Chapter 416: What A Joyous Occasion

Chapter 416: What A Joyous Occasion

Su Yang changed his clothes and wore a pair of normal shoes when he got into the car.

The reason why he got changed was not because he took the meeting seriously, but because he wanted to do what a businessman should do, respect the person he was meeting.

He could wear large pants and slippers to school, but he would not go to a five-star hotel to meet a manager from a large state-owned bank. It would be an insult.

To put it bluntly, everyone had to show courtesy towards each other professionally which included workplace etiquette and culture.

For example, during important meetings, everyone would dress formally and the ladies would put on light makeup.

Although it was not a rule, if anyone did not behave accordingly, they would be deemed to be disrespectful.

Although there was slightly a restriction in freedom, there was never any freedom in the society to begin with.

In the car, Su Yang changed into a more formal outfit in front of Pan Zhaodi. He put on his shoes and took out his phone. As he played on his phone, he asked Pan Zhaodi, who was driving, “Have you prepared the documents?”

Pan Zhaodi glanced at the left rearview mirror as she replied, “Mr. Su, everything is ready. Last week, the box office broke the norm and achieved a high box office again, so the data we have will be more convincing.”

Su Yang nodded and closed his eyes. ‘Now I’m even more confident that my plan to receive the 50 million yuan loan through Jiadian Pictures will succeed.’

Just as he was thinking that, a beep suddenly rang in his head. [Affinity +2]

‘What? Why did my [Affinity] suddenly change?’

Su Yang took out the [Unrestricted Driver’s License] and found that Guo Xiaoying’s [Affinity] had indeed increased.

Even though Su Yang could not figure out the reason, he was already used to the fact that the girl’s [Affinity] would fluctuate. Hence, he did not mind.

He kept the [Unrestricted Driver’s License] in his pocket and thought about how he was going to complete Qu Xuan’s mission.

‘Guo Xiaoying is very vigilant and protective of her best friend which is evident from how she had reported the incident about Qu Xuan, so it would be almost impossible to get Xue Ya’s Wechat from her.

‘Could I get it done indirectly?

‘It should be... possible.

‘I could just use the [Memory Labyrinth Hourglass].

‘Whenever I next meet up with Guo Xiaoying, I will use the [Memory Labyrinth Hourglass] to read her memory which should have Xue Ya’s phone number and WeChat in there. Whether it was her phone number or QR code, I could use [A Videotape To Make Up For Regrets] to record it and send a screenshot of it to Qu Xuan.

‘That way, this Random mission will be resolved flawlessly.

‘As for Guo Xiaoying’s 1.3 billion yuan project, I should take it slow instead of rushing things. This girl is too vigilant and has a weird personality, definitely not someone whom I could increase our [Friendship] to 100 points in a short time.’

Just as Su Yang was contemplating, the car arrived at Zijingang Hotel.

Pan Zhaodi got out of the car and opened the door for Su Yang. She then went to the parking lot of the hotel.

Su Yang did not wait for her. Instead, he went to the lobby and asked the receptionist about the location of Mr. Shen’s reserved private room.

After he found out where it was, Pan Zhaodi was also done parking the car and walked in.

The two of them went upstairs to Mr. Shen’s private room.

When they entered the private room, Mr. Shen was already there. He was accompanied by a young man and a young woman who seemed to be his subordinates.

The woman was rather pretty and had light makeup on. The man seemed rather handsome as well although there was a hint of arrogance on his face.

When Mr. Shen saw Su Yang, he quickly went up to him and shook his hand with a smile. “Oh, Mr. Su, I’m so sorry for asking you out for lunch on such short notice.”

Su Yang smiled and politely said, “It’s fine, don’t worry about it. I definitely have to oblige when you’ve so kindly requested to meet me.”

Su Yang was smiling sincerely which was only natural since he was going to be able to receive his 50 million yuan loan without having to put up a lot of collateral and would then be able to complete his Silver mission. Hence, of course he was happy.

On the contrary, Mr. Shen’s smile was much more fake. After all, he was the one who was being forced to do his job.

Su Yang had rejected his proposal without any hesitation and hung up the phone. Then, he announced within the industry that he would never approve Su Yang’s loan. In the end, he had to take the initiative to look for Su Yang and give him his loan. Therefore, Mr. Shen was the most aggrieved one.

After thinking about it for a long time this morning, he finally understood why Director Zhao knew that he had rejected Su Yang’s loan. At first, he thought that there was a mole in his team, but he realized that it might be because he was talking nonsense at the drinking party a few days ago...

A few days ago, due to his sudden increase in earnings, he was in a good mood, so he attended many drinking sessions.

After drinking, of course he had to brag. Hence, he used Su Yang as his bragging material for that session.

He said that Su Yang was young, frivolous and did not know how to conduct himself. As the manager of the bank’s credit department, he wanted to give him a loan, yet Su Yang would nitpick on everything.

Therefore, he would forever remember Su Yang. Even if the country held him with high praises, as long as he was still in the bank, Su Yang could forget about ever borrowing money from him!

After Mr. Shen was done bragging, the people who heard him bragging thought that he was outstanding.

However, anyone could attend these sort of drinking sessions and it would eventually reach Director Zhao’s ears.

And so... that was how Mr. Shen would end up being lectured by Director Zhao.

