Chapter 42 I Bet You'll Clear All
After the banquet was finally over, Jun Lan was about to go home when she was stopped by Ke Chenzhi.
"Ms. Lin, you have a long-standing reputation. It's a rare honor to have you here tonight. It really adds a lot of color to my banquet."
Jun Lan thought to herself, "How utterly hypocritical! You didn't even think of inviting me. I'm already exhausted from entertaining a bunch of people tonight, and I'm not interested in entertaining a jerk like you before I leave."
"Manager Ke, you're too polite. As the boss's assistant, I'm just concerned about the managers and employees in various departments on his behalf. Well, I have something else to do. If Manager Ke doesn't have anything else to do, then I'll be leaving first."
"Ms. Lin, please wait. I know you're busy, and it's rare for us to see each other, so even if you're busy, you won't care about that little moment."
"Manager Ke, are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay. It's just that everyone in the hotel knows that Miss Lin is the most important person to the boss and Mr. Situ. Ten words from us, veteran employees with decades of experience, can't compare to one word from you, Miss Lin. So I hope you, Miss Lin, can say a few good words for me in front of the boss and Mr. Situ. I, Ke, will never forget your kindness."
"Of course, of course. The boss always remembers good employees like Manager Ke who are loyal to their duties. Otherwise, why would Manager Xu promote Manager Ke?"
Ke Chenzhi was stunned for a moment, then recovered his composure. "Miss Lin is right. I heard that Miss Lin went to the hospital today to see Wang Dafu and the security guard on behalf of her boss. How are they doing now?"
Jun Lan thought to herself, "I can't let you have it so easy. I need to make you wary. Your current position isn't so secure."
"I think their recovery is going well. You can go visit them yourself if you have time."
Ke Chenzhi smiled and said, "We are colleagues, that's for sure."
Jun Lan: "Then I'll go first."
"Do you want me to find someone to send Miss Lin off?"
"No need. I can go home by myself. No need to bother Manager Ke."
"Then I won't see you off. Goodbye."
Looking at Jun Lan walking away, Ke Chenzhi immediately put away his smile.
"This woman is indeed quite capable. She should not be underestimated."
After returning home, Lin Junlan immediately called the mobile phone number on the business card Lu Yang gave her.
"Excuse me, is this xx Credit Company? I want to borrow 50,000 yuan."
"Where's your address? I'll come over and talk to you in detail."
"Do you know which Starbucks restaurant on the Bund is?"
"Got it. Meet there in 20 minutes."
20 minutes later, Junlan arrived as promised. After sitting for a while, her cell phone rang.
Jun Lan was about to answer the phone when it was suddenly hung up. At this time, a middle-aged man in his forties came across her.
Jun Lan: "Sorry, I'm waiting for someone."
Middle-aged man: "I am the one I am waiting for. You are the woman who just said on the phone that she wanted to borrow 50,000 yuan, right?"
Jun Lan: "It's me."
"Give me your ID card, tell me your address and workplace, and then I'll have you sign an agreement, and you can get the money."
Finally, he added, "If you want cash or cash transfer, it will cost extra."
Jun Lan: "Do you know who introduced me here?"
"I don't care who introduced you. Damn it, are you going to lend it to me or not? Stop dawdling here and hindering my business."
"No."
When he heard that the loan was not granted, the middle-aged man turned and left.
"Do you know Lu Yang?"
Upon hearing Lu Yang, the middle-aged man turned around and sat down again.
"I was wondering how you could be so bold! Turns out that bastard Lu Yang introduced you here."
"I didn't come to you to borrow money this time. I came mainly to ask about Lu Yang."
"Hahaha..." The man couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Are you a police officer? Otherwise, how could you have the courage to ask me to reveal the client's information to you? Did Liang Jingru give it to you? Otherwise, give me a reason and see if I can agree."
Jun Lan took out a thick stack of money and placed it on the table, saying quietly, "Is this a sufficient reason?"
The middle-aged man quickly picked up the money and counted it, saying with a smile, "Enough, enough, more than enough. Actually, this is not a secret. This is a secret known to the whole bank."
He went to the counter and ordered a cup of coffee.
"It's a pity to say that Lu Yang is gone. He comes from a wealthy family, is good-looking, and was an excellent student in college."
"It sounds like you know him well."
"I have been lending him money for five years. Can you calculate how long it has been?"
He was so angry that he slammed the table, causing everyone around to steal glances at them.
Jun Lan: "Calm down, why are you pretending to be so noble? Without them, what would you eat? Isn't it too late for you to feel guilty now? Tell us slowly what happened afterwards."
"Miss, we are not an underground bank that launders money for others. We are a formal loan company. Please respect our profession. We are here to help people in need."
"Okay, okay, I'm sorry, can you please get to the point?"
"When he first borrowed money from me, he was quite normal. He always paid it back on time. He's the kind of customer we, as agents, love the most. We became close friends after a few interactions, but things started to change. First, he kept delaying the payments, then he simply refused to pay them back. Finally, to recover the debt, we had no choice but to sue him in court. That's when we discovered he had been borrowing from multiple credit companies, using one to pay another. When the truth came out, his father was forced to buy the company to pay off his debts. He then went quiet for a while."
"Isn't this great?"
"What a joke! It wasn't long before he came to me again to borrow money."
"Then why did you lend it to him?"
"Lend it, why not? If I don't lend it to him, he will find another credit company to borrow from. It's better for me, an acquaintance, to make money, don't you think?"
Jun Lan looked at him with disgust.
"Did he say why he borrowed so much money?"
"Is there even any need to ask? It was all about gambling. He was obsessed with making up for his losses. The more he lost, the more he gambled. The more he gambled, the more he lost. A truly good young man was completely lost in the sea of gambling."
The middle-aged man's words all revealed his regret for Lu Yang's fall. Perhaps he was also regretting the loss of a good customer or a good friend!
"No more?"
"That's all. What other stories do you want to hear? I made them up anyway. Do you want to hear them?"
"Alright, alright, go away!"
Junlan was already tired of listening to him rambling on about family matters, which contained no useful information at all.
The middle-aged man stood up and straightened his clothes. Finally, he said slowly, "You must be his friend, right? As a friend, please persuade him for me. Don't take any crooked paths. It's more terrible than gambling."
"What did you say?"
"Don't you think he seems to have made a fortune recently? Not only has he paid off all his previous debts, but he has also been gambling more and more, as if there is a steady stream of funds supporting him. Those money from unknown sources are like a death warrant, specifically designed to take the lives of those bad guys." After saying that, he left Star Dad alone.
