The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly-Chapter 1205 - 452: Here Comes the Stingy Dad (Part 10)_3

Chapter 1205: Chapter 452: Here Comes the Stingy Dad (Part 10)_3

He Yue’s skepticism was almost tangible.

Seeing her obvious expression, He Zhuo’s heart became even more flustered.

The fantasy about German Orthopedics vanished, and his mind was filled with thoughts of "staying away from this girl to avoid being exposed."

He wasn’t afraid of being exposed, because as long as he insisted he was He Zhuo, He Yue’s suspicions would just make people think she was mentally ill.

However, it’s best to avoid the hassle if possible.

Isn’t she just a pretty blonde girl? Once he succeeds, he can have any kind of beauty he desires.

And when it comes to He Yue, she’s technically his "blood relative," look but don’t touch!

Why make things difficult for himself intentionally?!

He Zhuo made up his mind to not tease He Yue any further.

"...Why are you back home again? It’s the Golden Week, such a good opportunity to earn money! How did you become so irresponsible?"

"Instead of thinking about working, you’re running home every day. Watching TV, playing on the phone, don’t these cost electricity?"

Seeing He Zhuo retreat, He Tiantian still wouldn’t let him go.

Every time she saw him, she couldn’t help but nag and complain, always saying he’s "changed"!

He Zhuo:...

Dammit, not only does he need to stay away from He Yue, but he also needs to go home less often!

Work?

What kind of work?

His online novel was signed, with over ten thousand collections, and the number of collections and comments increased daily!

Even the editor who signed his work treated him very politely, clearly seeing him as a potential "One Book God."

As soon as he meets the word count, his book can be put on the shelves.

Once online, he can earn royalties.

True novelkiss big shots earn millions each year, and after selling various rights, the figures become even more staggering!

It’s just that this time, the web novel He Zhuo "created" wasn’t groundbreaking.

There was no choice, his "popularity value" wasn’t high, and he urgently needed money, so he could only exchange it for this one.

Still, this one isn’t bad. If he remembers correctly, in his previous timeline, this urban fantasy regularly occupied the top ten sales on the site.

The author of this web novel was still in college, and just from royalties, earned money enough to buy a house!

This timeline’s entertainment level is visibly lagging compared to the world where He Zhuo used to live.

He Zhuo is confident that, with this book, he could earn his first pot of gold, securing enough capital for his ventures.

He’s on his way to earning millions, so why grind hard to hand out flyers, serve tables, or tutor bratty kids?!

Working himself to the bone every day, or being so upset with kids that his liver hurts, just for a mere two or three hundred bucks.

However, by "creating" online novels, he doesn’t even have to lift a finger, and can easily pocket a handsome fee!

Faced with such an obvious contrast, He Zhuo would be a fool to choose the former.

What’s hateful is his tightwad of a dad, He Shoutian, who can’t stand seeing him idle and constantly pushes him to work for money!

He Zhuo:...

Fine, I’m not coming back, is that okay?!

If he can’t see me, I don’t believe that with He Shoutian’s stinginess, he would bother calling just to scold me!

With no more fantasies about German Orthopedics and his stingy dad’s verbal bombardment, He Zhuo found no reason to go home.

So, he simply hid at school, doing nothing but project his ideas into his novels and playing video games every day.

Uh, he was keen to continue flirting though.

But alas, he had no money in his pocket.

The little savings the original owner had were squandered by He Zhuo.

And although he believed his web novel was a sure hit, putting it on the shelf requires a process, and takes time.

Two months at the least, maybe three at the most.

Even if the initial stats for a newcomer are great, without enough words, the editor won’t let it go online.

So, He Zhuo could only wait!

But instead of working, he actually spent money playing games.

In just a week, He Zhuo was already financially strained.

Forget about spending on girls, even meals became a problem.

So, He Zhuo started borrowing money from his dorm mates.

Money doesn’t grow on trees, so you either earn more or spend less.

He Zhuo’s "golden chest" could be seen but not opened.

He had no concept of saving. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

The money borrowed from his roommates was quickly spent.

Borrowing money is easy if you repay; it’s no problem to borrow again.

He Zhuo borrowed money but didn’t think of repaying. Instead, he indulged in good food and drinks, bought game skins and equipment...

His roommates weren’t fools. They noticed his behavior, and though they didn’t say anything, they weren’t happy inside.

Considerate of their two or three years of friendship, they didn’t directly ask for the money back.

But when He Zhuo tried to borrow again, they all refused.

He Zhuo:...A bunch of shallow folks!

Aren’t you guys web novel readers too? Don’t you know that classic line—

Don’t bully the young for being poor!

He Tiantian:...Is this guy a lunatic?

Is that how you use "Don’t bully the young for being poor"?!
