Chapter 153: Meeting with Bank Manager

After Ya Li left,

Shi Yong whispered to me: "Brother, this Ya Li said Huaihai Bank, recommended by Niu Ju, Niu Ju together with Kong Shi."

Reliable? Don't mess it up again.

I took a sip of water,

"Shi Yong, your worry is right, but I have a feeling."

That is, there is a conflict between Niu Ju and Kong Shi currently.

I also don't know the reason for this conflict.

Several times I clearly saw, Niu Ju's look at Kong Shi was off.

Kong Shi also doesn't bother with Niu Ju.

This shows they are not on the same line.

We currently have too few resources to utilize,

we can only rely on Niu Ju's line.

Without Niu Ju's support, we can't do anything, only wait to die.

The special bank loan matter,

You should know we are forcibly selling houses,

Once Kong Shi knows, he will surely be angry; a single word from him can freeze our accounts.

We would just be busy for nothing.

Shi Yong glanced at me,

then said: "I'm still worried. What to do if Ya Li teams up with Sun Dajun and Niu Ju?"

I shook my head,

"Impossible, don't think wildly, Shi Yong. See what food the restaurant has today; I'm hungry. It's almost 12."

Shi Yong had to go downstairs.

After Shi Yong went downstairs, my phone rang,

I saw it was Li Ming calling,

Li Ming said on the phone: "Brother, I've already arranged Ru Meng's transfer. She returned from the Provincial Capital. But Ru Meng is upset, she doesn't want to go to school. Mom wants you to find time to go home and persuade Ru Meng."

This girl is just not sensible.

I told Li Ming: "Li Ming, tell Mom I'll come back when I have time. I'll definitely give her a good beating."

She's so unreasonable. Tell her if she doesn't go to school, she'll go to the construction site to carry bricks.

After I said that,

Li Ming laughed,

"'Ru Meng is so young, where would she carry bricks? Okay, don't persuade her; I'll let Xiao Long come when I have time; she likes chatting with Xiao Long, let Xiao Long talk about her. What are you busy with now, how is the company?'"

I said: "Brother, I'm currently busy selling houses. Alas, only selling houses is the way. Once the houses sell, I can repay Southern Group's debt."

"'Selling houses, I heard that all new developments in the city are now banned for sale; isn't this violating the city's ban?' Li Ming said worriedly."

"'I can't worry about that now; I can only take a gamble. Regardless of Kong Shi or Liu Shi, if I don't sell houses I will die.' I said directly on the phone."

"'Alright then, brother, no matter what, I support you. Tell me what help you need; I'll come right away.' Li Ming said."

I said: "Brother, listen, company affairs, you don't get involved. It's very complicated. Just take good care of your sister-in-law and Ru Meng; otherwise don't inquire. Brother, this is for your own good."

"'Brother, let me say...' Li Ming still wanted to say something on the phone."

I hung up the phone.

I will never let Li Ming get involved; this matter is too dangerous.

As for the consequences, I dare not even think about them.

For now, let Li Ming stay away from me and the Group Company; it's better that some people stop caring about him.

That way Ru Meng and Zhou Wei can be safe.

I am now going all-in, giving it my all, not calculating consequences; I personally fear nothing, mainly worried that my closest people will be implicated, such as Li Ming's family, as well as Ru Meng, Zhou Wei, etc.

Those are my relatives.

Time quickly came to evening,

Shi Yong drove me to the Golden Light Hotel.

This Golden Light Hotel is an asset under Niu Ju's name.

Normally it's mainly used for receptions.

Upon entering the hotel, I felt its decoration is more beautiful than Zaocheng Grand Hotel; it seems Niu Ju's unit is extremely wealthy.

Ya Li and Sun Dajun had already arrived earlier.

The four of us then went up together to the second floor's Golden Mountain Hall.

All private rooms in this hotel start with 'gold'; perhaps Niu Ju likes gold.

Upon entering the second floor private hall,

Niu Ju was sitting at a large round table talking with a bald man. This bald man is not tall, his body is obese.

He is about forty years old.

When Niu Ju raised his head and saw us come in, he immediately stood up, smiling broadly, and said: "Ah, Jianqiang has come. Old Gu, let me introduce you: this is the renowned Zaocheng Chairman Zhao Jianqiang."

That bald man also hurriedly stood up, extending his hand to me,

"'Chairman Zhao, I have come upon hearing your name; hearing about you is nothing like seeing you in person. Chairman Zhao, you are truly refined and elegant.'"

I also extended my hand,

I smiled at the man and said: "You must be Bank Manager Gu, right? I also came upon hearing your name; I've heard that your Huaihai Bank is top-notch in the entire Huaihai region."

Bank Manager grasped my hand and laughed, saying, "Chairman Zhao, you flatter me, you flatter me; it's just a small bank, making a living, compared to your Da Heng Group, it's really not worth mentioning."

"Enough, you two stop praising each other; you're both outstanding talents in the industry. This Jianqiang is my longtime good brother,"

Bank Manager is also an old partner of mine for many years.

Today we have this opportunity to get to know each other.

"What's this for? Drinking, right? Shi Yong. When Shi Yong arrives, I immediately perk up." Niu Ju, standing to the side, said happily.

Bank Manager quickly shook hands with Shi Yong again,

"Manager Shi, right? Niu Ju just kept praising you, saying your drinking is tops in Zaocheng. I see, it's indeed true."

Shi Yong hurriedly said, "Bank Manager, I see you're also a bold person; how about we boil wine and discuss heroes later?"

"Oh, I'm no hero, I'm a clumsy bear. Manager Shi, please spare me. My drinking can't even hold a candle to yours." Bank Manager said politely.

After Bank Manager finished meeting Shi Yong, he then pointed to Sun Dajun and Ya Li behind me and asked, "Who are these two? Are they celebrities from somewhere? Really a beauty and a handsome guy."

I hurriedly said to Bank Manager, "This is my son, Sun Dajun, currently serving as General Manager in the group."

"This is Kang Yali, who serves as finance manager in our company. To welcome Bank Manager's arrival, I brought all the leaders of the group company."

"I hope Bank Manager can find time to come to our group for guidance."

"No need for pleasantries, Chairman Zhao. A tiger father has no dog son; this General Manager Sun is really handsome. I took a liking to him at first sight,"

"Of course, Manager Kang is even more like a star."

"It seems the leaders of Da Heng Group are all outstanding figures from Zaocheng. Getting to know you is also my good fortune."

This Bank Manager speaks with a smile on his face,

looks very kind,

actually, such people are the hardest to deal with. They're commonly called "smiling tigers."

Niu Ju said, "Enough, Old Gu, stop praising. Da Jun isn't an outsider; he's my adopted son. Everyone, sit down. Waiter, bring the food and drinks; tonight we'll drink heartily."

After Niu Ju finished speaking, he sat in the seat of honor,

I and Bank Manager, urging each other, sat on either side of Niu Ju. Today Niu Ju didn't arrange any subordinates; it looks like there won't be a drinking contest.

Soon the waiter filled the table with food and drink.
