Chapter 70 Fees
“But I can’t ask anymore, I can’t pay it back! There are still high costs for post-operative recovery and treatment, and we need to stay in Shanghai long-term. You should know that even if I’m number one in sales every month, it’s only enough to cover rent, treatment costs, and living expenses, barely enough for my family to survive here! We can’t afford any setbacks during this time, otherwise our income and expenses will be broken instantly. So I can’t repay the loan. I don’t know what to do with the 100,000 yuan I borrowed before!” Wang Manni’s words came from the bottom of her heart, and tears streamed down her face as she spoke.
Zhong Xiaoqin is the most compassionate and can't bear to see others sad. "Manni, don't be sad. It's just 100,000 yuan. I'll decide that you don't have to pay it... I'll decide that you only have to pay 80,000 yuan. But I can go back and discuss it with my husband to see if we can directly waive the 100,000 yuan! Don't worry."
"Thank you, Xiaoqin, but even if you get Professor Chen to agree not to repay the loan, I still won't agree. I really don't want to be in debt! Besides, my mother's illness is not a small amount of money; it requires a large sum of money."
“Yes, we still need 500,000! I really don’t dare to lend you that much money! How about I ask Gu Gu if she has any emergency funds available?” Zhong Xiaoqin’s social circle is pitifully small, a common problem for both homebodies and socially anxious women.
“I haven’t been in touch with President Gu for a long time. But President Gu bought a tea factory before, and sold the dessert shop because he didn’t have enough funds to buy the tea factory. It hasn’t been that long. I think President Gu may need some time to recoup his costs.” Wang Manni analyzed Gu Jia’s situation.
Zhong Xiaoqin slapped her forehead. "I forgot. Gu Gu got divorced. Xu Huanshan, her husband, cheated on her. She can't even take care of herself these days. It's better not to contact her."
"Ms. Gu must be very sad! I'll try to visit her when I have the chance." Wang Manni hadn't expected Gu Jia to get divorced. They didn't keep in touch much, and news of each other wasn't shared so quickly.
Then, the two fell silent. Zhong Xiaoqin was thinking about how to help Wang Manni, while Wang Manni was thinking about how to get through to Zhong Xiaoqin.
After a long silence, Wang Manni finally mustered up her courage and said to Zhong Xiaoqin, "Xiaoqin, actually I came here today to ask you for help. I need you to help me find a wealthy man who wants to keep a mistress. There is only one requirement: his wife must agree to him keeping a mistress."
"A mistress? What mistress?" Zhong Xiaoqin didn't understand what "mistress" meant at first, then it suddenly dawned on her. "You want to be a mistress? Why? Just for this little bit of money?"
“Xiaoqin, you’re rich. You don’t understand the suffering of us poor folks. It’s already hard enough for us to live, but if God puts any more pressure on us, we’ll collapse very quickly! It’s not that I want to be a mistress, but being a mistress is a quick way to make money. When I can’t support my family by selling my abilities, I have no choice but to sell something else! You may not know, but I’ve already announced online that I can sell my kidney to treat my mother’s illness! But even if I can sell it, it won’t be enough for the treatment. I’m still short more than 200,000 yuan!” Wang Manni was telling the truth about selling her kidney and wasn’t afraid of being investigated.
Zhong Xiaoqin felt sorry for Wang Manni, "Is there really no other way? Is this really the only option? But this is so unfair to you!"
Wang Manni curled her lips slightly and sneered, "In this world, what is there such a thing as absolute fairness? Xiaoqin, do you have anyone you can introduce me to? I've already decided that if I can't find a suitable one, I'll go to Hong Kong to find Liang Zhengxian. I just don't know how much he's willing to pay, or if it'll be enough for the surgery!"
“I don’t know anyone like that! I know very few people, and I know nothing about their family situation. I probably can’t help you with this. Maybe I’m too old… my husband…” Zhong Xiaoqin suddenly fell into deep thought. Recently, she had started to feel powerless again. Although she was teamed up with Wang Wenwen, she still couldn’t match Chen Yu’s stamina. Since returning from the special training ground, Chen Yu had started to intensify his training, and his performance in that area had increased again. It seemed like it had been almost two weeks, with him working non-stop every day. Wang Wenwen and Zhong Xiaoqin were both exhausted every day. If they didn’t stop it, the situation would be unimaginable! There were only two options in front of them. One was to let Chen Yu endure it and let him do whatever he wanted! The second was to increase their own strength. Increasing the strength of one of the team members was one option, and increasing the number of teammates was another!
Moreover, Wang Manni's situation is special; she urgently needs money. If she can't raise the money, Wang Manni might go astray. Zhong Xiaoqin thinks that even if someone is willing to keep a mistress, they wouldn't come up with so much money all at once! Although Wang Manni is quite pretty, she's just so-so. She doesn't have a stunningly beautiful face or a seductive charm that could bring ruin to the world. Zhong Xiaoqin doesn't believe that anyone would readily hand over 500,000 yuan for a slightly pretty stranger.
Zhong Xiaoqin felt that thinking was a bit tiring, so she decided to call for help! "Manni, don't worry, I'll call Wenwen over right now. She's a very resourceful person, maybe she can come up with a solution?"
After Zhong Xiaoqin finished speaking, she called Wang Wenwen, gave her the address, and told her that she must come over.
Wang Wenwen arrived quickly, and Zhong Xiaoqin leaned close and whispered the situation to her. Wang Wenwen's mind raced, and in a few breaths she understood their thoughts. Although their reasons differed, the final result was the same: both hoped that the three of them would become Chen Yu's other half at the same time, meaning that each of them would be a small part of Chen Yu's other half.
The pressure is now on Wang Wenwen. Wang Wenwen knows Wang Manni's character; while not exactly bad, she's not exactly good either. However, Wang Wenwen is now a mature entrepreneur. She doesn't judge people or situations based on temporary good or bad; what matters most is that things are developing in a more favorable direction! Furthermore, Wang Wenwen is different from Zhong Xiaoqin. As a newcomer, Wang Wenwen is somewhat insecure and doesn't speak with the same confidence as Zhong Xiaoqin. In Wang Wenwen's view, Zhong Xiaoqin has already agreed to this!
Zhong Xiaoqin hesitated; she didn't agree as Wang Wenwen had assumed. After all, it meant giving away another portion of her husband's love, and even though his love was overflowing, she was still a little reluctant!
Looking at Wang Manni's pale face and expectant eyes, and considering Wang Manni's family situation and usual way of doing things, Wang Wenwen finally decided that this matter could be discussed.
"Manni, is your idea of becoming a mistress mature? Have you thought about the consequences?" Wang Wenwen looked into Wang Manni's eyes, wanting to see if her expression would change when she answered.
Wang Manni looked at Wang Wenwen with certainty, "I've thought about this for a long time, and I've figured it out. I've anticipated all sorts of situations. As long as my mother's surgical needs can be met, I can make some concessions."
"What do you think of my husband?" Wang Wenwen then asked.
Wang Manni didn't expect Wang Wenwen to ask so directly, and replied somewhat shyly, "Professor Chen is a very nice person!"
"Would you be willing to be his mistress?"
Zhong Xiaoqin's eyes widened again. This Wang Wenwen was too bold; she dared to ask anything!
Although Wang Manni was also somewhat surprised, expressing her feelings was more important. "I'm willing! I don't need anything, I don't need to get married, I don't need to register our marriage, and I can even not have children!"
