Chapter 181 Borrowing Money Test
After this scene was filmed, Jin Qixuan's role for the day ended.

After recording a Christmas greeting video with the four main actors, Kim Ki-hyun and Yoo In-na went to Jamsil Gymnasium together to watch Lee Ji-eun's concert.

However, on the way to Jamsil Stadium, Kim Ki-hyeon received a call asking him to record a Christmas greeting promotion with Han Hyo-joo at the CJ Building.

"Hey... Sister Inna, I have to go to the CJ building to record a Christmas promotional video. You go first, I'll be there soon."

"It won't take that long. I'll go with you."

After saying that, Liu Inna turned on the turn signal and drove towards the CJ Building.

Seeing this, Jin Qixuan gave a timely and rainbow fart:

"Wow, Inna is so warm, beautiful, kind, and has a nice voice. No wonder Ji Eun likes you so much. If I were a few years older, I would definitely pursue Inna like crazy."

Even though Liu Renna was used to Jin Qixuan's sweet talk, she couldn't help but smile when she heard such flattery.

After arriving at the CJ building, Kim Ki-hyeon met and greeted Han Hyo-joo and started filming the video.

There wasn't much content. Han Hyo Joo wore a reindeer hairpin and Kim Ki-hyun wore a Christmas hat. They recorded it three times and then it was finished.

However, after the recording was completed, the staff handed the two a card.

The two took the card and put their heads together to look at the content: [Christmas Mission - Loyalty Test: Call your friend now to borrow 100 million. If it is found that it is not a real loan, it will be considered a failure. If you fail three times in total, you will be punished by the girl group dance.]

To be honest, this test is quite a test of human nature. After all, 100 million is not a small amount of money.

The real difficulty lies in the fact that artists do not have much liquid funds on hand.

In Peninsula, almost all artists have dedicated investment advisors to help them manage their finances.

On the other hand, artists like Jin Qixuan who hold on to their money tightly are completely different.

The purpose of the production team doing this test was to rely on each other's friends to attract traffic and achieve the effect of promoting the movie. The production team never considered that the two would not be able to borrow money.

More importantly, the audience enjoys this test of human nature.

"Sister Hyo Joo, you fight first?"

"Row."

After saying that, Han Hyo Joo took out her cell phone, found a number in the address book and dialed it.

“Hello? Jahyun unnie~”

……

Not surprisingly, Han Hyo Joo easily borrowed 100 million.

Before hanging up the phone, Choo Ja-hyun sincerely wished her movie "Brave Citizen" a big box office success.

When it was Jin Qixuan's turn, he didn't know who to call for a moment.

Kim Ki-hyun is more familiar with the situation of Ryu Jun-yeol and Park Bo-gum.

Although Ryu Jun-yeol and Park Bo-gum made a lot of money this year, they were very poor before they became famous.

The money I earn is either used to pay off the family debts or to provide household expenses or to take out a loan to buy a house to provide my family with a comfortable living environment. The funds on hand are absolutely limited, and it is possible that I cannot come up with 100 million.

Li Donghui naturally pampers his young model girlfriend to the extreme, and even the financial power is controlled by her.

So after much thought, Jin Qixuan had no choice but to call Lee Hye-ri.

Speaking of it, it shouldn't be a problem for the new "billionaire girl" to come up with 100 million, Jin Qixuan thought to himself.

At that time, the four girls of Girls Day were in the room together.

"Huili, your phone is ringing!"

"Ah? Did Oppa rush me? Please help me tell him that I'll be there soon!"

Lee Hye-ri's voice was heard from the bathroom.

After all, it's Christmas, and the young couple must go out on a date.

After finishing the day's schedule, Lee Hye-ri went home to get dressed.

"Oh."

Jin Yarong responded and picked up the phone on the table.

But when she saw the name on the caller ID, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

For a moment, the scene where Jin Qixuan helped her hold the microphone at the TVN 10th Anniversary Awards Ceremony came to her mind again.

I don’t know why, maybe just because I wanted to hear his voice, Jin Yarong answered the phone for some unknown reason.

Seeing that the call was connected, Jin Qixuan did not exchange pleasantries and went straight to the point:

"Huili, please lend me some money."

How can you borrow money and still feel justified?
Jin Yarong chuckled, but she quickly reacted.

Borrow money?

In her impression, Kim Ki-hyun is basically the same as Kim Jong-kook, and there is no need to spend money.

His clothes are sponsored by brands, and he doesn't have any money-spending habits. He spends all day either in the gym, on set, or at school.

The most important thing is, where did the money he earned go?
Maybe he was financially blocked by his uncle again?

Jin Yarong thought so, but suddenly, she remembered that today was Christmas.

