20: How will you thank me? Verbally?

"Which company are you from?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yu couldn't help but ask.

"What's wrong?"

The two debt collectors exchanged glances, then laughed. "Why are you asking about our company? Do you want a loan?"

"Every wrong has a head, every debt has a master. The money her younger brother owes shouldn't be repaid by her."

As Zhang Yu spoke, he stepped forward and extended his arm, shielding Di Xiaoba behind him.

It was such an unintentional gesture.

Ripples formed in her heart once more.

From childhood to adulthood,

she had lived in an environment lacking love.

Ever since her younger brother joined the family at six, she had taken on the task of caring for him.

Even a slight mistake would result in punches and kicks.

Her childhood memories were full of being bullied.

When it came time to fill out college applications, she finally managed to travel thousands of miles from Beijiang to Jiangcheng to study.

But she still couldn't escape her family's control. Every now and then, they would ask for money under various pretexts.

After she started working and had a salary, Di Dad found out she earned over 10,000 a month and became even more insatiable.

He extorted her, treating Di Xiaoba like an ATM.

So Di Xiaoba couldn't swallow this, preferring to spend her money on expensive rent rather than keeping any of it.

Money couldn't be kept.

Now, her younger brother, wanting to indulge in pleasure, had accumulated a large sum of usurious debt, and when he couldn't cover it, he came to her again.

When Zhang Yu's tall figure blocked the way,

the warm current in Di Xiaoba's heart surged even more.

At this moment, thoughts of 'having no way to repay but to offer herself' all popped up.

"Are you a police officer from the Pacific? Meddling in so many affairs?"

The two debt collectors became a bit impatient.

"She's the only one in her family with money. If she doesn't pay, who will?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the Brother Tie you mentioned is Wang Tiejun, right?"

At this moment, Zhang Yu suddenly asked.

He seemed to have seen these two people at the entrance of Drunken Wind Tower.

Except they weren't guests; they were just leaving the entrance.

Hearing them call out Brother Tie again, he guessed that these two were likely Wang Tiejun's subordinates.

The two debt collectors were stunned.

He was only around 20 years old, how did he know their boss's name, and even call him by his full name!

"How dare you! Who are you? Is our boss's name something you can just call out?"

"My name is Zhang Yu." He smiled. "Go back and tell your boss that I'm taking care of this matter."

"Who is Zhang Yu? Never heard of him."

"But he sounds very confident, could he be a friend of Brother Tie?"

They were just the lowest-level debt collectors.

They didn't know who their boss dealt with daily.

But the person opposite them was clearly very confident, not someone they could afford to offend.

What if he really was a friend of Brother Tie, and they caused a conflict?

Not getting the money would be a small matter; their own livelihoods would definitely be gone.

They couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

And dared not argue further.

"You just wait, you won't escape this debt anyway!"

The two men left that sentence, then got into a van and drove away.

"You... know their boss, Wang Tiejun?"

Di Dad also realized Zhang Yu's identity at this moment.

They had just been driven to a dead end by the debt collectors, and with a few simple words, he made those people leave?

"That's right."

Zhang Yu smiled. "Can Di Xiaoba leave now?"

If he said yes, he would be sensible.

If he refused, Zhang Yu wouldn't be polite.

"Then my son's debt..." Di Dad hadn't finished his sentence.

Zhang Yu interrupted: "His signature is on the contract, his ID card. He's an adult; does he really expect to leech off his sister forever?"

This time it was tens of thousands of yuan in online loans.

If she repaid it, there would be hundreds of thousands for a bride price later, and hundreds of thousands for a house down payment.

This would always be a bottomless pit.

Even if she agreed, he wouldn't.

"But..."

"If he genuinely intends to repent, I can provide a bridge loan."

Zhang Yu smiled.

"Bridge loan?" The father and son were stunned.

"But this money has to be repaid. The interest will also be standard, not usurious. You can consider it yourself."

Replacing high-interest loans with low-interest loans.

It solved the problem and also brought business to his company.

Di Dad immediately said repeatedly, "It can be done, it can be done!"

"Landlord..." Di Xiaoba gently tugged his sleeve from behind. "If you lend them money, what if they run away and don't repay it...?"

She knew the father and son's character too well.

With debt on them, they would definitely find a way to default.

They were already bare-footed, so what was there to fear?

"Which financial company doesn't have its own methods?"

Zhang Yu smiled. "Don't worry."

For those who owe money, there are only those people don't want to manage, not those they can't manage.

"Landlord..." Di Xiaoba felt a bit bad. "Later, when I get my salary, I'll make up this money for you."

Repay her brother's debt? No way!

But she absolutely couldn't let Zhang Yu suffer any loss!

"Have you thought it through?" Zhang Yu asked again.

"We have, we have!" Di Dad and his son nodded.

"Then bring your documents and come to my company for an in-person signing tomorrow. Don't forget to repay on time."

Zhang Yu said.

"Definitely, definitely!"

They also knew that Zhang Yu could even make "Brother Tie's" people show some respect.

His underlying strength could only be higher, not lower.

Who would dare to owe such a person money and not repay it?

The father and son had just become a bit more honest when their minds started working again, and they quickly said to Di Xiaoba: "Why aren't you thanking your friend quickly?"

Zhang Yu couldn't help but roll his eyes at them.

"Let's go."

He turned and said to Di Xiaoba.

Wearing her Flight Attendant uniform, her short skirt prevented her from taking large strides.

She had to jog a few steps to keep up with Zhang Yu's pace.

"Thank you."

She said softly.

If he hadn't suddenly appeared and diffused today's situation,

the outcome would have been unacceptable to her.

Moreover, he stood up for her today.

It also let the father and son know that she had someone protecting her.

They wouldn't dare to easily come looking for her again in the future.

Di Xiaoba didn't love money, nor did she love handsome men.

But she was especially captivated by men who were masculine, influential, and could protect her!

Such men had overflowing masculine charm!

"What did you say?"

Zhang Yu hadn't heard her clearly just now.

"I said, thank you!"

"Who are you thanking on behalf of?"

"Of course, myself." Di Xiaoba said, "If it weren't for you, I really couldn't have left today."

As her words fell.

Zhang Yu also saw the system prompt: "Di Xiaoba's Peach Blossom Value +2 stars, currently 9 stars!"

Just one more star to reach full stars.

Full stars not only represented her emotional attitude.

The system also said it would trigger a special reward.

"Haha, how are you going to thank me? Just verbally?"

Zhang Yu smiled.

"Of course not."

Di Xiaoba shook her head. "I'd like to treat you to a meal to express my gratitude. Is that okay? You pick the place!"

After speaking, she realized that Zhang Yu's words seemed to imply something else?

Her face couldn't help but flush, and she didn't speak.

She hated herself for understanding instantly again!

Zhang Yu smiled slightly, it seemed she had also figured out what was going on.

Watching her reaction, he didn't show any displeasure.

This was what made him feel secretly pleased the most.

At this moment, several college-aged boys passing by looked over in surprise, as if they had seen a sci-fi movie.

Such a beautiful young lady, wearing a Flight Attendant uniform with added buffs,

actually offered to treat a man to a meal?

It was truly infuriating.

When they actively invited ordinary-looking girls from school to eat, they didn't get any good reactions, being criticized for not treating them well.

Not to mention, being treated by a girl proactively.

And such a beautiful girl at that!

At this moment, they realized that the gap between people was like heaven and earth.

It was truly a day of everyday emotional breakdown.
