Chapter 87: Zhang Gongzi settles the account
Zhang Nanxuan looked at the letter in front of him in a daze. This is a debt collection letter. He borrowed 10,000 gold yuan from the Chase Bank in the imperial capital, and it was still at the beginning of the year. It's ridiculous to say, although he is one of the twelve trial walkers of the Taiyi Sect. But I'm actually very poor. No one may believe this, but it's true. The offering of 2,000 gold dollars a month was not enough for his expenses.
Even if I opened a farmhouse with a friend, I didn't make enough money. It's only a few hundred gold dollars a month. For ordinary people, more than 2,000 gold dollars a month is a huge amount of money. Even in the imperial capital, it is a high income. A year's income can almost buy a small house in the imperial capital.
But this income is still not enough for Zhang Nanxuan to spend. Because there are costs in all aspects. Especially at the beginning of the year, I invited Li Ling'er, who ranked third on the red sleeve list of rivers and lakes, to swim the Xiangjiang River together. In order to give Li Linger a good impression, Zhang Nanxuan spent a huge amount of money. After swimming the Xiangjiang River for half a month and browsing the beautiful scenery of the Xiangjiang River, Zhang Nanxuan chartered the most luxurious private cruise ship on the entire Xiangjiang River. Kabuki, chefs, musicians are all available on board. There is even a martial arts training ground on board.
The cost of this cruise cost more than 7,000 gold dollars, not to mention other money spent along the way. Anyway, inside and out, Zhang Nanxuan spent more than 20,000 gold yuan in the past half a month. spent Zhang Nanxuan's already small amount of savings. That was Zhang Nanxuan's hard time to survive. Although he has an income of more than 2,000 gold yuan a month, he can't stand the big expenses. It's hard to save money!
After that, Zhang Nanxuan and Li Ling'er returned to the imperial capital, and there was a lot of expenses along the way.
In order to entertain Li Ling'er, Zhang Nanxuan can be regarded as pulling foreign debts. Borrowed 10,000 gold dollars from Chase Bank to spend.
Is it worth spending so much money to make a good impression on Li Ling'er, who ranks third on the red sleeve list of the rivers and lakes? Zhang Nanxuan thinks it is worth it.
The Jianghu Red Sleeves List is a list specially for martial arts women under the age of 30 in the rivers and lakes. This list is different from the Empire Rookie List in that it only includes women. And it's not just about the martial arts of the heroine. The red sleeve list, the appearance also has to be fought. Therefore, those who can enter the red sleeve list are not only good at martial arts, but also beautiful.
Therefore, although some women can enter the rookie list, they may not be able to enter the red sleeve list.
And Li Ling'er can rank third on the red sleeve list, it is conceivable that her martial arts and appearance are quite high. There are many suitors on the rivers and lakes. Because Li Ling'er is not only beautiful and good at kung fu, but also very rich in the family. Li Ling'er's family opened mines in the Northwest Frontier, and her father was a man known as the Northwest Mining King.
Whoever can marry Li Ling'er will not be a matter of twenty years of struggle. It's that you don't have to struggle, and your sons and grandsons don't have to struggle.
Zhang Nanxuan is also one of Li Ling'er's suitors. If you have the support of the Northwest Mining King, then you can go farther and climb higher. If you want to take it, you should give it first. This is an unbreakable wisdom in the world.
In order to pursue Li Ling'er, Zhang Nanxuan has made a big investment. has spent twenty or thirty thousand gold yuan on Li Ling'er, which can be regarded as winning a smile from the beauty. After all, what is there about the little princess of the Northwest Mine King that she has never eaten or seen? But this definitely does not include Li Ling'er. His own strength is not attractive in front of Li Ling'er.
Li Ling'er has twelve brothers, and the people in the rivers and lakes call the Li family's twelve King Kongs, all of whom are masters above the three levels of the human rank. And Li Ling'er's father is the top master of the ground level. If Zhang Nanxuan wants to express himself, he has to spend more energy. Because of thirteen children, Li Ling'er is the only daughter. So she is spoiled at home. There are all kinds of good things.
