Chapter 3528 Loan
Li Menglong wants to be an ostrich. From his perspective, it is understandable. It is all about living, which is not easy.
But has he ever considered girls?
If they didn't react and believed Li Menglong's words so easily, they would look very stupid.
They may indeed appear careless in daily life, and may even show a clear sense of stupidity.
But that's all their protective colors. They just don't want to scheming with their own people. This is a great wisdom!
If someone really wants to take advantage of this and treat them as fools, then they will definitely give this person a big surprise.
Although there are no signs yet, Li Menglong, who is hiding on the second floor, is still uneasy and does not look too nervous.
Xu Xian tried her best to ignore him, but sitting opposite Li Menglong, it was difficult for her to pretend not to see him.
Silently putting down the work at hand, Xu Xian supported his chin and asked helplessly: "What's wrong? Is there anything I can do to help?"
It seemed that he had been waiting for this moment. After hearing Xu Xian's inquiry, Li Menglong couldn't wait to tell everything that happened.
Even though it was just a simplified version, Li Menglong still talked for several minutes.
On the opposite side, Xu Xian has fallen into a sluggish state. The amount of information received in a short period of time is too large, and Xu Xian's brain is also likely to shut down.
She couldn't understand it. It wasn't the first day Li Menglong had met these women, so why did he dare to do such provocative things?
To be precise, this is no longer considered provocation. This is simply seeking death. Is Li Menglong suffering from a terminal illness? Want to be crazy before you die?
As for why he told her, Xu Xian, maybe he wanted someone to remember all this and ask her to help spread the word?
Don't blame Xu Xian for thinking too far, it's really Li Menglong who doesn't care about human affairs.
Seeing that Xu Xian didn't respond, Li Menglong could only stretch out his hand and shake it in front of her. Wake up quickly, otherwise the girls might fall down later.
Patting Li Menglong's big hand away irritably, Xu Xian finally showed a irritable expression: "What do you want me to do? You don't want me to protect you, right? I don't have such a big face in front of them!"
In order to prove that she was not evading, Xu Xian repeated what Li Menglong had done. This time, she felt a little admiration in her heart.
Li Menglong was able to accomplish so many things in such a short period of time, so he should be praised.
And he is not a bully. If he only knew how to bully honest people like Pani and Yoona, Xu Xian might even spit on him.
But from Kim Taeyeon to Lee Soon Kyu, he is targeting them all. It can even be said that he has not spared any girl, including Seohyun.
If there was anything else to say, Xu Xian silently gave a thumbs up.
Even though he was a member of the girls, Xu Xian still admired his courage and hoped that he would get a good ending.
After expressing his admiration, Xu Xian planned to devote himself to work again, but this was completely different from what Li Menglong expected.
Although she never thought about letting Xu Xian protect her, the little girl's behavior was too indifferent.
Did he do all this for himself? Seeing that Xu Xian was bullied severely in daily life, he couldn't help but seek justice for Xu Xian.
Why didn’t Xu Xian understand his thoughts?
After hearing this "confession", a bunch of curse words came to Xu Xian's mouth. If there weren't so many people around, she felt that she could scold Li Menglong until he was bloody.
Let’s not talk about the ambiguity in his confession. Xu Xian is not a shy girl easily. She can distinguish the true emotions contained in words.
Li Menglong is clearly trying to shirk now, and he is also claiming revenge for her, Xu Xian. This is too shameless.
She, Xu Xian, has been "bullied" for more than a day or two. Li Menglong has been able to turn a blind eye for so many years, but today he can't help it anymore?
This kind of talk is just for deceiving a little girl who is in love. Although Xu Xian does not have much experience in love, as an artist, she is well-informed.
She can give Li Menglong a chance to reorganize his language. Is he sure he still wants to say that?
Li Menglong really hesitated. Seeing that he was about to offend those women to death, should he add Xu Xian now?
The difficulty is not stacked like this, and besides, Li Menglong has no tendency to be abused.
"That's not what I meant. I just wanted to ask if you could provide me with some trivial help within your ability without affecting yourself..."
