Chapter 54 Because He Blinked

Page 1 of 3

While Huang Feiyang was busy, Yang Yiyi and Chen Xiruo were far from idle. The two of them were fully engaged in matters concerning Xinyang International Trade. After securing 100 million US dollars, they had already contacted a headhunting firm to initiate a new round of recruitment. More precisely, they were relying on the headhunters to identify suitable talents of various kinds.

The expansion of Xinyang International Trade was far from reckless; it was a matter of riding the momentum. Following the widespread attention garnered by the dealings between Xinyang International Trade and the Li Group, the company had firmly established its reputation domestically. Even FY Technology’s chips were within their reach—a sign many companies and business figures interpreted as a symbol of strong capability.

As a result, numerous orders had come knocking on their door in recent days. The original scale of the company now seemed somewhat inadequate. Therefore, they had decided to expand.

By the time the three of them had finished their respective tasks, it was nearly four o’clock in the afternoon.

“So tiring!” Chen Xiruo stretched lazily and looked at Huang Feiyang with admiration.

“Feiyang, I really admire you—running three companies and still handling it all with ease!”

“Yes,” Yang Yiyi nodded in agreement, “Xiruo and I manage just one company, and we’re already exhausted!”

“Actually, there’s no need to handle everything personally when running a company. It’s best to let professionals handle professional matters,” Huang Feiyang said with a smile. “Otherwise, you’d just wear yourself out completely.”

“You only need to firmly control personnel and financial powers, then steer the company in the right direction.”

Casting an amused glance at the two ladies, Huang Feiyang spoke slowly.

Hearing this, the two women nodded thoughtfully.

Personnel? Finance? The overall direction? Oh, so that’s how it is!

No wonder this guy looks so relaxed every day!

...

At dinner time in the evening, Huang Feiyang was stunned when he saw a news report. Li Wen actually tearfully explained in front of numerous media outlets the negative rumors about the Li Group that had circulated online.

To summarize briefly: he was heartbroken over his poor judgment in personnel matters. He expressed deep regret over the many illegal acts his trusted assistant had taken upon themselves without authorization over the years. Ultimately, he personally handed his assistant over to the authorities.

Between the lines, he implied that all the scandals were the fault of that assistant—that all the chaos was the result of his assistant’s misdeeds.

“Good grief!” Huang Feiyang murmured, amazed. “This guy really has no shame! Crying on cue and telling lies with his eyes wide open!”

Li Wen truly was a character. He actually intended to silence the masses this way? To explain matters to the board of directors and shareholders like this? And to their judicial authorities as well?

Impressive! Respectable!

Huang Feiyang muttered to himself.

“Is this really possible?” Chen Xiruo and Yang Yiyi, standing beside him, were also a little dumbfounded. Could they really do that? Publicly pin the blame on a scapegoat?

What was even more incredible was that the little old man—the assistant—had also appeared on camera, tearfully expressing remorse. He repeatedly confessed regret for deceiving his superiors, seeking credit, and falsifying matters for money.

“What’s wrong with that?” Huang Feiyang smiled faintly. “I guess Li Wen’s assistant was probably threatened.”

“How do you know that?” The two women perked up at his words.

“Because he blinked!” Huang Feiyang shrugged and jokingly said, “Isn’t there a saying in films? If you’re being threatened, blink your eyes!”

“Ugh!” The two women both rolled their eyes.

“Will this be the end of the Li Group’s troubles?” After some laughter, Chen Xiruo asked curiously.

“Maybe yes, maybe no,” Huang Feiyang said after some thought. “It depends on whether the investors, institutions, and retail shareholders buy it. And they still have to get past their judicial authorities.”

“One thing’s for sure—their stock price won’t rebound anytime soon.”

As he spoke, a look of certainty appeared on Huang Feiyang’s face.

If it doesn’t work out, I can always strike while they’re down again, he thought silently.

...

At dusk, inside Li Wen’s office at the Li Group.

“Finally, this matter has reached a stage of resolution!” Li Wen sighed, exhausted in body and mind.

Having personally handed his trusted subordinate over to the authorities, he felt no guilt. His mind was now consumed with one thing: to unearth the mastermind behind the scenes.

Revenge!

He would take ruthless revenge!

Otherwise, he simply could not swallow this grievance.

But who was the real mastermind? He had no clue at all. Only a handful of people had access to the incriminating information.

One was Fu Bo. The others were several major shareholders and directors. As for other insiders, he had long silenced them by various means.

Could there be a traitor among these few?

At the thought of this possibility, Li Wen became unsettled.

Besides uncovering and retaliating against the mastermind, what he most wanted now was revenge against Huang Feiyang and Yang Yiyi.

All these problems had started when Xinyang International Trade sued the Li Group and him personally.

Moreover, Huang Feiyang had cheated him out of 100 million US dollars!

The worst part was that even after spending the money, the turmoil in his own group did not ease but worsened.

Thinking about it made him feel deeply pained and frustrated.

But how exactly to take revenge? This was a question he had to ponder carefully.

Taking revenge against the two within China was unwise.

It seemed he would have to find a way to force them out of China instead.

Hmph!

While Li Wen was tangled in thoughts of revenge, Huang Feiyang was on another phone call.

His parents were calling again.

They were arriving in the capital tomorrow!

What made Huang Feiyang both amused and exasperated was that his parents had somehow learned about the marriage alliance attempts between Chen Xiruo, Yang Yiyi, and himself through their respective grandfathers.

During the call, they even joked with Huang Feiyang.

“Why not just settle the marriage alliance first?”

Huang Feiyang promptly used his youth as an excuse to brush the topic aside.

After hanging up, Huang Feiyang fell into deep contemplation.

Judging from his parents’ tone, they intended to hand over the Huang Group for him to manage?

Had they lost their minds?

He was only eighteen years old!

He was somewhat resistant to inheriting the family fortune. Moreover, the vast business empire he already commanded kept him busy enough.

Adding another group to manage would surely consume even more of his time and energy.
