Chapter 553: Selling Herself To Save Him

Chapter 553: Selling Herself To Save Him

There were all sorts of posts and news reports. Some said that there was indeed something wrong with the person who had filed the report. They also mentioned some rumors that the reporter had heard from his friend’s neighbor’s sister’s son.

Some of them dug up Su Yang’s career history to prove how fast Su Yang was developing. They suspected that there must be something wrong with Su Yang. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have developed so quickly.

Some analyzed Su Yang’s current situation. Even if he did not die, he would be skinned alive, so there would definitely be problems.

There were also some who lamented about Han Yi, saying that she was really unlucky. She had just changed to a new boss, yet that new boss was already being reported.

Su Yang looked at the comments on the internet and shook his head without a care. ‘The popularity on the internet only lasted for three seconds. The few times that I became an “internet celebrity”, it had only lasted a few days.

‘Most importantly, it all depends on the city’s decision.’

Just as Su Yang was thinking about this, Little Deeny’s voice came through the wall. “Master, you have a call.”

Su Yang asked, “Who’s it from?”

Little Deeny said, “It’s Mr. Shen from the bank.”

Mr. Shen was the manager of the bank’s credit department. Previously, Su Yang did not have any money on hand, but the Silver Mission required him to spend 50 million yuan within a month. Hence, in order to complete the mission as soon as possible, Su Yang borrowed 50 million yuan from him.

Su Yang sat up from the bed and adjusted his posture before picking up the call. “Hello, Mr. Shen. Good morning. Is there anything I can help you with?”

On the other end of the phone, Mr. Shen’s voice sounded as sly as before. “Aiya, Mr. Su. I wouldn’t call if I have nothing to ask. In fact, I do have some questions to discuss with you.”

“Didn’t you borrow 50 million from our bank earlier? I’d like to ask if you’re done with your business? Would you be able to return your loan in advance?”

Su Yang was not surprised at all.

When Su Yang borrowed money from Mr. Shen, Mr. Shen was a two-faced person. On one hand, he promised to lend money to Su Yang, but on the other hand, he did not intend to fulfill his promise.

In fact, he was angered when Su Yang urged him, he even publicly declared that he would never lend Su Yang money in his life.

However, Su Yang made use of Mr Shen’s habit of boasting and signed the [Absolute Verbal Contract] with the latter the moment Mr. Shen made the promise.

[Absolute verbal contract] had an absolute effect. As long as Mr. Shen agreed to it and it was something within his capability, he would be forced to complete it.

Therefore, he had no choice but to lend Su Yang the money.

‘I reckon that he must have seen the news about someone filing a report against me this morning. Then, he saw how the discussions online were one sided against me, he’s now here to add salt to injury.

‘However, I’m not that easy to bully. I used my own capabilities to borrow money from the bank, so why should I return it in advance?’

Su Yang pretended to be confused. “Return my loan? Didn’t I borrow money for eight months? Why do I have to return it so soon?”

Mr. Shen chuckled and said, “Aiya, Mr. Su, the economy isn’t doing well now. Our bank doesn’t have any money anymore. Also... I’m sure you’re well aware about your current situation. Our bank is under a lot of pressure at the moment.”

Su Yang chuckled. “Mr. Shen, the bank doesn’t have money? You must be joking. No matter who doesn’t have any money, it will never be the bank.”

“As for my current situation... I really don’t know what my current situation is. Could you kindly explain it to me?”

Mr. Shen initially thought that Su Yang would be panicking now that he was in such a predicament. Hence, if he were to scare Su Yang a little, he would have to admit defeat obediently. The return of the loan was not important, what was important was that Mr. Shen wanted to see Su Yang admit defeat.

After all, Mr. Shen had been working as a creditor for a long time. No matter what kind of company it was, they would always smile at Mr. Shen, while Mr. Shen would treat all of them beneath him. However, Su Yang was the only one who was arrogant and condescending towards him!

‘Brother! You are the one who wants to borrow money! Can you know your place!’

Therefore, when Mr. Shen saw that Su Yang had been reported last night, he was overjoyed. He did not sleep for the whole night. He wanted to make his presence known by calling Su Yang early in the morning.

In the end... he really did not expect Su Yang to be so unyielding even in such a situation.

Instantly, his face darkened and he said, “Su Yang, I feel that you should think about your...”

“Du, du, du...”

Before he could finish, Su Yang hung up.

Hearing the busy tone on the other end, Mr. Shen’s face turned redder and redder. He was so angry that he grabbed the phone and was about to smash it on the ground! However, just as the phone was about to leave his hand, he stopped.

He switched the phone to his other hand, grabbed the glass on the table, and slammed it on the floor. “Bang!” The glass shattered and the water within splashed everywhere. “F*ck you!”

Hearing the sound of glass shattering in the living room, Mr. Shen’s wife quickly walked out of the house. Looking at the broken pieces on the floor, she said angrily, “It’s fine if you’re going to be angry! But why did you have to smash the glass! Clean it up yourself!”

Mr. Shen was speechless.

It was rare for him to be stubborn at home. “I’m not cleaning it up! I’m going to look for Old Chen! I want him to force that little brat to return his loan!”

...

