Chapter 168: A penny is hard to beat a hero
One o'clock in the afternoon.
The winter sun shines through the thin clouds, shining on the vast land after the snow, and the reflection of the silver light is a little dizzy, this day is a rare warm weather, so there are many pedestrians on the side of the road, everyone stands under the warm sun, lazily enjoying this comfortable weekend.
In front of the Panshi Building, Yu Zhiguang and Lu Jianwei followed the middle-aged strong man out and sat in his Audi Q7 car together.
After Yu Zhiguang sat down in the co-pilot, he took out a cigarette and handed it to the strong man: "Brother Lei Gang, smoke!"
"Do you know me?" Lei Gang, who had just started the car, heard Yu Zhiguang call out his name, and asked with a smile in surprise.
"I've been serving Brother Chai since I was in prison, so I've heard him say something about you. Yu Zhiguang waited for Lei Gang to put the cigarette in his mouth, and diligently handed over the lighter to help him light the cigarette, and then continued: "Brother Chai said to me, one of your companies was going to build a factory, and you had a conflict with the other party when you were requisitioning the land, and the other party had a steel crossbow in his hand, and there were more than 20 people, but you rushed up single-handedly with a knife, and then the crossbow arrow of the other party slashed against your forehead, leaving a scar, so I knew who you were as soon as I met you just now." β
"Hehe, it seems that my eldest brother has told you a lot about our past. Lei Gang smiled when he heard this, reversed the car out of the parking space, and slowly drove into the highway: "You are very lucky today, just in time for me and the people from the bank to come over to do the assessment, otherwise you really don't know when you will see my eldest brother." β
"Brother Lei Gang, I'll ask a little more. Yu Zhiguang saw Lei Gang mention the company's matter, and asked along the lines: "When Brother Chai was released from prison, he clearly told me that I would come to Panshi Mansion to find him, but I went upstairs just now, how did I find ......?"
"Juding Group, after my eldest brother was imprisoned, collapsed, over the years, in order to let him be able to reform in peace, so we have never mentioned the company's affairs to him. Lei Gang saw Yu Zhiguang's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, and did not shy away from this topic: when Juding Group was working here, the property of Panshi Building was registered in the name of my eldest brother and his brother-in-law, so it was not affected, and now my eldest brother was released from prison not long ago, and the funds in his hand are not abundant, so he mortgaged Panshi Building to the bank, I came here today to do this, you two are lucky, just met me with someone from the bank to do the assessment, otherwise the sea of people, we want to meet is not easyγ β
"That's!That's!" Yu Zhiguang nodded again and again, and Lu Jianwei in the back seat listened to Lei Gang's words, but his heart was his own little Jiujiu, because he heard Lei Gang mention Chai Huanan's economic situation is embarrassing, and he was afraid that the other party would take this opportunity to bite a piece of meat on himself, or pick up some wool or something, now Yang Dong, who has just started in society, has already made him anxious, if he is targeted by Chai Huanan again, he will definitely not even have a chance to struggle, he will have to be cold.
Lei Gang and Yu Zhiguang, who were talking in front, obviously didn't notice Lu Jianwei's increasingly ugly face, and Lei Gang was also relatively easy-going, and he didn't have any arrogance, so he asked Zhiguang: "Hey, when you first entered prison, didn't my eldest brother ask you about Juding?"
"I asked, how could I not ask, at that time, after I was imprisoned, I lived in an ordinary cell with 16 people, and then Brother Chai heard that I was his hometown, so he asked me to go to the high prison, and lived with him in a four-person room, responsible for taking care of his daily life, at that time he asked me about the situation of Juding, but with my rank, I couldn't touch these things, so I didn't answer. In the face of Lei Gang, who is also famous in society, Yu Zhiguang is inevitably a little restrained.
"I've been taking care of my eldest brother in it for the past few years, and I've worked hard for you. β
"It should. Yu Zhiguang grinned: "This is my honor!"
......
On the other side, Erli took the two little brothers around him, and after driving to pick up Yang Dong at the gym, the four of them sat in a nearby Sichuan-style hot pot restaurant, and after ordering, they didn't talk about anything serious, and directly moved their chopsticks.
