Chen Dong secretly asked himself, "Do I still have the energy to be responsible for such a wonderful woman?"

Thinking of this, he smiled bitterly, "I don't really want to be unfaithful anymore."

Upon hearing Chen Dong's words, Li Xiaoman's expectant eyes dimmed; she felt that Chen Dong had rejected her.

However, Chen Dong's next words cheered her up. He said, "Even if you want to be unfaithful, you should wait until you feel capable and have the power to do it. I don't want the people around me to get hurt again, like what happened to Xiaomin."

Chen Dong's confession made Li Xiaoman realize how much he valued those around him.

She also put herself in the role of Vivian Chow.

Although she considers herself a strong woman, she still needs a man by her side to take care of her. And this is especially true for Vivian Chow, who is a bit more gentle-natured.

To be honest, I sometimes envy Vivian Chow.

Sigh, if only I had met Chen Dong sooner and confirmed our relationship sooner.

You were born before I was born, and I was born after you had grown old...

For a moment, an unspoken silence fell between the two.

Chen Dong remained silent, looking up at the words on the wall.

Li Xiaoman remained silent, simply stirring her mocha gently with a coffee spoon.

An eerie atmosphere settled over the office.

However, despite their own hidden desires, the atmosphere here was surprisingly harmonious.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the office door.

The assistant brought Zhang Zhong in.

Chen Dong stood up to greet him.

Li Xiaoman also greeted the other party with a smile.

Zhang Zhong: "Hehe, Manager Li lives far away, yet he arrived earlier than me."

"I happened to have some business nearby, and when I received Chen Sheng's call, I rushed over immediately. Besides, I heard that Zhang Sheng is doing very well these days and has a lot of things to do. I guess he squeezed this time out of his schedule to come over."

Hearing Li Xiaoman say this, Zhang Zhong, though trying his best to suppress it, still smiled smugly, "We have to thank Chen Sheng for this."

Upon hearing this, Chen Dong couldn't help but look at him. What did Zhang Zhong's promotion have to do with him?

Then Zhang Zhong said, "Because of Mr. Chen's arrangements in South America, our head office saw an opportunity. Of course, please rest assured, Mr. Chen, our information control is still very tight. It only circulates among a few senior executives of the bank. And for the sake of secrecy, they entrusted the relevant matters to me, giving me full responsibility."

“Well, then you really should thank Mr. Chen.” Li Xiaoman said, feigning sudden realization.

At this point, she was actually somewhat envious of Zhang Zhong.

In comparison, although I am the general manager at HSBC and seem to hold a high position of power, I am severely constrained in many ways.

Although I have tried my best to show a tough side, and this style of doing things has been recognized by everyone in the bank, there are still many inconveniences for women in the workplace.

It is fair to say that gender discrimination in the workplace still exists.

I can only try my best to change things.

Such a change cannot be achieved overnight.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Chen Dong got down to business.

He got straight to the point, saying, "I don't need to explain, you can all guess my plans in Mexico and Brazil. Now, it's time for us to step up our efforts."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhong and Li Xiaoman exchanged a glance, both showing expressions of disbelief.

"Mr. Chen, could you explain this more clearly?" Zhang Zhong said.

“Whether it’s Brazil or Mexico, you can’t succeed as Don Quixote, can you?” Li Xiaoman said.

Chen Dong smiled slightly.

He knew that they, like Wangcai and the others, definitely thought he couldn't succeed.

After all, it's impossible for one person to succeed against an entire nation.

Moreover, this isn't some kind of fantasy world with supernatural powers.

However, Chen Dong is no ordinary person; he has a lot of leverage, just waiting to throw them away.

As mentioned earlier, even with his advanced knowledge of the Mexican peso's development trend from his previous life, and with strength and financial resources far exceeding those of his previous life, and with the funds raised reaching hundreds of billions of US dollars, Chen Dong never thought that he could single-handedly confront and defeat Mexico's massive foreign exchange system.

He said, "No, you've misunderstood me. I'm not Don Quixote, who dares to challenge windmills alone. And Brazil and Mexico aren't windmills either; they have weaknesses."

When discussing business, Li Xiaoman regained her composure: "Really? You have allies? Who are they? It can't just be the two of us, can it?"

Zhang Zhong also said, "Yes, although it's not very appropriate, you should at least tell us about a few allies so that we can see the possibility of this succeeding."

He and Chen Dong had already had quite a few contacts, and their cooperation had been relatively pleasant. However, this time, the amount involved in their cooperation was simply too large, hundreds of millions of US dollars, which was no small sum.

Chen Dong smiled slightly and said, "Alright, I'll get to the point. Hold on tight, you two. Don't be too surprised, or you might fall over."

"First of all, you two established banks are willing to become my allies, right?"

The two nodded.

Although it was difficult, after much persuasion, the shareholders and directors reluctantly agreed to cooperate with Chen Dong.

Of course, this cooperation comes with conditions, namely, the requirement for a return on investment.

Banks are profit-making institutions, not charitable organizations.

They were well aware of this, and Chen Dong understood it as well.

“I have quite a few bankers in the Americas who are willing to provide the corresponding financial services, which I'm sure won't surprise you, right?”
