Chapter 86: Chapter 86 What Opportunity
“That’s true,” Tong Mo sighed.
These evil capitalists, all they know is how to fleece us!
They said it was for a public welfare tree-planting festival, yet they’re making the students pay for the seedlings!
“Don’t be so down, guys. Am I really the only one who thinks the school asking for money again is a good thing?” Lu Zichen, who had overheard two girls discussing this, immediately leaned in from his seat and made faces at them.
Luo Mengmeng and Tong Mo looked at him as if he were an idiot, asking in unison, “Are you out of your mind?”
He actually thought giving money to the school was a good thing?
Forget about them, even Gu Zhihan, who usually keeps to himself, couldn’t help but lift his gaze and give him a look.
“Don’t curse me just yet, wait until I’ve finished,” Lu Zichen said, knowing from their look that they had misunderstood him, and continued, “You see, although the school charges us for everything, they also give us opportunities!”
“What opportunities?”
Luo Mengmeng listened with a baffled expression.
She understood every word he said, but why didn’t it make sense when put together?
Tong Mo felt the same.
Only Gu Zhihan had already guessed what sneaky idea he had.
What other opportunity could there be, but…
“It’s the opportunity to extort some money from our parents. Say the school asks us for ten bucks, we then ask our parents for twenty!” After Lu Zichen finished speaking and saw the shocked look on the two girls’ faces, he couldn’t help but be surprised himself, and asked in disbelief, “Hey, don’t tell me you guys have never done something ?”
Mengmeng and Tong Mo shook their heads honestly.
“What about you, Gu Zhihan? Have you ever done it?” Lu Zichen refused to believe he was the only one who had ever done this.
“What do you think?” Gu Zhihan responded with a rhetorical question, giving him a cold glance before lowering his head to continue reading.
Such a response clearly indicated that he had never done it, and even held it in utter contempt!
Apparently, nobody had really ever done it.
Lu Zichen’s mouth twitched uncontrollably, suddenly feeling like sludge in a gutter.
No, he couldn’t let himself be the only sludge!
“Ahem, even though you’ve never done it before, you can try it now. We can use the extra money to buy whatever we want!” Lu Zichen was ready to drag them down with him, his eyes sparkling as he looked at them.
“Is that really okay?” Luo Mengmeng nibbled on the tip of her pen, her little eyebrows furrowed in hesitation.
After all, this was a form of deceiving their parents…
“I think it’s a great idea!” Unlike Luo Mengmeng’s hesitation, Tong Mo’s eyes shone brightly, eager to try, “If I can scam some money, I can buy the magical girl stickers I’ve been wanting!”
Anyway, the money her good-for-nothing dad had, if she didn’t scam it, he would spend it on his mistresses. Maybe it was better to make him cough up the cash during this tree-planting fee occasion.
“That’s the spirit!” Lu Zichen saw that Tong Mo was on board and gave her a thumbs up. Then he turned to Luo Mengmeng, ready to pull her in as well, “Mengmeng, what about you? Don’t you want to give it a try? Don’t you have something you really want to buy but can’t afford?”
Perhaps because of his young age, Lu Zichen didn’t think there was anything wrong with such behavior, he even felt a bit proud, because it meant getting more money from his parents to buy more things.
