Chapter 4016 4018 [A Gentleman Loves Money and Gets It in a Proper Way]

……

"You don't even want four hundred thousand in advertising fees? Oh my God, if it were me, I would have accepted it long ago." Wang Di sighed when he heard Xiang Nan reject the advertising invitation.

After his parents were laid off, they set up a stall to sell fried skewers every day. They were happy to earn 1,000 yuan a month. He couldn't imagine how many fried skewers he and his wife would have to sell to earn 400,000 yuan.

"Yeah, you don't make any money from 400,000? I would have made money too if I were you." Feng Xuejiao nodded.

"A gentleman loves money but gets it in a proper way. Those health products are all scams. I won't scam people just for such a small amount of money." Xiang Nan waved his hand.

If he wanted to make money against his conscience, he could easily get 400,000 yuan, even 4 million or 40 million yuan. The key point was that he didn't want to make money.

"Qin Li is right. We should be down-to-earth in making money, not in crooked ways." Huang Shu nodded and said, "My uncle did something shady, but not only did he not make any money, he always owed people money."

Her uncle Wang Haitao didn't find a proper job to earn money, but liked to make money in side jobs. He either worked as a waiter in a bar or set up gambling at home. As a result, he didn't make much money, but owed a lot of money.

Because he was a bartender, he inevitably developed the bad habit of eating, drinking and having fun, and the little money he earned was not enough to spend. He opened a mahjong parlor at home and invited people to play mahjong at home. It seemed that he could make some money, but he often couldn't control his addiction and played cards himself. As a result, he lost nine out of ten times and often lost so much money that he didn't even have money to buy groceries.

Therefore, she learned from her uncle that it is impossible to make money by taking shortcuts. Even if you really make money by chance, you will lose it very quickly and cannot keep it at all.

"My father is the same. He thinks that robbing money makes money quickly and in large amounts, but in the end, he will die quickly." Xiang Nan nodded.

"Of course robbery is not good, and crooked ways are not good either, but shooting commercials doesn't count. After all, so many celebrities are in commercials, and I haven't seen anyone get arrested." Wang Di pouted.

"Yes, don't those big stars all do commercials? And how many of them are really reliable?" Feng Xuejiao also curled her lips.

"I don't care what others do. I won't make this kind of money anyway." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said.

When we are young and energetic, we always want to change the world. But in fact, we realize that it is very difficult not to be changed by the world.

……

"Qin Li, I watched a really good movie two days ago." In the evening, Xiang Nan and Wang Di were enjoying the cool air on the top floor. Wang Di said to Xiang Nan with a smile.

"What good movies? Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Mission Impossible, X-Men, Snatch or The Matrix?" Xiang Nan asked curiously.

"Neither, it's a pornographic movie." Wang Di said mysteriously, "It's very enjoyable."

Xiang Nan smiled when he heard it.

"Why don't you ask me how I enjoy it?" Wang Di couldn't help but ask when he saw his reaction. He originally wanted to show off, but Xiang Nan's reaction made him feel a little disappointed.

"What's there to ask? It's just that little thing." Xiang Nan curled his lips.

He has seen countless women and is well-informed. What's so special about a mere movie? They are all his leftovers.

"How do you know? Have you seen it?" Wang Di asked puzzledly when he heard him say that.

"No, but it's easy to guess. It's nothing special." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Where did you watch the movie, the video hall on the corner?"

"Look at you, you still want to watch it." Wang Di said with a smile, "Let me tell you, you didn't watch it in the video hall, you watched it at Gao Lei's house." "Gao Lei?" Xiang Nan pouted, "This guy is boring, Wang Di, listen to my advice and don't associate with him."

"What's wrong? Is it because he wrote a love letter to Huang Shu that you have a problem with him?" Wang Di asked in confusion.

"He is free to write a love letter to Huang Shu. I have no opinion on that." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "But after he wrote the love letter, he didn't dare to give it to her himself. Instead, he entrusted you to do it.

I don't think he has any sense of responsibility as a man. I don't think he will be loyal to his friends. So if you are with him, be careful that he might cheat you one day."

"No, he's actually a nice guy. Last time on my birthday, he gave me a Jordan player card." Wang Di smiled, "But it's an authentic one, worth several hundred dollars."

"Then you have to be more careful." Xiang Nan shook his head and said, "There is no hatred without reason in the world, and there is no love without reason.

We are childhood friends, we grew up together, you protect me, I protect you, I give you gifts, you give me gifts, it's all normal. How long have you known Gao Lei, he gave you a few hundred yuan worth of star cards, don't you think he has some ulterior motives for you?"

"What does he want from me? I don't have much money." Wang Di said indifferently, "Besides, his family is so rich, and he doesn't take the things we think are expensive seriously at all. Why don't you stop worrying about it, okay?"

"Okay, just be careful." Xiang Nan heard him say that, it was not easy to persuade him anymore, so he could only give him a final reminder.

……

At the end of August, Xiang Nan gave Huang Shu 5,000 yuan to pay for Yuying's tuition and living expenses for the next six months.

"Five thousand yuan?" Huang Shu was surprised after receiving the money. "That's too much, Qin Li. How can I afford so much?"

"Not much. The tuition, food, living expenses, and rent for the second half of the year are all included here." Xiang Nan explained, "Five thousand yuan is not a lot. After all, I don't want you to live too hard."

The six-month room fee is 2,000 yuan, and the tuition and miscellaneous fees are at least 1,000 yuan, which is already 3,000 yuan. The remaining 2,000 yuan is only 340 yuan per month for six months, which is only 11 yuan per day on average.

Of course, this amount of money is not too small. In 2000, the average monthly salary of employees was only 780 yuan, note that it is the average monthly salary. In comparison, in 2024, the average monthly salary of employees exceeded 10,000 yuan, and many people actually earned less than 3,500 yuan per month.

It can be seen that 340 yuan a month is enough to live a decent life. It is not too good, but it is definitely not bad. For a girl like Huang Shu, it should be enough.

"Qin Li, where do you get so much money? You still have to pay your tuition and living expenses." Huang Shu said worriedly.

"I was recommended to go to university, so I don't have to pay tuition. Besides, the royalties from the articles I wrote are enough to support my life." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled, "To be honest, I have saved 20,000 yuan, which is enough for me to finish four years of university."

"Qin Li, you are amazing, thank you." Huang Shu nodded, deeply moved and said, "I really don't know how to repay you."

"Don't say that. I never thought about anything in return when I helped you." Xiang Nan shook his head.

"I know, and that's why I'm even more moved." Huang Shu nodded.

There are many people in the world who are nice to her, but she can see that those people are nice to her just because they want to pursue her. Zhang Xu, Gao Lei, and even Wang Di are all like this.

But Xiang Nan was not like that. The look in his eyes when he looked at her was pure, without a trace of lust. She knew that Xiang Nan was not being attentive to her because she was beautiful and wanted to pursue her, but was really helping her out of kindness and loyalty, so she was even more moved.

Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Don't think about it. Study hard and get good grades in the college entrance examination next year. That will be the greatest reward for me."
