Chapter 1076: Chapter 139 Rebirth_11
â`
This is too fast!
Zhao Yu couldnât help wanting to take another gulp, but he suppressed the impulse.
He coughed, then explained, âIâm sorry, I got too excitedâŠâ
âAh, ahâŠâ Hao Jingjing instinctively wanted to find an excuse for Zhao Yu, but her mind went blank and she didnât know what to say.
Zhao Yu smiled and looked at the text message, realizing the source of the 50,000 was stock dividends.
...
He didnât think much of it, assuming it was just a facade provided by the system, as long as it could be used normally.
âThe money I invested has arrivedâŠâ
âInvested money?â Hao Jingjing was bewildered. Werenât they all just first-year college students?
âDid you forget? When I was pretending to be a rich second generation, I borrowed hundreds of thousandsâŠâ Zhao Yu said with a smile.
Hao Jingjing felt overwhelmed. It was several hundred thousand. She didnât understand how Zhao Yu had the heart to bear the burden of borrowing so much money.
Like herself, even when her grandmother was sick in the hospital, she didnât dare, or even know how to borrow money.
Moreover, Zhao Yu was borrowing purely for consumption, to satisfy his own vanity, which to Hao Jingjing was unimaginable.
At that moment, Zhao Yu was so joyful he desperately wanted to share with someone, so he shoved his phone screen in front of Hao Jingjingâs eyes.
âLook, this the money Iâve made!â
Seeing the text message about the 50,000 deposit and its clear designation as stock dividends, Hao Jingjing was stunned.
âIs this really money youâve earned?!â She was somewhat disbelieving. Was this still the Zhao Yu she knew?
Was this the same Zhao Yu everyone was talking about lately, who was unserious about studies, vain and deceitful, irresponsible and unethical?
âWhat else?!â
Zhao Yu chuckled, took back his phone, and said proudly, âWhat do you think I was squeezing into those rich peopleâs circles for?!â
âI did it to learn from them. Only by doing so can you get rich quick!â
âYou know, for us ordinary people, the quickest and best way to make big money is to get close to these rich people, to find ways from themâŠâ
Hao Jingjing listened, somewhat dumbfounded, instinctively skeptical, but seeing Zhao Yuâs confident look and remembering the 50,000 that just arrived on his phone message, she realized it wasnât something she could compare to or even imagine.
In the end, Hao Jingjing believed Zhao Yu, and even admired him a bit. She felt that Zhao Yu was not as bad as everyone said, and that many people had misunderstood him.
Zhao Yu bragged quite a bit, and even he didnât remember everything he said.
However, he remembered the gist, so that later on, when he made money thanks to the system, he would have something to talk about.
But unexpectedly, Hao Jingjingâs fondness for him soared again, reaching 78 points.
âYouâve shared even such a secret with meâŠâ Hao Jingjing was somewhat surprised and flattered. In her view, this was Zhao Yuâs secret to wealth, unknown to others, but now he had shared it with her.
âWeâre good friends!â Zhao Yu said with a beaming smile.
As his words fell, the system notification sounded again.
[Hao Jingjingâs fondness has surpassed 80 points for the first time, granting a withdrawal limit: 50,000.]
âBeep beep!â
Another text message notification sounded. Zhao Yu looked and saw the same dividend message, depositing another 50,000.
He showed the message to Hao Jingjing as if to confirm the bravado of his earlier statements.
âImpressive!â Hao Jingjing gave a genuine thumbs up this time.
âHahaha, basic operation!â
Zhao Yu was smug for a while, then said, âWeâre getting a seven-day holiday soon, what are your plans?â
Having acquired 100,000 from Hao Jingjing, that money was much more secure than the money he had previously borrowed.
Therefore, Zhao Yu felt like he should compensate Hao Jingjing somewhat.
âI plan to go back to my hometown to see my grandmaâŠâ
â`
Hao Jingjing was completely unaware that she was now able to talk normally with Zhao Yu instead of looking down and blushing after every sentence.
âBy the way, Iâll also be working part-time in Shucheng where my grandmother is being treated for her illnessâŠâ
Over the past few days, Zhao Yu had been quietly learning about Hao Jingjing and knew that she wasnât from this province but from the neighboring Shu province.
The reason she chose to study here was that Xihai province was economically developed, offered more opportunities, and most importantly, had rich educational resources.
With her scores, she could only attend an ordinary junior college in Shucheng, but here she could enroll in a second-tier university.
âShucheng, huh? Perfect, I have a deal to discuss in Shucheng too. Letâs go together when the time comes!â Zhao Yu said boastfully.
But Hao Jingjing believed him, after all, just moments ago, in a matter of minutes, Zhao Yuâs account had received two transfers of fifty thousand each, totaling one hundred thousand. That was an amount of money beyond her belief.
Now, Zhao Yu could say anything, and she would believe it.
âHowever, donât spread the word. I donât want to attract too much attention before my debts are paid off!â
Zhao Yu was also afraid of any unexpected problems, of course, mainly worried about misunderstandings with Su Xinxin.
After all, he was getting too close to Hao Jingjing. If he was too conspicuous, it would be difficult to pursue Su Xinxin later.
âMmm, I can keep a secret!â Hao Jingjing said with certainty.
She always spoke with a kind of intensity that seemed powerless.
âAlright then, itâs late, you should go back. Thereâs class tomorrow, and you need to wake up early to help out at the breakfast shopâŠâ
Having made one hundred thousand overnight, Zhao Yu was eager to go back and be alone to exult in his joy.
The two quickly stood up and walked shoulder to shoulder like any other couple.
Walking on the road, when there was no one around, Hao Jingjing could talk normally with Zhao Yu, sharing some things with him.
But as soon as they met other people, she would lower her head, terrified of being seen, and dared not say another word.
Zhao Yu had become accustomed to her behavior, deliberately remaining silent when they encountered others, to give her a measure of respect.
And so, Zhao Yu walked Hao Jingjing to a spot about three or four hundred meters away from the girlsâ dormitory.
âIâll leave you here. I have a bad reputation, being seen with you might affect youâŠâ Zhao Yu said casually, but in his heart, he was thinking it would be bad if Su Xinxin saw them and got the wrong idea.
But his words moved Hao Jingjing deeply, and she nodded repeatedly.
Watching Hao Jingjing walk away quickly, yet somewhat unsteadily, Zhao Yu couldnât help but let out a wry smile.
âWhat a cute girl!â
But after praising her, he suddenly frowned and felt conflicted.
âHow could I think like this?!â
âI belong to Su Xinxin!â
He fiercely scolded himself in his heart and then returned to his dorm.
Back in the dorm, he exchanged no words with his roommates, quietly finished washing up, and Zhao Yu buried himself under the covers, counting the zeros in his bank account balance over and over again.
Five zerosâit was a number he had seen before on his card when borrowing money.
But the feeling now was completely different from back then.
Then, he knew the money with five zeros wasnât his; it was borrowed.
But now, these five zeros represented one hundred thousand that he could freely spend.
The next day, Zhao Yu woke up early, unable to sleep. Before the others got up, he quickly finished washing up and left the dormitory.
He headed straight for the ATM, inserted his bank card, checked the amount once more to confirm it really was one hundred thousand and that he could withdraw the money. He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
âIâve got money now!â
Zhao Yu felt a sense of relief, âEverything is going to start getting betterâŠâ
âNext, itâs time to maximize Hao Jingjingâs final credit limit of one hundred thousandâŠâ
Before heading to class, Zhao Yu set himself another goalâto use the upcoming seven-day holiday to completely drain the remaining value out of Hao Jingjing.
