NOVEL NEXT Chapter 58
Chapter 58: Hothouse Blossoms
Aunt Liu choked up, struggling to articulate her thoughts.
Fang Jian felt uneasy as he listened to her. However, he also knew it wasn’t deliberate on her part because, based on what he understood, his master had taken great care of Aunt Liu.
While flowers in a greenhouse are undoubtedly attractive, they wouldn’t fare well once they lose their shelter and experience the elements of the natural world.
Nowadays, many parents tend to protect their children excessively. In fact, it’s not necessarily positive for the children themselves because they will have to take control of their own lives sooner or later. At that time, if they face setbacks, the consequences can be severe. Their entire lives may be adversely affected.
Fang Jian took a deep breath. Despite his deep concern and impatience, he suppressed his anger. “Aunt Liu, how much money do you need?”
“One hundred million,” Aunt Liu stammered.
One hundred million?
Are you joking?
I’m just a disciple of my master, someone who called him “master” for two years.
How can you ask me to lend you two hundred million?
If I didn’t know what kind of person you are, I might have encountered a scam at this moment.
“Fang Jian, I have no other options left, really no options. All our relatives and friends have heard about what happened to Lao Wang, and no one is willing to lend me money…”
Did something happen to my master?
Could he be seriously ill? That was Fang Jian’s first thought.
But what kind of illness would require a treatment cost of one hundred million?
“All right, Aunt Liu, stop crying,” Fang Jian advised. “What happened to my master?”
“Lao Wang, he… I can’t explain it clearly.”
Fang Jian felt his eyes darken. No wonder they say it’s difficult to please women and villains!
Although Fang Jian knew that wasn’t the true meaning of the saying when faced with a woman like this, the resentment in his heart… It’s better not to mention it!
“Okay, Aunt Liu, where are you? I’ll come over immediately, and we can talk in person.” Fang Jian hesitated for a moment, afraid that Aunt Liu might do something impulsive.
After all, he had no expectations left for this panicking and confused woman.
So he added, “I’ll lend you one hundred million.”
“Huh?” Aunt Liu on the other end of the line suddenly stopped crying. With a mix of surprise and joy, she said, “Okay, okay, thank you, thank you, Fang Jian.”
After saying that, she hung up the phone with a “click.”
Fang Jian was dumbfounded. What does this mean? This kind of behavior is truly incomprehensible.
Why did you hang up on me? I can’t explain the details of the situation clearly, but please give me an address.
What kind of bizarre person did the master end up marrying?
Fang Jian’s temples twitched twice, speechless about his master’s choice of partner.
However, a thought crossed my mind.
Could she have encountered something uncontrollable and had no choice but to hang up?
Or maybe she was coerced?
Although Fang Jian knew this possibility was unlikely, she is my master’s wife, and I don’t want anything unexpected to happen.
Without hesitation, he immediately dialed Zhang Liang’s phone number.
“Zhang Liang, I have something I want to ask for your help… and the help of the people behind you,” Fang Jian said seriously.
Originally sitting leisurely in his chair, Zhang Liang immediately sat up straight. He knew exactly what things our company was procuring for the country. These things had enormous demand and a significant gap in supply.
But now? So Zhang Liang understood very well the importance of what I was doing.
However, these matters often went against the interests and laws of certain major powers. Thus, they were highly dangerous. Zhang Liang believed he must know the weight of the people supporting him. If I had involved them, the situation would have been urgent, and he couldn’t decide independently.
“Smack…”
Zhang Liang reached out and opened a lid on his desk, then forcefully pressed a button underneath. Immediately, in a certain place, a piercing alarm sounded.
Zhang Liang took a deep breath and said, “Fang Jian, what kind of help do you need?”
Without hesitation, he replied, “I want to ask you to investigate a former company employee named Wang Huan. I want to know his current situation, and also, forget it. You handle this matter first. Goodbye.”
Zhang Liang was utterly confused, wearing a puzzled expression. He couldn’t make head or tail of what was happening.
