Chapter 141: Chapter 141: I Won’t Help You Pay Back a Penny

If there’s any difficulty by then, he would help again.

"Okay," Zhou Shuyan nodded. "Then pick a time to go through the loan process."

Now it was Lu Youxi’s turn to be surprised. "You’re okay with this? You don’t think my idea is unrealistic?"

"Not at all," Zhou Shuyan’s tone sounded especially matter-of-fact, even tinged with a bit of confusion as to "why Lu Youxi would think like this," "I believe you can do it."

Lu Youxi: "..."

"Do you think you might be a little blindly trusting of me?" For the first time, Lu Youxi was trusted to the point where she was somewhat speechless.

She didn’t have as much confidence in herself as Zhou Shuyan seemed to have.

"No one thought you could earn at least a hundred thousand a month before you came to the Imperial Capital," Zhou Shuyan explained before Lu Youxi could ask. "I don’t know how much you’ve made in total, but the money for the rent and the down payment for the shop is over a hundred thousand."

Lu Youxi couldn’t help lip-syncing a silent chuckle.

She was on her way back to her dormitory, glancing around. There were people passing by, but none were close to her.

Lu Youxi then lowered her voice to admit, "I’ve made a total of 160,000."

"Who would’ve thought I’d marry someone so capable of making money," Zhou Shuyan, relaxed in his office, leaned back in his chair, resting his head back and let out a low laugh, "With your ability to make money, I really can’t bear to divorce you now."

Lu Youxi’s face turned red, a burning sensation, "You can’t be serious for more than five minutes."

"Do you have time tomorrow?" Zhou Shuyan’s voice still hadn’t fully lost its cheer, carrying a hint of mirth.

"Not backing down, Lu Youxi replied, "What for? Want to ask me out on a date?"

Lu Youxi couldn’t see the slightly mischievous smile on Zhou Shuyan’s face, his tone sounding especially innocent, "Didn’t we agree to handle the loan?"

Lu Youxi: "..."

Although it was evening, Lu Youxi’s face was as red as if it had been scorched by the noon sun.

Lu Youxi nearly hung up the phone in vexation.

"I... I know!" Lu Youxi’s scalp tingled, nearly misspeaking, "I said so on purpose."

"Is that so?" Zhou Shuyan put on an aggrieved tone, "I almost believed you just now."

Lu Youxi: "..."

Heh, as if I’d believe you!

"I’m free tomorrow, but it’s a workday. Will that be a problem for you?" Lu Youxi was worried in case it wasn’t convenient for Zhou Shuyan.

"Taking two or three hours off to handle the loan with you is no problem," Zhou Shuyan said.

Lu Youxi also wanted to get this matter completed as soon as possible.

So she made an appointment with Zhou Shuyan for the time to handle the loan the next day.

Zhou Shuyan specifically asked Zhang Tianhai to drive him to a spot a short distance from the bank and stop there.

Before getting off the car, Zhou Shuyan made sure to check around—Lu Youxi hadn’t arrived yet, so Zhou Shuyan hurriedly got out of the car.

Zhang Tianhai was about to get out when Zhou Shuyan was startled and quickly said in a low voice, "What are you doing?"

Zhang Tianhai halted his movement, shrinking back in the car as he asked, "Where should I wait for you?"

Isn’t it impolite to talk to the CEO from inside the car?

"Stay inside, don’t show your face," Zhou Shuyan reminded him, "Wait for me near Jing University."

He still had to take Lu Youxi back to Jing University.

Needless to say, they would take the subway.

Zhou Shuyan had gotten quite familiar with the subway lately.

"Okay," Zhang Tianhai nodded.

"Alright, off you go," Zhou Shuyan, with the back of his hand toward Zhang Tianhai inside the car, urged by waving his fingers.

"Okay, CEO. I’m leaving now," Zhang Tianhai didn’t dare delay and quickly drove away.

Zhou Shuyan walked to the bank entrance and waited for about five minutes before he saw Lu Youxi running over.

"Why are you running?" Zhou Shuyan noticed Lu Youxi was breathing heavily, though not sweating.

"I saw you were already waiting here," Lu Youxi replied.

"I’ve just arrived too; no rush. Next time you see me, just walk over slowly, no need to hurry. I’m waiting," Zhou Shuyan instructed. "Remember."

"Got it." Lu Youxi acknowledged and went inside with Zhou Shuyan.

Lu Youxi had previously inquired about the necessary documents for the loan, so this time she was well-prepared.

Lu Youxi and Zhou Shuyan went to the office and knocked, then the manager came to open the door, "Miss Lu, please come in, the two of you."

"This is my husband," Lu Youxi introduced.

"Is your husband being your guarantor?" The manager appeared surprised.

"Yes," Lu Youxi nodded, admittedly not well-versed in this area.

In her previous life, she never needed a guarantor.

The manager explained, "The thing is, spouses can’t act as guarantors for each other’s loans. But they can repay the loan jointly. In that case, you don’t need a guarantor to apply for a loan."

The manager apologetically added, "You didn’t mention you were married when you were last here, and I didn’t ask. That was my oversight. In your case, even without an income proof, if your husband has a steady income proof and the ability to repay the loan together, you can still be granted a loan."

Lu Youxi turned to ask Zhou Shuyan, "Are you okay with this? I will definitely be the one repaying the loan."

"Of course, I’m fine with that," confirmed Zhou Shuyan, whose visit was particularly for this purpose.

"Then let’s get started," the manager suggested.

Zhou Shuyan handed the prepared materials to the manager.

Out of respect for Zhou Shuyan’s privacy, Lu Youxi did not look at the bank statements or income proof.

The manager, upon seeing them, couldn’t help but gasp, his eyes wide with shock staring at Zhou Shuyan.

Why would you need a loan with your situation?

Seriously, why apply for a mere 350,000?

Are you kidding me?

Zhou Shuyan smiled, his gaze holding a subtle warning and a tense atmosphere as he casually inquired, "Is there a problem?"

"No problem," the manager laughed awkwardly, "The materials you provided are more than sufficient."

The manager thought to himself, is this how wealthy people have fun nowadays?

The loan process went smoother than Lu Youxi could have imagined, and she was still somewhat in shock when it was all done.

Leaving the bank, Lu Youxi thanked Zhou Shuyan, "Today’s a workday and you still had to come out. You better go back now."

"It’s fine; since I’ve already taken leave and it’s not over, I’ll walk you back to school first," Zhou Shuyan said as they headed to the subway station together.

"Don’t worry; I will definitely pay back the loan myself, without using your money," Lu Youxi reaffirmed.

"I know, you’ve already told me," Zhou Shuyan said lightly, smiling, "Rest assured, I won’t pay a cent towards it."

Lu Youxi sighed with relief, "That’s good to hear."

Zhou Shuyan: "..."

It seems that this for you is something worth sighing over with relief.

Lu Youxi returned to school, and as both she and Zhou Shuyan were busy, they did not spend much time together on this occasion.
