Chapter 7: The Dried Carp on it
September 22nd.
Tenth Fu Road.
Today is the 35th anniversary of the White Horse Commercial City. When you enter the building, every shop is lit up in front of the door, and tourists rub shoulders with each other, and the lively atmosphere is very different from yesterday's deserted scene.
A large amusement center was set up in the display area in the center of the mall, and the theme was a birthday party. The staff with funny birthday hats kept shouting and invited visitors with birthdays in September to participate in the raffle. A beautiful girl with long hair is also handing out flyers, which attracts a lot of attention.
Wearing a suit, combing her back hair, and wearing glasses, "Lan Silin" took a deep breath, the flirtatious smile on her face was exhausted, and she squeezed into the elevator with the bustling flow of people.
The sixth floor is no longer a commercial area. What he pressed was the seventh floor.
Today was the last time he would meet Jiang Zhilin.
β¦β¦
In the office building of "Ancheng Credit Company", the clerks who are immersed in their work are as hard as ever. On the office desk isolated separately, Jiang Zhilin pushed out the silver suitcase in his hand.
"Mr. Lan Silin, here is your advance payment of 10 million loans, the total is 2 million, please take a look." Jiang Zhilin still maintained a professional smile on his face.
Lan Silin pursed her lips, opened the lock of the suitcase, and stacks of RMB were tightly spread throughout the box. He took out a stack and carefully twisted them one by one, all of them were new serial bills that had just been taken out of the bank, and they could not be faked.
"Thank you so much...... Thank you so much...... As long as there are two million, there will be no problem......" Lan Silin's lips trembled, and the word excitement seemed to be printed on her face, making Jiang Zhilin feel disgusted.
But her acting skills are excellent, and there is no trace of abnormality on her face. Laughed:
"Although the prepaid loan does not fit within the scope of our company's responsibility, I am glad to be able to help you, sir. At the same time, we hope that the new watch under your name will sell well. β
The deal has been completed, and the two seem to be much more relaxed. Jiang Zhilin took out the watch given by Lan Silin from his bag and said with a smile:
"I've also learned about your watch. It is true that a normal mechanical watch cannot adjust the calendar between 9 p.m. and 3 a.m., and if it is hastily adjusted, it is likely to cause damage to the gears...... But the mechanical watch you developed perfectly solves this drawback, presumably mastering a better manufacturing process, right? β
"It's also the craft I'm most proud of," says Lan Silin.
"It's great that you're able to like it. Ah, by the way, as for the loan part, I will definitely repay it on time before the mortgage date, Miss Jiang, you can put 10,000 hearts at ease. β
As she spoke, Lan Silin had already closed the suitcase, hugged it in front of her, and stood up with a smile on her face:
"According to the agreement, I will transfer the deposit of 3 million to your company's bank account as soon as I go back...... So ......"
"Please wait a minute."
Lan Silin's movements froze as she turned around. The smile on his face was also frozen.
But Jiang Zhilin was still smiling. Her smile was indifferent, with a mockery. The tone was not as calm as before.
"Mr. Lan-everyone is already here, so there's no need to wait until you go back to pay the mortgage, right?"
Cold sweat oozed from Lan Silin's forehead.
"Miss Jiang...... Not suitable, right? I don't have a bank card with me right now......"
"You don't need a bank card, do you?" Jiang Zhilin slowly stood up, crossed his arms, tilted his head slightly, and looked at him with deep meaning:
"A few days ago, when Mr. Lan showed me your deposit at the bank, didn't he log in to the online bank to inquire?"
She narrowed her eyes slightly:
"If you just need a computer to transfer money, we can provide it right now."
Lan Silin's whole body stiffened, and the sweat on her face couldn't be wiped off, so she laughed dryly:
"That's right, I ......"
"That's right. In order to protect Mr. Lan's income, but also to ensure the safety of this transaction. In fact, our company will have a fixed procedure before the transaction is completed......"
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Zhilin interrupted directly. Her indifferent momentum and the kind image of the leader were like two people, and there was a sneer on her face:
"βwe brought in a 'notary.'"
As soon as he finished speaking, the office door opened. A middle-aged man in a suit walked in with a briefcase and nodded to the two.