At the same time, Su Yang, who had hung up the phone, sneered. ‘Mr. Shen is really stupid. Regardless of whether I’m short of money or not, if he’s incapable, he should just follow the contract. Plus, I didn’t force the bank to sign the contract. Mr. Shen, if you think you’re capable, you could just force me to return the loan. Why are you calling to make your presence known?

When you see someone gaining power, you kneel down and lick their boots. Then, when you see someone losing power, you hit them when they’re down. Bah! You scoundrel! Talking to you is a literal waste of time.’

Su Yang cursed and got out of bed to wash up.

After washing up, Su Yang took out Little Deeny’s avatar from his bed. Looking at the time, it was already 8am. He could not help but want to scold Mr. Shen. ‘How could this guy call so early in the morning? He’s literally trying to ruin my sleep!’

After checking the time, Su Yang was about to turn off the clock when he realized that he had received many WeChat messages.

‘Eh? I have many messages?

‘Could it be a message from the same netizens as before?’

Su Yang unlocked the screen curiously and opened WeChat.

In the end, he realized that he was wrong...

It was different from the previous times when WeChat was always flooded with messages. This time, most of the messages were from people close to him.

However, this was human nature. When there was a happy occasion, everyone would like to chat and get some joy from it. Once that person gets hit with bad luck, other than those close to the person, no one else would care.

Or rather, people who did not have a certain level of relationship with that person would not dare to risk being unlucky by communicating with the person.

Su Yang followed the sequence and saw that the first message was from Li Runze.

Li Runze texted. ‘If you need help, say it.’

‘His concern is always short, direct and heartwarming. But, if the last sentence wasn’t there...’

Li Runze’s next sentence stated. ‘Although I might not be able to help much.’

‘Yeap... He’s a really rational person.

‘However, regardless of whether he could help or not, if someone is willing to help when I’m in trouble, I’ll have to remember their favor.

The second message was sent by Qu Xuan. ‘President, I realized that the national football team is really hopeless recently. Do you think I should switch to basketball? I heard that you like to play basketball, let’s spar when you’re free.’

‘A clumsy way of changing the subject.

‘However, I really like basketball, but I’ve only played it a few times. I’m surprised Qu Xuan was able to find out about this.’ Then, Su Yang replied. ‘Ok, Xiaoming’

Qu Xuan replied instantly. ‘Don’t call me Xiaoming!’

Su Yang replied. ‘Alright, Qu Xiaoming.

Qu Xuan texted. ‘...’

The third message was from Xu Lu. ‘Su Yang, I will always be by your side.’

Su Yang was speechless.

He did not reply to her.

Instead, he continued reading.

Fatty Lu texted. “I saw the news about. I’m going to ask my dad to see if he has any experience and if he can help you come up with an idea.”

Wu Feng texted. ‘No matter what, you are still my brother. We will always be in the same boat and go through the tough times together.’

Li Zijun texted. ‘Mr. Su, I am trying my best to deal with it. Give me some more time, it will surely be fine!’

...

At Jiadian Pictures in Shanghai.

When Li Zijun came earlier, she had a secret meeting with Su Yang’s special effects team.

The person-in-charge said, “These days, Mr. Su has been with us day and night. Everyone should know that his post-production skills are top-notch in the country. Would someone with such skills be the kind of person that the internet is talking about?”

“We can’t mess up because of the comments online.”

Someone below said, “Yes, we know our own standards. In these few days under Mr. Su’s guidance, our overall production level has increased, that includes our speed as well. This is all thanks to Mr. Su.”

...

In a residential building on the fourth floor in Hangzhou.

11 people were gathered in the living room, either seated or standing.

After a while, one of them said, “That b*stard, Sun Hao, is really shameless, he’s really trying to go for the kill! Mr. Su has just agreed to accept us, yet he’s gone and file a report against Mr. Su publicly! What a f*cking b*stard!”

The square-faced man in the lead nodded. “That’s right. That’s why we have to be grateful! We have to help Mr. Su win this battle! Old Li, at the crucial moment, you can give the things that we’ve collected to Mr. Su. They might be very effective.”

...

In the virtual space.

Su Yang was still scrolling through the messages. The next one was from Lin Jiali.

Lin Jiali texted. ‘If you close down, remember to terminate my contract in advance.’

‘Lin Jiali’s message seems a little insensitive...’

However, Su Yang noticed that Lin Jiali had a second message. ‘Then, I’ll sign a contract with another company and ask for a contract fee. I can even lend you money to make a comeback. By the way, remember to pay me back when you can!’

Su Yang could not help but smile. ‘Is she trying to sell herself to save her father... No... Save a person?’

Su Yang texted. ‘Thank you.’

The last WeChat message was from Chu Xia. ‘According to the timeline, she should be the first person to send the WeChat message...’

Chu Xia texted. ‘Su Yang, I never told you that my novel’s film and television rights have been sold for three million yuan. I’ve received the money. After deducting tax, I have 2.6 million yuan. This is all the money I have. If you need it, I’ll transfer it to you.’

Su Yang looked at the WeChat messages of the people around him. For a moment, he felt warmth in his heart and his nose felt sour. ‘It turns out that I’ve unknowingly found so many trustworthy companions.

‘Even if it’s for their sake, I will not lose this battle...’

At the same time, in a nursing home in the suburbs of Shanghai, in Mansion No. 1, a call was made to a big boss in the city...
