Chapter 66 No Loans Granted
Chen Yang landed ten slaps on Zhao Dahai, then waved his arm, throwing Zhao Dahai onto the office floor.
Duan Lili, standing beside them, screamed in terror. She pointed at Chen Yang and yelled furiously, "You useless piece of trash! Do you think you can do whatever you want just because Liu Ran is the director of Tianliu Commercial Building? You're a delivery guy, how dare you beat Big Brother Zhao here? You're not leaving this place today."
Liu Xiaomei's legs trembled as she pulled Liu Ran with one hand and Chen Yang with the other, desperately trying to walk out.
She didn't dare to stay any longer. She knew how terrifying Zhongyuan Transportation Group was.
If their men rushed over, the three of them would likely lose half their lives here.
Zhao Dahai's teeth had all fallen out. He spat out blood and foam, pointing at Chen Yang, seething with rage.
Just then.
Footsteps echoed from the office door.
A middle-aged man, carrying a briefcase, walked in.
This person was Hu Zhi, the branch manager of the Industrial and Commercial Bank.
Hu Zhi entered the office and paused for a moment upon seeing the scene.
His eyes swept over Chen Yang, then he walked forward respectfully, extending his hand to Chen Yang. "Ah, Mr. Chen is here too. What a coincidence."
Chen Yang glanced at Hu Zhi, his expression blank. He nodded slightly, saying nothing more.
At this moment, Zhao Dahai, who was lying on the floor, was filled with rage. He was about to call his men to charge up and chop Chen Yang and the other two to pieces.
Upon seeing Hu Zhi arrive, he quickly scrambled up, grabbed a tissue, and wiped the blood from his mouth haphazardly.
He had invited Hu Zhi here today to discuss a major business deal. Their Zhongyuan Transportation Company had recently acquired a piece of land for development and needed to secure a loan from the bank.
This was a project involving a billion yuan. Even a 0.01% reduction in the interest rate could save the company a significant amount of money.
Most importantly, Zhao Dahai would also receive a substantial bonus from this.
Zhao Dahai got up and quickly said to Hu Zhi, "Manager Hu, your arrival is truly unfortunate. These three scoundrels broke into my office and suddenly assaulted me, making you witness a joke."
Hu Zhi frowned upon hearing this. He ignored Zhao Dahai and instead looked at Chen Yang, asking with a hint of respect, "Mr. Chen, what is going on?"
Liu Xiaomei, standing beside Chen Yang, was extremely surprised. She hadn't expected Chen Yang to know Hu Zhi!
This was a good sign.
Liu Xiaomei worked in the financial system of Tianliu Group and naturally knew Hu Zhi's name.
As the branch manager of the ICBC branch, Hu Zhi's words and actions could influence the loan applications of a significant portion of enterprises in Qingzhou City.
Liu Xiaomei quickly said, "Mr. Hu, this is what happened. Zhao Dahai, in collusion with Duan Lili, borrowed thirty million from our Tianliu Commercial Building. Today is the payday for Tianliu Commercial Building and the day they agreed to repay the loan. However, Zhao Dahai refuses to repay, acting like a deadbeat. It's clear that they intend to prevent our Tianliu Commercial Building from paying salaries, thereby causing internal unrest."
Hu Zhi's face turned ashen. Although he didn't know Chen Yang's identity, he had seen the money in Chen Yang's card – it was tens of billions of funds!
He wondered how many families and groups in the entire country had such large amounts of liquid capital.
Even for large companies and groups with assets in the tens of billions, having a few hundred million in liquid funds on their books was considered good.
Chen Yang had tens of billions of funds lying dormant in his card, not needing to be used. This indicated that Chen Yang had far more wealth and assets behind him, thus he didn't need to use the tens of billions in his card.
Hu Zhi naturally understood that Zhongyuan Transportation Company was a trivial matter compared to Chen Yang.
Hu Zhi turned and looked at Zhao Dahai coldly, "Manager Zhao, you handled these matters, didn't you? Very good. Since you can be a deadbeat to other companies, deliberately not repaying their money, you can do the same to us at the bank. It seems the loan for Zhongyuan Company is no longer up for discussion."
Zhao Dahai's face changed drastically upon hearing this. He quickly grabbed Hu Zhi's arm and said timidly, "Mr. Hu, Manager Hu, there's a misunderstanding, truly a misunderstanding. We have a personal vendetta with Tianliu Commercial Building. Zhongyuan Transportation Company's past credit was impeccable, please don't worry."
Hu Zhi directly shook off Zhao Dahai's hand.
He picked up his phone and dialed Luo Supi, the chairman of Zhongyuan Transportation Company.
Hu Zhi said into the phone, "Old Luo, I'm in the manager's office now. There might be some issues regarding your company's desire to finance a billion yuan."
Luo Supi on the other end quickly replied, "Oh, Manager Hu, what's wrong? Didn't we already draft the preliminary intentions? Manager Hu, please wait in your office for a moment. I'll be there within a minute."
The call ended.
In about twenty seconds, Luo Supi, with his clothes disheveled, rushed into the office.
He quickly grabbed Hu Zhi's arm and said, "Manager Hu, what's wrong? Who made you angry? This project is a win-win project. Why has it suddenly become difficult?"
Hu Zhi snorted coldly. He shook hands with Luo Supi and said, "You should ask Manager Zhao about this. Manager Zhao borrowed thirty million from Tianliu Commercial Building and refused to repay it when it was due, deliberately acting like a deadbeat. This is a very serious matter, so I have doubts about the creditworthiness and qualifications of your Zhongyuan Transportation Company!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Supi backhanded Zhao Dahai with a loud "slap."
He turned and glared at Zhao Dahai, demanding, "Manager Zhao, what is going on? Why aren't you repaying the money you owe others? Repay it now."
Luo Supi was aware of some matters concerning Tianliu Commercial Building. However, he had a good relationship with Zhao Dahai, so he had turned a blind eye to the matter before.
But now that it involved a billion yuan loan for Zhongyuan Transportation Company, he could no longer tolerate it as before.
Zhao Dahai gritted his teeth in hatred, but he could only comply.
Zhao Dahai lowered his head and said to Luo Supi, "Yes, Mr. Luo, I understand. I'll have the finance department transfer the money to Tianliu Commercial Building immediately."
As he said this, a fierce glint flashed in Zhao Dahai's eyes.
He had already noted this debt in his heart and would not let it go.
Duan Lili, standing beside Zhao Dahai, was even more astonished. She could never have imagined that Liu Ran's useless husband, a low-level delivery person, had such a good relationship with Hu Zhi.
Hu Zhi was the branch manager of Qingzhou City!
How could someone of his stature be so respectful to a useless person like Chen Yang?!
This was not what Duan Lili wanted, but as things stood, she could only swallow her anger.
Chen Yang glanced at the expressions in Duan Lili and Zhao Dahai's eyes, understanding that these two would not let the matter rest.
Chen Yang spoke calmly, "Wait. Just returning the money might not be enough, right? Mr. Luo, does your company only punish such deliberate wrongdoers so lightly? Will it just be about making up for the mistake and that's it?"
