Pang Zhengming stopped when he swiped to a name.
Tan Qingqing!
yes!
He had helped this woman before, and she had always been grateful to him.
Moreover, the other party's career has been developing better and better in the past two years, and he is a big internet celebrity with tens of millions of fans. It shouldn't be difficult for him to come up with 50 million, right?
Thinking of this, Pang Zhengming quickly called Tan Qingqing.
At this moment, Tan Qingqing was still taking care of her younger sister in the ward. She was slightly taken aback when she received the call and went to the corridor to answer it.
"Hey, Brother Pang, what made you think of calling me?" Tan Qingqing asked with a smile.
There are two people she is most grateful to in this world.
One is Lin Yu, and the other is Pang Zhengming.
Lin Yu helped the sisters escape Li Zhiyuan's blacklist and even saved his own life at a crucial moment. His younger sister also needed Lin Yu's help to cure her illness. He can be considered her savior.
Pang Zhengming, on the other hand, was her benefactor.
Back then, when she was interviewing a wealthy man, she was photographed entering and leaving a club with him, and there were also photos of them swimming. These photos were widely publicized by a self-media outlet using advertorials, causing her to fall into a media storm.
It was Pang Zhengming who stepped in at the right time, using his connections to find the self-media outlet and negotiate with the people behind it through legal means. In the end, he spent a sum of money to quell the storm.
She almost went bankrupt because of this incident, but Pang Zhengming didn't charge her a single penny in legal fees. She was deeply moved.
At the time, her career was on the rise. If this matter had not been handled properly, her reputation would have plummeted, and she would not have achieved what she has today.
Therefore, in his career, Pang Zhengming had a life-saving grace towards him and was a benefactor.
At this moment, Pang Zhengming, this benefactor, immediately explained his situation, and finally, he directly stated that he wanted to borrow 50 million.
Upon hearing this number, Tan Qingqing frowned.
Fifty million is no small sum. Even after so many years of hard work, she has only managed to accumulate assets of twenty or thirty million.
"Qingqing, I'm really in a bind this time, otherwise I wouldn't have asked you for this. My property in Shanghai can sell for 20 to 30 million, and if you can scrape together another 20 to 30 million, that should be about right. Don't worry, I'll pay you back as soon as I get out of here! You know I'm a top lawyer, making money isn't difficult for me!" Pang Zhengming pleaded incessantly, while also assuring her.
Tan Qingqing pursed her lips tightly.
Twenty or thirty million yuan was practically all her assets; she had worked so hard for so many years and that was all she had saved. To give it all away like that—who wouldn't feel the pain?
However, when she thought about how Pang Zhengming had helped her without asking for anything in return during her most difficult time, she remembered that he had helped her without expecting anything in return.
Now that others are facing the same situation, if we don't help them, would we even be human?
Thinking of this, she sighed and said, "Alright, Attorney Pang, but you have to give me some time, because my money is still in my investment and stock accounts, and I need to withdraw all the money. Please give me about an hour!"
"No problem!" Pang Zhengming was overjoyed and said excitedly, "Thank you, Qingqing. A friend in need is a friend indeed. I will remember your kindness and will definitely repay you in the future!"
Tan Qingqing smiled and said, "What's the big deal? You helped me a lot back then, Brother Pang. I'm just returning the favor!"
The two exchanged a few polite words and then hung up the phone.
Tan Qingqing immediately called her assistant and financial planner, asking them to withdraw the money from her account.
At that very moment, Lin Yu and Jiang Ruoyi arrived.
"Mr. Lin, Ms. Jiang, you've arrived!" Tan Qingqing hung up the phone and hurried over.
Lin Yu smiled and nodded, "I just happened to have some time today, so I came to give your sister acupuncture!"
"Really? That's wonderful! Mr. Lin, I'm counting on you to help my sister with her illness!!" Tan Qingqing was very excited. Her sister's illness had kept her on tenterhooks, and now that Mr. Lin was finally going to help, how could she not be excited?
However, Jiang Ruoyi hesitated for a moment before saying, "Teacher Tan, I just heard you on the phone saying you were going to mobilize all your funds. Are you planning to make any investments? If I may add something, in the current economic climate, if you're going to invest, I advise you to think twice. A friend of mine was persuaded to invest, and ended up putting all his money in and losing everything! I suggest you download an anti-fraud app before making a decision!"
Tan Qingqing was taken aback for a moment, then smiled wryly and said, "You've misunderstood. It's a friend of mine who broke someone's Yuan blue and white porcelain. He's been detained, and they'll only release him if he pays 50 million, so he came to me to borrow money!"
Lin Yu frowned and quickly asked, "Miss Tan, your friend's name isn't Pang Zhengming, is it?"
Tan Qingqing looked astonished. "Mr. Lin, how did you know?"
Lin Yu shook his head and recounted how Pang Zhengming became a cleaner.
Tan Qingqing was incredulous after hearing this; she hadn't expected it to be like this.
So it turns out that Pang Zhengming offended Mr. Lin?
Jiang Ruoyi said from the side, "Teacher Tan, this Pang Zhengming, the lawyer who defended Sun Xiaolei, is not a good person. You might as well not help him!"
Tan Qingqing pursed her lips and said, "I've heard about him being Sun Xiaolei's defense lawyer, but that's his job after all. It doesn't mean anything, does it? The most important thing is that he helped me when I was in my most difficult time. If I don't help him now, wouldn't I be ungrateful?"
Then she looked at Lin Yu apologetically, "Mr. Lin, you are my benefactor, but so is Pang Zhengming. I can't just stand by and do nothing because you have a grudge against him. You won't blame me, will you?"
