Zhang Jinliang had not expected Xiao Weiguo to be so agreeable.
His expression froze for a moment.
"Brother Xiao, you are indeed a straightforward person. Then I will speak frankly."
Without any hesitation, he stretched out a finger.
"Ten thousand?"
Xiao Weiguo frowned and asked.
"Haha, ten thousand is hardly worthy of Brother Xiao's status. I mean one hundred thousand."
Zhang Jinliang chuckled and quoted his price without hesitation.
Xiao Weiguo sneered inwardly; this guy's appetite was indeed enormous.
One hundred thousand yuan may not seem like much to him, but in an era when even households with ten thousand yuan are rare, it would be an astronomical sum for ordinary people.
Before Xiao Weiguo could speak, Zhang Jinliang's daughter, Zhang Huihui, became anxious.
"dad."
She shouted angrily.
"Who can come up with 100,000 yuan? Xiao Jian is my friend, can't you just let him go?"
Zhang Jinliang glared at his daughter, ignored her, and continued to look at Xiao Weiguo.
Xiao Weiguo saw everything and reaffirmed Zhang Huihui's character.
But, girl, do you know that it was precisely because of your good relationship with Xiao Jian that he was harmed?
But Zhang Huihui can't be blamed for this; after all, she meant well and had helped Xiao Jian a lot over the years. Xiao Weiguo wouldn't have a bad opinion of her because of this.
To observe a person's character, one must start by observing their motivations.
From beginning to end, Zhang Huihui's motivation stemmed from her kindness; she simply couldn't understand why her father did what he did.
"One hundred thousand, Director Zhang has quite the appetite. But it's nothing, he's my brother, Xiao Weiguo's brother, he's worth that much."
At this critical juncture, Xiao Weiguo was too lazy to argue with him about money. Ten thousand yuan was really nothing to him now. The most important thing right now was to rescue Xiao Jian. As for Zhang Jinliang, once they got past this hurdle, Xiao Weiguo had a thousand ways to deal with him. This ten thousand yuan wasn't something he could just swallow so easily.
He can donate money to the poor and to various government agencies in need, but he won't feed money to wolves, especially a wolf that bit his own brother.
"Give me your account number, and I'll call you right away."
"happy."
Zhang Jinliang gave him a thumbs up, then took out a piece of paper and wrote down his phone number on it.
"Can I borrow your phone?"
Xiao Weiguo picked up the phone on his desk and dialed the number for the finance department of Panlong Group.
The call was answered quickly.
"Hello, this is Xiao Weiguo. Now, immediately, transfer 100,000 yuan into this account. The account number is XXXXXXXXXXXXX."
"Okay, Mr. Xiao, the money will be in your account in half an hour at the latest."
The finance staff member who received the call, upon hearing Xiao Weiguo's voice, didn't dare to delay for a moment and immediately went to the bank to begin the transfer procedures.
Xiao Weiguo put down the phone, sat back in his seat, and gave Zhang Jinliang a cold look.
"Go to the bank to check your account in half an hour."
This move left Gao Hu and Zhang Huihui speechless.
Who is Xiao Jian's older brother?
Ten thousand yuan, so much money, you can just turn it over in the blink of an eye?
With such an elder brother, why does Xiao Jian still have to suffer like this? He can eat his fill every day.
Sitting opposite him, Zhang Jinliang cursed himself for being too soft-hearted. He should have asked for more money if he had known this guy was so rich.
But the words had already been spoken, and to go back on one's word would be truly despicable. Even someone as shameless as Zhang Jinliang wouldn't dare to raise the price again.
Well, 100,000 it is, it's not a small amount. After this, Xiao Jian definitely won't stay here. I've achieved my goal and even made 100,000 for free. This deal was totally worth it.
Zhang Jinliang secretly applauded his own actions, but he had no idea that a fierce storm awaited him after today.
The office was quiet; no one spoke.
Half an hour finally passed, and Zhang Jinliang took Xiao Wei to the bank. Now that Zhang Huihui and Gao Hu were no longer needed, they went back on their own.
After checking at the bank counter, Zhang Jinliang was overjoyed to find that 100,000 yuan had indeed been deposited into his account.
"Brother Xiao, you truly keep your word."
Xiao Weiguo snorted, offering his praise without taking it seriously.
"I've received the money. Director Zhang, please give me a receipt so I don't have trouble getting reimbursed when I get back."
Zhang Jinliang thought about it and felt there was nothing wrong with it, so he casually wrote a receipt for Xiao Wei at the bank counter.
receipt
I have received a transfer of RMB 100,000 from Comrade Xiao Weiguo. This serves as proof.
Recipient: Zhang Jinliang.
Then he pressed his handprint on it.
Xiao Weiguo took it, glanced at it, folded it, and put it in his pocket.
They both knew what to do next.
Xiao Jian is still at the police station. Judging by the time, it's been more than two hours. Jiao Bai should be back by now.
The two arrived at the police station together and, sure enough, saw Jiao Bai, Hu Haibo, and Liu Qing in the distance, who had just gotten out of the car. Their timing was perfect.
Xiao Weiguo went up and shook hands with Hu Haibo.
"Captain Hu, thank you for your help."
Hu Haibo repeatedly said he was too kind.
Xiao Weiguo now is not the same Xiao Weiguo as he was a year ago. Back then, he was just a second-rate, ordinary farmer.
Xiao Weiguo is now worth over 100 million yuan, and everyone in Shang County knows his name.
