Inside the apartment.
Zhang Taotao hung up the phone, looked at Su Tiannan and said, "Your brother asked me to borrow money. Does he know you are here with me? Is he testing me?!"
"Liuzi?" Su Tiannan was also stunned.
"Who else could it be? Your second brother is not very smart. Ever since you got into trouble, he has wanted to kill me. How could he possibly call me to borrow money?" Zhang Taotao pouted and replied.
"How much do you want to borrow?" Su Tiannan asked.
"He didn't say. I guess it's not too little, nor too much." Zhang Taotao frowned and looked at him: "What I'm worried about now is whether he knows that you are here with me? I tell you, I can take you in, but I can't let everyone know!!!"
Su Tiannan drank a mouthful of soup: "He doesn't know, the connection between us should not be a test."
"Then should I borrow it?" Zhang Taotao asked like a young wife. She didn't understand why she had to seek the opinion of this "deadbeat".
"Hehe." Su Tiannan looked at her and smiled inexplicably.
"... Uh, I... I mean, I know you better and I owe you a favor." Zhang Taotao immediately added.
Su Tiannan waved his hand and replied: "Don't explain, just tell me if you want to do it, I'm always ready."
"You're sick!" Zhang Taotao stood up and was about to leave.
"If you have enough money, lend it to him." Su Tiannan shouted, "If I can't pay you back, I will sell my eggs to pay you back."
Zhang Taotao rolled her eyes: "Go ahead and take your shit!"
Su Tiannan smiled at Zhang Taotao's back, and suddenly felt that being a "gangster" was quite cool. In the past, he was too serious and paid too much attention to his personal image, always giving people the feeling of being mature beyond his years, so his life was very boring and not fun.
After the two of them finished communicating, Zhang Taotao called Su Tianyu: "Tell me, how much?"
"Five hundred, Mr. Zhang?" Su Tianyu asked.
"Yes, when will it be returned?" When Zhang Taotao talked about business, she was no different from a man, straightforward and efficient.
"Within a year, I'll charge you interest."
"Let me make it clear in advance. I like to say the ugly things in advance." Zhang Taotao replied seriously: "If you are really short of money, you can tell me that I will pay you back in two years, but if you say one year, you must keep your promise and pay me on time. Don't let me rush you, and don't drag it out."
Su Tianyu smiled: "Don't worry, I will do what I say."
"Send me the account number and I'll have someone call you shortly."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang. Our friendship will last forever!"
"... Yeah!" Zhang Taotao hung up the phone and went to the bathroom.
…
Inside the Old Triangle Seaview Hotel, Su Tianyu was looking at the phone with a playful smile on his face.
"What are you so beautiful about?" Su Tianbei asked in confusion.
"... I asked her to borrow money, but she hung up first, saying that her dog had pooped." Su Tianyu looked at him and asked, "She called me and asked me directly how much I wanted to borrow. Don't you think it's a bit weird?"
Su Tianbei asked innocently, "What's so strange about it? Is it because it feels so good?"
"Yes, it feels good. I thought she would reject me for five hundred." Su Tianyu nodded.
"Fuck, does she like you?" Su Tianbei asked after thinking for a while.
Su Tianyu looked at his second brother like he was an idiot: "... How did you come to this point in your analysis?"
"Five million, is that a small number? If she lends it to you casually, either she has something to ask of you, or she definitely wants to seduce you." Su Tianbei replied.
Su Tianyu looked at him speechlessly and asked, "Where did you run to, brother?"
"Area one!" Su Tianbei replied.
"Do you know where Zhang Taotao is recently?" Su Tianyu asked again.
Su Tianbei suddenly understood what was going on. He slapped his thigh and said, "I know! You mean, Zhang Taotao helped Dasha escape from prison. They were together!"
“…!”
Su Tianyu looked at him and stood up: "Get lost, no more chatting!"
"You leave your words unsaid, which is quite annoying, do you know that?!" Su Tianbei also stood up.
…
night.
Before Su Tianyu went to find Jiangzhou, he met with Gui Mengjun in private.
"Brother-in-law, I'm in a dilemma right now." Su Tianyu smoked a cigarette and said to Gui Mengjun at the door of the villa, "Jiangzhou wants to sell me a factory at half price."
Gui Mengjun thought for a moment: "That steel factory?"
"Yes!" Su Tianyu nodded.
"Isn't that a good thing?" Gui Mengjun immediately understood the reason: "You are a popular person around Lao Li, and he wants to make friends with you."
"I know that, but I can't promise him anything. I'm afraid I'll take this advantage in vain and won't be able to repay the favor in the future." Su Tianyu replied with a blink.
"What do you mean?"
"If I don't accept it, it seems like I'm not giving him face." Su Tianyu sighed, "Alas, the most important thing is that I'm afraid he will understand this as me deliberately drawing a line between us... You said that the arms business is still going on, and I'm bound to need his help in the future, and I don't want to embarrass him."
Gui Mengjun nodded slowly: "You have considered it very carefully."
"That must be thorough!" Su Tianyu whispered his thoughts: "So, this is what I think...!"
After listening to Su Tianyu's plan, Gui Mengjun nodded slowly: "Yes, this is fine! It doesn't explicitly reject Jiangzhou, but it also brings the relationship closer. It's very smart!"
"Brother-in-law, don't praise me." Su Tianyu immediately waved his hand: "The plan is good, but it's a bit difficult now."
"What's the difficulty?" Gui Mengjun asked.
"I just need money." Su Tianyu replied, "The financial power of Tongji Association is not in my hands, and Jiangzhou's intention is very clear. He doesn't want to use favors with the association... But I don't have that much money myself."
When Gui Mengjun heard this, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
"… What do you think we should do?" Su Tianyu asked with a smile.
"Take out a loan. It's more convenient." Gui Mengjun responded immediately.
"I borrowed so much money in Longcheng, I can't hide it from the association and Lao Li, I don't want them to know." Su Tianyu said with his hands behind his back: "Alas, although my family has never been poor, I have never had any rich relatives. Now this person, don't talk about money, he will pretend to be confused when you talk about it, it's difficult to deal with!"
Gui Mengjun blinked his eyes and said, "Yeah, let's not talk about money now."
"… Oh, forget it, I'll let my third sister and I figure it out." Su Tianyu waved his hand and replied, "She has two classmates who are involved in loan business."
"I thought you were shameless, but I didn't expect you to be so shameless." Gui Mengjun held back for a long time: "It turns out that you have to pay a price for calling me brother-in-law twice!"
"What brother-in-law are you talking about? Are you the rich relative?" Su Tianyu asked.
