Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 444: Chapter 108: Longyan! Advancing to Heavenly Human Realm_3

Qian Xuean was sweating profusely, continuously wiping his forehead with a handkerchief, his entire body trembling as he lamented, “Dear brother Shouzhe, while it’s true our Qian family is wealthy and well-established, the larger the family, the greater the expenses. Moreover, I’m just the minor head of the Southern Six Guards of Longzuo County, not the family head of the Qian clan. You already owe our family over a million Qian Gold, and now you want to borrow another two million. The accounts just can’t stretch to that.”

“Brother Qian, it’s just a mere two million Qian Gold. I’m not borrowing it from the Qian family for nothing. With future collateral and interest, it is a surefire profit-making deal.” Wang Shouzhe served him tea and water with a smile, “Not to mention, you might even be able to afford a few more legitimate wives and concubines.”

“Brother Shouzhe, don’t joke about me, it’s all just a misunderstanding.” Qian Xuean said embarrassedly, “Xiaocui’s family was originally a Grade Eight Prominent Family from Donghaei, but due to their downfall, they couldn’t maintain their family property anymore. I just helped them out because I couldn’t bear to see it. Xiaocui and I are genuinely in love, I did not intentionally marry a prominent family’s legitimate daughter as a concubine.”

Wang Shouzhe just smiled and said nothing, giving him an odd look.

He had known Qian Xuean since he was eighteen and knew he came from a humble background. There was a strong sense of inferiority within him. The chance to marry a legitimate daughter of a prominent family as a concubine could be a form of compensation.

“Brother Shouzhe, I won’t hide anything from you either. Recently, the Qian family’s headquarters have moved a lot of funds around, and I can only take out seven or eight hundred thousand Qian Gold from my accounts.” Qian Xuean felt uneasy under his gaze and said helplessly, “I can personally lend you another three hundred thousand Qian Gold without interest.”

Wang Shouzhe and Qian Xuean knew each other from humble beginnings, they could talk to each other without beating around the bush.

Thinking back to how they had racked their brains and gone to great lengths over a mere three thousand Qian Gold, it made one sigh to hear them casually mentioning millions of Qian Gold now.

They were no longer the small futures they once were.

Qian Xuean, relying on Wang Shouzhe, has constantly made contributions for his clan, his status rising like a rocket, while Wang Shouzhe, using the connections and the vast channels of the Qian family’s business, has expanded his family’s assets considerably.

Now, when the Wang family stomps their foot, the whole Changning County trembles three times over.

This was because the Wang family’s influence had spread throughout Changning County, and was even gradually spreading outward.

“Alright, one hundred and twenty thousand it is,” Wang Shouzhe said nonchalantly, “the rest of the Qian Gold is still easy to raise.”

The assets of the Huangfu clan in Changning who have dominated for five hundred years are all quality assets. If they fell into Wang Shouzhe’s hands, their potential for future growth would be even greater.

This was a piece of territory that Wang family had fought for, of course Wang Shouzhe wouldn’t just watch it fall into the Lei family or other clans’ hands.

Though it was a challenging feat.

But as long as the Wang family were given ten to twenty years to digest it, the power and wealth of the Wang’s as a whole would escalate to a new level.

Such an opportunity could not be missed!

…

As the two were talking, Fang Youan and junior sister Green Fern, who had just returned from the Academic Palace, brought the cleansed Artifact Spirit to Wang Shouzhe and took the chance to visit her good friend Liu Ruolan.

Women develop friendships quite quickly; a single instance, and Ruolan and Green Fern had become close friends.

So much so that Liu Ruolan took upon herself to cover all of Green Fern’s skincare products and other life necessities by the Wang family.

Such an extravagant move left Wang Shouzhe sighing incessantly.

Green Fern was a piece of high-end clientele who was always the first to buy any new high-end skincare products. Over a year, she would usually spend one to two thousand Qian Gold, while the Wang family was paying just over a thousand Qian Gold as cost.

This just goes to show, earning money from women could be easy.

But, if Ruolan was happy, then they’ll let her carry on.

After all, there was no way they could stop her.

Green Fern was a direct disciple from the Academic Palace and had a close relationship with the Qian family. Her arrival immediately caused Qian Xuean, who had been eager to return to Xiaocui’s side, to not even mention going back anymore, and started dancing attendance on her, showering her with various compliments as if he didn’t care about money.

“Junior brother Shouzhe, I heard you’re in need of money?” Green Fern asked when she heard the news, and took the initiative to find Wang Shouzhe, “I’ve got some spare, I could lend it to you.”

“This…” Even though this was the second time Green Fern had used money to stun Wang Shouzhe, he still felt slightly uncomfortable, “My dear sister, the amount I need isn’t small.”

He still needed one million Qian Gold. Even a seventh-rank aristocratic family in its prime would be severely affected by withdrawing such a large amount all at once. Even though Green Fern was a direct disciple, the full wealth of Fang Youan and Yin Yuzhe was only so much.

“Wasn’t it said it was just a million?” Green Fern asked with innocent blinking eyes, “Don’t tell me you need several million? If it’s more, I don’t have it. Should I write a letter asking my master for some?”

Wang Shouzhe was speechless. Was a million Qian Gold just a trifle in Green Fern’s eyes?
