High School Belle Fell in Love with Me-Chapter 332 - 170: He Flipped the Table—In the Literal Sense (Double-Length, Please Vote)
"Hahaha, please come in."
Cen Yeming made a gesture of invitation without responding to Li Yang’s teasing.
Li Yang understood, so let’s get down to business.
Originally, considering Liu Ruyi’s red envelope, he wanted to resolve the matter properly.
After all, Xiang Baiyang tore up the documents on the spot, and not having security kick him out was already giving face.
There was a table, a pot of tea, only two chairs, and Xiang Baiyang was not present.
This was enough to show that Cen Yeming was the spokesperson of the team.
After sitting down, Cen Yeming took the initiative to pour Li Yang a cup of tea and said, "The food will take a little while. There’s no menu here, so I just let them bring whatever. You don’t have any dietary restrictions, right, Li Yang?"
"No, no, as we say in my hometown, as long as it’s not a bench leg that’s too tough to chew, I can eat anything, and I always have a big appetite."
Cen Yeming laughed and said, "I can tell."
"Oh? This is our first meeting, and I didn’t expect my brother to know me so well?" Li Yang asked curiously.
Cen Yeming said, "If your appetite wasn’t big, why would you reject our funds? I guess our offer didn’t satisfy you, did it?"
Li Yang said, "From start to finish, I haven’t seen what offer you’re talking about. I still stand by what I said, the decision for Wanliu Capital to liquidate is made with the intention of taking responsibility for our clients’ funds. The A-shares have dropped by a few points these past couple of days, and I’m sure my brother has noticed."
"Indeed, it dropped two points yesterday and three points today."
"It dropped four points today."
Today, the market plunged 3.7%, to Li Yang, that was four points.
If Wanliu Capital hadn’t liquidated, running today would cause at least ten more points in loss on paper.
Even pressing the nuclear button might not have saved them.
For small funds, whatever the float gain or loss is, that’s exactly what it is because it doesn’t affect the market.
But for large funds, without cashing in, the float gain or loss data can only serve as a reference.
Moreover, during liquidation, float gains only reduce, while float losses only increase.
Cen Yeming didn’t argue with Li Yang over these details and said, "Brother, as they say, a person is nothing without credibility, and President Zhao is your chairman at Wanliu Capital, right?"
"Yes."
"She promised that if the market was stable, it would double in six months, and only then would there be liquidation."
"Yes, but the problem is that the market isn’t stable now. The company has its rules, and even the chairman has to follow them. Does my brother mean that as long as one holds a high enough position, they don’t need to follow the rules?"
"Haha, you’re taking it too seriously, brother..."
Cen Yeming didn’t dare to admit it, even though that’s what he thought in his heart.
He had investigated Li Yang and knew some of his background, which is why he chose to meet him.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have bothered.
He added, "Running a company is different from other things, credibility is the most important. Barings Bank in the United Kingdom collapsed because of its bad credibility. As someone in the field, brother should know this better than I do."
Li Yang shook his head and said, "Honestly, I wasn’t aware of this. But even if I was, it doesn’t matter because this isn’t a case of bad credibility on our part; rather, it’s proof of our excellent credibility. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be so considerate of our clients."
Cen Yeming: "But we paid a huge price and are going to suffer massive losses because of a word from your President Zhao. Doesn’t that have anything to do with your company?"
"Of course, it has nothing to do with it. Investment inherently carries risks. Is there anything in this world that’s all gain and no risk? If my brother can guide me, I’ll try investing too..."
Cen Yeming realized that Li Yang was prouder and more confident than he had imagined.
He had set the stage, and Liu Ruyi had spoken to him about Li Yang. He initially wanted to resolve this matter properly both to consider the funds and to give Liu Ruyi some face. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
At this time, the waiter knocked on the door, and Cen Yeming allowed them to come in, and soon they brought a few dishes.
Cen Yeming told the waiter, "Tell your boss there’s no need to bring more dishes."
"Okay."
Li Yang glanced at the four dishes on the table. How the hell is this enough for anyone?
Liu Ruyi as well, each dish with just that tiny portion...
...
Liu Ruyi frowned after hearing the waiter’s message.
She picked up her phone and sent a message to Xiangnu, "It’s not that I’m not helping. I specifically waited outside to have a word with Li Yang in advance and also told him about Cen Yeming’s situation. If he had just simply lowered his head and admitted his fault, it would have been over. But now..."
Xiangnu: "He’s not at fault; I am."
Liu Ruyi: "Sigh, I’m a bit surprised. Is that guy Li Yang actually willing to bear the pressure for you? Could it be he’s truly fallen for you?"
Xiangnu: "Do you think that’s realistic? He’s trying to clear past favors, and after this incident, I guess he’ll exit the group."
Liu Ruyi: "Hmm? Even if that’s the case, he’s still quite good."
Xiangnu: "Yeah, he may appear petty, but he’s actually very sentimental. It turns out I was the one who was too hasty this time."
Liu Ruyi: "I’ll keep an eye on things here; after all, I kind of owe him. I certainly won’t let anything happen to him here. But you know, I can’t stand against Cen Yeming..."
Xiangnu: "Mhm, just ensure his safety, that’s all. I won’t go in to eat. I’ll wait at the door for a while."
Liu Ruyi sighed, wondering why Li Yang insisted on clashing with Cen Yeming.
