Lu Yuan was at a loss for words. After all, he was the one who had ousted someone else's boss, and then less than a day later, his subordinates rebelled and ousted him. No one would feel good about such a thing.
"Cough cough! Um, are you alright?" Lu Yuan gently kicked Zhu Pangzi, who was standing next to him.
The other person immediately shuddered as if electrocuted, then stared intently at Lu Yuan with a look of hatred in their eyes.
"It's all your fault! It must have been you and Daozi who conspired on this! I should have known better, I should have killed you a long time ago! Now I have nothing left! Are you happy? Are you satisfied? Don't you want to laugh right now?" Fatty Zhu shouted hysterically, completely disregarding his current predicament.
Lu Yuan felt a pang of pity upon seeing the other man's state, but it vanished in an instant. His own situation was not much better than the other man's, so why should he pity him?
"Heh, so you're blaming me now? Fine! Since you don't appreciate my kindness, then don't blame me! You can leave now. As for the next transaction, I can go directly to Daozi. You're of no use to me now!" Lu L said coldly.
Upon hearing this, Fatty Zhu was stunned. He immediately knelt down and grabbed Lu Yuan's leg, pleading, "Brother Lu... no, no, no, Master Lu, please don't let me go! I can't leave! If I leave, Daozi will definitely send someone to kill me!"
"Heh! What does this have to do with me? This seems to be your business!" Lu Yuan gently kicked the other person aside.
Seeing Lu Yuan walking further and further away, Fatty Zhu's last lifeline was about to disappear. His mind raced, and just as Lu Yuan was about to vanish, Fatty Zhu quickly shouted.
"Brother Lu, I have money, I still have money! As long as you agree to let me be with you, all this money will be yours!"
Hearing this, Lu Yuan paused slightly. The current situation was that Daozi had directly seized Zhu Pangzi's power. If Zhu Pangzi were still alive, others would definitely come to kill him. Therefore, Zhu Pangzi was trying every means to go with Lu Yuan. After all, he had seen Lu Yuan's skills, and even Daozi was no match for him. However, if Lu Yuan really took Zhu Pangzi's money, Daozi's men might have some reservations. If things really reached an irreconcilable point, they might even kill him to get rid of Zhu Pangzi. Lu Yuan thought it wasn't worth it.
However, Lu Yuan desperately needs money right now. After all, if the factory and mine are to be started, Lu Yuan must get the funds as soon as possible. Otherwise, the longer things drag on, the more likely things will change. After all, the fewer people who know about this, the better. You can't hide the truth forever. Chen Kaiming's idea is to start the factory as soon as possible, so that by the time others realize what's going on, he will already be in a favorable position.
After pondering for a while, Lu Yuan turned around and glanced at Fatty Zhu.
"You mean you still have money? Fine, then tell me how much money you're willing to spend to buy your life?"
Upon hearing that there was hope, Fatty Zhu immediately said, "Brother Lu, I have as much as you need! At least over ten million! That's more than enough for you!"
"What? You have over ten million? Really? If you're lying to me about this, I'll hand you over to Daozi immediately. You should know exactly what will happen to you then! I don't need to say anything more, right?"
"Of course, of course, no need to say more. As long as you promise to take me to a safe place, all this money is yours!" Fatty Zhu quickly promised.
"Alright! In that case, I'll find you a safe place. As for where to send you, that's up to them. Anyway, I guarantee no one in Zone 5 can hurt you!"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Fatty Zhu was so grateful that he almost knelt down.
After exchanging grain with a poor family in the slum for some tattered clothes for Zhu Pangzi, Lu Yuan found Zhu Pangzi a temporary place to stay in a shack.
Fortunately, Fatty Zhu was extremely adaptable and did not show much aversion to the stinking shack area, probably due to his eagerness to survive.
After settling Zhu Pangzi in, Lu Yuan went directly to Chen Kaiming's residence.
When I saw Chen Kaiming again, there were a few new strands of white hair on his head, which showed that he had been very worried lately.
"Lu Yuan, has the payment arrived?" Chen Kaiming asked Lu Yuan directly as soon as he saw him. After all, his biggest worry right now was the funding issue. The mine needed money to start operations, and all his work was currently stuck on the funding problem. Lu Yuan hadn't contacted him during this time, which made Chen Kaiming think that Lu Yuan had encountered some difficulties, so he was also actively trying to find a solution to the funding problem.
However, since he stepped down from his position as minister, he had basically severed all his previous relationships. When he went to borrow money from his former subordinates, he encountered only a few situations: either they were short of money, or they had family matters that required money, or they simply refused to meet with him. This made Chen Kaiming completely give up on his plan to contact his former subordinates.
Lu Yuan nodded, then shook his head after thinking for a moment, which puzzled Chen Kaiming.
"Did you manage to get the money or not? What's with that nodding and shaking your head?"
So Lu Yuan spoke up, "Uncle Chen, this is what happened..."
Then Lu Yuan told him about Zhu Pangzi's situation and said that as long as Chen Kaiming could get Zhu Pangzi out of District 5, half of the 10 million yuan would be given to Chen Kaiming. After all, even brothers should keep clear accounts. It's not unreasonable for him to take 50% of the money since he holds Zhu Pangzi's life in his hands. As long as Chen Kaiming can get Zhu Pangzi out, taking half is not too little.
