Guwan City.
In just a few moments.
Those past memories had already appeared in Ye Chen's mind with extreme clarity.
Zhang Jingshan.
Although he hadn't interacted with this name in his previous life, it wasn't unfamiliar either!
He had a Grandpa who was the former leader of Jingzhou.
He had a Father who was the Chairman of a construction company.
He single-handedly founded Yunshan Network Company, which would soon become 'popular' across the entire network.
But these family backgrounds weren't what triggered Ye Chen's memory.
What made Ye Chen remember this name was a trending search from his previous life.
The cause was a female streamer!
And she was a female streamer under his network company!
In the video that caused a sensation across the entire network due to the trending search.
Ye Chen clearly remembered that Zhang Jingshan, with the female streamer's half-hearted resistance, forced himself upon her, but he didn't know the female streamer had already installed a camera at home and recorded the entire process.
Ye Chen didn't know exactly what caused the female streamer to burn bridges and expose the video online.
But he knew it was the female streamer's desperate act that not only ruined Zhang Jingshan.
It also ruined his Father, and precisely because of that so-called 'rape' incident, various aspects of the Zhang Family were exposed, including revelations about his Father's construction company cutting corners on municipal public welfare projects!
Just as the Zhang Family father and son were mired in a public opinion crisis, misfortune piled upon misfortune, and the event that broke the camel's back occurred. On the construction site of a project undertaken by the Zhang Family, due to negligence in construction, several workers accidentally died on site!
This completely pushed the Zhang Family to the cliff of perdition. The Zhang Family Old Master was so angry he vomited blood and passed away a few months later.
Zhang Jingshan and his Father were sentenced to prison, Zhang Jingshan's network company went bankrupt, and he became a rat crossing the street that billions of netizens wanted to beat.
A promising family future was thus destroyed and lost in public opinion.
However, what was regrettable was.
The Zhang Family's affairs were only vindicated several years later.
Zhang Jingshan's 'rape' was a setup, a deliberate frame-up.
As for his Father's construction company, regarding the cutting corners, it was actually the person in charge's feigned compliance. It was the person in charge who, to get kickbacks, concealed the truth from Zhang Jingshan's Father and secretly replaced materials, resulting in the cutting corners.
As for the site accident that took several lives, there's nothing to say, it was indeed an accident, due to carelessness during construction. However, given the public opinion situation the Zhang Family was facing at the time, this naturally became the last straw that broke the camel's back!
Unfortunately, by the time these were made public, it was already several years later...
Thinking of this.
Thinking that Zhang Jingshan was buying it to give to the former leader of Jingzhou, who had been incorruptible his whole life.
Ye Chen also didn't want to haggle over the price anymore.
He didn't care about earning those extra hundred thousand yuan. After all, there would be plenty of opportunities to make money later, and three hundred thousand yuan was enough to fill the high-interest loan hole.
"Alright, although the value of this prayer bead bracelet should be more than three hundred thousand, I'm too lazy to haggle anymore. Three hundred thousand it is!"
Nodding, Ye Chen said.
However, he didn't plan to warn Zhang Jingshan about the imminent crisis.
Not to mention whether the other party would believe him if he said it.
Given his relationship with the other party, which was just a chance encounter, he also felt there was no need to meddle in so many unnecessary affairs, to avoid bringing trouble upon himself...
Hopefully, this bracelet with supreme Buddhist affinity can change the course of their Zhang Family...
"Okay, I'll transfer the money to you now!"
Zhang Jingshan smiled heartily.
Just as he was about to take out his phone, he realized he had left in a hurry and not only forgot his phone but also his wallet!
"Jingshan, what's wrong?" Seeing Zhang Jingshan suddenly freeze, Lu Cheng asked in surprise.
Three hundred thousand, buying this prayer bead bracelet, might make him seem like a fool to others, but given to the Old Leader, it would be a huge bargain!
Why was he hesitating now?
"Lu Bo, I forgot to bring my wallet and phone!" Zhang Jingshan said awkwardly, looking at Lu Cheng.
"Ah? This..." Lu Cheng was stunned.
"Lu Bo, do you think you could..."
Before he could finish, Lu Cheng seemed to know what he was about to say, "Don't look at me, I only have tens of thousands in my savings passbook, and it's at home! How about calling your Dad and asking him to bring the money?"
Little did he know, Zhang Jingshan stubbornly said without thinking.
"No, I won't look for him unless someone else does!"
Lu Cheng said, "Then what should we do?"
Zhang Jingshan looked at Ye Chen, saying awkwardly and with difficulty, "Buddy, look... how about you come back with me to get the money? Or you could give me a card number, and I'll transfer it to you later?"
When he said these words, Zhang Jingshan couldn't help but blush.
After all, how foolish would the other party have to be to agree?
As Zhang Jingshan expected.
Ye Chen shook his head.
But what he didn't expect and found unbelievable was yet to come.
"Never mind, I don't have my bank card with me, so I can't give you a card number! How about this, you go back and get the money ready, then call me when you're done. I'll just come over to pick it up, it'll be easier for everyone!" Ye Chen said.
Uh...
As soon as these words were spoken.
Not only were Zhang Jingshan and Lu Cheng dumbfounded, but was there really someone this easy to deal with? Wasn't he afraid they would take the item back and not pay?
And the stall owner who just sold the prayer bead bracelet to Ye Chen, as well as the other stall owners nearby.
Their mouths were twitching uncontrollably.
This guy, this guy isn't a fool, is he?
He's letting someone take three hundred thousand yuan worth of goods. After the other party takes it back, how could they possibly still pay? In this whole world, where would he find them?!
However, how could they know what Ye Chen was thinking?
With Zhang Jingshan's capability, how could he default on this three hundred thousand yuan debt to him?
Especially since this was bought for his family's Old Master...
"You trust me that much? Aren't you afraid I'll default and not pay?" Zhang Jingshan asked, stunned and disbelieving.
"You don't look like someone who would default!" Ye Chen smiled.
"Uh..."
Was this reason far-fetched?
There was nothing more far-fetched than this!
So much so that Zhang Jingshan felt the person in front of him was truly too damn simple-minded!
...
"Lu Bo, do you think that guy is honest or simple-minded? But looking at him, he doesn't seem like a simple, honest person either!"
Carefully holding that prayer bead bracelet.
Ultimately, Zhang Jingshan and Lu Cheng, who didn't take Ye Chen back to get the money, walked out of Guwan City side by side.
"Jingshan, the value of that prayer bead bracelet is more than three hundred thousand! Or rather, he knows the value is more than three hundred thousand!" Lu Cheng said solemnly.
"Huh? Then he still sold it to me?" Zhang Jingshan said, startled.
"From his micro-expressions, he wasn't planning to sell it at first, but I noticed he changed his mind after hearing your name!" Lu Cheng said.
Zhang Jingshan became even more confused, "I don't know him either, I have no impression of such a person at all! Also, you said he changed his mind after hearing my name, so what is he after?"
"That's true!"
Lu Cheng shook his head and smiled, his thoughtful expression fading as he said, "Perhaps he's heard your name, knows you are the Old Leader's grandson, and knows you are the CEO of Yunshan Network Company, so he's certain you wouldn't be short of just three hundred thousand!"
"That makes sense!"
Zhang Jingshan smiled, "Alright, let's quickly go back to the company to prepare the money for him first. What era is this? He still wants me to get cash for him. Online transfers are so convenient. This feels like a black market transaction!"
