Chapter 692: Tang Qingquan Gets Slapped

Director Chen, I've got good news: the stock Tang Qingquan bought was smashed yesterday.

Early this morning, Wang Lei rushed to Chen Yang's office to share the good news. Because of the news he received, Tang Qingquan got badly screwed this time, losing all the profit he'd made in the past few days.

That means Chen Yang won without a fight!

"General Manager Wang, stop meddling in others' affairs and focus your energy on game development!" Chen Yang wasn't really concerned about Tang Qingquan, although he was surprised by the other's situation.

"Director Chen, Tang Qingquan lost five hundred million this time; he's likely to lose his bet with you. Aren't you happy?" Wang Lei was surprised by Chen Yang's reaction. If it were him, he'd have already popped champagne to celebrate.

Chen Yang, while playing Landlord, said: "I never had any interest in competing with him. His wins or losses have nothing to do with me."

A hint of regret instantly appeared on Wang Lei's face as he reminded Chen Yang: "Director Chen, you're broad-minded and don't quarrel with Tang Qingquan. But he might not be the same. Based on my understanding of him, he'll definitely come to the company today to pick a fight."

Chen Yang laughed: "Let him cause trouble! It's not me making him lose money, so what's there to fear?"

Wang Lei sighed: "If that guy were reasonable, I wouldn't avoid him either."

Chen Yang hadn't expected Tang Qingquan to be such a difficult person. People like him really are a hassle.

After Wang Lei left, he called Chu Min.

"Chu Min, I heard Tang Qingquan crashed in the stock market. What's going on?"

"Hehe, you guess."

"I'm not interested in playing guessing games with you. Please tell him that stock market matters have nothing to do with me, and don't come bother me."

"Hehe, you're probably going to take the fall for this. It was your ex‑girlfriend who did it; she told me to buy Magic City Bank's stock, but before I could act, the market went haywire."

"……"

Chen Yang never expected that Chu Ning had placed a "curse" on Tang Qingquan; after hanging up, he couldn't help bursting out laughing.

"You Chen, laughing so smugly—indeed, this is your doing!"

A gloomy voice suddenly drifted in from outside Chen Yang's office. Immediately after, Tang Qingquan entered with a man in a black suit, followed by a nervous Wang Lei.

Chen Yang immediately wiped the smile from his face, feigned composure, stood up, and said to Tang Qingquan: "General Manager Tang, what wind blew you here?"

Tang Qingquan glared at Chen Yang with a murderous look and snorted: "You Chen, you know exactly what you've done!"

Chen Yang feigned confusion and asked: "General Manager Tang, what exactly did I do to make you so unhappy?"

Seeing Chen Yang still playing dumb, Tang Qingquan gritted his teeth and said: "You Chen, your loud laughter just now—wasn't it celebrating screwing me over in the stock market? Wait and see, I'll make you pay ten times over!"

Chen Yang replied without changing expression: "General Manager Tang, I'm laughing because my company will go public officially next month. As for whatever problem you had in the stock market, it has nothing to do with me. If you want to take it out on me because of this, I'll just have to accompany you."

Tang Qingquan snorted: "You Chen, you teamed up with those three institutions in Jingcheng and Hangcheng to screw me over, and now you're pretending innocence here. Once I find the evidence, I'll make sure you die an ugly death!"

Chen Yang laughed: "General Manager Tang, you're an executive at an international financial investment firm, yet you come here causing trouble without any evidence—don't you find that funny? If this gets out, the embarrassment won't be mine."

Upon hearing that, Tang Qingquan's face changed instantly. He questioned Chen Yang: "I had already formed an alliance with those three institutions. If it weren't for you trying to beat me by secretly meddling, why would they suddenly dump their shares?"

Chen Yang was defeated by the other's paranoia. He directly opened his laptop and let the other look at his recent two‑day trading record in the US stock market.

Seeing that Chen Yang had made 120 million USD in just two days, Tang Qingquan's face grew even uglier.

He used two‑thirds of the company's funds to earn five hundred million, while Chen Yang made nine hundred sixty million in just two trading days. This is a total slap in the face!

Seeing Tang Qingquan remain silent, Chen Yang broke the silence: "General Manager Tang, I've never been to Jingcheng or Hangcheng. Even if the company needs to expand there in the future, that's still future business. So the allies you claim betrayed you must have other reasons—or you should really investigate the truth. I'll just pretend today's incident never happened."

Tang Qingquan stayed silent for a full three minutes, then finally left with his companion.

Once he left, Wang Lei finally let out a long sigh of relief.

"Director Chen, you truly deserve the title of stock god—you defeated Tang Qingquan without even making a sound." Wang Lei's admiration for Chen Yang grew deeper.

Chen Yang thought of Tang Qingquan being screwed over by Chu Ning and running around like a headless fly, and couldn't help laughing again. After laughing for a while, he regained his composure and then said to Wang Lei: "General Manager Wang, if Tang Qingquan keeps causing trouble, I suggest we move the company to Xingcheng. The Dongjiang provincial party secretary Cheng and governor Liu have repeatedly urged me to relocate Three Stone Technology Company there."

Wang Lei heard that the two bigwigs of Dongjiangsheng were interested in his company and couldn't help feeling tempted.

"Director Chen, if Tang Qingquan keeps pestering us, I'll just report it to my family elders and move the company straight to Xingcheng."

Seeing that he still held a sliver of hope for Modu, Chen Yang immediately dropped the idea of further persuasion.

Forcing the melon won't make it sweet. Wang Lei's roots are in Modu; unless he has no retreat, it's hard for him to decide to leave his homeland.

After Wang Lei left again, Chen Yang called Lan Qiyun and asked her to investigate why Magic City Bank's stock suddenly crashed yesterday. The feedback was that Jingcheng had announced major positive news in the agriculture sector, with a lot of funds secretly flowing into the agriculture sector.

Regarding this, Chen Yang wasn't surprised at all. The only thing he couldn't figure out was why Tang Qingquan was kept in the dark about such major good news.

Meanwhile, while Chen Yang was guessing what wrongdoing Tang Qingquan had done to get abandoned by his allies, Chu Min, who lived in Tangchenyipin, was in her study shouting excitedly.

"Ning, come look—my agriculture stock hit the limit up at opening!"

"Sis, you only invested a few tens of millions, spread across ten stocks. Only one hit the limit up—what's there to get excited about? Maybe…"

"Shut up, old lady!"

"Alright, then I'm heading out."

"Are you going to look for Chen Yang?"

"Since you're not going to look for him, neither will I."

"Hmph, who said I'm not going? I'll go once the swelling on my face goes down."

"Sis, Chen Yang treats you so well—why would you harm him?"

"He treats me well, and I'm giving myself to him—how is that harming him?"

"Sis, Grandpa won't agree!"

"He doesn't even acknowledge me as his granddaughter anymore—do I still need to care whether he agrees or not?"

"……"
