If it weren't for the old lady and the relationship between her mother-in-law and Han Dongsheng, Lu Wanqing wouldn't have bothered going to the Han family, let alone getting involved in Han's uncle's messy affairs.
She knew Lin Xiaocui's personality; she wasn't someone who couldn't think straight. If Wei Shufen really wanted to break up Xiaocui and Han Lei, she would definitely suffer the consequences herself.
Whether Han Lei will still acknowledge her is still uncertain.
Lin Xiaocui just needs to focus on her career; let everything else take its course!
After the New Year, Lu Wanqing will also be busy.
Henry Fok had already contacted the vice governor of the National Bank, saying that he had arranged a dinner party.
How could she let him pay for the meal? Lu Wanqing immediately booked a relatively high-end restaurant to entertain the two leaders.
The vice president was named Zhang Chunhe, who was in charge of lending business. Huo Yingdong had to go through several layers of connections to get in touch with him.
Upon hearing that a beautiful woman was buying the factory, Zhang Chunhe became very enthusiastic and arrived at the restaurant's private room early.
Lu Wanqing went up to him with a sweet smile, "You must be President Zhang, right? Welcome, welcome. It's such an honor to have you here."
A secretary was also with President Zhang, who frowned and asked Lu Wanqing:
"Has Minister Huo not arrived yet?"
Lu Wanqing didn't know why Huo Yingdong would be late at such a crucial time, so she made up an excuse to get by.
"Come on, President Zhang, let's have some tea while we wait."
Lu Wanqing asked the waiter to brew some fine Tieguanyin tea.
Zhang Chunhe was over fifty years old and had some baldness, but he was very kind.
She didn't seem too angry about Fok Ying-tung's decision sooner or later, and even chatted enthusiastically with Lu Wanqing.
About ten minutes later, he instructed his secretary to go outside and greet Minister Huo, leaving only him and Lu Wanqing inside.
When the secretary left, he closed the door behind him. Lu Wanqing was alone in a private room with another man. She felt very uncomfortable, but when she thought about borrowing 2.5 million yuan from him, she decided to endure it.
Who knew that after Zhang Chunhe's sanctimonious demeanor was undone, he became lewd and walked up to Lu Wanqing, trying to put his groping hand on her shoulder.
Just as his hand was about to touch her, Lu Wanqing suddenly stood up and distanced herself from him.
"Director Zhang, it's hot inside, please open the door!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chunhe strode to the door and blocked it.
"Boss Lu, why pretend to be innocent? You already have three children, surely you know about that kind of thing between men and women."
Since you've asked me for a favor, you should know that I have no other hobbies than women... especially stunning women like you.
The fact that Lu Wanqing had three children was naturally said by Huo Yingdong. However, he brought up the family to illustrate that Lu Wanqing had a difficult life. Who knew that Zhang Chunhe would distort it like this?
Little did she know that the moment Zhang Chunhe saw her, his eyes lit up, and he gestured to his secretary, determined to win her over no matter what.
"President Zhang, I didn't expect you to be so direct. Well then, let me tell you, no one in this world can threaten me!"
Based on what you just said, you have no choice but to take out this loan!
Lu Wanqing said with a sneer.
Zhang Chunhe, unsure of her intentions, subtly changed his expression.
"Don't be ungrateful. So many people want to get loans this way, but I haven't given in."
Since you don't want to be with me, I definitely won't lend you the money.
“No, you will!” Lu Wanqing said firmly.
More than ten minutes passed in the stalemate, when the door opened and Fok Ying-tung walked in.
As soon as Zhang Chunhe saw him, he began to hurl insults at him:
"What a terrible dinner you arranged for me! It's such a downer! You can forget about getting your loan!"
As he spoke, he turned to leave.
Lu Wanqing blocked the door with a single move.
"President Zhang, if you don't want to lose your job, you'd better sit down and let me finish what I have to say."
Henry Fok also tilted his head slightly towards him, gesturing for him to sit down.
"What do you want? Are you trying to threaten me?"
"But what are you going to threaten me with? I didn't do anything. I just joked around with Boss Lu a few times. You can't do anything about it if I don't admit it!"
Zhang Chunhe calmly sat down in the chair, crossed his arms, and looked unperturbed.
The secretary standing nearby even put on a stern face and lectured them.
"Have you no regard for the law? How dare you treat the bank manager like this, especially you, Minister Huo? Don't you want to lose your job in Beijing?"
Although Zhang Chunhe couldn't control Fok Ying-tung, his rank was still higher, and with just a little sabotage, Fok Ying-tung might lose his position.
Just as the two were filled with fearlessness, a rash voice rang out:
"Boss Lu, why pretend to be innocent? You already have three children, surely you know about that kind of thing between men and women."
Since you've asked me for a favor, you should know that I have no other hobbies than women... especially stunning women like you.
Zhang Chunhe's forehead was covered in cold sweat. This...this wasn't his own voice?
Why are his words being repeated over and over again?
His gaze shifted and he saw a small box in Lu Wanqing's hand, and his heart skipped a beat.
Could the sound be coming from that radio-like box?
Lu Wanqing noticed his confusion and patiently explained:
"President Zhang is very knowledgeable, surely you know that there is a type of tape recorder that can record people's conversations from cassette tapes?"
I just brought one back from the port city, and I never expected it to come in handy today.
You tell me, if you played your voice aloud, who wouldn't recognize it?
Zhang Chunhe felt as if his entire body had been struck by lightning, and he began to tremble. His secretary, knowing the seriousness of the situation, whispered something in his ear.
A moment later, as if he had been pulled out of the water, he touched his sweaty face and said, panting heavily:
"Bring your documents to apply for the loan tomorrow!"
He didn't want the recording to be released. Not only could his colleagues not know, but even his own wife, the "tiger mom," couldn't know. He got his position as deputy bank manager because of her powerful family.
In the past, he could take advantage of women in this way without anyone daring to speak out. But today, he has been outmaneuvered by Lu Wanqing.
Before leaving, he repeatedly instructed Lu Wanqing and Huo Yingdong that the recording must never be released!
Lu Wanqing wouldn't be that foolish; after all, there were risks involved in doing this.
With Zhang Chunhe gone, Fok Ying-tung finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I told Lu Wanqing long ago that this deputy bank manager was a womanizer, but I never expected her to come up with this idea.
"Minister Huo, thank you this time. I hope he won't retaliate against you?" Lu Wanqing's only concern was the impact on Huo Yingdong.
Henry Fok chuckled:
"He's such a coward, he can only bully weak women, he poses no threat to me! Besides, you have such important evidence, he definitely won't act rashly."
