107: A 10 billion yuan gift!

Elder Xiao merely furrowed his brows.

Wu Zhengliang stood up immediately, feeling nervous.

"Elder Xiao, it really is just that. I have long admired you and wanted to visit you on behalf of the Jiangcheng Preparedness Zone!"

In truth, how could he dare to state his real intentions?

Seeing how highly Elder Xiao regarded Zhang Yu, who was actually sitting in the hall with a status higher than everyone else present.

Consequently, he couldn't bring himself to say anything.

Ever since the last time Ma Weiguo's men had their mechanical equipment smashed by a group of people.

And they were unable to trace the origins of that group no matter what they did.

Wu Zhengliang realized that someone must be protecting Zhang Yu behind the scenes.

Or, there was another possibility: Zhang Yu's abilities were powerful enough to command such a mysterious organization to work for him.

Therefore.

He wanted to use Elder Xiao's connections to have the Information Unit thoroughly investigate Zhang Yu's background.

Because Elder Xiao's granddaughter was a major general in the Information Unit.

She had achieved many great merits, and with the equipment and technology at the Information Unit's disposal, it would be extremely easy to investigate anyone.

So, upon learning that Elder Xiao had come to Jiangcheng.

Wu Zhengliang wanted to use his connections as quickly as possible to uncover the truth behind this matter.

However, all these thoughts vanished the moment he saw Zhang Yu in the hall.

Who would dare to bring it up now?

Elder Xiao had already placed him in such a high position; he wasn't a fool!

"That's good then," Elder Xiao smiled.

"You are all prominent figures from various sectors here in Jiangcheng. I am very happy that you came to see me. I hope you will continue to strive for excellence."

"That goes without saying," the people from the military, political, and business circles all nodded and said.

"By the way," Elder Xiao said, "Regarding Mr. Zhang Yu, some of you here may know him, and some may be meeting him for the first time."

"So, what I want to say is that in the future, I hope everyone will try to provide him with as much convenience as possible while he is in Jiangcheng, if only to give this old man some face."

"Elder Xiao, you are too modest!" Sha Ruikang quickly stood up and said, "I know Mr. Zhang Yu. He is young and promising, and he will certainly have even greater room for development in the future!"

Sha Ruikang was not only stating his position in front of Elder Xiao but also expressing his true thoughts.

Who could have imagined?

He had previously thought that Zhang Yu only had considerable achievements in business.

Now, even Elder Xiao, who was far away in the capital, valued him so highly. He didn't know the reason.

It was as if Zhang Yu were Elder Xiao's benefactor who had given him a new lease on life.

"Oh? Secretary Sha, are you familiar with Mr. Zhang?" Elder Xiao asked.

"That's right, Elder," Sha Ruikang nodded. "Actually, Mr. Zhang is currently preparing to establish a bank, and we are doing our best to help him smooth out all the necessary procedures."

"A private bank?" Xiao Yuhong, who was to the side, also recalled some news she had inadvertently seen on her phone.

"Secretary Sha, are you saying that the private bank is an enterprise under Zhang Yu?"

"That's correct, Major General Xiao," Sha Ruikang addressed Xiao Yuhong directly by her rank. "And that is only one of the enterprises under Zhang Yu."

"Ahem," Elder Xiao laughed.

"Since Mr. Zhang is opening a bank, I ask that everyone provide plenty of support regarding the capital."

"Rest assured, Elder Xiao!" Another person in the hall stated.

"We are prepared to deposit all of our company's cash reserves into Mr. Zhang's bank! It's not much, over 10 billion or so. Consider it a welcome gift for Mr. Zhang!"

Over 10 billion!

Zhang Yu couldn't help but glance at the man; he was one of the top wealthy individuals in Jingchu Province.

To have a cash flow of 10 billion was quite astonishing, indicating a very healthy financial situation.

"Then I thank you in advance," Zhang Yu said politely.

10 billion injected directly into the bank.

The bank would then use this money to issue loans and profit from the interest rate spread.

This was equivalent to starting a bank without any capital of his own.

For a bank, never mind 10 billion, even trying to secure 1 billion in deposits would require a tremendous amount of effort.

But now, just because of one word from Elder Xiao.

10 billion would be injected directly after the bank was officially established.

Just thinking about it, this pie falling from the sky was truly delicious.

Once this person stated his position, others followed suit, all expressing their willingness to provide whatever help they could to support the development of Zhang Yu's enterprises.

Zhang Yu did not stand on ceremony and accepted it all.

"Alright, since we've talked enough, everyone can disperse and go back," Elder Xiao yawned and stood up, looking sleepy.

"Grandfather, let me help you back to your room to rest for a while," Xiao Yuhong said.

"No need, you go see the guests off," Elder Xiao indicated that he was fine, then suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, Yuhong, do you have Zhang Yu's contact information?"

"Uh, not yet," Xiao Yuhong was taken aback for a moment, then said.

Today was only the second time she had met Zhang Yu, and they hadn't said much during their last meeting either.

"In that case, go ahead and add Zhang Yu's phone number and wechat so you can keep in touch more often," Elder Xiao said.

"Zhang Yu..." Xiao Yuhong felt helpless, but had no choice but to take out her phone and walk over to Zhang Yu.

He had already heard Elder Xiao's words earlier.

He also took out his phone, "Since it is the Elder's wish, let's exchange contact information."

After Xiao Yuhong saved his wechat and phone number.

She only then, in hindsight, began to detect a different tone in Zhang Yu's words.

"What does that mean?" she thought to herself. "Is Zhang Yu only exchanging contact information with me because of my grandfather's face? Am I not impressive enough in his eyes?"

After glancing at Zhang Yu.

Xiao Yuhong felt her competitive spirit being ignited.

Who doesn't know of my reputation in the military?

And I am the number one beauty in the military to boot.

I don't know how many high-ranking officials and noble families want to become relatives of the Xiao Family.

This Zhang Yu is truly unique.

In his eyes, one cannot see a hint of lewdness or expectation toward her.

His gaze and tone were calm and polite, without any ulterior motives.

This actually left Xiao Yuhong at a loss.

For the first time in her life, she began to doubt herself, feeling a bit insecure.

Elder Xiao watched his granddaughter's expression.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl into a smile; this was interesting.

It was the first time he had seen such an expression on his granddaughter's face.

It seems this Zhang Yu arrived at just the right time.

Perhaps his granddaughter's lifelong marriage prospects could be resolved.

He didn't know what Zhang Yu's current relationship status was.

Elder Xiao knew that he had immense charm and would attract countless girls.

However, regardless of that, he still wanted to think more for his granddaughter and create more opportunities.

Therefore.

Elder Xiao said to Zhang Yu: "Mr. Zhang, I will still be in Jiangcheng for the next few days. Please come by often when you are free to help me with my health."

"Elder, you are too polite. I will come whenever I have time!"
