Chapter 357: Chapter 357: Artful Words and Expressions (Four updates for monthly pass)
Feng Jun’s skills in charming ladies had not atrophied. Together with his improved looks and physique, as well as generous tips, the greeter was instantly won over and divulged the location of Director Luo.
Actually, it didn’t matter whether she spoke or not, Director Luo was not in a private room but seated in a corner settee in the main hall.
All the settees here were sofas. Feng Jun walked over and immediately spotted Director Luo, who was talking in a low voice with a beaming smile.
Sitting opposite him were two women. However, since they had their backs to Feng Jun, he could only see the backs of their heads.
Director Luo was in the middle of enjoying his conversation when he saw someone from the hall coming towards him; and it was straight in his direction. At first, he frowned in displeasure, then his eyes went wide with disbelief.
“Sorry to interrupt your conversation,” Feng Jun entered and, without a glance at the two women, plopped himself beside Director Luo, and asked with keen interest, “Looks like you’ve recognized who I am?”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Director Luo shook his head decisively, “Sorry, I don’t know you. This is…”
He hadn’t finished his sentence when someone across spoke up coldly, “You’re Feng Jun, right? Don’t you think what you’re doing is very impolite?”
Feng Jun looked up and was immediately taken aback… It’s you?
The person seated across from him was none other than Yu Qingzhu, with whom he did not get along well. Beside her was a woman in her thirties dressed in office attire, with a dignified appearance and the aura of a white-boned demoness.
It was hard for Feng Jun to harbour ill feelings towards Yu Qingzhu, though he knew she didn’t take kindly to him.
Thus, he didn’t feel the need to coddle her and simply replied indifferently, “I’ve been waiting in Director Luo’s office since nine o’clock, so if I’ve interrupted your conversation, I’m truly… sorry.”
Yu Qingzhu coldly stared at him without saying a word.
She really couldn’t stand this guy, but since he indeed knew Director Luo, she decided to watch silently for the time being.
Feng Jun also couldn’t stand her haughtiness. Hence, he turned his head to look at Director Luo and flashed a grin, “Still saying you don’t know me?”
A flicker of panic crossed Director Luo’s eyes, but he quickly steadied himself and smiled faintly, reaching out his hand, “Heh, so you’re Feng Jun. This is quite unexpected, nice to meet you…”
Feng Jun blatantly ignored his hand, his face expressionless as he said, “You know why I’m looking for you, don’t you?”
Director Luo slowly withdrew his hand, his face unavoidably showing some embarrassment. Quickly after, though, he nodded decisively, “Cash flow has been a bit tight lately, but if you have any needs, you can discuss them with Xiao Li… Li Liangquan. He’s the one in charge.”
“Don’t be ungrateful,” Feng Jun’s face darkened, clearly ready to tear into him, “Li Liangquan’s rank isn’t enough to give me trouble. I’m just asking you one question today: who told you to do this?”
“This is really baffling,” Director Luo frowned and mumbled discontentedly, then put on a facade as if bearing a great burden, “President Feng, listen to my explanation, you might be misunderstanding something…”
“Cut the crap,” Feng Jun cut him off, sure that without even Li Liangquan’s tips, just these few minutes of interaction were enough to confirm the other party definitely had an issue, “I’m just asking you one thing, can I withdraw money today?”
“Impossible,” Director Luo shook his head, answering decisively, “It’s already past three o’clock, and we’re closing at five.”
“What about tomorrow?” Feng Jun stared at him, unblinking.
Director Luo certainly wasn’t going to take responsibility and passed the buck directly, “You need to contact Li Liangquan… I don’t get involved in specific operations.”
“I can’t stand people like you,” Feng Jun’s eyes narrowed as he spoke coldly, “If you had the guts to obstruct me directly, I would respect you as a man. But scheming in the shadows and making your subordinates take the fall… Are you even a man?”
Director Luo’s mouth twitched, his response frantic, “I truly don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
“That’s all you’re capable of,” Feng Jun said coldly with a glance, “Since you insist on being obstinate and not giving me my money, I won’t ask who’s behind you… Remember, it’s your own choice!”
Director Luo’s face was as still as water, but he said nothing.
The thirty-year-old white-boned woman couldn’t stand it any longer. She lightly coughed, “Excuse me, Mr. Intruder, may I assume that you’re threatening Director Luo?”
“Not your business!” Feng Jun shot her a cold look, “Men are talking; women should talk less… you’re not involved, why the rush?”
“In fact, you are the one who is being impetuous,” Yu Qingzhu looked at him coldly, “Not only rude but also barbaric.”
“What do you know?” Feng Jun glanced at her scornfully, too lazy to explain further.
“It’s a loan, isn’t it?” Yu Qingzhu laughed mockingly, “Borrowing money should at least be done with a borrower’s attitude.”
“Strange, how is my attitude when borrowing money any of your business?” Feng Jun bristled at hearing this. Do I really look like someone who’s insolvent? Why would you assume I need a loan?
However, he quickly realized there was a problem with his words, so he added, “I’m withdrawing money, my own money.”
Yu Qingzhu’s mouth opened slightly. You want to withdraw your own money, and the bank won’t let you?
She felt her head wasn’t quite enough: How could such a thing be possible?
