Chapter 4: 003 First Negative Brings Later Negative

~14 min read 2,711 words

Yu Xing looked at the Junior Brother's sorrowful appearance, worried that he would really seek death, poured a glass of water first, and then said: "Zhiling, we are all facing a big problem now. Money is a man's courage. Without money, there is no courage. We must find a way to solve it."

He paused and said again: "But while thinking of ways to solve this big problem, let's solve your small problem first."

Zhong Zhiling raised his head blankly. Small problem? What other small problem?

"Go, find your girlfriend, I'll help you persuade her," Yu Xing said seriously.

Zhong Zhiling said bleakly: "What's there to persuade? It's gone, everything is gone."

Yu Xing first persuaded this Party A: "Zhiling, I'll ask you one thing. If you really break up, do you think her next boyfriend can be as sincere as you? Can be better to her than you?"

He put forward reasons again: "Look at you, you only have 430,000, I have 5 million. Think about your buddy!"

Zhong Zhiling was stimulated by this number and came back to his senses. The Senior Brother's 5 million was indeed much more miserable...

Yu Xing grabbed the Junior Brother's arm, took him out of the lab, and headed straight for the girls' dormitory building.

Nanjing Medical University didn't start its summer vacation until July this year, and there were still many people in the dormitory building.

Yu Xing had Zhong Zhiling call his girlfriend, Lu Haiying. After she came down, he first stated his identity, then pointed at the Junior Brother's face and said: "Sister-in-law, look at Zhong Zhiling, look at his despair after hearing you wanted to break up!"

"Sister-in-law, I have never seen a man cry like this because of a breakup. He doesn't even want to live!"

"Look at his swollen eyes!"

Facing his girlfriend Lu Haiying, Zhong Zhiling had no tears this time, but he couldn't help but shed tears when he heard his Senior Brother's next sentence.

"To be honest, Zhong Zhiling's family conditions are average, but his parents, thinking of your future small family, have already prepared 430,000!"

"Not to mention whether the money is enough, this heart, the family has really tried their best!"

Seeing that his Junior Brother didn't shed tears, Yu Xing had to point out another reason that made him despair.

Zhong Zhiling cried silently, tears streaming down uncontrollably.

Lu Haiying had argued with her boyfriend twice today and even mentioned breaking up at night, but she was also in her first love. Seeing Zhong Zhiling cry like a tearful person she had never seen before, she couldn't help but feel heartache and stepped forward to hug this man who was shedding tears for her.

Afterwards, she also cried.

Seeing his girlfriend cry, Zhong Zhiling cried even more sadly, wailing loudly.

One "ang ang ang," one "ying ying ying."

There was no shortage of student couples crying and complaining downstairs in the dormitory building in June, but crying like Zhong Zhiling and Lu Haiying couldn't help but make passersby feel sad.

Yu Xing saw that there was a tendency to watch, hurriedly grabbed the unlucky guy's arm, and urged his girlfriend to communicate well tomorrow night.

But Lu Haiying also grabbed her boyfriend's arm and was unwilling to let go.

Zhong Zhiling, with tears on his face, looked at his Senior Brother, then at his girlfriend, and finally patted his girlfriend's hand, letting her let go of him first, and followed his Senior Brother away reluctantly.

Ying, Ying, it's not that I don't want to pour out my heart to you, it's that... let me see how to deal with the problem in front of me first...

Yu Xing dragged the Junior Brother back. Looking back and seeing Lu Haiying still standing there foolishly, he turned his thoughts, worried that this bitter couple would have other ideas, let go of the Junior Brother's arm, ran over to chat for a few words, and then returned.

After walking a long way, Zhong Zhiling said tearfully: "Senior Brother, not going to the lab?"

"It's too late, let's feed the mosquitoes by the lake." Yu Xing found the street lamp by the school's artificial lake and sat on the ground.

Zhong Zhiling sat down with a thud, stared at the lake for a while, and the urge to jump in was finally suppressed. His Senior Brother had invested so much money in it, and he was much calmer than himself...

"Brother Xing, what are you thinking about?" He asked when he saw his Senior Brother didn't speak.

"I'm thinking about jumping in," Yu Xing looked at the lake and thought.

"Brother Xing..." Zhong Zhiling's emotions were unstable, and now he was a little restless again.

Yu Xing reacted: "Oh, jump in to take a cold shower, it's too hot, is this year exceptionally hot? Sigh, take a refreshing cold shower, and wake up to a new day."

Zhong Zhiling couldn't be so calm. After thinking for a few seconds, he suggested: "Let's call the police!"

