Chapter 523 A Refined Young Lady from the Republican Era Gets the Male and Female Protagonists Killed (25)

Jin Shu took the check and glanced at it.

"What does Chairman Jiang mean by this? There seems to be an extra zero at the end."

The number was already large enough with the change in the first few digits, but this boss went further and added an extra zero at the end.

Jiang Beilou directly gave her 700,000 yuan instead of the original payment of 70,000 yuan.

What does 700,000 mean in today's BH City? Starting from here, counting from south to north, you can directly acquire the five most expensive stores in prime locations.

That's outrageous.

Jin Shu suspected that Jiang Beilou might have been written incorrectly.

Jiang Beilou capped his pen and shook his head with a smile.

"Part of it is payment for goods, and the rest is my investment in you."

"An investment of several hundred thousand?"

In these chaotic times, forget about investing; people are afraid their money will be swallowed up by the bank someday if they leave it in the bank. This wealthy and generous boss actually gave her such a huge investment. Anyone who heard that would think he was drunk.

"I admire your courage and vision. Take it, and pay me back when you make money."

Jiang Beilou is a rational, cautious, and ruthless businessman.

He would never be so extravagant as to spend lavishly just because of romantic feelings.

If he were to give Jin Shu an extra 30,000 to 50,000, people might suspect his intentions.

But this time he gave an extra 600,000 yuan. This made people dare not think of anything else.

Jin Shu looked at the check in her hand, then pushed it back.

"I'm sorry, the Jin family can't absorb such a large investment. Thank you for your kindness, Chairman Jiang. Please give me the payment for the goods separately. As for the investment, the vice chairman has already given more than enough."

Anyone would be tempted by so much money.

But once she accepts this money, the real boss of the entire Jin Group will no longer be Jin Shu, but the business tycoon in front of her who is used to weighing the pros and cons and making strategic plans.

His money wasn't given away for nothing.

Jin Shu needs money, but she cannot hand over the real management of the Jin family business to someone else.

Her casual apology almost made Zhang Jisheng, who was standing next to her, stand up and speak in a panic.

Although he tried to hold back, his eyes couldn't help but keep glancing at the check on the table.

Seven hundred thousand—wealth he could never hope to ever have in his lifetime.

The item was placed right in front of Jin Shu, ready for her to take, but she casually pushed it away.

What Zhang Jisheng found even more incomprehensible than Jiangbeilou's ability to attract so much investment was that Jin Shu actually refused!

Sitting here at this moment, looking at Jin Shu in front of him, his understanding of her was once again refreshed.

Finally, Jiang Beilou leaned back on the sofa, a slight smile playing on his lips, and then gave a helpless laugh.

"I'm sorry to have put you in a difficult position. Okay, I'll send someone to deliver the payment to you in a few days."

Jin Shu said thank you, took a sip of tea, and slowly stood up.

"Then I won't bother you any longer."

"I'll send a car to take you back."

"No need, I live not far from here, and I'll just walk back for a stroll since I have nothing else to do."

BH City is so big and so prosperous, but she has lived here for five years and has never had a proper chance to explore it.

Zhang Jisheng then got up.

"Then I'll take my leave. President Jiang, please take care of yourself."

"Yes, it's Commander Liu's birthday in a few days. Please tell him that I will be going to Suzhou on a business trip in a few days and will not be able to go on time. Please understand, Commander Liu."

Zhang Jisheng nodded, turned around and left somewhat anxiously, catching up with Jin Shu.

Only after they reached the bottom of the stairs did Zhang Jisheng take the initiative to walk to Jin Shu's side.

"Let me take you home. My car is parked right outside."

Jin Shu didn't even glance at him, and slowly walked forward, carrying her bag and keeping a straight posture.

"Thank you for your kindness, Major General Zhang, but no need. I've already explained the reason."

“You didn’t want to bother Chairman Jiang just now, but there’s no need for you and me to be so distant.”

Upon hearing this, Jin Shu almost couldn't help but laugh.

"I remember Major General Zhang saying before that we should just treat each other as strangers. Why is he saying such contradictory things now?"

Jin Shu showed him no respect whatsoever, which made Zhang Jisheng's expression somewhat awkward.

"This is what I've been wanting to tell you all day. I used to be in the military for many years, and I was surrounded by a bunch of rough men. Over time, my speech and actions became a bit stiff and crude."

So I've been wanting to apologize to you for the past few days. I was too harsh with my words before, and I hope you can accept my apology.

Jin Shu nodded.

"Well, I'll accept your apology if you return all the money I've spent on your family over the years, and then I'll forgive you."

"..."

One sentence sealed off everything Zhang Jisheng wanted to say next.

Jin Shu raised an eyebrow, her smile radiant.

"We are no longer husband and wife, so it's better to maintain the necessary distance."

Furthermore, I trust Major General Zhang's character; he certainly wouldn't withhold the money I spent, would he?

The woman looked directly at him, her arched eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes incredibly lively, far more beautiful than any celebrity in a magazine.

Zhang Jisheng, his whole body tense, nodded as if possessed.

"Of course, I will definitely pay you back."

“Let’s set a time limit. We’ve been husband and wife, so I won’t pressure you. I’ve spent about 10,000 yuan on your family over the years. I’ll give you time to go back and prepare. We’ll meet at the city library entrance at 10 a.m., a week from now, which is Wednesday.”

Jin Shu completely shut him up, leaving him unable to utter a single word. She even thoughtfully gave him a week to prepare, so what could Zhang Jisheng possibly say?

As a respectable person, someone who has always valued his reputation, a man of integrity, and a soldier with outstanding military achievements, he simply cannot utter anything other than "agree" at this moment.

"good."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

I'm waiting for you.

The simple three words, coupled with that radiant face, made Zhang Jisheng feel hot and flushed all over again.

He only gradually calmed down after Jin Shu had walked away.

Oh no! He actually agreed to pay me back!

Ten thousand yuan!

Over the years, he had only saved a little over 10,000 yuan, and now he was going to return 10,000 yuan to Jin Shu directly!

After a moment's hesitation, he calmed down.

So what if it's ten thousand? He's the youngest and most promising major general in the Northern Warlords, and the person Liu trusted most. Ten thousand is nothing once they completely occupy BH City.

Jiang Beilou is only able to spend money like water and write checks for 700,000 yuan at will because he acts like a tyrant in BH City!

Besides, Jin Shu wasn't a greedy person. She even refused the 700,000 yuan Jiang Beilou offered, but she took the initiative to ask him for money.

What does this tell us?

This shows that Jin Shu still considers him one of her own people and her closest partner from the bottom of her heart.

Yes, that's it.

After all, that's 700,000, and she refused it without even blinking.
