Chapter 2568: Chapter 2345: Fooling the Japs (Part 4)

"All right, I’ll see just how capable you really are. If Chen Xinghai really knew someone as capable as you say you are, he would’ve made it big long ago." Song Shuyun locked horns with Song Xiaodong, the two of them starting to glare at each other.

After a moment, the phone Song Xiaodong had left on the table rang. It was a call from Kong Siman.

"Hello?"

"Family Head, I’ve checked. It’s Pengcheng Development Bank that’s lending to them." Kong Siman said.

"Lu Shilong, right? Don’t get the name wrong." Song Xiaodong said to Kong Siman.

"Can’t be wrong, Family Head. In all of Minghe there’s only this one Lu Shilong doing real estate." Kong Siman said.

"Good."

"Pengcheng Development Bank." Song Xiaodong silently mouthed the words to himself, the corners of his mouth uncontrollably lifting, a hard-to-suppress smile spreading across his face.

Song Xiaodong glanced over at Song Shuyun again and dialed Huang Qingyuan’s number.

"Manager Huang?"

"Wow, Mr. Song?" Huang Qingyuan was a bit surprised; he hadn’t expected a call from Song Xiaodong.

After he and his wife were fiercely schooled by Chu Xianling and Song Xiaodong last time at the barbecue, they both started acting a lot more low?key. And as his understanding of Minghe City deepened, Huang Qingyuan also got a much clearer picture of Song Xiaodong’s standing in Minghe, and his fear and respect for Xiaodong rose another level.

On top of that, Huang Qingyuan even developed a sort of admiration for Xiaodong, starting to genuinely respect the way he conducted himself. Clearly someone with major status in Minghe, yet when eating with Huang Qingyuan and his wife he’d never put on airs—low?profile, easygoing. It had a profound impact on Huang Qingyuan’s own way of dealing with people and how he thought about things.

"It’s me. I’m hoping you can help me out." Xiaodong said to Huang Qingyuan.

"Come on, Mr. Song, if you want to give instructions, just say it. Don’t call it asking for help." Huang Qingyuan said.

"All right then. What I’m about to ask you to do is no small matter." Xiaodong gave Huang Qingyuan a heads?up.

"Mr. Song, as long as it’s something I, as a branch manager, can get done, just say the word."

"Okay. Let me ask you, do you know this guy, Lu Shilong? Heard of him?" Xiaodong said.

"Sure, sure, of course I know him, the guy developing housing projects. He owes our bank quite a bit of money." Huang Qingyuan said.

"I want to bankrupt him." Xiaodong said.

Seeing how serious Xiaodong looked, Song Shuyun suddenly got a little nervous, wondering if she was really about to screw Lu Shilong over.

"Mr. Song, why do you want to bankrupt him out of the blue?" Huang Qingyuan asked.

"Personal grudge." Xiaodong lifted his eyelids and shot a glance at Song Shuyun as he finished.

Song Shuyun got even more nervous.

"Making him go bankrupt is easy enough, but once he’s bankrupt, what am I supposed to do with those bad debts?" Huang Qingyuan was a bit torn. After all, he was just a bank manager, and a bank manager’s job is counting money every day—other people’s money. He’s like a pass?through God of Wealth. He didn’t have that kind of authority; it wasn’t his money, and he didn’t dare make that call.

"Whatever amount goes bad, I’ll make you whole afterwards." Xiaodong said.

"All right then, with that promise from you, Mr. Song, I can relax. I can call him right now." Huang Qingyuan said.

"Call him now. And tell him I did this. Have him come to XX Restaurant to find me—I’m with Chen Xinghai." Xiaodong said.

Hearing that, Huang Qingyuan immediately understood. Chances were this Lu Shilong had accidentally offended Xiaodong. "Serves that unlucky bastard right." Ever since being chewed out by Xiaodong once, seeing Xiaodong lay into someone else now gave Huang Qingyuan a sudden surge of satisfaction.

"Chen Xinghai, X, X Restaurant, right?" Huang Qingyuan confirmed again.

Chapter 2348: The Wool Comes From the Sheep

"Right. Call him now." Xiaodong ordered Huang Qingyuan in a commanding tone.

"Okay."

After hanging up on Xiaodong, Huang Qingyuan immediately called Lu Shilong.

"Lu Shilong?"

"Well now, Manager Huang, to what do I owe the honor of your call?" In truth, Lu Shilong had absolutely no need to curry favor with Manager Huang. These days, debtors are the big shots; the bank has to treat Wu Shilong like an ancestor, otherwise if Lu Shilong ran off with the money, buyers who’d paid their down payment but couldn’t move into their apartments would start making trouble, and in the end the wool comes off the sheep—the bank would have to cough up the money.

That was exactly what was on Huang Qingyuan’s mind. That’s why when Xiaodong said he wanted to bankrupt Lu Shilong, he hesitated. But once Xiaodong said that no matter how much the bank had to cover, he’d pay, only then did Huang dare to boldly call Lu Shilong.

"You’re screwed." Huang Qingyuan said bluntly to Lu Shilong.

"Huh? Manager Huang, what’s that supposed to mean?" Lu Shilong didn’t get it.

"Did you piss someone off recently?" Huang asked.

"Piss someone off? We’re in business; what day do we not piss somebody off?" Lu Shilong said.

"People aren’t all the same. This time you’re unlucky. The loan application you submitted last time—our bank is refusing to process it." Huang said.

"What?" After leaving with Yuan Yuan, Lu Shilong had just dropped her off at home and was now driving back to his own place. Hearing what Huang said, he got so worked up he nearly ripped the steering wheel off.

"Manager Huang, let’s not joke around like that, okay? My heart’s not so good—if you scare me into a medical condition, what then?" Lu Shilong said.
