Chapter 266 -228 Greed_2
With two assists, Kaiquan was officially going to confess to Yuxia.
He would win the beauty in one fell swoop.
Just thinking about it got him incredibly excited, and by the time he realized, he saw his book spinning nonstop on his fingers.
Unconsciously, Kaiquan had learned how to spin a book.
He looked thrilled and trembled all over, what did this signify? This damn well signified a cosmic response from the heavens.
“Brother Ma, tell me if I’m handsome or not?”
Kaiquan showed off his impressive book-spinning skills.
“It’s okay,” Ma Shicheng said.
Kaiquan wasn’t satisfied with that response and planned to show off to someone else. His eyes scanned around and spotted Zhang Chi focused on his phone at his desk to the north.
“How strange, what’s up with Zhang Chi?” he wondered.
Upon hearing this, Hu Jun said indifferently, “He’s busy earning money through online orders; he’s totally into it.”
Hearing about making money, Kaiquan was very interested since his New Year pocket money was almost spent.
For a high school student to earn his own living expenses was absolutely cool.
That was also why Shen Xu from Class 9 always sparked discussions.
Jiang Ning was awesome, but didn’t he still rely on his family for living expenses?
Kaiquan inquired, “Can you really make money from fulfilling orders?”
Hu Jun said, “Yeah, but it’s definitely hard. If someone can earn money from it, it means the waters are deep.”
He added, “How does that saying go? You can never earn money that’s beyond your understanding.”
Kaiquan thought Hu Jun’s words made quite sense.
He thought about it and decided to keep an option open:
“If Zhang Chi really makes money, I’ve got to ask him about it.”
After hearing this, Hu Jun felt disconcerted; he currently had a poor opinion of Zhang Chi, the guy who constantly used his toothpaste and showed no respect.
Rather than waiting for Zhang Chi to earn money, he’d rather wait for the gentle math teacher to come back.
Speaking of which, when is the math teacher coming back?
Hu Jun awaited eagerly.
…
While they were chatting, Zhang Chi’s phone screen displayed QQ, and he had just earned ten yuan from an order!
The platform he found required a deposit, with one hundred yuan as the original capital. Initially, Zhang Chi didn’t believe it, but the group chat was bustling, and everyone was discussing how much they’d earned, which greatly tempted him.
He couldn’t resist the temptation, borrowed forty yuan from someone, and added his own living expenses to make up the one hundred yuan for online banking.
Following the instructions, he transferred one hundred yuan, and anxiously waited two minutes, only to receive one hundred and ten yuan!
Zhang Chi was thrilled; he was earning money independently!
He fantasized about great wealth; soon another order came in.
Zhang Chi hurriedly clicked in, completed the payment, and one fluid motion, two minutes later, he received another one hundred and ten yuan.
How long was that? Twenty yuan in hand. If he kept earning like this, he could casually play and earn a few hundred or even a thousand yuan a day!
Zhang Chi’s mind was ablaze.
He could see a golden path unfolding before him; in terms of earning ability, wouldn’t he overshadow Shen Xu from Class 9!
Having now earned twenty yuan, he decided to withdraw money at noon and eat braised chicken that Guo Kun Nan and others kept raving about.
Zhang Chi had long been jealous, but the steep price of the braised chicken had deterred him several times. Not anymore. Sixteen yuan a serving of braised chicken? What was that?
Merely a few minutes of income.
Not to mention braised chicken, he could even afford KFC.
From now on, Zhang Chi would no longer be a poor kid; he was superior!
At this moment, that person sent him another message.
Another order came in!
This order was for fifty yuan. Zhang Chi unhesitatingly paid, invested fifty, and earned five yuan.
He felt a bit displeased; that was too little.
The person sent another twenty-yuan order, and Zhang Chi clicked in. A few minutes later, he had made two yuan.
He was somewhat dissatisfied now. How long would it take to earn real wealth? How would he fulfill his path to riches?
He wanted to make big money.
“Do you have any big orders on your side?” Zhang Chi asked proactively.
The other side was quiet for a while, then replied, “There are a few five-hundred-yuan orders left to process. Do you want them? It’s okay if you don’t; I still have twenty-yuan orders here.”
Each order took a few minutes, the bigger the order, the more money he would make.
A five-hundred-yuan order, earning fifty at a time, was enough for three meals of braised chicken, nearly Zhang Chi’s weekly living expenses.
How could he resist this temptation?
As for being deceived, he had never considered it. They let him earn more than twenty yuan just now, and even mentioned big orders implying there were options available.
Who would be foolish enough to fall for a scammer?
“Wait for me,” Zhang Chi replied.
A five hundred yuan task, he definitely wanted to do it, but at the moment, he only had a little over one hundred yuan; he didn’t have enough money.
