Chapter 53: Helping an Old Acquaintance Build a Villa

  Leyi Tiejun felt a bit embarrassed when he saw outsiders present and stopped crying, taking advantage of the situation to stand up.

  "Li Yang, does your knee hurt? Are you injured? I just heard a loud thud, you must be hurt! Come, sit on the stool and let me rub it for you." The cashier's eyes curved into crescent moons as she spoke, her voice clear and pleasant. Li Yang was enchanted, obediently sitting down in the hydraulic plastic chair under her guidance.

  Before Li Yang could figure out what was going on, the cashier girl started massaging his knees gently.

  "Alright... alright... Hehe, it's a bit itchy. Let's get down to business first?" Li Yang's face flushed with two red clouds, and he turned his head to one side.

  At such a close distance, the little beauty's squatting posture happened to allow him to see the deep cleavage in front of her chest.

  Although Li Yang deliberately avoided it, the little beauty smiled and continued to give Li Yang a massage with a delicate touch. She said, "For us, every customer who comes to the bank for business is our God, and I am honored to serve Mr. Li."

  Lí Tiězhù sat on another hydraulic plastic swivel chair, and seeing Lí Yáng's impatient look, he smiled slyly: "The loud noise just now was me kneeling down, my knees hurt badly now, little girl come over and massage them for me."

  However, the cashier girl seemed to have not heard anything and continued to give Li Yang a massage. At the same time, she deliberately used her chest to touch Li Yang's arm, almost making his face blush bright red.

  "Let's just get the business done first, you guys will be off work soon, and my uncle is still waiting on the side. I'm really not in pain anymore, I'm not in pain at all. Why don't you give my uncle a massage instead?" Li Yang said with embarrassment.

  "Li Yang, my mother has a bad neck, so I learned massage specifically to help her. How does it feel? Is it comfortable? My name is Li Xiaohua, Mu Zizi Li, small and delicate like the lotus flower. If you don't recover quickly after going back, give me a call and I'll come to your place for free massage, haha."

  The beautiful woman finally let go of Li Yang, stood up and took out a business card from a rose-red wallet and put it in Li Yang's pocket. Then she walked away slowly, maybe this was her real intention all along.

  "Haven't heard that Industrial Bank not only saves and withdraws money, but also offers free massage services! Ah, little girl, I haven't even had a massage yet!" Lei Tiezhu exclaimed as he saw the little girl about to enter the bank from the outer hall.

  Li Xiaohua turned her head and smiled brightly: "Sir, your wound is bleeding, it's suitable for bandaging, not suitable for massage. After the business is done, you'd better go see a doctor."

  After finishing speaking, she walked away with a swaying butt, making Li Tiezhu both angry and amused. He muttered to himself: "What kind of reason is this? Through her pants, did that eye of hers see the blood flowing from my knee?"

  Li Xiaohua quickly returned to her seat, first smiling sweetly at Li Yang, and then exchanging a few sparkling glances with him. She asked softly, "Excuse me, Mr. Li Yang, how much money do you want to transfer to Mr. Li Tiezhu's card?"

  Li Yang hesitated for a moment, turned his head and asked Li Tiezhu: "How many people are there in our village now? How many households? If each household builds a small villa with a standard of 300,000 yuan, plus the cost of laying power lines, water pipes, and repairing roads, how much will it cost in total?"

  Li Tiezhu nodded thoughtfully, and soon came up with an answer: "Our whole village has six natural villages, more than 1,400 people, and more than 530 households. If each household spends 300,000 yuan to build a villa, just building houses would cost 150 million!"

  "There is a 50-kilometer-long winding mountain road leading to the town. If it's renovated into a 9-meter-wide cement road with two lanes, according to the standard of 5 million per kilometer, it would cost 250 million! Renovating the power lines and water pipes would require an estimated 70-80 million. In total, it would need 1.8 billion!"

  Li Yang nodded and said, "Only 1.8 billion? That's not a lot. How about this, I'll directly transfer 3 billion to you. Use the 800 million to pay for the labor and materials of the Fenglin Garden community, and use the remaining 2.2 billion to complete our new rural renovation project in Baozi Ridge."

  "Two billion two hundred million? That's too much!"

  "Hehe, building a new house doesn't require decorating and buying appliances? I'll just send it to the West and let's get everything done at once." Li Yang said with a light smile.

  Li Tiezhu's face was excited and on the verge of tears, Li Yang patted his broad shoulder to comfort him, then turned to smile at the equally shocked cashier beauty: "Did you hear that? Please transfer 300 million yuan from my card to Li Tiezhu's card."

  Li Xiaohua nodded, seemingly intentionally trying to please Li Yang. She processed their credit card and ID information, took photos of the two of them, and completed the transfer procedures in just five minutes.

  "Beep!"

  A soft beep, Li Tiezhu's mobile phone received a text message: Your Industrial and Commercial Bank credit card account with the last four digits 0038 has been credited with RMB 30,000,000.00, your current credit card balance is RMB 30,000,000.80.

  "Really, there are so many! Is there one less zero? Let me take another look... tens, hundreds, thousands, millions... billions, my god, it's really three billion! Yangzi, what should I say? If the brothers find out we have money, who knows how excited they'll be!" Li Tiezhu was excited and his face was flushed with joy, speaking incoherently.

