Bank Manager Zhao acted strictly in a businesslike manner, showing no leniency whatsoever.
With President Zhao's statement, the other three bank presidents also showed no respect to Chang Jingtai.
Chang Jingtai could only manage a wry smile.
Although he is the chairman of Jingtai Pharmaceutical Company, he is still far behind these three bank presidents. They don't give him face, and he really can't do anything about it.
Why hasn't Mr. Ye arrived yet?
Would Mr. Ye stand me up?
Chang Jingtai felt a little uneasy, but he still followed his original plan and delayed for the night breeze to arrive.
"President Zhao, can you tell me the truth? Did Chen Haobei, the chairman of Tianxin Pharmaceutical Group, give you some instructions, which is why you..."
Before Chang Jingtai could finish speaking, Bank Manager Zhao coldly interrupted him: "You don't need to know why we're recalling the loan early. You just need to cooperate with us. That's all for now, let's talk another day!"
After saying this, President Zhao and several other bank presidents stood up and prepared to leave.
Chang Jingtai was getting anxious and tried to persuade him to stay, but nothing he said worked.
They're clearly not giving him face, what can he do?
However, at that moment, the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open.
A young man and a somewhat overweight middle-aged man walked in from outside, chatting and laughing.
Who else could this young man be but Ye Feng?
And following Ye Feng was none other than Huang Haotian, the mayor of Zhongzhou City!
Upon seeing Huang Haotian, the president of Anfeng Bank, Zhao, and several other bank presidents all changed their expressions drastically and hurriedly greeted Huang Haotian with utmost respect.
Chang Jingtai was completely stunned at this moment.
Chang Jingtai truly did not expect that Ye Feng would be able to invite Huang Haotian, the mayor of Zhongzhou City, to come over.
Huang Haotian is the person with the most power and the highest status in the entire Zhongzhou City!
"Mayor Huang, what brings you here?"
"Were you also invited by Boss Chang?"
"We never expected to meet here; it's an honor for us."
"Mr. Chang, I was away on a business trip and couldn't attend your daughter's birthday party. I apologize to you for that."
President Zhao, President Wang, President Li, and President Zheng were all very polite and even respectful. They were nothing like the impolite people they had been when they spoke to Chang Jingtai earlier.
The four of them are now acting like four lapdogs!
"I was invited by Mr. Ye Fengye." Huang Haotian laughed and sat down in the chair.
Ye Feng sat down directly in the seat of honor.
Seeing this, the four bank presidents were even more shocked.
Who exactly is this young man, that he dares to sit in the seat of honor?
And Mayor Huang didn't have any objection to this at all?
What on earth is going on?!
Ye Feng smiled and looked at Chang Jingtai, saying, "Boss Chang, it seems these four bank presidents don't recognize me. Aren't you going to introduce me?"
Chang Jingtai finally came to his senses and quickly said, "President Zhao, President Wang, President Li, and President Zheng, let me introduce you."
"This is Mr. Ye Fengye, and his mother, Ms. Xi Yao, is now a member of the board of directors of our Jingtai Pharmaceutical Company, and is also the second largest shareholder after me!"
Upon hearing Chang Jingtai's words, the expressions of President Zhao and President Wang all changed drastically.
Ye Feng smiled and said, "I heard that your banks first lent money to Jingtai Pharmaceutical Company, but before the repayment deadline, you wanted to recall the loans. Is that true?"
“I’ve heard people say before that you private banks always lend umbrellas on sunny days and take them away on rainy days. Now it seems that’s true. I can’t help but be disappointed.”
As soon as Ye Feng finished speaking, Huang Haotian slammed his hand on the table and demanded, "President Zhao, is what Mr. Ye said true? Why are you all silent? Speak up!"
President Zhao was sweating profusely, and the other three bank presidents also looked extremely embarrassed.
After a long silence, President Zhao finally said, "Mr. Ye, Mayor Huang, our four banks have indeed made this decision, but it hasn't been implemented yet! Just now, when we discussed with Mr. Chang, we listened to his advice and decided not to recall the loan in advance."
Hearing what Director Zhao said, Chang Jingtai found it quite amusing.
These four bank managers, who had clearly shown him no respect just moments before, are now saying they've taken his advice and decided not to recall the loans prematurely.
They have absolutely no shame!
However, Chang Jingtai did not intend to expose President Zhao's lie. As long as the result was good, that would be fine. Besides, they were all entrepreneurs in the same city, so it was good to leave room for future encounters.
"Is that so?" Ye Feng asked with a smile.
President Zhao was extremely nervous, and the other three bank presidents were also under immense pressure.
The four of them looked at Chang Jingtai together, and even gave him pleading looks.
Chang Jingtai felt extremely pleased, almost triumphant, but he said aloud, "That's right. President Zhao and President Wang just had a very serious discussion with me and adopted my suggestions, deciding not to recall the loan early."
"Oh, it seems these four bank managers are quite understanding," Ye Feng said with a smile.
For the next hour or so, President Zhao, President Wang, President Li, and President Zheng fawned over Ye Feng and Huang Haotian, toasting and drinking with them like four waiters.
Seeing that it was almost time, Ye Feng stopped making things difficult for them and let them leave.
"Thank you so much for today, Mayor Huang," Ye Feng said.
"Mr. Ye, you're too kind. I have no choice but to comply with your request," Huang Haotian quickly said.
"It's getting late, Mayor Huang, you should go back and rest early," Ye Feng said.
"Okay, okay, we can talk about it another time."
Huang Haotian nodded and left Bieyun Restaurant.
At the same time, in a luxury villa in Zhongzhou City.
Chen Haobei was enjoying a cigar in his beautifully decorated living room, accompanied by several beautiful and scantily clad young women.
Just then, a servant rushed in.
"Something terrible has happened, Chairman!" the servant said anxiously.
"What happened?" Chen Haobei frowned.
Suddenly realizing something, Chen Haobei waved for the women to leave before ordering, "Alright, you can speak now."
The servant quickly said, "Chairman, I just received news that the chairman of Jingtai Pharmaceutical Company invited President Zhao of Anfeng Bank and the presidents of several other banks to dinner at Bieyun Restaurant. Moreover, there are rumors that those banks will not recall their loans in advance."