"Dongzi, you try this, their beef is quite famous, every time I come to the city, I will come to eat!" Erli sat at the table, spicy and sweaty, and while fanning the wind on his face with his hand, he greeted Yang Dong warmly.
"Hey, good!" Yang Dong sat next to Erli, also eating happily, and did not speak by the action of eating.
Erli said to Yang Dong that he came to the city today to do other things, but both of them knew each other's thoughts in their hearts, Erli's so-called coming to the city to do things was just an excuse, he actually came to Yang Dong to ask for money, but in addition to eating, he still didn't mention money.
Yang Dong borrowed 100,000 yuan in the hands of Erli, and the interest per month is 5,000, and the meal that Erli invited Yang Dong to eat, the orders are also expensive dishes, and after careful calculation, the settlement also needs more than 2,000, Erli would rather use half of the interest money to invite Yang Dong to eat, and also meet with him, just to show his attitude, I spent more than 2,000 yuan to invite you to dinner, I don't feel distressed, because we are friends, and you owe me money, you have to give me the money, this is the rule.
Yang Dong sat next to Erli, naturally he also knew what he was thinking and the theme of this meal, and he knew that Erli had already given himself enough face, and today's meal was already Erli's bottom line, if Yang Dong delayed the repayment time until Erli contacted him next time, then the two of them would definitely have to completely tear their faces.
I have to say that Erli is a person with high emotional intelligence, since Yang Dong's interest on the arrears is overdue, he has contacted Yang Dong twice, but he never mentioned the money, let alone urged the account, whether it is from the perspective of friends, or from the perspective of interests, his approach is impeccable, and it is precisely because of this that Yang Dong's heart is even more embarrassed, he is a person who eats soft and does not eat hard, at this time Erli has almost softened into snot, you go to play scoundrels with others, is this appropriate?
It stands to reason that at this meal, Yang Dong should bring up the matter, but he thought about it, but he couldn't speak, the so-called penny is difficult to defeat the hero, Yang Dong has borrowed all the channels around him that can borrow money at the moment, and in the face of the interest of five thousand yuan on Erli's side, he is really a little short of breath, so he can only continue to be cheeky and pretend to be stupid.
For Yang Dong, Erli's soft way of collecting debts makes him more uncomfortable than direct collection, because Erli's actions are tantamount to treating Yang Dong as a friend, and Yang Dong is a person who has never been willing to owe a friend.
......
Fifteen minutes later.
"Squeak!"
Lei Gang's Audi Q7 stepped on the brakes and stopped at the edge of a block in Donggang New District, a highway only a few hundred meters away from the sea.
"It's here, let's go. Lei Gang greeted the two, and then took the lead in walking towards a two-storey building on the side of the road, Lu Jianwei and Yu Zhiguang glanced at each other, and followed together.
Lei Gang brought the two of them to this business network, is Chai Huanan's temporary lease of shelter, although Chai Huanan so far, there is no business in his hands, but after all, he is the big brother of the rivers and lakes, even if he is a hundred times worse than back then, but its volume is still not comparable to ordinary people, so his downfall at the moment is still very different from the downfall in Lu Jianwei's imagination.
Five minutes later, Yu Zhiguang and Lu Jianwei met Chai Huanan himself in the office on the second floor, Chai Huanan is now in his forties, but his figure is still well-proportioned, with a meticulous oil hair, and his facial features are distinct, faintly revealing a heroic spirit.
Chai Huanan's office is extremely spacious, about five meters wide, and more than eight meters deep, comparable to a small house, and the interior decoration is very luxurious, with light gray wool carpets under the feet, a variety of valuable solid wood tables and cabinets are arranged in an orderly manner, and the golden ceiling is hung with European-style ceiling lights, especially on the side of the room facing the sea, it is a huge floor-to-ceiling window, through the window, the blue sea is turning over the white waves, hitting the reef on the shore at once, the seabirds hovering in the sky and the cruise ship sliding on the sea in the distance, forming a turbulent majestic sceneryγ
How magnificent it is to take the sea as a painting.
Since Lu Jianwei entered Chai Huanan's office, he was silent, I don't know if it was because of Chai Huanan's prestige, or the powerful aura of the middle-aged man in front of him, which always made him feel a little at a loss.
"Brother Chai, it's been a long time, you're okay. Yu Zhiguang stood opposite Chai Huanan and took the lead in saying hello.