He had to borrow money to make up the amount.
Zhang Chi asked Ma Shicheng and the others, “Bros, who of you has online banking? Lend me some.”
Guo Kunnan asked curiously, “What do you need online banking for?”
Zhang Chi cryptically said, “A wise man has his own uses.”
“Do you have it or not? Lend me some, I’ll return it by noon,” Zhang Chi said.
Guo Kunnan, always generous, pulled out his phone and asked, “How much do you need?”
Zhang Chi replied, “The more the better.”
Guo Kunnan said, “I only have fifty yuan online, I was planning to buy Apple earphones for 19.9.”
Zhang Chi assured, “Don’t worry, I’ll transfer it back to you by noon.”
After borrowing money from Guo Kunnan, he asked other people.
Ma Shicheng said, “I can’t this time, I need my online banking.”
Zhang Chi seemed strange to him; although Ma Shicheng wasn’t in a hurry to use it, he still didn’t lend him any.
As for Dan Kaiquan and Hu Jun, none of them lent Zhang Chi anything.
After a while, Zhang Chi had only managed to borrow fifty yuan, which was still far from enough!
He scanned the whole class with his eyes, finally settling on Jiang Ning.
Zhang Chi had barely interacted with Jiang Ning but he knew Jiang Ning definitely had money, especially since at the beginning of the school term last semester, when Guo Kunnan went out to surf the internet, he had borrowed money from Jiang Ning.
He approached him, interrupting the discussion between Jiang Ning and Chen Siyu:
“Jiang Ning, do you have online banking? Lend me five hundred.”
Jiang Ning had money after all, so Zhang Chi borrowed a bit more, planning to earn more later and then repay him.

Five hundred yuan was no small sum for a high school student; Chen Siyu, upon hearing this, looked at him curiously.
Jiang Ning had just been talking to Chen Siyu about a Taobao clothing item when he heard this, so he handed his phone to Chen Siyu and said:
“My online banking was just borrowed by someone else, it’s gone.”
During the early self-study period, Ma Shicheng came to him with Stride gum, asking to borrow six hundred yuan for online banking.
Ma Shicheng was upfront about it, mentioning that Redmi phones were popular and in hot demand; one could easily make a profit of one hundred and fifty yuan by reselling them.
Ma Shicheng wanted to try his luck at getting one, and even if he didn’t succeed, he wouldn’t lose money.
Six hundred yuan was nothing to Jiang Ning, so he just gave it.
Zhang Chi, however, was different; Jiang Ning’s Divine Sense had already detected what he was up to.
Lending him money was definitely out of the question, and he couldn’t even advise him; if he tried, Zhang Chi would surely turn against him immediately.
Upon hearing Jiang Ning’s online banking was used up, Zhang Chi’s facial expression froze; he didn’t say anything and looked at the Apple phone in Chen Siyu’s hand before striding away.
Zhang Chi had always thought Apple phones were expensive, costing thousands of yuan, but now it seemed, it was just so-so; if he continued swiping orders at this rate, he could buy two in a month!
But he still had not gathered enough capital for the five hundred yuan.
Zhang Chi continued searching for a target, finally setting his sights on someone, right, their class had a class president!
Zhongfei was wealthy and very generous; the cake last night, reportedly costing at least one thousand two hundred, meant five hundred was definitely within his reach.
Thinking this, Zhang Chi excitedly ran to find Huang Zhongfei.
A few minutes later, he finally got what he wished for.
Zhang Chi borrowed four hundred, adding it to his earlier one hundred, finally making up five hundred.
He returned to his seat and messaged the person: “Are you there?”
“Here.”
“I’ve taken the five hundred yuan task,” Zhang Chi said.
The person replied, “Alright, make the payment first.”
After hearing this, Zhang Chi clicked to pay; spending the 500 yuan didn’t hurt at all, he spent it without even blinking.
Now it was time to wait for the money to come in!
This time, he would earn a full fifty yuan; if he kept this up, couldn’t he earn thousands a day?
Zhang Chi was elated, strutting proudly, imagining his return to the village in glory after earning the money.
In the future at Fourth Middle School, he’d be the nouveau riche, the wealthy guy; eating KFC in the morning, ES restaurant at noon, and barbecue at night.
He waited for the payment to be credited, but after two minutes, nothing had arrived.
Zhang Chi, puzzled, patiently waited another two minutes; the bell for the big break rang, and it was time for eye exercises, yet the money still hadn’t arrived.
He panicked and hurried to contact the person.
Only to find out, he had been deleted, and that larger group for swipe order discussions had kicked him out as well!
Zhang Chi felt like a bucket of cold water had been dumped on him, chilled from head to toe; he suddenly realized:
“I’ve been scammed!?”
