"Cough cough cough............."
Yu Zewei coughed lightly, then slowly put down the newspaper and cigar in his hand, and looked at Ye Chen and Zhu Yeqing.
"May I ask what business you two have with me?"
Although Yu Zewei knew perfectly well why Ye Chen and Zhu Yeqing, these two "Zhu family members," had come, he still had to pretend. Moreover, as a seasoned veteran, Yu Zewei had almost lost count of how many people from the Zhu family had come to collect debts so far.
Now the Zhu family has sent two younger members to collect their debt, hoping to get their money back? Ha! Dream on!
"It's nothing major, I just wanted to ask if Chairman Yu needs a loan..."
Ye Chen gave a calm reply.
Do you need to borrow money?
Isn't it about paying back the money?
Ye Chen's question left Yu Zewei and Zhu Yeqing completely bewildered; the script wasn't right.
Yu Zewei's mind raced, wondering if Ye Chen's question was a trap to lure him in. But after thinking for a long time, Yu Zewei couldn't find anything amiss, so he shook his head and replied:
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Ye, but I don't need to borrow any money. I have enough money to get by..."
Yu Zewei declined Ye Chen's offer.
That's enough. If that's enough, are you planning to stay deadbeat forever and not pay back the money?!
Zhu Yeqing was somewhat angry, but she held back. She wanted to see what Ye Chen planned to do. On the way, she and Ye Chen had agreed that this time she would cooperate with him.
"No.............No...............No...................I think Mr. Yu should consider my suggestion and lend him the money. Otherwise, if your company is on the verge of bankruptcy, you won't have the money to repay your debts."
Ye Chen offered Yu Zewei a "nuclear" suggestion.
After Ye Chen finished speaking, Yu Zewei immediately frowned.
"Sir, isn't what you're saying a bit too much? You're cursing my company to go bankrupt."
Yu Zewei reprimanded Ye Chen with a gloomy expression.
"To visit someone's home and then curse them to go bankrupt—that's not something a well-mannered guest would do..."
Yu Zewei spoke sarcastically to Ye Chen.
But before he could finish speaking, Ye Chen retorted.
"Some people haven't paid back money they owed for three years; let's not even talk about their manners anymore..."
"really.................."
The bamboo leaf viper next to him immediately chimed in.
Upon seeing this, Yu Zewei's face turned extremely ugly.
"You're here to collect debts, aren't you? To tell you the truth, I do have money, but I have other uses for it. I don't have the money to pay off my debts..."
Yu Zewei has completely abandoned all pretense of civility, acting like a dead pig that's not afraid of boiling water. He has money, but he won't give it to you; he certainly won't give you his life.
"Tell me, who's your backer? Let's have a chat with him..."
Ye Chen also made it clear.
Yu Zewei dares to owe money to the prestigious Zhu family and not pay it back. He must either be mentally unstable or have a powerful backer who is just as powerful as, or even more powerful than, the Zhu family, so he has nothing to fear.
If it's the former, then Yu Zewei must be out of his mind. How could the Zhu family have lent him money in the first place, and how could they have allowed him to not repay it for three years, letting him live a life of luxury in a villa and driving luxury cars without any repercussions?
Therefore, there is a 99% chance that Yu Zewei refused to repay the money because he had a powerful backer. The Zhu family did not want to completely break ties with him, which is why the money became a "bad debt".
"Since you've put it that way, I'll tell you without hesitation..."
At this point, Yu Zewei looked smug as he leaned back on the sofa and crossed his legs.
"My backer is named...................Guo..............Xing...............Ming............."
Yu Zewei slowly revealed who his backer was.
Guo Xingming?
There is no family with the surname Guo among the eight most powerful families in Beijing. Who is Guo Xingming?
Beside her, Zhu Yeqing, who had only been in the capital for two days, looked on with a puzzled expression. She didn't recognize him and had never even heard of him.
On the contrary, Ye Chen showed a playful expression. Although Ye Chen had been in Beijing for quite some time, coincidentally, he knew who this Guo Xingming was.
Do you really think Guo Xingming can guarantee you won't have to pay back the money?
Ye Chen countered with a question.
"That's natural..."
Yu Zewei nodded with absolute certainty. To put it simply, although his elder brother's own strength was not comparable to that of the Zhu family, his background was far from simple.
What might happen to the Zhu family if they say they owe hundreds of billions and don't pay it back?
But it's only a mere six billion yuan in debt. The Zhu family would never risk a falling out with his elder brother over such a small amount. Yu Zewei was absolutely certain of this, and the past three years had repeatedly proven his guess to be correct.
"In that case, how about we make a bet?"
Ye Chen asked with utter mystery.
"Let's make a bet. What kind of bet? You tell me."
Yu Zewei became somewhat interested.
"Here's what we'll do. Call your older brother and let me speak with him. If he still vouches for you after we talk, then this 6 billion debt will be wiped clean, and you won't have to pay it back. We'll leave the IOU here..."
Ye Chen answered.
ah? !
Hearing Ye Chen say this, Yu Zewei and Zhu Yeqing were both taken aback.
"Sure, no problem..."
Yu Zewei nodded immediately; it seemed he was destined not to have to repay the six billion.
"Wait a minute, I haven't finished yet. But if after we finish talking, your older brother doesn't dare to vouch for you anymore, then you won't just have to pay back the six billion, but double it, to a hundred and twenty billion!!!"
Ye Chen added.
If they lose, they'll have to pay back an extra six billion.
We won, and the six billion is wiped clean...................
Yu Zewei fell into deep thought; this temptation was extraordinary.
Beside her, Zhu Yeqing was somewhat worried about Ye Chen's actions, but she didn't say anything. She chose to believe that Ye Chen must have his reasons for doing so.
Since he couldn't get the money himself, and had invited Ye Chen, he naturally had to trust him.
Time ticked by, and after two or three minutes, Yu Zewei finally made a decision!
