Chapter 97 Yan Jiecheng, who was frightened away
In fact, Li Qin was quite surprised when he heard that Yan Jiecheng wanted to use a year's salary to buy a job at the steel rolling mill.
Because it is very similar to the excuse he prepared for himself.
Upon hearing Li Qin's explanation, Yan Jiecheng's face also showed a look of surprise.
However, he then became somewhat puzzled;
"Who is so generous as to lend you so much money at once and even allow you to pay it back slowly? That's an incredible philanthropist!"
Upon hearing Yan Jiecheng's words, Li Qin knew that Yan Jiecheng was interested.
A strange smile suddenly appeared on his lips:
Hopefully, Yan Jiecheng won't back down after he finishes speaking.
Li Qin feigned a bitter smile at this moment;
"A great philanthropist? You can say that after you've heard the whole story."
"Although I spent 600 yuan to buy the job and I also borrowed 600 yuan, it doesn't mean I only need to pay back 600 yuan."
According to my agreement with the other party, I must repay 650 yuan within two years. If I fail to do so, I will not only have to transfer my job to the other party.
Furthermore, the outstanding debt still needs to be repaid. If the repayment is delayed by one month, an additional ten yuan in interest will be charged each month.
At this point, Li Qin looked worried and said to Yan Jiecheng;
Do you still think that people who lend money are great philanthropists?
Yan Jiecheng had just considered buying a job at the steel rolling mill, just like Li Qin had.
But after hearing Li Qin's words, it was as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over him, sending a chill straight to his bones.
As a descendant of a family of strategists, Yan Jiecheng may have other average abilities, but his calculation skills are absolutely outstanding.
According to Li Qin, he quickly settled all the accounts.
From this perspective, the person who lent money to Li Qin was not a benevolent person at all, but a ruthless demon who would devour people without spitting out their bones.
If Li Qin fails to repay the money on time, he will not only have to give the job he bought back to the other party, but he will also have to continue to repay the loan in full.
Moreover, there are high interest rates.
Yan Jiecheng had also heard Yan Bugui mention that there used to be loan sharks, but he never expected that Li Qin would encounter someone similar.
At that moment, he had no thoughts at all.
However, Yan Jiecheng looked at Li Qin with some confusion;
"You're not stupid, you should be able to do the math. How could you do something like this? Aren't you worried that you'll end up with nothing?"
Li Qin then feigned a bitter expression and said:
"But what else can I do? I'm different from you. If I don't take stable action, I can't transfer my household registration to Beijing."
Naturally, I won't have any food rations, and I can only afford to eat expensive food every month. I'm currently at the point where I can eat a lot, and I can't sustain myself with odd jobs for long.
If this continues, I'll either starve to death or die from exhaustion before long.
Since that's the case, why not take a gamble?
As he said this, a look of madness flashed in Li Qin's eyes, and a maniacal smile appeared on his face:
Seeing Li Qin exuding a manic aura, Yan Jiecheng subconsciously took a small step back.
A hint of pity crept into their eyes as they looked at Li Qin.
Although he also does odd jobs, he has a Beijing hukou (household registration), so he receives a fixed amount of money each month.
Perhaps not much, but there was something, while Li Qin had none at all.
Looking at the room in front of him, although it was clean and tidy to the point of being spotless, it was also empty with almost nothing in it. Looking at Li Qin's thin body, Yan Jiecheng suddenly understood Li Qin's thoughts.
"Okay, I've told you everything about my work. Please don't spread it around, or it might cause trouble."
Li Qin suddenly suppressed the madness on his face and then seriously warned Yan Jiecheng.
It's possible that Li Qin's acting skills were truly exceptional, completely deceiving Yan Jiecheng.
Yan Jiecheng heeded Li Qin's advice.
He nodded seriously;
"I understand!"
When Yan Bugui told them about the loan sharks of the old days, he said that those people were ruthless.
Moreover, the waters behind this are very deep.
He also has a large number of subordinates.
If you provoke them, it might bring disaster to your family.
Yan Jiecheng had by now completely identified with the people Li Qin was talking about.
Naturally, he dared not casually spread the word about Li Qin borrowing money.
However, not spreading rumors doesn't mean not saying anything.
Yan Jiecheng will definitely tell his family at least.
A secret is called a secret because only one person knows it. Once a second person knows it, it can no longer be called a secret.
If the Yan family finds out, then it won't be long before the whole courtyard knows.
All of this was intentional on Li Qin's part; he needed to find a reasonable explanation for buying the job and the source of the money for it.
As for how to cover up this lie, that's even simpler.
There are only a few days left until the May Day holiday. Before that, he will deliver a batch of meat to the steel mill. This meat is ostensibly obtained from the hunters.
Although the money will eventually end up in Li Qin's hands, he has no intention of using it.
He planned to tell the hunters that they had given him a wild boar out of gratitude for his help when he delivered the meat.
In this way, he had his first legitimate income.
At least the house renovation issue can be explained.
In the future, he also plans to openly learn shooting and archery.
Once he had a certain foundation, he would occasionally bring some wild game to the steel mill, claiming that he had hunted it himself.
After a while, he can announce that he has paid off all the money he spent on buying the job.
At this point, everything has formed a closed loop.
Although there are still some loopholes, as long as no one investigates thoroughly and insists on it, it will basically not be exposed.
Li Qin had already thought all of this through before he went to see Li Huaide.
"Alright, I've told you everything I should and shouldn't have told you. Now you should be fine, and I should go to work."
After all, I still have a large debt to pay off, so I can't afford to relax.
Yan Jiefang had no intention of talking anymore and left the room with Li Qin.
Li Qin closed the door behind him and left the courtyard, heading towards the steel rolling mill.
Yan Jiecheng took a deep look at Li Qin's back before heading home.
His face was full of disappointment.
I thought I could get a way to get a job at the steel rolling mill from Li Qin, but I never expected the truth to be so "cruel".
He was originally filled with jealousy and envy that Li Qin was able to work at the steel rolling mill;
Although he still longs to work at the steel mill, he no longer feels jealous of Li Qin; on the contrary, he feels a bit of sympathy for him.
In his view, Li Qin's actions were simply like drinking water to quench thirst.
Although it may solve the immediate problem, it will only lead to a more miserable end in the end.
Thinking of this, a complex expression suddenly flashed across Yan Jiecheng's face.
Although the Yan family liked to scheme, they still had some bottom line. Seeing Li Qin's predicament, Yan Jiecheng felt somewhat distressed.
But he was just an ordinary nobody, with no ability to help others.
So all I can do is feel sorry for Li Qin in my heart.
Besides that, he can't do anything, and he doesn't know how to do anything.
