Chapter 2

Jiang Liushi checked his phone over and over, and suddenly saw the icon of a foxy guy . An idea popped into his head .

The foxy man had shiny hair and was wearing a pair of sunglasses . He was called Ma Hao . He was very well-known in school, not because of his talents, but his strong connections . No wonder Jiang and Ma were QQ friends .

Ma Hao and Jiang Liushi were two different people . Jiang was a simple man, who was not very social . Except his classmates, very few people knew him .

Jiang vaguely remembered that he had heard from Li Jun that Ma Hao had a friend who gave loans to students . In order to borrow money, some girls went as far as to give him indecent photos .

If they did not pay him back, then their private information and pictures were released to the public, sent to their classmates, or even to their families .

Jiang Liushi had been speechless when he'd heard this . He could not understand why some girls would go that far just to satisfy their vanity . Ma Hao often took girls' indecent photos from his friends and sent them to the student's group "to share" . Many classmates would then comment on them . Of course, Jiang Liushi did not feel sympathy for those girls .

Originally, Jiang Liushi had felt that he could never associate with them, but now he believed it was an excellent opportunity .

Jiang Liushi called Ma Hao and waited a bit before he answered .

"Ma Hao, can your friend lend me some money?" Jiang got straight to the point .

Ma Hao soon replied, "No problem, just send me your student ID . "

Jiang sent a photo of his student card right away . Ma Hao confirmed and asked, "How much do you want to borrow?"

"20,000 yuan!" Jiang said bluntly . According to his understanding, 20,000 yuan should be the highest amount . After all, his family background was not a secret and Ma Hao could casually inquire about it .

Obviously, Ma Hao was shocked; for a student, 20,000 yuan was a significant amount . Many girls borrowed just a thousand or even hundreds .

"What do you want to do? You don't need that money for an abortion, right?" Ma Hao asked .

"It's for something important . Don't ask, just tell me the conditions," Jiang said .

"En...Well, give me your student card as well as your home address . You should also write me an IOU for 25,000 yuan . Meanwhile, record a video of the IOU, reading the above content willingly . When you pay me back, I will destroy it in front of you . "

"When will you pay me back?" Ma Hao asked .

"In a month," Jiang Liushi said .

"You should pay me back in time . I trust you because we are classmates . " Ma Hao said .

"Okay," Jiang Liushi said in a low voice . The interest of this loan was unfairly high, and Jiang knew that his so-called friend would get a share in this .

Ma Hao seemed very comfortable, as if he did not worry about it at all . If Jiang Liushi did not pay him back, Ma Hao would make him beg for death .

Jiang Liushi sneered inside . What interest? What threat? Would I have time to care about Ma Hao while the end of the world is approaching?

In the afternoon, Jiang Liushi found a good car-rental company on the Internet . Then he went to sign the IOU contract with Ma Hao and get the money .

Ma Hao transferred the money to Jiang through the phone . Meanwhile, he curiously looked him up and down and asked, "What on earth do you want to do?"

"It's for something big . You will know about it in a week," Jiang mysteriously said .

Ma Hao had nothing to say . He suddenly regretted lending .

Jiang Liushi's matters were not important to him . Ma Hao was relieved, because he knew that no student dared not pay back the money they owed him .

After getting the money, Jiang Liushi immediately rushed to the car-rental company .

There was a small number of minibuses, so it was hard to get one . Jiang had asked all car-rental companies he had found on the Internet, and only one had a minibus available . The car-rental company urged him to go as soon as possible because they could only reserve the minibus for two hours or so . Jiang Liushi hurried and arrived an hour ahead . Seeing the sign of the store, he felt relieved .

The company was not large and had a simple layout . Behind the reception desk was a lively, sweet girl with a ponytail .

The girl was dressed in a very simple uniform, which made her look clean and elegant . She must have been 18 or 19 years old . When he arrived, she was talking with another client in a suit . She gave him a sweet smile, indicating that he had to wait . Seeing this vivacious girl, Jiang Liushi was stunned for a moment . She was very young to be working in a place like this .

As Jiang sat on the sofa, he saw the corner of a sixth-level English vocabulary book under some official documents . He realized that the girl had to be a student, and may even be his classmate; she had to be working part-time there .

This car-rental company was not far from the university . It was cost effective to hire a sweet girl as a receptionist, and it could also boost the business .

"Hello, I am Wen Xiaotian, a client manager . You can call me Xiaowen . I'm glad to be of service to you . " Wen Xiaotian had probably said the same words to the other client . Her elegant appearance along with the commercial greeting gave him a very pleasant feeling . It was unconstrained, but somewhat cute .

"Hello, I booked a minibus online . . . " Jiang Liushi stood up and said .

"Ah . . . this . . . " With a somewhat embarrassed expression, Wen Xiaotianl replied, "I'm so sorry, the gentleman in the suit just rented the last minibus . . . "

She was the one who had approved that online order . However, the minibus had been rented by her boss, and she felt really embarrassed .

She was just an employee though; how could she influence her boss's decision?

"I'm really sorry . You have to wait and re-book . In a few days, another minibus will be available . By that time, the client will also have returned the minibus," Wen Xiaotian said regrettably .

Jiang Liushi was stunned for a moment . How could he wait for such a long time? This car was the only one . He could not think of any other way . He suddenly asked, "Has he paid yet?"

"Not yet, but he is about to sign the contract," Wen Xiaotian replied with a puzzled expression; she did not know why he had asked this .

The client in the suit glanced at Jiang with a faint smile . He could see Jiang Luishi's anxious face, but he had been a minute too late .

"Oh, so he hasn't paid yet . Then tell your boss I will add an additional 200 a day for two weeks . There will be no abrasions, because I will use it in the city," Jiang Liushi said .

Wen Xiaotian was perplexed for a moment . She just stood there wondering what to do; it was the first time she had to deal with something like that .

"I will add 300 yuan!" Seeing Wen Xiaotian not replying, Jiang increased the price again .

Wen Xiaotian was hesitant . It was a big amount, and Jiang Liushi looked very anxious . "Sir, I have to ask my boss," she replied .

The other client just sat there silently with an unreadable expression . He thought that Jiang was the scion of a wealthy family .

"You can rent it to him," the man in the suit said . He knew the boss would immediately agree, so there was no need to ask .

"I'm so sorry . You have to wait until this weekend, but then I will provide you a new one . You see, this client seems to need it urgently . . . " Wen Xiaotian quickly apologized .

Jiang Liushi looked like a 20 year-old student, so the other client could not help but ask, "Young man, why do you want to rent it for so long?"

"Just cause . . . " Jiang said .

"Just cause...?" Perhaps today's youngsters really were becoming more egotistical .

Jiang Liushi did not care what others thought about him, especially as the end of the world was approaching .

Jiang soon signed a contract with the leasing company . He skimmed through the contract, and sure enough, this kind of leasing agreement was very harsh on the customer . Frequently, there were all sorts of insurance . Even a scratch on it could cost a lot of money .

He just glanced at it and signed it .

This car would be getting a lot more than just a few scratches in the future...

"We need to keep your ID card," Wen Xiaotian said with smile .

Swish!

Jiang Liushi had long been ready to give his ID card and take the car keys .

Just as he was two steps away from the door, Jiang went back and said, "Can you help me find a driver?"

He did not have a driver's license yet . . .
