This woman asked him for money the moment she opened her mouth; she had never even asked him for money in her entire life, not even her own mother.
Not to mention the other Ning family members who regarded him as a down-on-his-luck individual.
Only Ning Yuan, with a clear conscience, asked him, this "poor bastard" from the Ning family, for money.
Ning Bing'an pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling utterly exasperated.
Ning Bing'an finally nodded: "Okay, here you go."
He thought for a moment, his tone tinged with helplessness: "I have 500,000 on hand. I'll give you a limit of 400,000, and I'll only keep 100,000 US dollars for clothing expenses."
Looking at Ning Yuan's disgusted expression, as if she were saying "You're so stingy."
Ning Bing'an's forehead vein throbbed, and he said irritably, "Don't look at me like that. If I don't keep any for myself, and then I end up not buying anything, how am I going to explain it to Dad and the others? They're not stupid!"
Ning Yuan reluctantly replied with an "Oh".
Fine, she'll squeeze whatever she can out of this guy; she's not going to be someone's "bridge" for nothing!
Besides, he used her as a cover for his arms smuggling; if something goes wrong, she'll be held responsible.
With $400,000 added to her own $500,000, she has $900,000, which is a considerable sum.
Let's leave it at that for now!
Ning Yuan made up her mind, immediately patted his shoulder, and smiled: "Brother Bing'an is a true friend! Let's go buy some things!"
After receiving the check, the two took a car straight to Prince's Building.
As soon as Ning Yuan entered the jewelry store, her eyes lit up, and she started browsing around.
She specifically chose those ridiculously large gold bracelets, gold pig pendants, phoenix crowns, and diamond rings... trying them on one by one.
She kept asking the sales clerk, "Does this hold its value? Won't it drop in price a lot as soon as it leaves the store? I'm buying a lot, are there any discounts?"
The way they were haggling over the price made them look more like wholesalers buying goods than wedding rings.
Ning Bing'an stood aside, watching her "stocking up" like this, and couldn't help but facepalm.
Women are all the same, just like Ning Manfei, they all simply love fancy clothes and jewelry.
Ning Yuan, a girl from the mainland, seems to have never received any aesthetic education.
The styles they chose all exuded a strong nouveau riche vibe, as if they wanted to have the words "I'm rich" engraved on their foreheads.
Ning Bing'an looked at the glittering gold items and gentlemanly refrained from saying anything.
I just watched silently as she carried large and small bags, swaggering around like a nouveau riche.
Ning Yuan didn't care what Ning Bing'an thought; she was having a blast buying things.
Spending money is easy, making money is hard! What woman doesn't love to shop?
More than a month later...
Ning Bing'an happened to see a batch of familiar jewelry in his fourth uncle's antique shop.
He froze, pointing at the gold pig plaque that weighed almost half a pound: "Fourth Uncle, these things... why do they look so familiar?"
Uncle Si stroked his beard smugly: "These are all new, high-quality goods. Your wife asked me to sell them. She has good taste; they are all classic models with high resale value."
Ning Bing'an: "..."
He finally realized that Ning Yuan wasn't a money-grubber at all; she was clearly a cunning businesswoman who would try to get something for nothing!
She used his money to acquire a batch of "liquid assets" that she could readily convert into cash!
Ning Bing'an was left speechless, both amused and exasperated, by Ning Yuan's "tricks".
Meanwhile, after Ning Yuan and Ning Bing'an quickly registered their marriage, the first batch of five million yuan in investment promised by her fourth uncle arrived in her account very soon.
Ning Yuan looked at the string of heart-pounding numbers in her account and finally felt relieved.
She immediately took action, dividing the huge sum of money, along with the funds she had painstakingly raised, into three separate groups—
They quickly replaced it with the most advanced imported equipment.
These devices are the cornerstone of her future business; we need to get them installed as soon as possible!
The money was deposited into the socialite club's account to prevent that bastard Zhou Yan from accusing her of "money laundering" and freezing or intercepting her funds!
For the other route, Ning Yuan chose the most primitive yet safest method – “human transport”.
She personally led her bodyguards and drove a portion of the cash directly back to the mainland.
Upon returning to the mainland, Ning Yuan was eager to go home and rushed back to Donghu Garden that very night.
"Grandpa Tang, Grandma Xia, I'm back!"
Ning Yuan's voice came in before she even entered the room.
Grandpa Tang and Grandma Xia were sitting at the table setting out bowls and chopsticks, which were covered with steaming hot food.
Grandma Xia smiled and pulled Ning Yuan to sit down: "Little girl, you're finally back! Come and eat!"
Ning Yuan took a deep breath, savoring the long-lost taste of home, and felt a warm glow in her heart: "Home-cooked meals are the best!"
The family sat together, eating and chatting in a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
The next morning, Ning Yuan appeared in Uncle Qiao's office looking refreshed.
As soon as Ning Yuan entered with her secretary, she greeted him, "Uncle Qiao, I've brought you some money!"
Mayor Qiao was engrossed in reading documents when he heard Ning Yuan's voice. He looked up, raised an eyebrow, and said, "You're such a whirlwind, still so energetic."
Ning Yuan said with a smile, "Of course, time waits for no one!"
When Mayor Qiao heard that she had actually left over 4 million RMB in cash at her home in Donghu, his jaw nearly dropped in astonishment.
"My little darling, you're too bold! Shenzhen is safer than Hong Kong, but it's not this safe!"
"Uncle Qiao, please don't get agitated. I've sent people to keep an eye on things!" Ning Yuan quickly reassured him.
In the 1980s, the large-scale gun confiscation campaign had not yet begun in mainland China; the crackdown on crime had just started.
The area is indeed not very safe; she herself has experienced it several times.
But her men are no pushovers; they're armed with weapons too. No worries!
Mayor Qiao was speechless. He immediately dialed the internal line: "Xiao Li, contact the People's Bank of China right away and have them suspend other business. There's a large sum of money to be deposited here soon."
After hanging up the phone, Mayor Qiao was still uneasy: "Xiao Ning, wait for me. I'll bring some people to your house right now so I can see the money being deposited into the bank with my own eyes before I feel at ease!"
Ning Yuan was both amused and exasperated: "Uncle Qiao, don't worry, it's really nothing..."
If I had known, she would have used a different method to get the money in; she shouldn't have used such a primitive method.
It's all Zhou Yan's fault, that bastard! He went crazy that day and scared her!
Mayor Qiao, accompanied by a squad of construction soldiers, first went back to Donghu Garden with Ning Yuan, and then a large group of people escorted a van full of money to the People's Bank of China.
These days, if you have 10,000 yuan in your account, you can be called a "ten-thousand-yuan household," and you must be an extraordinary person, let alone 4 million!
So when the governor of the People's Bank of China and his tellers saw the van full of cash, they couldn't help but be stunned.
The governor of the People's Bank of China was so excited that his hands were trembling. This was the largest personal cash deposit he had ever seen in his career!
It has to be a Hong Kong businessman! Amazing!
