Ma Lin said, "I don't have that much."
"Didn't you say you were rich? How come you're out of money now?"
Ma Lin said, "Things have been tight lately."
"Tight my ass. You chip in two hundred thousand star dollars, and someone else throws in fifty thousand, and we'll be on par with N City's Extraordinary University. If we can level with N City in education, we'd be making a significant contribution to our hometown. Don't you want to do something grand, clear your conscience?"
After being lectured by his parents for an hour, he could only agree to fork over two hundred thousand star dollars to help build the Extraordinary University back home.
After hanging up the phone, his face turned green.

By the time he got back to Mid Sky City, it was already eleven o'clock at night.
He explained the situation to Gliss and hoped he could withdraw two hundred thousand star dollars within the next month for investment in education.
