"I'm not an unreasonable person. This watch is embellished with real diamonds and cost me more than a million yuan. I'll round it off, you can just compensate me with a million yuan. I want to see the money in my account within an hour. Otherwise..."

Zhao Xinchen squinted. "I will chop off the leg that you used to step on my watch."

Everyone in Zhao Xinchen's social circle knew that he would get up to evil all the time, and Li Ankang definitely didn't doubt his words.

Zhao Xinchen would definitely chop off his foot!

His legs shivering, Li Ankang nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes, don't worry. Young Master Zhao, I must raise the money."

"Zhao Xinchen has great potential for acting like a crook."

Yan Jinyi couldn't help but mock.

Huo Qingyuan had a grudge against Zhao Xinyue and hence could not bring herself to be friendly towards Zhao Xinchen. She rolled her eyes and said, "Second Sister-in-law, he's a crook to begin with."

Li Ankang was forced into the private room by Zhao Xinchen's subordinates while Yan Jinyi and Huo Qingyuan followed closely behind. They deliberately chose to sit in a dark corner.

In the past, Yan Jinyi was dressed in plain and boring clothes and often kept her head hung low. Now, she was dressed in clothes that were even more dazzling and bright than Huo Qingyuan's. Thus, Li Ankang didn't recognize her.

'He is indeed the heir of a wealthy family. Even though he has a girlfriend, he's still out with two beautiful girls.'

Li Ankang looked at the two figures in the corner and thought to himself.

"What are you waiting for?" Zhao Xinchen kicked the coffee table and hollered, "Hurry up and raise the money. I don't have time to play with you."

Li Ankang was scared soulless, and he hurriedly took out his cell phone to call Chen Yulian.

"Put her on the loudspeaker."

After the call with Chen Yulian was connected, Li Ankang pressed the loudspeaker button.

"My precious son, where are you? I cooked you a spread of delicious food."

Li Ankang looked at Zhao Xinchen who was glaring at him and said, "Mom, do you have a million yuan? I need it urgently."

Chen Yulian obviously didn't expect Li Ankang to ask her for money as she was stunned for a few seconds. "My dear son, what do you need a million yuan for? Has the college called to urge you?"

Li Ankang darted his eyes around and said, "There's an impressive teacher in school who plans to nurture a few top architects together with a foreign entrepreneur. The teacher has high hopes for me so he asked if I want to sign up."

Hearing this, Chen Yulian raised her eyebrows and asked, "That's great, the salary for a top architect must be very high, right?"

"Of course, the annual salary is a million US dollars."

Although Chen Yulian was lowly educated, she was keenly aware of the currency. She was immediately on cloud nine and she squealed, "That's such a high salary, you have to go!"

"However, there are conditions."

"No matter what conditions there are, I must come up with a solution!"

Yan Jinyi exchanged glances with Huo Qingyuan.

Li Ankang must be a repeat offender who often lied to his family.

"Mother, the conditions are that I must be a student of the school and I have to pay the training fees in advance. Mother, you know that such an impressive teacher definitely can't teach for free. The tuition fees, training fees, rent, and other expenses add up to about a million yuan."

"So expensive? Must you pay it all at once?"

Li Ankang continued to lie without changing his expression, "Yes, it's a one-time fee, but I will be able to go for an internship in half a year's time. During the internship, I will be able to earn 200 to 300 thousand a month. Mom, hurry up, the teacher just sent me a text message and told me that there's only one place left!"

Chen Yulian clearly hesitated.

"Mother, what's wrong with you? Hurry up, do you still want me to get ahead and be superior to others? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
