Chapter 31 Something Better Than Money



Mr. Weng wrote his own name and mobile phone number.

After Li Cheng took the paper, he saw the name written on it was "Weng Xiaozhu". After reading it silently several times, Li Cheng smiled.

Weng Xiaozhu and Li Hui seemed to have expected Li Cheng to behave like this. When they saw him smile, they looked at each other as if they had telepathy.

Weng Xiaozhu smiled bitterly and shook her head, saying, "Alas! I knew it would be like this, so I rarely tell others my name."

Li Cheng said, "This name is very good. Lu You has a poem: Fang Weng builds a small house in the suburbs of the river. When the house breaks, I repair it with thatch. At dusk, I see white smoke across the water. At dawn, I hear the dew dripping on the treetops. I was born without the wine of the monkey. When I grow old, I will build a swallow's nest."

The most powerful part is the last sentence, "Pang Gong is a friend of a thousand years." Mr. Weng runs a teahouse and makes friends all over the world. I'm afraid what he hopes most is to make a friend like Pang Gong who can be a friend for a thousand years.

They both laughed, and Li Hui added, "Elegant, truly elegant. Now that you've said that, Mr. Weng can confidently talk about the origin of his name from now on."

Weng Xiaozhu also looked overjoyed. Then she shook her head and said, "Alas! My father saw this poem and thought the three characters Weng Xiaozhu sounded good, so he gave me this name. But he wouldn't explain it this way. By the way, you don't know what they called me when I was little, do you?"

Li Cheng and Li Hui both laughed but didn't say anything.

When Weng Xiaozhu saw them like this, she said shyly, "I knew you could guess it."

Both of them laughed out loud.

After drinking a few more cups of tea, Li Hui took Li Cheng out of the teahouse.

On the way back, Li Hui said, "You can go to the teahouse often. The people who go there are either businessmen or officials. Although it's a place for drinking tea and playing mahjong, a few cups of tea and a few rounds of mahjong can accomplish a lot. You're so smart, I don't need to explain these things, you will understand naturally."

Li Cheng looked out the window and thought, how could I not understand? This kind of socializing in a teahouse is actually a deeper level of socializing at a dinner party.

"Also, you can use my room in the teahouse. I've already made arrangements with Mr. Weng."

"Thank you, brother-in-law. I will come here often for tea in the future."

Li Hui, who was driving, smiled slightly after hearing this. Then, half-seriously and half-jokingly, he said, "Drinking tea, talking about business, playing mahjong, anything is fine, just don't think about anything else."

Li Cheng glanced at him and said, "Brother-in-law, what are you talking about? She's already middle-aged, what would I care about her?"

Li Hui turned a corner and said, "It's good that you don't have any thoughts about it. I saw you staring at her."

Li Cheng shook his head slightly and said, "Brother-in-law, you go to the teahouse to discuss business, but I go there to drink tea. Since we're drinking tea, it's natural to take a few more glances at a tea lady like Ms. Weng. However, even if I look at her, all I'm thinking about is the aroma and taste of tea."

Li Hui smiled and shook his head, saying, "Tea girl? How dare you say that."

Li Cheng turned to look at him and said, "What are you afraid to say?"

Li Hui just smiled and said nothing more. But Li Cheng knew in his heart that Weng Xiaozhu was definitely not just a tea girl.

But in Li Cheng's eyes, she was just a tea girl at this moment, a tea girl who was the most charming when making tea.

Watching a woman like this make tea is not only pleasing to the eyes, but also a spiritual enjoyment. Li Cheng decided to visit Weng Xiaozhu often when he had nothing to do, just to watch her make tea and not ask about anything else.

"Don't say anything more to your sister Yan here at the Tea House. You know the reason."

Li Cheng smiled and said, "Only men know men's secrets."

Li Hui also laughed and said, "Don't get the wrong idea, that's not what I meant."

Li Cheng said, "I understand, I understand. You're not afraid that Sister Yan will get suspicious."

Li Hui nodded and said, "Today I told her about your plan to start a computer business. It won't be long before she has the confidence to respond. You can handle it as you see fit. Also, I rejected Mr. Weng's investment offer because it was actually for your own good."

Li Cheng didn't understand what he meant, and thought to himself, I'm raising funds, wouldn't it be perfect if she invested in me?

Li Hui added, "There's no such thing as a free lunch, unless it's cooked by your own parents. Mr. Weng's funds aren't easy to use. If your business doesn't do well, you'll end up in big trouble."

Li Cheng understood that Li Hui was trying to instill a sense of risk in him. So, he said, "I'll figure out the funding myself. I won't use Mr. Weng's money."

Li Hui glanced at him and said, "What can you do? If you sell all your stocks, you'll only have 50,000 yuan. It's hard to do much with that little money, right?"

Li Cheng smiled and thought to himself, you only know that I only have 50,000 yuan in my hand, but you don’t know how many people owe me favors now, and how many people believe in me.

Sometimes, favors are more effective than money, and the trust of others is something that money cannot buy. Although, these people all believed their own words because they made money from stock trading.

"I'm asking you a question, why don't you answer it?"

“Brother-in-law, do you believe that I can raise funds?”

Li Hui smiled and said, "Oh, I forgot you work in a bank. I guess you can find a way to get a loan."

Upon hearing this, Li Cheng said, "Forget it. My Dapeng Computer Company is just an empty shell. It has no collateral, no credit, and is no different from a shell company. It doesn't meet the loan requirements at all."

Li Hui was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What are you going to do?"

Li Cheng saw the car in front of him suddenly turn on its brake lights, so he quickly shouted: "Brake, brake------"

Li Hui slammed on the brakes, and the Audi stopped behind the car in front with a sharp braking sound.

Li Hui glanced ahead, stuck out his tongue, and said, "That was a close call."

Li Cheng didn't care at all and said, "Although my company has no credit and no collateral, we have someone special in our company."

"That person is you, right? You are indeed quite special."

"Brother-in-law, didn't Sister Yan tell you? I'm a cute pet in our branch now."

"So what?"

As he spoke, Li Hui shifted gears and started the car, and the Audi drove forward briskly.

"That means they like me, trust me, and have complete faith in what I say. In other words, my credit at the branch is top-notch, even better than that of a five-star credit company."

Li Hui understood that Li Cheng wanted to raise funds.

"What conditions did you offer them?"

"Interest, high interest. Since they're all from the bank, they're naturally more interested in interest."

Li Hui asked, "How high?"

Li Cheng looked outside and said firmly, "It can be double the interest rate of deposits of the same period."

"Double?"

Li Hui laughed, thinking that Li Cheng was a little whimsical.