Zhang Nanxuan worked hard to make friends with Li Ling'er. even went bankrupt to have a relationship with her. Even Taiyimen is very supportive of him and Li Ling'er's partner, and it is best to succeed. The marriage between Taiyimen and the Northwest Mining King is a great thing.
Therefore, Taiyimen also gives Zhang Nanxuan a lot of convenience, but things like money are still relatively tight. You can't just because Zhang Nanxuan is in love, so you can't give him more money because of Taiyimen. If other disciples fall in love, will they have to give money? Isn't it bad not to give money? And then again, Zhang Nanxuan and Li Ling'er have not yet made substantial progress. If there is really substantial development, then Taiyimen will definitely give more support, which will definitely include money.
At this stage, Zhang Nanxuan can only rely on his own family background to make friends with Li Ling'er.
However, Zhang Nanxuan did not regret it at that time, because the relationship between himself and Li Linger has made great progress now. Now it's time to get to the point where you can exchange documents and become pen pals!
While progress is welcome, the reality is brutal. Because I borrowed the money from Chase Bank, I need to pay it back. Chase Bank, one of the most famous private money banks in the imperial capital. This bank has a reputation for credibility and absolutely protects the privacy of its customers. We will never disclose the customer's movements. This is also the reason why I borrowed money from Datong Bank. Although their interest rate is high, they don't reveal the fact that they borrowed money.
After all, he has to maintain the personal disciples of the Taiyi Sect, the twelve trial walkers, and the character of young talents in the rivers and lakes.
But......
"The money still has to be repaid. What should I do if I don't have any money?" Zhang Nanxuan sighed. Because of the loan of 10,000 gold yuan, he was very uncomfortable. My monthly expenses are so large, in fact, it is difficult to repay the money of Chase Bank.
So he signed a VAM agreement with Chase. That is, if he wins this competition with Bai Wufang, then Chase Money can write off his arrears in a lump sum, and will also arrange an endorsement for him. Let him become the spokesperson of the imperial capital Pinyixuan. Pinyixuan is also a brand worthy of the name in the empire. Twenty years ago, it was still a small shop, but because the silk and white clothes were made well, it was often passed on as white and flawless. It's because Bai Wufang often sells their goods, so this small shop is on fire.
Back then, they also signed an endorsement contract with Bai Wufang. At that time, all the white clothes of Bai Wufang were sponsored by Pinyixuan, and everywhere he went, he was advertising Pinyixuan. Later, Bai Wufang made no progress, and Pinyixuan was relieved of his identity as a spokesperson. Over the years, two spokespersons have also changed, but the effect is not as good as the white and flawless endorsement back then. At that time, Bai Wufang was the real traffic leader on the rivers and lakes, and many rookies imitated him.
So Pinyixuan was very popular at that time. Now that Bai Wufang is no longer good, Pinyixuan's sales have also begun to decline in recent years. The competition among fashion brands on the rivers and lakes is very fierce, after all, they are not made of armor and weapons, and the competition threshold for brand outerwear is very low. It depends on the style and advertising.
Chase Money didn't know if it had business dealings with Pinyixuan, so it wanted to push Zhang Nanxuan to Pinyixuan as a spokesperson. But the premise is that Zhang Nanxuan can defeat Bai Wufang, otherwise, if he finds a spokesperson who is not as good as Bai Wufang, wouldn't it be laughing off his big teeth?
But I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that I actually lost! Now the spokesperson can't do it, the money has to be repaid, and the most important thing is that my reputation is ruined. In the future, it will be even more difficult to find endorsements to make money.
I thought that I would lose the competition, but the bill came on the third day after I lost. Zhang Nanxuan now feels that he is not in the mood to think about his reputation in the future, and the first thing he has to solve is the bill problem that is close at hand. Because the problem is very realistic, I don't have that much money now! The sect's offerings will not arrive until the fifteenth. I borrowed money from a friend, but if the news spreads, my reputation will be ...... Ay!
Zhang Nanxuan was sitting there sighing.
There was a knock on the door, and a voice came from outside the house.
"Is Zhang Nanxuan's son here?
