In the stop-and-go bus, Begonia sat in an inconspicuous corner wearing a mask.

She leaned against the window, her eyes looking out the window at the street scene, but she listened to the words from her mobile phone in her ears.

The person on the other end of the phone said with a smile in his tone: "Haitang, hello, I think you should be able to guess who I am." ”

"yes, who made you a big star. Haitang cheered up and said coldly, "It's still the kind of big star who can raise little ghosts." ”

"Why bother saying it so sharply. Hearing this, Han Zao was not annoyed, but smiled, "I'm here to help you." ”

"Come on, can you help me? It's better for a weasel to give a New Year's greeting to the chickens. ”

Han Zao was slow and leisurely, not in a hurry or in a hurry: "Don't say it so ugly." I heard that your family owes two million in gambling debts, so I thought I'd call you to help. ”

"......" Begonia frowned, "Are you checking on me?"

"I've said it all, don't say it so ugly, I can't check you for anything, I just happened to hear about it. Han Zao smiled, "I heard that your family owes two million gambling debts—"

"It's more than a million!" Haitang interrupted her, correcting.

Han Zao was not annoyed, and said: "To be exact, it is one hundred and ninety-seven and fifty thousand, and I don't think there is any mistake in saying that it is two million." ”

Begonia was speechless for a while.

She was annoyed, angry that her mother hadn't told her the exact number, and shocked, shocked that Han Zao had found out so much about the amount of gambling debts her brother owed.

Her silence made Han Zao feel more confident, and he asked rhetorically, "What's the matter, you shouldn't tell me that you don't know that your family owes so much money, do you?"

"It's my family's business. Begonia gritted her teeth, "It has nothing to do with you." ”

"It's true that it has nothing to do with me, but I care about you, I know that you can't pay it back, and I called you on purpose to lend a hand-"

Haitang interrupted her violently: "It has nothing to do with you whether I can return it, don't cry here as a mouse." ”

"It doesn't matter. Han Zao smiled, and finally threw out the first bait, "I can help you pay it back, two million, a lot of help you pay it back." ”

From the moment he received this call, Haitang vaguely sensed that Han Zao's arrival was not good.

As the saying goes, if you don't have anything to do, you can't go to the Three Treasures Palace, Han Zao must have called her for a purpose.

And now, she realizes what she wants to do—

She is an ordinary bricklayer in the entertainment industry, and the only and greatest value on her body is Su Pu who she is responsible for, Han Zao looked for her just to get close to Su Pu through her.

The means of luring are just trying to turn against her.

She didn't take the bait so easily.

Han Zao seemed to be aware of her refusal earlier, and rushed ahead of her and said, "Don't be busy refusing, you should think about the pros and cons of this matter for you." ”

"I heard that your current salary is not high, 10,000 yuan a month, and you can only save 120,000 yuan a year without eating or drinking. Your parents are also retired, two million, when will your family add up?"

"Not to mention that your brother may not be able to quit gambling, and will continue to gamble in the future, when will such a day be the end for you? I know that you have a good relationship with Su Pu, but will she keep paying for your family's affairs?

"Of course, I'm guessing you're also looking for ways to save yourself now, such as taking some kickbacks or blackmailing the brand. But don't forget, this kind of behavior is to hand over your handle to others, maybe one day it will overturn, what will Su Pu think of you at that time? Do you think Huasheng Entertainment will sue you?"

Haitang sneered, perfectly grasping the loophole in her logic: "So, you gave me two million, and you also want to catch my handle?"

"There is no free lunch in the world, you said you want to help me pay off my debts, so what do you want me to help you do? Provide you with Su Pu's information? As long as I trade with you once, then you will catch my handle, and I will also be tied up as a chess piece of yours, and I can't get rid of it if I want to——"

"Han Zao, you think I have a low IQ?"

"I don't dare to think so, you are smart, otherwise Su Pu would not trust you so much. Han Zaoyou smiled with ease, "Then again, it sounds like you shouldn't have sought Su Pu's help yet, or did you find her and she didn't want to help you?"

Haitang didn't answer her question, bit her lip, and said coldly: "It has nothing to do with you." I don't have time to waste on you, you finally made a comeback, and if you don't want to be scandalized again, you will do less immoral things. ”

"I didn't do anything lacking in virtue, I said it was for your good. You must know that it is really difficult to make money these days, if you commit an economic crime and are sued by Huasheng Entertainment, you will have to lose a sum of money at that time, can you afford it?" Han Zao sighed, "As long as you are willing to sell me some news, you will get a lot of benefits." ”

"You have to think about it carefully, don't pick the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon, right? You really don't have to rush to refuse me, you think about it first, think about it before you call me back." I'm not in a hurry, I'll be waiting for you. ”

After Han Zao finished speaking, Haitang didn't speak for a long time.

This made the corners of Han Zao's mouth smile.

Her policy of softness seems to have paid off.

Haitang hung up the phone quietly, but the silence without saying a word was enough to represent her attitude.

She did waver.

Two million is not the amount that can be obtained by trading with a brand owner once, but Han can give it to her.

No matter which path she chooses, she has betrayed Su Pu, so why not choose a more convenient path?

The bus staggered into the bus stop, stopped on the side of the road and opened the door, Haitang got off, and as soon as she turned around, she saw the teahouse across the road.

That's where she and the head of the brand agreed to meet.

Begonia stands in front of the zebra crossing and waits for the traffic light, and when the green light is on, she crosses the road without hurrying.

She kept her head down, a myriad of thoughts swirling in her mind.

The moment I got to the end of the zebra crossing, the phone rang again.

Only this time it was her mother.

Haitang pressed the answer button and put it to her ear: "Mom, what's wrong?"

"The 60,000 yuan you sent to your family has arrived, I just want to tell you. ”

"Oh, that's good. Haitang's voice was low, "I'll hang up the phone first if there's nothing else." ”

"So......" Begonia's mother hesitated, "did you ask about what I said before?"

"What's the matter?"

"It's for you to ask Su Pu to see if she can lend us money. Begonia didn't speak, and her mother instantly realized that she didn't ask, frowned, and blamed, "Why don't you ask her?

"Alright. Haitang interrupted, "If you called just to let me borrow money from Su Pu, I don't have anything to say, that's it, hang up." ”

She didn't give her mother time to react and hung up the phone.

Physically and mentally exhausted, she has walked for a long time on this road to the teahouse, and she is still making the final decision in her heart.

Is it to find the brand endorsed by Su Pu or to find Su Pu's opponent Han Zao?