"Hello two, I'm a notary."
He placed the briefcase on the table and pulled a certificate from inside.
"This is my notary certificate."
Lan Silin looked away stiffly.
The certificate clearly reads:
Gu Feng, a national first-class notary.
------------------
The little girl was only about six or seven years old, and she was pushed by the crowd of people coming and going, and she couldn't find her way, so she was so anxious that she began to cry.
A delicate arm rested lightly on her shoulder, and the little girl was startled, and when she turned her head, she saw an older sister she didn't know. She smiled softly and helped wipe the tears from the girl's face:
"What's wrong? Lost with your mother? β
"Hmm-"
The girl sniffed, looking at her with a look of helplessness. The sister looked like she was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and although she was a stranger, she was not very scary.
"My sister is a staff member here." She pointed to the name tag on her T-shirt, "Don't be afraid, I'll take you to Mom, okay?" β
The girl looked at her sister for a long time, and the latter winked at her playfully, and she didn't know why, she didn't panic at all, and nodded slowly:
"Okay."
"That's good." My sister laughed, and she looked so good when she smiled. She took a pack of tissues out of her pocket and wiped her nose for her.
"Come on, blow your nose."
--------------------
"The contract drawn up under Ancheng Credit Co., Ltd. has legal effect. In other words, it is Mr. Lancelin's legal obligation to pay the collateral in a timely manner after the loan is disbursed. β
Gu Feng took out a voice recorder and a copy of the loan contract from his briefcase.
"Miss Jiang Zhilin made a notarization application yesterday, I will be here to ensure the fairness of the transaction between the two parties, and the recording of the conversation between the two will be sealed as evidence for retention, and it will definitely not be leaked, please rest assured."
"How?" Jiang Zhilin had a mocking smile on his face:
"Mr. Lan Silin, the notaries are here, you are not in a hurry to leave, are you?"
Lan Silin turned around slowly, his face was terrifyingly blue, the back of his neck was already soaked with sweat, and the cold wind of the air conditioner blew in, and he felt like falling into an ice cellar.
"Mr. Lan Silin," Jiang Zhilin said, "If there is no problem, how about I provide you with a computer for transferring money now?" β
"Actually......" Lan Silin's Adam's apple moved, twitching the corners of her mouth:
"I ...... I forgot my password for online banking......"
"Heh......" Jiang Zhilin snorted coldly:
"That's not a coincidence."
She looked at the notary on the side again, and said in a strange manner:
"Mr. Notary, what should I do in this situation?"
Gu Feng nodded and responded businesslikely:
"According to the contract, the disbursement of the loan and the payment of the collateral must be made at the same time, otherwise it cannot be regarded as a legitimate transaction, and if Mr. Lan Celin is unable to pay the collateral, the loan he has just received must be repaid immediately."
After a pause, he continued:
"Mr. Lan Silin needs to be reminded that since you are already famous in the contract, it means that you have agreed to the rules of the contract, if you do not pay the deposit in time...... Miss Jiang Zhilin, she has the right to sue you. β
"I don't need to talk about it."
Sweat has penetrated into the back. Lan Silin gritted her teeth, and made a very soft sound with all her might.
"I'll pay now."
------------------
The sweet-looking and cute girl led a little girl back to the birthday party amusement center in the middle of the mall, looked around, and walked to the management manager in charge of this area.
"Manager, this girl is lost in the mall, can you take her to the radio room to find her mother?"
The management manager turned his head and was stunned when he saw the girl, and then looked at the little girl she was holding in her hand.
"Lost? How good is that...... Will you go to the radio room? I'm still working on the mall guide, and I can't get out of ......."
"The radio room seems to be on the third floor, except for the first floor, which I am familiar with, I haven't been to many other places......" The girl stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.
"That's it......" The management manager looked at the girl in front of her, wearing a staff T-shirt for the store celebration, and a birthday hat on her head, which seemed to be a bit of a face, and the name tag on her chest was also an unfamiliar name, thinking that she was a temporary student who was invited to work part-time for a day. She frowned and asked:
"You just said that you are familiar with the first floor?"
"That's right," the girl winked, "Actually, I often come here to shop......"
