Mai Guangde's words made Nan Hui feel as if she had just woken up from a dream. She then realized that this was actually directed at her.
But she was powerless to resist, because the vast majority of the shares of Guangda Real Estate were in the hands of that man. Faced with absolute control, there was not much she could do, and now she had neither the opportunity nor the time to do anything.
With a bitter expression, she asked, "Mr. Mai, can I know why?"
Mai Guangde looked at the woman with curiosity. To be honest, if he didn't know her real age, he would have thought she was under forty. She was indeed well-maintained. It was a pity that her brain wasn't sharp. It seems that the saying that love makes people lower their IQ is not just a hoax.
Mai Guangde flatly refused: "President Nan, I can't answer that question. You've been with Mr. Huang for so long, you should know the rules."
Hearing Mai Guangde say this, Nan Hui gave up the idea of getting the answer from him. She knew that even if Mai Guangde knew, he wouldn't tell her.
At this moment, Liang Hongming was extremely anxious, because this sudden change had completely disrupted his plans.
Liang Hongming has always had one life goal: to settle in the United States.
However, he settled in the United States to enjoy life rather than to work for someone else in another place. Therefore, he has been continuously investing in American financial securities, especially in the past few years when the returns on American subprime mortgage financial derivatives were very high. So he invested all his assets in them, with the aim of achieving financial freedom as soon as possible.
However, his idea of financial freedom is not just about being able to live a comfortable life without worrying about food and clothing. He believes that the more money he has, the better. Even hundreds of millions of dollars is not enough for him. He wants even more hundreds of millions of dollars.
However, with the collapse of the new century, the US financial market began to fluctuate. Liang Hongming, who was very speculative, believed the nonsense of those rating agencies and misjudged that subprime financial derivatives would continue to rise. Therefore, he took advantage of the period of volatility to go long and established multiple long positions. At first, he did make some money, but the good times did not last long. The value of financial derivatives plummeted, and he was constantly facing the situation of being liquidated. In order to protect his assets, he racked his brains to extract hundreds of millions of yuan from Guangda Real Estate Group and transferred it to the United States through various means. However, he only received 60 million yuan. Money laundering also has a cost. Otherwise, why would anyone do such a business? Moreover, this was at a friendly price.
However, that money only provided temporary relief. As long as the market didn't recover, he wouldn't get his money back. He was unwilling to give up that money and leave the market, as it was money he had painstakingly earned over the years! Liang Hongming had fallen into a gambler's mentality.
He took out his phone and called Nan Hui, but no one answered.
After several unsuccessful attempts, his mind started racing.
He connected all the dots and analyzed them, now wanting to know exactly where things went wrong.
Without warning, she was dismissed from her post, and people from headquarters came to take over the finance department. She couldn't contact Nan Hui.
This was definitely not a normal personnel change. The more Liang Hongming thought about it, the more alarmed he became, and his heart sank lower and lower.
He roughly guessed the reason: the matter had been exposed.
The money he painstakingly obtained from Guangda Real Estate Group had already been invested in the subprime mortgage derivatives market as additional margin. He always thought he had done it flawlessly, using layers of offshore companies and seemingly compliant project contracts as cover, even Nan Hui hadn't seen through it. Could it be...?
This wasn't the first time he'd done something like this. He'd obtained huge sums of money from his previous employers in this way, and no one had noticed until now. However, all those sums combined didn't amount to the amount he'd gotten from Guangda Real Estate this time.
Could it be that the man that old woman Nan Hui has always admired is actually so powerful? That he could have seen through her actions from thousands of miles away?
Although they had never met, that old woman Nan Hui often talked about him, addressing him as Mr. Huang with utmost respect.
Therefore, Liang Hongming was no stranger to this person, and he also learned about the man's abilities and strength from Nan Hui. However, Liang Hongming himself had always been somewhat arrogant and did not quite believe what Nan Hui said. He thought that Huang Xiaochuan had just gotten lucky, and if it were him, he would probably be more awesome than Huang Xiaochuan.
But reality shattered all his arrogance and fantasies. He was filled with deep fear. He realized that his carefully designed plan couldn't even last a round against that man. It wasn't that he didn't know how powerful that man was, but his previous successes had given him a strange confidence, which made him bolder and bolder.
Liang Hongming broke out in a cold sweat instantly. At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind: get out of there as quickly as possible, as far away as possible. While he still had his Hong Kong and Macau travel permit and passport, he needed to leave the country immediately, first to Hong Kong, and then find a way to go to the United States, the farther the better.
By the time Nan Hui saw the missed calls on her phone, Liang Hongming had already arrived in Hong Kong. He had thrown his old SIM card into the trash and gotten a new one in Hong Kong, so when Nan Hui tried to call Liang Hongming, she couldn't reach him anymore.
At this moment, Nan Hui also guessed the reason. She understood that Huang Xiaochuan already knew about her relationship with Liang Hongming, otherwise he would not have treated her this way.
She took a taxi back to her residence, which was exactly the same as when she left that morning. Liang Hongming's clothes and usual belongings were still there, indicating that he had not returned. There was also an intimate photo of the two of them hanging on the wall, in which she had a happy smile on her face.
At this moment, in Huang Xiaochuan's office in the Shanghai Guangda Real Estate Building, Li Huan was reporting to Huang Xiaochuan: "After Liang Hongming left the company, he didn't go anywhere. He went straight to the Gongbei Port, and our people followed him across the border to Hong Kong."
Huang Xiaochuan was stunned. He hadn't expected Liang Hongming to be so decisive, going to Hong Kong empty-handed. This guy was pretty shrewd.
But he quickly regained his composure. So what if he's cunning? He's run away, so what? As long as his money isn't gone, that's all that matters. As long as no margin calls are made, those long positions will soon be liquidated one by one under Zhang Sui's precise strikes. By then, there will be many people anxiously looking for him. Do you think those financial institutions are doing charity? They used their high leverage and lost so much money; are they just going to let him off so easily?
However, the following procedures will proceed as planned. Once the audit results are released, Mai Guangde will report the case to the police immediately. At that time, Liang Hongming will soon become a wanted criminal, completely cutting off his path back.
"Alright, send your men back! You don't need to follow him anymore." Huang Xiaochuan instructed Li Huan to withdraw his men.
"Okay!" Li Huan was very efficient and never compromised on Huang Xiaochuan's instructions.
"What about Nan Hui?" Huang Xiaochuan asked about Nan Hui's situation.
"I took a taxi back to where she lives, and she's still inside."
Huang Xiaochuan nodded to indicate that he understood.
