Upon hearing Mingtai's rejection, Cheng Jinyun's pretty face suddenly turned crimson with anger.
After a long while, he suppressed his anger and said word by word: "Can you please listen to what I have to say first?"
However, Mingtai seemed to be determined, spreading his hands and saying, "I advise you to save it! Even if you say hell, I can't help you. I have to go to the Navy Club to attend the victory celebration of the North China battlefield in the evening!"
"Pah!" Before Mingtai could finish what he said, Cheng Jinyun finally couldn't help but slap the counter hard, shocking everyone in the store.
Mingtai was so frightened that he apologized to the others. At the same time, he pulled Cheng Jinyun to a corner and said inexplicably: "Are you crazy?"
"You're crazy!" Cheng Jinyun replied rudely, "I want to borrow some money from you."
Mingtai couldn't help but feel a little amused after hearing this, "Good guy, this is the first time I've seen a manager act so confidently when borrowing money!"
"Then do you want to borrow it or not?"
"Yes, yes, but there are conditions!"
"What conditions?"
"Tell me why you borrowed the money, and whether the money was borrowed in your own name, or..."
"Of course it's in my own name! I can't..." At this point, Cheng Jinyun looked around cautiously and made sure no one was eavesdropping before lowering his voice and continued, "I can't just watch so many good people.
Comrade, are you going to pick up the enemy's arsenal with your machete and spear?"
"Isn't it right? Is your party in such difficulty now? Are you lying to me?" Mingtai said with a look of disbelief.
"Hey! I can't explain this kind of thing to you in just a few words, so just tell me whether you want to borrow it or not! Just give me a nice word, and it will be too late if you delay it any longer!"
As soon as these words came out, Mingtai couldn't help but be stunned, "Wha... why is it too late?"
"In a little while, Uncle Li will leave for Suzhou to negotiate with black market merchants."
"Negotiating with black marketeers? What a shame you can think of that! Those guys are bosses who only care about money but not people. If you want to befriend them, do you believe they can sell you out if you turn around?"
After saying that, Mingtai glanced around subconsciously and asked in a low voice: "How much do you want?"
"Twelve... no, ten, ten yellow croakers!" Cheng Jinyun bit his lip and said tentatively.
When Mingtai heard this, his eyes widened unconsciously, "How much? Did your people come here empty-handed?"
"Otherwise? Do you think the Japanese-Puppet blockade outside is so easy to break through?"
"That's true." Mingtai said in agreement after hearing this, but then he frowned again, "But I can't get that many yellow croakers at this moment!"
"That's right..." Cheng Jinyun glanced at his watch anxiously, "It doesn't matter, then I'll think of other ways."
After saying that, he felt a little disappointed and prepared to leave.
He didn't want to but was grabbed by Mingtai, "Wait a minute! In this way, leave the yellow croaker matter to me to figure out a solution. You can go to the cafe opposite and wait for me. I'll be back as soon as I go!"
After saying that, he ignored Cheng Jinyun's call, turned around and left the store quickly...
"What did you say? Ten pieces of yellow croaker?" In the office, Li Qiang, who had just moved, was still hot on his butt. Mingtai came over and saw ten pieces of yellow croaker as soon as he opened his mouth. Li Qiang immediately heard Li Qiang's words.
He bounced up on his chair and said angrily, "I said you were gambling outside? Or you took out a loan shark? Or what are you doing with the yellow croakers?"
"Hey, Brother Aqiang, please stop asking so carefully and help first, okay?"
"It's OK for emergency purposes, but you have to let me know how the money is used, right?"
"I……"
Seeing Mingtai's hesitant look, Li Qiang vaguely guessed his true intention, so he narrowed his eyes and said: "Forget it, since you don't want to say it, I won't force you, but now I have
There aren’t that many yellow croakers, can legal currency be used?”
"this……"
Just when Mingtai was still hesitating, Li Qiang slammed the table, startling him immediately.
"What are you doing? Brother Aqiang, you scared me!"
"What for?" Li Qiang snorted and said angrily, "I should be the one to ask you this, right? If you don't tell me honestly, what are you going to buy on the black market if you want so much yellow croaker?
"
"Wha...what kind of black market? Brother Aqiang, you really know how to joke..." Mingtai replied with a guilty conscience.
However, Li Qiang also had a dark face and said word by word: "Do you think I am joking with you? I will give you one last chance. Do you want to say it or not? Do you want it or not?
To be honest, I don’t care about this matter!”
After saying that, Li Qiang stood up and prepared to leave. Now Mingtai had no choice but to tell everything about Cheng Jinyun asking him to borrow money.
However, Mingtai never expected that after hearing the whole story, Li Qiang just sat back on the chair silently, without any reaction for a long time.
And just when Mingtai was getting a little impatient in waiting, he unexpectedly noticed a strange smile suddenly appeared on Li Qiang's face, which made him feel terrified.
"Brother Aqiang, are you... okay?"
"Of course I'm fine." After saying that, Li Qiang waved to Mingtai mysteriously, and when he got closer, he lowered his voice and whispered a few words to him.
After finishing speaking, he took out an envelope from the drawer and handed it to Mingtai.
However, Mingtai did not leave after taking the envelope. Instead, he could not help but frown and said: "No, Brother Aqiang, even this kind of thing is within your calculations. Isn't this too ridiculous?"
Li Qiang snorted very proudly, "Otherwise, you are still too young! Remember, if you want to be an excellent pretender, you must use your brain more, keep an eye on everything, and be more considerate.
Make a plan."
"Okay, I'll remember it! Thanks, Brother A Qiang!" Mingtai obviously didn't want to listen to Li Qiang's nagging anymore, so he ran out as if he was running away.
As soon as he left, Li Qiang stood up and opened his office, and went straight to the door of Minglou's office.
"Knock knock knock..."
"Come in!"
Before he finished speaking, Li Qiang opened the door and walked in.
As soon as Li Qiang came in, Minglou quickly signed the document in his hand and handed it back to Secretary Li opposite, "The customs matters will be handled as stated in this document. You go and do your work first."
Bar!"
"Yes!" After saying that, Secretary Li took the folder and exited very wisely.
"How is it? The new office is not bad, isn't it?"
"So-so!" Li Qiang shrugged and said, "But there is one thing I am quite satisfied with."
"Which point?"
"It's not bugged."
Before he finished speaking, Minglou smiled and took out two exquisite and small eavesdropping devices from the drawer, put them on the table, and said with a smile: "It's not that they are not installed, but I have dismantled them. One is in the phone receiver."
, one is under the file cabinet, I already asked Cheng to secretly drop the bag, are you surprised?"
However, before he finished speaking, Li Qiang took out the two eavesdropping devices that Cheng used to exchange packages from his pocket and placed them on the desk in front of Minglou.
