Legendary Captain

"What the heck?" Xu Xian was startled. He glanced at the waiters who were dozing off again, grabbed Lian Shanxue's arm and pulled her to a seat outside. This way, no one else could hear what Xu Xian and Lian Shanxue were saying.

"Are you trying to kill me?! If the people in the shop hear this, how am I supposed to keep doing this?" Xu Xian shouted at Lian Shanxue, pretending to be fierce.

Lian Shanxue frowned: "You can't keep going? What about my training?"

"If it really doesn't work out, why don't you just ask Feibiao to replace you?" Xu Xian said. If this could help him escape his misery, it would be an unexpected bonus.

"You want me to change people?" For some reason, Lian Shanxue's face suddenly turned cold, and even Xu Xian, who was sitting opposite her, could feel the biting cold of winter.

Xu Xian, lacking sufficient sensitivity to Lian Shanxue who was already on the verge of exploding, carelessly echoed her words: "Yeah! Isn't it better to stay out of each other's way? Shouldn't we switch?"

Bang!

No sooner had Xu Xian finished speaking than Lian Shanxue slammed her hand on the table, startling Xu Xian so much that he quickly glanced into the shop. Fortunately, the distance was sufficient, and there was a door separating them, so even though the commotion outside was loud, none of the waiters inside heard it.

Xu Xian had just breathed a sigh of relief and turned around when he met Lian Shanxue's almost murderous gaze.

"Unrelated? You really want to sever all ties with me?" Lian Shanxue's voice came from the depths of hell, as if it wanted to devour Xu Xian completely.

"Disassociate ourselves? It's not that serious..." Xu Xian hesitated. The words "disassociate ourselves" sounded a bit too cold. Although Xu Xian didn't really want to waste time cooperating with the simulator, to go to the point of "disassociating ourselves" with Lian Shanxue for this was really going too far.

"The main reason is that I'm short on money lately, so I need this job," Xu Xian explained. "I'm caught in a dilemma, so I can only focus on the most important thing. I'm really sorry if this affects the effectiveness of the simulator training, but I really have no other choice!"

"Short of money? You don't need to do this kind of all-night part-time job!" When Lian Shanxue heard that Xu Xian wasn't what she thought, she was immediately delighted, and her tone became more relaxed.

Xu Xian sighed, "In the entire Dianyun City, can you find a part-time job that pays 300 yuan for a night shift? And it's paid weekly!"

The wages in Dianyun City are really not good. It is very rare for a cashier to earn 300 yuan a day, so Xu Xian cherishes this part-time job very much.

Lian Shanxue was silent for a moment, then asked, "How much do you need? It shouldn't be much, right?"

To be honest, if the amount of money needed was too much, this amount of part-time work money would definitely be a drop in the bucket. The fact that Xu Xian is still able to work part-time here obediently shows that the amount of money he is short is not too much.

"It's just some rent money! It's not a lot, but the timing is just bad, and I'm a bit short of money," Xu Xian said.

Although Xu Xian and his son are currently destitute, they can still afford to rent a cheap place. However, they had used all the money they had saved up to pay off debts, and they hadn't expected the house to sell so quickly, which put them in an awkward situation.

"Rental money?" Lian Shanxue frowned. "Is 30,000 enough?"

"What do you mean?" Xu Xian looked at Lian Shanxue suspiciously. "You're not going to lend me money at exorbitant interest rates, are you?"

Lian Shanxue broke out in a cold sweat: "You're lending money at exorbitant interest rates? Do you think you can even get the money back? If you can't, then I'm the one who loses out! And you're lending at exorbitant interest rates! Even banks assess a customer's repayment ability before lending, but loan sharks don't?"

"So what do you mean?" Xu Xian asked.

Lian Shanxue said earnestly, "I have some spare money on hand right now, so I'll lend it to you for an emergency. You can pay me back when you have more money, interest-free. You just need to cooperate well with my simulator training! Is that acceptable?"

"Why are you expecting me to cooperate? There are so many other passenger seats for you to choose from, you don't need to do this!"

Although Lian Shanxue's suggestion was tempting, Xu Xian still felt something was amiss. It wasn't like Lian Shanxue couldn't find someone to train with, so why was she so fixated on him? She even paid out of her own pocket to help him out of his predicament, hoping he would wholeheartedly cooperate with her training.

That doesn't make sense!

What makes me irreplaceable? It seems not!

When Xu Xian was about to ask the reason, Lian Shanxue hesitated and changed the subject, saying, "Why ask so many questions? Do you want to?"

Xu Xian was still uneasy: "I just feel like something doesn't make sense, and I'm feeling uneasy."

He firmly believed that there was no such thing as a free lunch, so some doubts were normal. Besides, he felt that his relationship with Lian Shanxue wasn't close enough for them to lend each other money.

"What's the panic! I'm not a gangster, I'm not going to eat you up!" Lian Shanxue was furious when she saw Xu Xian's hesitant look. She seemed like a treacherous person? And yet she suspected her!

"Anyone would panic if someone lent me 30,000 for free, without any interest," Xu Xianqian laughed.

Lian Shanxue thought about it and agreed; if it were her, she would also have doubts.

Suddenly, Lian Shanxue had a bright idea. With a mischievous grin, she leaned closer to Xu Xian and said, "Don't you feel there's something wrong with me lending you money for no reason? Why don't you just offer an valuable item as collateral?"

"A pawn?" Xu Xian said, "If I had this valuable item worth 30,000, I would have already sold it for cash. Why would I need to work the night shift now?"

Xu Xian took this part-time job out of necessity. After all, staying up all night is extremely harmful to one's health, and he would never have done it if he hadn't had no other choice. After all, health is the foundation of everything!

"What do you mean, 'no'?" Lian Shanxue smiled slyly. "The gold lock around your neck is worth more than 30,000!"

Xu Xian immediately clutched his chest and said righteously, "Don't even think about it, I won't sell it."

Xu Xian had always found it strange that Lian Shanxue would be so kind as to lend him 30,000 yuan interest-free, only to find out that she was after his gold lock.

Lian Shanxue had shown unusual interest in Jin Suo before, and now she's taking advantage of the situation?

Lian Shanxue frowned: "I know you're not selling it, but I'll lend it to you for three days, then I'll return it. I don't want your gold lock!"
