Chapter Sixteen: The Green Tea Crisis
When Xu Rou got out of the back seat, her colleagues from the same company stared wide-eyed.
She usually looks like an ordinary person, so how could she afford to ride in such a luxury car?
After Paramela left, they immediately gathered around Xu Rou.
"Xu Rou, was that your boyfriend who gave you that just now? A Panamera, wow, he's so rich!"
"Exactly, that's so unfair. She has such a rich boyfriend, but she never tells him anything."
Xu Rou really didn't want to get involved with Gu Tingyan, but seeing the envious looks from everyone, she swallowed her denial for some reason.
These colleagues usually ignore her because she wears cheap clothes.
Because she had the least connections, her boss always assigned her the most tiring tasks in the group.
"That's great. If I had a rich second-generation boyfriend to back me up, I would definitely yell back at Zhou Bapi if he tried to find fault with me again."
“Zhou Bapi is a snob who only cares about the rich and powerful. If he knew you had a powerful boyfriend, he definitely wouldn’t dare to make things difficult for you.”
The two teased each other, then winked at Xu Rou.
"Xu Rou, what's your boyfriend's background? There aren't many people in the entire city of Beijing who can afford his car!"
Xu Rou tightened her grip on her bag, lowered her head, said "I don't know" and hurriedly went into the company.
The two were somewhat dissatisfied with her secretive attitude, but they didn't boss her around like they used to.
Within a day, the news that Xu Rou had a rich boyfriend spread throughout the company.
Her boss, who used to make things difficult for her, seemed to have changed completely, and her colleagues became much more harmonious.
Suddenly a phone call came in, and Xu Rou, who had been in a daze all day, was jolted awake. It was Zhou Zeran.
She quickly went to the side to answer the phone, feeling inexplicably guilty: "Brother Zeran, why are you calling me all of a sudden?"
On the other end of the phone, Zhou Zeran sounded pained.
"Xiaorou, those loan companies won't let me go. They say the interest has already ballooned to 100,000."
"They want me to come up with 200,000 yuan for them today, or they'll cut off my hand."
Xu Rou gasped, then covered her mouth, forcing herself to calm down.
"Brother Zeran, don't be afraid, they're loan sharks, let's call the police..."
Zhou Zeran's scream immediately rang out from the other end, and an unfamiliar male voice sounded from the other end of the receiver.
"Transfer 100,000 yuan in interest to this account within half an hour, or you will receive a package containing a bloody arm."
Zhou Zeran has been taken into custody by the loan company, and they were just on speakerphone.
"This is my own business, please don't hurt Xiaorou."
"Xiaorou, don't worry, you don't need to worry about this—ahhhhh!"
The call was cut off. Xu Rou was extremely anxious and tried to call back, but the phone was already switched off.
Her face turned pale, and without saying a word, she was about to transfer the money.
However, the balance displayed is insufficient.
Credit cards can only be used for purchases, not for transfers.
She really didn't want to bow down to Gu Tingyan again.
After hesitating for a while, she finally dialed another number.
“Ah Yu…”
......
On the other side, the Gu family's old residence.
Li Yan is still searching the world for a way to cure her eldest son's insomnia.
Finally, she received news that a leading insomnia expert would be arriving in Beijing that evening to attend an academic conference banquet.
She immediately spent a high price to get tickets to the banquet.
That evening, she appeared at the banquet on time, dressed in a red gown.
With a photo in her left hand and champagne in her right, Li Yan frantically searched the venue for her insomnia expert.
