Chapter 194 Chen Xiaofeng's Purpose
Chen Xiaofeng had considered borrowing money from her friends, but the problem was that Zhang Xiaoxia and Lu Xiaohui's families were just ordinary working-class families.
It's already quite good that such a family can help them go to school, plus the two of them also have a younger brother, so their daily living expenses are actually not much.
If it weren't for Wu Chusheng's continued financial support, Chen Xiaofeng would have been struggling to make ends meet long ago.
However, Wu Chusheng can afford daily expenses, but he needs to prepare at least 50,000 yuan for the family's expenses this time, not to mention that he will need at least tens of thousands more later.
Chen Xiaofeng knew she had to prepare 100,000 yuan, otherwise her mother might get into trouble.
I remember when she received her university acceptance letter, her father was silent, and her mother was crying.
Originally, Chen Xiaofeng had planned to give up going to university and, like the other girls in the village, go out to work.
Finally, her mother took her to beg many people, and they were able to borrow the money for her school fees.
This was the first time Chen Xiaofeng truly realized the importance of money, which was partly why she was able to quickly accept Wu Chusheng's advances.
Compared to her other suitors, Wu Chusheng was the most generous. While others were still only able to write love letters, Wu Chusheng already knew to send her clothes and shoes.
Once she showed some response, Wu Chusheng deposited 1,000 yuan into her meal card.
At this moment, Chen Xiaofeng would naturally be tempted. Whether it was due to reality or the other party's thoughtfulness and generosity, Chen Xiaofeng couldn't refuse.
The thought of 100,000 yuan made her scalp tingle, and Wu Chusheng's family didn't have much money either.
According to Wu Chusheng, his father divorced his mother a long time ago, and his mother supported him and his sister by running an electronics store.
We just bought a new house for our family last year, finally escaping the life of renting.
It's already quite remarkable that the other party can focus on university studies and even set aside some money each month to support Chen Xiaofeng.
Chen Xiaofeng had no way to raise the money. If it weren't for Wu Chusheng's financial support, she would be struggling to make ends meet.
But apart from Wu Chusheng, Chen Xiaofeng really couldn't think of what to do.
Zhang Xiaoxia and Lu Xiaohui, who lived in the dormitory, were her good friends, but the problem was that 100,000 yuan was too much for them.
If it's a few thousand yuan, Chen Xiaofeng feels confident that she can pay it back quickly after graduation.
Chen Xiaofeng was so worried that she couldn't sleep all night. Just then, she suddenly remembered everyone's recent discussion.
Teacher Chen Hai is so rich, if I ask him for a loan, would he agree?
Yes, borrow money from Teacher Chen Hai.
For other people, 100,000 yuan is too much.
But for Teacher Chen Hai, 100,000 yuan is nothing.
Last time, Teacher Chen Hai suggested that everyone with money could follow the trend and buy stocks, but Chen Xiaofeng was willing but unable to do so.
Zhang Xiaoxia and Lu Xiaohui also used 1,000 yuan of their living expenses to follow suit and made several thousand yuan in profit.
Afterwards, Zhang Xiaoxia and Lu Xiaohui were filled with regret. They wished they had gone all in. Even if they had borrowed money from their families and invested 100,000 yuan, it would have become 300,000 yuan a month later.
In 2006, 300,000 yuan was more than enough to buy a house and a car.
This one move could fulfill everyone's dreams. Now, what everyone is most looking forward to is which stock Mr. Chen Hai will predict again.
Unfortunately, Mr. Chen Hai told them that his previous prediction had already attracted a lot of attention.
No matter how well he tries to keep it secret next time, it will probably leak out eventually, so for the sake of everyone's financial security, he has decided to stop making predictions.
Many people regret not making the decision to follow the trend that time, and that's all they can do.
After all, what Mr. Chen Hai said makes a lot of sense; don't assume that those big players in the stock market are kind-hearted people.
If we continue to invest, we might really be jumping into a fire pit. As Mr. Chen Hai clearly stated, the capital market is ruthless, and any carelessness will be punished with facts.
Thinking about this, Chen Xiaofeng suddenly felt a sense of clarity. Her only uncertainty now was whether she could actually borrow money from Teacher Chen Hai.
It's true that Mr. Chen Hai is rich; even if it's not hundreds of millions of US dollars, it's definitely hundreds of millions of RMB.
As an ordinary student, she wasn't sure if the other person would actually lend her the money. After all, university professors aren't as familiar with their students as high school or middle school teachers.
Teacher Chen Hai wasn't just from their class; the other student might not even remember them.
Chen Xiaofeng even harbored a secret hope that she would be treated differently by Teacher Chen Hai.
She didn't mind becoming his woman at all. As for Wu Chusheng, well, sorry, his conditions were incomparable to those of Teacher Chen Hai.
Chen Xiaofeng went to Teacher Chen Hai's office with a feeling of unease.
Teacher Chen Hai was also taken aback when he saw Chen Xiaofeng. Why was she here?
Although he was planning to start some projects, he hadn't figured out how to proceed, so why did Chen Xiaofeng suddenly appear?
"Professor Chen Hai, I am Chen Xiaofeng, a sophomore majoring in English at the School of Foreign Languages."
"Hello, Chen Xiaofeng, what brings you here?"
Seeing that Teacher Chen Hai's tone was very kind, Chen Xiaofeng felt a little embarrassed to speak.
It's easy to say you're borrowing money, but it's so hard to actually ask.
It must be even more difficult for a girl, but thinking of her mother, Chen Xiaofeng mustered up her courage.
"Teacher Chen Hai, something happened in my family, and I need 100,000 yuan to save my life. I really had no other choice but to come to you."
Chen Xiaofeng's voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, until finally it was barely audible.
Teacher Chen Hai looked at her with a smile, but did not say whether he agreed or refused.
After barely finishing her sentence, Chen Xiaofeng stared intently at Teacher Chen Hai.
Her words seemed to have drained her of all energy; now it remains to be seen whether Teacher Chen Hai will lend her the money.
Do you think I should lend it to you?
Teacher Chen Hai's words left Chen Xiaofeng at a loss for words. Saying "should" seemed a bit inappropriate, but saying "shouldn't" wouldn't work either.
"To be honest, recently, at least ten people have come to me to borrow money. I have money and am willing to donate it to the school."
But that doesn't mean I can lend my money to others to squander. Or, you may be facing difficulties, but that's none of my business.
I don't know if you can understand what I'm saying, Chen. I came to Xishan University simply to share my knowledge with everyone.
It seems I have no responsibility or obligation to bear the burden of everyone's difficulties, and the difficulties you mentioned have no causal relationship with me.
Teacher Chen Hai's words became increasingly harsh, and Chen Xiaofeng, who was initially apprehensive, gradually became enraged.
Tears welled up in her eyes without her realizing it; Chen Xiaofeng had considered that the other party wouldn't lend her money.
But Chen Xiaofeng never expected that the usually kind and amiable Teacher Chen Hai would be so harsh.
She had already humbled herself so much to beg for money, but the other party not only refused to lend her the money, but also mocked and ridiculed her.
Chen Xiaofeng really wanted to yell at him, but considering the other person's reputation at school, she was afraid that if she actually did it, she would be expelled.
