Chapter 148: Covering the Sky with One Hand
Are you the woman from Royal One?
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng felt speechless. Are you seriously telling me this now? Are you pretending to be something you're not?
Ye Qingcheng finally realized just how shameless Xiao Tianyu was. After being with her, he still pretends in front of her. It's beyond hypocritical. How can a man be so fake?
Regardless, to Ye Qingcheng, that incident was unforgettable, and she believed it was the same for him. However, he's pretending to have just remembered. If this isn't pretending, then what is?
But since Xiao Tianyu said so, Ye Qingcheng thought to herself, it should be easy to resolve, and she said, "Since you remembered, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
"What explanation?" Xiao Tianyu snorted. An explanation for her? He, Xiao Tianyu, was unfairly labeled as having committed indiscretions, and he was the one wondering who he should demand an explanation from.
To put it bluntly, he, Xiao Tianyu, was the wronged party here, okay?
So, Xiao Tianyu suddenly said, "This time, I'll forgive you first and won't argue. Just make sure it doesn't happen again!"
After all, Xiao Tianyu had seen her body, so he felt a little guilty.
"..." Hearing this, Ye Qingcheng was stunned, not arguing with her and forgiving her first? It made him seem like a saint, but it felt like she was the one at a loss. How can there be such a shameless man in the world? This is absolutely outrageous.
Ye Qingcheng really couldn't understand how there could be someone so shameless in this world, as if he had suffered some great loss.
Yet Xiao Tianyu didn't care, and she saw him walking away. Ye Qingcheng snorted, "Stop and explain yourself!"
"If I explain, will you believe me?" Xiao Tianyu said as he continued walking.
"I don't believe you!" Ye Qingcheng blurted out.
"Then why bother explaining?"
"..." Ye Qingcheng was left speechless. Was this guy just digging a hole for her to fall into? Watching Xiao Tianyu's figure fade into the distance, Ye Qingcheng knew that she was going to have to swallow her losses.
Who told her she met such a master?
...
A luxurious VIP reception room in Celestial Capital Bank.
At this moment, a rather handsome figure was sitting in the reception room, sharply dressed in a suit, evidently an important figure from a company, rhythmically tapping his fingers on the table.
The cup on the table in front of him was empty, indicating he'd been here for quite a while.
"I'm sorry to have kept Manager Dong waiting!" At this moment, a middle-aged man in a neat suit entered the VIP reception room, with a hint of sweat on his forehead and his breathing quite unsteady, clearly showing that he had rushed here.
"President Yin, you sure take your time!" The young man surnamed Dong's voice was neither cold nor warm, making the president's heart tighten: "I'm truly sorry. I didn't know Manager Dong came personally. Had I known, even if today were the weekend, I'd have been here waiting!"
Kidding aside, this Manager Dong is the senior executive Dong Kejiang from Fengxing International, holding a significant position. Needless to say, with him visiting today, he must have come on orders from the executive president of Fengxing International. How dare he neglect him?
Recently, Fengxing International has already taken out loans worth hundreds of billions from his bank. That's big business. Moreover, rumors abound in Celestial Capital that this mysterious figure from Fengxing International will be the next Tianyu President.
His future status might even match that of President Tianyu.
"Let's not waste words!" Dong Kejiang got straight to the point, continuing, "Today, I'm here on orders from President Yi, hoping that your bank will not grant loans to Qingcheng International. Do you understand what I mean?"
"This..." The president furrowed his brows, clearly finding himself in a bind. After all, Qingcheng International is one of Celestial Capital Bank's VIP clients and has a great reputation without any history of defaulting on payments. Suddenly not lending to Qingcheng International, he really couldn't find a suitable reason.
...
Outside the bank.
After parting ways with Xiao Tianyu, Ye Qingcheng directly carried her VC handbag through the VIP corridor into the bank. However, just as she entered the VIP corridor, she was stopped by a security guard.
The security guard said, "I'm sorry, the president has ordered that no one shall disturb him!"
"I am Ye Qingcheng from Qingcheng International!" Ye Qingcheng's beautiful eyes flashed with a cold light.
Since when had she, Ye Qingcheng, been turned away by the bank?
However, the guard continued to smile, "President Ye, I'm really sorry, the president is indeed unavailable right now. Perhaps President Ye could come again tomorrow!"
"..." Hearing this, Ye Qingcheng was a bit stunned. Ordinarily, when she came to the bank, no matter what was going on, the president would see her immediately. But now, they were saying the president wasn't available?
Based on her many years of experience in finance, Ye Qingcheng suspected something was amiss.
Not long after, she saw Dong Kejiang approaching. He glanced at Ye Qingcheng and then brushed past her.
Following Dong Kejiang was the president, who greeted Ye Qingcheng and then went to open the car door for Dong Kejiang in front of a sports car.
After Dong Kejiang drove away, the president finally turned to attend to Ye Qingcheng, intensifying the bad feeling in her heart.
"I'm sorry to have kept President Ye waiting!" the president said with an apologetic smile.
"No problem!" Ye Qingcheng smiled and nodded, then continued, "Who was that just now?"
"Dong Kejiang, a senior manager from Fengxing International. Doesn't President Ye know him?" The president smiled slightly, causing Ye Qingcheng to hesitate, then shake her head.
Next, the president gestured with a smile, "Please, President Ye, come in!"
Ye Qingcheng, carrying her handbag, followed the president into the VIP reception room. The president offered her a cup of tea, which Ye Qingcheng accepted. The president then asked, "May I know the reason for President Ye's personal visit today?"
"I won't beat around the bush with you!" Ye Qingcheng got straight to the point: "I want to take out a loan!"
"How much?"
"Ten billion!"
"This..." The president was at a loss for words. He couldn't outright say that Fengxing International asked the bank not to approve her loan, could he?
"Is it difficult?" Ye Qingcheng asked.
Normally, Ye Qingcheng could obtain a ten-billion loan just by asking, yet today the president was hesitating.
So Ye Qingcheng continued, "Is there some problem?"
Upon hearing this, the president didn't want to outright offend Ye Qingcheng, knowing that it's always good to leave a way out.
The president then tactfully replied, "President Ye, to be honest, the bank's funds are not abundant recently, and there are many payments not yet recovered. The sum you requested is quite large, I'm really quite incapable. Of course, if the bank had the money, we would certainly approve it, even if it were twenty billion. But right now, it's just..."
"No need to explain, I understand!" Ye Qingcheng didn't say more, set down the teacup, and left the bank with her limited edition handbag.
She's not stupid. At this point, how could she not realize what's happening?
"Fengxing International, do you think you can single-handedly cover the sky?" At the entrance of the bank, Ye Qingcheng got in her car, started the engine, and drove off.
Celestial Capital doesn't only have Celestial Capital Bank.