This made Mr. Shen feel extremely aggrieved. He had just made that decisive statement a few days ago, yet he was forced to lend Su Yang a loan on that day. The slap on the face arrived too quickly and in a very harsh method.

Furthermore, due to his director’s orders, he had to do his best to help Su Yang settle the matters. If Su Yang did not have enough collateral, he would have to think of a way to increase the value of the collateral. Mr. Shen was in a terrible situation...

Therefore, Mr. Shen was extremely unhappy.

However, he had no choice but to settle the loan for Su Yang despite his unwillingness.

As a veteren in the industry, Mr. Shen had the ability to conceal his emotions. Even though he was unhappy, it did not show it on his face and politely invited Su Yang and Pan Zhaodi to sit down.

When the two of them sat down, Mr. Shen asked the waiter to bring the menu for Su Yang to order first.

Su Yang was not particular about food and rejected him outright.

Mr. Shen passed the menu to the female subordinate beside him and smiled at Su Yang. “Mr. Su, I wanted to talk to you about our loan this afternoon.”

Since Mr. Shen had put it this way, Su Yang definitely had to praise her. Hence, he smiled and said, “Mr. Shen, thank you for your efforts.”

Mr. Shen smiled and waved his hand. “Oh, Mr. Su, you’re most welcome. We don’t have to be so distant since we’re so close. Plus, your matters are of utmost importance to me.”

Mr. Shen sounded so sincere as if he was telling the truth. However, Su Yang had [Heaven’s Eyes] activated...

[Heaven’s Eyes]: False.

Mr. Shen said, “That’s why I treated your matter as though it were my own.”

[Heaven’s Eyes]: False.

Mr. Shen said, “The last time I called you, I just wanted to ask if you had a better mortgage. I think there may have been some misunderstanding between us because of that.”

[Heaven’s Eyes]: False.

Su Yang could not hold back his laughter when he saw the false judgments from [Heaven’s Eyes].

Because it was too funny.

Actually, Mr. Shen sounded very sincere and even his acting skills were very top notch. If it wasn’t for the fact that Su Yang had [Heaven’s Eyes] with him, he would probably have been fooled.

However... no matter how cunning a fox was, it could not escape the eyes of an expert hunter. Furthermore, Mr. Shen could not be considered to be a fox, he would probably be an old rabbit at best. Therefore, his true intentions were as clear as a book in front of [Heaven’s Eyes].

As Mr. Shen sincerely uttered those words, the judgment of falses dangled in front of Su Yang which was too hilarious for him.

However, other than those false statements, Mr. Shen’s next statements were much more sincere. He came up with many conditions that he could offer and he also suggested for Su Yang to state any dissatisfactions that he had. As long as it was within Mr. Shen’s capability, he would definitely get it done.

Su Yang did not push his luck and only asked for less interest on the loan. In the end, Mr. Shen waved his hand and said that the interest fees would be waived.

At that moment, Su Yang thought that Mr. Shen had been brainwashed.

‘Zero interest?

‘Is the bank not intending to make any money?’

However, Su Yang could only believe that Mr. Shen was not lying to him when he saw the [Heaven’s Eyes] judging his statement to be true.

Hence, Su Yang had a direct understanding of the effect of the Silver ability [Absolute Verbal Contract]. ‘This ability is really awesome!

‘After all, I’ve just personally witnessed the entire process of Mr. Shen fulfilling his promise despite his unwillingness...’

After the meal, Su Yang’s loan application with Mr. Shen was completed.

The 50 million yuan would be loaned for 8 months with zero interest. The collateral would be the box office of “Fighting The Buddha” and Su Yang’s Ferrari.

This result was out of Su Yang’s expectations. Not only was there no interest, but he did not even have to mortgage his own company’s shares. He only needed to place the box office of “Fighting The Buddha” and his Ferrari as collateral.

‘This is such a huge bargain.

‘Of course, the Ferrari’s owner’s certificate would be taken away as collateral instead of the bank driving away the entire car. Hence, it doesn’t affect my daily usage.’

Actually, for Mr. Shen, this matter was very easy to understand because he had always thought that Jiadian Pictures was an empty shell company. The shares of an empty shell company were completely worthless.

The only thing of value in Jiadian Pictures was the big hit movie “Fighting The Buddha”.

On the other hand, Su Yang did not agree to mortgaging the copyrights. Moreover, mortgaging the box office of the movie would be too little to be collateral. Hence, he asked Su Yang if there was anything that could be mortgaged.

Su Yang then thought of his Ferrari.

After asking for the model, Mr. Shen decided to use it as collateral since it was worth 5 to 6 million yuan.

After the two of them were done with their discussion, the purpose of the lunch meeting had been achieved. After the meal, Mr. Shen took the documents that Su Yang had prepared and sent Su Yang out of the hotel along with his two subordinates.

Earlier, Pan Zhaodi had already gone to get the car. When the four of them went downstairs, she had parked the car at the entrance of the hotel.

Just like a professional gold medal secretary, she got out of the car and opened the door for Su Yang. Then, she held onto the car door and waited for Su Yang to get in.

Su Yang shook hands with the three of them again. He smiled and said goodbye before getting into the car.

Pan Zhaodi returned to the driver’s seat, buckled her seat belt and started the car.

Looking at the car’s tail lights disappearing into the distance, Mr. Shen’s male subordinate crept up to Mr. Shen and asked softly, “Mr. Shen, are you really going to help him, just like that?”
