Chapter 71: Suspect

  Seeking sponsorship...

  Although allowing Zhang Li to spread his personal information to a certain extent may inevitably bring some unnecessary troubles, such as spam messages and sales calls, one cannot refrain from eating for fear of choking.

  Just as people buying new cars can't avoid attracting the attention of thieves, and running a gold shop can't avoid attracting masked robbers, we can't stop buying new cars or running gold shops just because thieves and robbers exist.

  Especially now, Sun Zesheng has very limited channels to expand his business and he doesn't have the money for advertising. Moreover, even if he had the money, it's not certain that anyone would believe him even after advertising.

  At this initial stage of entrepreneurship, any opportunity that can be utilized must be seized, especially the good reputation established through word of mouth, which is the most important wealth at this stage.

  Now that there's trouble, what to do? Of course it's to think of a way to solve it.

  Whether in the past or in the future, Sun Zesheng was not a person who was content with being lonely. He was even more unwilling to be an ordinary and mediocre person. This destined that his growth would touch on many people's interests, inevitably attracting attention from all sides and bringing all sorts of trouble.

  Whether he is willing or not, whether he has the ability or not, all these troubles must be solved.

  This is a process he must go through and no one can replace him.

  He hung up the phone and Sun Zesheng continued to bury his head in his music theory textbook.

  Zhang Xinglong rushed in from outside again, his face puffed up with a flattering smile. "Sun Zesheng, boss, I found that you've been having quite the luck with women lately. The girls who come looking for you are all prettier than the last, and today even Yin Xian'er showed up. You can't be like this, monopolizing so many beauties by yourself. Be careful or you'll get kidney deficiency!"

  Sun Zesheng glanced at Zhang Xinglong, "Old big brother, we've been classmates and dormitory mates for two years now. I don't know you too well, but I also don't know you too little. To put it crudely, as soon as you clench your butt, I know what kind of crap you're going to take. Speak up, what kind of sinister plot are you concocting this time?"

  "Look at what you're saying, what's the big deal about being cunning? I just have a small request, and I hope you can agree to it." Zhang Xinglong said with a smile.

  "You say it, I'll listen. However, there's one thing I must declare: if you want me to deceive Wang Xiaofeng and introduce another person to you, that's impossible. I'm timid, but I don't want to provoke the tigress in your family." Sun Zesheng teased Zhang Xinglong with a sentence.

  Zhang Xinglong smiled wryly, "I have that thought, but I don't have the guts. Besides, your sister-in-law is actually quite gentle, you little virgin, purely sour grapes."

  Sun Zesheng smiled faintly, "Get out of here, what's with all the nonsense? What is it that you want to ask for, spit it out quickly."

  Zhang Xinglong made a "small" gesture with his hand, "My request is not big or many. Didn't you promise to invite me and your wife to dinner? Let's discuss it, can we not invite us to dinner instead, and change to another way to invite me and your wife."

  "How?"

  Sun Zesheng knew that Zhang Xinglong was a typical foodie, and once he saw something delicious, he couldn't move. What's going on today? Is the sun rising from the west?

  Zhang Xinglong looked a bit embarrassed, he even deliberately closed the dormitory door and locked it from the inside before saying:

  "It's like this, can you buy a water dispenser for your sister-in-law's dormitory? Of course, not in your name, but in my name as the eldest. Just now, your sister-in-law called me again and said that several dormitories around them all have water dispensers, which were all given by their boyfriends, and they're pestering me, insisting that I also give one."

  "So, you thought of me?" Sun Zesheng looked at Zhang Xinglong with dissatisfaction. "Wang Xiaofeng is your girlfriend, not mine. Why didn't you send it and let me send it? Besides, a water dispenser doesn't cost much money. A cheap one can be bought for less than 100 yuan. A good one, even if it's expensive, would only cost three or four hundred yuan. You can't even afford this little bit of money?"

  Didn't I say so? It's in my name.

  Anyway, you have to invite me and your wife to dinner, now it's just a matter of time before you turn into a water dispenser.

  To be honest, I'm also not hiding from you that my hands are quite tight recently. My mom hasn't sent me the living expenses for next semester yet. I also have a girlfriend to support and need to buy materials for the postgraduate exam. Money is spent like flowing water, and 100 yuan is already a huge amount of money for me.

  A penny is hard to come by for heroes!

  "Sun Zesheng, sympathize with me for my bitter and hard life."

  Zhang Xinglong performed with great passion and emotion, it's a pity that he didn't join the drama troupe, wasting his talent.

  Sun Zesheng shook his head, took out his wallet, counted out 300 yuan and handed it to Zhang Xinglong. "Since we're buying, let's get two. One for your girlfriend and one for our dormitory. This way, drinking water will be more convenient in the future."

  Sun Zesheng had just earned 500,000 yuan, and the money for buying a water dispenser was nothing to him. Moreover, Zhang Xinglong gave him a good feeling, he was a friend worth making. Not to mention other things, Zhang Xinglong was already lively enough in daily life, which made Sun Zesheng happy. Just because of this, he didn't want to refuse Zhang Xinglong's small request.

  Zhang Xinglong took the money and couldn't help but kiss the bright red Chinese currency, "Sun Zesheng, you're really too awesome. Let me tell you, if I were a girl, I would definitely marry you."

  "With your appearance, if I were to bring you home for the New Year, we wouldn't need to set off firecrackers; the monsters of the year wouldn't dare come near." Sun Zesheng chuckled and teased Zhang Xinglong.

  Zhang Xinglong smiled casually and put the money away, then mysteriously leaned in close to Sun Zesheng.

  "Big brother, I didn't take advantage of you for nothing. Just now, Yin Xian'er and the others didn't drive me out, did they? I took this opportunity to compare the list I got with several dormitories around us, guess what?"

  Apart from you, two others from our dormitory have signed up for the foreign language speech contest, one is Xiao Chaoyang and the other is Luo Xilai.

  "I personally think Xiao Chaoyang has major suspicions of committing a crime."

  "Tell me your reason." Sun Zesheng showed a few points of interest, although he expressed an attitude of not caring about the theft of the speech draft, but if he could find out the real culprit, he would also welcome it.

  "As far as I know, Xiao Chaoyang's family is not rich and has no money. People who are poor have short ambitions. Moreover, I heard from people in their dormitory that they often lose some things. They all suspect that it was done by Xiao Chaoyang, but they don't say anything because they don't want to hurt their classmate's feelings." Zhang Xinglong said somewhat mysteriously.

  Sun Zesheng furrowed his brow, he just didn't like hearing those four words "poor and short-sighted".

  In his previous life, he was born into a poor family and still achieved what others could hardly match.

  In this life, he replaced Sun Zesheng. The Sun family was not considered wealthy either, and the family might not even be able to take out a deposit of 500,000 yuan, but he never felt the embarrassment and inferiority of "poor and short-sighted" on Sun Wenbin and Feng Yueying's faces.

  Thank you (Scarecrow) and friend 0402 for your reward, thank you.
