Chapter 174: Switching Allegiance

The limit-up of Xiao'e Shares also boosted Xingcheng Heavy Industry's stock, which rebounded as well. At the close, it rose five points, reaching twenty-one yuan three jiao seven fen.

This result let Dongjiang Securities' CEO Zhuo Wenyuan heave a deep sigh of relief. Only if Xingcheng Heavy Industry halts its decline does their new alliance's stock have a chance to withdraw unscathed.

"Ms. Ye, thank you for pointing it out at the critical moment." Zhuo Wenyuan looked gratefully at Yexin. He had originally planned to sell at the limit-down price to cut losses today, but it was her forceful obstruction that avoided a major financial loss.

"You don't need to thank me; this idea came from Chen Yang." Yexin this time didn't bother to consider Zhuo Wenyuan's face. In major event decision-making, his performance truly disappoints.

Zhuo Wenyuan stared for a moment, but after thinking a bit he regained his composure. He felt this wasn't Chen Yang's achievement, so he told Yexin: "Actually, I myself panicked. The stock price has fallen to this level; even the short side doesn't have much profit left. They couldn't keep hurting each other. Today, when Xiao'e Shares rose, our situation changed instantly. Speaking of which, we should thank the big player manipulating Xiao'e Shares."

Huang Bai Ming also agreed with Zhuo Wenyuan's view. He excitedly said: "This Xiao'e Shares' rise today is perfectly timed. We should go talk to them and see if there's a chance to cooperate."

Yexin snorted coldly, and in front of Zhuo Wenyuan and company she logged into three accounts on the computer. Seeing that all three of Yexin's accounts held Xiao'e Shares stock, Zhuo Wenyuan's face instantly turned ugly.

Meanwhile Huang Bai Ming was very excited, and he directly gave Yexin a thumbs-up. "Ms. Ye, I never expected you'd also play borrowing the east wind. Using a small account to push up Xiao'e Shares' stock price, then letting Xingcheng Heavy Industry ride its wind to rally. This level of operation, I am completely convinced."

Yexin sighed and said: "I don't have that ability. This came from exchanging my advertising resources with Chen Yang. I accumulated years of personal connections, and he swapped them all away after just one stock operation. I even owe him a favor now."

Huang Bai Ming fell silent at once.

Although Zhuo Wenyuan had already guessed the answer beforehand, when Yexin said it in front of everyone he couldn't help but feel embarrassed. "Ms. Ye, I'm sorry; my mistake caused you to suffer a loss."

Yexin waved her hand and said calmly: "I exchanged my personal connections for money, so there's no loss to speak of. I just want to remind you to learn from others' strengths and stop playing petty tricks."

Zhuo Wenyuan never expected his little scheme to be seen through by Yexin again, leaving him ashamed and with nowhere to hide.

Yexin glanced at Zhuo Wenyuan and warned: "I'll tell you one last time—don't provoke Chen Yang. His network is stronger than you imagine. If they drag out the people behind him, even I can't save you."

Zhuo Wenyuan instantly broke out in a cold sweat from Yexin's words. His database only shows Chen Yang as an ordinary farmer's son who made his first pot of gold by buying balls at Wuyou Ju, then grew his funds ever larger through the stock market.

He had thought Yexin was Chen Yang's biggest backer, so as long as he didn't cross her bottom line, playing a few petty tricks to hassle Chen Yang wouldn't matter much. He never expected this time he'd kicked an iron plate.

"Ms. Ye, could Mr. Chen be a relative of that big shot in the Political and Legal Affairs Commission?" Zhuo Wenyuan pondered for a long time; the only person in Dongjiangsheng who could make Yexin wary threefold and also surnamed Chen is the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of Dongjiangsheng.

Yexin smiled and said: "Mr. Zhuo, you're quite good at guessing."

Zhuo Wenyuan instantly became nervous and fearful. "Ms. Ye, is it still timely for me to go apologize to Mr. Chen now?"

"No need." Yexin shook her head and said: "I've already covered for you this time. Don't let it happen again!"

"Ms. Ye, rest assured. Even if you lent me a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare have a next time." Zhuo Wenyuan, an ordinary commoner, would dare not provoke the family of a provincial-ministerial-level big shot. If Chen Yang appeared before him now, he would drop to his knees and kowtow in apology.

"Alright, don't think about anything else—first manage Xingcheng Heavy Industry's stock well. Don't disappoint us again." Yexin didn't want to say more; her goal was simply to have Zhuo Wenyuan focus on that stock, so she could cash out her shares early and secure her gains.

Zhuo Wenyuan immediately promised: "Ms. Ye, rest assured; as long as the market trends upward tomorrow, I will surely do my utmost to help everyone withdraw safely."

Yexin didn't say anything else, after closing her three stock accounts she went home.

The reason she tacitly accepted Chen Yang as a relative of the Dongjiangsheng Chen family was actually to intimidate Zhuo Wenyuan on purpose. Because she knows Zhuo Wenyuan too well—he can't stand seeing industry rivals do better than him.

Since he knows Chen Yang helped him profit from stock trading, he will surely sneak over to sabotage. Therefore, only by letting him know Chen Yang's background is formidable will he abandon the idea of meddling with Xiao'e Shares.

And the funds in Xiao'e Shares are extremely important to Yexin; there truly cannot be the slightest mistake.

After Yexin left, Huang Bai Ming and Zhao Feiyang also took their leave. Knowing that Chen Yang leans on the big tree of the Dongjiangsheng Chen family, they tacitly prepared to switch allegiances.

One is a profitable ally with background; the other is a stock advisor lacking background who constantly causes trouble—any fool knows which to choose.

Huang Bai Ming had just sat in his own car when he called Zhao Feiyang: "Mr. Zhao, want to go sit with Mr. Chen for a while?"

"Sure!" Zhao Feiyang replied cheerfully. After experiencing the stampede accident at Xingcheng Heavy Industry, he also lost confidence in Zhuo Wenyuan. Still, he had a worry: "Mr. Huang, should we say hello to Ms. Ye?"

"What greeting? Didn't you see Ms. Ye directly toss her little treasury over? She didn't say it to his face, probably because she didn't want to hurt Zhuo Wenyuan's pride. But we don't need to give him face!" Huang Bai Ming spoke rudely; he held a deep grudge against Zhuo Wenyuan. If it weren't for Zhuo Wenyuan's interests being tied to Yexin's, he would have turned against him long ago.

"Then where should we go find Mr. Chen?" Zhao Feiyang, because of the alliance matter, had always felt embarrassed to call Chen Yang directly.

"Let's go to the office building of the Old People's Agricultural Products Trading Company." Huang Bai Ming said: "Their company isn't doing investment promotion in the online sales sector, is it? I'm also quite interested in this project, so we can first go talk about it."

Zhao Feiyang instantly felt a bit awkward: "Mr. Huang, if you go discuss cooperation, what am I supposed to do?"

Huang Bai Ming laughed: "You can go promote villas! See if their company is still interested in increasing real estate investment."

Zhao Feiyang thought it over and felt this was also a viable reason. Worst case, we'll just give Shen Anna a bigger discount.
