Chapter 197: Zhuo Wenyuan Comes to Ask for Help

~7 min read 1,262 words

Chen Yang originally thought that after Zhang Jun's stocks were frozen, he and Qi Yunxiang would encounter Zhuo Wenyuan's snipe in the stock market. Unexpectedly, the situation at East River Securities was unusually calm.

Chen Yang and Qi Yunxiang pushed the stock to the limit-up, then quietly cashed out his shares at an average price of twenty-one yuan. His account total funds reached 246,260,000.

As for Qi Yunxiang, he sold his three million shares of Xingcheng Heavy Industry at an average price of twenty-one point five yuan. However, because he actively raised the price to sell off, he still had two million shares left with an average price of twenty yuan.

This price should be roughly comparable to Zhuo Wenyuan's cost. Considering his shareholding volume is smaller than Zhuo Wenyuan's, he still has confidence to withdraw safely.

After Chen Yang finished communicating with Qi Yunxiang, he immediately called Yexin to inquire about Zhuo Wenyuan's situation.

"Sister Xin, what happened over at East River Securities today? The stocks haven't moved."

"Zhuo Wenyuan has been taken away for investigation." The tone of Yexin on the other end of the phone was rather helpless. "You little brat are truly a jinx; whoever you provoke ends up unlucky. From now on I'll have to stay away from you."

Chen Yang gave an embarrassed laugh; he hadn't expected that reporting Zhang Jun would also implicate Zhuo Wenyuan. He then curiously asked: "What did Zhuo Wenyuan do?"

Yexin said impatiently: "I'm not the one investigating him, so how would I know? If you want to find out, you can have your wife or Chen Bing inquire."

"Then I'll not bother you." Chen Yang had no deep grudge nor life-and-death friendship with Zhuo Wenyuan, and had no interest in caring about his fate.

After hanging up, Chen Yang drove to the Common People's Meat Industry Co., Ltd. to supervise production progress.

Under Shen Anna's arrangement, these past few days advertisements for Common People's Sausage have been everywhere in Xingcheng and Qingshui City, from TV stations to print media, and then to various road traffic ads. This blanket-style promotion has brought very obvious effects. The latest order volume of sausages from the Common People's Agricultural Products Trading Company has exceeded one million boxes.

Meanwhile, the Common People's Meat Industry Co., Ltd.'s three production lines can only produce twenty thousand boxes of fifty sausages per day. To keep up with order demand, Chen Yang approved Song Yajun to temporarily add a night shift line. This not only ensures the orders are completed smoothly but also solves the company's employment issue.

At the same time, Yexin unexpectedly saw Zhuo Wenyuan at Worry-free Residence.

His complexion was slightly pale, devoid of color, as weak as after a serious illness; his originally bright and spirited eyes were now dim and listless, revealing deep fatigue and weariness. His overall mental state looked extremely poor, completely lacking the vigor and high spirits he had when trading stocks with them before.

"President Zhuo, are you alright?"

"President Ye, the client you introduced has gotten me into terrible trouble." Zhuo Wenyuan gave a bitter smile, saying that if he hadn't held to his principles and refused to help Zhang Jun embezzle company funds, he would already have been imprisoned.

"I'm sorry, I've heard about Zhang Jun's situation. I also didn't expect their company's finances to be so poor that they actually took bank loans to trade stocks." Yexin did not want to shirk her responsibility, after all Zhang Jun was indeed the person she introduced to Zhuo Wenyuan.

Zhuo Wenyuan sighed, hesitated for a moment, then gathered his courage to say to Yexin: "President Ye, could you help me with a favor?"

"Whatever it is, if I can do it, I'll definitely get it sorted." Yexin still had feelings for Zhuo Wenyuan, after all he had helped her earn a lot of money. Moreover, regarding the Zhang Jun incident, as the recommender she bore great responsibility. Therefore, within her ability, she was still willing to give him some compensation.

Zhuo Wenyuan's face flushed slightly as he whispered: "I was filmed in some compromising videos by the Zhang brothers. I don't know if President Ye can think of a way to help me get them back."

President Ye was stunned for a moment; in her impression Zhuo Wenyuan had always been a model husband, coming home on time every day and giving most of his personal income to his wife. Such a person actually messing around outside. Her worldview felt a bit shattered……

Fortunately, Yexin is someone who has seen much of the world, so she wasn't very surprised. "Alright, I'll take care of this for you. However, if anything similar happens again, don't come to me. I don't like cleaning up after people."

"Thank you, President Ye, I guarantee there won't be a next time." Seeing Yexin agree to help him retrieve the indecent videos from Zhang Jun's hands, Zhuo Wenyuan felt so grateful he almost knelt down to kowtow to her.

"Alright, go rest well!" Yexin, who no longer had a good impression of him, prepared to issue him an eviction order.

Zhuo Wenyuan was also perceptive; he immediately stood up and took his leave.

After Yexin saw him leave, she then called Zhang Peng.

"Zhang Peng, do you think I, a mere woman, am easy to bully?"

"President Ye, don't joke; we wouldn't dare offend you!"

"Hmph, I had Zhuo Wenyuan help you make money, so how did you treat him?"

"President Ye, you've misunderstood. We were just joking a little with President Zhuo."

"Hehe, you guys are quite good at joking—first a beauty trap, then a 'Immortal's Leap'?"

"President Ye, this really is a misunderstanding……"

"Alright, I don't care what your motives are. I'll just tell you this: Zhuo Wenyuan is my person. If you mess with him, I won't be polite to you either."

"President Ye, don't get angry; I'll delete the video right away."

"No, you should personally deliver it to Zhuo Wenyuan. Let him keep it at home as a collection, so he learns his lesson well."

"Alright, I'll contact President Zhuo right away."

After Zhang Peng hung up the phone, Yexin's face also turned gloomy.

Worry-free Residence holds absolute influence in Xingcheng's business circle, not only due to abundant personal connections but also because of a set of extremely strict integrity-and-mutual-benefit rules.

Zhang Peng and Zhang Jun openly set traps to scheme against Zhuo Wenyuan, the cooperation partner introduced by Worry-free Residence. This not only harmed Zhuo Wenyuan's interests but also severely damaged Worry-free Residence's reputation.

If we continue to turn a blind eye, others will inevitably follow suit, and Worry-free Residence's credibility will be completely wiped out.

Yexin paced back and forth in her office a few rounds, then decided to entrust the deed against Zhang Group to Chen Yang. Since they already had a grudge, he would certainly not show mercy.

Yexin picked up her phone and dialed Chen Yang's number.

"You little brat, I have evidence of the Zhang brothers' illegal crimes here. Do you want it?"

"How serious is it? If it's only a few days in jail, then forget it. I don't want to bring trouble upon myself over some trivial matter."

"Offenses like running an illegal organization for prostitution, drug use, extortion, forced stock trading, etc., should land them behind bars for a long time."

"That many? Interesting……"

"If you're interested, have someone first go to East River Securities to collect part of the evidence, then come to Worry-free Residence to get the rest."

"Okay!"
