936: Chapter 935: A Way to Avoid Paying Money 936: Chapter 935: A Way to Avoid Paying Money “Xiao Li, don’t say that I don’t care for you.

That person happens to be my friend, and I’ve already explained your situation to him.

He’s very understanding, so he’s decided to make some concessions on the compensation…” Zhang Dagui said in a feigned tone of pity, as he saw Wu Li’s ashen expression.

“What kind of concessions?” Li Qin asked.

“I can’t discuss this here.

Xiao Li, come to my office, and we’ll talk privately.” Zhang Dagui said thoughtfully.

After speaking, Zhang Dagui glanced at Wu Li and walked towards his office as if nothing had happened.

“Xiao Li, don’t go.

Zhang Dagui certainly has ulterior motives.” Li Qin warned.

She was all too familiar with Zhang Dagui.

Previously, she had almost fallen prey to his schemes over borrowing two thousand yuan.

Let alone now, when Xiao Li has made such a big mistake.

Not to mention whether Zhang Dagui has the ability to resolve the issue, even if he does, he certainly won’t do it for free.

“Sister Qin, if I don’t go, is there any other way?” Wu Li cast a dazed glance at Li Qin before heading toward Zhang Dagui’s office.

A hundred-some thousand yuan—it’s not just a few thousand.

For Wu Li, it was practically a cosmic number.

Even if she sold Wang Dadong, Li Qin’s car, and her own car, she’d still be seventy thousand yuan short.

She couldn’t afford it even if she sold everything she owned.

Li Qin clenched her teeth and remained silent.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to help, but she simply couldn’t.

Inside Zhang Dagui’s office.

“Xiao Li, let me be straight with you.

Under normal circumstances, you wouldn’t be able to repay this debt in your entire lifetime.

But you’re quite lucky.

Recently, you’ve become even more beautiful.

The other party has agreed to write off the debt completely, as long as you’re willing to let him keep you for five years.” Zhang Dagui said bluntly.

Xiao Li trembled at his words.

To be kept for five years—she’s twenty-three now.

By the end of those five years, she’d be twenty-eight.

That’s undeniably the golden period of a woman’s life.

Could it be that Wu Li’s most beautiful years would have to be spent as someone’s mistress?

But if she didn’t agree to it, she’d have to repay 150,000 yuan.

“Xiao Li, this is a rare opportunity.

The man even said, if you agree to be his mistress, not only will you not need to compensate for the antique, but he’ll also give you 5,000 yuan monthly—much more than your salary.” Zhang Dagui quickly added upon seeing her hesitation.

You couldn’t blame Zhang Dagui for being so proactive; the man had promised him a reward if he could sway Wu Li.

Moreover, once the man grew bored with her, she’d be “available” for Zhang Dagui’s own use.

Ever since Wu Li wasn’t as beautiful as now, Zhang Dagui had already coveted her for a long time.

Now that she’d grown more beautiful, he found it even harder to bear.

But he also knew, with his own conditions, a modest life was the best he’d achieve.

He didn’t have nearly enough money to support a mistress.

The mishap with the antique was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

If Xiao Li truly agreed to this deal, he wouldn’t have to worry about her defying him in the future.

After all, this would essentially give him leverage over Xiao Li.

Xiao Li’s current salary was 3,100 yuan, and since she was newly hired, she didn’t even have social security benefits.

With a monthly allowance of 5,000 yuan, plus her salary, it was equivalent to what white-collar workers made in the city.

Xiao Li’s face carried a hint of bitter self-mockery.

No wonder so many girls nowadays were willing to endure contempt just to marry into wealth.

It’s just too easy to make money this way.

With 5,000 yuan monthly, she wouldn’t even need to work anymore.

Of course, this didn’t mean being kept was genuinely a good choice, because this was ultimately “picking youth for profit.”

A woman’s youthful years are finite.

No one stays young and beautiful forever.

When your looks fade, wealthy men will surely discard you without hesitation and find newer, prettier women to keep.

By then, you’d already grown used to an effortless life and might even forget how to work.

Losing your financial support would be a disaster.

Some vanity-driven women even sink into selling their bodies—or worse, committing crimes—to satisfy their material desires once their income disappears.

Mistresses in their youth, fallen women in their old age—that’s how it happens.

“Manager, may I have some time to think about it?” Wu Li bit her lip and asked.

Other women might have alternatives, but Wu Li didn’t.

Besides, if she didn’t need to pay compensation and could earn money monthly, why wouldn’t she consider it?

She used to joke with Li Qin about wishing she could be kept by a rich man someday.

But now, faced with the real possibility, Wu Li felt overwhelmed with sadness.

Although it had become a trend these days, being kept was a secretive and shameful business.

Most of the men capable of keeping women were married.

The news had countless exposes of mistresses being caught by wives in unbearable circumstances.

Just thinking about it made Wu Li feel a chill in her heart.

“Alright, thinking about it is no problem.

But the man doesn’t have my level of patience.

He’s only giving you one day to decide.

If you can’t give him a satisfactory answer by then, I’ll no longer be able to help you.” Zhang Dagui lit a cigarette, puffing smoke as he spoke.

Although Xiao Li hadn’t outright agreed, Zhang Dagui was nearly certain the matter was settled.

After all, Xiao Li couldn’t pay such a large sum.

Without the ability to repay, being kept was her only option.

A few minutes later, Xiao Li stumbled out of Zhang Dagui’s office, her face pale.

Li Qin hurriedly walked over and asked, “Xiao Li, what did Zhang Dagui say?”

Xiao Li didn’t answer but threw herself into Li Qin’s arms and began to sob.

“Don’t cry, don’t cry.

You still have me.

Even if we really have to repay a hundred thousand yuan, I’ll help you!” Li Qin said firmly.

Previously, when she had faced difficulties, Xiao Li didn’t hesitate to lend her money and even confronted Wang Dadong on her behalf.

Otherwise, she might have already fallen into Zhang Dagui’s clutches.

That’s why Li Qin decided, no matter how big the challenge, she would stand by Wu Li’s side.

Once Xiao Li had cried herself out, Li Qin wiped her tears away and asked, “Xiao Li, what did Zhang Dagui say exactly?”

“Zhang Dagui said…” Xiao Li recounted everything Zhang Dagui had said to her in the office to Li Qin.

“That bastard!

I knew nothing good would come out of his mouth!” Li Qin cursed furiously.

Suggesting Xiao Li be kept?

What a despicable idea!

“Li Qin, I was just thinking of Xiao Li’s best interests.

If it weren’t for my diplomacy, Xiao Li might’ve ended up in jail.” Zhang Dagui said smugly, walking out of the office.

Once this was finalized, he’d earn a few thousand yuan easily.

This money couldn’t be simpler to make.

Seeing Zhang Dagui’s smug expression, Li Qin felt enraged.

After all, not long ago, she herself had almost been bullied by this loathsome man.

“Xiao Li, we absolutely can’t let that villain get his way.

How about this…” Li Qin suddenly whispered into Xiao Li’s ear.