"Sit down. Chai Huanan sat on the boss's chair behind the table, and his voice responded in a thick voice, his words were simple and powerful, although they were not stiff, but unconsciously, they seemed to have an undoubted penetrating power.
"Hey!" Yu Zhiguang waited for Chai Huanan to speak, and then pulled Lu Jianwei to sit on the sofa on the side.
"Gangzi, let someone bring in a pot of tea. Chai Huanan gave Lei Gang an order, then walked away from behind the desk, walked towards Yu Zhiguang, sat on the sofa opposite, and frowned slightly: "What's wrong with your arm?"
"Brother Chai, I came here today to beg you because of this matter. Yu Zhiguang pointed to Lu Jianwei beside him: "Let me introduce you first, this is my brother-in-law." β
"Mr. Chai, hello! I am the general manager of Xinfan Greening, and my name is Lu Jianwei. Lu Jianwei took the opportunity to introduce himself.
"Hmm. Chai Huanan just responded lightly, and motioned to Yu Zhiguang to continue with his eyes.
"Brother Chai, in recent times, my brother-in-law was entangled by a ruffian, the little ruffian is called Yang Dong, the first was in the farmers' market to open a snack shop, and then because of some trivial things, I helped my brother-in-law a favor, my brother-in-law reciprocated, and threw him a greening project, during this period, Yang Dong did not hack my brother-in-law's money, and when the project ended, my brother-in-law because of the company's turnover problems, so he owed Yang Dong a million project money, although this arrears did not have any formalities and written agreements, but my brother-in-law did not want to repay the account, just said to let Yang Dong wait first, as long as the funds in his hand are abundant, immediately settle the payment, but Yang Dong not only disagreed, I still have to inch in, I asked my brother-in-law to take out half of the company's shares to offset the account, my brother-in-law didn't comply, he stopped the construction site in my brother-in-law's hand, I wanted to come forward to talk to him, but that's it. Yu Zhiguang finished his words with an innocent face, and then gestured at the arm hanging on his chest: "Brother Chai, don't you say that Yang Dong is slandering people?"
"Is what he said true?" After listening to Yu Zhiguang's words, Chai Huanan turned his inquiring gaze to Chai Huanan.
"Yes, it's true. Lu Jianwei nodded busily, before coming to see Chai Huanan today, Yu Zhiguang said that Chai Huanan belongs to the eldest brother who has reached the top, so when doing things, in addition to interests, he must also take care of his reputation and face, so he must not help himself to bully people, and if he wants to get things done through him, he can only tell the truth, and Yu Zhiguang's words just now, although there is some confusion between black and white, but it is undeniable that what he said is indeed true, Lu Jianwei responded, and then added: " Mr. Chai, in recent times, my capital chain has returned to normal, so I owe Yang Dong the amount of one million project money, I still admit it, but he bit to death to ask for my company's shares, it is really a bit deceitful, today Daguang brought me to see you, not to want to take this surname Yang how, just to let you say peace from it, I will pay him back, and he should stop embarrassing me. β
When Chai Huanan heard this, he bowed slightly: "Okay, I know about this, you go back first and prepare the project money owed to the other party, and then come to me." β
"Mr. Chai, I have prepared this money. As Lu Jianwei spoke, he lowered his head and took out a bank card in his handbag and placed it on the coffee table in front of Chai Huanan: "Although I have nothing to do with people in the society, before I came here today, I also heard Daguang introduce your strength to me, you help me do this, I won't let you work in vain." β
"Do you think you can afford to pay me for an errand?" Chai Huanan smiled slightly, but asked with sharp eyes.
Lu Jianwei was glanced at by Chai Huanan and was stunned.
"When I was in prison, Daguang helped me wash the bowl for three years, and the reason why I agreed to help you was only because of this feeling. Chai Huanan didn't mention anything else at all, and turned his head to look at Lei Gang: "Call Gong Hui back to the company, you can deal with this matter with him." β
"Okay!" Lei Gang replied in a deep voice.
"Brother Chai, thank you!"
Yu Zhiguang saw that Chai Huanan had taken care of the matter, and he was immediately overjoyed, and glanced at Lu Jianwei beside him, and in the other party's eyes, he also saw the eager dawn.