I spent last year's Christmas with him, so this year's Christmas...

Kim Ah-young glanced at Lee Hye-ri, whose figure was dim in the bathroom.

In an instant, Jin Yarong figured out the answer.

He borrowed money to go out and have fun with his new girlfriend!

Perhaps it was out of jealousy, or perhaps she couldn't bear to see Jin Qixuan give up on her so quickly.

Anyway, Jin Yarong was angry and shouted into the phone:

"No borrowing!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

"Beep beep..."

Looking at the busy tone coming from the phone, Jin Qixuan scratched his head awkwardly.

From Han Hyo Joo's perspective, after Jin Qixuan said the word "borrow money", there was silence on the phone for five seconds, and then he angrily shouted that he would not lend it to him.

God knows what kind of psychological struggle the other party went through during these five seconds, but it did not stop Han Hyo Joo from wanting to see Kim Ki-hyun make a fool of himself by dancing a girl group dance.

Facing the laughter of the surrounding staff and Han Hyo Joo, Jin Qixuan was still making excuses for Lee Hye Ri:
"She may think I am teasing her, but actually Shi Li is a very good person and a friend worthy of trust..."

Although he said this, Jin Qixuan had already cursed Lee Hye-ri eight times in his heart.

"Jin Qixuanxi still has two chances. Please call the next one."

"OK……"

Jin Qixuan opened the address book again, his eyes stopped at the most recent contact Liu Inna, and then dialed the number.

"Sister Inna, lend me some money."

"Have you finished recording the video? I'm at Floor 2, Basement F, Section 8... Borrow money? Why are you going upstairs to record a video?"

Liu Inna was very surprised about the topic of Jin Qixuan borrowing money. It’s not that it’s a real thing, and their relationship doesn’t seem to be good enough for him to borrow money casually. After all, they have only known each other for a short time.

"Um... it's a little useful. I'll circulate it around and return it to you at the end of the month."

"Ah...how much do you want to spend? Let me tell you first, I'm not as rich as Jieun."

"Well, one hundred million... two hundred million."

Seeing that the PD kept pointing two fingers at him, Jin Qixuan had no choice but to change the words.

“Why is it still rising?”

Liu Renna was stunned, then suddenly reacted:
"Oh, are you recording a show? Borrowing money for a test?"

"Tsk..."

As Jin Qixuan smacked his lips, deafening "Hahahaha" sounds instantly erupted around him.

"Inna-unnie~ I'm Han Hyo-joo."

"Ah! Hyo Joo! Hello~ You are recording a show after all!"

"Yes, we are doing a loyalty test. Those who fail will have to dance with a girl group. Qixuan only has one chance left."

“Ah…hahaha~”

The sweet laughter of Liu Renna coming from the phone was extremely piercing, making Jin Qixuan want to give him a big fight.

Why should I borrow money from this old variety show host?
However, Liu Renna seemed to know that Jin Qixuan was in a bad situation at the moment, so she stopped laughing in time and said sensibly:
"Qixuan, I'm sorry~ I wish your new movie a big box office success~"

"Thank you very much. We'll hang up now~" After saying that, Han Hyo Joo hung up the phone with a smile, then looked at the PD with a smirk and asked:

"PDnim, I remember Qixuan danced to "something" before, what dance did he do this time?"

"TT by Twice"

"TT?"

As she spoke, Han Hyo Joo cutely demonstrated the dance moves for the chorus of "TT".

Speaking of which, the girl group Twice is very powerful. They have become one of the most popular girl groups today only one year after their debut.

Whether it is music performance, album sales, number of hits and number of fans, they all crush the Red Velvet Art Troupe which debuted a year earlier than them.

In every drama written by writer Kim Eun-sook, there will definitely be some currently popular boy/girl groups or celebrities making guest appearances, with the main focus being on cultural output.

For example, in "The Heirs", Bo Na, played by Krystal Jung, saw the BTOB boy band rehearsing on the stage (PS: the boy band that the original actor who played Yoo Deok-hwa in "Goblin" - Yook Sung-jae - was in).

In the drama "Descendants of the Sun", Song Joong-ki's character Yoo Shi-jin and Jin Goo's character Seo Dayong cheered crazily for the Red Velvet Art Troupe who came to the army to give a consolation performance.

In the current episode of "Goblin", there is a segment where Gong Yoo, Lee Dong Wook, and Kim Kye Hyun are watching TWICE's comeback stage on TV.

"If he (Wang Li) was reincarnated as one of them (TWICE), I would not be unable to forgive him..."

Gong Yoo's eyes were fixed on the TV, and he twisted his body coquettishly following the TV.

It was Gong Yoo's impromptu performance that made TWICE a hot topic at the time.

