Chapter 559: Chapter 561 The Table’s
"Nobody’s buying them, not for eighty, not even for fifty," Ji Shuqin lamented at the thought of those four brand-new radios, his heart bleeding for them.
"Don’t worry, give them to me, I’ll try to sell them for you," Xu Nian’an offered as he looked at Ji Shuqin, his cousin. How could he refuse to help?
If Ji Ying knew about this and he didn’t help, she’d probably twist his ear and lecture him for three days straight.
"What about that thousand yuan?" Although Xu Nian’an could help sell the radios, he needed to repay the thousand yuan he borrowed.
"Borrow two hundred, repay two hundred," Xu Nianhua reminded him, adding, "Charging interest like that is illegal."
"Brother Niu’s guys are many, and they’re not afraid to beat people up," Ji Shuqin spoke up weakly, recalling the time he had witnessed Brother Niu and his crew beating someone up – a scene he would never forget.
Xu Nianhua was speechless. "You knew you’d get beaten up, and you still borrowed money from him?"
"It was because I had no money. A hundred and twenty yuan is quite the sum. If I had earned that, I wouldn’t have to work for several months," Ji Shuqin answered with conviction. If he had the money, would he need to borrow at all?
Wasn’t it his friend who told him it was a good opportunity to make money quickly and get his investment back?
Who knew it would end up like this – if he paid on time, he could at least make a profit of a hundred yuan.
"Nian’an, do you think you could help me out?" Ji Shuqin was truly out of options. If this had been before the factory closed, he would never have needed to borrow the two hundred yuan. But since the factory had closed, his family had become increasingly poor and he could no longer afford to be idle.
Yet for all these years, he hadn’t been able to stick with any job. When his family faced trouble, he finally resolved to endure hardship and joined his parents working at the paper mill. However, the wages were too low, and for a family of four, they were relying on that petty income. After the New Year, when his friend mentioned this opportunity, he took a few days off, only to find himself in this mess.
Ji Shuqin now didn’t even dare to face his parents, knowing he’d be scolded to death.
"Tomorrow, I..." Xu Nian’an was about to say that he’d accompany him to see Brother Niu when he was cut mid-sentence.
Pei Yicheng chimed in, "I know quite a few people in Beining. Tomorrow, I’ll have Ling Dong accompany you on a visit."
"I have things to take care of at Xiyue Hotel tomorrow." Pei Yicheng explained in Xu Nianhua’s ear.
"That’s great, you’re from Beining," Xu Nian’an said immediately, then added, "Shuqin, bring the radios to me tomorrow, and I’ll give you the money first."
"Nian’an, you’re really like my own brother," Ji Shuqin was overjoyed, grabbing Xu Nian’an’s hand, his gratitude pouring out.
Xu Nian’an reminded him, "Cousin."
"Ah?" Ji Shuqin was just considering that once the radios were dealt with tomorrow, he would finally be able to get a good night’s sleep.
"Tomorrow morning, find me at the Beautiful Boutique in front of Ningbei Medical University," Xu Nian’an said, not bothering to correct him about the difference between a brother and a cousin.
"You got into Medical University? You must be really smart!" Ji Shuqin looked at Xu Nian’an with admiration. To get into Medical University, even locals from the province found it challenging, let alone people from other provinces.
Ji Shuqin turned to Xu Nianhua, "Which university did you get into, Nianhua? It’s not Medical University as well, is it?"
"No, it’s Beining University, the Foreign Language Department."
Stunned by Xu Nianhua’s response, Ji Shuqin gave a thumbs up to the siblings and said, "You guys are impressive."
"Nianhua, you’re just twenty and you’re already dating?" After resolving the big issue, Ji Shuqin started to indulge in gossip. He looked at Pei Yicheng, who exuded a perfect outer appearance and demeanor. Among the people he knew, none had an aura quite like Pei Yicheng.
