Despite being incredibly wealthy, I want to be a prosecutor.
Chapter 57 Water Splashing Festival
"You mean, you transfer 5 million US dollars to me, and Xin and I will find projects for you?" The voice was incredibly soft and sweet.
After ending his call with his good brother, Zhou Hong called Fifth Madam.
"Yes, I've already notified my private banking team. They should contact Linda soon. Whether the money will arrive quickly depends on the application materials you've prepared, Madam."
The Fifth Madam sneered, "You really underestimated me?"
"What?!" Zhou Hong was taken aback. "Shouldn't you feel touched that you've become someone I trust? Why are you reacting like this?"
Then she realized, well, in her eyes she was just laundering money for the family. Now that her account was directly connected to her, she was becoming deeply tied to her. In that case, she would have to cover up many things for her, otherwise she would also be implicated.
Over there, the Fifth Madam was heard gritting her teeth, clearly weighing the pros and cons.
"Two percent commission is a bit low," the Fifth Madam suddenly said.
A transaction worth billions of US dollars, with a 2% commission, amounts to 2000 million.
But now, the situation is naturally different; she is willing to risk her life and fortune.
Zhou Hong coughed lightly, "Madam, I know your concerns, but you're mistaken. I'm truly not doing anything illegal." He pondered for a moment, then added, "I would never harm you, Madam. We're practically brothers in arms. So, in the future..."
"Get out!" Fifth Madam slammed down the phone.
A short while later, Linda sent me a text message: "I admire you!"
Clearly, this involved a significant matter, so the Fifth Madam probably put the call on speakerphone so that Linda could hear what she had to say and analyze the pros and cons.
But what did I say? Not to mention the Fifth Madam, just look at Ms. Linda, what outrageous things did she say?
This……
Zhou Hong recalled his words: "A life-or-death friendship"? "The future"?
Hmm... it seems like some internet slang has stigmatized these words, but, Tongzi, you can't be serious, can you?
You don't even let internet memes go? You're such a scoundrel!
After shaking his head and sighing for a while, he realized that he really couldn't have a conversation with the Fifth Madam anymore; that damned system.
After thinking it over, I sent a text message: "I'll give you a 5% commission."
After some calculation, it was found that $12 billion could be reimbursed. Although the system initially allocated $10 billion, it would continue to allocate funds if the amount exceeded the limit.
The deal with Taishun Group has a budget of about 6 million US dollars. If we also have the Fifth Madam lead a project worth about 5 million US dollars, that would be about right.
My phone suddenly vibrated; it was Fu Niang's number.
"Boss, everything went smoothly. We've crossed the Friendship Bridge No. 1 and are back on the New Tower side." Fu Niang's tone still sounded a little nervous.
"Okay, let's go back to the Far North Hotel. Their people are with us now. When we get to the hotel lobby, we'll pay them the remaining balance."
Tawi was unlikely to set a trap for himself; he simply hoped that if Tawi won the bid for the "goods," he could get a kickback.
But in the chaotic land of Tachileik, it is naturally impossible for him to personally risk his life. Even if he has a few extra lives, he cannot afford to waste them, can he?
Therefore, she entrusted Fu Niang and Ta Wei to help her with the matter, and also to test her abilities.
Of course, a few "Mao" agents secretly infiltrated the area to provide backup should anything happen.
Thankfully, everything seems to be going smoothly.
……
Half an hour later, there was a gentle knock on the door of room 501.
Bahua, who had been standing solemnly near the porch, went over to look through the peephole and then opened the door.
Fu Niang was in front, followed by an extremely graceful and beautiful young woman, dressed in a light blue dress with a pure white gauze over it. Even her standing posture was very elegant.
The beautiful woman was very well-preserved, looking to be only twenty-three or twenty-four years old, and her actual age was definitely not thirty. She was the wife of a former bigwig in Yunnan, probably his second wife.
Her face was fair and delicate, her features were extremely refined, and she had an indescribable air about her, the air of a great man's wife. Even in her current situation, she remained remarkably calm.
After all, she was once one of the most prestigious socialites in Kunming, the capital of Yunnan Province.
"Madam Yang, please have a seat!" Zhou Hong gestured.
Seeing her expression, I felt slightly relieved. Just as they said, it was a rare commodity and wouldn't be wasted. They guaranteed that the winning bidder would receive the original, unspoiled specimen from when it arrived in Tachileik.
"You've essentially entered Changkat illegally. I'll pay your fines later, and as for deportation, my people will take you to a plane from Bangkok to go back home."
Madam Yang was taken aback and looked Zhou Hong up and down.
"You should rest well here tonight. Someone will take you to Bangkok tomorrow." Zhou Hong nodded to Fu Niang, who then gestured to Madam Yang. She could only communicate with Madam Yang through gestures.
"Are you a police officer from China?" Mrs. Yang asked, then shook her head, denying her guess.
