Chapter 1331: You

"Your cousin is a very sentimental person, Du Ruian; you should cherish this opportunity well." Zhang Xianguang cast a glance at his subordinate beside him.

The subordinate took out a document.

Zhang Xianguang handed the document to "Du Ye": "This is the situation of the debt he owes me. After calculating, he still owes me 12.52 million. I genuinely want to get to know you, so I'll wipe away the 520,000 remainder. You just need to give me 12 million."

"Du Ye" took the document and looked it over carefully, a bitter smile appearing at the corner of his mouth: "Mr. Zhang, as far as I know, my cousin only borrowed 10 million from you at the start. The original interest was 18 percent. At the time, he had already repaid 11 million; he was only short 800,000.

Later, you occupied his factory, and also snatched away his car, house, and company. Now he still owes you over 12 million—no matter how you calculate this account, it's unreasonable!"

Zhang Xianguang's expression turned cold:

"Boss Du, every trade has its rules!

Was it not signed by him in black and white?

If it's signed, the debt must be acknowledged.

After he fled to Yangcheng, I always knew where he was living. I didn't go find him out of consideration for our past relationship.

I have already done everything that benevolence and duty require.

Since you want to settle things for him, then you should be straightforward.

If you don't have the ability, then stand aside; don't puff yourself up at your own cost!"

"Du Ye" laughed in spite of himself: "Boss Zhang, your words are biased. No one's money is blown in by a strong wind. The price you've set exceeds my expectations; I suggest you give a reasonable price."

Zhang Xianyao, sitting beside Zhang Xianguang, slammed the table in anger, pointed at "Du Ye's" nose, and cursed: "You fake foreigner, it is only right and proper to pay back debts. If he had fulfilled the agreement and paid back the money straightforwardly, would we have extorted him? If you don't pay the money today, he definitely won't be able to leave."

"Du Ye" feigned confusion: "Why wouldn't he be able to leave?"

Zhang Xianyao pushed open the private room's window and pointed below, saying: "Below are all my men. If Du Ruian doesn't pay the money today, I will absolutely not let him leave. As for you, go stay wherever it's cool."

"Du Ye" remained calm: "Boss Zhang is a businessman; don't you know the rules of talking business? At least give some room for a counteroffer!"

Zhang Xianyao said angrily: "Don't even think about paying a cent less."

"Du Ye" looked at Zhang Xianguang calmly: "Boss Zhang, it is us who are discussing business. Your brother being so agitated is disrespectful to me, and also disrespectful to you."

Zhang Xianguang held down Zhang Xianyao's shoulder, a smile appearing on his face: "You are younger than me; it is not excessive for me to call you 'little brother'.

Our trade has rules. If the rules are broken, it will be hard to do things in the future.

How about this: for the sake of our affinity, I will lower it by another million. Today, you only need to give me 11 million.

From now on, the debt between me and Du Ruian will be wiped clean!"

"Du Ye" was silent for a moment, then cast a glance at the person behind him.

That person took out a checkbook and placed it by "Du Ye's" hand.

"Du Ye" picked up a pen, wrote 11 million on the check, and then handed it to Zhang Xianguang.

Zhang Xianguang handed the check to Zhang Xianyao: "Go verify it."

Zhang Xianyao took the check and walked out of the private room.

Seeing that "Du Ye" was quite wealthy—giving 11 million just like that—Zhang Xianguang secretly thought that this fake foreigner might be worth befriending; perhaps he could bring him opportunities to get rich.

"Boss Du, my brother has gone to verify the check. Although the way we met was a bit awkward, I truly admire you. If you have thoughts of investing domestically, we can cooperate. In Xiyang, I can ensure you get the best policies and resources."

"Du Ye" smiled faintly: "Boss Zhang, I do indeed want to invest domestically, with priority in Xiyang. However, it is hard for me to believe your words. After all, my cousin previously suffered a great loss at your hands."

Zhang Xianguang secretly thought "Du Ye" was not so easy to fool and felt a bit disappointed. However, having recovered 11 million from this trip today, he still felt quite comfortable.

He picked up his teacup and said with a smile: "Let us meet with a smile and dissolve our grudges. Old Du, I toast you; although we have had unpleasantness, I sincerely hope you can make a comeback."

Du Ruian picked up his cup and drank the tea in one gulp: "Thank you for your well wishes."

The next second, the door was pushed open heavily.

Zhang Xianyao walked to Zhang Xianguang's side in a state of exasperation: "Brother, I just had finance verify this check. Finance said this check is fake."

Zhang Xianguang looked at "Du Ye" in surprise: "Boss Du, what is the meaning of this?"

"Du Ye" continued to act: "Boss Zhang, the check is absolutely real. You accepted my check and then said it was fake—is this a deliberate attempt to frame me? I am here today to settle things, why would I do something so unnecessary?"

Zhang Xianguang glared at Zhang Xianyao: "Did finance make a mistake?"

Zhang Xianyao shook his head: "Our finance department is very professional; how could they not tell if a check is real or fake? Brother, they are deliberately playing you for a fool!"

For a moment, Zhang Xianguang only felt his head go a bit numb.

Judging by his brother's reaction, the check was definitely fake.

But why would the other party use a check to fool him?

Even if they could deceive him for a moment, it would be exposed later.

Zhang Xianguang tried to restrain his anger: "Boss Du, stop joking. I advise you to finish this matter quickly. My time is very precious; I don't have the time to waste with you here."

Zhang Xianyao said coldly: "Brother, he is doing this on purpose. Don't waste your breath on him. Just do it!"

Having said that, Zhang Xianyao gave a wink to a subordinate beside him.

The subordinate walked straight toward Du Ruian and pressed his hand on Du Ruian's shoulder.

However, in the next second, his hand was pulled away by someone.

Before the subordinate could react, he was given a shoulder throw by Han Hu and pinned to the ground.

Zhang Xianguang's expression became very ugly: "I see it now. You aren't here to pay off debts today, but to get even."

Zhang Xianyao frowned: "Brother, let's do it! They won't shed tears until they see the coffin; they really think we are soft persimmons."

Zhang Xianguang nodded to his brother, "Let the brothers come up!"

Zhang Xianyao took a walkie-talkie from his waist: "Hurry up and come up to help."

Immediately, Zhang Xianyao's eyes were full of coldness as he stared at the few people in front of him, "You are in big trouble!"

The people below heard the notification, immediately got out of their cars, and walked into Wanghulou.

At the same time, those guests who were originally having morning tea also received the notification.

Once the Zhang brothers' subordinates walked into the room, they immediately stood up and closed the door...
