On the way, Xiao Zhao explained what had happened to Li Sui Tong Yan corporation had a subsidiary company that did P2P finance, that company was under fire That company's investors heard news of its proble in finance, just hearing P2P would explain everything, but Li Sui didn't knohat that was Xiao Zhao didn't really kno to explain it fully either, so he tried to give a basic explanation
P2P finance was so like a platform, people who lacked money to start a business will put their cases up the platform, while those with h, a lot of retired elderly people liked it Ast these people, ood investot a lot of s in the platforh risks
At the beginning, when they invested, they otten some money out of it, so even those ere skeptical jumped all in too However, that didn't persist Just recently this month, many who invested in P2P companies found that the interest wasn't paid back to their account The platforave all sorts of explanations to calm the masses, but they couldn't stop the situation fro In the end, soet their principal value back
Tong Yan's subsidiary co Xin, it was established by Liu XinTian Lu Shang didn't see a future for this business, so he never took part in it A subsidiary company was different from a branch company, they did business separately, their debts weren't connected to each other either Hence this should have nothing to do with Lu Shang, Tong Yan also didn't have the responsibility to deal with Tong Xin's problems However, all of these in the ears of the elderlies were like excuses
Actually, there was a lot of news saying the economy this year was bad Plus, a lot of P2P companies bailed this year, so the elderlies were all very worried to begin with Tong Xin was already one of the better P2P co, the coot through this period of ti should return norht, so to shut down, the higher-ups werepreparations to take the s and spread across all the elderly people
At five thisYan's parking lot Less than an hour after that, scores of elderly people went to the co they wanted their reeted” all thesure that even if these reporters fil arrived, the people outside already protested for a long time They were still old people, so there was a lith Plus, the weather was bad, it was about to rain, so the atmospheric pressure was low Everyone sat on their little plastic chairs, looking like they would coet theirXin is doing now, but even if the co to do with director Lu Why are they protesting here at Tong Yan?” Xiao Zhao drove the car while saying, ”Also, letprepared, even huge banners and chairs Nothis for a while already”
Li Sui didn't knohat Liu XinTian had planned, but Lu Shang knew very clearly The only thing was, Lu Shang didn't expect Liu XinTian would rather side with an outsider to attack hi's face was dark, everyone in the conference roos had escalated to this point, even if no one said it, everyone kneas behind this
”Director Liu probably won't come, he asked Li JinYao to shi+p some stuff early on this year, I heard those sank with the shi+p as well” A neyer they hired said
Xe WeiLan looked like he was about to explode, ”From what I see, Liu XinTian withheld the money himself to trip us!”
Only Xe WeiLan dared to say that, even though everyone knew so in their hearts
”How did they know the relationshi+p between Tong Yan and Tong Xin? They even ca theet clean, our reputation is especially important now He deliberately chose this time to cause trouble, the problem with the shi+p could be resolved so easily, but now…”
”Say, you don't think Liu XinTian really took the investors' ht?”
When Li Sui walked into the conference rooht a sandwich and yogurt, but seeing the atmosphere, he didn't take them out, he hid thee stor again Lu Shang frowned, he knew things couldn't stay like this, he discussed with a few others to calm the protestors first All of the protestors were elderlies, if any of theer problem in their hands
Li Sui sat quietly on a chair by the door, outside the conference room He didn't say a word; he couldn't help either However, staying here, guarding here, it made him feel better After Li Sui visited the company a few tireeted him
Li Sui tilted his head to look inside, he saw Lu Shang talking with so and had a serious look on his face After a while, it seereement, they walked out of the room in a hurry separately, Li Sui naturally followed
Lu Shang assigned duties to four people, one of the higher-ups as close to Lu Shang was assigned to control the situation inside the cootiate with the protestors The laho bravely pointed this incident as Liu XinTian's doing was to talk with the police Apart fro called Zuo Chao's people to mix into the protestors just in case
The police dispatched people to the scene very early on, but they couldn't do anything to the protestors either, they were elderly people after all So after they talked with the protestors and failed, they were just standing around, doing nothing But you couldn't really bla happened, they didn't want to be held responsible
Lu Shang left the conference room, that hen he saw Li Sui The two of them weren't far from each other, but not very close either, just about at half-an-ar waited for a while, after all the people were gone, Lu Shang turned around to face Li Sui The seriousness on his face were gone, it was replaced by a light smile, ”Were you scared?”
Li Sui shook his head, he took the sandwich and yogurt out, ”You should eat soaze went to the food in Li Sui's hands, he took the there, even the yogurt was a little warry, but for soht now justLi Sui look at hiurt
”I'ry, you have that” But the sandwich, that he couldn't handle, so he just pushed that to Li Sui
Seeing that Lu Shang really couldn't eat it, he didn't force hiot out of the lift, Li Sui stood a few steps behind Lu Shang His hands were in his pockets, ar with his ar with this was ht in Li Sui's al, do you people know that?” The moment they walked out, Xe WeiLan's voice could be heard Xe WeiLan had worked as a defender in court for years now, he had a very loud voice, plus he was great with his words The feood cop, and one playing the bad cop For the ones ere rash, they cal sympathetic; and for those ere calm, they reasoned with the run
The old lady in front was tired, after being reasoned with like that, she began to calm down too She conversed with so they wanted was money, it wasn't like they wanted to cause trouble
But at that , ”Stop your stupid stalling tactics, they ht work on those wo Xin's boss is your coher-ups out, if we don't get the money today, ill sleep here!”
”Yeah! We're not scared of theuys scam us old folks' money, do you people have a conscience?”
Xe WeiLan was furious how all his efforts see, as on the sides, see, he stopped Xe WeiLan, ”Allow , following hi on the other hand was a lot calmer, he walked down the stairs slowly His voice was deep, it was alsofrom afar, ”Everyone, please let me have a feords”
The old bald man who ju When their gazes met, a speck of evasiveness were in his eyes
”When all of you invested, you signed a contract, remember? It clearly stated when the contract will be over, when the interests will be given, and when the principal value will be returned Yes?”
When Lu Shang began speaking, everyone quiet down subconsciously Even the elderly sensed it, they sensed that this person was different; he sounded like a leader of sort All of the and listened attentively
