Chapter 67 You Can't Afford to Offend
Chen Yang certainly couldn't let Zhao Dahai off so easily. Leaving Zhao Dahai in his position would always be a threat to Liu Ran.
Hu Zhi, standing nearby, heard Chen Yang's words and reacted. Indeed, Zhao Dahai had publicly admitted to having a conflict with Chen Yang's people earlier. How could he have forgotten this? Hu Zhi would naturally not miss this opportunity to curry favor.
He frowned and said to Luo Supei, "Mr. Luo, Mr. Chen is my friend, and his opinion is my opinion. If your company employs people like Zhao Dahai, we, the bank, will not be able to trust you when we cooperate. The prerequisite for cooperating with us is that you must thoroughly dismiss and legally prosecute someone like Zhao Dahai. I believe that such a person must have many unspeakable secrets. Moreover, as your general manager, he is currently entangled with the financial supervisor of the other company, maintaining close and collusive relations. Mr. Luo, you must also be curious about how much embezzlement has occurred in this process, right?"
Hearing this, Luo Supei's expression changed, and his brows furrowed. Zhao Dahai, standing at the back, heard these words and immediately knelt down with a "plop." He directly hugged Luo Supei's thigh and said, "Brother, brother, I have been loyal to you. I have been with you since you were just a bouncer in Qingzhou City. We have gone through so many storms together and now established Zhongyuan Transportation Company. If I wanted to make money, why would I wait until now? Brother, you must save me. Our relationship is very good; we know each other inside out."
Zhao Dahai's words made Luo Supei's face turn completely red. Although Zhao Dahai was begging for mercy, his words were more of a threat. After all, Zhao Dahai and Luo Supei had a very close relationship. Although Luo Supei was now the president of Zhongyuan Transportation Company, his first pot of gold was not clean. Before establishing Zhongyuan Transportation Company, he was involved in illegal dealings and even committed murder to escape retribution. Once Zhao Dahai was sent to prison, all their past misdeeds would be brought to light, and he would not be able to escape legal prosecution.
Thinking of this, Luo Supei's expression turned grim. He let out a cold laugh, looked at Hu Zhi opposite him, then at Chen Yang, and his tone changed completely. Previously, Luo Supei had been very respectful towards Hu Zhi. But now, he knew that the conflict between the two sides was irreconcilable.
Luo Supei said coldly, "Branch Manager Hu, aren't you meddling a bit too much?!" He continued, "And as for this 'loser' friend of yours, who do you think you are, to dare to dictate to me in the office of my Zhongyuan Transportation Company? And you want me to fire my general manager? It's true that you know Branch Manager Hu, and I will give Branch Manager Hu some face, but you are not worthy of making me fire my employees. Now, I have ordered him to return that thirty million. You and I take a step back, and we can all live in peace. If you are still ungrateful, especially you three useless people from Tianliu Commercial Building, and dare to be aggressive, then don't blame me, Luo Supei, for acting without regard for righteousness."
As Luo Supei finished speaking, the atmosphere in the office changed dramatically. Hu Zhi's face turned ashen with anger. He hadn't expected Luo Supei's attitude to completely reverse by 180 degrees and refuse to give him any face. Hu Zhi quickly said to Chen Yang, "Mr. Chen, please wait a moment." Then, Hu Zhi turned to Luo Supei and said, "Mr. Luo, so you are this kind of person. It seems I misunderstood you before. Since you are so dishonest, protecting a deadbeat and harboring trash like Zhao Dahai, then I don't think our cooperation needs to continue. I will also speak with other bank managers about your other loan projects at Zhongyuan Transportation Company. I believe your transportation company will not be able to sustain itself."
Hu Zhi finished speaking and waited for Luo Supei's reaction. He could only threaten Luo Supei in this way now. Hu Zhi was determined to win over Chen Yang, so he had thrown out all his trump cards and was looking at Luo Supei.
At this moment, Luo Supei had nothing left to lose. He heard Hu Zhi's words and let out a cold laugh, then suddenly reached out and slapped Hu Zhi across the face. Luo Supei pointed at Hu Zhi's head and said, "Hu Zhi, who the hell do you think you are? I used to respect you as a branch manager and needed your cooperation, so I smiled and tried to build a relationship with you. But now, you're ungrateful. Do you really think you're someone important? Take away your position, and you're nothing. Do you have a million in assets? Is your father some big shot? Let me tell you, in Qingzhou City, I can make you disappear with ease. Also, dare to refuse my loan? Do you know who is backing our Zhongyuan Transportation Company? It's Boss Hong San. Boss Hong San owns fifty-one percent of this ten-billion project. If you dare not approve this ten billion today, I'll make sure you're found dead in the street tonight, believe it or not?"
Hu Zhi was furious at first, but when he heard that this industry was fifty-one percent owned by Boss Hong San, his face completely changed. He covered his face, his expression becoming timid. He could confront Luo Supei, but he was absolutely no match for Boss Hong San. Moreover, Luo Supei was right; he only held this position, so these company bosses had to give him some face. If he retired or was transferred from this post, his assets and prestige would be far inferior to these company bosses, and even less so to Boss Hong San.
Hu Zhi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his face turning red. Although he was unwilling, he could only swallow his anger. Hu Zhi turned to Chen Yang and said cautiously, "Mr. Chen, why don't we just let it go? You get your thirty million back, and there's no need to make further trouble. After all, we are not suitable to interfere with Boss Hong San's business, lest we displease him."
Chen Yang frowned upon hearing this. Luo Supei, standing beside him, immediately said, "Oh, right, thirty million, wasn't it? I'm very sorry, but whether the thirty million is returned or not depends on Manager Zhao's decision. It has nothing to do with me."
Zhao Dahai, standing next to Luo Supei, heard this and his face lit up with joy. He finally reacted. He laughed heartily and immediately said to Luo Supei, "Thank you, Mr. Luo, thank you." Then, Zhao Dahai looked at Chen Yang, pointed at Chen Yang's head, and said, "You bastard, you beat me up so badly just now, didn't you? Weren't you so arrogant just now? You thought you were the king of the world just because you knew a small bank employee and dared to lay hands on me. Today, none of you three will leave this company."
