Chapter 33 (2/2)

Zhou Xiao secretly wished he was the owner of the stationery shop so that he could make Chen Hansheng kneel.

“I’ll help you get started. The rest is up to you.”

Qi Wei took the initiative to open the glass door and said “Hello, Mr. Feng. I’m here to disturb you again.”

“If you really feel that you’re disturbing me, then don’t come.”

The owner of this stationery store was called Feng Jihua. He was in his forties, balding, wore glasses, and had pretty high cheekbones. One could tell just by looking at him that he would not be an easy person to deal with.

In the face of Mr. Feng’s sarcasm, Qi Wei embarrassedly said, “We will be having a freshman party and wondered if you would like to sponsor it.”

Feng Jihua took out a thick account book and slammed it on the counter, prompting Qi Wei to immediately shut up.

“It’s not that I don’t want to. But I also have a lot of loans that I have to deal with. I don’t have the money to sponsor you,” said Feng Jihua as he flipped through the account book and took out an IOU.

A students’ union official complained in a low voice, “It’s the same thing again. Every time we approach him, he would take out his IOU to shoo us away.”

But Chen Hansheng understood the situation quite well. He was a businessman after all. If one did not have the money, why would they be willing to sponsor others?

However, since they were in a competition, Chen Hansheng knew how sneaky the d*mn Zuo Xiaoli had been to set up such a trap. He already knew from before that Feng Jihua would not be a willing sponsor.

“Well, since university students are quite capable, how about this? If you help me settle my debt, I’ll sponsor your event.”

Feng Jihua stared at the students. The students were indeed capable. But they lacked the social skills so he knew they would not be able to succeed.

Zhou Xiao was the happiest here. He signaled Zuo Xiaoli to quickly announce the results of the competition. He couldn’t help but prepare to attack Chen Hansheng.

Chen Hansheng noticed how excited Zhou Xiao was becoming as he walked out and asked, “Mr. Feng, are there any businesses nearby that owe you money?”

Feng Jihua had been feeling quite proud of himself for the response he had given earlier and wasn’t prepared to receive a question from one of them. When he threw out his trump card, the students would simply retreat in the face of difficulties. It was rare for someone to dare ask.

“You plan to help me collect the debt?”

“My abilities are limited but I can settle things for you by this afternoon,” said Chen Hansheng.

Feng Jihua sized up Chen Hansheng. He was tall, big, and not ugly at all. However, there was an unruly confidence in his demeanor.

“There is one nearby.”

The stationery store owner, Feng Jihua, flipped through the account book and looked up something. “It’s the fruit store across the street.”

“Where’s the loan slip?” Chen Hansheng asked.

“That’s the problem. At the time, there were two copies of it, but the one I kept was lost. After he found out, he refused to admit that there was a loan. Otherwise, I would have asked it back long ago,” said Feng Jihua.

Chen Hansheng started to think, and then asked, “How much does he owe you?”

“2,500 yuan.”

Chen Hansheng nodded. After pondering for a while, he suddenly shouted, “Yang Shizhao, Shaoqiang, Zhu Chenglong, wanna come?”

“What’s there to be afraid of?”

“Hansheng, don’t doubt my loyalty.”

“Class President, your word is my command.”

With that, he strode across the street to the fruit store with his gang. The other students also followed curiously. Only Zhou Xiao was left with Zuo Xiaoli “Shouldn’t I be the one to win?”

Zuo Xiaoli had originally thought that he had a 100% chance of winning. Now that something had gone wrong, he impatiently said, “If you ask me, who the f*ck am I going to ask?”
