Chapter 491: The Annoying Politician

Zheng Qian closed his eyes slightly and lit a cigarette.

This Rahman was truly too good at playing the game, so much so that Zheng Qian sensed something strange. When things are unusual, there must be something fishy. He had indeed provided Rahman with significant financial support, but this felt a bit too intimate.

Wei Rusi did not speak; she knew she didn't need to remind Zheng Qian, as he was always clear-headed at critical moments.

He would certainly be able to sense Prince Rahman's intentions.

"Three hundred million USD is indeed not much, one could even say it's very cheap. I think, just hiring that Adrian fellow, along with such expensive material costs, would cost more than that, right? Not to mention other construction costs."

"How about this, I'll offer five billion USD. Go and ask for instructions."

"Tell His Highness Prince Rahman that the friendship between us should be worth more than three hundred million USD, right?"

Zheng Qian looked at him with a smile.

"I understand." The official stood up, bowed earnestly to Zheng Qian, and said seriously, "Please wait a moment, I will arrange this immediately. I believe His Highness the Prince will be very happy to hear this news."

He truly liked this building. Most importantly, it was a finished product; there was no need to wait, and it could be utilized immediately. This was what he truly valued. The cash flow he controlled was becoming increasingly massive, and he needed a bank.

As for the three hundred million USD mentioned by Rahman, Zheng Qian was actually already feeling some aversion.

This was the reason he disliked certain politicians; in the eyes of these people, everything was full of probing. Even though Zheng Qian had already shown such goodwill, he still wanted to see Zheng Qian's true thoughts again and again.

But at this stage, Zheng Qian could only play along with this game because he needed Rahman's help.

Zheng Qian had carefully studied the political system of Oman, especially its financial system. Rahman was a very ambitious person. If he became the Sultan, he would not drain the pond to catch the fish; he wanted to build up the country to fulfill his political aspirations.

Therefore, Zheng Qian did not need to worry about the situation where so much money in the bank would be investigated or confiscated by Rahman.

Because this action would destroy Oman's reputation as an "international financial safe haven."

Countless financial entities would withdraw from the country, fearing liquidation, and the consequences of that would be disastrous.

This was something Rahman would not want to see, and this was why Zheng Qian favored this place.

Not long after, the official returned to the room. Just as Zheng Qian had expected, this was another one of Rahman's damn probes, or perhaps just a means for him to amass wealth. With this, the ownership of the building was finalized. Plus, with Rahman's help, the approval for the bank's qualifications from the relevant Omani departments would also come down very soon.

"I didn't expect that after preparing for so long, the bank would finally start formal operations."

"Once we return to the country and apply to establish a branch in Shanghu, everything will fall into place. Now that we have the Prince of Oman as our backer, if he becomes the Sultan in the future... Zheng Qian, we can accomplish so much more in the future."

Having finally settled the matter, Wei Rusi said, excitedly shaking Zheng Qian's arm.

Sigh, this silly girl.

Lindsay shook her head helplessly. Looking at her now, she was just like a little girl whose head had been turned by love. She didn't know what kind of supernatural powers this Zheng Qian had, or was it that... his weapon was particularly impressive?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but blush. Goodness, why had she started becoming so dirty-minded too?

Of course, Zheng Qian still registered the Moon God under Wei Rusi's name.

The landmark building, worth five billion USD, was located right next to Rahman's official residence, in the very center of the city. Zheng Qian had also received a fifty-billion USD cashback from the system, over 350 billion Jiuzhou Currency.

Lindsay and the others had stayed in this city long enough, and the team had already been prepared for quite some time. Now that the headquarters building was confirmed, she immediately began arranging the procurement of office supplies, desks, chairs, and so on.

Plus some simple internal renovations, it was estimated that it would take about another month before they could officially begin operations.

Initially, Zheng Qian had thought that this bank would not be open to the public and would only serve as his own private treasury.

But upon Wei Rusi's suggestion, he prepared to carry out some normal external business, such as savings, wealth management, and so on. Only when the business lines were enriched, combined with various dazzling operations, could they truly cover their tracks.

"Why does it seem like the security at the official residence has become even tighter?"

As soon as Zheng Qian and Wei Rusi got out of the car, they sensed a strange atmosphere.

She furrowed her brows slightly and mused, "It is indeed a bit off; it doesn't look like a normal stress response after an assassination attempt. Based on the situation you described to me the other day, Rahman should have had prior experience with being assassinated. As a crown prince in a sense, he shouldn't be acting this much like he's facing a great enemy. Either that, or his days are numbered..."

"That's obviously impossible, so there's only one explanation: someone very dangerous is coming to kill him."

Zheng Qian said with a bitter smile, "Then should we get back in the car and have Vanekto take us to the hotel?"

Wei Rusi thought for a moment and slowly shook her head.

"Going to the hotel is certainly safer because the assassin's target is not you. In other words, by the same logic, since the person he wants to kill isn't you, why should we leave? Besides, this is currently the honeymoon period between you and Rahman."

"If you know there is danger and are still willing to stay by his side, he will certainly trust you even more. Don't miss this opportunity."

Zheng Qian was not a fool; after being enlightened by Wei Rusi, he nodded in agreement. On one hand, it was as she said; on the other hand, it also invisibly expressed his attitude to Rahman—that he was willing to stand with him through thick and thin.

Having just spent five billion USD as a tribute to him, combined with this action, it further deeply bound the two together.

After this battle, Rahman would become an incredibly solid backer for Zheng Qian.

Vanekto stood far away outside the door. Seeing the two enter the residence, his dark pupils flickered slightly. He moved his mouth, but in the end, he did not call out to them.

Zheng Qian insisted that the two of them stay in the same room under the pretext of needing to protect Wei Rusi.

Surprisingly, she did not refuse.

Upon entering the room, the atmosphere immediately became subtle.

"Alright, now that the most important matter is settled, we can discuss the arrangements for returning to the country. Wei Rusi, I've said that my patience is not very good. While I'm still in the mood to talk to you properly, you'd better tell me everything you know."

Zheng Qian lit a cigarette, sat on the sofa in a relaxed manner, and looked at Wei Rusi indifferently.

The latter sat quietly opposite him, sighed slightly, and said:

"Do you know about the Four Big Families: Chiang, Soong, Kung, and Chen?"
