Let you be a great man, not a scumbag

Chapter 1348: It seems to be a good idea

There was no special expression on Jiang Cheng's face.

He just glanced at Xu Lei calmly, and then said, "Eat it. You can see that I have already eaten a bowl. The noodles here taste very good."

Seeing Jiang Cheng remained so calm after listening to his proposal, Xu Lei's heart skipped a beat.

I immediately realized that I might be a little too anxious, and couldn't help but blame myself for my impatience.

While secretly feeling annoyed, he was also observing Jiang Cheng's subtle expressions.

He closed his mouth wisely, put on a smile and said, "Yes, yes, the taste of this sauce is very special even before I put it in my mouth."

Huang Yuqi lowered her head while eating noodles.

While quietly looking up, he saw Xu Lei carefully placing a file bag and a briefcase on a plastic chair nearby.

Even though his expensive suit pants got rubbed against the sauce on the edge of the stool, he didn't dare to show any displeasure.

He even pretended to be expectant as he stirred the noodles in his hand.

"Slurp——" Huang Yuqi was eating the last noodle in the bowl with her head down.

Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard from deep in the alley.

Li Tanghu rushed over in a hurry.

He held a few crumpled red bills tightly in his hand, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

At this moment, his mind was full of thoughts of making a comeback.

I didn’t think about the scam behind it, I just wanted to win back all the money I lost by playing again.

He was seen panting heavily and slamming ten dollars heavily on the wooden board of the gambling stall.

There was still traces of red paint in the cracks between his fingernails from when he was trying to pry open the piggy bank at home.

With a desperate look on his face, he said: "I'll play again!"

When the several agents saw Li Tanghu bringing more money over, a hint of barely perceptible joy flashed in their eyes.

They all exchanged glances secretly.

They knew in their hearts that this "fat sheep" had taken the bait again.

As long as we follow the plan, we can cheat him out of all the money in his pocket.

The steel ball bounced on the spring plate with a "ding" sound.

After winning fifty in the first hand, Li Tanghu stomped his feet excitedly.

"Wow, I really won."

Originally, he wanted to stop after winning back the fifty dollars he had lost.

But now that I have won the money back, I am a little reluctant to stop.

The main thing is that the two people next to them were counting the money they won.

The two kids were even discussing using the winnings to buy a video game console.

Li Tanghu was envious after hearing this.

Greed instantly took over.

Adhere to the mentality that you are not losing out now.

He suddenly bet the fifty dollars he had won on top of that.

Obviously, I fell into the trap directly and lost the fifty coins just like before.

But I have the experience of coming back and winning just now.

Li Tanghu was obviously not so panicked this time.

Several agents watched him touch his pocket, and in order to make him make up his mind, they said they would be back for dinner.

Under such urging, Li Tanghu simply gave them all the hundred yuan in his pocket.

He said that it was only the last ten games.

Once you step into the trap, it's obvious that you've lost all the $100.

Seeing that he had lost all his money, Li Tanghu became anxious again.

He squatted on the ground, buried his face deep in his knees, and pinched his knuckles until they turned white.

Screamed, ah!!!

What should I do?

"I told you it was a scam, but you refused to believe it. Now I've lost another 100 yuan." Huang Yuqi muttered to herself while poking the braised egg in the noodle bowl with chopsticks.

But her eyes were not on the bowl.

Instead, it floated towards Li Tanghu who was sitting opposite, observing what was happening there.

At this moment, Huang Yuqi suddenly felt something strange at the corner of her mouth.

It seemed like something was stuck on it.

She subconsciously stuck out her tongue and licked it, only to find that it was an egg yolk stain.

Just when Huang Yuqi was feeling a little embarrassed and wanted to wipe it off?

Jiang Cheng stretched out his hand naturally and gently wiped away the egg yolk stain at the corner of Huang Yuqi's mouth with his thumb.

He moved so quickly that he had finished wiping before Huang Yuqi even had time to react.

However, the warm touch at that moment made Huang Yuqi's ears suddenly feel hot.

Her heart seemed to skip a beat at this moment.

Not only Huang Yuqi was stunned, but even Xu Lei standing next to her also noticed this scene.

There was a shrewd look in his eyes behind the lenses of his gold-rimmed glasses.

