Chapter 108: Chapter 108: Cheat You of Ten Million!_1
However, Jiang He was a decent person, simple and honest, and I heard that after graduation, he even went to support rural construction.
Which caused many people to mock him.
I don’t know how he is doing now.
"Hmm!"
Jiang He said with a bitter smile, "I’ve come here thick-skinned because I actually want to ask everyone for a favor."
"Jiang He, it’s already decent of us to let you stay in our class reunion, and you still want to do what exactly?"
Tan Ting frowned and said.
"I’ll leave right after I finish speaking."
Although Jiang He felt embarrassed, he still endured it.
He was in trouble now, so even if it meant completely losing face, it didn’t matter anymore.
Tan Ting wanted to stop him, but Jiang Meng said, "Jiang He is quite familiar with our classmates.
He even audited our class for a year.
You could say he is half a classmate. Let him speak whatever he wants; after all, isn’t the reunion for connecting with feelings?"
Jiang He looked at Jiang Meng gratefully and began to speak, "This is the situation. I am currently serving as the village official in Huangliang Village.
Huangliang Village is a well-known medicinal herb planting base in Jiangnan Prefecture.
This year should have been a bountiful harvest, but unfortunately, it was hit by a flood. Continuous torrential rain destroyed many medicinal plants.
The farmers can be said to have nothing to harvest.
Even eating has become difficult.
I hope everyone, considering our classmateship, can donate whatever little they can; of course, this is not mandatory.
We shouldn’t morally coerce others after all.
I’ve really run out of options and that’s why I thought of you all."
"Heh, if you want money just say it. Why make it sound so noble?"
Tan Ting said disdainfully, "Are you borrowing or just outright asking?"
"Borrowing. I can even write IOUs, and as soon as I earn the money, I will pay it back to everyone!"
Jiang He replied.
The name Jiang He inevitably reminded Xiao Chen of Jiang He. It phonetically matched his father-in-law’s name, invoking a certain familiarity.
More importantly, if what Jiang He said was true, and Huangliang Village was indeed hit by disaster, he was indeed planning to donate some money.
After all, he wasn’t short of money and didn’t mind doing a good deed.
"Alright, I have ten thousand here. I won’t charge you too much interest, just 10% per annum.
If you want it, take it. If not, forget it," Tan Ting said.
"I want it!"
Jiang He bit his lip. Although the interest was much higher than that charged by banks, he couldn’t get a loan from a bank at the moment.
It was an emergency, and anyway, it was much better than those compounding interest loans.
"I’ll also lend you ten thousand. The interest will be the same as Tan Ting’s," Liao Mei said.
This was much more profitable than putting the money in the bank.
The others also lent various amounts of money, some as little as a few hundred, some as much as a few thousand.
In the end, they managed to gather over a hundred thousand, which was not bad at all.
Only Zhao Ya’nan and Jiang Meng had not given any money yet.
Zhao Ya’nan’s situation was very bad; even eating was a problem, so lending money was probably out of the question.
Therefore, everyone’s eyes turned to Jiang Meng.
"Never mind, I wasn’t able to help when Jiang Meng was seriously ill, so just let it go," Jiang He hastily said.
"How can that be okay? Didn’t you hear that Jiang Meng has started a company now?
She should have some money, right? Even if it’s not ten thousand, a thousand works too," Tan Ting laughingly said. "Look at that, she’s wearing clothes worth over a hundred thousand. I don’t know what she’s pretending to be.
Borrowed is borrowed, so funny."
Jiang Meng was angry in her heart and was about to take out money when Xiao Chen stopped her.
Xiao Chen looked at Tan Ting and said, "From the sound of it, you are quite wealthy, aren’t you?
Would you dare to make a bet?"
"What do you mean?" Tan Ting asked.
"Very simple. Since Huangliang Village needs money,
let’s bet who can give more money to help Jiang He.
