Zhou Chen has completely watched the movie "She Disappeared". Although it is only a two-hour movie and not much of the plot is shown, the general plot and cause and effect relationship can still be clarified.
He Fei is not a good person, and Huo Ran who helps He Fei is not a good person either. He agreed to help He Fei for a purpose.
After He Fei and Li Muzi got married, Huo Ran often borrowed money from He Fei to have fun, but because of the car accident, He Fei didn't dare to offend Huo Ran, and always responded to his requests.
Just because Zhou Chen traveled through time, Huo Ran borrowed money from him twice, once for 50,000 yuan and once for 200,000 yuan.
To describe it in one sentence, He Fei wanted to pluck Li Muzi’s wool, while Huo Ran wanted to pluck He Fei’s wool.
Zhou Chen didn't want to spoil him, but thinking that his relationship with Li Muzi was developing rapidly at the time, and not wanting to cause any complications, he spent some money to send him away.
This time Huo Ran asked him to meet, he didn't need to think about it, he knew it must be related to money again.
As the saying goes, times are better than three times. If Huo Ran continues to pester like this, he must find a way to solve this trouble.
Muzi Li is now more than seven months pregnant. He doesn't want these nonsense to affect Muzi Li. He doesn't have much affection for the child, but Muzi Li has been with him day and night for more than half a year, and the relationship is still very deep, so he doesn't want Muzi Li to do it again because of the past.
things get hurt.
This was also the biggest reason why he tolerated Huo Ran and transferred money to him the first two times.
But the limit of his patience is limited. If Huo Ran still doesn't know what's interesting and tries to push his limits, there's no need for him to be merciful.
Huo Ran didn't notice Zhou Chen's alienation from him, he was still the same as before.
"Are you still staying at home with your wife every day recently? I don't even come out to play cards when I ask you. Are you really acting like a good family man?"
Without waiting for Zhou Chen to answer, he continued: "But that's right. You and she have a child now. You really need to act like a good man during this period. Once the child is born, she will not be at your mercy. You
The recruitment is really clever."
Zhou Chen was very unhappy after hearing this. He was no longer the same He Fei as before, and he was no longer the same as Huo Ran.
"This is my own business and has nothing to do with you. Tell me, what do you want to see me for today?"
Seeing that Zhou Chen's tone was not good, Huoran stopped the teasing on his face.
"No rush, let's drink coffee first. We haven't seen each other for a long time, so we have to catch up on old times."
"There's no need to reminisce about old times. I don't have that much time recently. Given our relationship, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Huo Ran's expression changed slightly, and he could hear the alienation in Zhou Chen's tone: "He Fei, now that you are rich, don't you just want to get rid of me, an old friend?"
Zhou Chen said lightly: "If I really wanted to do this, why would I come here to see you."
"snort."
Huo Ran snorted coldly: "You come to see me not necessarily because of our previous relationship, but because you are afraid that I will expose you. He Fei, don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. Don't forget that you can have
Who helped you live your good life now? If I hadn't told you Li Muzi's identity and helped you make suggestions, would you have won her heart, married her, and entered the upper class?"
Zhou Chen still had a calm expression: "Are you trying to settle a score with me?"
"Settling accounts is out of the question. I just want to remind you that without my help, you would still be a diving instructor and live in a dormitory of a few square meters; look at you now, living in a large villa of several hundred square meters.
You drive a million-dollar luxury car, go to high-end clubs, eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, and wear international brands. How long has it been since you have forgotten the past and how I helped you?
?”
Huo Ran looked angry and suppressed his anger to remind Zhou Chen.
"Why, now that you have achieved your goal, are you ready to abandon me, your old friend?"
Zhou Chen calmly picked up the coffee and took a sip: "Huo Ran, you are thinking too much."
"Huh, I hope so. When you lost money gambling, I lent you a lot of money."
Huo Ran was still dissatisfied, but his tone was no longer so aggressive.
Zhou Chen said: "Of course I don't know what happened back then. You probably didn't just ask me to come out for coffee today. Tell me, what happened again?"
Huo Ran pondered for a while and said, "I'm going to buy a house in Shanghai."
Zhou Chen's eyes flashed, and he congratulated quietly: "This is a good thing, congratulations to you."
Huo Ran smiled again: "It's a good thing. I've also discovered that if you want to be stable and find a woman to live with, you still have to have your own house. Although there is a house in my hometown, women nowadays are very realistic. Houses in small counties
I don’t like her at all, so I just thought that if I had a house in Shanghai, it would be much easier to find a partner, what do you think?”
