Old Maozi let out a moan, followed by a cacophony of noises coming through the phone.

"Mr. Smith, what's wrong?"

"The general manager has fainted, call an ambulance quick!"

...…

Liu Guolin hung up the phone in a daze, her eyes empty, on the verge of tears.

She bowed her head and stammered, "President Su, Mr. Smith has fainted."

Su Yinxue nodded, her face expressionless.

Yang Fei chuckled, "Who would have thought that this foreigner's nerves could be so fragile."

"If he had to face a crisis as severe as Yalan International's, he wouldn't have survived, would he?"

Liu Guolin mustered up courage.

"Director Yang, I admit that what Yingxia Bank did before wasn't very kind. Please give us a chance to make amends."

"How about this, I've promised President Su that Yingxia Bank will continue to provide Yalan International with a loan of no less than ten billion."

"I only hope that Yalan International will continue to cooperate with our Yingxia Bank."

Yang Fei chuckled again.

He said meaningfully, "It's rare to see such good service from Director Liu."

"However, sorry to say, I've already called several other major banks."

"Their staff should be arriving soon."

"That's right, we Xingzhong Bank can offer Yalan International a loan of fifteen billion, and the interest rate will be calculated at the lowest rate in the industry."

"We CITIC Bank can also offer Yalan International fifteen billion in loans, and as long as Yalan International cooperates with us, CITIC Bank can offer an interest-free period for one month."

"We Giant Bank can do the same..."

No sooner had Yang Fei finished his words than a large group of bankers rushed into the credit department office.

Each one was flushed and shouting at the top of their lungs.

The spacious credit department office immediately became crowded.

A deposit of more than twenty billion was a big deal even for an international bank like Yingxia.

For the domestic banks, it was an unexpected windfall.

Every bank was outdoing others in offering various favorable terms to Yalan International.

Liu Guolin watched the swarm of locusts vying for food, dumbstruck.

Her heart ached as if being sliced by a little knife.

More than twenty billion, just like that, it had slipped away because of her and Smith's impulsive actions.

The two of them were simply Yingxia Bank's sinners.

Among them, the happiest were Yang Xingye and the other financial staff from Yalan's finance department.

These days, Yalan had been harassed for debts from all sides.

The financial staff didn't know how much cold talk they had heard or how many petty people they had faced.

But now, watching all these bankers rushing to Yalan Headquarters.

Crying out loud, begging to cooperate with Yalan International.

The pleasure of that was incredibly satisfying.

Yang Fei and Su Yinxue exchanged glances, both their eyes brimming with laughter.

Twenty-something minutes later, Smith himself hurried over.

His head was wrapped in bandages, and he hurried over to Yang Fei, bowing deeply.

"Respected Mr. Yang Fei, please forgive my ignorance in failing to recognize a great man such as yourself."

"Our company's poor service has upset you, and for this I sincerely apologize."

Yang Fei gave a cold laugh and turned his head.

"I don't think there was anything wrong with your service."

"However, due to a strategic shift in the company's focus, I regretfully have to terminate our cooperation with your bank."

"Please transfer my funds out as quickly as possible. So many banks are waiting to cooperate with Yalan Group, you've seen that, haven't you?"

Smith nodded.

He turned around and bowed deeply to Su Yinxue again.

"I'm sorry, President Su, for my foolish decision that led Yalan International into a complex dispute."

"I really want to make up for my mistake. Can you give me that opportunity?"

Su Yinxue looked at Smith, puzzled, "What do you want to say?"

Smith glanced at Yang Fei, signaling for Yang Fei and Su Yinxue to come closer.

Yang Fei and Su Yinxue couldn't be bothered with him, and he had to approach by himself, speaking in a very low voice.

"To show my sincerity, I've decided to continue granting a supportive loan of one billion to Yalan International, interest-free for six months."

"Moreover, I can hold a press conference to declare from a third-party perspective that Yalan International has absolutely not engaged in defrauding customers."

"And Yingxia Bank will be the most loyal partner and supporter of Yalan International."

Yang Fei and Su Yinxue exchanged glances.

Both of their eyes were full of smiles, yet neither of them spoke.

The tall Smith, seeing the two remaining composed, started to panic.

He emphasized his tone, "Of course, I must admit, this whole thing was a conspiracy targeting Yalan International from the start."

"And Ms. Liu Guolin and I played dishonorable roles in this conspiracy."

"For this, I sincerely feel remorseful."

Yang Fei said indifferently, "I appreciate Mr. Smith's courage to take responsibility for his mistakes."

"You said this was a conspiracy. Can you tell me what kind of conspiracy it was?"

Smith forced a bitter smile.

"Director Yang, I believe you are very familiar with this matter."

"Why must you make me spell it out?"

He glanced at Yi Liu, who was standing alone on one side of the office, staring blankly, his expression very uncomfortable.

"The Yi Family and the Xu Family set a trap for Yalan International, targeting you."

"I was just momentarily greedy and got used by them."

Yang Fei responded with an "Oh" and a cold laugh.

"What benefits did the Yi Family and the Xu Family offer you?"

Smith cautiously looked at Yang Fei.

He stammered, "The Yi Family said that if this thing succeeded, they could let me return to the Yingxia headquarters."

"With that, I could return home, to be with my wife and daughter."

He glanced at Liu Guolin with difficulty.

"Besides that condition, the Yi Family also gave us money, and for the sake of that money, I..."

Hearing this, both Yang Fei and Su Yinxue understood.

Yang Fei cursed bitterly.

He looked at Smith distantly, "It seems you won't be returning to your country then."

"Since you've told me the truth, I won't treat you unfairly. Tell me, what can I do for you?"

Smith glanced at the bank employees in the office, who were all arguing loudly among themselves.

He carefully said, "I hope Director Yang can leave a portion of the funds in Yingxia Bank."

"Even if you decide to withdraw the capital, don't do it all at once."

"That way, with some buffering, it won't attract the attention of the head office."

He sincerely said, "In return, I will hold a press conference and do my utmost to clear Yalan Group's name of any wrongdoing."

"And I assure you both that whenever Yalan Group is in need, Yingxia Bank will be its most loyal ally in the future."

"I personally am also very willing to build a relationship with business magnates like Director Yang and President Su."

Yang Fei and Su Yinxue looked at each other, and Su Yinxue slowly nodded.

Yang Fei chuckled, "Since that's the case, I am also willing to make the acquaintance of a banker as perceptive as Mr. Smith."

"Let's do this, I will withdraw five hundred million today and another billion within the next month."

"The rest of the funds will stay in Yingxia Bank. I hope Mr. Smith can keep his promise to our conditions."

"That's wonderful, I will definitely keep my word."

Smith was overjoyed.
