Wanyuanbai was so confused by Ma Xuebin's scolding, "Xuebin, don't get angry first, what happened?"

"You introduce Ling Chuan. He is Mr. Shao's son-in-law. Don't you know that?"

"Mr. Shao? Which Mr. Shao?"

"How many people in the country have the last name Shao? The chairman of the Shaw Group!"

Wanyuanbai took a deep breath and said, "Is this true? Who told you that?"

Ma Xuebin was furious. "My immediate boss, David Shi, just called me to his office and told me to treat Ling Chuan well! No, Lao Wan, do you really not know or are you playing dumb?"

"Xuebin, this is too hurtful. If I knew he was the son-in-law of Mr. Shao of the Shaw Group, would I keep it to myself? What good would it do me?"

Ma Xuebin felt a little better when he learned that his old classmate was really unaware and was not deliberately trying to trick him.

"Didn't you say you have a good relationship with him and know him well?"

“Yes, he is a native of Jiang City. I know his family situation and interpersonal relationships very well. His wife used to be the adopted daughter of the Yun family.

I only knew that his mother-in-law was a rural woman from Anshi City, and now she runs a bamboo weaving factory in Anshi City. I had no idea that his father-in-law was so well-known. No wonder he didn’t want to work with me.”

"Old Wan, Old Wan, you really killed me this time..."

Upon learning that Ma Xuebin had accepted a bribe of 200,000 yuan from Ling Chuan, Wanyuanbai felt overwhelmed.

"Old Ma, listen to me. I know Ling Chuan and Shao Mo. They are not the kind of people who will not give up even if they are right. I will call Ling Chuan first to test his attitude. Then you can return the money and treat him to a good meal as an apology. This matter will basically be resolved."

"I hope so."

Otherwise, he will be Barbie Q! Although he had negotiated a deal with Ma Xuebin privately, Ma Xuebin had not yet given an exact signing time, so Ling Chuan could only continue to stay in the hotel and wait.

But his wait was not in vain. He studied in the hotel room in the morning and evening, and in the afternoon he went to wait opposite the store where he had bought the pager before, observing the business situation in the store while trying to see if he could find Jin Zhigang.

He had previously told the police that Jin Zhigang had a close relationship with the owner of this store, but for some reason, the police did not take any measures against the store owner.

Although he was not cheated, many people who had been waiting with him in front of the Motorola Building were cheated of large amounts of money.

For those people, that money was almost their life savings, and many even borrowed money, but ended up being cheated out of everything.

He felt very upset when he saw the victims kneeling in front of the Public Security Bureau gate and crying and begging the police to help them recover their losses.

If he had gone to the police station to report the case immediately after he noticed the problem that day, perhaps those people would not have been deceived, and Jin Zhigang and his gang would not have been able to escape.

“Beep beep.”

Just as Ling Chuan was holding a pen and paper, concentrating on recording the flow of customers in and out of the store, the pager in his pocket suddenly rang twice.

He took it out and looked at it, then stood up and went to the public telephone booth next to him to answer the call.

"Hello, is this Lingchuan?"

Hearing that it was Wanyuanbai's voice, Ling Chuan's tone unconsciously slowed down. Wanyuanbai's kindness in introducing him to Ma Xuebin regardless of past grudges was something he would always remember in his heart.

"Brother Wan, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Tsk, Lingchuan, you are a real person who never reveals your true identity. You are keeping it a secret really well."

"What's wrong, Brother Wan?"

Ling Chuan paused, his tone a little embarrassed, "Brother Wan, you know? I didn't mean to hide it from you, it's just that this matter can't be explained in a few words."

"Okay, I'm just asking casually. I want to know what kind of person you are. But I'm looking for you for another matter..."

Ling Chuan was also surprised to learn that Shao Lin had called the general manager of Motorola and asked him to take care of him.

"My old classmate was almost scared to death by your father-in-law's identity. Lingchuan, if you can give me some face, you can take the money back and let this matter go. Is that ok? Or, if you have any request, just let me know and I will definitely help you make it happen."

"Brother Wan, I don't have any other requests, but I need to discuss this with Momo first. In fact, it was Momo's idea to agree to pay 200,000 for the dealership quota."

Wanyuanbai also knew that Lingchuan was a henpecked husband, so he could only let Ma Xuebin wait for the time being.

Shao Mo is in military training in the army and it is usually difficult to contact her. Ling Chuan can only wait for his wife to contact him when she is free.

However, he first called Shao Lin in Beijing to express his gratitude.

Shao Lin didn't say anything, but just told him to be careful when he was outside.

The next day at noon, Shao Mo contacted Ling Chuan. After learning about this, she was not very surprised.

"Just listen to Captain Wan. As long as the goal is achieved, it's fine. With Dad's warning, Ma Xuebin won't dare to do anything to you in secret."

Ling Chuan hurriedly asked, "When I get the money, should I transfer it back to Aunt Lan?"

"No, you can keep it for now. Once the contract is signed, you can return to Beijing as soon as possible and look for a suitable store. If there is one, buy it directly and arrange for someone to start decorating it. We will try to open it next month."

"good."

That afternoon, Ma Xuebin transferred 200,000 yuan back to Lingchuan's account and also treated Lingchuan to a meal at the restaurant where Lingchuan had previously treated him.

During the meal, Ma Xuebin changed his arrogance from a few days ago. He not only took the initiative to serve Ling Chuan food and pour wine, but also sincerely apologized.

"Brother Ling, I was blind to the truth. Please don't hold it against me. I have uploaded your dealer information to the headquarters of Country M. Please wait for three days at most. Once the headquarters approves it, I will immediately notify you to come to the company to sign the contract."

Ling Chuan was not used to Ma Xuebin's hospitality, but he kept in mind what his wife said and knew not to embarrass his father-in-law Shao Lin, so his words and actions were not revealing.

"Thank you for your help, Manager Ma."

"Of course, of course, come on, let's drink."

While waiting for the signing, Ling Chuan went to wait opposite the store after lunch as usual.

That day, he had just found a good spot to squat when suddenly two middle-aged men with serious expressions blocked his way.

Before Ling Chuan could ask the other party's intention, one of the men took out a police ID from his pocket.

Upon learning that the two were police officers, Ling Chuan became nervous instinctively.

The two men took Lingchuan to a van not far away.

In addition to the two men, there were two young people, a man and a woman, in the car. After bringing Ling Chuan into the car, one of them was responsible for questioning him, while the other three continued to concentrate on surveillance.

"Ling Chuan, we have been observing you for a few days. You have been watching this store at this time every day for several days in a row. What do you want to do?"
