Chapter 37 -37: Show You What 10 Million Looks Like
The next day, Chen Cheng finalized the kitchen equipment, exhaust ducts, tables and stools, and the private room renovation plans before driving off to find Jin Baogen.
His heart was filled with doubts.
Although he clearly knew that Tong Jialu’s poor excuse was a lie, he still had to inform the related parties.
Returning to Chaoyang Park, he went to the same lakeside pavilion where Jin Baogen was already waiting.
“Mr.
Jin,” Chen Cheng approached quickly.
Jin Baogen nodded, “You’re here!”
“I got held up in traffic for a bit, sorry.”
“No worries, when is there ever no traffic these days?” Jin Baogen, while feeding the unacquainted redfin, asked, “What brings you here today?”
Chen Cheng carefully chose his words, “Mr.
Jin, has Beijing Securities ever offered you any financial products?”
Jin Baogen, holding a worm for the fish, was startled, “No.”
“That’s strange!
Yesterday I met someone…”
Chen Cheng recounted the whole story in detail, “You see, the girl didn’t need to panic so much just to fool me, right?”
“Tong Jialu…”
“Xia Yubing…”
Jin Baogen repeated these two names, then after a while, “I really don’t know them.”
“Alright then, I’ll go back to her,” Chen Cheng said with a smile: “At the very least, one should be honest.
Resorting to deceit shows that a person is no good!”
He picked up the birdcage from the ground, “Shall I carry this back to your car?”
Jin Baogen took a seat and handed Chen Cheng a cigarette.
“Mr.
Chen, do you think there’s something fishy about this situation?” He lit his cigarette.
Chen Cheng took one too, but feeling dizzy from the first puff after not smoking for two days.
He let it burn anyways.
“I too feel there’s something fishy!” Chen Cheng said candidly, “Ever since the last time I brought your redfin to them, the development of things seems off.”
He continued, “Especially Xia Yubing.
She seemed very eager to meet you.”
Jin Baogen took a drag, “After you asked me last time, I also had someone inquire about her.”
“What did they say?”
“Branch credit department manager, how would I know her.” Jin Baogen flicked the ash, “I don’t even know everyone at their headquarters!”
“Exactly!”
Jin Baogen pondered for a moment, “You just said they wanted to convince me to buy financial products?”
“Yes.”
“Starting from five million?”
Chen Cheng nodded.
Jin Baogen took a deep drag, his sharp gaze becoming deeper amidst the swirling smoke around him.
“Mr.
Chen, I have an idea.
Would you like to hear it?”
Chen Cheng sat up straight, “Go ahead.”
“You’ll go on my behalf and make an appearance.” Jin Baogen slowly said: “Take ten million over to their branch and test the waters.”
Chen Cheng nearly dropped his cigarette.
“Ten million, where would I find that much money?” Chen Cheng said with a wry smile.
“I mean you take the ten million I give you.” Jin Baogen looked at Chen Cheng with profound meaning, “Put on a show to draw the snake out of its hole.”
“You’re giving me ten million?”
Chen Cheng dug at his ear, “Mr.
Jin, this isn’t a joke.
If something’s not right, this money…”
Jin Baogen burst into laughter, “You’re just showing it to them!
You’re not really buying!”
“Just say that I’m currently not in Beijing and have fully entrusted you to handle this matter for me,” he continued.
“This money is simply to act as bait, to see what tricks they are really playing.”
“Okay, Mr.
Jin, I’ll follow your advice,” Chen Cheng took a deep breath, “When should I go?” freewebnøvel.com
“Call now?” Jin Baogen said with a smile.
“I didn’t realize you were in such a hurry!”
“Hahaha, just having fun!”
Under Jin Baogen’s gaze, Chen Cheng dialed Tong Jialu’s voice call.
“Brother Cheng?”
“Xiao Lu!” Chen Cheng glanced at Jin Baogen, “Is it convenient for you to talk?”
“Convenient!
Convenient!”
“I’ve contacted Mr.
Jin here.”
Tong Jialu’s tone rose three degrees, “Is he willing to meet again?”
Jin Baogen nodded.
Chen Cheng said, “He agreed.”
“Brother Cheng, thank you so much!” Tong Jialu’s voice nearly soared to the sky, “When and where shall we meet?”
“I’ll come to your bank!” Chen Cheng looked at the time on the screen, “In an hour.”
“Great!
I’ll wait for you at the entrance!”
After hanging up the phone, Jin Baogen stubbed out his cigarette and stood up, “Let’s go, let’s transfer the money now, the two of us!”
The two of them once again carried the birdcage and headed towards the parking lot.
When they reached the Land Cruiser, Jin Baogen called for his driver to bring over a tablet, and after logging into the internet bank, both parties entered the amount and the recipient’s account.
The numbers on the screen raced swiftly, and very soon, ¥10 million was transferred into Chen Cheng’s account.
“Mr.
Chen, thank you for taking the trouble to run this errand,” Jin Baogen said.
Chen Cheng looked at the real numbers on the transfer record and felt a jump in his heart.
“Mr.
Jin, rest assured, I will get a clear answer for you, and I will protect these funds well.”
Jin Baogen laughed heartily, “¥10 million, just for fun, isn’t it good?
Nowadays, there aren’t many things that can bring joy.”
Chen Cheng also smiled, “After everything is settled, I’ll refund the money to you.”
“No rush, it’s just numbers after all.” Curiosity also filled Jin Baogen’s eyes.
He had been in the thick of action for many years and had seen all sorts of things, but this situation was a first for him.
“I’m not worried with the money in your hands.” He glanced at his wristwatch, “It’s about time, you should go.”
“Alright!
I’ll notify you as soon as there’s news.”
Jin Baogen smiled faintly, “Good!”
Both of them got into their cars, Chen Cheng got into the Camry, and wiped his hand over the steering wheel, “Cough, I really should have rented a car today!”
But then he thought, “Mr.
Jin said to keep this money with me, so now with nearly ¥14 million in principal, how much interest can I make in a day?”
The Camry left the parking lot following the Land Cruiser, heading towards Beijing Banking Corporation amidst Chen Cheng’s brainstorming.
…
Arriving near Beijing Banking Corporation, Chen Cheng still parked the car at the previous intersection and walked the rest of the way.
Tong Jialu, standing at the bank entrance, anxiously and expectantly, hurried over as soon as she saw Chen Cheng’s figure from afar.
“Brother Cheng!” Seeing Chen Cheng standing there alone, she looked around, “Are you by yourself?”
Chen Cheng cleared his throat, “Mr.
Jin isn’t in Beijing right now; he entrusted me to come with the money to see you.”
He said with a smile, “What do you think?
Mr.
Jin is trustworthy, isn’t he?
He isn’t here, but the money is.”
Tong Jialu’s face stiffened, caught between a rock and a hard place.
“You’re so righteous, Brother Cheng!” Tong Jialu forced a smile, “Please, this way, our director has been waiting for a long time!”
“Okay.”
“Brother Cheng, does Mr.
Jin really want to buy our financial products?” Tong Jialu asked as they walked.
Chen Cheng took out his phone, showing the balance, “Could this be fake?
The money is right here!”
Tong Jialu’s eyes lit up considerably, and she calculated in her mind for a moment, “Brother Cheng!
Let’s discuss the details inside!
You are our VVVIP customer!”
Chen Cheng with his hands in his pockets, “Is that so?”
“Absolutely!” Tong Jialu stepped to the side to lead the way, “This way, please.”
