The attic connects the past and present; I became a tycoon and got rich overnight!

Chapter 46 If it's his word, it's okay not to pay it back.
The two looked at Song You'an simultaneously and asked in unison, "Miss Song, do you have any ideas?"

Song Youan paused for a moment, then gently shook her head: "It's not a method that's guaranteed to work. People do tend to feel sleepy after lunch, and I'm the same way on weekdays, so I sometimes try to find ways to stay awake."

Zhu Ling became interested and looked at Song You'an with a serious expression, saying, "Miss Song, why don't you tell me?"

Song You felt relieved and tried to organize her thoughts, but her lips moved and she still couldn't think of what to say.

After a long pause, she sighed, "I don't know how to say it. If the young marquis is willing, I can let him use what I use, but I can't guarantee that it will be effective."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ling quickly said, "No rush. Let me use it first before you give it to him. I'll try it out and see if it works."

She thought to herself, since it's something Miss Song uses, it must be something new and interesting, so she should try it first.

Lin Sangqian was well aware of Zhu Ling's little scheme, and immediately laughed, "You don't study anyway, what use are you to me?"

“It’s not that it can’t be used.” Song You’an smiled. “It’s an energy booster, and anyone can use it if needed.”

To refresh?

Lin Sangqian nodded slightly and looked at Song Youan, saying, "Miss Song, if your stuff really has an energizing effect, it's likely to be snapped up by everyone again."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ling gently covered her mouth: "That's right. Kyoto is a gathering place for scholars. If there really is something that can refresh the mind, then we must buy it and use it."

As she spoke, she excitedly grabbed Song Youan's hand: "Miss Song, you have to let me use it first. You promised me that you would tell me as soon as you have any good things in the future."

Seeing this, Song Youan was both amused and exasperated.

"Then why don't you come to my Youan Residence quietly after lunch tomorrow, Miss?" Song Youan suggested.

Zhu Ling nodded quickly, her expression delighted.

Lin Sangqian also said, "I won't compete with Sister Ling, but I'll go and see what's going on?"

Song Youan nodded in agreement.

After returning to the villa, Song Youan cashed out all the two hundred taels of silver she had earned that day.

She leaned against the stairwell and stared at the system screen for a long time until the screen turned off on its own. She couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Last time, I accidentally unlocked a hidden achievement in the system. The trigger condition was that I achieved a transaction amount of ten million through item trading between two different time periods.

I haven't triggered any more hidden achievements since then.

She was just wondering what the trigger condition would be for the next hidden achievement.
A transaction volume of 5000 million?

Still one hundred million?

Or something else?

The system page is very simple, without any unnecessary explanatory buttons. It's like a blind box system, where every time a new feature comes out, it pops up on its own to give its so-called host a surprise.

Well, for now, the functions that pop up in this system are exactly what she needs right now, and that's enough.

As for hidden achievements, you might accidentally trigger them someday.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Song Youan and Chi Yu met downstairs at Tiandigang Building Materials Company.

"Yuan, how would you like me to help you?" Chi Yu asked.

Song Youan told Chi Yu her idea: she would pay for it, but she needed Chi Yu's identity to help her lend the money to her cousin.

Chi Yu nodded in agreement, but didn't forget to remind him: "Borrowing money is risky. Even the closest people may not necessarily pay you back. Besides, your cousin is facing a lot of difficulties, so the amount he needs must be quite large."

“I know.” Song You’an said calmly without hesitation, “If it’s a loan to him, it’s okay if he doesn’t pay it back.” Chi Yu was a little surprised, but then he heard Song You’an say, “My aunt treats me like her own daughter, and I treat my cousin like my own brother. Our relationship is no longer something that money can influence.”

In this way, Chi Yu would have no more worries.

Upon entering the company, the receptionist recognized Song Youan.

"Ms. Song, are you looking for Mr. Gu?"

Song Youan nodded. She usually went straight in when she came to the company, and this time was no exception.

The receptionist quickly said, "Ms. Song, Mr. Gu has important matters to discuss right now. Shall I take you to the lounge to wait for him?"

"I know where the lounge is, I'll go by myself."

The receptionist nodded without saying anything more, but subconsciously glanced at Chi Yu a couple more times. As soon as Song Youan went in, she couldn't help but gossip to her colleague, "Is that Miss Song's boyfriend? He's so handsome!"

"They look quite well-matched; he must be a rich second-generation."

"Yes, I saw the watch on his wrist, it's probably worth hundreds of thousands."

In the lounge, Song Youan waited for a while before becoming restless. She hesitated for a moment, then opened the door and walked into the office inside.

The office door was tightly closed, but the voices inside could be heard clearly.

"Mr. Gu, this is difficult. Didn't we agree on the interest rate before? I was about to transfer the money to you, but now you're arguing with me again."

"Mr. Wang, your interest rate is ridiculously high. Can you lower it a little? If you lower it a little, I'll sign immediately. That way, we can still cooperate in the future, right?"

"Mr. Gu, you're really funny. This is the first time I've ever heard of someone complaining about the high interest rates when borrowing from loan sharks. Do you even know what loan sharking is?"

usury?
Song Youan's face darkened, and she pounded on the door.

The atmosphere in the room froze for a moment. Gu Tianpei asked, "Who is it?"

"Brother, it's me."

Before Gu Tianpei could open the door, Song Youan turned the doorknob and pushed the door open herself.

The situation inside the room was somewhat unexpected for Song Youan. In the office, the person sitting in the leather chair behind the desk was not Gu Tianpei, but a fat, middle-aged man.

He had a cigarette dangling from his mouth, leaning back in his chair, his legs crossed on the desk. His dirty leather shoes were worn and tattered, which complemented his wrinkled trousers and yellowish white vest.

Beside him stood four or five men who looked like his underlings, all of them slovenly and unkempt.

Gu Tianpei stood alone in the center of the room.

With just one glance, Song Youan's brows furrowed.

When Boss Wang saw Song Youan push the door open and enter, his eyes lit up. He tried to sit up straight, but the chair slid backward and he almost fell off.

The henchman quickly reached out to help him up. He stood up in a fluster, a lewd smile on his face: "Oh, Mr. Gu, who is this?"

Seeing Boss Wang's expression, Gu Tianpei's eyes darkened. He quickly went to Song You'an's side and whispered, "You'an, you go back first. I have some things to take care of here."

"What are you dealing with? Borrowing money at exorbitant interest rates?" Song Youan asked coldly.

Gu Tianpei visibly stiffened, but realizing this wasn't the time to talk about this, he became anxious: "Listen to your brother, let's go back first, okay?"

"So you're Mr. Gu's sister." Boss Wang stepped forward with a sly smile, a gold tooth in his mouth that was now gleaming in a chilling way: "Don't be in such a hurry to leave, let's all sit down and have a chat."
