Chapter 28 : Xia Shiyu’s Thoughts

Su Lin sat down next to Xia Shiyu and placed a template IOU in front of her. “Just write according to this template.”

When Xia Shiyu saw the template, her eyes were filled with gratitude. “Su Lin, did you already plan to lend me the money?”

Su Lin nodded, “Of course. Considering our entire Jiangning First High School, there are only a few people with the capability to help you. Xiaowan has the ability, but she herself doesn’t have that much money. I’m different; my money is self-earned, so lending it to you is no burden.”

“After careful consideration, I realized that if I didn’t help you, what would you do? If Uncle Xia really passed away, you would be completely alone with no one to rely on, and your relatives would fight over the inheritance. You might even lose your house, living at other’s mercy.”

“Su Lin~!” Xia Shiyu covered her mouth with one hand and quickly picked up a pen to sign the IOU.

Seeing this, Su Lin smiled. When Xia Shiyu hesitated at the amount section on the IOU, Su Lin suggested, “Let’s start with six hundred thousand. Uncle Xia will need to stay in the hospital for some time after the surgery.”

“Okay!!” Xia Shiyu had already figured it out. Eight hundred thousand might take her ten or twenty years to repay. She would use the latter half of her life to repay Su Lin. Even if Su Lin did something excessive to her, she was willing.

After all, in this world of 2002, the economy was comparable to Earth’s 2010, and everyone was earning around two thousand. Eight hundred thousand was a huge sum, not everyone could afford it, and certainly not everyone would be willing to lend it.

With this thought in mind, Xia Shiyu stopped being pretentious. She was very fast and signed the IOU in a few minutes. “Su Lin, do I need to put my fingerprint on the IOU?”

“No, it’s just a formality. What fingerprint? I don’t have red mud in my home.” Su Lin chuckled.

“Haha, aren’t you afraid that I won’t pay up?”

“Hahaha, Xia Shiyu, even if I didn’t let you sign this IOU, you would remember it very clearly.”

“Um, okay.”

“The IOU is signed. Now, sign the contract.”

Xia Shiyu took the contract without even looking at it and signed it directly.

“Don’t you want to look at the contents of the contract? This is a work contract. Your future work content is all in it. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll sell you off?” Su Lin raised his eyebrows.

“Sell me? I don’t think I’m worth sixty thousand even if I’m sold. As for the job description, you can tell me later.” Xia Shiyu said sweetly.

With Su Lin taking out the IOU to preserve her self-esteem regarding her father’s surgery, Xia Shiyu realized that she couldn’t live without this man for the rest of her life.

“Hehe, what if this is a contract to sell yourself, the kind that requires you to warm the bed at night?”

“Hehe! Then I will warm your bed every day.”

“Uh…” Su Lin rubbed her head. “Stupid girl.”

“I’m not stupid. You’re the stupid one.” Xia Shiyu pouted.

“And you say you’re not silly, investing eighty thousand and losing it all.” Su Lin teased.

“This will be the only wrong investment I will make in my life,” Xia Shiyu said seriously.

Thinking back to when Ye Feng had promised her with certainty that there was no risk and she would definitely make a profit, Xia Shiyu wanted to slap herself. She didn’t know what kind of spell Ye Feng cast on her for her to believe his nonsense.

Su Lin nodded, “I believe you. A setback is a lesson learned. I’m sure you won’t encounter such an awkward situation in your investments next time.”

“Hehe, why should I invest? I’ll just work hard for you in the future.”

Su Lin smiled but didn’t say anything. This girl would have a lot of opportunities to invest in the future. He knew how strong her business talent was. Managing a trillion-dollar corporation by herself would be no problem. It couldn’t be helped. The female leads in novels were just that crazy.

“Okay, it’s all signed.”

Su Lin picked up the contract and said, “One for each person. From today on, you will now be working for me.”

“Then boss, what should I do now?” Xia Shiyu looked at Su Lin and smiled sweetly.

Having solved the issue of her father’s surgery, Xia Shiyu felt like a thousand pounds had been lifted off her shoulders, and she became much more relaxed.

She had never completely let go, living a very suppressed life, bordering on despair. Especially when Ye Feng told her that all the investment money was lost, she felt the urge to die.

But when she remembered that her father was still lying in the hospital bed, she could only force herself to stay strong.

Until Su Lin appeared and made some ‘slip of the hand’ actions towards her, did she realize that in this world, there was not only family but also love and her love had already appeared at some point in time.

“You don’t have to worry about Uncle Xia’s surgery anymore. Do you want to celebrate?” Su Lin suggested.

Xia Shiyu nodded. “Okay, since there’s no class tomorrow, let’s celebrate. But it’s already so late. How do we celebrate?”

Su Lin laughed. “The house lacks everything except cigarettes and alcohol. Wait here, I’ll go get it.”

Seeing Su Lin rush away eagerly, Xia Shiyu was also filled with anticipation. After being in the villa for so long, Xia Shiyu finally had the mood to look at some of the furnishings and decorations in Su Lin’s home.

Su Lin’s villa was a typical duplex villa with an outer courtyard and a garage. In addition to the sofa, the living room walls had an old-looking calligraphy painting. Although Xia Shiyu didn’t understand, she could tell that the painting was extraordinary. It seemed to be the handwriting of some ancient tycoon.

The villa’s decoration leaned towards an antique style, with a cold color scheme. However, Xia Shiyu didn’t feel a stuffy atmosphere. On the contrary, she felt that this kind of decoration was very retro, with a unique style.

Soon Xia Shiyu’s attention was quickly drawn to the coffee table. Under the coffee table were many photos, mostly of Su Lin in his childhood, which looked very cute.

“Shiyu… Shiyu, what are you doing? You’re so focused.”

“Su Lin, I didn’t expect you to be so cute when you were a child.”

Su Lin followed Xia Shiyu’s gaze and saw that there was a photo of a child who was about five or six years old. He was riding on a small wooden horse, wearing a cape and holding a wooden sword in his hand like a general going to war.

“Uh…. these were taken at the photo studio before.”

“Hehe, so cute.”

Saying that, Xia Shiyu pinched Su Lin’s face, “Too bad, your face was chubby back then, and now it’s all slim.”

“It’s normal for it to slim down.” Su Lin grabbed Xia Shiyu’s hand to stop her from pinching further.

“Let me pinch a few more times; you just pinched my face earlier.”

“Ahem….”
