After a painful mental struggle, Wang Mudan, with a desperate mentality, gritted her teeth and told Zhang Muquan the whole experience of being cheated and explained the purpose of borrowing money. She looked at Zhang Muquan with full expectation, hoping that he could lend a helping hand to help her out of the current difficulties.
To her disappointment, Zhang Muquan didn't express his opinion immediately. He said thoughtfully, "Oh, I see. That's what's going on! This is not a small amount of money. Now that the goods have arrived in Country G, it's going to be difficult to recover them."
"Yes, I didn't expect Gao Huai to be so insidious and cunning. I believe Luo Yingtao is unaware of this fraud. She probably can't figure out such a complicated conspiracy. Besides, she doesn't understand English and foreign trade."
"Have you called the police?"
"I've called the police, but this letter of credit fraud case is too complicated. Complaining to Country G's Ministry of Commerce requires both money and a great deal of time and effort. Gao Huai is currently in Country G, so we can't arrest him, and we won't get the money anytime soon. I don't want the factory to close down, so I'd like to borrow some money to keep it running. I'll pay you back immediately if we win the lawsuit or if the company is profitable."
Faced with Wang Mudan's sincere request for money, Zhang Muquan never gave a direct answer. He looked at Wang Mudan with a sad face and asked, "Does Simingda know that you came to borrow money from me?"
"He's like a dead man now, drinking and smoking all day long. He doesn't care about the company or the children. He looks like he's completely broken. Don't worry, you'll laugh at me. I've asked several people to lend me money these days, but they all refused. I'm really desperate and I'm asking you for help. Don't worry, I'll write an IOU at the bank's highest interest rate and use our villa as collateral. How about that?"
Zhang Muquan is Wang Mudan's last hope. Although she knows that he is a good person and has always cared about her, this amount of money is not a small sum after all. Before he made a clear statement, she was very nervous. She had suffered too much contempt and cold treatment in the past few days, and she was not sure whether Zhang Muquan would agree to lend her the money.
What surprised her was that Zhang Muquan, who was always generous and magnanimous, remained silent in the face of her sincere request for money. He just shook his head in disbelief and said, "Isn't Simingda very smart? Why would he give Luo Yingtao the money?"
Wang Mudan said bitterly, "He's always been arrogant and conceited. He never listens to my advice and always insists on doing things his way. He's suffered enough these past two times. Last year, he was fined three million and jailed for six months, and now he's been scammed out of five million. All the hard work I've put in over a decade has been ruined at his hands."
