92: Chapter 92 How dare the Construction Bank claim to be the largest bank in Kyoto?

After all this commotion,

several people nearby who had originally intended to buy mobile phones were scared away,

and business in the shop suddenly dropped significantly.

Of course, there were also a few people who were very curious,

gathering nearby to watch the spectacle.

The female sales assistant was getting a bit anxious;

seeing that the two of them were about to come to blows,

and knowing that the shop clerk had a very explosive temper,

she feared something unexpected might happen if they started fighting.

The female sales assistant was still very rational;

she quickly stepped forward to stand between the two of them

and said, "Calm down,

everyone calm down.

Harmony is precious.

How about this? I'll call our boss right away

and have him come over quickly. What do you think?

Sir,

please don't be in a hurry.

Sit here and wait for a moment,

okay?

Da Shachun, don't just stand there either,

go and pour a cup of water!"

The hot-tempered clerk gave a cold snort,

but he actually listened to the sweet-smiling sales assistant,

went to get a paper cup, poured some water,

and pushed it toward Chang Rongjun ungraciously.

Meanwhile,

the female sales assistant also hurriedly called Bai Jingqing.

Bai Jingqing had already returned from Kyoto long ago,

but he had been busy in the factory every day during this period,

still working hard to renovate the factory.

Hearing that someone was causing trouble in the shop,

he drove back immediately without stopping.

Outside, Xue Haixin quickly lowered his head,

leaning over the steering wheel,

for fear that Bai Jingqing would see him.

However, Bai Jingqing was busy dealing with the situation in the shop at the moment

and didn't notice his surroundings at all,

so he didn't notice the black Santana parked by the roadside.

As soon as Bai Jingqing entered the shop,

he heard Chang Rongjun shouting, "You big oaf,

pour me another cup of water!

This cup is too hot!"

Without needing to ask, Bai Jingqing knew who the troublemaker was.

Behind Chang Rongjun were several bank staff members,

all wearing bank uniforms.

He had seen them many times before,

so he knew these people must be from the bank.

However, he was still very puzzled,

wondering why people from the bank would come looking for him at this time.

He had already reached a settlement with the bank previously,

promising to repay in installments

and clear all those debts within a year.

He sized up the situation in the shop,

then stepped forward and asked, "Sir,

may I ask if there is a problem?"

Chang Rongjun looked Bai Jingqing up and down

and said, "Are you the boss?"

Bai Jingqing nodded. "That's right,

I am the boss.

You can tell me if there's anything."

Chang Rongjun immediately stood up.

Seeing this, Da Shachun

thought Chang Rongjun was going to attack,

so he also hurriedly stepped forward,

standing in front of Bai Jingqing,

looking as if he were protecting him.

"It's fine, Da Chun."

Bai Jingqing gently pushed Da Shachun aside,

facing Chang Rongjun himself,

neither humble nor arrogant,

not losing out in momentum at all.

Chang Rongjun continued, "I am the Branch Manager of the Kyoto region for Construction Bank.

I suppose you don't know me.

The few times you went to our bank for business before,

you were received by others,

so you probably haven't met me."

Bai Jingqing immediately showed an expression of realization. "Oh,

so it's the Branch Manager of Construction Bank.

My apologies for the lack of respect.

Then I wonder what brings you here today?"

Chang Rongjun nodded. "It's like this.

Previously,

you promised our bank staff to repay in installments.

However, after our comprehensive assessment,

we found that the amount of your debt is truly too massive.

Coincidentally, our bank's funds have been a bit tight lately,

so we're thinking of having you repay the loan now,

and it must be a full repayment.

I've brought these people here today to collect the debt."

Bai Jingqing didn't believe such a reason for a second.

With a little thought,

he knew someone must be targeting him.

And without even thinking, that person

must be from Li Xiang Technology.

After all, only Li Xiang Technology had enough influence

to be able to move a branch manager of Construction Bank.

Bai Jingqing said, "But didn't we agree before?

We've already reached an agreement.

How can it be changed so casually?

Right?

Especially in our banking industry,

integrity is paramount."

However, Chang Rongjun was already prepared. "This was indeed a dereliction of duty by our bank staff.

They didn't understand the actual operational status of the bank,

so they made the wrong decision.

I have already criticized them.

This is also why I, as a dignified bank manager,

have come to your place to collect the debt personally—

just to apologize to you first.

On the other hand,

although it was agreed upon,

it was only a verbal promise.

We didn't sign any formal protocol or contract, did we?

So this doesn't count as breaking faith, does it?

It can only be said that circumstances have changed,

and our bank is indeed short on cash right now.

Furthermore,

paying back what you owe

is only natural, isn't it?

How is it your turn to criticize us for being untrustworthy?"

Bai Jingqing nodded.

It seemed today's matter was indeed a bit tricky.

His initial investment in renovating the factory was huge,

and all the money he had earned had been poured into it.

He had very little cash flow on hand;

how could he possibly come up with the money to repay the debt?

However, just as Bai Jingqing was in a difficult position,

and just as Chang Rongjun was acting all high and mighty and overbearing,

thinking he had Bai Jingqing cornered,

another group of people suddenly walked in.

"Little Boss Bai,

is Little Boss Bai here?"

Hearing a hearty shout,

Bai Jingqing looked up

and found a stranger,

but behind him also followed several staff members in uniform,

seemingly also from a bank.

Seeing the newcomer, Chang Rongjun

frowned. "Brother,

are you also from a bank?

Are you also here to collect debt?"

The man who walked in sized up Chang Rongjun. "Collect what debt?

Which bank are you from?"

Chang Rongjun said, "We are from the Kyoto Construction Bank,

the largest bank in Kyoto!

Where are you from?

Also,

let me tell you,

we got here first.

If there's money in his account,

he has to pay us back first.

Which small bank are you from?

Hurry up and step back for me!"

Chang Rongjun was used to being pampered;

seeing a peer,

he looked down on them even more,

his tone just as arrogant.

The man, however, remained neither humble nor arrogant

and said coldly, "Oh?

Construction Bank?

Construction Bank even dares to say it's the largest bank in Kyoto?

Haven't you heard of the Central Bank?"

The Central Bank!

Hearing this name,

Chang Rongjun suddenly felt a chill down his spine,

could he have offended someone he shouldn't have?

One must know,

ordinary banks manage money,

but the Central Bank manages the banks!

So, although Construction Bank was the largest in scale,

it still had to be under the jurisdiction of the Central Bank.

At this moment, as this man spoke these words,

despite the hot weather,

Chang Rongjun suddenly felt a chill down his spine,

and his eyelids twitched.
