Chapter 704: Chapter 743: Dealing with Feng Jiacheng

After coming out of the principal’s office, Su Yiyi found a secluded spot to call Li Yifei and told him about today’s events. Hearing this, Li Yifei said, "Yiyi, it’s up to you how you want to handle this. As for those bastards, if you haven’t had enough revenge, I’ll make sure they’re properly dealt with until you feel vindicated. But if you think they’ve been punished enough, then we can leave it at that. However, Yiyi, don’t pay any attention to that Bureau of Commerce and Industry guy. Since I didn’t put him away, consider it a favor to him. There’s no way he’s going back to being an office director."

Anxiously, Su Yiyi said, "I know, I know, let’s just leave it at that. They’ve been punished, and I’m okay."

"If that’s what you think, then let’s leave it at that, they really got off easy."

Su Yiyi felt a warm sense of comfort not because Li Yifei had taken care of those people for her, but because he respected her opinion so much. Hesitating for a moment, she told him about what Lin Bogu had suggested, and then waited nervously for Li Yifei’s opinion.

Li Yifei laughed heartily and said, "That’s good news too, I have no objections. I’ll say it again, my Little Yiyi, whatever you want to do, I will support you fully. I won’t try to tie you down to me, to just let you do anything you want. You have your own life, and the more splendid your life is, the happier I am."

With tears welling up in her eyes, Su Yiyi choked up and said, "Thank you, Brother Li."

"Silly girl, why are you saying such things? Aren’t you considering me your man?"

Frantically, Su Yiyi said, "No, no, Brother Li, you are the only man for me in this life, I will always... love you."

"Then give me a kiss," Li Yifei said cheerfully.

Suddenly embarrassed, Su Yiyi scolded, "Brother Li, we’re at school."

"Ha... then wait until you come back, and give me a proper kiss."

"Alright!" Just as she was about to hang up, Su Yiyi suddenly pecked her phone softly and then quickly ended the call.

Li Yifei couldn’t help but smile wryly, his heart was especially sweet. Even though Su Yiyi had been with him for so long, she was still so shy in front of others. That she would kiss him over the phone was quite a big step forward.

Li Yifei truly had no intention of tying Su Yiyi down to him. Despite her soft appearance, she was a girl with strong convictions at heart. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have fallen for her the first time they met at the karaoke bar. He liked Su Yiyi for who she was and didn’t want her to be just a little lover depending on him but to have a genuine identity of her own.

In the end, Zheng Dawei could only accept the reality of being a mere foot soldier, and Er Pi had been much more subdued lately. Although Su Yiyi had promised not to trouble him anymore, he was still not fully convinced. After all, Brother Hu was not someone to take lightly, and it wasn’t easy to go by a young lady’s words. But fortunately, after some peaceful days without any further trouble from Brother Hu, he slowly began to ease up.

Their father, Feng Jiacheng, felt guilty after committing wrongdoings and had been downhearted ever since. More than a year later, he passed away. It’s difficult for someone old to live long without accumulating some virtue.

Su Yiyi had been commended at the school, and her deeds were well-publicized, indeed promoting a positive energy. College students, being young at heart and not inherently bad, have their own passion, so it was easy to motivate them with good actions.

Yet some people, having seen Zheng Dawei and others plead with Su Yiyi, talked in secret that she must have a powerful backer, not someone just anyone could afford to provoke. Thus, even though many people were nice to Su Yiyi in school, it wasn’t like before where everyone dared to bother her; they were afraid of suffering the same fate as the others.

These days, Li Yifei and Xu Yingying took some covert actions against Feng Jiacheng’s company. Although this guy had only bullied a security guard’s girlfriend, he was a despicable character, and Li Yifei had promised to deal with him, and Xu Yingying was quite interested in this matter too. So the two of them never let it go.

Feng Jiacheng had been in a state of constant anxiety since his cousin Heizi was arrested. Heizi had been his ultimate backer, and now that his support had fallen, Feng Jiacheng immediately felt that doing business was no longer as easy as before.

Fortunately, he had not been involved in his cousin’s drug trafficking, so the police hadn’t really done anything to him. In addition, he owned a company worth tens of millions of assets and considered himself a person of some importance. Relying solely on the assets and the company he currently held, he convinced himself that he could live comfortably without his cousin’s support.

