Chapter 221: then title translation, then ===GLOSSARY=== then list

He saw the turnover amount above—it was actually enormous, and moreover, how many zeros followed it, even he himself couldn't say clearly.

Exactly, it's those two banks—have you discovered anything from these two statements?

They're running a deficit, and the banks seem to have been in a loss state recently—uh, no, this should be last month's data sheet, right?

Exactly, it is indeed last month's data sheet, and moreover, the two banks have now fallen into a difficult situation.

You mean his overseas banks have run into serious trouble?

Right, putting it bluntly, the funding chain has broken.

No wonder he suddenly shifted from overseas to domestic—turns out he ran into big trouble abroad.

Among these reasons, there's still one aspect, and importantly, he plans to come here just to obtain more funds, then pour all that money into replenishing the overseas banks.

You mean he intends to borrow domestically, then use it overseas to tide over this crisis temporarily, right?

Exactly, because he can't get a single cent from overseas, while domestically he still sees a blank market.

After hearing that, Xiao Ming merely nodded.

He finally understood—these two statements actually meant exactly that.

It seems you're still fairly familiar with these things, right?

Of course, I tell you—I'm a top graduate of the Finance Academy, and while I can't make sense of other things, the data sheets are definitely fine.

What—what did you say?

After Liu Peipei said that, Xiao Ming suddenly seemed to become very interested.

He never imagined that such a beautiful, delicate girl would actually be a Finance Academy graduate.

How? You don't believe me? Come, let me show you.

Speaking, he pulled out his phone, looked it up, and quickly placed a master's graduation certificate in front of Xiao Ming.

Do you see it? Master's degree.

Indeed, that's her graduation photo on it, and there's also a diploma that looks truly exquisite.

Heh, if you bought that online, it'd probably cost about a hundred bucks.

What do you mean? You're doubting me—are you saying my credentials are fake? I tell you, they're completely genuine, and I earned them myself.

How can I not believe it?

Xiao Ming merely turned his head and gave Liu Peipei another look.

At this moment, her outfit and the image of a master's graduate from that university are simply two different personas.

Who says after graduating college you can't dress like this? Anyway, I like this style.

Fine, even if you're a Finance Academy graduate, what does that prove? And where did you get these statements? How do I know you won't palm off some fakes on me?

Well, if you don't believe me, you can verify all the data on those sheets—both banks have official websites where they publish quarterly financials, so you should be able to dig up some clues from there.

Okay, I got it—leave this with me for now, I'll see if it can be useful later; also, what else do you have?

Besides, they came here to gather funds, but there's another possibility—though it hasn't been confirmed yet, I don't dare speak lightly about it.

Speak up—what exactly do you want to do?

Liu Peipei acted mysterious, then leaned her head in.

Soon Xiao Ming smelled a strong perfume on her, though he didn't seem to like that scent much.

He merely stepped back a bit in distaste.

He also kept a certain distance from Liu Peipei all along.

It's the middle of the night now, and the room only has us two—feel free to speak openly; no third party will hear.

Alright, I'll tell you—they might be trying to move funds.

What? Move funds?

Right, I heard they've made a lot of money overseas, and although those two banks have been running deficits these past two years, ultimately all the money ended up in their relatives' hands.

You mean he moved all that bank's money out and then indirectly invested it in these projects?

Exactly, that's one of their methods for moving funds, though this rumor isn't fully confirmed yet—I need to keep investigating.

Good, this news will also be very important to me; although I don't know the source or legality of your information, I'll verify it one by one.

Don't worry, I absolutely won't deceive you, and do you really think I'd come out in the middle of the night just to mess with you?

No matter what, I'm still grateful for this; it's getting late, so let me arrange someone to send you back first.

What? Send you back?

Liu Peipei seemed to have no intention of leaving after arriving here.

So when the suggestion was made for her to leave, she indeed showed some differences.

Of course we should send you back—dawn is approaching, and you've stayed here all night, which really seems hard to justify.

What could you do back there anyway? And aren't you currently in need of help?

Heh, I think you've got it wrong—I do need people, but I can't use you right now; I appreciate your feelings, though—go back.

Well, okay then—when I go back, I'll keep digging up news on Zong Long for you, but you can't keep changing your phone number; I can't keep up if you keep switching.

Heh, I haven't even asked you yet—where did you get this phone number from?

This, I'm certainly going to keep secret—if I told you, you'd surely get carried away later; don't worry, even if you change your number again, I'll still be able to find you. All right, goodbye—I won't say more.
