Chapter 234: Chapter 234

The implications of these words filled Qin Han with even greater joy; it indicated their relationship was improving. With this connection to the Bo Family, everything the Qin family did seemed to go smoothly.

Qin Han expressed his gratitude to everyone, his tone full of hearty exuberance.

Suddenly, he felt he had reached the pinnacle of his life.

Zhou Yunchen stood quietly to one side, smiling.

Just as everyone was beginning to look at the Qin family with newfound admiration, the auctioneer announced calmly through the microphone, "President Qin, please come over to sign the documents and verify the funds. The procedures must be completed this morning. Time is of the essence."

Qin Han acknowledged, exchanged a glance with Li Xing, and quickly jogged over to sign the papers.

Then he called Bank Manager Li Xing over to handle the documents for the transfer of six hundred million.

Bank Manager Li Xing, having already been notified, didn’t say much. He directly had his assistant bring over the documents, which looked as if they had been fully prepared in advance.

This display once again made others look upon the Qin family with increased respect.

Those who had previously thought the Qin family was finished now saw they were still very powerful. In Qingcheng, the Qin family remained a dominant force.

Just as Bank Manager Li Xing had the paperwork ready and was about to sign, the door was suddenly pushed open. Two staff members from Citibank entered, looking hurried. Fresh chapters posted on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚫𝙣𝙚𝙩

"Bank Manager Li, please wait a moment." A staff member approached and whispered in his ear.

Bank Manager Li’s expression changed instantly. He looked at the staff member and asked, "Really?"

The staff member affirmed that it was.

Li Xing looked at Qin Han again, hesitated repeatedly, then slowly put away the seal and ink pad. "Brother Han, I am truly sorry. There’s pressure from my superiors. They’ve said we can’t approve this particular funding for the Qin family. I sincerely apologize!"

With that, he made a respectful gesture with his hands and, also looking hurried, prepared to leave.

Qin Han was stunned. "Li Xing, what’s going on?"

Li Xing paused in his steps and shook his head. "All I can tell you is that I don’t have the authority to release these funds to you."

Qin Han was dumbfounded. If Li Xing doesn’t have the authority, then who does?

Li Xing had no way to answer his question and quickly departed.

Qin Han and the other Qin family members broke out in a cold sweat.

Things had reached such a critical juncture, and now Bank Manager Li Xing had dropped the ball. What were they going to do about the six hundred million?

Moreover, they had to secure the funds by that morning, and there was only about an hour left. The auctioneer’s expression was already turning sour. When had the Qin family ever been subjected to such treatment?

"Borrow it!" Old Master Qin decided resolutely. "I’ll stake my old reputation to get this amount covered!"

Qin Han, naturally understanding the gravity of the situation, also sprang into action. After a long time spent persuading the auctioneer, he finally managed to get a one-hour delay.

Time was of the essence. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the Qin family members scrambled—some made calls, others sent messages, and those nearby went to make direct visits.

The onlookers at the scene were all waiting, as if by unspoken agreement. They were waiting for an outcome, and also to watch the spectacle.

So, the Qin family wasn’t omnipotent after all! Just a moment ago, everyone thought they were so formidable!

Time ticked by, second by second. Old Master Qin exhausted a lifetime of connections, and Qin Han swallowed all his pride, yet they still couldn’t achieve the desired result. Only Qin Siyuan managed to gather over thirty million from his company’s available funds, but this was far from enough.

Old Master Qin slumped into a chair, muttering, "In a city as large as Qingcheng, is there truly no one willing to lend us a hand? How did our Qin family treat them in the past?"

"What seems to be the problem?" Just then, a voice came from the doorway.

Everyone looked and saw it was Mayor Lin, a smile on his face.
