Chapter 925 - 925 924 The Deal

925: Chapter 924: The Deal 925: Chapter 924: The Deal Certainly!

Here’s the translation of the excerpt:

Xiao Li was quite a smart girl.

She seemed to notice that Li Qin was caught up in some big issue and asked, “Sister Qin, are you facing some kind of trouble?”

Li Qin shook her head and said it was nothing, but mentioned borrowing her 2,000 yuan, which she wouldn’t be able to pay back until next month’s paycheck.

Xiao Li said there was no rush to repay and that it wouldn’t be late even if she returned it whenever she could.

It was only at this moment that Li Qin truly understood what a real friend was.

A true friend isn’t necessarily the one who always shows up for shopping sprees and spa days, but someone who unhesitatingly helps you when you genuinely need it.

Xiao Li had only worked at the hotel for a few months, earning just over 3,000 yuan a month, yet she lent her the money without even asking.

“Thank you, Xiao Li.

I won’t forget your kindness,” Li Qin said with gratitude and left in a hurry.

Still feeling that something was off, Xiao Li called the manager to request time off and quietly followed her.

Wang Dadong was holding the Little Nurse close in bed, sweet-talking her, when his phone suddenly rang.

Seeing the number, Wang Dadong didn’t pick up and directly hung up.

He knew it was Li Qin calling.

“Baby, I need to step out for a bit,” Wang Dadong said as he got up.

“Brother, I’ll go with you,” the Little Nurse said, reluctant to be apart from Wang Dadong for even a minute.

Wang Dadong gently ruffled her hair and replied with a grin, “No need, I’ll just be out for a short while.

An old friend owes me some money and said they’re ready to pay me back.

Once I get the cash, I’ll come back immediately.”

“Then make sure to come back quickly, okay?” the Little Nurse said with reluctance.

Leaving the hotel, it was easy for him to find the nearby Starbucks Cafe.

As soon as he entered the cafe, Wang Dadong spotted Li Qin sitting in the corner with a dazed and defeated look.

He briskly walked over.

Seeing Wang Dadong, Li Qin pulled a stuffed brown paper bag out of her purse.

No need to guess—it was obvious what it contained.

“I’ve brought the money.

Can you return the photos now?” Li Qin said coldly.

Wang Dadong picked up the money, casually weighing it in his hands, and then shook his head.

“We agreed on 10,000 per photo.

There are eight in total, so it should be 80,000 yuan.

But you’ve only got 78,000 here.”

“This is all I have…” Li Qin gritted her teeth.

She had scraped together 77,000 yuan, and the last 1,000 was her living expense for the month—all of it had been given to Wang Dadong.

“We agreed on 80,000, not a penny less,” Wang Dadong said, pushing the money back toward her.

This was pure troublemaking on Wang Dadong’s part.

After all, he wanted to teach Li Qin a lesson.

Even if she had brought the full 80,000, he’d have found another excuse to make things difficult—it wasn’t going to end that easily.

Left with no other options, Li Qin pulled out her phone and called the person she least wanted to ask for help.

“Li Qin, what’s the matter?” The manager sounded surprised.

Normally, Li Qin despised him, and now she was actually calling him on her own initiative—it really was like the sun rising from the west.

“Manager, could I borrow 2,000 yuan?”

“Borrow money?

No problem.

Where are you?

I’m at the hotel.

Come find me,” the manager agreed without hesitation.

Li Qin had expected to have to plead a bit, but surprisingly, the usually stingy Lewd Manager agreed so readily.

After hanging up, Li Qin turned to Wang Dadong and said, “I hope you’ll keep your word.

Once I give you the money, you’ll give me back the photos.

I’ll go get the money now.”

“Of course.

I’m a man of my word,” Wang Dadong said lazily, sitting on the chair with a mischievous smile.

Li Qin quickly left the cafe.

Wang Dadong hummed a tune leisurely, while thoughts of how else he might trouble Li Qin were swirling in his head.

Just then, a girl around 21 or 22 years old suddenly sat down opposite Wang Dadong.

Seeing a woman approach him voluntarily—though not a beauty, still passable—Wang Dadong’s wicked habits kicked in, and he teased casually, “Miss, sitting here, are you planning to treat me to coffee?”

“I wouldn’t treat you to coffee!” The girl’s voice carried some anger.

“Oh?

Then you want me to treat you to coffee?

No problem, order whatever you like.

I’ve got plenty of money!” Wang Dadong said with the air of a nouveau riche, patting the bulging money bag on the table.

The girl’s eyes reddened immediately.

“You’re such a jerk.

How could you treat Sister Qin like this?”

Having overheard Wang Dadong and Li Qin’s conversation earlier, Xiao Li could roughly deduce what was happening.

It was clear that Li Qin had something shameful fall into the hands of this vile man.

“Miss, how am I a jerk?

I didn’t lay a hand on you,” Wang Dadong grumbled, clearly annoyed at being insulted.

“Why are you extorting Sister Qin?

Don’t you know she sold her car and canceled her gym membership just to scrape together money for you?”

Wang Dadong was puzzled and grumbled in frustration, “Miss, are you sure you’ve got the right person?

What Sister Qin?

I don’t even know her.”

“She’s the one who just handed you the money.”

Turns out Wang Dadong had been blackmailing her without even knowing her name.

“Oh, you mean her?

Well, that’s not my fault.

She’s the one who…” Wang Dadong, noticing the girl’s work uniform, guessed she worked at the hotel too and briefly explained how Li Qin had secretly taken photos of him.

Of course, Wang Dadong didn’t need to elaborate—Xiao Li could well imagine the content of those photos.

“Sister Qin did wrong, but you shouldn’t treat her this way either.

She’s a divorced woman who’s already had it tough enough,” Xiao Li said, admitting Li Qin’s fault but added, “This is my engagement ring, bought by my boyfriend for 8,000 yuan.

Call Sister Qin back and refund her 5,000 yuan.

I’ll give this ring to you.”

Wang Dadong looked at Xiao Li with interest, feeling surprisingly touched.

Who would’ve thought that this young girl, despite her age, had such a strong sense of loyalty?

Wang Dadong pushed the ring and money-filled paper bag back to Xiao Li and sighed, “Forget it.

I just wanted to teach her a lesson.

I don’t care about this money.

You return it to her.”

Not expecting Wang Dadong to be so agreeable, Xiao Li immediately said gratefully, “Thank you, you’re a good person.”

Wang Dadong waved dismissively, indicating it was nothing, and then quipped, “She’s lucky she ran into me.

If it had been some other celebrity, she’d probably be dead and dumped in the river by now.

Tell her not to do such things again.”

“Mm, Sister Qin was just momentarily foolish,” Xiao Li said, her mood lifting.

Suddenly, she gasped, “Oh no!”

“What is it?” Wang Dadong asked.

Xiao Li’s face turned anxious as she said, “This isn’t good—the manager’s been lusting after Sister Qin for ages.

Now that she’s gone to him for money, she’s practically walking into the lion’s den!”

Wang Dadong shot up from his seat and said, “Then let’s hurry back!”
