"Excuse me, are you Ms. Huang Yali?"
"Who are you?" Huang Yali asked with a look of suspicion.
Who would call me at this time?
It's obvious they're not bank employees.
Bank employees have two faces; they speak one way to one person and another way to another.
When customers need to conduct business or deposit money, she smiles so brightly.
But when they encounter debtors who refuse to pay, their despicable behavior is no less than that of thugs who harass debt collectors.
Moreover, if company shares pledged to banks have escalated to the point of being auctioned off in court, which situation would you say that falls into?
In addition, the voice on the phone was magnetic yet polite, a voice that couldn't possibly be coming from a debt collection agency.
Who could it be?
An hour later.
In a coffee shop.
Chen Dong met the legendary Huang Yali.
In her early thirties, perhaps due to her family background, she takes very good care of herself. Her exposed skin looks radiant and delicate, belonging to the type of fair-skinned and beautiful.
If you didn't know her real age, you'd mistake her for a girl in her early twenties.
"Hello, Ms. Huang Yali."
"Hello."
Huang Yali responded softly. While Chen Dong was observing her, her big eyes were fixed on Chen Dong's face without blinking.
She was certain that she had never seen the man in front of her before, unlike those debt collectors who had fierce-looking faces.
How should I put it?
Chen Dong appears to have a maturity beyond his years.
The phrase "mature beyond his years" is quite apt to describe him.
But this maturity beyond his years doesn't make people feel disgusted or think he's faking it.
In short, he is an extremely complex person.
This was Chen Dong's first impression on Huang Yali.
As for being handsome and charming, that's something only teenagers would care about. But with her family going through a major upheaval, Huang Yali has transformed from a superficial girl into a mature woman who no longer judges people solely on their appearance.
"I didn't explain things clearly on the phone earlier, so let me introduce myself again."
Chen Dong stood up and very gentlemanly pulled out a seat for Huang Yali. After she was seated, he introduced himself.
“My name is Chen Dong, and I’m from Hong Kong. Don’t be confused, we’ve never met before.”
Chen Dong smiled faintly and briefly explained his situation to Huang Yali, also in order to dispel her doubts.
Women of this age are fundamentally different from women in their teens and twenties. Coincidentally, Huang Yali's family's clothing company shares were being auctioned off, which was also the lowest point in her life.
Anyone who gets close to her will make her feel wary.
Chen Dong's goal was to get Lin Benjian, and at the same time, he hoped to establish a good cooperative relationship while helping Huang Yali.
Of course, the so-called cooperative relationship depends on the people and the matters involved.
The information provided by Xiang Huaqiang included Huang Yali's personal information.
Year of birth, major, education, social experience, work experience, etc.
It can be viewed as a personal job application profile.
It was because of this information that Chen Dong decided to implement this plan, making him and Huang Yali have a superior-subordinate relationship, or perhaps a partnership.
"Mr. Chen, is there something you need from me?"
Over the phone, Chen Dong rattled off Huang Yali's personal information and told her that he had something important to discuss with her. He said that if she decided to meet him, she would have a chance to regain control of the clothing company.
Huang Yali wasn't stupid; she went through a lot of internal struggle before deciding to go with Chen Dong.
The fact that Chen Dong could recite her information so readily proves that the person on the phone, Chen Dong, knows her very well. Otherwise, how would he know her information?
Secondly.
Huang Yali may have wanted to give it a shot.
As mentioned before, Huang Yali was in a dilemma. On the one hand, she wanted to regain control of the clothing company, but on the other hand, she didn't want her uncle to lose his retirement savings because of her.
This is a very contradictory state of mind.
It's like this: you get accepted into a prestigious university, but your family can't afford the tuition. At this point, your relatives secretly discuss and decide to sell their current house to support your studies. You overhear these conversations.
What choice would you make?
Should they decide to go to school and have their family sell their only house, or should they decide not to go to school?
If someone tells you that if you talk to them, you have a chance to get full sponsorship, would you grab onto this lifeline?
That's the kind of relationship between Chen Dong and Huang Yali.
Of course, to avoid unnecessary trouble, Chen Dong chose a coffee shop with a high volume of people and set the meeting time for daytime.
Chen Dong did not answer her question, but instead asked, "Miss Huang Yali, what would you like to drink? I heard that the Blue Mountain coffee in this coffee shop is pretty good, made from authentic Blue Mountain coffee beans, freshly ground."
Huang Yali's mind wasn't on the coffee; she did whatever Chen Dong said, whether it was coffee or water, it didn't matter.
"Then let's have Blue Mountain coffee."
Chen Dong snapped his fingers at the waiter, and a waiter quickly ran over.
"Sir, Madam, would you like something to drink?"
"Two cups of freshly ground Blue Mountain coffee, one without sugar."
As he spoke, Chen Dong looked at Huang Yali again.
"Just like him."
Hearing this, Chen Dong's lips curled up; this woman was interesting.
"Okay, sir, madam, please take a short break. The coffee needs to be freshly ground, so it will take a while."
