Chapter 358: Chapter 358: That Distance, Called One Hundred and Eight Thousand Miles (Request for Monthly Votes)

"Baitong Bank suddenly rejected our loan request."

An employee told Su Jingshan.

Su Jingshan’s company had just taken on a big project, and due to insufficient working capital, he intended to take a loan from his "old friend" Baitong Bank.

Baitong Bank was a private bank with considerable strength.

Compared to other banks, loans were somewhat easier to obtain.

"Rejected?"

"How could that be?"

Su Jingshan was in disbelief. He had known the general manager of Baitong Bank for a long time, and his company had always borrowed from Baitong Bank.

The relationship between the two was good.

Why would Baitong Bank reject him for this loan?

Su Jingshan was unwilling to believe it.

For the sake of this big project, he had risked everything. If it went smoothly, he would earn a lot.

But if something went wrong, bankruptcy would be the least of his worries; he’d likely end up owing billions.

If the loan didn’t go through and there was no working capital, everything would be doomed!

"I don’t believe it."

As he said this, Su Jingshan took out his phone and called the general manager of Baitong Bank.

"What, why are you..."

However, the result was as he feared. The general manager hung up the phone even before Su Jingshan finished speaking.

"It’s probably their trickery?" the employee speculated.

They, of course, referred to the company’s old rival.

"Couldn’t beat us in competition, so they resorted to underhanded tactics. Fine, just fine."

Su Jingshan gritted his teeth in anger.

Having grasped the situation, Ji Lingyu’s eyes lit up.

He thought it was his chance to make amends.

After all, his father knew some high-ranking people at Yilian Bank.

"Uncle Su, how much are you looking to borrow?"

Ji Lingyu’s face showed a smug smile; he was ready to show off.

But Su Jingshan’s next words immediately wiped away Ji Lingyu’s smile.

"Five billion."

Su Jingshan sighed lightly.

Five billion?

Oh man, that much?

For a moment, Ji Lingyu felt even more awkward.

If it were around one billion, he might have confidence in asking his father for help, but five billion, even if his father gave it his all, it wouldn’t be certain.

In an instant, Ji Lingyu fell silent and became an "ostrich," his head lowered.

Ji Lingyu cursed inwardly.

Damn it, he hadn’t even started to flaunt himself yet and it was already "doomed."

At this moment, even he felt like a joke.

It was so embarrassing.

Initially, upon hearing Ji Lingyu’s words, Su Jingshan thought Ji Lingyu had a solution.

But seeing Ji Lingyu become an "ostrich," voiceless, Su Jingshan let out a long sigh.

"Five billion?"

"That’s simple."

Chu Chen spoke up.

"Uncle Su, tomorrow you go to the headquarters of Goldman Sachs Group and find their Greater China president, Abner. Just mention my name."

This was such a small matter that Chu Chen didn’t even need to contact Abner.

A mere five billion, for one of the top ten banks in the world, Goldman Sachs, was a drop in the ocean, a trivial amount.

It wouldn’t even require Abner; any executive from a branch of Goldman Sachs could handle it.

However, looking for Abner would save time.

"Goldman Sachs Group?"

Su Jingshan was extremely excited.

Although he hadn’t mentioned it, his only hope was Chu Chen, who owned a bunch of black cards.

With so many black cards, Chu Chen surely had extraordinary connections with numerous banks.

It was just unexpected that with a mere word, Chu Chen brought up one of the world’s top ten banks, Goldman Sachs Group.

And not only that, but to directly find Goldman Sachs’s Greater China president, Abner?

Amazing.

At this moment, Su Jingshan was deeply grateful to Chu Chen.

Chuqing made the right choice.

Initially, he thought Chuqing’s rejection of Ji Lingyu was unfortunate, but in hindsight, it was the right decision.

Ji Lingyu, that kid, wasn’t fit for Chuqing!

Beside them, if Ji Lingyu, playing the "ostrich," knew Su Jingshan’s thoughts, he’d probably cough up blood.

Ji Lingyu was still stunned by Chu Chen’s words.

Chu Chen’s connections were too vast, even knowing the Greater China president of Goldman Sachs Group?

Ji Lingyu couldn’t stay any longer and awkwardly took his leave.

Soon, Chu Chen and Su Chuqing also left.

The next day, Chu Chen continued his life as a chauffeur.

Chu Chen drove to a filming base in Shanghai, the new gig was located there.

This filming base was quite large; several productions were underway there.

"You’re the chauffeur?"

Today’s client was a young idol with high looks; of course, compared to Chu Chen’s looks, there was still a bit of distance.

That bit of distance was called "an insurmountable gap."

"Yes."

After confirming, the young idol tossed the Lamborghini keys to Chu Chen.

"The car’s over there."

Pointing to a red Lamborghini in the distance, the young idol said.

Chu Chen drove the car over, and the young idol got in.

"Where to?"

"Nowhere for now, just wait."

The young idol replied impatiently.

The young idol was a trending star who had just gained popularity and seen a surge of fans, which made him feel puffed up and overly confident.

Today, he was here for a filming session.

Originally, he was the third male lead, but with his newfound fame, he wasn’t satisfied. He went to the director and demanded more scenes; he wanted to be the male lead, or at least the second male lead.

But now a third of the film was already shot, replacing someone would be too much trouble, and the director outright refused him.

The young idol and the director had a big argument and left the set.

This was his way of asserting himself, putting pressure on the director.

He planned to wait here, expecting the director to come to him.

Then, when the director was about to come over, he’d have Chu Chen drive away, creating a scene as if the director nearly missed him.

He couldn’t believe it; with his current fame, there was no way the director would not come!

"Nowhere?"

Hearing the young idol’s response, Chu Chen frowned.

"Yeah, just wait here." The young idol nodded.

"Then why hire a driver?!"

Yesterday, after learning that the number of assignments and the duration affected performance, Chu Chen had started to focus on the number of tasks.

Wasting time waiting here wasn’t an option.

His time was precious!

"I feel like it. Can’t I? Just wait, you’ll get your money."

The young idol scolded Chu Chen.

"I’m not taking this."

Chu Chen refused the young idol, unwilling to waste time.

"No way."

What Chu Chen didn’t expect was the young idol’s domineering command:

"You stay in the car right now and wait, don’t go anywhere!"

Time-wise, the director was due to arrive soon, and if the driver left now, wouldn’t that ruin his moment?

Chu Chen chuckled, amused that it had been a long time since anyone dared to order him around like that.

This young idol was something.

Just then, the director appeared in the distance.

Seeing the director arrive, the young idol was extremely pleased, laughing out loud.

Look, he knew it; with his fame, any request would be fulfilled by the director.

"See that? That’s my power, even the director has to respect me."

The young idol boasted, showing off to Chu Chen.

"Is that so?"

Chu Chen asked back.

Why did he find the director’s expression off?
