With the cannon fodder script in hand, it is easy for the king to change his fate

Chapter 1438 Don't take love tests lightly, otherwise...

The bar owner's words made Xie Xize's face turn deathly pale instantly; it really did seem to make sense.

His current persona is that of an ordinary student preparing for postgraduate entrance exams, whose family can't help him much and who relies entirely on part-time jobs to support himself.

Let alone ordinary students, even for ordinary office workers, it's very difficult to come up with 800,000 yuan at once. Even if they sold themselves, they couldn't possibly have that much.

"I can raise 200,000 yuan," Jiang Lingxi said first, her face full of apology. "I can't come up with any more."

Xie Xize said, "I might not be able to pay it back right away."

“It’s alright, I don’t need the 200,000 yuan for now. I have some left for myself, and my parents give me living expenses every month. I’m not in a hurry to use it. You can use it for emergencies. We’re friends, if I don’t help you now, when will I? Would we still be friends?” Jiang Lingxi said, and she really did seem like a very loyal friend.

“Then I’ll scrape together 300,000.” Xu Feng then patted Xie Xize on the shoulder. “My family is doing alright, but they’re quite strict. This is my own savings, so it’s fine to lend it to you. Don’t worry about paying it back. I can’t help you with anything else.”

Xie Xize quickly thanked him, "Xu Feng, thank you."

He looked genuinely grateful, and it seemed like it was for real.

“I can lend you 200,000,” Pei Fei said. “Like them, I’m not in a hurry to use it. I can pay it back whenever I want. After knowing you for so long, I still trust your character. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come here today.”

"I don't have much money, but I'll lend you 50,000," Jiang Baiyue said.

According to A-Zhen, Jiang Baiyue's family background was indeed quite ordinary, but for a college student, being able to come up with 50,000 yuan at once was actually quite good. Jiang Baiyue was said to be Jiang Lingxi's good friend, or more accurately, her follower. Being with Jiang Lingxi had indeed broadened her horizons, increased her perspective, and naturally led to more opportunities.

To change one's current situation and social standing, one simply needs knowledge, beauty, and a bit of luck.

It's unclear how Jiang Lingxi views this little follower, but Jiang Baiyue's life has indeed gotten better and better since she started hanging out with Jiang Lingxi.

However, Jiang Baiyue didn't feel any pain taking out the 50,000 yuan right now, naturally because this whole thing was just a setup specifically for the client. After this charade ended, Xie Xize would definitely return the money he borrowed to her, and perhaps even more than 50,000 yuan.

In the blink of an eye, Xie Xize's friends had raised 750,000 yuan for him.

The bar owner smiled and praised, "Your friends are really good, quite genuine. Although we lost a nice antique vase today, I'm still very happy to see this."

"The remaining 50,000 yuan should be easy to scrape together."

At this moment, Zhou Xu stepped forward: "I don't have much living expenses, I can only scrape together five thousand yuan at most." He glanced at Xie Xize, "Sorry, I can't help you with anything."

Before Azhen could speak, Jiang Lingxi spoke first: "Yanzhen, how much can you raise? By the way, Xize, how much do you have left? But you all need to keep your living expenses safe. If you can't raise enough, I'll think of another way."

A-Lan followed the client's previous answer: "I can barely scrape together 30,000. I currently have over 20,000, and if I borrow some more online, getting 30,000 shouldn't be a problem." Originally, the client only said she could scrape together 30,000 without mentioning borrowing money online, but A-Lan wanted to bring it up.

Actually, if she could, she wouldn't want to scrape together 30,000 yuan.

However, these are all necessary procedures to fulfill the client's wishes.

After all, the client had used all their luck to create a special ability that only applied to these few people. She had to fulfill this wish for them. Going through some procedures was fine; it wasn't a troublesome matter.

“That leaves 15,000.” Jiang Lingxi did the math and looked at Xie Xize. “Can you come up with 15,000? If not, I’ll borrow some from my friends. I have a few good friends who might be able to help us out.”

“I have 10,000 yuan on hand, and if I pool my resources, I can make 15,000 yuan. I can also borrow some online, and that should be enough,” Xie Xize said, letting out a long sigh. His eyes were filled with gratitude as he looked at everyone, as if it were a real thing.

After thanking everyone else, Xie Xize looked at Azhen with gentle eyes: "Xiaozhen, thank you for coming today. I'm sorry to have troubled you. You were saying you wanted to go to the finals, and you've been saving up for so long, but now you probably can't go. But it's not time yet. I'll do part-time jobs whenever I have free time and try to save up enough money for you to go to the finals."

"No, thank you," Azhen said. "You still owe your friends money, so there's no need to spend it elsewhere. Let's pay off our debts first. There are competitions every year, and more than one each year. We'll have plenty of time to go later."

"Xiao Zhen, thank you." Xie Xize was deeply moved. At this moment, he was truly touched. He even took advantage of A Zhen's inattention to give Jiang Lingxi and the others a look that said he had won.

Azhen noticed a sudden change in Jiang Lingxi's expression; clearly, she was dissatisfied with the result and even felt somewhat displeased.

Xu Feng and the others didn't show anything unusual. In fact, for them, this was just a test game. It was fun and they liked to play it. Anyway, they weren't the ones being played, so of course they wanted to have fun.

Xie Xize, still smug at the moment, will never know that true friends would never easily encourage him to play such childish love tests. He thought he was testing his girlfriend's sincerity and their love, but in reality, there might be someone here laughing at him.

But he is the young master of the Xie family, so no one would openly speak ill of him; they would only flatter him.

The next step was for Azhen and the others to transfer the money they had lent to Xie Xize to the bar owner.

"Alright, consider this a settlement. Considering you have so many good friends, you can continue working here. But be careful from now on, don't break anything again, and watch where you're going." The bar owner smiled broadly, seemingly genuinely pleased to see such a heartfelt scene and moved by it.

The client remembered feeling genuinely fortunate to have met this nice bar owner.

Otherwise, two million is really not something that a few students could raise.

As for the part-time job at the bar, after hearing what the bar owner said, the client felt it was dangerous for Xie Xize to stay there, and later advised Xie Xize to find another part-time job. (End of this chapter)
