When Wang Wei felt he had gathered enough emotion, he spoke again and asked...
"Brother Fox, do you think the two Professors Ding are important?"
"Of course they're important. They overcame countless difficulties to return and serve their country. Scientists with such lofty ideals are the pillars of China..."
The fox replied without hesitation, its tone filled with reverence…
"So, do you think their safety is important?"
Wang Wei continued to ask!
"Of course it's important. Even the United States has said that two professors are worth a division..."
Hu Li replied without hesitation!
"Then why don't you want to protect them? Don't you think that being a lowly security guard here is a waste of your youth and passion? Protecting the two professors would not only allow you to witness their contributions to the country, but also to support them silently from behind. What a noble cause that is! Why don't you want to do it?"
Wang Wei finally revealed his true colors, but Hu Li fell into deep thought…
"Brother Fox, how much salary do you earn in a month?"
Hu Li had seen Wang Wei allocate billions to support research projects, and he felt a little embarrassed to mention his own meager salary. However, he still said somewhat awkwardly...
"It only makes around ten thousand yuan a month..."
"How about this? I'll give you 200,000 a month to help me protect my godfather's safety. If your brother is willing to come, I'll give him 20 times that salary. What do you think?"
Hearing Wang Wei's words, Hu Li gasped. This was outrageously extravagant! Even mercenaries who risked their lives in gunfire every day could hardly earn 200,000 a month…
But that would mean risking one's life for money. He was simply protecting a researcher who was already under special national protection in the safest country…
"This...this isn't right..."
Hu Li was a little embarrassed. He was earning in a month what he used to take almost two years to earn—something he never even dared to dream of…
“Brother Fox, I know what you value isn’t the money, but the belief in sacrificing your life for your country. I’m not giving you this much salary to sway you with money; I just want every patriotic soldier to realize their value while upholding their beliefs. This money is to express my respect…”
Wang Wei's words were powerful and resonant, stirring Hu Li's blood. Hu Li spoke with unwavering conviction.
“You’re right. Professor Ding’s safety is paramount. You don’t need to pay me; I’m willing to bring my brothers to provide protection for the two professors free of charge…”
Hu Li's words made Wang Wei's gaze shift slightly, but he concealed it well; he was too embarrassed to keep lying to Hu Li like that...
Hu Li clearly didn't want money to tarnish his principles and beliefs; he held a sacred and inviolable conviction within him, a monument to his beliefs...
"Brother Fox, I understand your resolve, but you still have family to protect. The money I'm offering isn't much, but it's the only thing I can do for you. I hope you and your brothers won't refuse my kindness..."
Wang Wei insisted!
“Brother Wang Wei, we are willing to give everything for our beliefs, we absolutely cannot accept this money…”
Hu Li also firmly refused!
"Brother Fox, I know this commitment is sacred and inviolable, but you don't need it for yourself. You also need to think about your brothers. Everyone has a family, and we can't always give selflessly. If everyone did this, it would scare away even more people who would otherwise be willing to give..."
You're not taking this money because you want it, but to tell those who were originally going to give that giving will be rewarded, and that this will encourage more people to contribute to the rise of China…”
Hu Li was finally convinced by Wang Wei's words, and he nodded and said
“You’re right, but I will donate the money I earn to those who need help more…”
Hu Li had even already decided who he would donate his salary to…
"Well, since Brother Fox is willing to help, I'll wait for your good news..."
"Brother Wang, don't worry. After the banquet, I'll discuss it with my brothers. Once I've finished some handover work, I'll come to find you at Hanhai University in the capital..."
Hu Li said firmly, his eyes flashing with determination…
The main business of the banquet had been discussed, and it ended hastily due to the actions of the Japanese assassins. Since Wang Wei had previously snatched six projects, the remaining four projects quickly found investors. To Wang Wei's surprise, Li Baichuan had also raised funds for one of the projects...
Just after the banquet ended, Li Baichuan found Wang Wei and immediately began to speak very politely.
"Wang Wei, there was some misunderstanding before, and it was all my fault. To express my apology, I've upgraded you to a Black Gold Card..."
Everyone was shocked upon hearing about the black gold card, but Wang Wei was somewhat bewildered, wondering what it was for…
Seeing Wang Wei's expression, Li Baichuan knew that this poor loser didn't know what a black gold card meant. This wasn't entirely Wang Wei's fault; after all, given his previous wealth, he couldn't even afford a gold card, let alone a black gold card, which was several levels higher…
"This card not only offers a credit limit of hundreds of millions, but also provides access to top-tier VIP services at our bank. Most importantly, this card represents status and prestige; having it automatically grants you VIP access to many high-end venues..."
Listening to Li Baichuan's introduction, Wang Wei clicked his tongue, thinking to himself, "It's good to be rich; they get VIP service for everything they do..."
Wang Wei knew that Li Baichuan was trying to curry favor with him. After all, hundreds of billions of yuan were flowing through their bank, which greatly benefited their performance. If he were to offend Li Baichuan and lose such a large sum of money, not only would their performance suffer, but he, as the bank president, would also be held accountable, affecting his future career...
Having figured out the key point, Wang Wei took the black gold card from his hand and jokingly said...
"Could my black card account information have been accessed without my permission?"
"Don't worry, this will never happen again. It was my fault last time, and I sincerely apologize..."
Faced with Li Baichuan's apology and gesture of goodwill, Wang Wei still felt somewhat hesitant, but since the two didn't really have much animosity, he accepted the other's kindness...
After handing over the black gold card, Li Baichuan turned and left...
"This Bank Manager Li seems quite interesting..."
After watching him leave, Ding Zhong said that the other party had gained too many benefits from doing this. Not only had it eased the conflict with Wang Wei, but it had also won Ding Zhong and Ding Yao's favor. Furthermore, the other party had secured financing for the research project, which created a bond of mutual benefit between them...
