Chapter 1851 - 1937: The Olympic Spirit
"Big... bro."
In that instant, President Lan was so overwhelmed he was at a loss for words. To someone of his level, money is just a string of numbers, without much special significance. What he really wants now is a business he can call his own. The daily routine of driving sports cars and mingling with women really bores him!
"Alright, save the sentiment for when you repay me, I do charge interest!"
Su Xuan stood up with a mischievous grin, then got in the car!
"What are you waiting for? Get in the car!"
"Where are we going?"
President Lan asked, somewhat surprised.
"To help you repay your debt! You actually took out a high-interest loan, truly impressive. If your dad finds out, he’s sure to be so frustrated he’d want to wring your neck!"
Su Xuan naturally understood how deceptive high-interest loans could be. Frankly, it’s blatant rogue behavior. With a total amount of five million yuan, the interest alone could be terrifying.
"Alright, let’s go then!"
President Lan quickly replied, thinking about how happy he’d be if this could be resolved. He had been contemplating borrowing more to pay off debts.
"By the way, where’s that company?"
"It’s in the area where the car scene is. I’ll take you there now!"
President Lan said excitedly, drove ahead, and Su Xuan followed in the rear. Soon they arrived at Heavenly Pillar Mountain in the Imperial Capital. This area has a road winding around a tall mountain, originally built for tourism, but now the site has been bought and converted into a racing track. It’s labeled as racing, but effectively it’s all about gambling!
After Su Xuan parked the car, they could hear those promotional girls in miniskirts cheering from afar, and banners everywhere proclaiming "Olympic Spirit!"
"Damn, just gambling, yet they have to involve the Olympic spirit!"
Su Xuan said disdainfully, looking up at Heavenly Pillar Mountain. Sure enough, it’s a very long track, with slopes and curves. Many people are racing here, and there’s also a bustling car dealership nearby. It makes sense actually: racing on such a treacherous slope is hard on cars, after one lap the car’s practically done for.
So business here is genuinely good, and they’re all luxury cars. Su Xuan scratched his nose, thinking this guy truly has a knack for business, so clever!
Arriving here, Su Xuan sees nothing but business opportunities! The spoiled rich kid looks at those race cars, eyes practically bulging with excitement!
"Kid, how dare you borrow money from a place like this!"
Su Xuan realized the kid was in for big trouble this time!
"What’s... what’s wrong?"
He quickly responded, looking at Su Xuan, knowing there’s a reason if Su Xuan spoke to him like this.
"If I guessed correctly, this is all an organized setup, a total scam from start to finish. You really have no brain!"
Su Xuan leaned against the car, lit a cigarette, and realized the companies here, from reception to car repair, were all in cahoots. This boss is undoubtedly powerful, and may have spotted this spoiled rich kid long ago. If Su Xuan hadn’t accidentally revealed their scheme, he’d be doomed.
"No way, what should I do?"
Looking at Su Xuan, the spoiled rich kid now felt terrified. It’s all because he was being impulsive; counting everything, he’s lost at least ten million yuan, already pawned two luxury cars, and even the one he’s driving now is mortgaged.
"Kid, how did I become friends with someone so unreliable, guess I’m just unlucky. But don’t do anything this foolish ever again!"
"Yes... bro, I know. Don’t worry, if I ever gamble again, I’ll cut off my own hand!"
Only now did the spoiled rich kid grasp the severity of the situation, quickly saying.
When Su Xuan and the spoiled rich kid entered the loan company, sure enough, the company staff saw the spoiled rich kid entering, eyes squinting in pleasure, as if seeing a breakout star, excitement naturally is beyond words.
"President Lan, did you bring your documents today? It’s a great opportunity. I just checked; they’re all amateurs!"
The attendant was a woman, about thirty, wearing a blouse, looking quite attractive.
"Ahem... I’m here to pay the debt!"
President Lan said awkwardly, thinking to himself how this is simply a huge pitfall, almost unable to escape. Thankfully, Su Xuan is like a lifesaver!
"Pay the debt? Why the rush?"
The receptionist was completely taken aback, not understanding what was going on. The bait has already been taken; what now!
"What, is there a problem?"
President Lan was beginning to wonder, thinking how treacherous this was. Here he comes to pay the debt, and yet they’re acting like it’s unnecessary — feels like a setup!
"Uh... no, it’s just I’m curious. Previously, President Lan mentioned issues with capital turnover, so I applied to the higher-ups. They said they could offer a preferential interest rate!"
"No need, just settle what I owe!"
President Lan initially didn’t see how deep this pit was, but now realizes that all of it is a giant mess. If he takes another loan, it might be impossible to get out.
His father may be wealthy, but this is a snowball rolling out of control, and even his father couldn’t bear it.
"President Lan, don’t you want to try your luck today? Opportunities are good!"
The woman changed the subject.
"Not playing anymore, can’t beat them!"
President Lan directly said, knowing that betting more would endanger himself, and after saying this, the woman’s expression seemed to change.
"President Lan, please wait a moment, I’ll handle the paperwork for you!"
The woman went inside, and Su Xuan sat on the sofa, smoking, while President Lan came next to him, feeling somewhat depressed.
"Big bro, do you think they’re hoping I continue playing? I just said I wouldn’t, and they changed their expression!"
"Of course, you’re such a fat sheep, if they don’t fleece you, who will?"
Su Xuan clicked his tongue, thinking that returning the money today wouldn’t be simple since President Lan is a big fat sheep.
