Yalan Headquarters, located on the 38th floor of the Star Era Building in the New Economic Development Zone, Xihua District.

In the grand meeting hall of Yalan, President Su Yinxue was holding an urgent meeting.

Almost all mid to senior level management had arrived in the meeting hall.

President Su had not yet arrived; however, many company executives had already received insider information.

There was a lot of chatter among them.

"I heard that Yingxia Bank suddenly announced that our bank loan was due prematurely and demanded immediate repayment. Is this news true or false?"

"No smoke without fire, otherwise, why would an urgent meeting be convened today?"

"It's all over, Yalai just took orders from all sides, and the spring clothing had just entered production. At this critical juncture, funds are extremely tight. How can President Su have the money to compensate?"

"Damn it, those bastards are deliberately choking us. What if we don't compensate?"

"Alas, owing a bank loan is no small matter. They can sue us. Besides, Zhongxia Bank is a foreign bank, and many connections won't work."

…

In the President's office, Su Yinxue was holding a phone, still negotiating with Yingxia Bank.

"Respected Mr. Smith, please believe in the strength of Yalan Group."

"For your company's ten billion loan, we absolutely have the capacity to compensate on time. Please…"

On the other phone, Smith's arrogant voice was heard.

"I'm sorry, President Su, I can't help you."

"Considering your company's product fraud, we can conclude that your group's behavior significantly compromises the safety of the loan, thus the acceleration of the loan's due date."

"I don't want to say more. Please repay your company's loan and interest to my company by transfer or draft before twelve o'clock tomorrow."

"But my company…"

Su Yinxue wanted to say more.

The other party said "sorry" and then hung up the phone.

Listening to the dial tone on the other end of the phone, President Su felt utterly powerless.

She slumped in her chair, sighing heavily.

Three days ago, Yalan Group had suddenly received a summons from the Provincial People's Court.

It was all caused by a business deal worth over five million.

The other party was a foreign enterprise that had invested over five million to order work clothes and suits for their employees.

For Yalan Group, this was just a minor business deal, and Su Yinxue hadn't paid it much attention.

Once the design drawings had been approved by the client, production began.

The client had also paid half of the deposit.

However, on the day of delivery, the client suddenly refused to accept the goods.

The client's staff pointed out that the batch of work clothes and suits had not been made strictly according to the design drawings, and there had been alterations.

Su Yinxue received a report from the public relations department staff and was somewhat surprised.

She immediately organized the design department staff to review and verify.

It turned out that indeed, the batch of clothes was not produced according to the client's requested drawings.

The design drawings for this batch of clothing included three options, A, B, and C, for the customer to choose from.

The customer had chosen option A, but the clothing that was produced was model B.

No wonder the customer refused to accept the goods.

Normally, such an issue would be simple to resolve.

Either Yalan Group would have to reproduce, or they would make a concession on the price.

After all, each of the three styles had its merits.

However, the client was relentless, accusing Yalan Group of defrauding them.

The client sued Yalan Group and simultaneously took to the news media.

Moreover, the client stirred up substantial hype on various online media.

In an instant, the highly esteemed Yalan Group burst into a massive scandal.

Tens of thousands of internet trolls launched a tirade online, creating a tumultuous public outcry.

The situation had developed to a level even Su Yinxue had never anticipated.

And this issue's malign fermentation ultimately led to Yingxia Bank's declaration.

The one billion Huaxia currency loan given to Yalan Group was to be recalled ahead of schedule.

This one billion loan was the financial guarantee for Yalan Group's production of spring clothing.

Once recalled, the financial chain would break.

A broken financial chain is a catastrophe for any company.

The worst part was the malicious speculation in public opinion.

Many large domestic apparel trading companies that had just established supply and demand relationships with Yalan Group unilaterally announced the suspension of contracts.

When the walls fall, everyone pushes.

After Yalan Group's crisis, companies large and small, worried about their debts turning bad, came knocking for their money.

And many envious competitors also intensively suppressed and encircled Yalan Group.

A tremendous burden weighed on Su Yinxue's delicate shoulders.

However, it is in the torrent of the Endless Sea that a hero's true colors are shown.

At this critical moment, Su Yinxue demonstrated the domineering and astuteness of a business iron lady.

Over several consecutive days, Su Yinxue held news conferences.

She calmly acknowledged the company's mistakes and presented her sincerity and determination to make amends.

At the same time, she promised the creditors, both big and small,

to pay off all debts clearly and promptly, without dragging her feet.

Additionally, she personally communicated with the CEOs of various apparel trading companies one by one.

She personally explained the reasons for the incident.

Su Yinxue worked to minimize the negative impact of this incident as much as possible.

It could be said that these three days were critical for the company's survival.

They were also three days of frenetic battling for Su Yinxue.

Su Yinxue had not rested at all during this time.

But now, she found that she could no longer hold on.

The one billion loan weighed on her like a mountain.

No matter how capable Su Yinxue was at winning people's hearts and maintaining the company's image,

the one billion loan was indeed Real Gold and Silver that needed to be repaid.

Once Zhongxia Bank took Yalan Group to court,

all the effort and heart Su Yinxue had put into maintaining the company's image would be in vain.

The more she faced these challenges, the more Su Yinxue missed Yang Fei.

If that damn man were here, she would at least have a solid shoulder to lean on.

Even if it were only temporary psychological comfort.

But that guy had silently gone abroad on a trip with Mad Blade Fan Yi.

It was said that they had gone to Hawaii.

And his damned local phone had not made a call since he went abroad.

Su Yinxue sat behind her office desk, staring blankly.

A minute later, Su Yinxue left the CEO's office, looking invigorated and resolute.

There was no choice, Su Yinxue had to force herself to appear this way.

She had to set an example for her employees to inspire them to fight alongside her.

As soon as Yang Fei arrived at Longyuan Villa, Lin Xueyi rushed out and embraced him completely.

Her face was full of reproach.

"You little jerk, you left without saying a word, do you know that Yalan Group is in big trouble?"

"What big trouble?"

Yang Fei was unconcerned.

Lin Xueyi explained the crisis at Yalan Group swiftly and concisely.

"Damn, I go out for a bit, and someone tries to stage a revolt."

"This is blatantly a business frame-up, you guys fell for someone else's evil plot."

Yang Fei's eyes widened, cursing and swearing.
