"What? You're out of money?" Zhu Ming was struck by lightning, frozen on the spot.
"Don't worry, all the money is with Yang Chen. I'll get it back from him and give it to you."
Yin Manman said with a dejected face.
"Are you f**king taking me for an idiot? Huh? Why can everyone else get their money back, but mine can't? Call Yang Chen now and have him send the money back!"
Zhu Ming went mad, grabbed Yin Manman's collar, and roared.
"Wait, I'll call him right now." Yin Manman immediately took out her phone and dialed Yin Manman.
But, a busy signal came from the other end.
This time, not only Zhu Ming was desperate, but Yin Manman was also utterly despairing.
She wasn't a fool; she understood why Yang Chen wasn't answering her calls.
He was going to run off with the money!
Of the one hundred million yuan Yin Chuji had given to Yin Manman, Yin Manman had spent twenty million, and the remaining eighty million had all been compensated to others.
In other words, Yin Manman not only gained nothing this time, but her remaining eighty million was also gone.
She had become a pauper again.
"You scoundrel, give me my money back! Give it back to me!"
Zhu Ming roared, still grabbing Yin Manman's collar.
Chen Jie frowned and said to the security guards beside him, "Throw them both out."
"What?"
Zhu Ming looked at Chen Jie like a madman, "Everyone else's money has been paid back, only mine hasn't! You have to take responsibility."
"I'm responsible? I'm sorry, I don't take on other people's losses," Chen Jie sneered.
"Everyone, come and see! Shengtian Company is trying to renege on their debts, they don't want to compensate anymore!"
Zhu Ming shouted to the crowd, "Everyone, please stand up for me, don't let Shengtian Company bully us like this!"
The many guests present had already received their compensation and had sobered up.
Thinking about how Chen Jie had killed Ye Wa with just one talisman earlier and severely injured Ye Wa's master, who then fled, they now dared not oppose Chen Jie.
What's more, when Yin Manman had started her scam, Zhu Ming had been the most enthusiastic, almost preventing everyone from buying medicine.
This made everyone very annoyed with Zhu Ming.
Someone said, "I say, it wasn't Boss Chen who scammed you, so why are you blaming him?"
"Exactly, we didn't ask Boss Chen for compensation either. The scammers returned it to us. How can you hold Boss Chen responsible for this matter?"
"A real man, isn't it just thirty million? You can start over if you lose money, what's there to be afraid of!"
"Well, Shengtian Company's press conference is about to start. You should hurry up and leave, don't disrupt our business with Shengtian Company."
Zhu Ming was stunned, "You..."
Chen Jie impatiently ordered the security guards, "Throw them out and let them sort it out themselves."
"Yes! Boss."
Immediately, several security guards escorted Zhu Ming and Yin Manman out.
Chen Jie then ordered the others, "Clean up the venue and prepare for the press conference."
The farce was over.
Soon, the press conference officially began.
Without Yin Manman, everything went smoothly.
The company received two hundred million yuan in orders on-site, and this was because the company did not accept too many orders due to insufficient production capacity.
Many later companies couldn't secure any.
As production gradually scaled up, orders would only increase.
Halfway through the press conference, seeing no other unexpected incidents, Chen Jie left.
He Yufei, who was on stage, sensed something and looked for Chen Jie in the crowd.
"Where's Chen Jie?" He Yufei was startled when she couldn't find him.
She then hurriedly handed the microphone to her assistant, "You'll host from here."
After saying that, she quickly walked out of the venue.
"President He!" The security guard standing at the company gate respectfully greeted He Yufei.
He Yufei looked afar and saw Chen Jie getting into a taxi.
"He's... leaving just like that? Without even saying goodbye," He Yufei thought wistfully.
"No, you haven't even let me send you off yet!" He Yufei thought with great reluctance.
"Do you need to go back and pack?"
She immediately found the car Chen Jie had given her and rushed towards Xishan Villa.
"Chen Jie? Didn't he go out early this morning?"
Mother He said in surprise when she saw He Yufei return.
He Yufei was stunned for a moment, "No time to explain, I have to go."
Then, she rushed to the train station again.
However, at the train station, He Yufei was lost.
The train station was crowded, and finding someone was extremely difficult.
If Chen Jie had already entered the station, she wouldn't be able to get in at all.
"That's right, his car is still parked at the company, why would he go back to pack his luggage... Heh heh, his train must have already left." He Yufei gave a wry smile and dejectedly got into her car.
...
Inside the train, Chen Jie and Zhang Xinyan, looking travel-worn, sat in their seats.
Zhang Xinyan giggled and said to Chen Jie, "Our Master Chen is so rich, yet he's taking the high-speed train to the provincial capital. It's truly unexpected."
Today, Zhang Xinyan was dressed very beautifully, exuding youthful energy.
Chen Jie smiled and said nothing.
"Chen Jie, look quickly, how do I look today?" Zhang Xinyan wriggled beside Chen Jie.
Chen Jie looked her up and down and found that although she was still beautiful, her attire was not eye-catching.
She had changed out of all her designer brands, making her look like a university student.
Overall, she matched Chen Jie well, as Chen Jie's clothing was more casual.
"Not bad."
Chen Jie said.
"I mean, don't we look like a young couple?" Zhang Xinyan blinked and said.
Chen Jie was speechless.
Although he had agreed to meet her brother with Zhang Xinyan this time, there was no need to be so serious.
However, Zhang Xinyan suddenly leaned her whole body against Chen Jie and said, "Don't be so stiff. My brother isn't that easily fooled. We have to act a bit more convincingly, or what if he sees through us?"
Chen Jie said, "Mm, we do need to act a bit more convincingly."
Suddenly, Zhang Xinyan's lips moved to Chen Jie's face, and with a sweet "pop," her rosy lips kissed Chen Jie's cheek.
Chen Jie was stunned.
Zhang Xinyan didn't dare to look at Chen Jie, but lowered her head and said, "My brother might check my phone then, so I need to save some intimate photos of us on my phone. Chen Jie, you don't mind, do you?"
Chen Jie said helplessly, "Then save them."
He had to help her to the end. He didn't want this either, but since Zhang Xinyan had said so, what else could he do?
"Ah! I was so focused on kissing you just now that I forgot to take a picture. Let's do it again!" Zhang Xinyan exclaimed, her voice sweet.
