Chapter 98

When the news of Lu Xin's win spread, he had anticipated this scene tonight. Spending a couple of thousand yuan to treat everyone to a meal and to strengthen their relationships seemed like a good idea. Now that everyone was coming to him, he agreed without hesitation, leading them with a smile to Tan Yutou Hotpot, not far away.

There were over twenty people who were relatively close to Lu Xin, plus some of their family members, making a total of more than thirty people. They filled a private room with three large tables.

The food and drinks were quickly served. Halfway through the meal, people started toasting Lu Xin. Some said they wanted to share in his luck, others said they would go and scratch tickets too, asking Lu Xin to help them choose, while some subtly suggested they wanted to borrow his good fortune.

Borrowing good fortune, what a nice way to put it, isn't it just borrowing money?

This reminded Lu Xin of a painful memory. A few months ago, he had only a few hundred yuan left, and his bank account had only a few hundred yuan as well. His grandmother needed surgery, and after scraping together all he could, he was still short by 5,000 yuan. His grandfather asked him to send 5,000 yuan home. Lu Xin asked over twenty colleagues at the factory and acquaintances in the single apartment complex, but in the end, only Zhang Feng and Xu Yong from the factory lent him 1,000 yuan each, and only Liao Qingsong and Dong Jinfu from the single apartment complex lent him 1,000 yuan each. Lu Xin sold some of his belongings to make up the 5,000 yuan and sent it home.

That incident deeply affected Lu Xin, leading him to conclude that only those who were willing to lend him money were true friends!

He secretly vowed, "When I have money, I will only repay those who lent me money. Those who never lent me money can forget about getting anything from me!"

Since those people were being subtle, Lu Xin played along, patting their shoulders and saying, "I've patted you, so I've lent you my good fortune. Go and scratch a ticket tomorrow, maybe you'll win a few thousand yuan too!"

Those people were at a loss, unable to ask Lu Xin for money anymore.

If Liao Qingsong, Dong Jinfu, and others who had helped him before asked for money, Lu Xin would have lent it without hesitation, even up to 10,000 yuan. However, Liao Qingsong was extremely frugal, his salary was enough for his expenses, and he could save several ten thousand yuan. Dong Jinfu came from a wealthy family and could ask his parents for money if his salary wasn't enough. Therefore, they had no intention of borrowing money from Lu Xin.

Those who treated him well didn't need his repayment, but those who rarely treated him well could shamelessly ask for something in return. This was the messed-up world.

Just as Lu Xin had dealt with those who subtly asked for money, a man, reeking of alcohol, stood in front of him and loudly demanded, "Sanjin, give me 40,000 yuan for a turnover!"

I worked hard to win 50,000 yuan, and after deducting 20% income tax, I only got 40,000 yuan. You're asking for 40,000 yuan, that's a bit too much, isn't it?

Lu Xin widened his eyes and recognized the man in front of him. It was Yun Sida, the deputy plant manager of the hard alloy materials plant under the alloy materials division, a man with a pitiful and hateful nature.

Yun Sida was the nephew of Huang Donghua, the former chairman of Sanjiang Group and the current vice mayor of Jiangzhou City in charge of industry. With this connection, even though Yun Sida only had a vocational school education and was addicted to gambling, prostitution, and drugs, he still rose from an ordinary casting worker to the deputy plant manager of the hard alloy materials plant.

As the nephew of Vice Mayor Huang, even with his low education, Yun Sida easily married a beautiful college graduate assigned to Sanjiang Group and had a smart and handsome son named Yun Zheng. Their life was harmonious until Yun Sida developed a gambling addiction. He lost his salary and borrowed money, which he also lost. No one was willing to lend him money anymore, so he went to the hospital to donate sperm for money. The doctor told him he was infertile. Yun Sida, feeling devastated, returned home and noticed that his son Yun Zheng didn't look like him but resembled his wife's ex-boyfriend. Wearing a green hat to such an extent, he lacked the courage to be a cuckold and a turtle, so he divorced his wife.

