Chapter 436: Chapter 436 Short-Sighted People of the Han Family

Chen Xuan’s pain made him open his eyes, and immediately he saw Han Jingting’s breathtakingly beautiful face filled with schadenfreude.

Usually, Han Jingting maintained a cold and elegant demeanor, hardly ever cracking a smile. But at that moment, the reaction to her own prank had her laughing uncontrollably.

Chen Xuan couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

He never expected such a serious person like Han Jingting to play pranks on others!

"Jingting, you... didn’t you go a bit too far with that?"

Chen Xuan’s lips were almost clamped to bleeding.

Han Jingting struggled to hold back her laughter and snorted coldly, "You deserve it, let’s see if you’ll dare to be anything less than honest in the future! Tell me, how did you eventually handle the loan situation?"

Chen Xuan sighed and then explained the results of the situation.

After hearing Chen Xuan’s story, Han Jingting widened her eyes in shock, "So you mean, that three hundred million yuan loan has to be repaid by Han Chengye?"

"But when I called Governer Wong initially, I clearly stated it was to be a loan in my name. How could Governer Wong suddenly change it to Han Chengye’s name?"

Chen Xuan smiled, "That’s the brilliance of Governer Wong! He must have anticipated that someone like Han Chengye would try to avoid paying, so he approved his loan application in advance, I bet."

Chen Xuan did not say it was his doing, otherwise Han Jingting would surely suspect how a big bank president could be influenced by him.

Luckily, Han Jingting didn’t doubt Chen Xuan’s words, but simply remarked with a sigh, "We were fortunate that Governer Wong had laid the groundwork in advance, otherwise I might genuinely have ended up shouldering that three hundred million yuan loan!"

Chen Xuan nodded, "That’s why you need to be careful when dealing with people like Han Chengye in the future. His shamelessness far exceeds your imagination!"

Han Jingting expressed her agreement.

At that moment, Han Jingting’s phone suddenly rang.

It was a call from Han Chengye.

Without much thought, Han Jingting answered immediately.

"Han Jingting, the family is holding an urgent meeting, come to the old house now!"

Han Chengye’s voice was commanding from the outset.

Han Jingting wasn’t foolish; she naturally knew the purpose of Han Chengye’s call at this time—it was definitely about the repayment of the loan.

In fact, Han Jingting’s guess was spot on.

After Han Chengye checked the company’s accounts, he found there was only two hundred and seventy million yuan left.

The remaining thirty million yuan of debt, he figured, could only be afforded by Han Jingting.

Therefore, he had called Han Jingting to attend the meeting at the old house.

To say it was a meeting was just a euphemism; the real intention was to use a carrot-and-stick approach to force Han Jingting to pay the money on their behalf!

Unfortunately for him, Han Jingting had long seen through Han Chengye’s character and was not going to give him such an opportunity.

"Didn’t you say this morning that we should not come to the old house if it wasn’t important?" Han Jingting said, laughing.

Han Chengye replied seriously, "Can the situations be compared? The family has a real matter to discuss with you!"

Han Jingting snorted lightly, "I’m really sorry, but I’m quite busy trying to figure out how to repay loans. Wouldn’t want the company’s funds to be frozen by the bank, or the assets to be auctioned off, now would we?"

These were the same sarcastic remarks that had been made about Han Jingting before; she was merely returning the favor.

After that, Han Jingting did not give Han Chengye the chance to speak further and hung up the call.

"Hello? Han Jingting? Hello?"

Hearing the busy tone on the other end of the line, Han Chengye was so angry he could vomit blood.

He had intended to first deceive Han Jingting into coming over before explaining anything, but she didn’t give him that chance at all.

At that moment, the old residence was filled with members of the Han Family.

They had all heard about the loan repayment and the investment fraud and were all incredibly anxious.

Initially, they had wanted to make a fortune through this investment, but now not only had they not earned any money, they had also lost thirty million.

And these thirty million were to be deducted from their dividends, which obviously made them desperate.

"Patriarch, how could a good investment turn out like this!"

"Exactly, this investment was entirely organized by you. Now that it has incurred losses, yet you’re making us bear it—it seems somewhat unreasonable, doesn’t it?"

"Yeah, why should we share the burden?! It has nothing to do with us, right?"

The people of the Han Family all voiced their complaints.

Upon hearing their words, Han Chengye couldn’t contain his rage.

"What do you mean? What is this ’nothing to do with us’ talk?"

"If this investment had made money, every single one of you would have received a dividend. Now that there are losses, you’re saying it has nothing to do with you?"

"Do you think there are such good deals in this world?"

A member of the Han Family muttered under their breath, "If only we knew it would come to this, we should have returned those three hundred million..."

Han Chengye exploded with fury, "Damn, now you regret it. When the investment was proposed, weren’t all of you jumping for joy?"

"Now that there are losses, you start regretting, where the hell were you earlier!"

Han Yaru quickly tried to calm things down, "Patriarch, don’t be too angry. Right now, what’s most important is to think about how we’re going to pay off the remaining thirty million loan."

The Han Family members nodded in agreement, "That’s right, if we can’t pay the money by midnight, who knows, maybe the bank will seal our company tomorrow. By then, Han Corporation would be truly finished!"

"Indeed, Patriarch, you must think of something!"

Han Chengye sneered, "What can I do? It’s thirty million we’re talking about, not three thousand. Where am I supposed to find so much money for you?"

"How about each of you contribute a million or so? That would at least help the company through this tough time, wouldn’t it?"

Upon hearing this, the members of the Han Family recoiled, one farther than the next.

"Patriarch, look at what you’re saying. We only receive so much in dividends each year, how can we possibly come up with that much cash?"

"Exactly, everyone else gets company dividends. No one has ever talked about paying off the company’s debts, and there’s no such rule...."

Han Chengye inwardly cursed.

These Han Family members were all slicker than one another; each of them had a personal fortune of at least several million. Coming up with a million was a piece of cake for them.

Unfortunately, although it was easy enough for them to make money, the thought of pulling money out of their pockets was something they wouldn’t even entertain.

But now, Han Chengye really did find himself in a difficult situation.

He had already called several well-acquainted tycoons, but as soon as they heard it was to borrow money, each became more elusive than the next.

With only a few short hours left until midnight, if they couldn’t pay back the money, Han Corporation was truly at risk of bankruptcy!

What was infuriating was that these Han Family members were watching Han Corporation go bankrupt with their eyes wide open, yet none of them were willing to part with a single penny to help.

Han Chengye had now truly witnessed the shortsightedness of his family members!
