23 In The Credit Business (2/2)

He hung up the phone.

He was so happy, he already started planning what he wanted to buy to celebrate. He couldn't wait to tell his wife and daughter the happy news.

What Li Wang failed to notice again was the tone of Han Liu's voice was strained and contained fear.

...

At the Orchid credit agency- Gold and Purple card

Chen Ma and Cao Feng sat in front of their boss and the owner of the Orchid credit agency, Xǔ Junjie.

Chen Ma and Cao Feng were sweating so much it looked like they had been caught in a thunderstorm.

Xǔ Junjie: ”You've both been doing thing's against company regulations, do you think I wouldn't find out?”

Chen Ma begged: ”Ceo Xǔ we were wrong, we were wrong please forgive us!”

Xǔ Junjie: ”How much did Li Wang pay the both of you to illegally add his name to Dr. Li Xiuying's accounts as an additional card holder? You not only added him, but his whole family!”

Xǔ Junjie was fuming. When Ren Shirong had called him earlier explaining the situation he was astonished that someone would be stupid enough to do this within HIS company. But he was more upset at the prospect of getting on the bad side of Dr. Li. She was known as Death's Escape, she could bring you back from the depths of hell with her surgical skills.

Who wouldn't want to know such an accomplished and skillful surgeon?!

Xǔ Junjie immediately launched an investigation to find out how many rats there were in his company. He had all computer and phone records checked as well as security footage and employee records. The investigation uncovered numerous employee's committing fraud, making non-business related phone calls, even sleeping on the job the list was endless. But most importantly, the report detailed countless changes being made to Li Xiuying's account by Cao Feng and Chen Ma.

He immediately ordered Cao Feng and Chen Ma to his office and waited for Li Wang to call them.

Xǔ Junjie knew that Li Wang would call, looking at the spending on the cards there wasn't a single day a transaction wasn't made by at least one of the Li family.

After Cao Feng and Chen Ma had finished talking to Li Wang they started begging for mercy.

Cao Feng: ”We were wrong, we were wrong, we'll never do it again. We were momentarily blinded, it was just this once. Only Once!”

Xǔ Junjie chuckled and put a stack of papers in front of each of them.

Xǔ Junjie: ”Read”

Cao Feng picked up one of the papers: ”Jing Ma, additional card holder Jing...”

Cao Feng started shaking as he read out all the names on the report, there must have been over 90 names. They were the names of accounts he had changed, he added additional card holders, increased the interest rates, changed credit limits, added additional services, closed accounts. He started flipping through the pages; they detailed every single shady dealing he undertook.

Chen Ma was looking at a similar report about himself.

Chen Ma: ”wh..at ar re e e, you going to do with us?”

Xǔ Junjie: ”Mmm well I am in the business of credit. I'll be taking what you owe me with interest.” He gave them a sinister smile.

Chen Ma and Cao Feng shook even harder. Cao Feng even had a foul smelling liquid dripping down his legs. They both seemed to finally have recalled that their CEO was not someone who they should have crossed. Xǔ Junjie was previously a king in the underworld scene before he had decided to go on the straight and narrow. Xǔ Junjie developed a legitimate and prosperous business through his hard work and determination to create a better life for himself.

Xǔ Junjie thought about all of the people that the investigation had unearthed, all the people who thought they could take advantage of him.

Clearly people are forgetting where I came from, it was time to remind them.

Han Liu was suffering the same fate as Cao Feng and Chen Ma at the hands of CEO Sima Hwei-ru.

Sima Hwei-ru may not have been part of the underworld, but hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
