Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

Chapter 184 Muddy Waters

Back in the reception room, Manager Xia hurriedly said, "Now is a great time to go to Zhou's Bank to cash in. The master has ordered you to act quickly."

Jiang Wenjie replied, "Okay, I'll do it right away. Manager Xia, why don't you come with me?"

Manager Xia quickly waved his hand and said, "If I join you, won't people immediately guess that it's you who's behind the scenes?"

"That's right, I didn't think it through. I'll have someone arrange for you to rest. To be honest, last night, the merchants who live nearby heard the news and blocked my door. I told them that my father was ill and that I would go to the Chamber of Commerce today to give them an explanation, and then they left."

At this point, Jiang Wenjie said with some embarrassment: "Can't we tell them that it was the master who asked them to do this?"

"Of course you can't tell them. In fact, as long as you explain the situation, those people will definitely go to the bank to cash it in. There is no need to say more, and there is no need to force them." Manager Xia said.

"Okay, I understand." Jiang Wenjie said with a smile.

After saying that, Jiang Wenjie followed Butler Yu to the Chamber of Commerce.

Manager Xia said to the people around him, "Find a stranger and go with us to take a look."

Fearing that Jiang Wenjie would be unable to control the situation, Jiang Yuanhai arranged for Butler Yu to accompany him before pretending to be sick. Butler Yu had been with Jiang Yuanhai for more than 20 years, and the merchants all knew and trusted him.

A group of people had gathered at the entrance of the Chamber of Commerce.

When they saw Jiang Wenjie and Butler Yu coming, they hurried over.

"Master Jiang, Butler Yu."

"Where's President Jiang?"

"What's going on with the Zhou Bank's deficit?"

"Yes, all the money I've saved for most of my life is in there!"

"Who says it isn't?"

"Council President Jiang isn't trying to avoid responsibility and is deliberately avoiding us, right?"

"Our Jiang family has the most money deposited in the Zhou Bank. You're worried, but am I not?" Jiang Wenjie said coldly, "My father fell ill a few days ago. He came to our house yesterday. Didn't I explain this to you?"

"Yes, President Jiang is indeed very ill. He has a fever and is confused."

"President Jiang has always been responsible and is not the type to deliberately avoid things."

"Yes! We believe in President Jiang!"

"Everyone, please be patient! Let's go inside and talk. It's embarrassing to block the door!" said Butler Yu.

As they were talking, they entered the Chamber of Commerce, and Manager Xia's men also mixed in with the crowd.

"Let's sort things out first. There are three rumors circulating in He'an. One is that Marshal Li has set a trap for the century-old Fuyuanji restaurant, and Fuyuanji will soon become Marshal Li's. The second is that Marshal Li wants Fuyuanji to show his courtesy to Mr. Sheng and seek cooperation.

The third one is that Mr. Sun from Fuyuanji recently borrowed a large sum of money from Zhou's Bank. "Everyone, these are the three things you heard, right?" Jiang Wenjie said.

"Yes, that's it!"

"Yes!"

"Yes."

Jiang Wenjie spread his hands and said calmly, "Alright, there's nothing more to say. It's simple and clear. If you're worried about not getting your money back, just take the bill to Zhou's Bank to cash it in.

When I went to Jincheng to discuss the deposit interest with the Zhou family's head, he said that I could withdraw the money anytime after the due date. I could also withdraw it before the due date. I would pay the fine if it was due. We'll just follow the contract."

that's it?

So simple?

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.

"Master Jiang, what are you going to do?" a merchant asked tentatively.

"The receipts for my family's savings are all in my father's hands. He is now sick and confused. I can't get any information from him. I can only wait until his condition gets better, explain the whole story to him, and then let him make the decision." Jiang Wenjie said helplessly.

"Wouldn't you be at a loss then? What if the Zhou Bank goes bankrupt..."

"If I lose money, I lose money. What can I do? I don't have the deposit receipt. Even if I go, they won't cash it for me!" Jiang Wenjie frowned. "You guys go first. Everything will be fine according to the contract."

Everyone looked at each other, frowning and hesitant.

I had thought the interest rate offered by Zhou's Bank was reasonable, and I could earn some money by saving it for a few months when I had some free time. But if I withdrew it before the due date, I would have broken the agreement and even had to pay more money.

"After all, these three things are actually just one thing!" an old man suddenly said.

"Master Xu, what do you mean by this?"

"Aren't those three things all about Fuyuanji?" said Old Xu.

"Yes! They all revolve around Fuyuanji."

"This...could it be a trap from the beginning?"

"Marshal Li cheated Fuyuanji for his uncle, so Fuyuanji went to Zhou's Bank to borrow money..."

"Does this include us as well?"

"Could it be that Master Sheng is behind this..."

Everyone looked at Jiang Wenjie at the same time.

Jiang Wenjie's face changed drastically, and he said nervously, "No, how could that be? I haven't asked about this matter. I've already told you that if you want to go and fulfill your promise, go ahead. Everything will be done according to the contract."

As they were talking, the servant of the Jiang family came over with someone.

"Someone from the Zhou family in Jincheng is here."

"Zhou's Bank?"

"Oh, isn't this the young master of the Zhou family? Why are you here suddenly?" Jiang Wenjie looked at the person in surprise.

"It's like this. Recently, because of the incident between Mr. Sun from Fuyuanji and Marshal Li, Zhou's Money House has also been plagued by rumors. My grandfather specially sent me here to explain the situation to everyone." Zhou Ping'an explained.

"I see! That's great! Everyone is getting anxious and angry about this matter! Please tell us what is going on." Jiang Wenjie said hurriedly.

"That's right, I won't hide it from you. Mr. Sun from Fuyuanji did borrow some money from our Zhou's Bank some time ago." Zhou Ping'an said.

"Is it true?"

"Now that Fuyuanji has run into trouble, won't your Zhou Bank be able to recover the money?"

"Please rest assured! Isn't the Fuyuanji still there? Even if it's gone and the money is lost, my Zhou's Bank will return everyone's deposits in full according to the contract.

Things had come to this, so I couldn't hide it any longer. After my grandfather discussed it with the Fourth Master, the Fourth Master, out of righteousness, insisted that no matter what, everyone's money must not be lost. He personally contributed to the repayment of Fuyuanji's debt.

I'm here today to tell everyone. If you want to cash out, just tell me now and I'll register. I'll have two days, today and tomorrow, and after I'm done registering, I'll go back to Jincheng and prepare the money. You can come and pick it up whenever you want!

"Still waiting? Aren't you stalling for time? If you really want to give, you should bring the money and settle it right now!"

I don't know who shouted a few words.

The crowd, which had originally quieted down, became agitated again.

Jiang Wenjie frowned slightly. He knew that it must be Manager Xia's people who were stirring up trouble and inciting people.
