“This is your last chance. If you say it quickly, I will let you go, and you can take the two segments of your last finger to the hospital. Your finger may be able to be sewn back together. If I am not happy, you will be left with nine fingers from now on…”
CEO Zong fainted for ten seconds and was awakened by Zhong Ran.
The AG financial group had been controlled by the Lu Family in the last five years. The third daughter of the Ye Family, Ye Feifei, was the daughter-in-law of the Lu Family. Both families had been related by marriage. There were a couple of Ye Family’s relatives who were like parasites in AG financial group. They were paid a high salary but did not do any work. No one dared to say anything. During these five years, they knew that there was a force behind AG financial group which was slowly penetrating. The Lu Family declared to the public that it was their operation. In fact, the operation was led by Ye Ling, and he was growing his operations rapidly in Europe. In order to stabilize relatives and the Lu Family, Ye Ling had to turn a blind eye until he had gained control. Upon his return to City A, the way he got rid of the Lu Family and the relatives was very much like taking out the weeds.
The Lu Family’s attitude was very good. They had supported AG financial group whole-heartedly and had gotten a good reputation from the old lady. They claimed that they had helped to manage AG these few years. However, the relatives were not so lucky with the infiltration going on these few years. After all, old institutions die hard. AG financial group’s management was in a mess. Even Ye Ling would not be able to clean up the residual forces in such a short period of time. During this period of time, problems were constantly arising.
He was a president who was less than 30 years of age. The third generation of the Ye Family, with the old lady above him and many subordinates below him. To add to that, he was very handsome. There were a few people who misjudged him and did not take him seriously. They had frequently attacked the financial group.
There were 11 listed companies which had their secrets leaked out in this month. Eventually, someone got hold of AG financial group’s strategic plan.
Ye Ling had personally plotted a set-up and made the culprit pay for his actions. He caught hold of CEO Zong.
Talking about this CEO Zong, he was a long-time employee of the AG financial group. He had worked in the AG financial group since his father’s generation. When he started university, he was working at AG financial group’s jewelry department and already had 15 years of experience.
Leaking of confidential information had been the most taboo subject for businesses.
“It was CEO Li from Brilliant Entertainment.” CEO Zong bore with the pain. “What he wanted mainly was some information from AG entertainment and jewelry. The chairman had agreed, and that was why I dared to take action. President, I am in the wrong. Please let me go. The leaking of confidential information from other companies of the financial group has nothing to do with me. I swear, I really have nothing to do with it.”
“CEO Li?” Ye Ling narrowed his eyes.
Zhong Ran held a palmtop. “CEO Li of Brilliant Entertainment, Li Zhiyuan, went to England to study at the age of 14. At the age of 21, he obtained a double degree in International Law and Economics from Cambridge University. At the age of 23, he had his MBA from Cambridge University. Thereafter, he had worked in LK Pharmaceutical Center in Europe for two years and Wall Street for another two years. He returned back last year and took over Brilliant Entertainment. Wow, a top student. I worship top students the most.”
Ye Ling playfully put out his cigarette. “Li Zhiyuan… very well.”
CEO Zong begged to be spared. “President, I have said all that should be said. Please… spare me.”
“I give you one more chance. If you did not tell the truth, do add it on quickly. As I am benevolent, I will not do anything to you. If I find out that you have lied, I will catch you no matter which corner of the earth you are at, and I will cut off all ten fingers and feed them to the dogs.”
“Whatever I have said is the truth.”
“I hate people who have gained from me but help others in secret. You are fired.”
CEO Zong looked at Ye Ling in shock and horror.
“Get lost!” CEO Zong took the two broken segments of his finger and went off. He was scared out of his wits.
Ah Da took the bloodstained towel and threw it into the dustbin. Ye Ling was still sitting with one leg crossed, thinking mysteriously.
