Inside a private room in the hotel.
"Xiao Qin, why do you need to borrow money?" The manager looked at Li Qin with a sly smile.
"I need it urgently. I'll return it as soon as I get my paycheck." Li Qin gritted her teeth. If she weren't backed into a corner, she wouldn't want to deal with him at all.
"No need to talk about paying me back, that's too formal. Come, Xiao Qin, drink this glass of wine. After you finish it, I'll give you the money." The manager handed her the wine glass on the table.
Li Qin was desperate for money and didn't think much of it. She grabbed the wine and gulped it down in one go.
"Can you give me the money now?" Li Qin couldn't stand being around this manager for even another minute.
"Don't rush. Can you tell me why you need to borrow money? Are you facing some trouble? If you are, you can tell me. I can shelter you from the storm…" The manager started rambling incessantly, clearly stalling to let the drug take effect.
