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

Chapter 1437 Don't take love tests lightly, otherwise...

“Right now, Xie Xize’s friend has said he’ll come to pick him up, but the boss told me to keep making calls, saying that Xie Xize is already working part-time here, so his friend probably isn’t any better. If I make a few more calls, I should be able to raise enough money for the vase.” The man finished speaking in one breath before stopping, waiting for Azhen’s reaction.

Azhen asked in a flustered tone, "How much is that vase worth?"

For a college student from an ordinary family, an antique vase is priceless; how could they possibly afford to produce it? Naturally, they would be flustered.

“I don’t know yet. Xie Xize isn’t planning to just lose money like this. He feels the boss cheated him and is demanding an appraisal. I think it’s probably true,” the man said in a low voice. “The boss agreed to his request, saying he’ll see how many of Xie Xize’s friends are willing to come and help, and then they’ll get an appraisal. If any of his friends are willing to come, he’ll get a 10% discount. To be honest, although the boss is a bit fierce, I think he’s a decent person and hasn’t deliberately made things difficult for Xie Xize. So, you shouldn’t make a big fuss. If Xie Xize has many friends willing to come, the compensation should be less.”

"If you come over, there will be three of us, and we can get a 30% discount," the person added.

Putting aside the boss's eccentric personality, the client was genuinely relieved to hear this. She knew Xie Xize had a few good friends. However, she didn't dare gamble; after all, it was an antique vase, priceless. Even if the boss was willing to offer a discount, if not enough people showed up or the price was outrageously high, even a 90% discount would be enough to cover their losses.

They've already detained Xie Xize there; who would want to get into trouble? If the relationship isn't that close, no one would want to get involved in such a mess.

At that time, the client thought that this boss really knew how to manipulate human nature. He understood that even if he explained things clearly, it would be difficult for Xie Xize to gather ten friends to come.

She didn't think it was all a setup, nor did she think the boss was playing around. Perhaps he just wanted to have some fun and amuse himself. It's perfectly normal for some rich people to have a few quirks.

She didn't think much of it at the time. She asked for the address and rushed over, her heart filled with worry for Xie Xize.

Even on the way, she called someone she and Xie Xize both knew to explain the situation. However, no one was willing to get into trouble for such a thing, and in the end, only she arrived at the bar.

When she arrived, there were several of Xie Xize's friends there, and she felt somewhat fortunate.

"Can I talk to Xie Xize?" Azhen asked.

"Wait a minute, let me ask." A voice came from the other end, then quickly fell silent again, probably because the microphone was covered.

About a minute later, Xie Xize's voice rang out: "Xiao Zhen, it's me. Don't worry too much. If the vase is identified as a genuine antique and I can't pay back the debt, I'll stay here and work. The boss didn't do anything to me, so don't worry. I just talked to the boss and agreed not to force you to help pay off the debt. He just wanted to see if some of my friends would come over later."

“Okay, I’ll be right there,” Azhen said.

"Well, the boss is actually a pretty good guy. I didn't want to call you guys before because I didn't want to involve you, but he said he wouldn't force you to pay it back. If I really can't pay it back, I'll just stay here and work, then I won't have to worry about anything." Xie Xize sighed. "Are you going to your part-time job today? Will that be a problem?"

“What time is it? Why are you still talking about this? I’ll go over there first and take care of your business. I’ll call my employer to ask for leave,” A-Zhen said.

Xie Xize paused for a moment, then said, "I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble." Azhen replied dismissively, "It's okay, I know you didn't mean it."

After hanging up the phone, Azhen called her employer to explain that something had happened and she needed to resolve it. The employer was actually quite satisfied with her client, as she had never caused any delays before, and expressed understanding. However, neither of them knew that such incidents would occasionally occur in the future, and even if the employer didn't say anything, the client herself would feel embarrassed.

So she voluntarily resigned from the tutoring job. At the time, the employer was a little reluctant to let her go, but since she was taking time off every now and then, it really wasn't a good thing, so they didn't try to persuade her to stay.

The employer didn't say anything, but asked what it was about. Azhen didn't say much, nor did she press the matter.

A-Zhen carried her bag out of the dormitory building, exited the school gate, and took a taxi directly there.

Less than an hour later, the car stopped in front of the bar where Xie Xize worked part-time. There were even people looking around at the entrance, and when they saw Azhen, they came up to ask if she was Xie Xize's friend.

After she explained her identity, she was invited inside.

A few minutes later, she arrived at a private room. In the room, besides Xie Xize, there were several other familiar faces: Xu Feng, Zhou Xu, Pei Fei, Jiang Lingxi, and Jiang Baiyue. They were all Xie Xize's friends and also the people who participated in testing the client.

"Xize, are you alright?" Azhen found Xie Xize in the crowd. He was dressed as a waiter and sat in a corner looking very dejected, perfectly portraying the sadness and helplessness of a part-time worker who had broken an antique vase.

When Azhen walked up to Xie Xize, he slowly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot.

Those who didn't know better would think he was in a hurry and feel sorry for him. However, Azhen knew that this guy had simply been playing around all night, and his bloodshot eyes were a result of staying up late. Then, a group of friends who were pretty close together planned this love test.

"Xiao Zhen, have you arrived?" Xie Xize's voice was weak and listless, revealing a hint of despair.

The client comforted him for a long time and took care of his emotions afterwards, fearing that he might not be able to understand the situation and would take a path of no return. She was worried every day and did not sleep well for a long time.

Azhen didn't have that kind of patience. She offered a perfunctory word of comfort, though her tone sounded plausible. Then she got to the point: "Did you really break the boss's antique vase? Has it been appraised?"

Xie Xize pursed his lips and nodded to Azhen: "While you were on the way, the experts already appraised it. It is indeed genuine and is now worth 200 million."

His face turned deathly pale as he uttered those words.

"Xie Xize, time's up. Your friends and your girlfriend make a total of six people, so I'll give you a 40% discount. You only need to compensate me with 40% of the price, a total of 800,000. I didn't expect you, usually so quiet, to have a few good friends and a girlfriend who truly cares for you. Young man, cherish it. However, you still have to pay back the money. Now you can discuss how to pay. If you can't pay it back, you can stay here and work. To be honest, I quite admire you; you'll definitely have a bright future here." At this moment, the tall, somewhat overweight boss, who had been sitting in the corner, walked over with a smile and patted Xie Xize on the shoulder. "If you were here, my wine would sell much faster. Several wealthy women like to buy wine from you." (End of Chapter)
