Chapter 175: Facing Bankruptcy
"No comment!" Ye Qingcheng snorted coldly, "Where's security!"
Thud thud thud~
With this said, dozens of young security personnel walked out of Qingcheng International, marching in neat steps, clearing the way for Ye Qingcheng. Wearing sunglasses, carrying a handbag, and stepping in high heels, Ye Qingcheng walked straight into the Qingcheng International building.
...
At the same time, in the CEO's office of Fengxing International.
A young man with outstanding temperament and a cold expression was staring at the big screen in the office, his mouth slightly curving upwards. The big screen was broadcasting a live scene where reporters from various major media outlets were surrounding Qingcheng International.
This person was none other than the Celestial Capital's prominent figure, the young CEO of Fengxing Group, Yi Tianxing.
"Ye Qingcheng, this is the first grand gift I've given you in three years. I hope you like it, because there will be many more to come!" Yi Tianxing whispered softly.
"President, it seems that everything is under your control. Now that major banks refuse to lend, I don't think Ye Qingcheng even qualifies to enter the auction!" Dong Kejiang said respectfully next to him.
"I've changed my mind now. I don't want Qingcheng International to collapse so early. Give the order to let the major banks continue lending to Qingcheng International. I want her to feel what it's like when Qingcheng International goes bankrupt while still being burdened with massive loans. Also, I want Ye Tianhao to see his life's work destroyed right in front of his eyes!"
"President, brilliant strategy. Once Qingcheng International goes bankrupt and is burdened with massive loans, they will never be able to make a comeback!"
"Comeback?" Yi Tianxing let out a cold laugh, "They won't have that chance!"
Yi Tianxing had been preparing for this day for three years, how could he let Qingcheng International have the opportunity to rise from the ashes?
Three years ago, when he approached Ye Qingcheng in university, he did so with a purpose. He had even imagined how heartbroken and desperate Ye Qingcheng would feel when she discovered that the person she'd missed day and night was the very one who brought down Qingcheng International.
Thereupon, Yi Tianxing spoke, "Go ahead!"
"Yes!" Dong Kejiang nodded. He was about to turn and leave the office when Yi Tianxing said, "Wait!"
"President, is there anything else?" Dong Kejiang asked respectfully.
"Have we any leads on the CEO of Tianyu yet?" Yi Tianxing asked, considering Tianyu had also expressed interest in the Great Ao land, so he needed to know who Tianyu's helmsman was to better understand his opponent.
"According to the information department, no!"
Having said this, Dong Kejiang continued, "But recently there was an incident at the Celestial Universe Hotel which I am certain was also the main reason for the collapse of Zhenhua and Gao Group. Although these two groups have now been acquired by Fengxing, the reason behind the incident at the Celestial Universe Hotel is untraceable, and everyone who attended that night's banquet seems to have disappeared. All possible leads have been cut off, and the preliminary analysis suggests it was the doing of the Celestial Universe Hotel!"
"After all that, we still don't have any clues?" Yi Tianxing frowned.
"Yes!" Dong Kejiang nodded.
"Go then!"
"Alright!" Dong Kejiang left the office, while Yi Tianxing furrowed his brows. He, Yi Tianxing, aspired to dominate the world and become a legendary figure like the CEO of Tianyu, he would have to tread over Tianyu International.
But so far, even with his capabilities, Yi Tianxing had not been able to uncover the true identity of Tianyu's real mastermind, which left him unsure. However, the more mysterious it was, the more Yi Tianxing found it challenging.
...
Qingcheng International, CEO's office.
Once Ye Qingcheng entered the office, she called for her secretary, Xiaolan.
"Xiaolan, go buy me a mobile phone!" Ye Qingcheng said bluntly.
Another mobile phone?
Xiaolan was stunned; just the morning before last, she'd bought Ye Qingcheng an iPhone8, and now, barely a week later, another phone? Rich people really are capricious.
Soon, Xiaolan nodded, "I'll take care of it right away!"
With that, Xiaolan left the CEO's office, while Ye Qingcheng showed a troubled expression, and then opened her computer.
Ring, ring, ring~
At this moment, the office phone rang, and Ye Qingcheng picked up the phone and said, "Hello!"
"Hello, Director Ye! I'm the president of Celestial Capital Bank!"
"Is there something you need?" Ye Qingcheng asked.
"Regarding the loan you mentioned the day before yesterday, the bank has now decided to grant it. One hundred billion, right? It will be transferred to your account tomorrow!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng's furrowed brows finally eased; this was the best news she had heard in this period.
"Thank you so much!"
"No worries, the bank also considered your status as a VIP guest in making this unanimous decision!" With that, the other party hung up.
Ye Qingcheng felt quite delighted. Even though she suspected there might be a trap behind this, she would still step into it without hesitation because what she needed most at the moment was money.
But one hundred billion was still far from enough to buy the Great Ao land. One hundred billion was already the lending limit for Qingcheng International, as all major banks had a base note; once they found out Ye Qingcheng had loans, they naturally wouldn't grant more.
Subsequently, Ye Qingcheng dialed the numbers of the various department heads: "Managers of all major departments, as well as senior executives, meeting in the conference room!"
With that, Ye Qingcheng tidied up a bit, left the office, and walked straight to the conference room.
The planning department.
By this morning, the storm Qingcheng International was facing was no longer a secret.
At this moment, many of the department's female employees were discussing this matter.
"Today, many reporters were blocking the CEO at the entrance of Qingcheng International, interviewing her, and claiming that Qingcheng International is about to face an unprecedented financial storm. Is that true?" Several women gathered, their eyes, like those of Fang Siying, glittering.
"I don't know!" Wen Xin shook her head, "If it's true, wouldn't we all be at risk of losing our jobs? I don't want to leave Qingcheng International; the benefits here are at least twice those outside!"
"Then what should we do? If that day comes, will we have to stick it out here?"
"Qingcheng International has deep roots; how could it face such a disaster, and besides, our CEO is a financial genius, right?"
"Not necessarily!" Cheng Jiaqing said, "According to those reporters, Qingcheng International's opponent should be Fengxing International. Fengxing International has been very aggressive lately, acquiring hundreds of companies big and small in the Celestial Capital!"
"So, there really is a possibility that Qingcheng International might follow in their footsteps!" Lin Xin asked.
"What are you gossiping about?" At this moment, a cold voice sounded, "Stop spreading rumors here; those are just baseless stories. Qingcheng International is currently operating just fine. If I hear you spreading rumors again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Luo Bing, carrying a handbag and stepping in high heels, passed by, and immediately the women fell silent.