"Hmm, he's in the US, his family might also be in the US," Yu Xing shook his head slightly. "Besides, I suspect those GK fund documents were also forged by him. The effect of calling the police on this situation might not be great, and it will be difficult to recover later."

Zhong Zhiling stood up excitedly again, but didn't know what to say. After sitting down again, he said powerlessly: "Brother Xing, you might as well not tell me, I could have been happy for a while..."

He suddenly remembered the bet at night and complained helplessly: "Brother Xing, you know that the money is gone, how can you still have the heart to cheat me out of money!"

Zhong Zhiling took out the folded two copies of the contract from his pocket and threw them on the grass, complaining: "If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have argued and broken up with Yingying."

Yu Xing pointed this out: "The problem of breaking up was just solved, right? You were hugging each other. I helped you solve the small problem you mentioned earlier."

"What about the money?" Zhong Zhiling turned his head, "What about the big problem? There is a big problem now!"

Yu Xing said righteously: "Just say whether the small problem was solved or not?"

Zhong Zhiling: "..."

Yu Xing asked back: "Was the big problem caused by me? Did you give me the money?"

Zhong Zhiling: "Ah? Hmm? This..."

Originally it was a finger pain, then a knife was stabbed directly. The finger didn't hurt, but the chest was bleeding...

Sitting by the lake at this moment, recalling what happened in less than half a day, the betting contract intensified his small love problem, informing him that the financial management was in trouble and using the big problem to cover up the small problem, and just now handling the small problem temporarily because of his despair over the big problem...

Toying...

Playing!

Zhong Zhiling simply sorted out the situation and thought about the Senior Brother far away in the US, asking absent-mindedly: "Brother Xing, what do you want to do? Did you really lose money too?"

He felt that this Senior Brother seemed too calm, and looked at himself again—losing 430,000 made him cry.

"Didn't you listen to the recording?" Yu Xing found that recording could really solve many problems, saving himself from saying more, "I'm just thinking, no matter how anxious and worried I am, it's not a way."

Zhong Zhiling smiled bitterly: "I don't want to be anxious and worried either, but can this be controlled?"

"Try to control it. Even if we cry to death, can Yu Xuhui send the money back to us?" Yu Xing already had the answer in his question.

Zhong Zhiling stared at his Senior Brother: "Then what to do? His phone is off, calling the police is useless, then what to do?"

Yu Xing didn't answer immediately. After looking at the lake in the night for a long time, he finally said: "I'm afraid we can only do it ourselves."

Zhong Zhiling: "?"

"I thought for a long time," Yu Xing frowned. "Zhiling, that money of mine is not my own money, it's my whole family, a whole family's money. Now I don't know when this matter will explode, but following the current route, I don't know when I can make up for such a deficit, so, I must seek change! Must change!"

Zhong Zhiling muttered: "Seek change?"

"Right!" Yu Xing nodded, "If you are poor, change; if you change, you will pass; if you pass, you will last!"

"Will it pass if I change?" Zhong Zhiling was uneasy.

"Change first and then talk." Yu Xing turned to ask the unlucky guy, "Are you poor?"

Zhong Zhiling was speechless. He was originally poor, and now he was in debt!

After a while, he asked his unusually calm Senior Brother: "Brother Xing, do you have any way?"

"Let's think together." Yu Xing didn't throw out his ideas to Party A immediately.

Zhong Zhiling thought left and right, up and down, combined with his professional knowledge, and finally thought of a quick way to make money, whispering: "Brother Xing, why don't we make wine? The cost of wine is low, let's add some blue pills, claim it has health effects, and pull in the teacher's name!"

Yu Xing raised an eyebrow: "Hmm, seems quite criminal."

Zhong Zhiling was more excited after being recognized, saying urgently: "Brother Xing, the cost is low, the effect is fast, it can be repurchased, this can be done!"

Yu Xing pondered slightly and reminded: "It may cause some adverse reactions. It has a certain stimulating effect on the digestive tract. Some users will have nausea, some may have mild headaches and dizziness, and there is a small probability of palpitations... Once adverse reactions appear, and then suspect the wine, what about this responsibility?"

Both were medical students, so they were naturally sensitive to this aspect.

Zhong Zhiling's expression struggled. After a while, he sat powerlessly by the lake. Perhaps controlling the dosage was no problem, but how to experiment with this? There were no conditions for experimentation now.

After a long time, a cool breeze by the lake blew away the summer sultriness, and the lake surface also gently shook the broken moon.

"Zhiling, I have an immature idea now, help me think about it," Yu Xing broke the increasingly bleak atmosphere and said slowly, "Do you think the bet I made with you can be promoted to more couples?"

Zhong Zhiling looked at his Senior Brother in confusion.