Regrettably, he hadn’t truly recognized his own situation. In the past, when doing business, others would give face to Heizi and make concessions to Feng Jiacheng, letting him enjoy certain benefits. But once Heizi fell, no one took Feng Jiacheng seriously anymore. Those who used to do business with him weren’t as accommodating, and although they didn’t deliberately make things difficult for him, they no longer allowed him to reap as many benefits as before.

Feng Jiacheng was completely unaccustomed to this. "If you don’t give me benefits, I won’t do business with you." With that attitude, it took less than half a month for most of his steady business partners to fall through.

It was at this point that Feng Jiacheng became truly desperate. However, during this time, he encountered a major contract. If he could clinch this deal, he would earn several million in a year. For Feng Jiacheng, it was like grabbing a lifeline. He immediately put all his effort into securing the contract.

Thanks to his hard work, the sincerity he showed moved the other party. However, both sides needed to initially invest ten million in capital. If Feng Jiacheng couldn’t come up with the money, the cooperation would fall through.

Even though Feng Jiacheng had tens of millions in assets, most were fixed. He didn’t have much in liquid capital, and recent business downturns had left him with a surplus of unsold goods and a shortage of cash. He rushed to the banks to apply for loans, but having already borrowed quite a bit, the banks weren’t willing to lend him more. With no other choice, he considered approaching small loan companies for funds.

These small loan companies generally had annual limits; they simply couldn’t lend unlimited funds throughout the year. With it being almost November, towards the end of the year, these small loan companies didn’t have the balance to grant additional loans.

Ultimately, he had no choice but to turn to private lenders charging high interest rates. But perhaps because Heizi had offended too many people in the past, Feng Jiacheng found it impossible to secure funds from these sources.

This made Feng Jiacheng nearly insane with desperation. It would be a terrible shame if he couldn’t seal the deal.

Just then, through someone’s introduction, he finally met with a loan company from another city. They agreed to lend him ten million but required his company as collateral. The loan period was also dismally short, only one month, and the interest was only slightly higher than that of banks.

The interest on this loan was so low, a rare opportunity indeed. Usual private lending rates were incredibly high, making this seem somewhat suspicious. However, the lender drafted a very meticulous contract with Feng Jiacheng and even took the unusual step of having it notarized to make it seem like they genuinely intended to help.

Feng Jiacheng had his reservations, worrying that it was too good to be true. An experienced businessman would never dare to accept such a deal. Still, Feng Jiacheng’s top priority was to finalize the contract. He believed that within a month, the contract would be completed, and by then, he could liquidate the surplus goods at a discount and sell off some assets to raise the necessary funds. In the end, he signed the contract and borrowed the ten million.

After receiving the money, Feng Jiacheng immediately invested it, only for the other party to vanish with the funds. His money was lost, leaving him in the lurch. To make matters worse, the lender, upon hearing that Feng Jiacheng had been swindled, promptly went to court to ensure the protection of assets, fearing Feng Jiacheng would liquidate his company and fail to repay the borrowed ten million.

This was nothing short of a disaster for Feng Jiacheng. The court immediately seized all his assets for protection. Feng Jiacheng was on the verge of madness, suspecting that the lender might have set a trap to take over his company.

However, police investigations revealed that the person who had swindled Feng Jiacheng was a well-known international con artist who only scammed money and nothing else. Furthermore, the swindler always acted alone, exploiting current affairs and people to carry out the fraud, with no known associates. So the likelihood of them collaborating to swindle Feng Jiacheng’s company was extremely low.

The contract Feng Jiacheng had signed with the lender was completely legitimate, impeccable. After consulting numerous lawyers, all of them shook their heads and roughly said the same thing—if Feng Jiacheng couldn’t repay the ten million plus interest within a month, his company would be auctioned, and the proceeds would go to repaying the lender.

At that moment, Feng Jiacheng was on the brink of despair. Was he really going to lose all he had in an instant? He couldn’t accept that. Desperately trying to borrow money, he found that even before his predicament, nobody was willing to lend to him. Now with his troubles, who would? In the end, he had no choice but to plead with the lender for an extension, hoping to save his company. The lender agreed to meet him.

When he arrived at the agreed-upon location and pushed the door open to enter, Feng Jiacheng was utterly dumbfounded. He never expected to see this person here.
