High School Belle Fell in Love with Me-Chapter 340 - 172: Liu Ruyi’s Face (Double-Length) (Part 3)
Liu Zhengxiong was also forced into liquidation, hitting the bottom limit for several stocks. Ultimately, he only managed to cash out three hundred million in chips. That day, he lost another forty million in leveraged funds.
On July 1, the A-shares slightly dropped by three points. Liu Zhengxiong was officially liquidated of all his holdings on this day, losing eighteen million in leveraged funds.
From this point on, Liu Zhengxiong’s stock market career ended.
On July 2, fifteen hundred stocks in the A-shares hit the bottom limit, marking the start of the stock market crash.
On July 3, fourteen hundred stocks in the A-shares hit the bottom limit.
On July 7, eighteen hundred stocks in the A-shares hit the bottom limit.
A thousand stocks hitting the bottom is now just a commonplace occurrence.
Liu Zhengxiong’s hair turned white overnight because he was in debt by one billion four hundred million.
This doesn’t even count the two hundred thirty million of his own capital.
He owed the bank one billion, nearly three hundred million to friends, and one hundred eighteen million to the financing companies.
His last villa had already been surrounded by people.
Liu Zhengxiong had lost all his former confidence, looking at the people who came to collect their debts.
"Everyone, I, Liu Zhengxiong, will definitely not shortchange you on your money. Please just give me a bit of time; I have important guests coming over these days, and I ask you to give me some face."
The years of relationships finally proved useful.
In a few days, Liu Yuheng would bring Song Xiaoli to visit home, and he had to hold on.
Even if the sky were falling...
And on July 7, Li Yang arranged for people to inject all the funds held by Cen Yeming and others into the company account, and placed traders in charge.
Cen Yeming and the others probably knew they hadn’t used these funds, and hadn’t approached Li Yang for a resolution for several days.
Confident with backing?
Li Yang was least afraid of those who think they have backing.
Did those people really think he wouldn’t dare to lose that money?
He dared to say that even if he lost all fifty-eight billion, no one would dare to cause him trouble.
He only hesitated because he was concerned about the potentially significant connections to the money’s source.
Just as he injected the funds into the account, the phone rang.
An unfamiliar number.
After Li Yang answered, he heard Liu Ruyi’s voice: "Yangyang, do you have time? I would like to treat you to dinner tonight."
"Sister, I’m afraid tonight won’t work. School just went on break and I, as the class president, have a lot of things to handle. How about another day?"
"Seems like even this little bit of face from your sister is not enough..."
"Of course sister has face, it’s just that I’ve given too much face to certain people already, and I don’t want to give any more! Let me put it this way: if in three months they can get ten billion, then that would mean I’m incapable!"
After Li Yang finished speaking, he hung up.
What’s the deal with Liu Ruyi calling him?
The Cen family only knew how to bully women?
If he hadn’t been busy with exams, could they have lasted till now?
Right after he hung up, Liu Ruyi called again.
On the phone, Liu Ruyi sounded almost pleading, saying, "Yangyang, just consider it your sister begging you, okay?"
After a moment of silence, Li Yang replied, "Okay."
Li Yang took a deep breath and left the dormitory.
A few minutes later, he arrived at Ruyi Hall on foot; after all, he had been here before and didn’t need anyone to guide him this time.
It was still the familiar scene, but this time Liu Ruyi wasn’t waiting in the yard but at the door.
Seeing Li Yang approach, Liu Ruyi was very pleased.
"Sister, why are you outside? It’s hot out here."
Liu Ruyi looked as pretty as ever today, just like Xiangnu once said: all the rich ladies are beautiful because only beauty can be picked up at a price.
Liu Ruyi smiled and said, "I’m waiting for you, of course. Thank you for coming today."
Because the Cen family had already agreed, as long as she could bring Li Yang today, they would let Cen Yeming divorce and marry her.
She knew this was selfish and would make Li Yang give up some chips.
But this was truly her one and only chance in life.
So she was very grateful to Li Yang.
Don’t even mention waiting for him at the door; she would be willing to be his driver every day.
"It’s nothing, I would have had to talk to them eventually, just a matter of sooner or later."
"No no no, sister owes you a favor. In the future, no matter what it is, as long as your sister can help, just ask."
"Okay."
Just like that, under Liu Ruyi’s guidance, Li Yang entered one of the private rooms.
Cen Yeming wasn’t there, but the people Li Yang met this time were familiar.
Someone similar to Bai Jingxuan, but in terms of age, definitely had the advantage over Bai Jingxuan with at least a five or six-year lead.
After seating Li Yang, Liu Ruyi said, "I’ll leave you two alone. If anything comes up, just call for me. The food will be served shortly."
Li Yang said, "Sister, aren’t you afraid I might flip the table again?"
"Even if you do, I’ll still serve you food and make sure you’re full."
"With just that line, today I’ll do my utmost to settle things."
Li Yang knew about Liu Ruyi’s situation because Song Yu had specifically told him.
He also knew about the relationships between those people.
Xiang Baiyang and Xiang Baitao were cousins, about the same age, but Xiang Baitao’s side was slightly better, not really mixing around in circles.
Xiang Baiyang, however, was worse, having nothing else aside from social circles, constantly revolving around Cen Yeming.
In essence, Cen Yeming didn’t measure up to Xiang Baitao, but Cen Yeming was handsome.
Even though he was ten years older than Liu Ruyi, Liu Ruyi was still madly in love. Even after Cen Yeming got married, she never let go.
After Liu Ruyi left, Li Yang smiled at the middle-aged man in front of him and said, "Hello, we should have met a few days ago, but you were busy."
