Chapter 321: Chapter 261 Repayment (Seeking Subscriptions!)_1
Tang Qing stayed up late that night, carried away by a sudden urge to paint and didn’t sleep until after four in the morning.
After nearly a week of practice, his ink painting skills had improved significantly. He was even considering getting a seal engraved and choosing an ’artistic name’ so he could give away more paintings. Who knows, he might even become a renowned artist in the future.
Should he hold an art exhibition in the future?
It was quite a dilemma.
Two hours later, the newly-awakened Tang Qing learned he had earned more than 18 million RMB. However, he wasn’t excited at all, feeling that the amount was too small and that it wouldn’t even be paid into the system’s personal account. Moreover, the payment hadn’t been completed yet, so what was there to be happy about?
While tidying up his study after freshening up, Tang Qing received a call from Liu Qian. To Tang Qing, it felt like the next day, but for Liu Qian, it was just a while after returning to the farm.
Tang Qing smiled and pressed the answer button, guessing that Liu Qian must have made sure he was awake and was calling to thank him.
"Uncle Liu, how’s everything going in the United States? Everything’s going smoothly, right?" Tang Qing asked knowingly.
How could he admit he knew everything? He had to act ignorant. The security guards were with Liu Qian all the time, so he wouldn’t have had the time to send any messages out. He could explain away knowing about the robbers, but he had to pretend to be oblivious to the wolf intrusion.
Liu Qian chuckled softly. Naturally, he assumed Tang Qing knew nothing and couldn’t tell him. Instead, he said, "Everything’s been fine, just a few minor hitches, but they’ve all been resolved. I want to thank you for lending us the bodyguards who saved us twice. I’m calling to thank you specifically and hope you can pass my gratitude to the friend who helped us."
Liu Qian had tried to get the security guard’s contact information but was declined by him. Having no alternatives, they got a bank account number from the bodyguard to pay the remuneration.
Mu Jian had somebody look into it and found that the bank account was owned by an American, opened just six days ago. No other information was obtainable. It was clear that this was a real name ’anonymous’ account, so Tang Qing was responsible for expressing gratitude.
Under normal circumstances, Chai Ren and Mu Jian wouldn’t have paid such a high remuneration. It was 2005 and over 28 million RMB was a huge sum which was worth far more than it is today. They valued their lives, but their money wasn’t easily come by either. The main reason they paid so much was to curry favor with the power behind the bodyguard. The United States isn’t a peaceful country, nor are many other countries in the world. Given their special status and wide range of activities, it would be helpful to have a trump card in case something happens.
"Minor issues? You guys are okay then, right?" Tang Qing faked concern.
Liu Qian laughed, "We’re perfectly fine. We’re currently on holiday at a farm. The environment is excellent with beautiful landscape. You should bring some friends along next time."
There was a promise made by Mu Jian on their way back, or else he wouldn’t have dared to mention it casually.
"Hehe, sounds good. Will expenses be reimbursed?" Tang Qing jokingly asked.
"Haha, food, accommodation, plane tickets, shopping, everything will be reimbursed. You just focus on spending money," Liu Qian laughed heartily.
This was something Mu Jian and others didn’t promise. Liu Qian had to fork out the money himself, but he was happy to do so. During this trip, not only did the bodyguard save them twice, he also boosted Liu Qian’s reputation and helped him establish a deep relationship with two young masters. What’s a little money compared to that?
"I’m flattered then," Tang Qing replied in surprise. He hadn’t expected Liu Qian and others to be so generous towards him. It appeared that the 28 million RMB was given to his non-existent friend, while this was his reward for recommending the bodyguard to them.
"You little guy, acting all modest. Wait for it. I’m going to buy gifts for you guys," Liu Qian responded with a laugh.
"Oh? That’s nice. I’ll be getting a gift then. Hehe, I don’t want any ordinary gifts though," Tang Qing began asking for gifts. He wouldn’t pass up on a chance to get something for free.
"Haha, don’t worry, how could Uncle possibly give an ordinary gift?" Liu Qian said with a light laugh.
"Hehe, then I’ll thank Uncle Liu in advance." Tang Qing said gratefully, then changed the topic "By the way, Uncle Liu, I’ll just return the remaining one hundred million RMB to you later." The ’change’ in his pocket is now approaching two hundred million, it’s no use leaving it. He originally planned to return it on the fifth, but since he caught up, it’s the same as returning it today.
"I’m in no hurry, if you need it, just keep using it, it’s interest-free. You can return it whenever you want." Liu Qian said generously when he heard it. This money is very likely being used by Tang Qing’s friend, the Fighter’s backstage boss, he didn’t dare to rush to collect the debt, and didn’t even want the interest. It’s not that he’s afraid, but that he wants to keep both sides’ ’interests’ relation. 𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
"No need, we have already made good use of it, there’s no use keeping this money here." Tang Qing declined, it’s just one hundred million, it’s not much money here, three or four days of arbitrage is enough. Although Dou Jiao’s industrial expansion plan hasn’t come out yet, even if it does, there are too many places where he can borrow money. Liu Qian’s strength is no longer enough to satisfy his appetite.
"Little Tang, isn’t your Sheng Tang Apparel expanding? Use this money for Sheng Tang, or for your Sky Eye Company." Liu Qian suggested again. He really didn’t want Tang Qing to return this money.
"Thanks again, Uncle, the capital injection for Sheng Tang and Sky Eye has been completed. There’s basically nowhere to use money, so Uncle, please don’t persuade me anymore." Tang Qing said.
Seeing Tang Qing insist, Liu Qian didn’t persuade him anymore, it seems he really isn’t short of money.
"All right then, if you need to borrow money in the future, just tell Uncle. Don’t be shy." Liu Qian said.
"No problem, I will transfer the one hundred million RMB to you in a few minutes. Give me an account." Tang Qing said.
"Okay, wait a minute, let me find the card... Yeah, deposit into this ICBC account, XXXX." Liu Qian found a bank card from his luggage and said. This card was prepared for this repayment long ago and has other uses. He did not use the account he used to transfer money to Tang Qing previously.
Tang Qing repeated it and, confirming there was no mistake, said: "I’ve written it down on paper. Uncle Liu, I have to go to school. You relax and rest there. Otherwise, you’ll be busy everywhere when you get back." It doesn’t cost anything to show concern, and Liu Qian has never shown off in front of him, especially the initial loan of three hundred million that didn’t even require an IOU. For this trust, Liu Qian deserves his respect and concern.
"Good, good, understood. You too, hurry up and go to school. Goodbye." Liu Qian said with a smile. He felt comforted by Tang Qing’s concern, just like a junior.
"All right, Uncle Liu, goodbye."
With that, Tang Qing hung up the phone.
But Liu Qian waited until Tang Qing hung up before he did. This habitual action is usually reserved for leaders and those he cannot afford to offend. But Tang Qing’s influence is becoming bigger and more mysterious, and more and more important. He is already qualified to be treated this way.
Immediately afterwards, Tang Qing ordered the system to transfer one hundred million RMB to Liu Qian’s account.
In less than half a minute, he received a text message from Liu Qian confirming the receipt of the money.
As of now.
All of Tang Qing’s foreign debts have been paid off.
