Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Michael sat in a daze, looking at his boss, Mr. Gates.

Mr. Gates glared at his assistant angrily as his life flashed before his eyes, from being a pauper to a billionaire, all because of Thomson’s help.

With the disaster the assistant had made, cold sweat started to form on his forehead. He was afraid that he had angered Thomson because of this. The thought of being left on his own with nothing was scary.

He immediately shouted at his assistant to call Thomson back.

Meanwhile, Thomson was confused at being hung up on again.

He had a feeling that he was hung up on the first time because Gates’s employee did not understand what was going on.

However, not getting through the call this time made him extremely angry.

The audience burst into laughter again when they saw this.

“Brother, what the hell are you doing? Do you believe a miracle will happen?”

“Don’t be so stubborn. Be more pragmatic and find a reliable person. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. If you keep doing this, I’m afraid you won’t get anything in the end.”

“Hey, brother, my stomach hurts from all the laughing. What kind of behavior is this?”

However, Alice was not like the others. She quietly walked to Thomson’s side and patted his shoulder.

“It’s okay, darling. So what if you can’t borrow it? It’s not important. What’s important is that I love you and that we’re together. Don’t be sad.”

Thomson’s heart was not only sad, but he also blamed himself for what Alice was going through. He initially wanted to turn the situation around himself, but now it seemed like it was becoming more and more awkward. He was very embarrassed.

“Beep, beep, beep.” Just then, Thomson’s phone rang.

He picked up the phone, and a voice came from the other end, “Excuse me, is this Mr. Thomson…”

The audience was very surprised. Why would Little Gates, who had hung up twice in a row, take the initiative to call? It was illogical.

So, they started to discuss again, eager to find out what the reason was.

Under everyone’s gaze, Thompson replied, “It’s me.”

“I’m sorry about that, Mr. Thompson. I’m really sorry for pissing you off. I had something going on just now. Please forgive me if I was negligent.”

“Don’t say that, it’s useless. I want to borrow some money now. Transfer it to me immediately.”

Thomson then hung up the phone angrily.

The audience was even more confused.

They did not understand why he was speaking in that tone. It was like a superior giving orders to a subordinate.

After a while, the audience burst into laughter again.

“Hahaha, big brother, do you think of yourself as the boss? If not for your cheap clothes, we would’ve believed it. Why are you lying to yourself?”

“I can conclude that this brother either lies to himself to get high, or he’s delusional. Hahaha!”

“Brothers, stop laughing. If you think about it, he’s actually quite pitiful. His life must be difficult. He has no choice but to use this method to have some hope of living.”

Little Gates sat in his Rolls-Royce that was worth tens of millions. He was so anxious that he could not help pulling his hair as he thought of countermeasures.

He also did not understand why the richest man in the world would want to borrow money from him.

His assistant, Michael, was even more confused. He did not understand what kind of person would call his boss and make him so afraid. One thing he was sure of was that this person was much more influential than his boss.

However, his boss was already one of the top businessmen in the world. Who else would elicit this behavior in him?

Little Gates had no time to think too much. No matter what, he had to satisfy Thomson’s request. Hence, he told his assistant to send money to this person immediately.

Michael did not dare to be negligent. “How much do you want to send, chairman?”

Little Gates knew that Thomson wanted to borrow some money, but Little Gates understood it as he wanted hundreds of millions.

So, he replied loudly, “100 million, quick! Do it immediately!”

“Chairman, transferring 100 million is not a small amount. It has to go through a strict verification process. It’s impossible to transfer it immediately. It will take some time.”

“Damn it, what is this all about?”

Little Gates’s mind spun rapidly again, thinking of a way to solve this problem.

Suddenly, he remembered that he had once invested in a company that specialized in a payment system. Although this company’s transfer amount was capped at one million a day, he could exceed it because he was the largest shareholder in this company. All he needed was to get the technicians to do it.

With that, Little Gates immediately told Michael to transfer the money to Thomson in this way.

Seeing the Chairman so flustered, he naturally did not dare to neglect and immediately followed the order.

In the meantime, in the middle of the competition venue, Thomson was waiting for Little Gates to transfer the money. He was very calm and confident.

However, the audience did not see it that way. In their eyes, Thomson looked like he had accepted his fate of not being able to borrow money.

Alice was consoling Thomson the entire time. She felt that Thomson had been embarrassed so many times today that he probably wanted some time to himself.

Standing by the side, the host had nothing to say too. Time was ticking, and the ranking situation had stabilized.

The first place had borrowed 3 million, and the second place had borrowed 2 million. If nothing unexpected happened, this ranking would remain the same.

The host was also sympathetic to Thomson, seeing how much the latter had gone through. In fact, he had never seen such things before.

Alice said to Thomson, “It’s okay, darling. We’ll treat it as a game. I love you, you love me, and that’s enough.”

“No, darling. I’ll win this competition for you, and we’ll get the highest prize of 10 million dollars.”

Alice knew that Thomson was consoling her, but she did not want to make Thomson sad, so she said, “Yes, I believe you.”

Although Thomson came to participate in this show at the last minute, he had some understanding of the rules in this competition because Alice usually watched it at home.

There was more than one round in this competition. At the end of all rounds, the winner would win the final prize of the show, which was 10 million dollars.

However, Thomson was not doing it for the last 10 million dollars. He did not care about the money at all. In fact, it was to make up for his selfish behavior and make Alice really happy for once. He did not care about anything else as he waited quietly for Little Gates to transfer the money.
