Chapter 1000 The Money Shop Owner Pepys
with a cold expression, Wang Zheng looked at the two bound guys opposite him and asked in a cold voice.This was Shangguan Shishi's basement, which had now become his private interrogation room. For t...Chapter 1000 Pepys, the Bank Owner
The moment these words were spoken, the entire suite fell silent!
Wang Zheng was truly stirring up trouble where it didn't exist!
He knew full well what Cheng Jun'an detested most, yet he had to bring it up. Was this guy simply looking for trouble and deliberately provoking Cheng Jun'an
It certainly seemed so!
Lil蘭 angrily stared at Wang Zheng, slamming her phone down on the table: "How can you say such things"
"I'm just telling the truth. Many people witnessed what happened back then," Wang Zheng blinked his eyes. "The Global Chinese Channel broadcast it live!"
Cheng Jun'an was seething with anger. The embarrassing incident at the award ceremony was a dark chapter he would never wish to recall for the rest of his life. He had already recognized Wang Zheng, the bodyguard of Shangguan PoPo. It was at Cai Ziqin's house that this bodyguard had subjected him to extreme humiliation with his viciously cruel words.
At that time, Cheng Jun'an originally wanted to pursue Shangguan PoPo, but Wang Zheng’s one sentence left him speechless. Even now, Cheng Jun'an still remembered those words vividly!
"Brother, do you think the Shangguan family would choose an actor as a son-in-law What can you offer them And what can they offer you Do you know that nowadays even dating emphasizes matching social status!"
This sentence has echoed in Cheng Junan's ears countless times over the past couple of days.
Ever since Cheng Junan became famous, no one dared to speak to him this way anymore. Yet Wang Zheng not only said it but did so openly and shamelessly.
To a business giant like the Shangguan family, Cheng Junan was merely an actor. People often heard of beautiful actresses marrying into wealthy families, but rarely about male actors who would marry into such豪門家庭！傳出去，太丟人！
Therefore, Wang Zheng's actions at that moment truly slapped Cheng Junan in the face!
At this moment, seeing his enemy, his anger flared up.
Cheng Junan was still puzzled as to why this bodyguard seemed to haunt him. He could see him near Shangguo Shi and also by Liu Xuan! Was this guy some sort of curse on him Everything had been going downhill ever since he appeared!
"Why is he here" Instead of confronting Wang Zheng, Cheng Junan turned to Li Lan and barked, "Does a mere bodyguard have the right to sit here What did you do"
Li Lan looked aggrieved, glancing resentfully at Wang Zheng before explaining, "He's Liu Xuan's friend."
"Liu Xuan's friend" Hearing this, Cheng Junan looked at Liu Xuan in surprise. She didn't deny it, clearly confirming the fact!
Seeing Liu Xuan’s expression, Cheng Junan felt even more furious; at that moment, he suddenly found himself no longer as interested in this beautiful girl, and this change was all because of the man named Wang Zheng.
"Liu Xuan, how could you have such friends" Cheng Jun'an couldn't control the anger in his heart and said coldly.
"I think who I choose as my friends has nothing to do with you, right Do you need to meddle in my affairs" Liu Xuan definitely wouldn't back down. "Did I invite you to have a simple dinner with my friend Are we that close, Cheng Jun'an"
Liu Xuan's words made Cheng Jun'an even more furious; all the unpleasantness of these few days surged up in his heart. He slammed his fist on the table and shouted, "Liu Xuan, don't think that winning Best Actress will make you oblivious to your own worth! Wanting to blacklist you is just a matter of speaking!"
"Then come and blacklist me then!" Liu Xuan wouldn’t be polite towards someone like him. She was naturally a fiery-tempered person; back in the day, when faced with Zhu Feng's harassment and insults, this girl chose death over submission. Her spunky personality could be seen from this incident.
"Don't think you can do whatever you want! There will come a time for you to suffer!" Cheng Jun'an was just venting his anger at that moment; with Liu Xuan’s current value, how could he easily blacklist her with just a sentence
At this moment, Pepys, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.
"I didn't expect you to have grown so much in arrogance after two years. When you and your father came to me for money back then, you weren’t as audacious."
Pepys' words made Cheng Jun'an shiver! At this moment, he finally noticed that there was such a person sitting at the table!
Pepys How could he be here
Cheng Jun’an didn’t know that Pepys was the Grand Elder of Ideal Nation, but he knew another identity of his on the surface—boss of Moss Company, one of Europe's three underground money lenders! This old man had connections all over Europe and wielded power in the underground world; no one dared offend him whether they were in the black or white world! In Pepys’ words, he could even put high-interest loans into space!
Certainly, without the backing of his status as a Senior Elder of the Ideal Country, Peppes would never have been able to expand his underground banking business to such a scale!
Cheng Jun'an's father originally also ran a company and had some savings. However, due to this father-son duo frequently indulging in extravagant gambling in Macau, their family assets were almost depleted. Fortunately, Cheng Jun'an's sky-high endorsement fees provided some support; otherwise, they would have been heavily indebted long ago. Nevertheless, two years ago, when the family business needed funds for週轉 (cash flow), Cheng Jun'an accompanied his father to Moussi Company in Europe and borrowed a large sum of money.
Although this debt was eventually repaid, during the period of borrowing, Cheng Jun'an was extremely anxious. Behind Moussi Company stands the Ideal Country with an interest rate of five-thousandths per day. When borrowing money, no procedures were required except for identity proof; not even the borrower's address or workplace was needed.
To put it in the words of those who lend at high-interest rates: "If we dare to give you money, we can definitely find you."
Later, when Cheng Jun'an finally paid off his debt, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. At this moment, seeing Moussi Company's big boss, how could he not be alarmed
Why would this old man who is influential in both the legitimate and illegitimate circles in Europe appear here
"Honored Mr. Peppes, I didn't expect to see you here," Cheng Jun'an tried his best to suppress his shock and spoke respectfully.
Aside from Wang Zheng and Luo Qi, everyone else here was unaware of Peppes' true identity; thus, they were all surprised by the sudden change in Cheng Jun'an's attitude toward him!
Lan Li's heart was stirred as well. She had initially only considered Peppes to be a friend of Liu Xuan but didn't expect that he would possess an identity worthy of the utmost respect from film and television superstar Cheng Jun'an!
Thinking about her previous unfriendly attitude toward these people, Lan Li felt a headache coming on!t the giant LED display screen perfectly in the middle, creating a large hole. Sparks flew out continuously; within just a few seconds, the entire huge screen turned black and started smoking.This inc...