"That's the truth. A house in Modu is indeed the best in the dating market."
"So, I made a decision to buy a house in Shanghai. My parents also agreed. They planned to use all the money they had saved throughout their lives to buy me a house, plus my own savings. Now
Just a little bit is enough. After much thought, with our relationship, you will definitely help me with this, right?"
"Help, as long as I can help, I will definitely help."
Zhou Chen showed a fake smile and asked: "Then how much do you still need?"
"Not much, three million."
Even though Zhou Chen was mentally prepared, when he heard the number reported by Huo Ran, his expression still froze for a moment.
"Three million, how much money have you prepared now? Are you planning to buy it in the city center?"
"I have this idea, but I haven't gone to see the house yet. I need to prepare the money first so that I can have the confidence to go see the house, right?"
"That's the truth. It seems that you already have a specific plan."
Huo Ran said with a proud smile: "It's necessary. I have convinced my parents to sell the house in the county and go back to my hometown. After selling the house, I can get hundreds of thousands, and their savings still have a few hundred thousand, and then
In addition, my savings over the years can reach 100,000, which can roughly make up one million. Adding your three million, four million should be enough."
Zhou Chen was really speechless. Sure enough, how could a person who could hang out with a person like He Fei and fake a car accident be a good person?
Look at what he said. He paid 4 million to buy a house, and asked him to contribute 3 million. He also asked his parents to sell the house and live in their hometown, and then put up a deposit. As a result, he only had a deposit of 100,000.
He has such a big face and is so selfish.
"He Fei, your wife is worth hundreds of millions and is the major shareholder of Xingchuan Group. Three million shouldn't be a problem for you. Don't worry, I lent you this money. When I have money, I will definitely pay it back.
for you."
Zhou Chen was confused in his heart. He only had a deposit of 100,000 yuan after working for seven or eight years. He didn't know where he got the confidence to earn 3 million yuan.
"Three million is not a small amount."
"Your wife is so rich, and now she has your child. You can't spend her money freely. Three million is a piece of cake for you."
Zhou Chen deliberately showed a melancholy expression: "It's not as simple as you said. She helped me pay off gambling debts several times, but now she doesn't give me much money anymore. Why am I staying with her at home every day recently? I just want to
I have to please her and let her see how good I am, so I could lend you so much money before, otherwise you think I won’t go to work now, where will the money come from?”
Huo Ran asked doubtfully: "No way, I remember you lost 10 million a few months ago. Didn't your wife help you pay it back?"
"Yes, it was because of this that she almost divorced me, and then I had to keep a low profile. My wife graduated from a prestigious foreign school after all. Do you really think she is stupid? In fact, she is smart."
"Then you mean you can't lend me three million anymore?"
Huo Ran's face suddenly became very ugly, and he stared at Zhou Chen suspiciously. He did not believe Zhou Chen's words. After all, he was a roommate who had lived with him for two years. He knew what his roommate was like.
Character.
Zhou Chen said: "It's not that I can't borrow it, it's that I can't take it out now. My wife is getting closer and closer to her delivery date, so she will become more and more dependent on me, so you have to give me some time to wait for her to let me take control of the family."
I can lend you financial power, let alone three million, five million, or ten million."
Huo Ran, who was still very dissatisfied at first, his eyes lit up when he heard five million or ten million.
"real?"
"Of course, I have no reason to lie to you. You want money, and I want money more than you. I haven't gambled for more than half a year. Do you know how uncomfortable I feel?"
"Yes, I can understand."
Huo Ran had no doubts. He and He Fei had known each other for several years. Being able to risk helping He Fei cause a car accident meant that they had a good relationship before.
He knew very well what kind of person He Fei was. He was extremely addicted to gambling. He would believe He Fei if he quit women, but he wouldn't believe it if He Fei quit gambling.
"How long will it take to wait? There has to be a deadline. As you know, I am not young anymore, and the old man is anxious to have his grandson, so this house must be arranged as soon as possible."
"This is not a matter of urgency. You can go to see the house first. Choosing a house is also a time-consuming matter. If you find a girlfriend, you can take her to see the house together. It will show your ability and it will be easier to succeed.
That’s it.”
"Is this the truth?" Huo Ran was a little confused.
Zhou Chen said: "Of course, the first condition for women who are rushing to get married now is a house. As long as you have a house in the magic city, everything will fall into place. Isn't that what you planned too."
