218: Chapter 218: Spare No Expense!

Get a Basket for the Brothers!

A word to the wise is sufficient!

Wu Jie’s kind reminder instantly put Bi on alert.

Liuli City’s infamous Evil Man, Xu Feng, was none other than the notorious Mad Xu.

If having a meal was just a facade, and the real intention was to “devour” someone, then Bai Fengling would truly be in danger.

Now, the two of them were restless.

After hastily eating a little, they quickly excused themselves and left.

“Such a damn buzzkill!”

Huang Siwei cursed outright.

He picked up his glass and, with an apologetic face, said to Wu Jie, “I’m sorry, Mr.

Wu, for the poor hospitality.

I’ll drink three cups as a penalty!”

After downing three cups in quick succession, Huang Siwei’s face flushed red as he laughed and said,

“From now on, whenever you need anything, brother, I’ll arrange it immediately, and I guarantee there won’t be any more hitches!”

Wu Jie smiled and said, “It’s fine, it’s just a meal.

Bai Fengling didn’t dare to offend Xu Feng, so her behavior is somewhat understandable!”

“If she’s safe and sound tonight, and can proceed with filming as usual, the film crew will start shooting according to the schedule—let’s not make a mountain out of a molehill over this!”

The director and the others immediately beamed with joy.

Wu Jie’s words were like a dose of reassurance for them since they were about to start filming and no one wanted to replace an actor—too much of a hassle.

“Alright, let’s call it a night.

Here’s to a smooth start and a blockbuster hit!”

Wu Jie raised his tea, toasting with everyone to wrap up the feast.

Coming out of the restaurant, Huang Siwei’s face was still flushed from the alcohol, but he was not staggering drunk.

“Mr.

Wu, it’s not even nine o’clock, are you sure you want to head home so early?

How about I set something up for you?”

Wu Jie smiled and said, “Forget it.

After a night out, do you think I’d still have the energy to deal with President Tang?

Come on, let’s get in the car!”

Saying that, he opened the door and took the driver’s seat in the van.

“Aiyo, look at me, I’ve had a drink and now I’m making Mr.

Wu drive himself.

If Wang sees this, he’s going to kill me!”

Wu Jie just smiled faintly, not bothering to respond.

Leaving the movie city, Wu Jie drove attentively, observing his surroundings.

The trees were lush, and the road was wide.

The suburbs were indeed pleasant, with light traffic and hardly any pedestrians.

However…

He encountered a traffic jam in front of the villa.

SUVs, vans, minibusses, refrigerated trucks…

All sorts of vehicles lined up in a long procession into the estate.

“What the hell is going on?” Wu Jie pulled over to the side to take a look.

The vehicles queued up to enter the yard were all heavy-loaded, with tires that looked relatively flat.

Moreover, there were many people scattered around the vehicles, each looking serious and vigilant.

Clearly, these vehicles were transporting something very extraordinary.

Huang Siwei, slightly tipsy, leaned over to take a closer look, squinting his eyes.

“Are they starting to transport the money now?”

Transporting money?

Wu Jie was startled and glanced over the long line of vehicles, quickly realizing what was happening.

More than sixty billion yuan, almost ninety tons in weight—it would indeed require many vehicles to transport.

Moreover, quite a few of the vehicles had out-of-town license plates.

This clearly indicated that Wang Taixiong had convinced everyone in advance.

Otherwise, how could they have managed to bring the cash so quickly?

“Damn, with so many vehicles, how long will it take to get inside?”

“Let’s leave the car here; I’ll accompany you to fetch your car!”

The two got out of the car and entered the compound without being stopped.

At that moment, the single gate of the villa was especially busy.

Unloading, inventorying, bookkeeping, moving…

Those big shots at today’s meeting, they sure scraped in a hefty sum of dirty money.

So much money, in bags, baskets, boxes, it’s like paper grass!

Bundles lifted out, to be cleared and recorded.

Wang Taixiong’s face glowed red, bursting with excitement.

“Moldy and smelly I can handle, but leave off the records those that are especially shredded to bits!”

“Once we’ve recorded a batch, move it out!”

“After they’re all inside, stack all the money properly; don’t you dare let it collapse!”

