Chapter 421 - 421 396 There Is a Way

421: Chapter 396: There Is a Way 421: Chapter 396: There Is a Way “Everybody, come on in!

It’s comfortable in here!

It’s comfortable in here!

Let’s rest here for today,” a young and strong beggar called out to his companions, and after getting some money, not only did he not leave, he actually started bringing more friends, completely taking over the liquor store.

At that, Lin Xiaoxiang didn’t know what to do.

With a bunch of beggars occuping the place, how could they shoot the music video?

“Yo!

Liu Hun!

Liu, the agent, aren’t you supposed to be all-capable?

Show me now what you can do about getting these people out,” Ma Lin provocatively said to Liu Hun.

“You insist on proving your stupidity; I’m truly at a loss for words,” Liu Hun said and immediately picked up the phone to call the police.

In three minutes, three police officers had arrived at the scene.

The lead officer asked Liu Hun, “Did you call the police?”

“Yes!

Hello, officer, I’m Liu Hun,” Liu Hun said to the officer.

“Hello, I’m Huang He.

Why did you call the police?” Huang He asked Liu Hun.

“A bunch of beggars who came from nowhere have barged into someone else’s liquor store and are occupying tables and chairs and refusing to leave,” Liu Hun said, gesturing towards the beggars in the liquor store.

Seeing the arrival of the police, several underlings behind Ma Lin suddenly became timid and said to Ma Lin, “Brother Lin, let’s just go.

No need to confront the police.”

“What’s there to be afraid of?!

With me here, even if the sky falls, it won’t be your problem,” Ma Lin said with great swagger to his underlings, and then he approached Huang He, “Officer Huang, these beggars are people too, and they should find a place to rest, right?”

“According to public security regulations, beggars should be taken to a shelter and then repatriated to their place of origin.

Thus, they should not be here, and furthermore, this liquor store has been leased by us.

We’re in the middle of shooting a music video, and their presence is disrupting our normal operations,” Liu Hun said to Ma Lin with reason and evidence.

Huang He seemed to look at Liu Hun with admiration and said, “The gentleman is correct.

You two, immediately bring all the beggars to the car and take them to the station for registration.”

“Yes!” The two officers saluted Huang He and prepared to act.

“Wait a minute!

Officer Huang, these people are not just any beggars, but actors I’ve hired,” Ma Lin stepped forward at this moment; he knew that if the police officers really took these temporary actors away, it would cause even more trouble.

“You hired temporary actors?

What do you mean?

Explain yourself clearly,” Huang He asked Ma Lin, finding the situation somewhat inexplicable.

Ma Lin chuckled and said, “If they can shoot a music video, can’t I have my own fun?

These ‘beggars’ are not real beggars, just temporary actors.

If Officer Huang doesn’t believe it, you can check their ID cards; they are all definitely locals.”

“Xiao Li, go check,” Huang He said to a police officer by his side.

“Yes!” Xiao Li replied and immediately went to do so.

Liu Hun, watching Ma Lin, said, “So you’re the leader of the beggars.”

“Liu Hun, don’t be cocky; I still have more tricks up my sleeve,” Ma Lin replied nonchalantly.

Soon, Xiao Li came back and said to Huang He, “Officer Huang, these people are indeed locals, and I just made a phone call to the station to check.

A few have legitimate jobs as well.”

“Officer Huang, now you believe it, right?

Since they are not beggars, there’s no need to send them to any shelters.

Honest residents should be able to rest wherever they want, shouldn’t they?” Ma Lin said to Huang He with a smug smile.

“Since they’re not real beggars, then they are beyond our jurisdiction,” Huang He decided, giving his conclusion and prepared to leave.

“Officer Huang, this place has been leased by us; at least currently, the right to use it belongs to us.

So, these impostor beggars are affecting our normal shooting.

I wonder if Officer Huang could intervene?” Liu Hun saw Huang He about to leave immediately and quickly spoke up to Huang He.

Huang He, recalling how Liu Hun was able to articulate the public security regulations so clearly and assuming he knew some law, immediately said to Liu Hun, “Do you have a lease agreement?”

Liu Hun promptly called over Lin Xiaoxiang, who showed the lease contract signed with the owner of the liquor store to Huang He.

“The lease is for one day, specifically today, so…” After looking over the contract, Huang He handed it back to Lin Xiaoxiang and then said to Ma Lin, “If these are people you’ve brought in, please have them leave immediately.”

“Liu Hun!

I’ve told you this was just the first course.

The real show is about to start,” Ma Lin said and then pulled out his phone to make a call.

Within ten minutes, a somewhat balding middle-aged man rushed over.

“Boss Xu, why are you here?” Lin Xiaoxiang immediately recognized the middle-aged, bald man as the owner of the liquor store, Xu Gao.

Xu Gao smiled at Lin Xiaoxiang but said nothing.

“Officer Huang, may I ask, if this liquor store were mine, could I let these people keep sitting inside?” Ma Lin asked Huang He quite arrogantly.

“If it were yours, you could do as you please, but it’s currently leased to this young lady, and she has the right to use it.

