afternoon.

Here is the bank's loan manager.

He was leisurely drinking tea.

An employee next to him was also smiling and talking to him about Lu Zheng.

"Lu Zheng and his gang must be having a real headache right now. We've completely crushed them. Haha, it's really satisfying! We've made money and we don't have to be held back by Lu Zheng and his gang anymore."

Cooperating with Lu Zheng actually affected them in some ways.

Because Lu Zheng took out too many loans, a total of one billion yuan, he had actually bypassed their branch and had the provincial bank handle the loans directly. They were just passing through the process.

They didn't get a single penny of the profits.

Now that Zhou Heng has made a move, they can get the money directly without any loss to the province. They've simply switched the goods, and the higher-ups are unaware of it.

The same applies to going against the norm; they can still get a lot of benefits for free, which excites them.

At this point, they started secretly cursing Lu Zheng.

"That's right, hehe, that guy surnamed Lu is extremely arrogant. He deserves it. He wants to get away with it. Who's going to work for him for free?"

As they were talking, a bank employee hurriedly walked over from outside the door.

"Um?"

The manager glanced at him: "What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry? Were you chased by a wolf?"

He had finally gotten into a good mood, but this person's expression, like someone chasing him like a wolf, immediately made him unhappy.

The employee quickly said, "Manager, Lu Zheng has brought Ming Xiang here. He says... says..."

"Are you sick? You're stammering and can't you speak properly? If you can't speak properly, you don't need to work here anymore. Sign your resignation letter tomorrow and get out of here!"

"No, Manager, please don't be angry. They said they're here today to resolve this matter, and of course, they're also giving you face. If you disagree with them or anything goes wrong, you'll be fully responsible, and they'll only give you five minutes to consider."

Lu Zheng had calculated that if the bank manager knew they were coming, he would definitely make things difficult for them.

If it's a case of deliberately making things difficult, then you might not even see this guy today.

Therefore, when Lu Zheng sent someone to deliver the message, he instructed the person to repeat the exact words to the manager.

This manager will definitely be enraged.

This employee was hesitant to speak up because of this, which is why he came over and spoke so evasively.

Sure enough, the manager's face darkened considerably upon hearing this, and he asked the employee, "Did Lu Zheng really say that?"

"Manager, he's right at the door. Tell me, even if I had ten lives, would I dare to embellish this story?"

Bang!

The manager slammed his hand on the table.

The employee who was speaking immediately shut up.

"Damn, how arrogant! Hah, he's really giving Lu Zheng a hard time!"

The person who had just been sitting with him quickly said, "Manager, Lu Zheng is a smart man. I think he's using this as a provocation to get you to meet him. If you go out, wouldn't you be falling right into his trap?"

"What? What do you mean? You mean I should never see him again and have to suffer this humiliation?"

The employee next to him was just trying to please him, and the two of them were chatting and laughing. Who would have thought that he would turn on him so suddenly?

The employee quickly said, "No, manager, that's not what I meant."

"Oh, so what do you mean? You mean he's smarter than me?"

"Heh... I can tell from you guys that you're all up to no good. So what? Do I need you guys to come here and tell me what to do?"

He glared at the two of them, then got up and walked outside.

Today he refused to believe that Lu Zheng and Ming Xiang would give him a hard time.

He's the one who holds their lives in his hands, okay?

How dare you say such awful things! This isn't over until Lu Zheng and Ming Xiang have crawled out of this bank!

As soon as he stepped outside, he spotted Lu Zheng and Ming Xiang.

In his mind, the two of them should be extremely anxious, and even if they said those words to him, they should be running around like ants on a hot pan.

Unexpectedly, after he came out of the manager's office, he saw Lu Zheng and Ming Xiang sitting in the VIP waiting room, talking with smiles on their faces.

They were flirting and teasing each other as if they were completely unaffected.

Is that even possible?

Hmph! It must be for his benefit! Absolutely.

Thinking of this, his eyes immediately regained their focus.

They're just putting on an act in front of him; let's see if he doesn't expose them and make them look bad.

So he deliberately coughed and cleared his throat.

His cough was meant for Lu Zheng and Ming Xiang to hear.

He figured that once the two heard his cough, they would undoubtedly stand up and come over to him like lapdogs wagging their tails.

In any case, I will definitely try to please him, rather than provoke him.

But after he finished shouting, Lu Zheng just yawned, not paying any attention to the fact that he was standing behind him.

Lu Zheng glanced at him and continued chatting happily with Ming Xiang.

The guy's expression suddenly froze.

Wouldn't this embarrass him? What happened? Was it intentional?

"Mr. Lu, Ms. Ming, you were looking for me? I'm standing right in front of you, how come you can't see me? I heard from my men that what you two just said was quite serious, like you were trying to intimidate me or something? Oh dear, I was almost scared by you two."

Lu Zheng turned his head with a smile and said, "You don't seem scared at all, Manager Chen. Shall we talk? I think it won't do you any good if we don't talk about this."

"Haha? You're not complying with regulations, so we can't take action? Tsk tsk tsk, since when have customers become more powerful than our banks?"

How arrogant must one be to say such offensive things?

He's just a manager.

Furthermore, it's important to know that regardless of whether it's deposits or loans, people with such a large amount of money are considered VIP clients.

VIP clients often spend hundreds of millions or even billions, and some, like Lu Zheng, spend billions.

This would definitely be a huge money-making opportunity for the bank.

Even the bank manager would have to treat someone like that with respect.

The manager is acting this way, and the bank president hasn't shown up either. This is clearly a show of force to put Lu Zheng and his team in a bad way.

Lu Zheng grinned and said, "I don't know if it's powerful or not, or if it will affect the bank, but one thing is certain: if we take action, it will definitely have a big impact on Manager Chen."

"Oh my, you scared me! Quick, tell me how this will affect me, or you'll scare me to death! I'm really looking forward to it, you know? Don't disappoint me."
