Chapter 117 Where's the money?
When Lu Youyou heard her father mention the bank card, her heart skipped a beat.

She immediately realized that her father had come specifically to see her because he wanted to borrow the money in that card for an emergency.

However, he had already given the card and the money to Chen Cheng...

Sure enough, before she could respond, Lu Zhixing said awkwardly, "Oh, I don't know if you've checked, but there's a million in the card your grandparents gave you. What I mean is, could you lend me the money in that card first? I'm still trying to raise funds everywhere. If I can raise enough money to continue supplying goods in October, there's still a chance. Once the client's payments are back to normal, I'll pay you back as soon as possible!"

For Lu Zhixing, one million yuan, while not enough to completely solve the problem, could at least extend the life of his business for a few more days.

If we put in a million here and a million there and think of a solution, the problem might just be solved.

At this moment, Lu Youyou lowered her head, feeling extremely nervous.

How should I tell my dad?

Would he be angry if he knew he lent a million to his classmate?

It's one thing to be angry, but the main concern is whether he'll make me go and get that million back.
Lu Zhixing originally thought that his daughter was so well-behaved and sensible that she would definitely agree without hesitation if she knew that her father was in trouble.

But to my surprise, my daughter was nervously fiddling with the table while her head was down.

He thought his daughter might not agree, and he felt a little disappointed. He could only laugh awkwardly and say, "Oh dear... Dad promises you, no matter whether we can get through this or not, Dad will pay you back. Even in the worst-case scenario, it's just that we lose this part of our income, and our family is financially secure."

Upon hearing this, Lu Youyou knew that her father had misunderstood. How could she possibly be reluctant to give him the money?

So she could only tell the truth: "Dad... that money... that money I..."

Seeing that she was stammering and couldn't give a clear answer, Lu Zhixing asked her, "Oh, is there something you're having trouble saying?"

Lu Youyou steeled her resolve and said, "Dad, that money isn't in my hands right now, so I probably can't give it to you."

Lu Zhixing was shocked: "Where's the money?!"

Lu Youyou frankly admitted, "I lent it to a classmate..."

"Did you lend it to a classmate?"

Lu Zhixing was stunned and pressed her for an answer: "You lent out a whole million?!"

"right……"

Lu Youyou nodded slightly, and said anxiously, "He said he wanted to do some business and needed money, so I lent him the money..."

Lu Zhixing felt a wave of dizziness and subconsciously said, "You... how dare you lend so much money to your classmate??"

Lu Youyou pursed her lips and said awkwardly, "He asked me to borrow it, so I gave it to him."

Lu Zhixing knew his daughter couldn't be lying, so he quickly asked, "Tell Dad, what classmate is so bold as to ask you for a million?!"

"High school classmates."

Lu Zhixing rubbed his forehead and asked her, "High school classmate... my dear girl, do you know what a million means? Aren't you afraid he'll take your money and run away?"

Lu Youyou said, "No... he's not that kind of person..."

“Knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing hearts!”

Lu Zhixing pressed on, "Was your classmate male or female? What was their name? Where are they now?"

Afraid that her father would ask Chen Cheng for the money, Lu Youyou quickly said, "I can't tell you his name, but that's the gist of it. He borrowed the money and said he would pay me back in about two months, and I agreed. So I don't have any money to give you right now..."

Lu Zhixing immediately said, "Call him and get your money back!"

"no!"

Lu Youyou said firmly, "I've already promised them, how can I go back on my word now? Besides, they might have already invested the money."

"Hey……"

Lu Zhixing felt that his daughter was incredibly stupid. He sighed and quickly asked, "Oh my, such a big thing, didn't you think about discussing it with the family when you made the decision?"

Lu Youyou argued logically: "My grandparents gave me the card, so I can use it as I please. I don't need to ask my family before lending it to my classmates, right?"

Lu Zhixing didn't know how to argue for a moment, so he said, "Fine, you can spend it as you please, but have you thought about the consequences of lending so much money to a classmate?"

"I've thought about it."

Lu Youyou said, "The best outcome is that he accomplishes what he wants to do and returns the money to me; the worst outcome is that he fails to accomplish what he wants to do and doesn't return the money to me."

Unable to contain his anger, Lu Zhixing questioned her, "Your classmate goes to start a business, and when it fails, you're expected to foot the bill? What kind of nonsense is that?"

Lu Youyou said, "He didn't say I had to pay... If it fails and I lose the money, he'll pay me back slowly..."

Lu Zhixing retorted angrily, "Your high school classmate is a freshman in college now, right? A freshman like you, so ambitious and self-important, not studying hard, borrowing a million from you to start a business, what kind of family upbringing produced this kid?! If he loses the million, will his parents pay it back for him? Or will he go out and work to pay you back in installments? The average monthly salary is less than a thousand now, he might not be able to pay it back in eighty years!"

