"Young Master Xu, the wine is finished. Can you give me a straight answer?"
Xu Fei squinted and replied, "Brother Jiang Fei, it's not that I don't want to give you a reply, but as you know, after these companies were just seized, I need to find evidence before I can make this matter a reality."
"No, didn't we agree before? As long as I take the lead in turning things over and hand over the ledgers to you, you said you would handle the rest." Upon hearing this, Jiang Fei immediately became anxious.
Ah Long chimed in, "Yes, Young Master Xu, Fei Ge and I only chose to work with you because we listened to you. Now that things have come to this, you can't just abandon us."
"Heh!" Xu Fei's lips twitched, and he said with a forced smile, "That's true, but you two have to give me some time, right?"
"Furthermore, you have said before that Longteng Group has not paid any taxes in recent years, but you have never said that the legal representative would be a Hong Konger."
"Is there any need to say it? Everyone knows that Longteng Group was built by Hong Kong people who invested in it. If I had known this beforehand, I would have preferred to stay by Chen Dong's side. After going through so much trouble, you are telling me that you did not know it was a foreign company."
Jiang Fei wanted nothing more than to beat this bastard to a pulp, but having already come this far, he could only go along with it. After a few seconds of silence, Jiang Fei softened his tone and said, "Young Master Xu, then you tell us what to do. We'll do whatever you say."
"Here's what we'll do: if you can stand up and identify Chen Dong as colluding with certain foreign opposition forces, I guarantee that within half a month at most, these companies will fall into your hands."
"this....."
"Stop arguing and listen to my advice, you have no way out."
Jiang Fei and A Long exchanged a glance, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in their eyes. Xu Fei was right; they had come this far. Moving forward meant a bright future, while retreating meant certain doom.
"Chen Dong, it's not that we've wronged you, it's just that you've made too much money..."
......
"Boss, are you alright?" Wolong asked with concern.
"It's nothing!" Chen Dong waved his hand and said, "Wolong, bring me the phone."
"Okay, boss."
Not long after, Chen Dong turned his phone back on.
"Beep beep beep..."
However, shortly after the phone was turned on, a call came in from outside.
Chen Dong glanced at the caller ID and pressed the answer button.
"Hello, this is Chen Dong." Chen Dong was eager to call Annie to ask about the situation there, but he had to answer Li Xiaoman's call, so his tone was inevitably a little stiff.
"Hehe... Mr. Chen, who made you angry? Why are you talking so rudely?" Li Xiaoman still spoke in a playful tone, but Chen Dong didn't want to say anything more and went straight to the point: "Sister Xiaoman, I have something to do. I'll get back to you later."
"etc!"
"Um?"
Li Xiaoman quickly asked, "Are you in Hong Kong? I'd like to meet with you."
Chen Dong was silent for a few seconds on the phone before saying, "Come to the offshore company, I'll be here."
"good!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Chen Dong was speechless as he watched the busy tone on the phone.
However, after Li Xiaoman interrupted him, Chen Dong decided against calling Annie.
In fact, the Longteng Group that Chen Dong established in mainland China accounts for a very small percentage of his total assets. If he wanted, he could easily rebuild the Longteng Group at any time.
Initially, his idea was to make money from money. Building basic industries in the mainland was not wrong, but the cycle was too long. Compared with the high returns brought by the financial industry, the real economy seemed insignificant.
However, building a financial empire that can withstand various risks is inseparable from the real economy. He could only settle for second best, allowing most of his businesses to snowball externally, and using his understanding of the future to provide strong impetus for the real economy with the profits.
Unfortunately, there was a serious contradiction between the idea and reality.
It's hard to say whether this is good or bad. At least for now, those with ulterior motives have been exposed, but the price paid has been quite high.
Looking back on his time with Jiang Fei and the other two, Chen Dong asked himself honestly if he had treated them well. It was just that everything seemed to go smoothly because he was standing on the shoulders of giants.
The consequence was that Chen Dong's role was greatly diminished, giving others the illusion that they could do the same.
An hour later.
A red Ferrari was parked in the offshore company's parking space, with a beautifully dressed woman inside.
Luxury cars and beautiful women are an eternal topic, attracting frequent glances from passersby.
Li Xiaoman ignored them, and strode into the office building in her black high heels.
"Boss, President Li is here."
"Bring her in."
Chen Dong was waiting in the reception room. When he saw Li Xiaoman, he waved to her. Li Xiaoman smiled. Given their relationship, there was no need to be too polite; being too polite would only make them seem distant.
"Wolong, you can go down now. I need to talk to Chen Sheng alone."
Chen Dong gestured to Wolong, who nodded and walked to the door to stand guard for the two of them.
"Chen Sheng, how have you been lately?"
"Sister Xiaoman, just say what's on your mind."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoman rolled her eyes at him. What an oblivious man! She really didn't know how she could have fallen for him.
"Regarding the Thai baht, I'd like to ask for your opinion."
"I have no objection; I will maintain my current position."
"When will we return these Thai baht?" Li Xiaoman was a little dumbfounded when she heard this. She naturally thought that Chen Dong might choose to repay the loan after it matured.
