Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty-Three Borrowing Money
Just when Zhien was hesitating whether to call his man and ask him to send money, Chenghao, who was drinking chicken soup, received a call from Zhong Guo.
…………
Previously, in a basement in Seoul, today was the first day that artist Zhuo Jae-hun opened a studio, and it was also the day of filming for the variety show "My Little Kid".
In order to seek good luck, after filming the sacrifice and giving red envelopes and gifts to Zhuo Jae-hun, Kim Jong-kook, Zhuo Jae-hun, Lee Sang-min, and teacher Kim Soo-mi had a simple dinner together, and everyone sat on the sofa to chat.
"If you want to do business, you need to have the same level of trust as in the entertainment industry, so call your best friend now and say that you can pay it off the day after tomorrow and try to borrow some money!"
After chatting for a while, teacher Kim Soo-mei, a senior figure in the entertainment industry of country H, suddenly made an interesting proposal to Zhuo Jae-hun, Kim Jong-kook, and Lee Sang-min who were sitting across from the sofa.
"Uh!" Faced with Teacher Jin Shoumei's sudden credit test, Kim Jong Kook and the others were obviously stunned.
“Don’t you have any friends around who can lend you money?”
Seeing a few people looking dazed, Teacher Jin Shoumei asked again.
There is no way. You must know that in country H, borrowing money is a very test of relationship. Even if you personally think that you are a very close friend, when it comes to borrowing money, they will generally not lend it to you.
Therefore, Chinese people generally do not borrow money from friends because they know that it is difficult to borrow money and they do not want to embarrass their friends and themselves.
"Do you want to fight now?" Qiong Shangmin reacted and looked at Teacher Jin Shoumei to confirm.
"Yes! Let's fight now." Faced with Li Shangmin's question, Teacher Jin Shoumei nodded affirmatively.
"But Shang Min has nothing to borrow..."
Teacher Kim Soo-mei's affirmation made Zhuo Zaixun couldn't help but laugh. He stretched out his hand and smiled at his friend Li Sangmin across the sofa.
Although he has not finished speaking, everyone here knows that Li Sangmin should have lost billions of won in business.
Although I have been working tenaciously to pay off my debts over the years, it is a fact that I can't even get a credit card until now.
"When it comes to trust, I must be number one."
Faced with the jokes made by his friend Zhuo Jae-hoon, Lee Sang-min didn't care because he was used to such jokes. Even on the show, it was okay because the people were used to it and gave him the title of Poor Sang-min.
.
But there is no mockery in this title, but rather sympathy and sadness.
"Hey, brother? I won't lend you money anyway."
Lee Sang Min's confident words made Kim Jong Kook unable to help but complain.
However, there is no sense of targeting or distrust in the words. The underlying meaning of the joke is, brother, you owe so much money, and I am lending you money. Although you will definitely pay it back, I don’t know how long it will take.
"Hey~." Kim Jong-kook's words left Lee Sang-min speechless, and also elicited a burst of good-natured laughter from teacher Kim Soo-mi and Zhuo Jae-hun.
"Actually, I personally don't like owing money to others, as it would feel burdensome."
Lee Sang-min's failure caused Zhuo Jae-hun to quickly emphasize his credibility.
"But to be honest, if it was you two brothers who asked me to borrow money, I would..."
Faced with Zhuo Zaixun's emphasis, Kim Jong-guo's eyes wandered around the two half-matched brothers, and he touched his chin and fell into distress.
"If it were me, you would definitely say you have no money!"
In order to prevent Jong Kook from abandoning him and choosing Lee Sang Min on this issue, Zhuo Jae Hoon, who lacked confidence, took over the conversation directly and frankly.
The subtitle team of the later program will also add subtitles here: "If you borrow money, you will not be a stingy country."
"I actually borrowed a lot of money from people very close to me."
Smiling burdened, Kim Jong Kook couldn't help but defend himself.
"Then you try it first."
After hearing what Zhong Guo said, Zhuo Zaixun patted Zhong Guo on the shoulder in disbelief, indicating that the other party should start the call first.
"Me? Okay, how much do we want to borrow?"
Taking out his mobile phone confidently, Zhong Guo looked at everyone present and confirmed the amount.
"Let's borrow a total of 700 million!"
"Hey, who would borrow 700 million?"
When he heard that he wanted to borrow 700 million won, Kim Jong Kook couldn't help but stopped while he was looking for numbers.
“Let’s try it first!”
Seeing the three juniors grinding away at each other, Teacher Jin Shoumei couldn't help but urge them.
"Yeah! Okay! Then I'll call Brother Zhang Hui first to see how much I can get. If it doesn't work, I'll call that younger brother!"
After rummaging through the numbers for a while, Zhong Guo hesitated for a while and decided to temporarily skip the gorgeous consecutive numbers and call the naughty MC Xu Zhanghui.
"Actually, I'm also planning to call Zhang Hui."
Hearing that Zhong Guo was going to call Seo Jang Hui, Lee Sang Min, who was sitting with teacher Kim Soo Mi, was obviously a little panicked.
Originally, this test was still very difficult for Li Sangmin, but the friend in his heart who could borrow money was Xu Zhanghui, a friend who filmed the "Bad Kids" and "Knowing Brother" variety shows with him respectively.
, is definitely the first choice.
"Zhong Guokai is on speakerphone." After teacher Jin Shoumei reminded Li Shangmin to feel uneasy, the phone was connected.
"Hey! Zhong Guo!"
"It's me, brother, what are you doing now!" Listening to the familiar voice coming from the speakerphone, Zhong Guo obviously paused before answering.
"I'm just staying at home! What's wrong, Zhong Guo, do you have something wrong?"
"Brother, I need a sum of money urgently right now. The amount is a bit big and I can't find it. Mom, so brother, do you think you can do it?"
For Zhong Guo, who is already relatively thin-skinned, borrowing money is still very embarrassing for him, so he is a bit hesitant when speaking.
"Do you want to borrow money? Zhongguo, why do you need money? Do you have a girlfriend?"
The surprised voice coming from the speakerphone showed Xu Zhanghui's surprise at this time, just like the meaning in his words, you must know that Zhong Guo is a person who basically doesn't spend much money, and he is even famous in this country.
Of course, this kind of saving is only for himself, but he is still very generous and loyal to his friend Zhong Guo.
"Brother, don't talk nonsense, I just need some money right now."
Hearing Xu Zhanghui mention the word girlfriend, Zhong Guo felt a headache and hurriedly stopped the conversation. You must know that Yi Enhui has already made Kim Jong Guo have been in Brother Shi and familiar friends since the variety show "X—M"
They joke about it till now.
"Okay! How many do you need?"
Seemingly hearing Kim Jong Kook's panic about his girlfriend, Xu Zhanghui did not continue to struggle with this issue.
"We need fifty million, fifty million."
At Li Shangmin's signal, Zhong Guo revealed the amount to Xu Zhanghui on the other side of the phone.
"Fifty million?" Xu Zhanghui, who was on the other side of the phone, was startled. However, after a brief moment of confusion, the voice came from the phone again: "When do you want it?"
"It's very urgent, brother, tomorrow."
"Okay, I got it." Under Zhuo Zaixun's envious gaze, Xu Zhanghui on the other side of the phone readily agreed without hesitation.
"Thank you, brother. I won't disturb you for now, so you can rest."
