At 10 p.m., Mr. Chen's phone rang. After answering the call and hearing the contents, Mr. Chen's face turned ashen. He shouted, "What use are you? You can't even handle this simple matter, and you still want money from me?!"
After finishing speaking, Mr. Chen slammed the phone down on the landline, his face extremely grim.
"Mr. Chen, what happened?" Su Yourong came over and asked with concern, "Calm down and have some water."
President Chen didn't want to talk to Su Yourong. She sat down with her brows furrowed, pondering how the matter had been leaked. Her gaze swept over Su Yourong, and she felt it was unlikely.
She was right under his nose all day, and there was absolutely nothing unusual about her.
Mr. Chen sighed, took the water, and said, "You Rong, the situation is getting out of control. Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow."
President Chen looked at Su Yourong with a somewhat worried expression and said, "For me, this could be a catastrophe."
Upon hearing this, Su Yourong quickly sat down beside her and comforted her, "It's alright. No matter what, I'll be with you. Even the biggest storms will pass."
"This Lu Feng is no ordinary person!" President Chen muttered to himself, his eyes filled with worry.
"He has no influence here..."
Night had fallen, but the city that never sleeps remained brightly lit. If you looked from above, it was only a few dozen kilometers away from neighboring Shenzhen, and the lights here were even more dazzling.
Under the cover of night, young people are indulging wildly, while many more are lying in bed pondering what to do when the market opens tomorrow. Whether Chen's Capital's current situation is an opportunity or a danger, no one knows.
The following morning, the scandalous news about President Chen intensified, dominating most of the news pages and becoming even more explicit.
As soon as Mr. Chen arrived at the company entrance and got out of the car, he was surrounded by a group of reporters.
"What exactly is your relationship with Lu Feng, the richest man in mainland China? Could you please respond to that?"
"Will this incident deal a heavy blow to Chen's Capital's stock today? Yesterday, Lu Feng was ambushed near the Tianhai Hotel. Did you instigate that?"
How does the board of directors of Chen's Capital currently view the impact of this matter on the company?
"Didn't you say you'd release last year's operating financial report as soon as possible? When is 'as soon as possible'? Can you release it today?"
Mr. Chen was furious. He shouted at the security guards in the distance, "What are you all doing? Stop them! I don't need to respond to you. The company is doing very well, and the financial report will be released as soon as possible. We will fight Lu Feng and his kind to the end!"
A group of security guards rushed over, pushed the reporters aside, and escorted Mr. Chen into the building.
This incident has become the most explosive news in Hong Kong's financial circles. At nine o'clock, everyone started staring at Chen's Capital's stock.
Several traders sat chatting in a stock exchange, looking quite relaxed.
"When the market opened today, the most dazzling stock was definitely Chen's Capital. No matter how much other stocks rose, they were not as exciting as the two-point fluctuation of Chen's Capital."
"Let me tell you, today's show is quite something. The Chen Capital affair is in complete chaos. How could a mainland guy cause such a mess? Did you hear? He was ambushed and killed outside the hotel yesterday. He probably won't live much longer."
"I've always wondered how he's still alive. If he were an ordinary person, he would have died countless times by now."
A man in his thirties walked over with a water glass, sat down, and said, "Stop talking nonsense. What kind of turmoil can a mainland guy cause? It's just that you guys like to read gossip. Finance is a war without gunpowder. What do you look for when stock prices fall? It's the big players and the institutions."
"Can a mainland Chinese guy influence these big financial companies?"
"I told you this kind of trash is just attention-seeker. He's been attending a lot of banquets these past few days, freeloading, and a few models have even been flirting with him."
"They're easily defeated; the excitement will only last a few days."
The crowd's words were mostly sarcastic and contemptuous. In the minds of ordinary people, even if someone from the mainland is the richest person, they don't have much money. This mentality is quite serious. It's like when some foreign trash comes to China, many people look up to them. It's a kind of mentality.
Tang Zhongren wasn't at the company today either; instead, he went to the stock exchange to monitor the market. This was a very important matter for him. It was the first time in his life that he had received his father's approval. He was going to personally cooperate with a financial company worth tens of billions of yuan, and he was doing something as significant as fighting against short selling in the stock market.
He sat in the VIP room, with tea and pastries on the table to his right, and a staff member in business attire to his left who looked somewhat alluring.
For Tang Zhongren, beautiful women are as important as air. His motto is that there is no difference between humans and livestock. Apart from eating, drinking, sleeping, and mating, all that is left is eating, drinking, sleeping, and mating!
At 9:30, the market opened on time. Chen's Capital opened one point higher and bought ten million shares. Then it started to decline as retail investors sold more, causing the price to drop one point and level off.
For more than ten minutes, the trading was characterized by minor fluctuations. As soon as a retail investor sold, someone else would immediately buy, seemingly trying to maintain a stable situation.
Inside the exchange, some traders were staring at Chen's Capital's stock. The few people who had just been cursing Lu Feng were excitedly slapping their thighs and shouting, "I knew he wouldn't amount to anything. If he holds steady for the first hour after the market opens, there won't be any fluctuations afterwards."
“I already told you, it’s ridiculous that a mainland guy thinks he can shake up Chen’s capital.”
"Once Chen's Capital releases its financial report in a few days, even large institutions will have to think twice before dumping their shares."
"Lu Feng has no way back. His plan is completely ruined. In the end, he has just made a fool of himself."