Just then, the white-boned woman chimed in, “If there’s money in your account, you just need to schedule an appointment with the bank… Of course, if the account is frozen, that’s another story.”
“What have I done to you? Can’t you speak properly?” Feng Jun glanced at her coldly, “If my account gets frozen, can it be solved just by finding a customer manager? Your intelligence is really touching.”
The Skeleton Spirit rolled her eyes at his comment, “You mean to say, you have money but Director Luo won’t let you withdraw it?”
“That’s right,” Feng Jun nodded, looking at Yu Qingzhu with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, “I’d like to ask, who exactly is the uncivilized one here?”
Yu Qingzhu didn’t even deign to look at him, her gaze fixed on Director Luo, her eyes clearly asking, Is that so?
After a period of adjustment, Director Luo’s mindset had become a lot more peaceful, “President Feng, you might have misunderstood our intentions…”
“I don’t want to hear about misunderstandings,” Feng Jun cut him off promptly, “I just want to ask, can I withdraw money tomorrow or not?”
Of course, Director Luo wouldn’t answer directly, “There are some technical factors involved, the major banks recently…”
“Cut the crap,” Feng Jun wasn’t interested in hearing those details, “I have money, and you won’t let me withdraw it… are you sure you want to offend me?”
The Skeleton Spirit couldn’t stand listening anymore. Just because you’re rich, you can be so arrogant? “Director Luo, how much has he deposited with you?”
Director Luo pondered for a moment, then shook his head, “I’m not very clear on the exact figure, maybe around thirty or fifty million?”
“Heh,” the Skeleton Spirit let out a cold laugh upon hearing this, “Then just let him withdraw it. It’s not a big deal.”
“Yeah, just let me withdraw it. It’s not a big deal,” Feng Jun spoke indifferently, “I’ll close my account.”
“…” Director Luo fell silent, very aware that Feng Jun’s current account held over a hundred million.
Originally, the other party planned to transfer most of it, leaving behind about thirty million in the bank, but now… close the account?
He would rather pay out of his own pocket to deposit a couple of thousand into the account than have it closed.
Yu Qingzhu couldn’t stand it any longer, speaking coldly, “Director Luo, check how much money he has. Whatever he withdraws, I’ll deposit.”
But this wasn’t a question of whether you’d deposit or not, Director Luo was very clear on that.
However, he didn’t have the guts to offend the Yu Family, so he could only open WeChat and send a voice message to Li Liangquan, asking him to check Feng Jun’s account.
Soon, Li Liangquan sent back the information, and Director Luo glanced at it before handing the mobile phone to Yu Qingzhu.
Yu Qingzhu glanced at the mobile phone, furrowed her brows slightly, then looked at Director Luo and spoke indifferently, “Not much money… is it difficult for you?”
She actually wanted to curse as well. Thirty or fifty million? Thirty million plus fifty million only amounted to eighty million, and the account had two sets of eighty million. Wasn’t this setting her up?
The Yu Family’s assets were plentiful, but as she was still in school and asking her family to help her deposit thirty or fifty million in the bank was not difficult, but over a hundred million was another matter… Oh well, who told her she found this rough man unpleasant to the eye?
Director Luo hesitated for a moment, figuring it was better not to offend the Yu Family. He could see that Yu Qingzhu had a grudge against Feng Jun and seemed to be stubbornly coping. Thus, he steeled his resolve, “Little Yu, his account… there’s something fishy about it.”
“Hmm?” Yu Qingzhu frowned again, The Yu Family was an old prestigious family of Funiu, ranking among the most prominent throughout Huaxia. Although she was young, she had been immersed in these matters since childhood and knew quite a few secrets, “There’s a problem with the account?”
Without waiting for Director Luo to speak, Feng Jun let out a cold laugh, “I’m also very curious, what exactly is fishy? Tell me, Director Luo.”
Director Luo looked at Yu Qingzhu with an innocent expression: I can’t say it, you know.
Yu Qingzhu had no patience for such exchanges, “Director Luo, speak straightforwardly, don’t mind those threats.”
“Yu Qingzhu… not only is your intelligence touching, but your perspective is also very unique,” Feng Jun scoffed coldly, “I’m the uncivilized one, and I’m the one threatening others. You’re so fixated on me, is it really that interesting to you?”
It wasn’t him who was uncivilized, it was him being threatened. This woman was truly a waste of her beautiful appearance and those charming eyes.
Yu Qingzhu sized him up and down with an expressionless face before moving to grab her milk tea, “Me, fixated on you? Heh, you flatter yourself.”
Director Luo, meanwhile, stared at Feng Jun, mouth agape: Do you two actually know each other?
He had always suspected there was something between the two, especially since Yu Qingzhu had instantly recognized Feng Jun by name. But it wasn’t until this moment, when Feng Jun also called out “Yu Qingzhu,” that he finally confirmed his suspicion.
Not only were they acquainted, but there also seemed to be some conflicts!
Regaining his composure, he spoke up, “President Feng, I regret to inform you that there is indeed a problem with your account.”
It was tough for him to withstand Feng Jun’s pressure alone, but with the Yu Family involved, what did he have to fear?
“Oh?” Feng Jun raised an eyebrow, “What problem does it exist with it?”