By the way, the ratings convention of "Goblin" is to dance to Twice's "TT".

It has not been decided who will jump yet, but Jin Qixuan will not jump anyway.

So.

Jin Qixuan, who had embarrassed himself by dancing a girl group dance, could not accept the humiliating punishment of failing in this test of loyalty.

but.

Because the veteran variety show hosts are very sensitive in this regard, Lee Kwang-soo and others don't have to think about it, as they can expose them one by one.

Zhao In-sung is rich, but the problem is that the two are now in a competitive relationship, so it is not convenient to call to borrow money.

Song Joong-ki also has money, but he hasn't repaid the favor of recommending himself to "Goblin".

No matter whether it is a real loan or a fake one, once the mouth is opened, it is a favor.

It’s hard to repay a debt of favor…

Just as Jin Qixuan was about to call Do Kyungsoo, he suddenly thought of what Liu Renna had just said:
"I'm not as rich as Ji-eun..."

Yes! How could she forget it!

Jin Qixuan slapped his thigh and found Li Zhien's phone number with excitement.

But when it was broadcast, Jin Qixuan hesitated.

She should be rehearsing right now, right? Maybe she can't hear it...

Never mind, let’s try it first!

Thinking of this, Jin Qixuan pressed the dial button.

Please! Please answer it!

As the ringing time got longer and longer, Jin Qixuan became more and more anxious.

However, just when Jin Qixuan was about to give up, the phone was connected.

"Hello? Are you guys here yet? I'll ask Han Te Oppa to pick you up!"

Hearing Li Zhien's heavenly voice, Jin Qixuan seemed to be redeemed for a moment...

"We're not there yet. It'll be a while."

"Oh, okay, I'll call you when I get there, but I have something to ask of you."

"I have something to ask of you, too."

Then, the two of them said at the same time in tacit understanding:

"You say it first." X2
"Then let me talk first."

Jin Qixuan cleared his throat and said somewhat embarrassedly:

"I want to borrow some money from you."

"Borrow money? What difficulties are you in?"

Li Zhien paused, then asked hurriedly.

"Well, it's not a big problem. I just don't have enough money to make ends meet. I want to borrow some from you."

"Ah...how much? When do you use it?"

Jin Qixuan looked up at the PD and saw him holding up two fingers to him. Then, he said into the phone:

"Two hundred million, before 12 o'clock."

"Is 200 million enough? Send me your card number and I'll transfer it to you right away."

Perhaps because he had experienced two failures, Jin Qixuan was deeply moved by the feeling of borrowing money this time.

As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. Even though Kim Ki-hyeon's difficulties were fake, it did not prevent him from being very grateful to Lee Ji-eun at this moment, especially after failing twice in a row.

"That's enough, thank you..."

"I didn't hear you clearly. It's too noisy here. Speak louder."

"I said, thank you!"

"It's too quiet to hear!"

Seeing this, Jin Qixuan took a deep breath and shouted loudly:
"I said! Thank you, ahem…thank you…"

"Hahaha……"

Yes, Lee Ji-eun’s long-lost old lady smile appeared again.

Jin Qixuan could also tell that she was teasing him, but he was not angry at all. Instead, he felt a little happy...

Jin Qixuan, your idea is very dangerous! Wake up quickly!
"Don't borrow money from others. If you have financial difficulties in the future, come to me. But this is all I can help you with."

Li Zhien said this touching sentence lightly, but Jin Qixuan felt very sad when he heard it...

What do you mean this is all I can help you with?!

What's the difference between this and me being so poor that I only have money left!!!

Jin Qixuan struggled to squeeze out the word "thank you" from between his teeth, and then asked, "What did you just ask me to do?"

"You'll be here soon?"

Jin Qixuan responded: "Yeah."

"When we meet, tell me to send your card number first."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Jin Qixuan breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, the surrounding staff also applauded:
"Congratulations to Jin Qixuanxi for successfully passing the loyalty challenge!"

"Thanks……"

Jin Qixuan clasped his hands together and bowed to the group of people.

"So, is the recording over now?"

"Yes."

Since there was no advance preparation, Jin Qixuan created a group for all the staff on site and sent out a few lucky red envelopes in the group as a token of his gratitude.

Then, Kim Ki-hyun and Han Hyo-joo thanked the staff around them for their hard work and left.

Jin Qixuan came to the underground parking lot and got into Liu Inna's car.

As soon as he got in the car, the latter asked with a smile:

"Success or failure?"

"I succeeded. I borrowed it from rich lady Zhien."

"Oh yes!"

Having said that, Jin Qixuan quickly sent a message to Li Zhien to explain what had just happened.
