Chapter 77 Guan Gu falls

3602 living room.

Xiang Yu was sitting on the sofa reading the magazine "Pretending to be a Man" ordered by Teacher Zeng, while Zi Qiao was playing cards on the coffee table.

At this time, Meijia opened the door and broke the silence of 3602.

"Zi Qiao, why are the phone bills so expensive this month? 168 voice calls? Did you make voice calls?" Meijia asked Zi Qiao holding a phone bill.

"You have to play more to win the prize." Zi Qiao said without looking back while still playing cards.

"I think you are crazy about winning the lottery? Two yuan a piece is very expensive." Meijia threw the phone bill to Zi Qiao and said unhappy.

"Anyway, it's Guan Gu's turn to pay the phone bill this month. I won 20 yuan, and I will give him some of it later." Zi Qiao said calmly without denying it at all.

At this time, Guangu opened the door and came back.

Ziqiao put the phone bill on the table and pushed it towards Guangu, saying, "Guangu, you came just in time, you've got the bill."

"Try the sushi I made?" Meijia saw Guan Gu coming back and quickly came over with a plate of sushi and said to Guan Gu.

Xiang Yu stood up unceremoniously, took away two pieces of sushi, returned to the sofa and sat down. Ziqiao also quickly grabbed two pieces of sushi, fearing that Meijia wouldn't give it to him later.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Meijia asked with concern when she saw Guangu sitting upright on the sofa and huffing.

"I want to tell you something~I'm bankrupt." Guangu clenched his fists in depression and said.

"Guan Gu, why? Why did you suddenly go bankrupt?" Xiang Yu took the sushi away from his mouth and asked Guan Gu with concern.

"What?" Meijia also shouted in surprise.

"Isn't it just a phone bill? It's not that big of a deal, right?" Zi Qiao asked uncertainly as his mouth was stuffed full of two pieces of sushi.

"All my savings were used to invest in the publication of the Three-Legged Cat. The publishing house originally wanted to sign a contract with me, but their old president passed away last week. The new president didn't like my comics, so they all were withdrawn. I'm back." Guan Gu explained with red eyes.

"Is that the single book you were talking about last time?" Xiang Yu remembered that he was interrupted by Teacher Zeng in the middle of his last sentence, and everyone stopped talking.

"How do you say you died when you died?" Zi Qiao said while trying hard to swallow the sushi in his mouth.

"Yes, it's that single volume. It was too sudden. It was said that he choked to death on sushi." Guangu put his hands on his legs and held his head.

Zi Qiao still struggled to swallow the sushi.

Meijia looked at the sushi on the plate and said, "Then I'll cook the sushi into seaweed rice."

"No need, forget it if you choke to death, I will never draw comics again." Guangu raised his head and collapsed.

At this time, Sekiya's phone rang.
  "Hey! Lan Lan? I was about to call you, but they sent my comics back. Okay! Goodbye!"

Guangu hung up the phone.

"Frustrated in the workplace and proud in love, how are Lan Lan going to comfort you tonight? Uniform temptation or galloping horses?" Zi Qiao raised his eyebrows, patted Guan Gu on the shoulder, and said with a smirk.

And Guan Gu said in a tone that he was about to cry: "She broke up with me, saying that I was bored recently and never took the initiative to contact her. She also said that I am a good person, but we are not suitable."

Xiang Yu, who was sitting across from the sofa, saw Meijia curling up the corners of her mouth with a look of displeasure when she heard Guangu say that she was about to call Lanlan. Immediately after hearing about the breakup, the corners of his mouth actually started to rise.

"Guangu, have you fully invested in the single book? It's okay to break up, maybe the next one will be better." Xiang Yu asked carefully, fearing that Guangu couldn't think about it and was about to choke himself to death on sushi.

"Haha! I'm fine." Guan Gu's eyes reflected a little starlight.

Zi Qiao asked while turning back to get the sushi: "Why do you say break up?"

Meijia slapped Qiao's hand that was about to take the sushi and said, "Maybe he ate too much sushi."

Guangu collapsed and shouted: "Let the storm come more violently!" At this time, a drought thunder suddenly hit outside the apartment.

Everyone except Guangu glanced at the balcony in surprise.

Zi Qiao slowly shrank back to the sofa and whispered to Guan Gu: "Guan Gu, stop talking."

"It's okay, Guangu, please tell me in detail." Xiang Yu thought it would be better to let Guangu speak out, and it would be even more uncomfortable to hold it in his heart.

"I don't know what to say?" Guangu said dejectedly.

