Yang Xingye was over fifty years old.

According to age and seniority, he could be considered a contemporary of Liu Guolin's father.

However, Liu Guolin did not show him any respect.

The hand that Yang Xingye extended hung stiffly in the air.

His complexion was extremely unsightly.

But Yang Xingye knew that Liu Guolin was not someone to offend,

especially at this life-and-death moment for the company.

So, he still put on a smiling face, asked Liu Guolin to sit down, and served her tea.

Liu Guolin snorted, her slightly long horse face stretching even longer.

"Minister Yang," she began, "let's get the unpleasant talk out of the way first."

"Today it was President Su who called Mr. Smith, asking us to come over to collect the payment."

"If you can't pay up, don't blame me for being impolite."

Yang Xingye was extremely anxious.

Up to this point, he had not received any instructions from Su Yinxue.

Yang Xingye could only nod and bow with a forced smile while urgently instructing someone to notify Su Yinxue.

Just then, the cool voice of Su Yinxue came through.

"What, Mr. Smith didn't come himself?"

"The business I need to handle today isn't something a minor credit department manager can decide on."

Su Yinxue and Liu Guolin had not been getting along well since the loan.

Especially these days, Liu Guolin had been kicking Yalan Group when it was down during its economic crisis, causing considerable trouble for the company.

So, as soon as Su Yinxue opened her mouth, she didn't leave any face for Liu Guolin.

Liu Guolin's face immediately turned an iron blue.

What Su Yinxue meant was that she wasn't qualified.

Liu Guolin said indifferently, "Mr. Smith sent me to collect the payment. Repaying the loan is my responsibility as the head of the credit department."

"President Su may not understand my responsibilities, but in a moment, you will deeply experience them," she added.

She stretched her horse face, and the several white patches there seemed to almost glow.

The threatening tone in her words was also unmistakable.

Su Yinxue said dispassionately, "Do as you please, it was just a friendly reminder."

"Let's begin," she prompted.

Yang Xingye was so anxious that beads of cold sweat seeped out from his forehead.

He knew very well that the company's corporate account had only less than two billion left in emergency funds.

How could it pay back a billion-dollar loan?

He even wondered if Su Yinxue's judgement had become clouded recently due to the immense pressure.

Yang Fei stood behind Su Yinxue, his eyes rolling, but he was secretly laughing to himself.

Just a moment ago, he had transferred a billion in funds through an international draft to the Yalan Group's corporate account.

Therefore, Su Yinxue was fearless.

Liu Guolin was stingy, but she was adept at her job.

And Yang Xingye was an experienced accountant.

Reconciling accounts and calculating interest were not an issue.

Everything proceeded smoothly and orderly according to protocol.

Soon, it was time for repayment.

A smug smile played at the corners of Liu Guolin's mouth.

She did not hide the schadenfreude on her face.

Yang Xingye, however, was sweating profusely.

With trepidation, he began the reimbursement process through the corporate account.

Liu Guolin glanced at Su Yinxue, who remained impassive, disquietingly quiet.

Liu Guolin couldn't hold back any longer and let out a cold laugh.

"Minister Yang," she said, "perhaps you should check the account balance first?"

"It would save everyone's time. As far as I know, your Yalan Group..."

"Minister Yang, just check the account balance, to ease some people's worries," Su Yinxue cut in, not letting Liu Guolin finish speaking.

Her words demonstrated unparalleled confidence and authority.

"But, President Su..."

Yang Xingye's face turned bitter.

He knew very well that there was less than two billion in the corporate account.

How could he dare to reveal the company's financial weakness in front of Liu Guolin?

"It's fine, go ahead and check. Maybe you'll be surprised. Just brace yourself."

Yang Fei understood Yang Xingye's concerns and said with a chuckle.

Liu Guolin listened to Yang Fei and Su Yinxue talking on the side, snickering to herself.

The finance department's elite staff were all aware of the company's situation.

All of them looked worried, sighing in secrecy.

Left with no other choice, Yang Xingye began to look up the company's financial details from the accounting system.

One minute later, Yang Xingye suddenly let out a shout of surprise.

"Ah, what is this... what's going on?"

He took off his thick glasses and rubbed his eyes desperately.

Then he put his glasses back on, his eyes almost glued to the computer screen, mumbling incessantly.

"It must be a mistake, how could this be..."

The rest of the finance staff, hearing the usually composed Yang Xingye so shocked, were naturally curious.

Everyone crowded around.

A group of young finance staff had just gathered around when they immediately burst into astonished cries.

"Good heavens, how come there is so much more money on the books?"

"Units, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousand, hundred thousand, millions, billions, this is twelve billion!"

"My god, let me have a smoke to calm down!"

"Damn, our company is the real corporate giant, a hidden dragon indeed."

...

Hearing the finance staff chattering away, Liu Guolin still remained disdainful.

She looked at Su Yinxue indifferently.

"President Su, actually, your company's management is quite effective, at least in terms of cohesion and mental strength."

"To have so many finance staff help President Su lie, it's enough to show President Su's leadership charisma."

As she said this, she sneered.

"However, false is false, no matter how much a poor person bluffs, they will never become rich. Now, I ask your company..."

At this point, a young man from the finance department cheerfully printed out a financial statement.

He hurried over to Su Yinxue.

The young man handed the financial statement to President Su, excitement filling his eyes.

"President Su, please take a look."

Su Yinxue smiled faintly and tossed the financial statement casually on the table.

She looked at Liu Guolin dismissively, "Director Liu, maybe you should take a look at this report before you continue."

"By the way, after the compensation is paid, our company will cease all business with your bank. There will not be a next time."

Liu Guolin sneered.

"Forgive my frankness, but it's questionable whether your company can survive this ordeal given its financial condition..."

As she spoke, she glanced casually at the financial statement.

That look made Liu Guolin's eyes bulge suddenly.

Her entire body seemed to be struck by a Paralysis Spell, unable to move.

It took a while for Liu Guolin to come back to her senses.

Looking at the huge alarming figures on the financial report.

She couldn't help but rub her eyes like Yang Xingye had done, uttering a cry of surprise.

"Oh my, this... what in the world is going on?"

Watching Liu Guolin's astonishment.

Su Yinxue spoke indifferently, "It seems, Director Liu, that you are quite familiar with our company's financial situation, aren't you?"

Liu Guolin shivered and quickly turned her head.

"President Su is mistaken, how could I know your company's financial situation..."

"I'm just astonished at the robust capital of your company, that's all."

Su Yinxue sneered, "Is that so?"

Her clear eyes, as serene as autumn waters, looked calmly at Liu Guolin.

"I hope Director Liu isn't lying, shall we proceed with the compensation process now?"

Liu Guolin suddenly couldn't bring herself to meet Su Yinxue's gaze.

Her voice became weak.

"Of course, let's continue with our work."

Seeing Liu Guolin's strange expression, Yang Fei suddenly became suspicious in his heart.

This old woman must have a problem!
