284 Preparing for the Counterattack
Chu Ning stared at the turning hands of the huge clock in the bank lobby. She was still a little nervous. Although the mayor would probably not reject her request, she was still worried that something unexpected would happen. After all, it was a hundred million.
“Maybe I should ask for fifty million?” Chu Ning asked herself in her heart, but she immediately denied this thought. She needed sufficient funds so that her future actions and plans not be restricted. It can’t be less than a hundred million.
Chu Ning’s tightly clenched hands were already sweating. The wait was torturous.
Her phone rang again. Without any hesitation, Chu Ning answered the call without even looking at who it was.
“Congratulations, Miss Chu Ning. The mayor is willing to be your guarantor for a loan limit of two hundred million.” On the other end of the phone, his assistant, Xiao Liu, spoke softly with a smile.
“But the mayor hopes that you can take the development of M City into consideration. As you become wealthier, you must think of the people and not forget your original intentions,” Xiao Liu continued.
“Hello? Miss Chu Ning, are you on the phone? Hello?” Xiao Liu looked at his phone in confusion to confirm that he had not called the wrong number.
“I heard you. Please help me thank the mayor. I won’t let him down.” The two hundred million kept echoing in Chu Ning’s mind. She felt dizzy from happiness.
She only came back to her senses when the assistant spoke for the third time. Two hundred million – this budget was more than enough. The huge amount of money dissipated Chu Ning’s worries.
There was no problem that money couldn’t solve. If there was, it was because the money wasn’t enough.
Two hundred million in cash! Only the mayor’s guarantee would make the bank pay. The corners of Chu Ning’s lips curled up subconsciously. She walked into the VIP room again and saw that the bank staff was still waiting for her.
“I’m sorry to have made you wait for so long,” Chu Ning said with a smile.
“It’s fine. It’s my honor to be able to serve you. It seems that you have found a guarantor?” The bank staff returned the smile.
“Yes, I did.” Chu Ning nodded and continued, “I want two hundred million. My guarantor is Li Cha, the mayor of M City.”
Chu Ning could not believe it even when she had already left the bank. She didn’t expect it to go so smoothly.
It wasn’t two million or twenty million, but a full two hundred million. The bank transferred it to her account just like that, and it was a one-time payment.
During this period, Chu Ning even found out that the bank couldn’t take out so much cash at one time. They had to transfer it from several other banks in M City and then deposit the total into her account!
Seven or eight bank staff were busy helping her. In less than ten minutes, the transaction was completed. Chu Ning knew that although she was a VIP of the bank, she wasn’t so important that the bank had to be so attentive to her.
“Is this the power of a mayor?” Chu Ning remarked. She had witnessed with her own eyes how terrifying the mayor’s power was today. It made the usually arrogant bank willingly lower its head.
“Now, are you ready to receive my counterattack?” Chu Ning looked up at the vast sky and murmured.
……
In a remote low-rise house in Qinghe Village, Buddy was planning to renovate it after a while. He wanted to make it more magnificent and show those who had once looked down on him how rich he was now!
In fact, he wanted to do so a long time ago, but he really had no money and was too lazy, so he could only dream about it.
“After renovating the house, I want to get a wife. Tsk tsk, perfect!” Buddy was lying on the bed, thinking about his beautiful future.
He was still a little excited when he thought of his feat last night, so he called the person who gave him the money. He wanted to report the good news.
“Maybe I can get an extra reward?” Buddy thought happily.
After more than ten seconds, the call was finally picked up. Buddy couldn’t wait to report the “good news”. However, after he finished speaking, the other end of the phone fell silent.
“Tell me some of the characteristics of that car.” An indifferent voice came from the other end of the phone.
Buddy swallowed his saliva. Until now, he still thought that the other party was deciding on the rewards that he would be given.
“Boss, that car was really badly scratched by me. It’s enough to make their hearts ache,” Buddy said smugly.
