Chapter 1053
Joey pursed his lips awkwardly upon the man''s harsh and direct remark. He dared not oppose him,
hence he cleared his throat and hurriedly saying, "Alright, buddy, eight hundred then. Come quick!
I''m in a hurry.” 1
"Wait, how do I know if you''re cheating me? You are always so unreliable, I f*cking learned my
lesson a long time ago! Transfer the money over to me first!” 1
"Okay, alright, buddy, calm down! I''ll transfer the money over to you right now. Hurry,e quick,
don''t take so long!” i
"I’ll go when I receive the money. No money, no talk!” 4
Joey hastily took out his phone, opened the mobile banking app, and was ready to transfer eight
hundred dors to the man, but when he clicked to confirm the payment, he realized that his
ount had insufficient bnce! s
Only now that he realized he gave almost all of his savings to Max and only left five hundred dors
for himself as his daily expenses. His logic was simple-the more he gave, the more he earned, so
he decided t o be thrifty to himself with the five hundred dors until he received the earnings from
the so-called investment.
As a result, he couldn''t even fork out eight hundred
dors now. 2
He had no choice but to transfer five hundred dors first and then sent the man a voice message,
saying," Hey, buddy, I''m so sorry, I only have five hundred dors now, you take it first. I''ll transfer
the remaining three hundred to you as soon as I have the money!”
He immediately received a voice message, "Shut the f* ck up, d*mn it! Do you think it''s the first day
I know you? Last time, when I traveled to Hong Kong with my girlfriend, you asked me to buy a set
of cosmetics for your girlfriend which cost me 1,320 dors, you only paid me 1,100 and said that
you would give me as soon as you got your sry. What happened? You still owe me two hundred
and twenty today! How can you expect me to trust you again?” 5
Joey pleaded urgently, "Buddy, I''m so sorry for that incident, it is my fault, I forgot about it! Please,
don''t worry, I’ll never forget this, please trust me one more time! I''ll pay you together with the two
hundred and twenty dors, okay?"
"You take the five hundred first, thene and help m e tow the car away. When I sell the car, I''ll
pay you the remaining five hundred and twenty, okay? Let’s round it up, I''ll give you six hundred!"
The man insisted. "Nope! You must pay me eight hundred today, or I won''t go. Sorry, man." 1
After the voice message, the man clicked to ept the payment, then returned two hundred and
eighty
dors to him, and said, "You owe me two hundred and twenty, you can take the bnce. If you
need my towing service, transfer eight hundred to me!" 6 "You..."
Joey was on the verge of insanity! Not only did the man note to lend a hand, but he had also
deducted two hundred and twenty dors from the bnce. How could he hire another towing
service with two hundred and eighty dors?! 4
He gritted his teeth in dismay and said, "Okay, fine, I''ll borrow some money from someone else.
Can you pleasee and tow the car for me?" 2
"Of course. I have nothing to do anyway. I''ll go as soon as you transfer me the money."
Joey immediately sent a message to his colleagues'' chat group. "Hi, it''s Joey here. I''ve encountered
something urgent now and need a few hundred dors for emergency purposes. Can someone lend
m e five hundred and twenty dors, please? I’ll pay you on sry day!"
He only had two hundred and eighty dors right now, and he was five hundred and twenty dors
short for the towing service. 1
However, Joey was abhorred by his colleagues. There were about sixty to seventy colleagues in the
group, but none of them lent him money. Eighty percent of them ignored him, while those who
responded directly rejected him, giving him various excuses.
"I have no money", "My money is stuck in the fixed deposit ount", “I lost my money in gambling",
and s o on.
In short, they had no money to lend to Joey.
Joey stomped his feet in despair and called his girlfriend as thest resort.
"Janice baby, could you lend me five hundred and twenty dors, please?"
While panting heavily, his girlfriend said, "Joey Jensen, are you out of your mind? My girlfriends
receive money from their boyfriend and you dare to ask me for money? Are you not ashamed of
yourself?" 6
Joey exined hurriedly, "Baby, I''m sorry, I didn''t want to do this, but I urgently need the money
right now. Lend it to me first, and I’ll pay you back when I get my sry." 5
The girl moaned a few times before saying, "...Joey Jensen... you... you... you''re so useless... don''t
you even have five hundred and twenty dors in your pocket? What about your savings? Don''t you
have like a hundred thousand in your savings? Where did it go?" 4Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.
"Argh, it’s a long story. Please give me five hundred and twenty first, I’ll pay you backter alright,
baby?"
