Chapter 330: Chapter 330 Brother Ju
Han Jingting was puzzled, "Brother Ju? Which Brother Ju?"
Ding Lijuan explained with slight impatience, "Hasn’t your company been harassed by some local thugs recently?"
"This Brother Ju is an influential big shot on Jingkai Street where you are!"
"As long as he speaks up for you, no matter who is giving you trouble, they will have to give him face!"
Han Jingting was astonished, "Mom, since when do you even know these kinds of people from the underworld?"
Ding Lijuan gave a wry smile, "We don’t have such capabilities, it was all Ding Liang’s doing!"
Ding Lijuan took the opportunity to add, "Now you see, Ding Liang has always treated you like his real sister. If you make big money in the future, you must never forget his great kindness!"
In Ding Lijuan’s view, she and Ding Liang had practically done a herculean task, saving Han Jingting from a desperate situation.
However, when Han Jingting heard that this Brother Ju was brought in by Ding Liang, she immediately felt a bit disappointed.
Because in her mind, Ding Liang had never really done anything reliable.
Besides, Ding Liang had only been in the city for a month or two.
He hadn’t even settled in yet, how could he know any significant figures from the underworld?
"Mom, let’s just forget it. I can figure this out on my own, you don’t have to bother," said Han Jingting and started to leave.
Ding Lijuan’s face suddenly darkened, "Jingting, what are you saying? We went to great lengths to invite this Brother Ju, and Xiao Liang has been running around busy for this."
"Now that he has already arrived, you want to cancel just like that? Aren’t you making our efforts pointless?"
"I..." Han Jingting was at a loss for words.
"Anyway, Brother Ju is already here. Meeting him won’t cost you anything, and if he can help you solve your problem, wouldn’t you be winning?"
Ding Lijuan was eager to earn some credit.
Unable to argue, Han Jingting finally had to follow Ding Lijuan into the Huai City Banquet.
As soon as they entered the lobby, a stunning figure approached them.
Cui Ruyun!
At the moment, Cui Ruyun had changed into a long red dress.
The deep V-neck offered a captivating view, and the tight dress perfectly outlined her exquisite figure.
The split of the dress revealed a pair of straight, snow-white beautiful legs that were hard to look away from.
Wherever she went, Cui Ruyun became the most enchanting scenery in everyone’s eyes.
In fact, Cui Ruyun had made a special effort to dress up like this.
Although she would not ruin Chen Xuan’s marriage, it did not mean she didn’t have a competitive spirit.
In her eyes, Han Jingting was like a hypothetical adversary; in front of her, she naturally could not afford to be outshone in the slightest.
"Miss Han, we meet again!" Cui Ruyun greeted with a smile.
Cui Ruyun’s smile was charming and full of allure.
Han Jingting was quite surprised.
She had only met the other party once before at the Rose Hotel, and that was to deal with Loh Anni’s matter, but she didn’t expect the other party to remember her.
"Hello, President Cui."
The other party was the chairman of Yunshan Corporation, worth billions, and also the niece of Cui Fengjiu, definitely a big shot.
Dealing with such a woman, Han Jingting felt unexpectedly nervous.
"Are you here to dine with friends today, Miss Han?"
Compared with Han Jingting’s nervousness, Cui Ruyun seemed much more at ease.
"Oh, yes, I’m here to meet a... friend," Han Jingting replied.
Cui Ruyun snapped her fingers, and the manager of Huai City Banquet hurriedly approached.
"Elder Sister Yun!"
The manager, normally high and mighty in front of others, was extremely respectful in front of Cui Ruyun.
Cui Ruyun casually ordered, "Later, send a few signature dishes to Miss Han’s private room, and also, her bill is on the house!"
Hearing this, Han Jingting became anxious, "President Cui, there’s... there’s no need for that..."
The meals at the Huai City Banquet were always expensive, costing several tens of thousands of yuan for a single meal.
She had no particular relationship with Cui Ruyun, and now that he wanted to comp her meal, it made Han Jingting feel like she couldn’t enjoy such a favor.
But before Han Jingting could say more, she was stopped by the person next to her, Ding Lijuan.
Ding Lijuan always liked to take advantage of small gains and wouldn’t pass up such a good opportunity.
"Jingting, you’re being too modest. Since President Cui has already offered, it would be impolite to refuse and disrespect him!"
"President Cui, thank you for your generosity, we won’t be modest then! Ha ha..."
Ding Lijuan’s face was covered with a smile, looking very shrewd.
Cui Ruyun smiled faintly, "Then I wish Miss Han a pleasant time."
With that, Cui Ruyun directly left.
"Jingting, your business must really be growing, to have such prominent figures like Elder Sister Yun give you face!" Ding Lijuan exclaimed as she watched Cui Ruyun’s retreating figure.
But Han Jingting felt doubtful in her heart.
She had a feeling that Cui Ruyun’s generosity toward her was not because of her own sake, but had something to do with Chen Xuan...
Without thinking too much, Han Jingting followed Ding Lijuan to the private room.
Meanwhile, inside the private room.
"Brother Ju, let me toast to you. I owe you one for handling my sister’s company issues!"
Ding Liang lifted his glass and drained it in one gulp.
Next to him, Han Bowwen also wore a full-faced smile that was brimming with flattery.
In front of them sat a thin man.
This man had dark, rough skin and was covered in arm tattoos and wore chunky gold chains, the very image of a street tough.
This was Brother Ju, Hao Ju, as referred to by Ding Liang.
Behind Hao Ju stood seven or eight similarly tattooed and gold-chained underlings, looking quite imposing.
They looked the part, but in reality, Hao Ju was not a big shot; he wasn’t even considered significant.
At best, he was merely a local thug from Jingkai Street.
Over the past two years, he had run a bathhouse and a small loan company, gathering a few dozen underlings of his own.
Since his main activities were around Jingkai Street, he had gained some notoriety in the area.
However, to people like Ding Liang and Ding Lijuan, who had not seen much of the world, that notoriety was equivalent to being a major figure.
Jiaren Corporation was located on Jingkai Street, right within Hao Ju’s sphere of influence, which is why Ding Liang had introduced him through some fair-weather friends to smooth things over.
"Don’t worry, such a trifling matter is nothing to me; it’s as simple as saying a word!" Hao Ju boasted, brushing it off with an air of ease.
Ding Liang and Han Bowwen were ecstatic.
Just then, they heard Hao Ju continue, "But I can’t work for nothing. Let’s do this, considering Ding Liang’s face, a lump sum of five million yuan!"
"What, you want to be paid?!" exclaimed Han Bowwen in surprise.
He had thought that Hao Ju was helping out because of his friendship with Ding Liang, not expecting that there would be a charge.
Hao Ju laughed scornfully, "Damn, are you my father that I should work for you for free?"
Ding Liang also whispered, "Uncle, Brother Ju is a big shot; it’s already great that he’s willing to help us. It’s only right to give him some money."
Han Bowwen said, "It is right to pay, but five million is a bit too much, don’t you think..."
At these words, Hao Ju’s expression immediately soured.
"Damn, you think five million is too much! If you can’t come up with that amount, why bother calling me here! What a fucking waste of time!"
Saying so, Hao Ju stood up, ready to leave right then and there.
