There were two office chairs across the table where Brother Apple and Fan Jia sat. Brother Li took a puff from his cigarette, smiled, and said to Brother Apple, "You young chap, you're too soft-hearted, especially towards girls. Knowing I look down on these small projects, yet you still bring them my way. Is it because the girl is pretty?"
Brother Apple's face went red, and he hurriedly waved his hands: "No way, Brother Li, don't joke with me. This is my little junior sister; I purely admire her. Can you help?," he then turned to Fan Jia, "how much do you want to borrow?"
Fan Jia timidly said: "Ten thousand."
Brother Li said: "That's quite a lot you're borrowing, he probably told you that I'm a person who's willing to help ambitious college students. However, you also need to have something as collateral. Otherwise, what would I do if my money goes to waste?"