If you continue this way, you’re infringing on someone else’s rights, and I have the authority to detain you,” Huang He warned Ma Lin, clearly disliking such an arrogant young man.

“Hmph!

Officer Huang, don’t scare me.

I’m telling you seriously, Boss Xu is here because I brought him.

Now, I want to sign a transfer and sale contract in front of you, buy this liquor store, and then…” Ma Lin pointed at Liu Hun and the others as he spoke, “kick all of you out!”

“Boss Xu, how could you do this?!

Didn’t we have a rental agreement?

At least let us finish filming today.” Lin Xiaoxiang anxiously pleaded, seeing that the music video was only halfway done and that the director was still instructing Shi Qing’er; if Ma Lin bought the place, today’s music video would surely be doomed.

“Miss Lin, money is a powerful motivator.

There’s nothing I can do.

As for the leasing contract, consider this a breach on my part, and I’m willing to compensate for it,” Xu Gao said to Lin Xiaoxiang.

To him, the fee for one day’s rent was nothing compared to the transfer fee Ma Lin offered.

Huang He glanced disdainfully at the bald Boss Xu and then said to Liu Hun, “Sir, since the owner is willing to sell, we can’t do anything.”

“Thank you, Officer Huang, sorry for the trouble,” Liu Hun thanked Huang He and then watched the three of them leave.

“Liu Hun!

Now the officer is gone, and the shop is mine, what are you going to film?

What will you use to film?

How are you going to make Shi Qing’er famous?

You’re a jinx!

Daring to compete with me?!

I’ll crush you!” Ma Lin said fiercely to Liu Hun, then turned to Boss Xu and demanded, “Bring the transfer contract, I’ll sign.”

“Okay!

Okay!” Boss Xu happily took out the pre-drafted transfer agreement from his briefcase.

Ma Lin had asked him to prepare it minutes earlier to embarrass Liu Hun in public, to make him lose face thoroughly.

Lin Xiaoxiang was almost sweating in anxiety.

She couldn’t believe how quickly Boss Xu had turned his back on them, flipping sides faster than flipping a book, leaving her no choice but to look helplessly at Liu Hun.

But Liu Hun did not disappoint her and finally spoke up.

“Boss Xu!

Whatever transfer fee Ma Lin is giving you, I’ll double it!” Liu Hun blurted out decisively.

No sooner had these words reached Boss Xu’s ears than his hand reacted swiftly, snatching back the transfer contract he had offered to Ma Lin, and said to Liu Hun with a grin, “Sir, are you really willing to offer double?”

“Of course!

Name your price!” Liu Hun said while pulling out his checkbook.

“Liu Hun!” Ma Lin froze, glaring at Liu Hun, “Are you planning to enter into a bidding war with me?”

“My advice to you is, don’t act like a teenager.

Otherwise, you might get a spanking when you go home,” Liu Hun sarcastically told Ma Lin, not afraid of a financial competition at the moment.

“Liu Hun!

I’ll go all out against you!

Boss Xu!

I’ll double the original price and add fifty thousand on top!” Ma Lin told the bald Boss Xu.

“If you want to play, I’ll play all the way with you.

But that’s not thrilling enough, wait a moment!” Liu Hun said and picked up the phone to call a private bank.

Ever since he had issues with his bank account last time, Liu Hun had transferred his money to a private bank without withdrawal and deposit restrictions.

“Liu Hun?!

You need to borrow money so soon?

Is that all you’ve got?” Ma Lin looked down on Liu Hun and then told Boss Xu, “Just sell to me, Boss Xu.

Look, he’s already on the phone borrowing money.”

“Borrowed money is still money, I’ll wait a bit longer,” Boss Xu slickly smiled at Ma Lin.

Soon, a private armored cash transport van arrived at the scene, and a manager wearing gold-rimmed glasses stepped out to say to Liu Hun, “Mr.

Liu, as per your request, we have exchanged a portion of your deposit into cash.

Our bank will charge a 0.5% service fee on the amount you use today.”

“No problem!” Liu Hun nodded to the bank manager.

The manager signaled to two stern-looking security guards who respectfully carried four boxes from the van and placed them in front of Liu Hun.

Liu Hun casually picked up one of the boxes and opened it with a “clack,” revealing neat stacks of hundred-yuan bills shining before everyone’s eyes.

The shock was immense.

“Let’s begin, Ma Lin!” Liu Hun nodded to Ma Lin, then turning to Boss Xu, said, “Pay attention, Boss Xu.

This is hard cash.

Whatever price he’s quoting you, make sure he can deliver.

You better be cautious.”

“Liu Hun!

Don’t stir up trouble here!

I’ve got plenty of money!” Ma Lin hadn’t expected Liu Hun to pull such a move.

The bald Boss Xu’s eyes rolled shrewdly as he told Ma Lin with a smile, “Young Master Ma, I still prefer cash.

What do you think?”

Ma Lin pointed at Boss Xu and nodded vigorously, “Alright!

Well done!

Cash it is!” After saying that, he immediately made a phone call to someone, and soon a Porsche arrived.

A man in a suit got out and brought four leather suitcases to Ma Lin.