"Talking about single books, you invested in printing, but the new president is not optimistic about it. Didn't the old president directly let you invest in printing without signing a contract? Even if you invested in printing, where are your books? Japan or somewhere else?" Xiang Yu asked with concern. "It's like this. The old president said he is optimistic about my books and will distribute them for me after they are printed. I only need to share the fees with the channels in China. But the new president is not optimistic, and those books can only be piled up. There is no publisher in the warehouse of the printing factory here. Those books cannot be sold, and if they cannot be sold, they are garbage!" Guangu clenched his fists and said angrily.

After Xiang Yu heard this, he didn't have any good ideas for a while. The current number of fans of Guangu's comics is not very large, and there is no distributor channel. It is basically a fantasy to want to publish it on his own.

Guangu stood up and prepared to return to the room. Seeing everyone's concerned expressions, he said, "Okay, I'm going back to rest. Don't worry, I'm really fine."

After Sekiya finished speaking, he went back to his bedroom.

"Guan Gu is too easily excited. Meijia, keep an eye on Guan Gu. I'll think of a solution." Xiang Yu said with some distress.

Xiang Yu and Zi Qiao began to think of a solution.

Early the next morning, suite 3602.

Zi Qiao took out yesterday's leftover sushi from the refrigerator and sat on the table to eat.

Meijia stretched out her hand toward Zi Qiao and said, "Take out the money."

"What money?" Zi Qiao stopped putting the sushi in his mouth and asked doubtfully.

Meijia explained: "The rent deposit Guangu gave you! You don't need so much at all."

"I charged the normal rent deposit, and it was not overcharged at all. Xiang Yu can testify." For the first time, Zi Qiao felt so confident in what he said.

"Then you give the deposit to Guan Gu first. After all, Guan Gu is under the same roof as us. Now he has encountered difficulties. We are in the world. The most important thing is four words." Meijia still stretched out her hand and said to Zi Qiao.

"It's safe to leave the bag." Zi Qiao interrupted immediately before Meijia finished speaking.

"Fart, it's a shameless thing." Meijia shouted with her eyes wide open.

"Are you going to give it? If you don't give it, if I say a word to you again, my surname will no longer be Chen." Meijia threatened angrily.

"Okay~" Zi Qiao had no choice but to compromise, and then took out the wallet in his pocket.

"Where did you get so much money?" Meijia grabbed the wallet and looked at the money in the wallet, surprised.

"Listen to me, you think I'm not willing to help him. I wanted to help him pay the phone bill last night, but he refused to do anything and even threatened to commit seppuku.

I couldn't defeat him, so I tricked him into playing cards and expected to lose the phone bill to him, hum! This guy is so memorized. I can win any of the thirty-two showhands. No, he is even more depressed now. Xiang Yu can testify to this. "Zi Qiao explained.

After Ziqiao finished speaking, he pointed at Xiang Yu who came out of Guangu's room.

Xiang Yu nodded and testified for Zi Qiao: "Yes! This time Zi Qiao told the truth. Although Zi Qiao deliberately let the situation slip, Guangu still lost miserably. It wasn't very miserable, it was unprecedentedly miserable."

Meijia only believed Zi Qiao after receiving Xiang Yu's confirmation, and said helplessly: "You won't let him have it?"

"The conscience of heaven and earth, I really gave up to him. He is now possessed by the declining god. It is as miserable as Xiang Yu said it has never been before." Zi Qiao shook his head and said.

At this time, Guangu came over from the room with a glass of cold water and drank the water in front of everyone, causing his teeth to jam.

Zi Qiao wanted to laugh but didn't dare, so he pointed at Guan Gu, then spread his hands towards Mei Jia, saying that he really tried his best.

Xiang Yu looked at Guan Gu who was picking his teeth and suddenly smiled: "I know!"

Xiang Yu grabbed Guan Gu and said to Guan Gu, "Guan Gu, do you dare to continue gambling on your luck?"

Guan Gu begged for mercy: "Please spare me! All my money was lost to Zi Qiao last night. If I continue gambling, I will really have nothing left but my crotch cloth." After that, he was about to leave.

Xiang Yu shook his head confidently and said, "Lot crotch cloth? No, we don't need your crotch cloth. We are betting on your unluckiness."

Sekiya shouted excitedly: "You have to win all my crotch cloths before you give up? In Japan, defeated samurai have to commit seppuku."

Meijia pulled the hem of Xiang Yu's clothes and whispered: "Forget it, Guangu is about to collapse."

Xiang Yu turned around and waved to Meijia to indicate that it was okay.

"Guan Gu, Japanese militarism is rubbish, but you are a samurai, and if you die, you will die on the battlefield!" Xiang Yu confidently grabbed Guan Gu and dragged Guan Gu downstairs.

 Thank you for your support. I will continue to update 10,000 words in the near future.