The loser must give all their money to Jiang He, and it will be a donation. They cannot ask for repayment, let alone demand any interest."
Xiao Chen looked at Tan Ting with sharp light flashing in his eyes.
Jiang Meng’s temperament couldn’t handle such a malicious woman.
But he could.
"Bet with him!"
Bai Yu spoke up.
He couldn’t stand the sight of Xiao Chen gripping Jiang Meng’s wrist, nor could he tolerate her birdlike dependency by Xiao Chen’s side.
He was determined to teach Xiao Chen a lesson.
"Remember, no bouncing checks, it must be cash or a usable deposit!"
Xiao Chen reminded.
"No problem, you dare to compete with my family for wealth, you’re dead this time."
Bai Yu sneered and took out a black card, "This card is a World Unionpay black card from Linhai Bank.
Only those with a deposit of over ten million are eligible to own this card.
There’s still twelve million in it!
This is the latest inquiry message!"
Competing with him for wealth?
It’s simply courting death!
Although he was not the wealthiest in the provincial capital, to someone from a third-tier city like Linhai, he was considered extremely wealthy.
"Jiang Meng, it’s your turn!"
Tan Ting clutched Bai Yu’s hand, utterly smitten.
She thought Bai Yu was standing up for her honor, oblivious to the fact that Bai Yu was merely irked by Xiao Chen becoming Jiang Meng’s husband.
Xiao Chen smiled and threw out the gold card from Linhai Bank.
He didn’t bring the World Unionpay Diamond Card, fearing it might scare everyone off.
"You recognize this card, don’t you?"
Xiao Chen said with a smile, looking at Bai Yu.
"Impossible! How could you have such a card!"
After scrutinizing it for a while, Bai Yu’s face underwent a drastic change, "This is a special credit card from Linhai Bank.
In the whole Jiangnan Prefecture, no more than five people own it.
The overdraft limit alone is one hundred million, and a deposit of over five hundred million is necessary to qualify for this card."
"Good to know you recognize it. So, the winner and loser have been decided.
Your twelve million will all be donated to Huangliang Village.
Jiang He, you should be quick to thank Young Master Bai.
This is a great benefit for Huangliang Village."
Xiao Chen said sarcastically.
"You! How did you get this card? Is it stolen?"
Bai Yu, refusing to accept defeat, shouted.
"Heh, considering reneging on the bet now that you’ve lost, are you? Here’s my inquiry message.
You wouldn’t claim my phone is stolen too, would you?"
Xiao Chen said sardonically.
Bai Yu’s face changed shades.
Turning red and then green.
"Even if you want to backtrack on the deal, it doesn’t matter, since you are the young master of the Bai Family, no one would dare to do anything."
Xiao Chen said indifferently, "But if you don’t pay up, you should at least apologize.
And you!"
He looked coldly at Tan Ting.
This time, Tan Ting and Bai Yu truly lost all face.
"Hehe, it was just a joke, no need to take it seriously, right?"
Liao Mei came forward to mediate.
"A joke? I wasn’t joking with him! Whether he pays or not is his decision.
However, the headlines of the major media outlets tomorrow might be too much for Young Master Bai to endure," Xiao Chen said with a sneer.
"Jiang Meng, handle your man, he’s going too far!"
Tan Ting cried out.
"My man is doing just fine, on the contrary, your man, having lost, now wants to wriggle out of his bet.
If word gets out, Dongxiang Group’s reputation might not be intact, might it?"
Jiang Meng felt elated.
Even if Bai Yu didn’t pay up, she still found it incredibly satisfying, having not felt so happy in a long time.
"Jiang He, give me your bank account number, I’ll transfer the funds right away."
In the end, Bai Yu clenched his teeth and spoke.
He was not afraid of anyone, but he did fear public opinion.
If his actions caused losses for Dongxiang Group, it would be far more terrifying than losing twelve million.
This money could be considered charity.
Tomorrow, he would use the power of the media to his advantage, turning it into a good deed.
