Only after being reborn did I realize how fascinating the world of the rich is.

In Liu Shasha's bedroom, Li Xiaofeng held Liu Shasha, who had a satisfied look on her face, and said in a light tone, "Sister Shasha, I plan to mortgage my shares in Wanzhong Media to your bank to get a loan."

How much are you planning to borrow?

"I'll borrow as much as I can. Since the acquisition of Hezhong Media was completed, my shares are rising steadily on Nasdaq. At the current share price, I can easily borrow over a billion dollars!"

"What? You want to borrow over a billion? You don't think the money in the bank is endless, do you? You can borrow as much as you want!"

"What, you're not going to tell me there's no money in the bank!"

Liu Shasha smiled wryly and said, "It's not that the banks don't have money, but that each branch of a bank has a limited amount of funds allocated from the head office, and they also have to keep a portion of the deposit reserves."

A large portion of the funds are attracted by banks themselves; otherwise, why would banks be so desperate to attract deposits?

The more deposits the bank attracts, the more money our bank can lend to you businessmen.”

Li Xiaofeng said with some disappointment, "You mean your bank doesn't have enough loan funds right now and can't provide the funds I need?"

"We do have some funds available right now that should meet your needs, but we have many clients who want to borrow from our bank, like Qin Kai."

He's currently on very good terms with our bank manager, Mr. Sun, and with Wei Jianjun and his associates involved, there's a high probability they'll take this money away.

Although the Wei family is not as powerful as before after you outmaneuvered them, Wei Guoliang's network of connections accumulated over the years still wields considerable influence.

I heard that Wei Guoliang's Great Love Charity Foundation has become active again, and the media has done a lot of positive publicity for them. I guess Wei has put in a lot of effort behind the scenes again.

Li Xiaofeng kissed Liu Shasha on the forehead and said with a grin, "Sister Shasha, you're a loan manager at the bank, can you give me a hand?"

"Credit manager? You stinky man, all you do is chase after girls all day long, you don't care about me at all. I've already been promoted, do you know that?"

Thanks to you, because I secured you as a major client, and combined with my previous hard work, I actually already had a promotion to account manager, and just recently I was promoted to department manager of our branch.

"That's great! Can you help me with my loan? Just name your terms!"

Liu Shasha rolled her eyes at him and said irritably, "Such a big matter is not something I can decide. Although it's not a decision made by President Sun alone, it mainly depends on President Sun's opinion."

His decision can directly affect where the loan goes; to get the loan, you have to pull strings and find outside help.

"If we could find someone with real power to speak on your behalf, and I could also pull some strings within the bank, there's a much better chance that this loan will go to you."

"Sigh, the highest-ranking official I know is you. I spend all my free time trying to curry favor with you and fill the gaps in your record. I don't have time to bother with any other connections!"

"Ugh, you big bad guy, what are you saying? Every time you make me feel like I'm dying, you won't stop even when I tell you to. You won't listen until you're satisfied with yourself."

"You even tried to win me over with your public relations efforts, to fill the void in my life. Actually, I'm the one catering to you, okay? You're out of women, so you come to me to relieve your frustrations. I've really become your girlfriend now!"

Li Xiaofeng said with a grin, "Sister Shasha, I'm truly sincere towards you. I asked you to have a baby for me, but what have you done? Not only do you not want to have a baby for me, you even got an IUD. You really don't want to have a baby for me!"

Liu Shasha hugged Li Xiaofeng tightly and said in a light tone, "It's not that I don't want to have a child for you, but after considering everything, I think it's better for us to continue this relationship."

Having another child would definitely have a significant impact on my career. More importantly, what would my daughter think? I don't want her to be hurt!

"Okay, I respect your decision!"

Li Xiaofeng has many women, and even if some of them want to remain childless for life, it doesn't have much of an impact on him. That's the advantage of not getting married.

What if you marry the woman you love, but she wants to be childless with you?

It's best not to get married. Everyone gets what they need and takes responsibility for their own lives. Anyway, Li Xiaofeng controls resources and is among the powerful.

You can choose to be childless, and I can choose to have many children and enjoy happiness. We won't interfere with each other. If we get along, we'll stay together; if we don't, we'll separate. Whoever is stronger holds the dominant position.

Don't assume that only men do this; as long as they have more social resources, many women also make this choice.

Look at those celebrities and rich kids, they don't get married, they only date, and if it doesn't work out, they just move on to someone else. As long as they have money and resources, they can keep their relationships fresh.

In this day and age, such a choice is still made by a minority, but as the economy develops and more and more people become wealthy, more and more people will make this choice.

Seeing that Liu Shasha was unable to secure a loan for him independently, Li Xiaofeng began to consider how to find external assistance within the system.

He rose to power too quickly. He has no background and shallow foundation. After thinking it over, the only person he can talk to right now is Director Hou.

"By the way, Sister Sasha, do you think it would be helpful to Director Sun if Director Hou could put in a good word for me?"

"You mean Deputy Director Hou Guowei?" Liu Shasha's face was full of surprise.

"Yes, you know him?"

Liu Shasha said with a smile, "I know him, but he may not know me. Deputy Director Hou has a lot of influence, and his family background and connections are very strong. If you can get to know him, it will be of great help to your career!"

"So, his words carry weight?"

"Although he is not in the same system as the bank, the connection between systems is quite close. To put it bluntly, life is only a few decades long, and no one can guarantee that they won't need anyone's help someday."

If given the chance, no one would miss the opportunity to befriend someone like Director Hou.

Of course, if Director Hou came to ask for a loan himself, it might not be possible, but Li Xiaofeng's strength is undeniable. He's no less capable than Qin Kai, and might even be better, after all, you have a company listed on NASDAQ.

Furthermore, since you're one of my major clients, I can legitimately exert some influence within the bank on your behalf, and I'm quite confident I can help you get the loan!

"Really?" Li Xiaofeng's face was full of surprise.

"Of course it's true. Do you have a close relationship with Director Hou?"

Li Xiaofeng said confidently, "We don't have much of a relationship at the moment, but we will soon. It's mainly because I just acquired a company that can be linked to Director Hou's political achievements."

With shared interests serving as a bridge, strengthening the relationship becomes a natural progression!
