Chapter 119: Ma Chaoyun Fired

Wang Yichen bought shares in Xinfei Technology and then left Xingcheng Securities. The first thing he did after returning home was to investigate Chen Yang's background.

What pleased him was that Chen Yang was merely an ordinary farmer's son, without a powerful family background. Ordinary People Agricultural Products Trading Co., Ltd. was also just a small trading company that had only recently been registered. Although its growth speed was a bit fast, compared to Wang Clan Real Estate it was merely a tiny ant that could be easily crushed!

The only thing that made Wang Yichen uneasy was that the CEO of Ordinary People Agricultural Products Trading Co., Ltd. was his former subordinate Shen Anna. She had secretly returned to the country but hadn't told him. His heart suddenly felt a bit panicked…

In the major clients' room of Xingcheng Securities, Su Mingyue expressed great bewilderment at Chen Yang's stock trading behavior.

"Chen Yang, Xinfei Technology has hit the limit up, while Xingcheng Heavy Industry's stock has risen only a little over five points. We've already lost at the starting line—how can we compete with them?"

Chen Yang laughed: "Whether Xinfei Technology goes up or down tomorrow has nothing to do with me. What I want is to control the purchase cost of Xingcheng Heavy Industry and lower investment risk."

Su Mingyue whispered a reminder to Chen Yang: "You made a bet with someone. If you lose, you have to bark like a dog!"

Chen Yang shrugged and said indifferently: "I didn't sign any legal documents—what can he do to me?"

"This… isn't okay?" Su Mingyue looked at Chen Yang, shocked. She hadn't expected someone wealthy and somewhat influential to act like a rascal.

"What's wrong with that?" Chen Yang laughed at her: "You think that bastard will obediently bark like a dog if he loses?"

Su Mingyue was speechless. As it turned out, neither side of the bet intended to honor the promise. "Then what's the point of your wager?"

"Yes!" Chen Yang lowered his voice: "I know which stock he's buying, so I can screw him over!"

"How are you going to screw him?" Su Mingyue suddenly felt a bit excited. She felt that when she was with Chen Yang, the world of stocks always exceeded expectations, which was extremely stimulating!

Seeing that there were no outsiders left in the major clients' room, Chen Yang lowered his voice: "The recent surge in Xinfei Technology's stock wasn't due to any breakthrough in its own products, but because of business dealings with several well-known domestic tech companies. The recent drop is because a few of those tech companies have debunked the rumors. Now only one tech company hasn't debunked them yet. Guess which one?"

Su Mingyue curiously asked: "Which one?"

Chen Yang chuckled: "Liu Clan Group."

Su Mingyue immediately understood why Chen Yang didn't care at all about Xinfei Technology's ups and downs. As it turned out, he had known the outcome from the start. Then he pretended to tinker with Xingcheng Heavy Industry in front of Ma Chaoyun, letting the other side get overly excited.

Even so, Su Mingyue still felt uneasy: "What if Liu Clan Group indeed has business ties with Xinfei Technology?"

"Then we'll ruin it!" Chen Yang said: "Let Liu Shijie and Qingqing spread some rumors. Even if that doesn't work, I still have other trump cards."

While Chen Yang was betting with Wang Yichen, Su Mingyue not only worried that he would lose the bet, but also feared that after buying a large amount of Xingcheng Heavy Industry stock he would get stuck. Her mind could never find peace. Seeing him now so confident, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

Chen Yang suddenly remembered something and called for Su Mingyue to leave the major clients' room together. As soon as they stepped out, they saw Ma Chaoyun chatting and laughing with a Xingcheng Securities employee.

"Hey Ma, you're in a pretty good mood—do we still have unsettled scores?"

Ma Chaoyun's smile froze instantly; he looked at Chen Yang in panic. "Mr. Chen, isn't your bet with General Manager Wang not over yet?"

Chen Yang looked at him in surprise: "What does my bet with that bastard have to do with you? Or are you saying that bastard has godlike abilities, letting you ignore national law?"

Ma Chaoyun's face turned ashen as he looked at Chen Yang, pleading in a low voice: "Mr. Chen, please, as an adult don't hold a petty person's grudge—let me off the hook, okay?"

Chen Yang sneered: "When I was buying stocks earlier, you were laughing happily on the side, thinking I didn't notice?"

Ma Chaoyun felt embarrassed and didn't know how to respond. Since Wang Yichen's stock purchase operation was too simple and brutal, he had hardly anything to do, merely secretly observing Chen Yang's actions—and he had indeed laughed.

In his view, Chen Yang's behavior was far from normal. Normal people betting would surely push the stock to the limit up from the start to guarantee an invincible position. But Chen Yang fell behind Wang Yichen by several points on the first day. If Xinfei Technology stayed limit-up for the next two days, Chen Yang would have no chance to turn things around. So he really couldn't suppress the urge to laugh.

"Mr. Chen, I wasn't laughing at you—I was laughing at my dog. It gave birth to puppies today." Ma Chaoyun hastily made up a lie.

Chen Yang asked him: "Is it a male dog?"

Ma Chaoyun instinctively nodded and said: "Yes……"

Then the air fell silent again.

After a while, Chen Yang said impatiently: "While your coworkers are still at work, if you want to smoke, do it now. Otherwise, just wait for a lawyer's letter!"

Ma Chaoyun didn't want to make a fool of himself in public, so he plopped down on his knees before Chen Yang and begged: "Mr. Chen, I really know I was wrong—please let me off the hook, okay?"

Chen Yang didn't want to bother with such a petty person, so he had Su Mingyue call Qi Yunxiang over.

"Mr. Qi, your employee has been slandering my friend in the company and spreading rumors. If your company can't give an explanation, I'll consider sending a lawyer's letter as well."

Qi Yunxiang had actually been mentally prepared for this and had already made his decision. He spoke sincerely to Chen Yang: "Mr. Chen, rest assured—I will immediately send people to investigate this matter. If everything is true, the company will apologize to you and little Su, and will deal strictly with the parties involved."

Chen Yang was very pleased with Qi Yunxiang's attitude and immediately left Xingcheng Securities with Su Mingyue.

After Qi Yunxiang saw Chen Yang and Su Mingyue leave, he coldly looked at Ma Chaoyun sprawled on the ground and said: "Old Ma, I've warned you before not to offend people casually. Anyone who can enter the major clients' room has some powerful connections. You didn't heed the advice and even made things worse. So I can't be blamed for not showing sentiment. Pack up your things and get out!"

Ma Chaoyun, knowing his fate was sealed, asked Qi Yunxiang: "Mr. Qi, how much penalty can you give me?"

Qi Yunxiang looked at him with a strange gaze: "You've caused the company such a huge loss, and you still want a penalty? What are you thinking?"

Ma Chaoyun protested: "Mr. Qi, I've brought in a lot of business for the company over the years—though I may have no merit, I've put in effort. You can't be so heartless!"

Qi Yunxiang laughed: "Has the company not given you a salary? Or no bonus? I've only refrained from pursuing your responsibility for damaging the company's image because I see that you've indeed made some contributions over the years. Aren't you satisfied yet?"

Ma Chaoyun still unwilling, he fell back on a lesser request: "Mr. Qi, at least give me this month's salary, okay?"

Qi Yunxiang looked at Ma Chaoyun's pitiful appearance, felt reluctant, and finally agreed to his request: "Old Ma, take care of yourself from now on!"
