Chapter 68 Are you possessed by an evil spirit?
David returned to his hotel after leaving the horse farm. He had come to China to investigate the market and would be staying for about a month.
Xibei contacted David and arranged to meet him at the hotel's Chinese restaurant.
David did not refuse at all, and when he saw Xie Nanzhi again, the admiration in his eyes was undisguised.
“Oh, Nanzhi, you are injured right now, I should be the one visiting you in the hospital.”
Xie Nanzhi's eyes lit up when she heard how David addressed her.
From "Miss Nan" to "Nan Zhi," it seems that David has truly accepted her from the bottom of his heart.
Xie Nanzhi smiled gently, yet with a sense of strength, "It is already a great honor for me that Mr. David is willing to see me."
"Nanzhi, you're too kind. Tell me, how much are you planning to borrow?"
Westerners prefer to get straight to the point and rarely engage in lengthy preambles before discussing the main issue.
Xie Nanzhi didn't waste any time. She showed David the organized information and said, "Mr. David, I need 300 million RMB."
This time, David carefully reviewed the loan documents she had prepared, reading them from beginning to end. It took him a good ten minutes before he looked at Xie Nanzhi with a shocked expression.
"So you're Amanda! My wife loves your paintings. She would be so happy to see you here."
Xie Nanzhi provided all her fixed assets, both domestic and international, as well as her value as a renowned painter. Based on the assessment required by Morgan Bank, she should be able to secure a loan of around 250 million.
Xie Nanzhi humbly said, "If I have the opportunity to meet your wife again next time, I think we will hit it off immediately."
David's impression of Xie Nanzhi improved even more, and he immediately sent the information to the account manager in Country Y, asking him to conduct a background check and begin assessing the loan amount.
The three ate and chatted. Xie Nanzhi ordered local specialties from the port city. During their conversation, David felt as if he had known her for a long time.
David praised her horsemanship, saying she was the best horseman he had ever seen among women, and of course, among men as well.
David said, "If it weren't for the accident at the racecourse today, I would definitely have lost to you."
The accident at the horse farm today was caused by a sudden illness in the horse. The horse farm is fully responsible. When Xie Nanzhi was in the hospital, the staff of the horse farm contacted her and said they would cover all medical expenses, compensate for mental distress, and also give Xie Nanzhi a lifetime VIP card.
The horse farm management staff were friendly, and Xie Nanzhi had no intention of making things difficult for them, so the dispute was resolved peacefully over the phone.
Xie Nanzhi humbly said, "We have an old saying, 'favorable timing, advantageous location, and harmonious relationships.' To win, all three are indispensable. I happen to lack these conditions today, so Mr. David's victory is a victory, and that is a fact."
Xie Nanzhi was open and generous, and her composure and magnanimity made even David feel inferior.
He and Xie Nanzhi became close friends despite their age difference at the dinner table.
After a while, David suddenly asked, "Nanzhi, the man who saved you today is your boyfriend, right? You have good taste."
Xie Nanzhi paused, her hand holding the chopsticks faltering, a blush creeping onto her cheeks. "No, he's not my boyfriend. We're just ordinary friends."
As someone who's been there, David smiled and said, "I'm not wrong, he's interested in you. Maybe next time we meet, he'll be your boyfriend."
...
Finally, David saw them out.
Before parting, David said, "Nanzhi, although we are friends now, banks also have their own regulations. If the information you submit does not meet the loan standards, I cannot go against the bank's requirements. I hope you can understand."
"That's natural."
"However, I can help you shorten the process to the shortest possible time. I can give you a result by 5 p.m. tomorrow at the latest."
Xie Nanzhi was already very grateful. Morgan Bank's loan conditions were always stringent, but she was confident in the documents she had submitted.
The reason for the urgency is simply that they are afraid of running out of time.
After saying goodbye to David, Xibei took Xie Nanzhi back to the hospital.
She's a patient, after all; we can't let her cause any more trouble.
Xie Nanzhi sent a message to Wang Shufen, telling her that she would be away on a business trip for the next few days and asking Wang Shufen to take good care of herself.
Afterwards, she advised Xibei to go back and rest, saying that her injuries were not serious and that she could handle it on her own.
Xibei didn't stand on ceremony with her, giving her some instructions before leaving the hospital.
The next day at noon, Xie Nanzhi received a call from David informing her that the loan had been approved, but after evaluation, she could only receive 260 million yuan.
As for the remaining 40 million, it was much easier for Xie Nanzhi. She borrowed 20 million from her second and third senior brothers, paying interest according to the bank's rates. In just one day, she had raised 300 million.
On the other side, Pei Jingchuan learned of this news and sat in his office chair for a long time without saying a word until the cigarette butt burned his fingertips, at which point he came back to his senses.
Jiang Cheng looked at Pei Jingchuan's dark face and dared not speak.
After a long pause, Pei Jingchuan slowly stood up. His cold and stern features weren't as unpleasant as he had imagined. "I didn't expect that she could get a loan from Morgan Bank in such a short time. How many more surprises does she have that I don't know about?"
Pei Jingchuan was displeased, but also conflicted.
He was happy for Xie Nanzhi and proud that the woman was his wife.
Jiang Cheng asked cautiously, "President Pei, are we just going to let the matter at the dock go like this?"
President Pei would never act tough with his wife, but letting it go like that wouldn't be his style either.
Moreover, he knows best how important Dejia Wharf is to President Pei.
When this matter was mentioned, Pei Jingchuan frowned subconsciously and pondered for a while, "Tell the people over there not to deliver the previously ordered batch of goods for now, and wait for my news."
Jiang Cheng: "Yes, President Pei."
Xie Nanzhi successfully signed the dock contract. After getting into the car, she placed her hand on the steering wheel and unconsciously thought of someone.
Having owed someone three favors, it would indeed be unreasonable not to repay them.
Xie Nanzhi took out her phone and dialed Wei Chizheng's number. The phone rang continuously, but no one answered.
Never mind, he must be busy. Let's talk about it another time.
Xie Nanzhi was about to drive away when her phone suddenly rang just as she stepped on the gas.
She assumed it was Wei Chizheng calling back and answered without even looking at the caller ID, saying, "Mr. Wei."
The other person paused for a second, then retorted, "What Mr. Wei? Junior Sister, are you possessed?"
Xie Nanzhi quickly picked up her phone and glanced at the contact name. It turned out to be Guo Xun. A sense of disappointment flashed through her mind for no reason. "You're the one who's been possessed. Talk to me."
Guo Xun chuckled, "Junior sister, since I lent you 20 million, how about you come with me to an event tonight?"
"What kind of activity requires a female companion?"
"It's a charity auction held by a family with whom we have a long-standing friendship. My mom asked me to bid on some items for you and show my support."