Later, Yun Sida married another beautiful college graduate. On their wedding night, he discovered he was impotent, as his ex-wife's infidelity had caused him severe psychological trauma. However, his second wife, Wu Meixia, married him for the sake of her career, sacrificing her personal happiness. By her early thirties, she had climbed to the position of deputy head of human resources at Sanjiang Group.

Thinking of Wu Meixia, Lu Xin couldn't help but look at Zhou Ya beside him. There were indeed many ambitious women who would sacrifice their personal happiness for their career!

Yun Sida couldn't satisfy Wu Meixia, but he was afraid of being cuckolded again, so he closely monitored her, prohibiting any men from approaching her. As a result, Wu Meixia, like Li Qingqing, remained a virgin at thirty.

Yun Sida was a gambling addict, and when he gambled to the point of madness, he even sold his house. Wu Meixia, furious, returned to her parents' home, leaving Yun Sida homeless. He then used his connections to shamelessly live in the single apartment complex, which was only for unmarried college students.

After moving into the single apartment complex, Yun Sida, with his extroverted personality, quickly became familiar with the college students there.

Yun Sida, a vocational school graduate, later obtained a fake associate degree and was envious and jealous of Lu Xin, who had a full-time bachelor's degree. He often asked Lu Xin all sorts of random questions, which Lu Xin found tedious and answered perfunctorily. Yun Sida would then confidently say, "Sanjin, you're definitely not a bachelor's graduate. Your education level is definitely low. I've determined that!"

Lu Xin cursed inwardly, "Determine your mother! I graduated from the Mechanical College of Jiangnan University of Science and Technology. Although my grades were poor, I still managed to get a degree and a diploma." However, he didn't bother to argue, thinking it was pointless to say, "You're a eunuch, I've determined that!"

Lu Xin wasn't one to retaliate in kind!

Yun Sida also asked Lu Xin about his sexual experiences. Such a weak man was very interested in such matters, but Lu Xin wouldn't tell this peeping Tom about his intimate moments with Yang Xiaoli, so he refused to say anything. Yun Sida then said, "You're a virgin, I've determined that!"

"Determine your father!" Lu Xin was furious and wanted to retort, "Your father is a virgin, and your grandfather is a virgin! I've determined that!"

Given their relationship, when Yun Sida asked Lu Xin for money, clearly to gamble, how could Lu Xin lend it to him? He made an excuse, "My grandparents are not in good health. I need to send money for their medical expenses. I've sent all the prize money home."

Lu Xin wasn't lying. After meeting Yang Xiaoli, he spent all his money on her and hadn't sent any money home. After realizing Yang Xiaoli's true nature, Lu Xin realized how irresponsible and unfilial he had been. He vowed to prioritize supporting his elders with his future earnings to repay their care!

As for women, he wouldn't be a kept man, and he wouldn't let them take advantage of him again!

However, sending too much money to his grandparents wasn't a good idea. Sending 1.06 million yuan would shock them, so he decided to send a few thousand yuan to improve their living conditions.

Yun Sida, lacking self-awareness, thought he and Lu Xin had a good relationship. He was taken aback by Lu Xin's refusal to lend him any money and left in a huff, furious.

Zhou Ya leaned close to Lu Xin's ear and whispered, "It's better to offend a gentleman than a small person! You should at least lend him some money, or he might cause trouble!"

Lu Xin sneered, "This wimp can't do much. He'll just curse me behind my back!"

He was wrong. Small people were good at causing trouble! (I can't ask for recommendations anymore. With over 100,000 clicks and 6,000 favorites, but only 2,000 recommendations, it's not a good feeling. Fellow readers, although this book by Old Chang is a bit biased, it's a sincere effort. I didn't write it with blood and tears, but I did put a lot of effort into it. Your recommendations are not very supportive. I sincerely ask for your recommendations. As a middle-aged man taking care of a child, I can't make empty promises, but for every additional 1,000 recommendations, I will add an extra chapter to the two updates. This promise is always valid. If it's not, you can blame me!)
