Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 52 I Can't Too

Shen An'an's logic is rather strange.

For example, she can't distinguish between friendship and love.

Doing things this way makes it easy to attract jerks.

Upon hearing Lin Lang's words, Shen An'an's eyes widened immediately. "So, you really have a girlfriend?"

"no!"

"But what you just said, didn't it imply that you touched her?"

"No, it's mainly because my ex-girlfriend is about the same size as her, so I had a general idea. You're a bit prettier than her, but you're a few centimeters shorter, so I don't have a reference point."

"Huh? I'm prettier than her?"

"Absolutely. I didn't even bother to refute the first statement. The difference in this aspect is quite obvious."

Lin Lang wasn't lying; in some ways, Shen An'an was indeed prettier than Mi Xiaofan.

Shen An'an suddenly laughed, and the two dimples that appeared on her face made her look even cuter.

"Sister Bing lied to me! I'll have her deliver a dish to me later, otherwise I'll have to lower the price!"

"Okay, okay, wait a little longer, I'll be done soon. Also, after you finish eating, you have to take me to the company, I haven't ridden my electric scooter yet."

"no problem!"

Shen An'an waited on the side.

She hasn't done much these days, since the stock is suspended from trading and there's not much to make money from.

Lin Lang didn't assign any other tasks.

After a while, she couldn't help but ask, "Lin Lang, how did you and your ex-girlfriend break up?"

"Huh? She's a local from Shanghai. Her family looks down on me because I don't have a Shanghai hukou (household registration) and I don't own a house in Shanghai."

"And then? You came back?"

"Yes, I've lived in this county town since I was little. If I can't find love, I can pursue my ideals. I want to make a name for myself in this county town and provide more job opportunities for my fellow villagers..."

Lin Lang's reason was readily available; the reason Yan Li had fabricated back then could be said to always be invincible.

Even if we fail, no one will say anything, at least the initial intention was good.

This is why many people are willing to stand on the moral high ground to criticize others, not only satisfying their own desire to vent, but also leaving others with no way to refute them.

"Actually, it's pretty good in the county town. My dad told me not to think about going outside. I can live very comfortably in the county town, but it's different outside. Also... you basically won't suffer any grievances at home, but you can't make true friends outside."

"Nobody wants to be your friend?"

"Yes, there are too many, but I don't want to be friends with them anymore, they all lied to me!"

"How did you cheat?"

"They basically ask me for money after we've known each other for a while. As a friend, of course I'm willing to lend it to them. But after I lend them money once, they ask for it a second time without paying it back. People like that can't be my friends!"

"Is there anyone who doesn't ask you for money?"

"No, that's why I went home after graduation. At least I have some friends back home who don't ask me for money, and we can chat and have meals together."

Lin Lang: "..."

When everyone is asking Shen An'an for money, then there must be something wrong with Shen An'an.

Either everyone knows that there are no barriers or pressure to borrow money from her, or she has been scammed.

This also aligns with Shen An'an's personality, considering she was able to lend Bing Ning three million.

Even if Shen An'an's family is very wealthy, three million is not a small amount.

Most importantly, after lending it out, she didn't want it anymore.

"How much money have you lent out in total?"

"Twenty thousand per person, a total of over a million."

"Oh, that's good. I thought you were borrowing hundreds of thousands or millions from each person."

“I’m not stupid. Only relatives would lend that much money, okay? How could I lend so much to someone I’ve only known for a short time? In the end, they couldn’t even withstand the test of 20,000 yuan.”

At this point, Shen An'an appeared somewhat aggrieved.

This kind of thing is actually a form of rejection for her. She's been so kind to people, and yet they cheated her out of 20,000 yuan.

Thinking of this, Shen An'an quickly continued, "But you're different. I can lend you all the money I have, but you have to find a way to pay it back, any way you want."

"Looks like I'm different from others; you don't even give others a chance to pay back their money."

"Of course it's different. You've helped me earn so much money. As my best friend, even if you borrow all the money you've earned and don't pay it back, I can still lend you... one... two... three million next time!"

Shen An'an frequently adjusted the amount of money she borrowed.

"Just like Sister Bing?"

"Yes."

"Let me think about it. I'll find a chance to scam you out of three million and then run away."

"No! You can't lie to me!"

Shen An'an's expression suddenly turned serious.

Then she added, "If you can't pay it back, you'll have to go to Sister Bing's place every day to get me food! You'll drive me out every day, and you'll also be in charge of cleaning my house until you pay it back. But don't worry, I'll pay for your gas and I'll provide you with food."

"But you're not going to hold me accountable, so why should I pay you back?"

Shen An'an: "...You can pay me back. I can lend you more after you pay me back."

Lin Lang did the math: "Look, you should have two million dollars in your account now, right? If I borrow it all, that's over ten million. Plus, you promised to lend me another three million, so it's over twenty million. Even if I drive you around, bring you food, and clean your house every day, how long would it take me to pay back those twenty million?"

“I’ll give you a higher estimate, like Sister Bing’s: 1,000 for driving, 1,000 for food delivery, and 1,000 for cleaning.”

"Then I'll have to pay it back for more than ten years."

"Well... washing clothes counts, and helping me carry things counts too..."

"That's still not enough. It would take at least ten years. It's more cost-effective to just run away."

"Ahhh... No, no, no! I consider you a friend, you can't lie to me like this! If even you lie to me, I'll never trust anyone again."

Shen An'an was clearly very bothered by this matter.

"That has nothing to do with me."

Lin Lang was putting the finishing touches on the work.

Chatting with Shen An'an is quite interesting. Although her logic is somewhat flawed, it is indeed very useful.

Those who are willing to make friends will not ask to borrow money a second time before the first loan has been repaid.

We're all young people, so we shouldn't encounter any major setbacks.

If someone in the family is seriously ill or has encountered some kind of emergency requiring a loan, Shen An'an would definitely understand.

It's highly likely that he borrowed the money, spent it himself, and then treated her like an ATM.

While this method of determining whether someone is suitable to be a friend is very costly in terms of money, it is very costly in terms of time.

At this moment, Shen An'an seemed a little anxious, "Lin Lang, it's very important! You are my best friend so far."

This was the first time in all her years that she had met a guy like Lin Lang, who not only didn't cheat her out of money, but also helped her make money.

In her logic, anyone who doesn't cheat her out of money is already a good friend. As for those who help her make money, they are clearly not part of her logic at all. This directly breaks through the underlying logical algorithm and is a case of dimensional reduction attack.

"But you're not my best friend."

"Huh? You have a better friend than me? Who is it? Is it the girl you gave a ride with on your bike today?"

"almost……"

"Is she as good to you as I am? I can lend you a lot of money!"

"The bond between friends cannot be fully measured by money. What she gave me, you cannot give."

What did she give you?

"Uh... I can't say this... I'm done with my work, let's go and have some food."

Lin Lang stood up immediately.

Shen An'an immediately grabbed his arm and whispered, "Did she let you touch her? I..."
