"Huh? This, do I still have to contribute?"
Sun Kang was incredulous. Based on Su Han's usual behavior, he would definitely not let him spend money.
The Su Han of the past was a renowned warm-hearted rich second generation. Knowing Sun Kang's poor family background, he had never let Sun Kang pay for meals or entertainment.
Contributing money was even less of a requirement!
However, the current Su Han was no longer that foolishly warm-hearted guy. Seeing Sun Kang ask him, Su Han lowered his voice and said, "Brother Sun, originally you didn't have to contribute, but now, other classmates are watching. If you don't contribute, it will be difficult for me! It's fine, just contribute a small amount for now, three to five thousand. Later, I'll have a big red envelope for you. What are you worried about?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Kang's heart was put at ease.
He wasn't actually broke. As far as Su Han knew, Sun Kang had already saved nearly ten thousand in private savings. In 2006, this was a considerable sum of money, enough to open a small shop.
And this was Sun Kang's startup capital! He was going to start a business at university.
Capital was extremely crucial for him.
But at this moment, since Su Han had said so, Sun Kang didn't say anything more and walked straight ahead to queue at the gift registration table.
When it was Sun Kang's turn, Luo Xiaosi asked, "May I have the guest's name and the amount contributed?"
"Five thousand!"
Sun Kang held up five fingers, his expression righteous, and his voice boomed like a bell, "Su Han is my brother. For my brother's engagement, I should do my best and give a big red envelope! Su Han has helped me a lot before, and I, Sun Kang, though a bit poor, am not an ungrateful person!"
His righteous speech even earned a thumbs-up from Luo Xiaosi.
The surrounding guests all nodded, saying what a loyal and righteous young man.
However, when it came to payment, Sun Kang's expression was filled with reluctance. He looked at Su Han several times, and only after Su Han's repeated nods did he enter his password and swipe his card to pay.
[Ding! Slightly altered the protagonist's fate, plundered 5 points of Sun Kang's luck value!]
[Friendly reminder, the host's luck value is negative, and a catastrophic disaster will occur within a month. Please earn luck value as soon as possible and continue to work hard!]
Hearing the system's prompt, Su Han was extremely excited.
Although it was only a small 5 points, for him, it was the key to changing his destiny! Now, looking at the system panel, Su Han found that his luck value had increased from -10 points to -5 points.
He chuckled.
Su Han seized the opportunity and immediately chased after him into the hall!
"Oh, Brother Sun, wait a moment!"
This loud shout attracted the attention of some classmates towards Sun Kang.
Sun Kang immediately stood tall and straight, looking quite distinguished, truly impressing some inexperienced young people and making them think he was someone of importance.
"How about it, Brother Su! Was I generous enough this time? I contributed five thousand at once! I've taken out all my savings. You, kid, can't forget my kindness in the future!" Sun Kang said, while also searching for Chen Siyao's figure.
Su Han nodded and immediately said, "How could I not! We are brothers, who is who? By the way, I remember you still have five thousand, right? Lend it to me quickly. The owner of the small smoke and liquor shop at the entrance is here, and I need to pay him!"
"Hiss…"
Sun Kang hesitated, his brows furrowed into the shape of the character '川'!
If it weren't for the fact that he had just called Su Han his brother and that so many people were watching, he would have really said he had no money and refused to lend it.
However, he had accidentally let slip that Su Han knew about his little stash. If he didn't lend it now, his "righteous" persona would immediately collapse!
"Damn it, Su Han! If you don't give me a red envelope of ten thousand after the banquet, I'll spread it around that you're a man of your word, a scoundrel! This ten thousand is my business money! Damn it... I hope this kid keeps his promise!" Sun Kang muttered resentfully, his heart filled with curses.
But outwardly, he looked extremely troubled as he took out the bank card he had just used.
"Su Han, our relationship is close, so I won't ask you for an IOU, but you must remember to return it to me later. This is my business money!"
Su Han nodded and snatched the bank card.
To be honest, before this, he had spent no less than five thousand on Sun Kang just for meals and karaoke. Now, this money was considered repayment.
As for returning the money?
Su Han had no intention of returning it. He chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I'll give you a big red envelope when it's over. You'll see then, whether your brother is generous enough, it's all in this red envelope!"
"Exactly! When has Young Master Su ever treated everyone poorly? Hahaha."
"Yeah, Young Master Su is very generous. Sun Kang, are you afraid Young Master Su won't return your little bit of money? Tsk, what a joke!"
Several classmates around immediately teased him.
Indeed, Su Han was usually a warm-hearted person and often treated others, so he had made many fair-weather friends. At this moment, a few people from the class who were happy-go-lucky came to show their support.
Su Han cupped his fists and said solemnly, "Gentlemen, eat well, drink well! Your presence is enough, contributing money is optional."
Having said that, Su Han gave Sun Kang an OK gesture, indicating that he would be right back!
Sun Kang couldn't say anything more at this point, as everyone was watching. If he refused again, he would truly be out of touch.
Besides, Su Han had said that he would give him a super big red envelope at the end of the banquet. Based on Su Han's usual behavior, this red envelope would definitely be more than the ten thousand yuan he had contributed!
"Twenty thousand? Or thirty thousand, maybe fifty thousand! This kid is so rich, damn it, if you don't give me fifty thousand, you're trash, a scoundrel!" Sun Kang muttered and quickly walked towards the hall.
At this moment, at the entrance, Su Han was almost bursting with joy. After intercepting another five thousand, the system's prompt followed.
[Ding, slightly influenced the protagonist's fate, plundered 10 points of Sun Kang's luck value!]
"10 points!"
For the same five thousand yuan, this time he gained 10 points of luck value.
Su Han thought about it and understood. This five thousand was Sun Kang's last five thousand. Without this money, it would be difficult for him to start his business again!
"He's out of money, and there are still three thousand points of luck value. This Sun Kang guy is truly as strong as an ox!"
In contrast, Su Han looked at the system panel. Although his luck value had turned positive, the ominous warning of a catastrophic disaster could finally quiet down.
But still, it was only 5 points!
[Ding, detected that the host's luck value is below 50 points, and there will be a bloody disaster within a week! Please raise your luck value as soon as possible! Friendly reminder, within 24 hours is the host's safe period. If the luck value increases to over 50 during this period, the bloody disaster can be avoided!]