He found that there seemed to be a special tenderness in Jiang Cheng's eyes when he looked at Huang Yuqi.

Huang Yuqi also seemed a little unnatural in front of Jiang Cheng.

I couldn't help but guess that the relationship between Huang Yuqi and Jiang Cheng might not be simple.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but think of his niece Zhu Yan.

She obviously knew Jiang Cheng earlier than Huang Yuqi, but there seemed to be no signs of the relationship developing in that direction.

I couldn't help but feel a little anxious for Zhu Yan.

Jiang Cheng has mastered the art of flirting without realizing it.

He looked at Li Tanghu slowly and said, "Some tuition fees can only be remembered after they have been paid with real money."

When Jiang Cheng spoke, Xu Lei, who had been eating in silence, suddenly put down his chopsticks.

He glanced at Li Tanghu who was crying and hiccuping.

He glanced at the children surrounding the gambling stall in the alley, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

I thought to myself that this was a good opportunity to get closer to Jiang Cheng.

If handled properly, Jiang Cheng might be impressed by my ability to do things.

Xu Lei leaned forward slightly.

He lowered his voice and said, "This is clearly a scam. Should we call the police to help him get his money back?"

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng immediately waved his hands: "Hey, is it useful to call the police? And I don't think we have to get the money back. This is a rare social practice experience..."

Seeing Jiang Cheng doing something bad, Huang Yuqi agreed with a smile: "I think so. We learn a lesson from our mistakes. We can't let such a good opportunity go to waste for our child."

When Xu Lei heard Jiang Cheng and Huang Yuqi say this, his expression froze for a moment.

He suppressed his smile and said, "What you two said makes sense. I am too narrow-minded. These kids are still young. If they are not old enough, calling the police will not be very useful. At most, we can educate them and let them suffer a little loss. They will learn a lesson next time. If we return the money, they may be easily tempted next time."

Huang Yuqi agreed and said, "Yes, there are many forms of fraud like this in Kyoto. The most important thing is to improve your awareness of fraud prevention."

Xu Lei had just seen Jiang Cheng wiping the corner of Huang Yuqi's mouth.

Now I have even more respect for Huang Yuqi.

"What Teacher Huang said is true. For this kind of thing, I can help you once, but I can't help you the first or second time. You still have to rely on yourself."

"Is this kind of fraud common in Kyoto?"

Seeing Jiang Cheng was interested, Xu Lei spoke immediately.

Seeing Jiang Cheng's interest, Xu Lei immediately became interested.

I thought this was a great opportunity to show off.

He sat up straight and adjusted his tie subconsciously with both hands.

He said in a coherent and confident tone.

"Yes, there are many pachinko scammers in Kyoto, especially at bus stops and subway stations near elementary schools. They stake out their positions after school."

"It's not just pinball scams, there are also some card scams targeting retired seniors, which are mainly concentrated at bus stops and parks. Of course, it's not just children and the elderly, there are also many scams in Kyoto that target financial institutions and even investors."

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng immediately thought of "something meaningful."

To be honest, he originally planned to do the old-fashioned thing of sending supplies directly to welfare homes or nursing homes.

But now it seems that this anti-fraud publicity seems more meaningful.

"Old Xu, I didn't expect you to know so much about this..."

Speaking of this, Xu Lei's expression suddenly became a little strange.

He spoke somewhat embarrassedly.

"In fact, I was working here when I first started to enter the industry. When I first came to Kyoto, I was also deceived by some investors who looked rich and dressed in suits, especially those in Xicheng District. They would talk about investment projects and who they knew. In order to have such an investment opportunity, I invited them to dinner every day to discuss projects."

At this point, Jiang Cheng understood immediately.

"So, you treat people to dinner every day, and after more than a dozen meals, they are still bragging, right..."

Xu Lei pretended to feel pained: "Yes, I paid several months' salary and tried every means to treat him to good food and drink, but every time he told me to wait for news."

"I can't believe that Lao Xu, who looks so smart, could be tricked into giving away more than a dozen free dinners..."

Xu Lei was not angry when Jiang Cheng teased him like this. Instead, he took the opportunity to get closer to them.

He said self-deprecatingly: "Oh, please don't laugh at me. I was also obsessed at the time. I thought that as long as I could seize that opportunity, I could break into the Beijing circle. After all, I was still young at that time..."

