Zuo Dahai paused for a moment, then continued, "At that time, those loan sharks said they were willing to lend me money. In my heart, I regarded them as my saviors, always being respectful and grateful towards them."
"That day, those loan sharks asked me how much I wanted to borrow. I gritted my teeth and said one million, because I thought as long as I could win ten million, I'd be overjoyed. I no longer had that attitude where hundreds of millions meant nothing to me."
"Who knew, when I said I only wanted to borrow one million, they seemed displeased. Afraid they wouldn't be happy and wouldn't lend to me, I quickly said I would borrow two million."
"But when they heard me say two million, they still looked unhappy. So I said three million, but they shook their heads. They shook their heads, and I gritted my teeth and said five million, but surprisingly, they still shook their heads!"
