Xinghe Shenglian Company is located on the eleventh floor of a building called Yifeng Building. Since it is not the headquarters, its area is not large, and it rents a space of about two hundred square meters.
The person who received Li Chonglou and the other person was a sweet-smiling young woman. To Li Chonglou's surprise, Yue Hai beside him remained indifferent, as if she were invisible.
After the young woman learned that Li Chonglou was visiting due to a specific intention, she immediately called for her manager.
"Hello, sir, may I have your surname?"
"My surname is Li."
"Hello, Mr. Li. I am the person in charge here, He Ping. You can call me Xiao He."
He Ping was a man in his thirties, with an unremarkable appearance, but dressed in a business suit, he had a few characteristics of a successful person, and he seemed to be a relatively easy-going person.
"Our receptionist said that Mr. Li has some opinions about our external affairs department?"
After some pleasantries, He Ping went straight to the point. Li Chonglou pondered for a while and then got straight to the point, "Mr. He, I'm here mainly to understand what platform debt my friend's son owes."
He Ping was taken aback for a moment, and then said seriously, "Mr. Li, let me clarify first, as a third party, we cannot disclose customer information. However, Mr. Li can tell me the name, and it should be fine to check which platform company it is."
Li Chonglou nodded. He Ping's attitude was the best he had encountered in similar situations. He maintained his principles while being honest. It was no wonder he could be the head of a branch company.
He then told him the name of his friend's second son.
"Mr. Li, please wait a moment."
He Ping quickly left the reception room. After about five minutes, he returned.
"Mr. Li, the name I found has three people with the same name. I don't know if the address you want to inquire about is..."
"It's in Shangjing, near the Honggang branch."
Upon hearing this, He Ping immediately replied, "Then I know. He owes a debt to the Yiqi platform."
Yiqi platform?
Li Chonglou had never heard of this name, but he had never used online loans, so it was not surprising that he didn't know. He directly asked for the specific amount.
However, He Ping's face showed some difficulty.
"This, Mr. Li, according to regulations, we cannot disclose the amount. Perhaps you can ask your friend?"
Li Chonglou thought for a moment and changed his approach, "Then what if I want to help him repay it?"
He Ping's eyes immediately lit up: "Mr. Li, you want to repay it on his behalf?"
"Yes."
"Then it's no problem. Whether Mr. Li really wants to repay it or not, as long as there is this intention, it's fine."
He Ping suddenly grinned and then reported the amount.
It was also over 500,000 yuan, which matched what Gao Baisong had learned.
"Thank you, Brother He. Do you have a business card? I'll contact you when I've thought it through."
"Of course, no problem."
He Ping did not ask further about the repayment on behalf of someone that Li Chonglou had mentioned earlier and directly handed him a business card.
Even after Li Chonglou and Yue Hai left, he maintained his amiable smile.
While taking the elevator, Li Chonglou couldn't help but sigh to Yue Hai, "See that person named He Ping just now? In this society, if you can learn from him like that, you can go anywhere."
Li Chonglou considered He Ping's interpersonal skills to be the second strongest he had ever met. The first, of course, was Zhou Tong, although the two were somewhat different.
Zhou Tong was strong in his professionalism, which Yue Hai could not learn much from quickly. This man named He Ping, on the other hand, had hardly shown any professionalism, relying purely on his personal charisma and interpersonal skills to gain favor with others.
He Ping's approach was the kind that people like Yue Hai should learn the most from.
However, Yue Hai still hadn't caught on and looked confused at what Li Chonglou was saying.
"It's just talking a few words, what's so good about learning that?"
Li Chonglou shook his head and said no more. This kind of thing could only be learned through personal enlightenment.
After leaving Xinghe Shenglian Company, Li Chonglou searched online for the address of the platform company called Yiqi. It was also near the Honggang branch, but in the opposite direction.
It took more than half an hour for Li Chonglou and Yue Hai to appear under a residential building.
"This is also a company? The difference is too big!"
The simplicity of the environment even made Yue Hai unable to help but complain, but Li Chonglou remained expressionless.
In fact, this kind of environment was more conducive to his investigation, as he would feel embarrassed to act in a too formal setting.
The address was on the seventh floor, but when they reached the sixth floor, they could already hear the noisy sounds from above and a strong smell of smoke.
As soon as they stepped onto the stairs to the seventh floor, they saw two young men with yellow hair smoking heavily. Seeing them wanting to come up, one of the yellow-haired young men, with a nonchalant demeanor, asked while puffing on his cigarette, "Are you here to get a loan?"
Yue Hai, who couldn't stand the smell of smoke, had already covered her nose and mouth with her collar. If Li Chonglou hadn't spoken, she probably would have gone forward to actively extinguish their cigarettes!
Li Chonglou said calmly, "I have that intention, but I want to see your manager."
Upon hearing that they wanted to see the manager, the two men exchanged a look.
"Heh, it's just a loan, it's all the same whether you talk to the manager or us. Brother, just tell me how much you want to loan, and we can get it approved and disbursed within five minutes!"
Li Chonglou shook his head, "Then I'll go find him myself."
Saying that, he continued to walk up. The two men suddenly blocked his way, blocking the path above.
"Brother, our manager is out on business today. Just tell us how much you want to loan."
However, as soon as the man finished speaking, a burly figure walked out from behind a glass door directly opposite the seventh floor and said in a low voice, "I say, you two brats are looking for trouble, aren't you? Dare to snatch my clients?"
The faces of the two yellow-haired men instantly changed. They quickly put on a smiling expression, turned around, and said it was a misunderstanding while quickly walking away, squeezing into the glass door.
"Come in first."
The burly man glanced at Li Chonglou and the other two, then directly turned and went inside.
Yue Hai frowned slightly and whispered, "Brother Li, this person is not simple."
Li Chonglou nodded. Although he did not have soul fusion at the moment, he could still feel the powerful inner force emanating from the man, as if it were about to overflow from his body.
With such a person hidden in this environment, Li Chonglou was not surprised but delighted, because this likely meant he had found the right place!
So, without any hesitation, Li Chonglou followed him with Yue Hai.
When Li Chonglou actually entered the so-called Yiqi company, he realized that it was even more rudimentary than he had imagined.
Apart from that glass door, which looked like a company, the inside was purely a rented room of about a hundred square meters!
