Chu Qinping's eldest son, who was far away abroad, was talking with business clients in a hotel.
The client was talking to Chu Yao when suddenly, the client's secretary walked in with a cell phone in her hand and a very serious expression. The secretary was whispering something in the ear of another foreigner.
The foreign man stood up and said to Chu Yao.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Chu, I have a call to answer right now."
Chu Yao was puzzled as he watched the movements and behavior of this group of foreigners. The Chu family's overseas business was originally going well with the other party and the contract was about to be signed, but this foreigner suddenly left for something.
Chu Yao nodded slightly.
After the foreigners left, Chu Yao's secretary muttered softly.
"Alva, what the hell is going on?"
"The contract is already here. All that's left is a signature. This $1.5 billion deal is done."
"These foreigners really failed at the crucial moment. Signing shouldn't take that much time. Why didn't they just sign before answering the phone?"
"Xiao Guang, I feel something is not right inside. Alva was not like this before."
Chu Yao said softly.
"Master, are they going to change their minds?"
"I don't know. If the enemy comes, we'll fight him. If the water comes, we'll block it with earth. Let's just wait and see what happens."
Soon, Alva, who took the lead in discussing cooperation with Chu Yao, walked in with a very ugly expression on her face.
"Mr. Alva, what happened?"
"You don't look very well."
Chu Yao asked.
"Master Chu, let's cancel this deal."
Cancel?
Chu Yao stood up immediately.
"Mr. Alva, what exactly happened? We were just talking about it."
"If it's a funding issue, we can lower it a little. 1.25 billion US dollars is not out of the question."
Alva raised her hand and interrupted Chu Yao.
"Mr. Chu, this is not my idea. It's my boss's idea. Also, our boss wants to terminate any business dealings with your Chu family."
"Before, all your businesses in our area, including companies, will be cancelled."
"Alva, what happened? Why did it suddenly become like this? You know how many branches we have in your area. How can we just let these businesses go like this?"
Chu Yao was completely panicked when he heard that Alva Company was going to cancel more than 90% of its overseas business dealings with him. He knew that if the business was canceled, his Chu family would have to pay a lot of money. He couldn't imagine this bottomless pit.
"I'm sorry, Master Chu, this is not something I can decide. It's all arranged by the higher-ups."
"Alva, I want to see your boss. There must be some misunderstanding here. I want to talk to your boss in person."
"I'm sorry, Master Chu, the boss of our company is very busy every day and basically has no time to meet you."
"Your boss and I are from the same country. If you just notify your boss, I believe he will definitely meet with me. I want to clear up the misunderstanding here. Alva, we have worked together for so many years. Please do me this favor."
Chu Yao said anxiously.
"Master Chu, I really can't help you with this. Goodbye."
"Alva..., Alva..., Alva..."
The foreigners and their company's public relations personnel all left the hotel.
The next second, Chu Yao's secretary's cell phone rang. He picked it up and was stunned. After he hung up, another phone rang, and then several more phones rang. The messages coming from the phones were more powerful than the last.
"Master... Young Master, our... our two companies in the United States have seen their stocks sold off massively. Now, our two companies in the United States are facing a huge crisis."
"Also... all our assets in the United States have been frozen."
"Also, all assets in the Big Leaf Country and Maple Leaf Country have been frozen."
As the secretary said this, his legs were already weak. He knew how huge the problem they were facing was.
"What?"
A bolt from the blue hit Chu Yao hard on the head.
"What power do they have to freeze our assets?"
Chu Yao knew what they would face once their assets in the United States were frozen. Over the years, their Chu family had gradually shifted from the domestic market to the foreign market. Eighty percent of the Chu family's assets were overseas. What would it mean if their assets were frozen?
"Let me think, what exactly happened?"
"Alva's actions tonight are very suspicious. He must have heard something."
"Xiao Guang, go find out what happened and whether one of our colleagues is messing with us."
Chu Yao calmed down and immediately analyzed the problem he was facing.

Domestic, Pengcheng.
"master!"
Secretary Chen called out Chu Qinping from outside.
Chu Qinping walked out.
"Master, I've already had someone investigate the person the young master had a conflict with at the venue tonight. The situation is similar to what the waiter just described."
"What we've found out now is that the young master and the man and woman who had the conflict were named Zhao Xukun and Wang Shumin respectively."
"This woman is from Shanghai. She owns several companies in China. None of them are listed. They mainly deal in cosmetics, clothing, and other things. The main company is in Shanghai, and she also has several companies across the country. Over the years, they have been developing rapidly."
"As for the other man, I couldn't find his information. I just asked some friends. I learned that he's currently studying at Shanghai University. He owns a media company in Beijing and another in Pengcheng. I heard that he's also a super member of the Pengcheng Construction Bank and has a good relationship with President Guo."
"There's also recent news. A few days ago, he went to Nancheng City with a woman. I heard that Mr. Zhao had a minor conflict with the young master of the Tian family, a well-known family in China. Later, no one knows how the matter developed, but now everyone in the Tian family is in jail."
