"What's your thought about what I told you? Don't tell me you really want to renege on your debt?"

As Shen Qingzhou spoke, he moved his hands under the table.

Old Zhong immediately jumped up in surprise, "No, no, I didn't say I wouldn't pay it back. My daughter is back, and I'll sell the house in the next few days. Besides, I've thought it through. I'm at the age where I should be working hard, so I'll find a way for you..."

Old Zhong spoke at an extremely fast pace, afraid that if he was even a step too slow, Shen Qingzhou would resort to underhanded tactics against him, and his old bones really couldn't take it.

"I was just asking casually, why are you so nervous?" Shen Qingzhou said with a smile, putting her hands back on the table.

"Haha... Why would I be nervous? Just kidding." Old Zhong forced himself to save face and sat back down. "But I haven't been idle lately. I've been looking around for people to do work for you, and I've actually found a few. But I need to confirm them first."

"We need to collect a deposit this time, lest it all come to nothing again."

"Don't worry, this time it'll definitely be better. Last time it was mainly because...mainly because..."

Old Zhong's face turned red, but he couldn't come up with a reason. He was an old hand at the game and knew better than anyone the principle of not acting until he saw the benefits. But even so, he still ended up with nothing. The reason was still greed.

Old Zhong chatted for a few more minutes and then left, saying he had to go run errands. Shen Qingzhou didn't believe a word he said; he figured this guy was probably looking for some small-time crook again.