Li Menglong tried his best to make himself as pitiable as possible. What if Xu Xian would fall into this trap?
But in the end, he entrusted him to the wrong person. Seeing him pretending to be pitiful, Xu Xian was not moved, but rather disgusted.
Li Menglong might as well express his thoughts openly, even if it is to provide some exchange possibilities, it would be a good choice.
In the end, he actually tried to talk to Xu Xian with just one mouth. Who gave him the courage?
He refused Li Menglong's request without any hesitation, and in order not to give him a chance to stalk him, Xu Xian simply changed positions.
The office is so big, so she doesn't necessarily have to sit across from Li Menglong.
He was sitting here before to better cooperate with Li Menglong's work, but is he still thinking about working now?
Now the situation is completely reversed. Li Menglong had better not disturb her. Xu Xian is working hard. He cannot bear this responsibility!
Looking at Xu Xian's decisive back, Li Menglong felt despair for a moment, and even his last hope was shattered.
Now he can only hope that those women are stupid, that they think everything is normal and no one is causing trouble.
It's just that he himself knows that it's unrealistic. Let's not talk about Lee Soon Kyu's reaction. Pani and Yoona alone will sooner or later reveal their secrets.
The two of them just have a misunderstanding about the person who paid. Once the actual payment comes, the secret will be revealed in a matter of minutes.
This time, Li Menglong could no longer be willful. He knew that he had to save himself from now on. He was struggling to survive.
Although the process was quite painful, he himself did not regret everything he had done before. After all, at least he really felt the fun at the time.
After putting aside distracting thoughts, Li Menglong began to make a plan seriously. He found that he had offended a lot of people, or else just forget it?
He didn't choose to give up on himself. Li Menglong had seen some storms after all. There was no way he would die here!
The first thing to solve is Pani and Yoona's place, because the probability of a thunderstorm there is certain, it's just a matter of time. And it was not as difficult as imagined to solve it. Although he lied in front of Pani and Yoona, the premise was that he had no intention of fulfilling his promise.
After all, it's just two bags. Although the price is indeed quite scary, he can already make the money.
A fairly simple way is to get the money from the company's books, but the process is still a bit long, and it is easy to be caught by Lee Soon Kyu while waiting.
In such a tense moment, every second must be used, and he knew he could not delay.
So he came to Xu Xian again. Although the little girl didn't want to talk to him at all, Li Menglong shamelessly stood opposite her.
Xu Xian really had nothing to do with Li Menglong, so she could only hug her shoulders and look at him with a serious face. She had better say something useful, otherwise she would really be angry.
"Lend me some money? I'll find an opportunity to pay it back to you in a few days!" Li Menglong stated his purpose simply and neatly.
It's just that it's too simplistic. At least explain the cause and effect clearly. Otherwise, if she comes to borrow such a large amount of money out of nowhere, does she really think that Xu Xian is a banker?
Faced with Xu Xian's silence, Li Menglong thought that the other party was defaulting on his account, so he quickly explained: "You can rest assured, aren't you managing the project's accounts? You can just do some accounting at that time, and you won't let it go." You lose money!”
Li Menglong originally just said this casually, but the more he thought about it, the more it made sense.
Why should he pay for this? Doesn't he, Li Menglong, look like someone who was taken advantage of?
Instead, the accounts are put into the movie, which seems much more reasonable.
Even the reasons are ready-made. Don’t they need a bag in the movie? What a legitimate reason to buy two as props in advance.
Li Menglong can even make the decision and give Seohyun another one. After all, he is the director. He said that expensive bags can enrich the character's personality. Does anyone object?
In fact, some people couldn't stand it. Xu Xian slapped the table and stood up. She seriously suspected that Li Menglong was testing her. Otherwise, how could he dare to say such things in front of her?
Naturally, the accounts she is responsible for, Xu Xian, must be clear and clear. Any behavior that enriches her own pockets will never be approved by her.
She, Xu Xianqing, has lived innocently for so many years. Li Menglong had better not come to ruin her reputation. He can't afford to pay for it!
He also wanted to bribe her Xu Xian, how naive!