Seeing her father speak so dismissively of Chen Cheng, Lu Youyou felt a surge of resentment and retorted firmly, "Dad, whether someone is overly ambitious or not is none of your business... Besides... besides, I already agreed when he asked me about this. If you think there's a problem, it's on my end, not his." "You..."

Lu Zhixing was on the verge of a breakdown.

Putting the million aside for now, he now seriously suspects that his daughter is in a relationship too early, and that she has been deceived by a scheming bad boy!

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were brainwashed!

Otherwise, how could such a smart and sensible daughter make such a brainless judgment?
He suppressed his anger and said earnestly, "Yoyo, you're an adult now. You need to be more mature in your judgment of people and things!"

"Dad thinks you've probably been scammed. The best thing to do now is to find him and get your money back immediately. If he gives it back, everything will be fine. If he doesn't, call the police right away and contact his parents!"

"We'll recover as much as we can before he squanders all the money, and then we'll get the rest back by suing him and his family!"

Lu Youyou said firmly, "No! When I lent him the money, I told him I wasn't in a hurry to use it. He can pay me back whenever it's convenient for him. I won't go back on my word."

Lu Zhixing was furious and said with exasperation, "You...you've really been brainwashed! That's a million, not a hundred! Even if he really wants to start a business, do you think he can handle it? If you don't stop him now, what if he loses all the money? Wouldn't his life be ruined?"

Lu Youyou shook her head: "I believe him."

What do you believe in him?

Lu Zhixing trembled with anger, feeling as if his daughter of eighteen years had run off with someone else. He retorted sharply, "Do you believe that an eighteen-year-old college student could take your million yuan to do business and still make money?!"

"Correct."

Lu Youyou nodded firmly and said, "I believe it!"

"I……"

Lu Zhixing rubbed his temples hard, then rubbed the bridge of his nose, and then looked at Lu Youyou again and asked, "Okay, Dad is asking you, did he tell you what kind of business he's going to do? Tell me, and I'll analyze whether his business is reliable or not."

Lu Youyou thought for a moment and then told the truth: "He said that the number of taxi licenses in Jiangcheng would definitely increase, so he wanted to buy a taxi company."

"Taxi license plates?"

Lu Zhixing was a little confused. He didn't know that this thing could be used as a business.
However, he quickly came to his senses and realized that everything has its value, and things with value can be used for business.

So he immediately took out his phone and said, "I'll call a friend right now. He runs a taxi company in Jiangcheng and he's my junior high school classmate. Wait for me to ask him."

As he spoke, he found a phone number and dialed it, making sure to turn on the speakerphone.

When the call connected, the other person smiled and asked, "Zhixing, what can I do for you?"

Lu Zhixing said, "Old Feng, I want to ask you something."

The other person said, "Go ahead."

Lu Zhixing asked, "What's the current market situation for taxi license plates in Jiangcheng?"

"Taxi license plates?"

The other party asked in surprise, "Why would a big boss like you pay attention to a small business like ours?"

Lu Zhixing said, "I asked for a friend."

The other person said, "The taxi quotas haven't been doing well lately; they've been falling."

After saying that, the other party explained, "Do you remember what I told you yesterday? The city requires all cars to be replaced with Fukang cars by the end of the year. I've used all the money I've saved up over the years to buy a new car, and that's why the quota price has been reduced."

Lu Zhixing asked him, "Do you think there's still a chance for the index price to rise?"

The other party laughed and said, "What's the point of raising prices? There are quite a few people who can't afford to buy a new car, and they're all making moves recently. The actual transaction price of license plates is falling every day. I think it wouldn't be surprising if they dropped to 30,000 or 40,000 by the end of the year."

Lu Zhixing's face turned ashen as he listened, while Lu Youyou, listening from the other side, looked on with worry.

Remembering what Lu Youyou had just said, Lu Zhixing asked her, "By the way, have you heard the news that someone recently bought a taxi company?"

The other party said, "There are quite a few companies that want to sell recently, but it seems that only one has been sold. The colleague who sold the company was quite happy and even treated us to a meal."

Lu Zhixing quickly pressed further, "Do you know who it was sold to?"

"I don't know."

The other party said, "I only know that colleague, but we chatted a bit at dinner. I heard the buyer is quite young, only eighteen or nineteen."

Lu Zhixing and Lu Youyou immediately tensed up.

Without hesitation, Lu Zhixing said, "Old Feng, could you please ask your colleague what the name of the young man who bought his company is?"
