's hand and said lovingly, "Okay, okay, mom thought too much. Mom apologizes. But you have to promise mom that you must focus on your studies. You can't fall in love before you graduate from college, okay?"
"oh."
Shi Qingxue turned around and quietly looked at Lu Yiming's receding figure, and responded absent-mindedly.
Seeing this, Xue's mother knew what her precious daughter was thinking, and could only worry secretly: "Girls can't be kept at home when they grow up!"
…
Lu Yiming returned from the school gate and went to the classroom to get his things.
As soon as he entered the classroom, Lu Yiming felt several strange looks.
He looked up and saw that it was Wu Qiuya and others.
Wu Kejun came towards him. When he passed by, he turned his head and snorted with dissatisfaction: "Playboy!"
Although Wu Kejun is the class monitor and is also "attractive and pretty", Lu Yiming doesn't indulge her: "Hey, you should be reasonable. How could I be so unfaithful?"
"You dare not admit it, and you still want to quibble!"
Obviously, in Wu Kejun's opinion, Lu Yiming must have fallen in love with Lin Yuzhen, so he "abandoned" his good friend.
"You are so incomprehensible. Never mind. I am too lazy to argue with you."
Lu Yiming knew very well that he should never quarrel with a woman. If he won, he would lose grace, and if he lost, he would lose face. So he ignored Wu Kejun's provocation, picked up his schoolbag, and waved to Li Quanwang who was still dawdling: "Wangzai, let's go home."
Seeing that Lu Yiming ignored her, Wu Kejun was so angry that she stomped her feet, but she could do nothing but watch Lu Yiming and Li Quanwang leave in a cool manner.
The two walked and talked, Li Quanwang looked resentful: "It's rare that you still remember me."
Before Lu Yiming could speak, Li Quanwang started yelling again: "Let me make it clear first, I have to stay at your house for a few days to avoid the limelight."
Lu Yiming couldn't help but let out a teasing smile. "It's fine to stay for a few days, but this isn't a solution. You can avoid it for a while, but you can't avoid it forever. You still have to face it eventually. Besides, being last in the class isn't a big deal. You're a poor student anyway, so it's only natural that you get beaten. So don't worry too much."
Li Quanwang glared at him unhappily: "Then thank you so much!"
Before, Li Quanwang at least had Lu Yiming as his companion, and he could use Lu Yiming as a shield when he was punished. Now Lu Yiming has become a phoenix, and Li Quanwang knew with a simple thought that he would definitely receive the most severe beating when he returned, and at the same time he would be compared with Lu Yiming, suffering double damage both mentally and physically.
Therefore, Li Quanwang simply went to Lu Yiming's house to avoid the limelight and wait until his parents calmed down. After returning, he could explain that he had learned his lesson, so he stayed overnight at Lu Yiming's house, asked him for tutoring, and asked for learning skills and methods, etc.
My parents are such face-conscious people, they wouldn't rush to Lu Yiming's house and beat me up, right?
Li Quanwang firmly believes this.
The two packed up their things and just arrived at the school gate, Qian Hongli rushed out from the corner, blocked Lu Yiming's way, and said unkindly : "Lu Yiming, return the money!"
Li Quanwang was startled. He took a look at Qian Hongli's social appearance and was surprised and shocked. "Zha Zha Ming, do you owe money to social people? How much do you owe?"
"Not much, only fifteen thousand."
"What? Fifteen thousand!"
Li Quanwang screamed, looking at his friend who had suddenly become a little strange with horror: "How come you owe so much? Did you go gambling or..."
Lu Yiming slapped Li Quanwang on the back of his head, and feeling the strange gazes from the people around him, he said unhappily, "Don't talk nonsense, bastard."
Then, Lu Yiming stood in front of Qian Hongli and greeted him warmly: "Ah, isn't this Boss Qian? It's fate that we met by chance. How about we find a place to sit down and chat slowly? Don't worry, I'm always generous to my friends, and I'll treat you this time as usual."
"Stop talking nonsense, where's my money!"
The last time Qian Hongli came to ask for money, Lu Yiming sent him away with a bag of ice. At that time, the one-month deadline had not yet arrived, and Qian Hongli couldn't force Lu Yiming to pay it back in advance.
Today was the last day of the one-month period, so Qian Hongli was naturally justified, and his long-suppressed dissatisfaction also came out: "Forget about the treat, just return the money to me quickly."
"Oh, I didn't say I wouldn't return it. Look how anxious you are."
Having taken advantage of Bill Gates, and now with a huge sum of US$300,000, Lu Yiming was not in a hurry at all when faced with debt collection. He took Qian Hongli to a grocery store next to the school and said, "Let me make it clear first. The phone bill is yours."
"Okay, I'll give it to you!"
Qian Hongli gritted his teeth and took out his wallet.
The red landline phone was fixed to the table by the boss with wood. The cost was calculated by the minute, which was not cheap at all considering the current price level. Most users would even want to use a stopwatch to time it.
Now that someone offered to pay the bill, Lu Yiming certainly didn't feel bad. He immediately called his cousin Li Yiwen and asked him to bring the money over.
After a while, Li Yiwen took a Jetta taxi and arrived at the school gate in a hurry.
"What's going on? I'm at work."
Li Yiwen was panting, sweat on his forehead, and his expression was quite dissatisfied.
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "It's nothing. Didn't I tell you before that I bought a computer? I haven't paid for it yet. Please help me settle the bill first , and I'll deduct it from that amount later."
All of Lu Yiming's 300,000 US dollars were in Li Yiwen's account. Li Yiwen naturally did not say much. He opened the briefcase he carried with him on the spot. There were always tens of thousands of yuan in cash in it, which was used to deal with various public relations expenses that were not convenient to record in the account books.
"How much?"
"Fifteen thousand."
“…”
Li Yiwen was stunned for a long while, and then he couldn't help but complain: "I really shouldn't have promised you to keep it a secret. At the rate you spend money, how long will this money last you?"
