Xiaozang’s saliva gushed into his throat, almost threatening to drown himself. His eyes nearly bulged out of his sockets as he gazed at Zhang Sanfeng: Was this man the biggest fool in the world?
With just a casual flick of the wrist, fifty million? Was he shopping for cabbage?
"Are you sure you want to invest so much?" Xiaozang asked.
Zhang Sanfeng leaned in his wheelchair, the corners of his delicate mouth lifted slightly: "Of course."
Xiaozang swallowed his saliva, "Okay." His fingers holding the pen were trembling.
Gu’s mother and Gu’s father watched with their hearts pounding, as if they were about to jump out of their chests.
For someone who could casually toss out fifty million, it was unbearable for people like them who could not earn even one million in their entire lives.
"Stop looking," Gu’s mother tapped Gu’s father.
The money wasn’t theirs; staring at it was pointless.
Gu’s father shrugged his shoulders; naturally, he wasn’t jealous, but rather, he felt the thrill of watching a play unfold.
And moreover, watching a brother throwing around money like dirt, and his son-in-law remaining silent without a word of caution? Gu’s father had more of a mind than Gu’s mother and was filled with doubts and wonders.
Just as Xiaozang was about to finalize the contract, Zhang Sanfeng suddenly said, "Does your company handle confidentiality for clients?"
Xiaozang immediately understood his meaning, and with a beaming smile, he said, "You can rest assured, absolutely rest assured. Our company will never disclose any private information about clients, not a single one."
Rich people, after all, the world is full of envy towards the wealthy, isn’t it? Otherwise, why would there have always been tales of thefts and robberies since ancient times? Thus, the wealthy must hide their treasures and act poor. Xiaozang, who often dealt with somewhat wealthy people, knew this truth well.
However, when Zhang Sanfeng heard his words, he frowned slightly and said, "That’s alright, but I am not worried about running out of money. I just fear unnecessary trouble arising for no reason. Can you give me more assurance of safety, making me feel secure enough to invest?"
Xiaozang was taken aback; indeed, it was the first time he had encountered such an odd request from an investor. Generally, people want more information on how to make money. This man, on the contrary, only wanted personal safety.
Since he had never encountered such a situation and the other party was a rare big client, Xiaozang had to carefully seek Zhang Sanfeng’s own opinion: "What are your thoughts? Would you like us to provide some form of proof?"
"It’s simple," Zhang Sanfeng said lightly, "If your boss’s background is strong enough to cover for me, to cover for the investor, who would dare stir trouble on my watch? Right?"
Zhang Sanfeng’s words seemed to make sense. Updates are released by 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾※𝙣𝙚𝙩
Xiaozang dared not decide on his own and said, "I’ll ask my superiors about it."
Zhang Sanfeng was in no rush and said to him, "I’ll keep the money here for now. It was left to me by my ancestors, and I’m eager to find a safe place for it. Of course, if your boss is interested, he can take it. But if your boss feels his capabilities are not strong enough and he’s afraid to handle this amount, then let’s forget about it."
Xiaozang did not quite understand everything the other party said, interpreting Zhang Sanfeng’s words as indicating that if their side did not agree, he would definitely look elsewhere to invest. The prospect of losing such a large client made Xiaozang anxious.
Xiaozang, clutching his briefcase, hurried off to consult with his superiors.
Gu’s mother and Gu’s father were left in total confusion, not even thinking to ask Zhang Sanfeng questions. After all, he was their son-in-law’s friend, and truthfully, they had no right to meddle in how someone chose to invest their money. To ask would be pointless and might even be seen as prying into personal affairs. Gu’s mother and Gu’s father would never do such a thing, so like Gu’s father said, they simply watched the drama unfold and let it be.
