196: You haven't been scammed.

Zhang Bo sat in the car, contemplating for a while, then gave up on the idea of getting money from the bank.

He did have assets to mortgage, but getting a loan from the bank was too slow.

Zheng Qinghan and Wen Qian would be able to confirm their pregnancies in two or three days when they went for their hospital check-ups.

He had said he would buy each of them a car priced under 500,000 yuan.

Buying a car counts as consumption and could trigger the triple cashback.

Additionally, Zhang Bo planned to buy one for Bai Shanshan as well.

Similar to the rule of 100,000 yuan per person per month, plus an additional 100,000 yuan for having a child, Zhang Bo planned to establish another rule: as long as his woman became pregnant, she would receive a car worth no more than 500,000 yuan.

This was a reward for them, and also an incentive.

It would give them more motivation to have children for him.

The first child gets a car, the second child gets a house.

This would give them even more motivation!

As for the money problem... a child requires ten months of pregnancy.

Less than a month had passed since Zhang Bo got the system, and after ten months, he didn't even know how rich he would be!

So, he wasn't afraid of not having money for a house by then.

Of course, all this was looking too far ahead; the current problem was getting the money to buy the cars.

Although it was consumption cashback, Zhang Bo didn't want to spend money aimlessly.

Buying cars for the three of them was a good expenditure, and this money wouldn't be wasted.

Getting back to the main point.

The reason Zhang Bo didn't plan to get a bank loan was that the money from the loan would take too long to arrive.

From application to disbursement, it would take at least half a month.

Unless he used connections.

He did have the connection of Li Chenggang now, and if he used this connection, it would probably be faster.

But Zhang Bo didn't want too much contact with someone like Li Chenggang.

Such people would eventually fall on hard times, and too much contact could easily implicate him.

Even this time, when he sent money to him, Zhang Bo was very cautious.

At Yunmeng SPA, they were all his own people, leaving no evidence.

The money sent was also through a channel Li Chenggang himself found, which was very safe.

Sending money to Li Chenggang this time was unavoidable, but other than that, Zhang Bo didn't want too much contact with Li Chenggang.

So, he didn't want to ask Li Chenggang for a loan either.

There were institutions that could disburse funds quickly, such as some individual lenders or privately run lending companies, which could manage same-day disbursement.

However, the amount of ten million yuan might be a bit much for most individual lenders and private lending companies, so it wouldn't be that fast.

But it would definitely be much faster than a bank.

It's just... Zhang Bo didn't know any reliable companies or individual lenders.

He was also afraid of randomly finding someone unreliable, which would just lead to trouble later.

Especially these private lenders, their interest rates would definitely not be low.

He only needed it for one day, so too high an interest rate wouldn't be suitable for him, and if the interest rate was too low, those people probably wouldn't bother.

However, Yu Jiali should have connections in this area.

After all, she worked in this line of business and should know many people from all walks of life.

So, Zhang Bo planned to ask Yu Jiali when he went to Yunmeng SPA tonight.

To see if she knew any reliable lenders, and then ask her to recommend one... Of course, that was for the evening.

At this moment, Zhang Bo had to hurry to his appointment.

They had originally agreed to go to the courtyard together in the morning.

But by noon, Zhang Bo still hadn't left.

He just wondered if Bai Shanshan and her best friend over there were getting impatient...

"Sister Shan, isn't your man a bit too unreliable?"

"He said he would come pick us up in the morning, but he still hasn't arrived!"

Ye Zhiqiu was at Bai Shanshan's house, waiting with Bai Shanshan for Zhang Bo, and by noon, she finally grew impatient.

"He might be busy, don't worry, let's wait a little longer."

Bai Shanshan, however, had a calm and peaceful demeanor, her mindset very serene.

People who knew Zhang Bo often imagined him as a super-rich big shot.

Mainly, Zhang Bo had the system as his backing, so he was very unconcerned about money.

This kind of bearing was that of a big shot.

However... this feeling couldn't really be said to be wrong.

Although Zhang Bo didn't have much cash, with the system as his backing, becoming a big shot was only a matter of time for him.

So, in Bai Shanshan's view, it was very normal for a big shot like Zhang Bo to be busy.

"No matter how busy he is, he shouldn't be this late, should he?"

Ye Zhiqiu still frowned, looking at Bai Shanshan, who was touching her belly with a face full of maternal love, and said with some concern, "Sister Shan, is this man reliable? Don't tell me he's another Xu Zhen!"

"Of course he's reliable," Bai Shanshan said confidently.

"I think all men are the same, none of them are reliable, it's just that Sister Shan, you have a good temper..." Ye Zhiqiu said with disdain.

Seeing Ye Zhiqiu like this, Bai Shanshan frowned slightly, feeling very guilty in her heart.

She felt that she was responsible for Ye Zhiqiu becoming like this.

The two had known each other since childhood, and she was a few years older than Ye Zhiqiu, so she naturally married first.

After marriage, her life was very unhappy.

Ye Zhiqiu saw it, and over time, she developed a prejudice against men.

When she first heard that she had another man and was pregnant, Ye Zhiqiu might have even felt a bit happy for her.

But Zhang Bo's lateness this time completely exhausted Ye Zhiqiu's patience.

In Ye Zhiqiu's opinion, a man who is late for the first meeting with his girlfriend's best friend is definitely not a reliable man... But Bai Shanshan felt that Ye Zhiqiu was easily prejudiced against men because she had been influenced by her since childhood, which was why she was twenty-five years old and still hadn't had a boyfriend.

Bai Shanshan looked at Ye Zhiqiu, who was younger and incomparably radiant than herself, and thought to herself, 'Little sister, I'm not just doing this for myself, I'm doing it for you too. Once you also receive Zhang Bo's favor, you'll know that your sister is doing this all for your own good!'

"Sister Shan, you were too impulsive, getting pregnant so quickly, now you don't even have a chance to regret it." Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but sigh.

"I will never regret it in this life," Bai Shanshan said with a smile, "It's you, Zhiqiu, when do you plan to get married?"

"Me?" Ye Zhiqiu pointed to herself and also laughed, "I don't know, I'll see when I meet the right person. Anyway, I'm currently focused on my career!"

"How's your career going?" Bai Shanshan asked.

"Not so good!" Ye Zhiqiu's face fell as she said, "Sigh... big companies are just troublesome. Too many managers, open and hidden struggles, it's too hard for us middle managers. I want to resign and start my own business, but I don't have enough capital yet, so I can only keep enduring."

"Don't endure it anymore, I have a shortcut." Bai Shanshan's face lit up with a smile again, and she said, "My man will be here soon. He's very rich. As long as you can convince him, you'll have the capital to start your business!"

"How rich is he?" Ye Zhiqiu asked curiously.

"I don't know, but he's definitely very rich," Bai Shanshan said.

Ye Zhiqiu was instantly dumbfounded, "Sister Shan, you haven't been scammed, have you?!"