Jiang Cheng listened, nodded thoughtfully, and then said: "Hearing what you said, I suddenly feel that it seems necessary to do a publicity project to prevent fraud."

When Xu Lei heard this, he immediately became alert.

He keenly grasped the key to the problem and quickly followed Jiang Cheng's words.

"You want to do this? That's a great coincidence. Our bank is currently promoting a youth financial education project. I think this project is particularly suitable for teaching these children how to prevent fraud."

"Is your bank's educational program one of those interest rate calculation videos?" Jiang Cheng raised his eyebrows, his tone somewhat teasing, "The kind that will make people fall asleep after watching it for three minutes?"

"No, no, no," Xu Lei waved his hand quickly and took out his cell phone from the inner pocket of his suit.

Then he slid his finger across the screen quickly: "Last year, we at China Merchants Bank set up an anti-fraud hotline in the bank, and also publicized some local frauds. Take a look..."

After finishing speaking, Xu Lei immediately clicked on a few video cases and showed them to Jiang Cheng.

"Look, these are some of the revealing videos we made in Shanghai. However, because the focus is on revealing telecom fraud, we don't do much on street fraud. However, the materials and videos collected in each region are different." Xu Lei showed them while observing Jiang Cheng's reaction.

Jiang Cheng watched the video Xu Lei showed him.

Although it is a bit crude, this down-to-earth revealing video is easy to understand.

Seeing this, Jiang Cheng suddenly felt that there seemed to be something going on.

Xu Lei paused suddenly, looking at Li Tanghu who was crying loudly not far away, and added in a low voice: "If you want to popularize anti-fraud knowledge to these children, I can ask her to transfer the materials from Kyoto to make some promotional videos, and we can add the bank's anti-fraud hotline at the end of the film to make a series of public service advertisements."

This one project fits perfectly into something meaningful.

Jiang Cheng stopped Xu Lei from speaking and said, "President Xu, I think this project is suitable for Xingchen."

Of course, such a project did not exist in China Merchants Bank originally.

This was just something he made up.

Xu Lei knew very well that in order to successfully retain Jiang Cheng, this extremely important client.

He must spare no effort to meet Jiang Cheng's various needs.

Even if it requires some extra effort and cost, it is totally worth it.

As long as Jiang Cheng is really interested in this project and expresses his desire to participate in it.

Then he would definitely make full use of China Merchants Bank's huge network of relationships without hesitation in the blink of an eye.

Quickly gather professionals and form a team specifically for his project.

After all, for a super big customer like Jiang Cheng who has deposits of tens of billions.

No matter which bank he chooses to deposit his money in, he will enjoy a series of extremely generous benefits.

One of the benefits is.

As long as Jiang Cheng deposits the money in the bank, he can enjoy free one-way charter flight service in the country.

Jiang Cheng's status and influence are now so high.

Not to mention making such a trivial request.

As long as Jiang Cheng’s request does not involve serious issues such as breaking the law or committing a crime.

The bank will do its best to satisfy him.

Even if we need to temporarily put together a project team, we will never hesitate.

Hearing this, Xu Lei immediately said: "If you want to give the naming rights to Xingchen, that's totally fine."

"No, no, no, it's not about the naming rights. I'll pay for this myself. I'll do as you say. It's not just financial fraud." Jiang Cheng pointed to the group of kids at the alley, "It includes street scams, internet scams, part-time job traps...all kinds of scams."

"Okay, I understand. I'll make arrangements right away."

When Jiang Cheng said this, Huang Yuqi quietly looked at Jiang Cheng's focused profile.

At this moment, there was a serious gleam in his eyes.

Huang Yuqi increasingly felt that the responsibility and sensitivity that Jiang Cheng showed in facing these social phenomena were far more attractive than his handsome appearance.

[Ding! It is detected that the host has launched a public welfare anti-fraud campaign, and the meaningful task progress is 20%] A system prompt sound suddenly rang in Jiang Cheng's mind.

Jiang Cheng nodded. "I think this kind of video can be made into a real-life short play. Invite some professional gamblers to reveal the props of these scams, and then find professional actors to reproduce the classic words of the "shills". Use your China Merchants Bank's channels, join hands with the district education bureau and TV station to launch an anti-fraud publicity month."
