I am a demonic cultivator, not a capitalist with a conscience.

Chapter 419 You scoundrel! (36)

In Changsheng Prefecture, the two most hated things are taxes and loans.

Many loans are obtained in a murky manner, and often people don't even know how they came about. They are inexplicably given loans, and only a few years later do they realize that the previous loans have multiplied several times over.

What Lin Jiashu has in his hand now is a loan from the past.

This loan was something he owed in Changxia before. It was originally just a small medical check-up fee, but at the time he didn't know that someone had taken out a loan for it, and now it has ballooned to 47,000.

The loan was issued by the Xu Group. According to their payment reminder, they will be here today to discuss the subsequent loan repayment.

Looking at the list, Lin Jiashu sighed again, and then felt a pair of rough hands grasp his.

Turning his head, he saw his Daoist partner, Lin Tingzhu, leaning gently on his shoulder and saying softly, "It's alright, it's not your fault. Besides, the Xu Group isn't unreasonable. It's a good thing that they're willing to come and negotiate; perhaps there's still a chance for things to turn around."

"Ah."

"At worst, we can take on more jobs. There are plenty of job opportunities in Tianyuan now, so there won't be any problem."

"Ah."

Looking into the distance, Lin Jiashu suddenly said, "Actually, I wanted to apply for a job at Chenguang. Although it's a newly established small company and the salary probably won't be very high, Chen Yu has been kind to us, and I want to repay him."

"That's good."

"but……"

Lin Tingzhu suddenly tightened her grip, causing Lin Jiashu to let out a soft shout.

She looked at Lin Jiashu with dissatisfaction and said seriously, "I know what you're worried about. Less salary is fine. Medical care is free now, and we can figure out the child's situation together. Don't worry, you still have me."

Lin Jiashu touched his Daoist partner's hand.

These hands used to belong to a sound engineer, but now they've become very rough.

Since the family ran into trouble, former customers have refused to hire them out of taboo, while some have taken advantage of their misfortune, wishing they could turn the family of four into musical instruments so they could only play for them every day.

The once friendly guests bared their fangs, each hoping to take a bite out of the family of four and squeeze their money dry.

Even now that they're broke, those hyenas are still following them, trying to extract all their rare musical talent and turn it into their own money-making tools.

Just as Lin Jiashu was feeling sentimental, he saw someone descend from the sky and land in front of them.

The leader was a very handsome young man with a gentle and refined smile, exuding a captivating Taoist charm.

But there seemed to be a dark aura between his brows, which made Lin Jiashu immediately realize that the other person had the same experience as him and was also a person who had suffered a calamity.

In his arms was a small black cat, curled up like a thick fog, looking like it was sleeping soundly.

After landing, the young man looked at Lin Jiashu and then said with a smile, "You must be Mr. Lin Jiashu. I am Xu Zilong, the tenth in line to inherit the Xu Group."

The ranking method of large conglomerates is basically the same, and the tenth person is already a very high position within the conglomerate.

The other party reportedly has hundreds of billions of dollars at their disposal, and can freely use various group resources, placing them among the top in the industry.

Before the incident, Lin Jiashu was not qualified to communicate with the other party. Unexpectedly, this loan agreement actually attracted the other party's attention.

Nodding neither servilely nor arrogantly, Lin Jiashu said, "Young Master Xu, you've come all this way, what do you want me to do?"

Xu Zilong chuckled softly, "Actually, it's nothing. I'm planning to pick up my old dream-related business again; we're short-handed right now. Mr. Lin, you don't want your partner and daughter to continue wandering with you, do you?" "Hmm..."

"The debt is easy to resolve. If you're willing to work for our Xu Group, I'll immediately convert this loan into a low-interest loan. In addition, your monthly salary can reach 11,000, with bonuses to be calculated separately."

"This one……"

"In addition, our Xu Group will provide you with brand-new medical services. We can cure even the most mundane evil spirits directly. Of course, medical expenses will be covered by medical insurance, guaranteeing that you will be reimbursed for 50%."

After listening carefully, Lin Jiashu had to admit that the conditions offered by the other party were quite attractive.

However, he was also aware of the conflict between the Xu Group and Tianyuan, so he asked directly, "But I have a question."

"Please say."

"I hope to repay Chen Yu of Tianyuan for his kindness. If I join the Xu Group, would you agree to let me repay his kindness in my spare time?"

Xu Zilong did not answer immediately, but instead carefully observed Lin Jiashu in front of him.

He had met the other person at a large music gala.

The other party is one of the cultivators most valued by the Star Lord of Music. While ordinary musicians are easy to find, those who can create melodies that can move cultivators are extremely rare.

Although the other party was a Qi Refining cultivator, his mastery of music was extraordinary; he could even evoke emotions and stir the hearts of others with just a piece of music.

Lin Jiashu was once full of vigor and ambition. Now, he is thin and frail, a stark contrast to his former dashing and elegant self.

Even so, the other party's pride remained unbroken, and he still possessed his own unique demeanor.

Xu Zilong knew that if he lied, the other party would definitely not be able to tell.

However, he also knew that if the other party found out they had been deceived after joining the company, they would definitely abandon the Xu family immediately, and there would be no possibility of cooperation afterward.

With his eyes closed, "Xu Zilong" seemed to still hear that breathtaking performance, and his gaze softened.

He opened his eyes again and said solemnly, "I'm sorry, no."

"Then my answer is also no."

With a regretful sigh, "Xu Zilong" knew that he would not be able to take the person away safely today.

However, since the loan is in my possession, I also have the power to use violent debt collection methods. Once I take the person away, they will have no say in the matter.

As he raised his hand, two thugs were about to step forward when someone said, "Xu Zilong?"

One of the thugs immediately turned around, about to shout insults, when he heard the other party say, "Get out of the way."

"Ok."

The two thugs immediately stood aside, obediently watching this scene, looking as docile as could be.

Looking helplessly at the two, "Xu Zilong" knew that they were probably under some kind of spell, which was why they were so useless.

But aren't you two a little too useless?
With no other option, Xu Zilong turned his head, smiled at Chen Yu who was coming over, and waved as if he were an old friend, saying, "Chen Yu, it's been a long time."

Chen Yu, still frowning, asked, "Xu Zilong, what are you doing here, you scoundrel?"