As "goods," she was sold for $130,000. The woman from that country paid $80,000 on the spot, and the casino staff followed her over to the hotel lobby to collect the remaining $50,000.
This is not the way domestic police operate.
"Don't overthink it. After returning to China, I'll be tried if necessary. It's a hundred times better than suffering in Tachileik."
Zhou Hong looked at the list of people being helped and saw that there was another one. In the servants section, Madam Yang's colored portrait was in the fifth column, which was the second to last column. She was listed as "Wildflower Servant" and received a three-day annual allowance.
Of course, the system's determination of "wildflower" does not mean that it is actually a wildflower, but rather that the system determines its main function, which may be this.
I rescued her myself, not for the sake of a small number of rescued people, or because I was greedy for her output.
Instead, she felt that since she had learned about this former socialite in China, it was fate that brought them together, and it would be better to send her back to China. Being tortured here would only make her feel uncomfortable.
Hmm? This Madam Yang does have some skills...
"Extravagant spending (2/10): Spending money like water, wasting public funds to the extreme, doubling the annual allowance for servants; doubling the amount of money spent on luxury goods."
Okay, I have the same skill as Liu Ying, the little green tea b*tch. If we consider this skill as a game, then essentially I've collected two fragments.
"Okay, go ahead!" Zhou Hong smiled gently at her and waved.
Madam Yang was somewhat bewildered, but with her wisdom, she knew that staying any longer would be pointless. As she got up and walked to the door with Fu Niang, she turned around and said, "Thank you. I don't know how to thank you enough. If you ever have the chance to go to China, to Kunming in Yunnan, please be sure to contact me."
Zhou Hong nodded slightly, watched them leave the room, and then got up and went to the window.
The long street outside was bustling with activity, with men and women dressed in ethnic costumes splashing water everywhere, because today was the Water Splashing Festival.
I originally wanted to spend the Water Splashing Festival with Sister Yu'er, but she has already returned to China and should be in Beijing now. Her father's surgery was very successful, and he is recuperating in a large hospital in Beijing. He will need to take various expensive medications to prolong his life in the future.
The phone rang; it was Tawi calling.
"Prosecutor Hong, I'll stay here for a couple of days!" Tawi said with a fawning smile.
This guy clearly has a gambling addiction; he's got a commission of two or three thousand dollars and plans to live it up in Tachileik for a few days.
Tachileik relies on Elephant State for electricity, communications, and so on. Its mobile communication network is operated by Elephant State telecommunications companies. Making a call between Tachileik and Elephant State is as convenient as making a domestic call, and the billing is the same, without being considered international roaming.
Similar situations exist in Myanmar's border regions, in addition to Tachileik.
Thanks to its economic advantages, the Xiang Kingdom still wields considerable influence over its surrounding areas.
In the border region between Tachileik and Laos, the Thai baht is the hard currency, and local currencies are not as popular as the Thai baht.
Of course, it's another story when the RMB began to gain the upper hand a few years later.
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Hong turned to his head and said, "Tell Fu Niang to call my master's wife. We'll go down to the small valley tomorrow to take a look."
It was originally planned to start in a few days.
Xiaogudi is a self-governed Chinese village on the northeastern border of the Xiang Kingdom, belonging to Qingluan County.
From the perspective of the Xiangguo government, the recapture of the Golden Triangle region is essentially a matter of "keeping the land but not the people".
The land was taken, but the people who originally lived in this area became "border residents," which is a minority group.
They won't resolve the issue of citizenship, so they're just issuing white "border resident ID cards" to fool people.
"Border residents" are not considered official citizens of Chiang Rai, and their rights are limited. Not to mention the right to vote or be elected, even their jobs are restricted, and their activity areas are also defined. For example, "border residents" in the small valley are not allowed to leave the Chiang Rai district.
In recent years, due to various international pressures, the Xiangguo government has begun to gradually resolve the issue of citizenship for its border residents, allocating a certain number of places each year, but the review process is extremely strict, making citizenship for border residents akin to winning the lottery.
The small valley that Zhou Hong was planning to visit was a place where border residents gathered.
But Little Valley is a large town with a population of nearly 20,000, more than 70 percent of whom are of Chinese descent.
After all, they were once a very important force in the border region.
The "Peace and Love" charity foundation has prepared $10 worth of donated supplies.
Zhou Hong wanted to help this Chinese village and also increase the number of people receiving aid.
In fact, there are many impoverished areas along the border between Laos and Myanmar, so it should be easier to obtain aid.
Myanmar is too chaotic; I won't venture there for now.
Zhou Hong is still considering whether to open up a secluded retreat in Laos specifically to farm rescue kills.
Standing by the window, watching the various water-splashing scenes outside, Zhou Hong was lost in thought.
The next goal is to reach 1000 people. I wonder what surprises await us once we reach that number.
When 20 people are rescued, the servant module is activated, and the servants begin to generate annual income.
One hundred rescued people activated the Servant skill.
What will 1000 rescued people be like? I'm really looking forward to it.