The management manager thought for a moment and took off the yellow cuff on his sleeve:
"In this case, I'll take this little girl to the radio studio first, you can help me here for you, there will be tourists coming to ask for directions, if you know, try to show the way."
The cuff was printed with the words "Mall Manager", and the girl blinked and smiled:
"Okay."
------------------
The sound of fingers tapping on the keyboard is the only sound in the huge office.
Like monotonous notes.
Bank account, he remembers.
Password, he also remembers.
But...... At this moment, he would rather not remember anything himself.
The computer screen glowing with blue light seemed like a bottomless cliff to Lan Silin at this time. A man and a woman behind him are ghosts urging death.
Login.
Mouse movements.
Personal account.
Deposit.
Balance: $432,000.
Convert into...... Renminbi...... Million.
Lan Silin swallowed her saliva, and her trembling mouse pointer slowly moved to the "transfer" item.
The transferor is Jiang Zhilin's bank account.
Now, it's just one last step......
The last step in front of the cliff.
Three million borrowed from usury by all means. After a light carriage return, the cloud will dissipate.
"Mr. Lan Silin, what's wrong?" Jiang Zhilin said word by word:
"We've come this far, don't waste each other's time, okay?"
"Anyway, you are also the eldest young master of a well-known overseas watch company...... These three million are not important to you, right? β
Her smile grew stronger:
"Or ...... You're not really a young master, are you? β
Lan Silin closed her eyes. I took a deep breath, and even my breath trembled uncontrollably.
A crisp keyboard sounded.
The moment she pressed the enter key, Lan Silin seemed to have her whole soul sucked dry.
On the computer, the English string indicating that the transfer is successful,
It's scary.
Jiang Zhilin smiled hideously.
--------------------
There was a quick knock on the door in the security duty room on the second floor, and the security guard hurriedly snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, opened a crack in the door, and saw a very good-looking girl.
"What's the matter with you?"
"Please!" The girl looked very anxious, her eyes were slightly red, and she held his upper arm with both hands:
"Big brother security, can you help? I'm the interim manager here, and I wanted to go to the props room to get something, but I realized that I didn't know when I lost my key...... I really don't know what to do anymore...... Do you have a spare key to use......"
The security guard was stunned, looked at the girl twice, looked at her arm, and saw the yellow cuff on the T-shirt - it was indeed the manager of the mall, although it was a little bit naΓ―ve.
The touch from his arm made the twenty-five or sixteen-year-old man feel a little flustered. Without thinking about it, he walked out the door, locked the security room, and patted the large set of keys on his waist.
"Let's go."
"Ahh The girl was slightly stunned, and her face was full of surprise: "Great, big brother security, you are such a good person, thank you!" β
The security guard led the girl all the way to the props room on the second floor, opened the door with a spare key, and when she learned that the props she was going to take were a complete set of puppet costumes, she was obliged to find a trolley for her, and personally helped her push her to the elevator entrance, and the girl kept nodding and bowing to him along the way to thank him, at that moment, the security guard felt that he was as cool as a 007.
"Our mall...... When did you have such a beautiful manager? β
With a feeling of satisfaction, the security guard roared towards the security room.
--------------------
"This is the end of the deal. Then, I also sincerely wish Mr. Lan Celin...... May your new watch help your career take off. β
Jiang Zhilin's last words still echoed in his ears.
When she walked out of the office, Lan Silin was already in the form of a walking corpse.
The clerks in the office stopped working with their heads.
Dozens of people raised their heads in unison, silently watching the young man in the suit staggering through the hallway and towards the door. Their eyes were stiff like marionettes.
The door was slowly pulled open. When closed again. The departed "eldest young master" is destined to leave his life here.
Jiang Zhilin leaned against the wall and stretched, with a smile on her face, which belonged to her, the victor. The quick money of 800,000 yuan has arrived, and at least in the next few months, she will be able to worry about food and clothing.
Although until the last moment, she couldn't directly confirm whether the guy named Lan Silin was the peer who hit her head with the idea...... But there is no doubt that the risky move she made on the last day had achieved a complete victory.