  Li Yang patted his broad shoulders and said, "Uncle Zhu, the money is for you. After you go back, be sure to help your fellow villagers build their houses well, but don't reveal that I gave you the money. Just say it's what you earned from taking on the construction project."

  "How can that be okay?! Yangzi, this is your money, so much spent and not even a reputation to show for it, aren't you suffering a huge loss?" Lí Tiězhù exclaimed in surprise.

  "It would be even more troublesome if everyone knew I had money. You go back and don't tell Dog Wa and the others, just say that Nanfeng Group bought this district from Longteng Company, and I'm representing Nanfeng Group to settle the engineering payment with you." Li Yang instructed solemnly.

  "Good... good, Yangzi, you're really a good kid! You're generous and don't seek fame or fortune. Our Leopard Ridge's Li family has produced someone like you, it's as if our ancestors are blessing us!" Li Tiezhu exclaimed.

  After completing the transfer procedures, Li Tiezhu's first thought was to withdraw cash.

  According to him, it was a withdrawal of over 10 million in cash to pay wages to fellow villagers, but it is impossible to withdraw so much cash without an appointment.

  After inquiring with Xiaohua, Liyang received a reply that their bank only had 1.5 million cash on hand, and if they wanted to withdraw more, they would have to make an appointment and wait for three days.

  "Xiao He, is there really no other way? My uncle Zhuzi's workers are over a thousand in number, and they all want to get their wages early and go home. If we give it to this one but not that one, it will make them feel uncomfortable." Li Yang said softly from the window.

  Xiao He furrowed his brow in deep thought for a long time, and finally smiled slightly at Li Yang: "I remember that our bank just received 15 million yuan in new cash, which is the salary for Nanfeng Group. If I give it to you, what should we do when they come to withdraw money tomorrow?"

  Nanfeng Group? Got drama!

  Li Yang heard her say this and suddenly had an idea.

  "Xiao He, it's settled then. You just give this 150 million to Zhu Zi Shu, and I'll take care of the Nan Feng Group's affairs. I'll call Ling Nan, the CEO of Nan Feng Group, right now." Li Yang took out his Nokia phone and started dialing.

  "Do you know the president of Nanfeng Group? Okay, I'll call the bank manager now!" Xiaohua's eyes lit up and she also dialed an internal bank phone number.

  Ling Nan naturally agreed to Li Yang's request, after all, the Nanfeng Group was a large enterprise and didn't lack this amount of money. They could use old bills to pay wages if there were no new ones available.

  The president of the Industrial and Commercial Bank received a phone call from Xiaohua and felt that things were getting a bit tricky.

  Li Yang and Ling Nan are both major clients of the bank, neither can be offended. Just as it was getting difficult, Ling Nan's phone call came, saying he is willing to let Li Yang have the money, so everyone is happy now.

  With a single order from the director, a special task force was announced, and five people were dispatched from the entire bank to take action. Within thirty minutes before closing time, 15 million brand new 100-yuan bills were counted out of the vault and transported by a dedicated armored car. It was so fast, thanks to the new bills; if they were old bills, it would have taken at least three to five days just for counting, which was impossible.

  After completing the formalities, Li Tiezhu sat in Li Yang's QQ car, followed by a majestic and domineering escort vehicle, and returned to Fenglin Garden Community with the wind.

  As soon as they arrived, Li Tianjun jumped off the car and shouted loudly: "Brothers, we've got money! Quick, come out and help us move the money! Everyone, come out and take a look, it's a whole truckload of money!"

  The entire Maple Forest community was suddenly stirred up, and a large number of disheveled migrant workers rushed out from the small gate. As soon as they saw that the cash-for-homes bus had arrived, they all became excited, shouting and crying with joy!

  They were all honest and kind-hearted peasants, although they were excited, no one made any excessive moves, without Li Tiezhu and Li Yang's instructions, they automatically surrounded the armored car in a big circle.

  Bank staff held riot guns and opened the back door of the armored car, moving large bags of money off the vehicle, one million per bundle, packed in specially made canvas bags, a total of fifteen bags. After unloading the goods, they said goodbye to Li Yang and drove away.

  The workers are not worried about the safety of these large sums of money in Fenglin Community, after all, even the most powerful underworld gangs in Dongnan City can't beat these migrant workers, and ordinary thieves would be wasting their time.

  Lai Tiezhao's hands trembled as he opened one of the money bags, and saw stacks of brand new banknotes inside. He burst into tears! The migrant worker brothers next to him, who had suffered hardships for a long time, also shed tears when they saw so much money, and hugged each other in tears!

  "Stop crying, hurry up and take this money back, we'll pay wages tonight!" Li Tiezhu wiped away his tears and instructed.

  "Alright! Brothers, move the money!"

  "Haha, salary is paid! Now my daughter's tuition fees are settled!"

  "Haha, it's been almost half a year since I came out, and finally, I can go home with some money! This time I'll be able to take home over 20,000!"

  "I also have more than 10,000 yuan! Zhùzi is really awesome, finally got the money for everyone, following Zhùzi to work is solid!"

  "What a pity I came late and only got over 8,000 yuan. Let's continue to work with Brother Zhu and make more money in the future!"

  Everyone opened their mouths and laughed while discussing it, with many people having great strength, in no time at all they moved all the money into the neighborhood.