“Let’s all work hard, get it done early, and I’ll treat everyone to a late-night snack!”

…

Suddenly.

Wang Taixiong saw Wu Jie and his companion, immediately handed them the car keys and his phone.

“How come you’re back so soon?

Did you eat and drink well?”

Huang Siwei said with a bitter smile, “Brother Wang, Bai Fengling was supposed to join us for dinner, but Xu Feng snatched her up!”

“Really?” Wang Taixiong snorted coldly, “That’s why everyone at the meeting was in such a hurry to leave.

It must’ve been Mr.

Xu inviting the representatives of Tianyuan’s three major families to dinner, even bringing Bai Fengling along as company—that’s him putting gold on his own face!”

“Wealth, food, and fun will come around again; we don’t necessarily need Bai Fengling!” Wu Jie glanced around and smirked, “Tell me, Mr.

Wang, the money we’re moving in now, is it meant for that acquisition?”

“Exactly!”

Wang Taixiong laughed, “It doesn’t come from a clean source.

Without laundering, I wouldn’t dare deposit it in the bank.

This time, it’s perfect for the acquisition!”

Wu Jie, with a hangdog look, cursed, “They’re all musty and foul-smelling, do you take me for a junk dealer?”

“And you count them by the bundle, one hundred thousand a bundle, of course it’s fast!”

“But later on, I’ll still have to count them one by one with a money counter.

With all this mold and dampness, how many money counters is that going to burn out?”

“With too much of this unusable rotten money, you may not scrape together 6.7 billion!”

Wang Taixiong offered a cigarette and grinned, “You worry too much, Mr.

Wang.

I’ve already discussed with everyone even before you arrived at the venue.”

“It’s a rare opportunity to clear out the black money from everyone’s inventory, so a bit of loss is acceptable.

Laundering still costs a 20% fee, anyway.

That’s why everyone gave quite a bit extra!”

“I’ve made some estimates, and they’ll probably give you around seven billion.

Even accounting for the moldy, rotten, and damaged bills, coming up with 6.7 billion should be no problem, and you might end up making more than twenty million.”

As he spoke, Wang Taixiong gestured toward the villa’s entrance.

Immediately, a burly man came over with a basket of cash.

Wang Taixiong said with a smile, “One million in fresh notes weighs 23 pounds.

This basket of old cash is only two or three million.

Consider it your consolation for the dinner not going well—your late-night snack!”

Wu Jie paused briefly:

“Alright then!

Just try to move as fast as you can, aiming to get the acquisition negotiated by tomorrow morning and the equity transfer done by the afternoon!”

“Of course!

I’m more anxious about this than you are!”

Wang Taixiong patted Wu Jie on the shoulder and said with a grin to the man holding the cash, “Take it to Mr.

Wu’s car in the underground parking, put it in the trunk!”

Wu Jie gave a faint smile and walked a few steps forward, then suddenly turned back:

“Right, Wang, you’re in charge of getting the money to the group head office tomorrow, and buy at least fifty money counters.”

Wang Taixiong said with a wry smile, “Don’t worry, I’ll get you two or three hundred of them by tomorrow, the kind that can count one thousand five hundred bills a minute.

Rest assured, within just two or three hours, we’ll have the 6.7 billion counted!”

Pleased, Wu Jie nodded and followed the cash-carrying man to the underground parking.

Wang Taixiong, hands on hips, chuckled softly:

“What a greedy little miser!”

Huang Siwei said with a playful laugh, “I’m not afraid of a true villain, but of a hypocrite!

I find Mr.

Wu quite easy to serve, far better than Dou Cheng.”

“Besides, think about those e-commerce companies listing in the US, worth billions with little effort.

Our company has good assets and performance, yet it’s not even valued at a billion—it’s practically a steal!”

Wang Taixiong burst into laughter:

“That’s why when fortune smiles on you, it’s hard not to get rich!”

“Thinking about laundering even more money later, going public to rake in a fortune…

geez, I’m more thrilled than a groom on his wedding day!”

As they joked, more and more money was being moved into the villa.

What was an auditorium in the afternoon had gradually piled up into a mountain of cash.

Majestically splendid, yet it exuded a nauseating odor…
