Chapter 770

The two of them arrived at the Industrial and Commercial Bank together, where Xu Haimin held his accounts. Upon arriving, he asked Su Xinghui to wait outside while he went to the back office to find President Gong.

160,000 was a huge sum of money. Nowadays, it was generally impossible to withdraw it on the same day; it required an appointment—you had to make an appointment the day before to withdraw it the next day. However, Xu Haimin was a major client of the Industrial and Commercial Bank, and he had an excellent relationship with President Gong. If President Gong helped, he could withdraw it on the same day.

Sure enough, President Gong personally brought Xu Haimin to the business hall and helped him withdraw the money. Xu Haimin thanked President Gong repeatedly, got into his car, and then handed the 160,000 yuan wrapped in newspaper to Su Xinghui, saying, "Here you go, Xinghui. Are you going home now? I'll give you a ride."

Su Xinghui thought that since he had bought those items, he would need a vehicle to take them home. Therefore, he put the money into his bag and said to Xu Haimin, "Uncle Xu, please drop me off at Zhuangyuan Lane. I need to buy something there, and then I'll take it home. I'll also have to trouble you to wait for me outside the lane for a moment."

Xu Haimin nodded, "No problem."

Xu Haimin drove to Nanmen Street. Su Xinghui asked, "When will this residential area be completed?"

Xu Haimin said, "I estimate by May or June next year. By the way, the commercial street will be completed by next month. By then, your family's storefronts can be rented out to collect rent."

Su Xinghui nodded. With the rent from those storefronts, life at home would be even better.

Soon, the car arrived at the entrance of Zhuangyuan Lane. Su Xinghui got out and said, "Uncle Xu, please wait a moment. I estimate it will take about half an hour."

Xu Haimin said, "It's fine, go ahead."

Su Xinghui got out of the car, entered the lane, and knocked on the door of the Hou residence. Hou Dali said in surprise, "Little Su, you're back so soon?"

Su Xinghui nodded, "Yes, I borrowed the money from a friend."

Hou Dali brought him into the inner room. Su Xinghui took out the money. Hou Dali counted it once and nodded, "160,000, that's correct. Take another look at the items."

Su Xinghui examined the items carefully once more. Although he trusted Hou Dali, this was the rule of the trade: before leaving, one must examine the items clearly; otherwise, it would be difficult to explain if any problems arose.

After verifying that there were no errors, Su Xinghui nodded and said, "Uncle Hou, no problem."