"Just like you said just now, low cost, we only collect money now, and only take out money to pay for roses when they get married," Yu Xing stared at the lake in front of him, pondering, "There is a market. Couples always do things with symbolic and commemorative significance."

He continued: "The input and return are attractive enough. For customers, a relatively low input of 500 yuan can get a generous gift with strong emotional significance in the future."

Zhong Zhiling was stunned for a long time, not expecting the bet he just made to have such an extension.

After a while, he added to his Senior Brother's toying again, then asked: "Will others be as stupid as me?"

Yu Xing asked back: "Are there any smart people in love?"

Zhong Zhiling felt he had been scolded.

He lowered his head and pondered what his Senior Brother said. How he listened, how he felt like he was collecting money from the front and didn't intend to fulfill the promise from the back.

After a while, Zhong Zhiling muttered: "Brother Xing, such a project seems to test character."

Yu Xing nodded: "Hmm, how is your character?"

Zhong Zhiling had confidence: "My character is very good."

He asked back subconsciously: "What about you?"

Yu Xing answered honestly: "I'm average."

Zhong Zhiling: "..."

He asked somewhat helplessly: "Brother Xing, is such a project intended to make a profit and leave?"

"No," Yu Xing answered unexpectedly, "No matter how many customers there are, it will definitely be fulfilled. I just need money now."

"You won't lack money later?" Zhong Zhiling asked, "Where will the money to be exchanged later come from?"

"I am optimistic about many things, stocks, real estate," Yu Xing said seriously, "I can also exchange by playing coins."

Zhong Zhiling looked at his Senior Brother in astonishment. Playing what? Is the determination so great? Is he going to pay it back even if he sells himself?

He explored again: "The problem is how to make others believe us? What I can think of, others can definitely think of. In three years, what if the company runs away?"

"This is a main problem, need endorsement," Yu Xing pondered, "So, if we rely on our student status, first expand in the student group, the difficulty of acquiring customers can naturally be lowered. And, I thought about it, in order to facilitate dissemination, if customer 1 can pull customer 2, we can give customer 1 a certain share. If customer 2 can continue to pull customer 3, we can continue to give 1 and 2 a share."

"However, in order to avoid risks and reduce costs, this share can be changed to a points system. Points can be exchanged for gifts, or exchanged for more roses for the wedding later. The original 999 roses can be increased to 2000, 3000..."

Zhong Zhiling was dumbfounded: "Brother Xing, this, this... isn't this pyramid selling?"

"No, no, we have actual projects," Yu Xing shook his head repeatedly, "If you have to say it, we have added a certain direct selling method. We are selling products, not pulling heads."

Zhong Zhiling pointed out the meaning he just heard: "Doesn't this increase in the number of roses mean drawing the original cake bigger?"

The original 999 roses were drawing a cake, and exchanging points for a larger number was nothing more than using things that hadn't happened in the future as temptation. It was switching a medium cake to a large cake.

"Hmm, but I have the determination to realize the final fulfillment," Yu Xing said seriously, "It's just that customers and we need to wait, need patience. To some extent, this is the growth of customers and us together."

Zhong Zhiling looked at his solemn Senior Brother, unable to tell for a moment whether he was joking with himself.

He thought and thought, and said hesitantly: "Does this work?"

"Good, Zhiling, then like this," Yu Xing arranged decisively, "We act separately. You do the blue pills, I do the love contract. We will help each other in the future."

Zhong Zhiling thought about the adverse reactions, thought about his Senior Brother's design, thought about his calmness, and finally felt that the risk of going in was lower, begging: "Brother Xing, let me do it with you!"

"Good! Like this, I'll call Lu Haiying first, let her ask if there are any dormitory sisters or girlfriends, and help us find customers first," Yu Xing was in a hurry, not wanting to waste any time.

Zhong Zhiling just nodded, suddenly feeling something was wrong, questioning: "Brother Xing, how do you have my girlfriend's phone number?"

"Just asked for it," Yu Xing answered casually, "Developing customers starts from those around you."

Zhong Zhiling opened his mouth, and the feeling of being calculated deepened again.

However, what can be done about the current situation?

He listened to his Senior Brother's concise call, thought left and right, and seemed to have no direction to choose.

Yu Xing put down the phone after finishing the call and promised: "Junior Brother, I knew about the debt earlier than you, and now it can be considered that the first negative brings the later negative. We will help each other and meet the challenges together in the future!"

He stretched out his right hand.

Zhong Zhiling reached out hesitantly. Originally intended to do it, you said it like this...

Yu Xing saw his Junior Brother was absent-minded, grabbed his hand, shook it vigorously up and down. If you are poor, change. It can be considered that he quickly pulled the first accomplice.