The notary can indeed guarantee the legal benefits of this transaction...... But when he leaves, the so-called "Ancheng Credit" company will also be re-transformed into a non-existent leather bag company, and she has mastered the "finch" word craft in this "bee sparrow", and she is not afraid of being approached at all.
Jiang Zhilin was in a good mood at this time, and even looking at the notary with a calm face and meticulous work, he couldn't help but feel a little more good. Nodding and smiling at him:
"Mr. Gu, this time it's really hard for you."
Gu Feng's etiquette was very thoughtful, and he also nodded to Jiang Zhilin, while cleaning up the documents on the table:
"It's all within the purview of our notary public."
Jiang Zhilin grinned, and took it casually, just as a politeness:
"You are really dedicated and conscientious, worthy of being a servant of the people, you must have been in this industry for a long time, right?"
Unexpectedly, Gu Feng raised his head and responded seriously:
"Not really. The time I spent as a notary public, if I calculated carefully, should have only been half a month. β
Jiang Zhilin was stunned and said in surprise:
"Half a month...... Can you get the qualification of a first-class notary? β
"Luck." Gu Feng was a little embarrassed, but he showed a strange smile again, looked straight at Jiang Zhilin, and said:
"Actually, I'm a 'three-day-twilight' man. No matter what I do, I only like to taste it and am interested in everything, but my enthusiasm does not last long...... So, I have changed a lot of jobs in the past ten years. β
"Ah...... Is this so......" Jiang Zhilin didn't know why, she always felt that this man's sudden enthusiasm made her feel a little wrong, so she casually said a word or two, and only planned to send the guest directly.
Who knows, the man had no intention of leaving directly.
"Actually, I'm a little tired of working as a notary. After today, I should have resigned. During this time, I began to feel a little interested in ancient literature...... By the way, Miss Jiang, do you know the 'carp of the dry rut'? β
"I don't know much." Jiang Zhilin smiled politely, and began to secretly scold this man in his heart for not knowing what to do.
But Gu Feng didn't read the atmosphere at this time, and introduced quite enthusiastically:
In fact, this is an allusion from "Zhuangzi Foreign Things", Zhou came yesterday, there was a middle way and called, Zhou looked at the ruts, there was a carp. The dried carp refers to the small fish churning in the ditch of a dry car, and is generally used as a metaphor for those who are in trouble and unable to save themselves...... That's a brilliant metaphor indeed, right? β
"Perhaps."
Enobayashi began to feel irritable.
Dried up carp...... At this time, it may be appropriate to use it on that Lan Silin.
Just thinking about it, Gu Feng finally packed up the documents at hand, and nodded to Jiang Zhilin:
"Well, my job is done. Have a good day, Miss Enobayashi. As he spoke, he turned his head to himself and walked out of the office, still muttering a polite phrase:
"Hopefully we can meet again if we have the chance...... No, it's better not to say goodbye. Well, have a great day. β
It's better not to say goodbye...... Jiang Zhilin frowned. Before he could figure out the meaning of this sentence, Gu Feng had already left Ancheng Credit Company on his own.
Whatever, now she's been a success in her deception anyway.
Jiang Zhilin breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the office, with a cheerful smile on his face again.
"Ladies and gentlemen...... Great work. β
The actors at the writing desk stood up and cheered.
800,000 has arrived. Now, just disappear, and that's it.
Jiang Zhilin walked freely through the crowd, with arrogance and coldness in his eyes. Feel like the queen of the crowd.
In seven or eight years, she has gone from being a poor village teacher to a rich person, and she has lost count of the number of times she has cheated during this time. But nothing can replace the joy that comes to her after every success. A strange smile began to uncontrollably spread across her face.
If...... I became a fraudster a few years ago...... That's it......
In the hustle and bustle, the mobile phone rang suddenly, Jiang Zhilin took out his mobile phone, saw the caller's name, frowned, signaled the actors to be quiet, and answered the phone with a sneer:
"Anything else? Blue ......"
"Have fun? Miss Enobayashi. β
The voice on the other end of the line interrupted her halfway through her speech.
The corners of Lan Silin's mouth hooked up a flirtatious and behaving smile.
Word by word:
"Fraudster Jiang Zhilin, I will accept your life."
