Chapter 111 In His Arms...
When she arrived at Hongyun Tower, Su Luo prepared for the worst. If she had not been discovered, she could not think of any reason why Manager Zhao would ask her out for a chat.
Shopkeeper Zhao had been waiting in the private room on the second floor, drinking tea leisurely. One look at his attitude and Su Luo knew that he was confident and must know something.
There was no way to escape now, so Su Luo pretended to be relaxed and greeted him. Shopkeeper Zhao stood up and bowed, inviting Su Luo to sit down. Without saying much, he took out two small paper bags from his arms and opened them separately, revealing two handfuls of paper ashes inside.
"As for any bank, the banknotes it makes must be unique and different from others. In addition to the watermark and mud stamp, our Zhenxing Bank also mixes a small amount of silver powder into the paper pulp used to make the banknotes. Boss Su, please take a look."
Su Luo was thinking of a countermeasure in his mind while leaning over to look at the two piles of paper ashes. One pile had spots of silver powder mixed in, while the other pile had none at all.
"Boss Su, do I need to explain it to you?"
Su Luo shrugged nonchalantly, "What do you want to make clear? Are the banknotes I gave you to check all fake?"
"Those banknotes are indeed real. Manager Li and I are only responsible for verifying their authenticity, so I don't think this matter has much to do with our bank."
Su Luo stood up, "Then why did you come to me? Do you want to use this to blackmail me for some benefits?" She spread her hands, "I don't have much money, why don't you think about how to get the 40,000 taels from the Ji family..." At this point, something seemed to flash through Su Luo's mind, "Wait, you came to me for the 40,000 taels from the Ji family?"
Shopkeeper Zhao stood up with a smile, "Boss Su is a quick-witted person. He is willing to accept defeat. However... given the status of the Ji family in Nanjing City, not everyone has the courage to stroke the tiger's whiskers like you, Boss Su."
Su Luo laughed at himself, "Originally there was someone who was even more unacceptable than the Ji family, but now both sides have been offended. I really want you to keep a secret for me, and the best way is to know one of your secrets. Tell me, how do you want me to cooperate?"
"Simple, very simple." Shopkeeper Zhao stretched out his hand, "I just want to have a meal with Boss Su."
Shopkeeper Zhao took Su Luo to the third floor and entered a private room. The partition facilities in this room were not very good, and one could hear clearly if the people next door spoke a little louder.
Shopkeeper Zhao took out a stack of banknotes and placed them on the table. He said in a neither loud nor low voice, "Boss Su, this is the money we have counted for Boss Su. It is a total of 40,000 taels."
Su Luo's ears were sharp. Before Shopkeeper finished speaking, the conversation next door suddenly stopped. Su Luo pointed at the next door and wrote the word "Ji" on the table. Shopkeeper Zhao nodded slightly. Su Luo smiled slightly and pushed the banknote back. "Shopkeeper Zhao, do you think I, Su Luo, am a villain who doesn't keep my word? I burned the banknotes and asked your bank to recover the losses. I don't want to do such a rogue behavior. Or do you think I can't afford to play this game?"
Shopkeeper Zhao nodded and smiled, "Boss Su, you are too kind. Boss Su has a successful business, and even my wife is a member of your company. How can you not afford to play with such a small amount of money? Your mother is also closely related to Princess Huairou. No matter what, our company dare not offend her. Boss Su, please treat this gambling as a game. I will explain the situation to Boss Ji in a while, and the banknotes will also be returned to him."
Su Luo laughed, "You also said it was a small amount of money. I don't care about it, so why would Boss Ji care? I'm afraid that the money Young Master Ji spent this time is still relatively small. If I say so, you don't need to go to Boss Ji. He has been in the business world for decades, so he is naturally the most honest."
The result? Of course, Su Luo graciously rejected Shopkeeper Zhao, and said a set of high-sounding words to Old Man Ji, and then left in style. I believe that after such a squeeze, even if Old Man Ji wanted to, he would be embarrassed to accept the bank's banknotes.
Su Luo was still thinking about this on the way home. Dark! Really dark! If Shopkeeper Zhao hadn't thought of this method, Old Man Ji wouldn't have needed to give any explicit or implicit instructions. Zhenxing Money House would have to rush to deliver silver bills. People would have regarded it as a great gift, because they were successful and powerful. But the money house is not bad. You have a plan, and I have a ladder. Facing a big boss who cannot be an enemy, starting from a third party is not a bad idea.
However, she was also wrong. Although she asked Bi Hen to burn all the fake banknotes outside, she forgot to completely destroy the evidence. It was a real mistake.
Su Luo was reflecting on himself when he heard the sound of horse hooves behind him and dodged to the side impatiently. Why would you ride a horse in such a crowded street in the city? It's like riding a bicycle on a pedestrian street, which is very annoying.
Su Luo was ready to sniff when the horse passed by, but before she could turn her head, a gust of wind blew into her collar. She shivered, and then the world spun around, and then she saw the ground moving in front of her eyes, and the bumps were accompanied by the rhythmic sound of horse hooves, which made her want to vomit.
Su Luo wanted to scream but couldn't. She would vomit if she screamed. Also, because of the position, the blood rushed up and her face and neck became red. Su Luo swore that whoever lifted her off the ground and onto the horse would be dead.
He was hung across the horse like he was performing an acrobatics. He didn't know how long it had been. It shouldn't have been too long because it was only the distance from Hongyun Building to Su's residence. However, Su Luo was about to die from a burst blood vessel.
The man holding Su Luo stopped his horse in front of the Su family's gate, let her... off the horse, and then he jumped off the horse as well. Su Luo sat on the ground for a long time before she had the strength to raise her head.
"Li...Rushong..." Su Luo pointed at him tremblingly, "I want to have my injuries examined... I want compensation..."
Li Rusong stood in front of Su Luo condescendingly, looking at her as if she were an animal. His handsome face did not show his usual laziness or annoyance, but was unexpectedly serious, with some impatient anger hidden in his eyes.
"Did you tell Qin Qing about Su Jiang?"
" Ugh..." Su Luo was struggling with the churning in his stomach and almost died.
Li Rusong stretched out his toes to hook Su Luo's chin, diverting Su Luo's attention to himself, and repeated his question.
Su Luo dodged his foot, suppressed the rising feeling of gastric acid again, and staggered to stand up with Li Rusong, "Ugh... What does it matter? Qin Qing... Ugh... She is staying at home well and didn't go to find Su Jiang."
Li Rusong's face slowly approached Su Luo, "She didn't go, she asked her friend to go."
"Friend?" Su Luo was stunned, and then she stopped retching. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, "Bai Qing'er?"
Li Rusong snorted with a gloomy face and shook off Su Luo's hand, "Do you have a brain? Do you think with your stomach? You knew Qin Qing was in trouble, but you still told her such a thing!"
"I... vomit..." Su Luo did not dry heave this time, but vomited cleanly in Li Rusong's arms, with several aftershocks. After vomiting, she did not dare to look at Li Rusong's expression, and ran into the yard while shouting, "My stomach does not want to think, it wants to vomit."