In other words, everyone is in the same company, and Li Menglong's behavior is just lip service, otherwise Xu Xian will probably expose him.
Not wanting to listen to Li Menglong's suggestion anymore, Xu Xian directly revealed the bottom line: only one of the two can exist in this space in a short period of time. Should Li Menglong avoid suspicion, or should she, Xu Xian, leave?
Li Menglong finally walked out in despair. Not only did he not borrow the money, but he also vaguely offended Xu Xian, and he couldn't even stay in the office anymore.
The short-term blow did not make Li Menglong give up. He still had to borrow money, and Pani and Yoona were still waiting to use it.
Besides, why did he have to ask Xu Xian to borrow it? He knew a lot of rich people, such as Yoona?
At first it was just Li Menglong's own complaint, but after a brief thought, he increasingly felt that this candidate was a good choice.
In particular, he told Pani and Yoona differently. To Yoona, it was Pani who promised to deliver the package, but to Pani, it was Li Menglong who paid for it.
In this way, there is room for manipulation, for example, borrowing money from Yoona, giving it to Pani, and finally changing it into a bag through Pani's hand and giving it to the two of them.
After thinking carefully, Li Menglong didn't find any loopholes. This logic is really perfect!
Sure enough, the road is boundless. Fortunately, he did not give up early, otherwise there would be no turning point at this moment.
Due to time constraints, Li Menglong couldn't afford to delay, so he took action immediately.
But there are still problems. For example, Pani cannot be allowed to hear the conversation between the two, otherwise he will be a gangster.
And borrowing money also requires a reason. It seems that he has never borrowed money from Yoona on weekdays. This seems to be a difficulty.
He didn't dare to think about it any more, otherwise he would give up. He might as well wait and see after the call was connected. Maybe the two of them were not together?
"Unnie? She's right in front. Are you looking for her? I'll call her for you..." Yoona's voice sounded quite happy, and she even took the initiative to ask for help. It was obvious that she was in a really good mood.
This is understandable, after all, someone gave you a gift. If you look like this again, it is obviously disrespectful to the gift.
After Li Menglong heard Yoona's words, he didn't care about avoiding suspicion anymore. Although he didn't know the specific distance, he could only take a gamble.
"Don't keep it quiet. I have something I want to ask for your help with." Li Menglong said quickly: "Can you lend me some money? There is a temporary problem with the company's accounts, and I am in a hurry to use it."
Li Menglong made his request, and then waited for Yoona's response. The little girl shouldn't refuse, right?
In fact, Yoona is not stupid. She sensed that there might be something wrong inside, but she still needed to confirm. What if she really needed it urgently?
"How much do you want to borrow? What do you want to use it for?" Yoona asked back and did not forget to explain: "I have no other intention, just pure curiosity."
How could Li Menglong question Yoona's attitude? He was thinking quickly about how to respond: "Well...the project needs to temporarily purchase a batch of props. In terms of cost..."
Yoona blinked her big eyes, which were full of wisdom. She was thinking!
She has given up on judging the truth and falsehood. She is thinking about whether there is a risk in lending money to Li Menglong. There seems to be no need to worry about this.
Let’s not talk about whether Li Menglong will take the initiative to default on the debt. Even if he does, Yoona can still find many ways to collect the debt.
For example, you can directly get the money from the company's books, or you can ask Li Shunkyu to ask for it, or you can even ask Li Menglong to work part-time to pay back the money.
Since there is no risk of breach of trust, it seems that there is not much to consider. How about taking the opportunity to gain some benefits for yourself?
But first Li Menglong was too impatient, and Pani in front was also urging, so Yoona could only transfer the money in a hurry.
When she saw the prompt that the other party's account had arrived, Yoona's sixth sense told her that there was something wrong, and she might have been a fool again.
But who put her in a good mood? Instead of continuing to struggle, she might as well enjoy the moment. By the way, could she choose a more expensive bag?
Pani originally planned to advise Yoona to be cautious, but after seeing the payment message on her mobile phone, she immediately became more generous: "Buy... you can buy them all, we have money!"
