The Vice Minister of Finance leaned over and whispered something to Shen Yulou. Shen Yulou twirled the pen in his hand, replied with a few words, and nodded seriously.

“We need to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the asset exposure of domestic financial institutions related to Belencia.”

"Banks, securities firms and other institutions are required to submit detailed reports within one week."

"For companies with excessively high risk exposure, they will be ordered to reduce the risk within one month through asset securitization, sale of non-performing assets, or other means. If necessary, the government will provide short-term liquidity support."

"These are other plans, measures, and detailed information prepared by the Ministry of Finance."

The Vice Minister of Finance presented the plan agreed upon by the department's senior management, and the thick document was circulated among everyone in an orderly manner.

"If there is to be a preventative measure, I think the primary task is to strengthen the regulation of cross-border capital flows."

"We can establish a real-time monitoring system to track large-scale capital inflows and outflows in a short period of time."

The chief economist of the Federal Reserve then spoke, collected the documents from his colleagues, and passed them to the computer next to Shen Yulou.

"Once suspicious fund flows are detected, transactions in the relevant accounts will be immediately restricted, and funds will be frozen for 72 hours for investigation to prevent hedge funds from launching surprise capital withdrawals."

The data on the computer screen fluctuated in real time. In the past month, the scale of capital flight from Belencia has reached an astonishing 50 billion West Asian dollars, and the exchange rate has plummeted by 20%.

"Governor of the Federal Bank, the bank needs to strengthen its review of corporate loans, especially those to companies that have business dealings with Belencia."

"We need to require companies to provide more detailed financial statements and risk assessment reports."

"For companies that are significantly affected by the Belencia crisis, it is advisable to extend loan terms or adjust repayment plans to avoid concentrated defaults."

Upon hearing Shen Yulou utter his name, the bank manager immediately looked up and paid his respects.

"Okay, I will work with all the banks in the Federation to handle this matter."

Withdrawing his rather imposing gaze, Shen Yulou nodded thoughtfully. His glasses reflected the fluctuating data on the screen as he rested his chin on his hand, his fingertips supporting his jaw.

The meeting went on for two hours straight, and the staff taking notes were practically sweating from the dryness of their hands, before the intermission finally began.

Do you think Belencia's financial markets will be shorted this time?

"I think it's unlikely; Belencia's financial power should not be underestimated."

Ignoring the whispers around him, Shen Yulou opened his thermos and took a couple of sips of goji berry water, then drank a few more sips when he felt it wasn't enough.

He was convinced that all those years of sexual experience hadn't made him weak.

But even this short workload made him feel like he might die young.

He scrolled through the chat history sent by Chi Yuan, which was filled with funny photos of Zai Zai and him, as well as cute photos of the little one brushing his teeth and eating his food obediently.

Shen Yulou has been busy with work these past few days, rarely home. He misses them terribly and can only satisfy his longing by looking at these photos.

Rubbing his hair, Shen Yulou yawned and flipped the page to continue looking at the photos and car models sent by the vice president of the racing association.

She also said she wanted to give Chi Yuan a car, but after looking for several days, she couldn't find one she liked, so she'd better hurry up and look again.

I'll try to finish this busy period and then go on vacation with Chi Yuan and Zai Zai, find a warm place to enjoy sunbathing.

The meeting started again not long after the meeting began. Outside, the sky was getting dark, and inside, a new round of discussion began.

It seems that apart from their numb butts, everyone still has tired but clear minds and thoughts.

The pressure came from higher-ups and the responsibilities they had to bear. Without a complete policy in place, everyone present was constantly on edge, unable to breathe a sigh of relief.

"The Nth day of missing my baby, the Nth day of missing Chi Yuan."

Reluctantly putting his phone back in his pocket, Shen Yulou opened his tablet to continue refining the plan, his fists supporting his chin as he listened attentively to everyone's opinions and arguments.
