Chapter 423 A Truckload of Banknotes

Qi Xu stood behind the door, watching the development of the situation calmly.

When she learned that the mother and daughter outside were simply asking for money, she called the bank president.

Then he pushed through the crowd, walked up to the mother and daughter who were kneeling on the ground making trouble, looked at them coldly, and spoke lightly.

"It's just money, how much do you want? Just name a number!"

Qi Xu's ostentatious appearance stunned the woman on the ground. She seemed not to understand.

He stopped crying instantly, stared with wide eyes and asked blankly.

"What did you say?"

Qi Xu's expression was calm, his tone was calm, and he slowly repeated the sentence. "I asked, how much do you want?"

After hearing Qi Xu's words, the woman's eyes became hot and she began to get excited.

"Really, how many do I want? All of them?"

Qi Xu nodded slightly and smiled. "Of course, as long as it's legal and reasonable, I will definitely give it according to the highest standards."

Just as the wavy girl was about to speak, the old woman next to her immediately glared at her fiercely.

Remind her not to be fooled.

This woman was quite clever. Seeing that Qi Xu was not a military leader, her expression changed instantly and she spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"Little girl, who are you? Why are you making sarcastic remarks here?"

"You're not married, so how can you understand how hard it is for us widows who have lost our husbands?"

"You're a rich man, living a life of luxury. Why do you have to make fun of us poor people?"

This scheming woman is not just scheming. As soon as she opens her mouth, she acts like a pitiful white lotus, using her tears to incite the masses' hatred of the rich.

After her gossip exaggerated the situation, the crowd immediately looked at Qi Xu with contempt and anger, thinking that Qi Xu was a troublemaker who loved to watch the fun and stir up trouble.

Qi Xu looked at Tian Youwei calmly and winked at him, and the other party immediately understood.

Loudly announce Qi Xu's identity.

"Everyone, this is our commander's wife. She is a very enthusiastic, kind, upright military wife who is willing to help the masses solve their problems."

"If you have any requests, you can report them to our chief's wife and she can make the decision for you."

This is the first time I've seen such a young wife of a leader. Logically, aren't leaders usually veteran cadres in their 50s or 60s? How could their wives be so young?

Looking at her delicate and tender appearance, she could be said to be the chief's daughter, or even his granddaughter.

Could it be that such a young and beautiful lady is the mistress kept by the leader?

Qi Xu knew that his age and appearance made him unconvincing, so he didn't bother to waste time explaining himself.

I saw her waving gently in the distance and making a gesture for her to come over.

A cash transport truck slowly drove over from a few dozen meters away and stopped at the gate of the military district.

Qi Xu clapped his hands twice again.

The security guard directly opened the door of the armored car, revealing the red banknotes neatly stacked in the car.

At least hundreds of millions.

A bank president in a suit and tie stepped forward and bowed slightly to Qi Xu.

"Ma'am, the cash you requested is here!"

Qi Xu nodded slightly and thanked him. "Thank you for your hard work, President Zheng."

That whole truck of cash shocked everyone.

It seems that this chief's wife not only has a noble status, but also has the financial power. It seems that she is not here to cause trouble, but to truly solve the problem.

As soon as the cart full of banknotes was opened, the attitude of the troublemaker mother and daughter changed immediately. The faces that had pretended to be weak and pitiful turned into humble and fawning ones.

"I'm sorry, Madam Commander. We were blind and offended you just now. Please don't blame us."

Qi Xu spoke in a particularly amiable manner with an elegant and generous smile.

"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? We are all military wives, we are all family members of the army, we should take care of each other and help each other."

"My leader has important military matters to attend to right now and can't leave. He specifically asked me to entertain you."

"Also, I heard that you were in urgent need of money. So I immediately asked me to withdraw money from my personal account and take care of your affairs first, so that you can rest assured."

"In the military, a wife is half a soldier. The higher-ups will never encroach on your interests or embezzle your pension."

"Sister-in-law, just tell me how much money you need. I'll get it for you right away."

Qi Xu's affectionate way of calling her "sister-in-law" coupled with her harmless smile and kind and generous demeanor immediately broke down the troublemaker's psychological defenses.

The money-hungry woman thought Qi Xu wanted to use money to settle the matter, so she took advantage of the pressure of public opinion and asked for an exorbitant amount of money.

"I want 50 million! My husband died for his country. You must give me financial compensation."

Fifty million is an astronomical figure. Even if a general dies in battle, he won't receive that much in pension.

But Qi Xu did not refute her. Instead, he agreed with her and expressed his agreement righteously.

"Sister-in-law, you are right. Martyrs are respectable, but their widows are even more pitiful. I understand your difficulties and express my deepest condolences to your husband."

"I think 50 million is not too much for the lives of the martyrs."

"Don't worry. The martyr's pension will be given to his family in full."

"However, the army has regulations that the pension for martyrs is paid according to their military rank. If they are officers, it will be higher. If they are soldiers, it may be a little lower."

"I wonder what your sister-in-law's husband's name is? Is he an officer or a soldier? What's his position? And what's your name?"

"I need to know your and your husband's identities before I can give you money. Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will definitely strive for the best interests for you."

"And it's not just the army. I'm personally willing to help my sister-in-law and give you some money to help you through your life difficulties."

Qi Xu's words were generous, beautiful, and especially reasonable, and instantly won a lot of goodwill.

Even the two idiots who were making trouble and asking for money thought she was an innocent, kind and gullible little silly girl.

Especially when she heard that 50 million was not a small amount, and that he was willing to give her another sum of money privately to settle the matter, she felt so happy, she was overjoyed.

I only regret that I wasn't more ruthless and extorted tens of millions more.

Under Qi Xu's considerate temptation, the woman finally decided to reveal her identity.

"Sister, my name is Gao Lili. My husband is a deputy battalion officer, his name is Mai Dong."

"I heard that he died in the line of duty five years ago. But I haven't received a penny of my husband's pension to this day. If I hadn't happened to see his tombstone at the Martyrs' Cemetery along the western border some time ago, I wouldn't have known he was dead."

"Back then, he said he was going on a business trip and asked me to wait for him at home. But I waited for five years and he didn't come back."

"Who would have thought that he is no longer in this world!"

"Oh my God, why are you doing this to me? My Mai Dong is still so young, only 31 years old, and he's already buried in the earth. How am I going to live in the future?"

Gao Lili cried as she spoke, and her grief-stricken and heartbroken look was so pitiful.

Especially the miserable and sad tune, coupled with the shaky and almost fainting posture, moved everyone present to tears.
