When I was just reborn, I was sold for 300 yuan.

Xu Xianhui was startled when she heard the voice. She quickly tried to shake off the hand that was holding her arm, and at the same time looked at the person who came with vigilance.

The man holding Xu Xianhui's arm was called Cao Dong. He was originally a temporary worker at the Beijing Cotton Mill. After the overall environment changed, he and a few friends bought some goods from the south and brought them back to Beijing to sell. Unexpectedly, the goods sold very well. The money he earned in one day was equivalent to his salary for a month working hard at the Cotton Mill.

Having tasted the sweetness of success, Cao Dong simply quit his job at the cotton mill and concentrated on running a small business. Over the past six months, he has really made a lot of money.

Because one time when he passed by the gate of Peking University, he happened to see Xu Xianhui coming out of the school. Cao Dong fell in love with her at first sight, so he looked for an opportunity to get to know Xu Xianhui and wanted to pursue her. However, he didn't know that after several months, Xu Xianhui was completely indifferent to him.

Xu Xianhui naturally looked down on Cao Dong. Not to mention that Xu Xianhui already had someone she liked in her heart, Xu Xianhui also looked down on Cao Dong just because of his appearance.

Cao Dong was not tall, just over 1.6 meters at most, about the same height as Xu Xianhui. Not to mention that he was short, he also had very small eyes and a face full of pimples. Every time Xu Xianhui saw Cao Dong's face, she couldn't help feeling nauseous. There was no way she could accept Cao Dong's pursuit. Besides, she was a student of Peking University, and Cao Dong hadn't even graduated from elementary school. Xu Xianhui felt that Cao Dong was not worthy of her in terms of status.

As for what Cao Dong did, Xu Xianhui had never cared. Usually, when she saw Cao Dong, Xu Xianhui would avoid him. But today, she was caught by Cao Dong.

Xu Xianhui looked around and realized that she had been thinking about something and had unknowingly walked out of the school.

"Cao Dong, what are you doing?" Xu Xianhui was unable to shake Cao Dong off and had to use her other hand to pull Cao Dong's arm: "Let me go, I won't be your girlfriend, just give up on this idea."

Cao Dong narrowed his eyes, grabbed Xu Xianhui's arm, and dragged her into an alley near Peking University.

Xu Xianhui was startled and said hurriedly, "Cao Dong, what are you going to do? If you don't let me go, I'm going to call for help."

"Haha, are you short of money?" Cao Dong suddenly asked Xu Xianhui in a low voice.

Xu Xianhui was stunned for a moment and blurted out: "How do you know?"

Then, Xu Xianhui's face turned cold: "What does it have to do with you? How can you help me?"

"Tell me, what if I can help?" Cao Dong felt that he saw hope. He had a lot of money in his hands now, and his life was much more comfortable than before. He thought that if money could solve the problem, it would not be a problem. If he could use money to deal with Xu Xianhui, he would naturally be willing to do so.

At the same time, Cao Dong was also annoyed. Why didn't he think of this before? He always thought that the students who studied at Beijing University were noble and regarded money as dirt.

"You...can you lend me money?" Xu Xianhui looked Cao Dong up and down. She didn't pay attention to him before, but today she found that the clothes Cao Dong wore didn't seem to be cheap. Could it be that she walked out of the school today because Cao Dong might be able to help her?

Thinking of this, when Xu Xianhui looked at Cao Dong again, she suddenly felt that he looked much more pleasing to the eye.

"How much money do you need?" Cao Dong asked with a raised eyebrow.

Hearing Cao Dong's question, Xu Xianhui suddenly felt hopeful. She asked tentatively, "Can you lend me one thousand?"

"One thousand!" Cao Dong couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Xu Xianhui's words. To be honest, he could barely take out one thousand yuan now, but he was afraid that he would have to use the payment for the goods, which would more or less affect his business.

However, Cao Dong was not very worried. He was trading goods with a few buddies. At worst, he could just transfer some money from his buddies first and then pay them back when he made money. It was not a big deal.

The speed at which he made money over the past six months has given Cao Dong great confidence.

"Yes, one thousand. Can you take it out?" Xu Xianhui took a deep breath inwardly. This was the only hope that was rekindled in her. She must grab it. She absolutely could not be taken away by the loan shark. She knew that if that happened, she would definitely not have a good ending.

"Yes, I can." Cao Dong smiled and said, "But, you know, this thousand is not a small amount. If I lend you a thousand yuan, what will you use to pay it back?"

"Wait for me...I will pay you back when I have money." Xu Xianhui said this with no confidence. She knew in her heart that she could not pay back the money.

However, she was in desperate need of the money now. As for what to do if she couldn't pay Cao Dong back in the future, that would be a matter for later. After all, Cao Dong was not one of those loan sharks, so she still had to pay him back.

After hearing what Xu Xianhui said, Cao Dong smiled and asked, "When will you return it?"

Cao Dong had been doing business for more than half a year, and had met all kinds of people. Besides, he had to run a business, so he had learned to read people's expressions. Xu Xianhui was a student still on campus, and even though she had been to the countryside before, she didn't have as much experience as Cao Dong did, so Cao Dong saw through her at a glance.

"Of course I'll pay it back when I have money," Xu Xianhui said hurriedly.

"You can't do that. You have to give me a deadline, right?" Cao Dong smiled and said to Xu Xianhui, "This is one thousand yuan, not ten or eight yuan. Do you know how long it takes for a formal worker to save a thousand yuan?"

"Tomorrow...next year." Xu Xianhui said with some stammering.

"Which month next year?" Cao Dong asked.

What month? How would she know what month it was? She didn’t even know if she would have money by then.

Xu Xianhui felt that Cao Dong was taking advantage of her weakness of being short of money to tease her, so she immediately said coldly: "If you don't have money, don't hang around me. It's a waste of time."

After saying that, Xu Xianhui wanted to leave, but her arm was still held by Cao Dong. She couldn't help but said angrily: "Let go."

How could Cao Dong let go? He chuckled, took out five big unity notes from his pocket, and asked, "Do you think I don't have money?"

When Xu Xianhui saw the fifty yuan, her eyes widened. God knew how much she needed the money. She felt more connected to Da Tuanjie than to her parents. This was her life!

"Can you really lend me a thousand yuan?" Xu Xianhui asked hurriedly to confirm.

"Of course." Cao Dong raised his eyebrows.

"Can you give it to me before tonight?" Xu Xianhui was anxious, afraid that things might change if she took too long, so she had to get the money in her hands quickly.

Are you in such a hurry?

Cao Dong narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I can lend you the money, and I can give it to you before tonight. I won't even ask you to pay it back, but you have to agree to one condition of mine."
