And in the week after Ouyang Chen left AtL, AtL indeed ran into trouble.
Whether lawyer Ma was lucky or unlucky, at this critical juncture, whoever sat in the agent's position would be held responsible.
Ruby: "Mr. Ma, Swartz has been urging us for a solution.
Tong Li: "I believe he has money, but isn't the timing of this acquisition too coincidental?"
Xie Youlin: "What do you mean?"
Tong Li: "We entered the market at the highest point of the stock price. Perhaps Ouyang Chen personally acquired the education center's stock at the beginning of the plan. He exited as soon as we entered, making several times the profit?"
Xie Youlin: "Do you have proof?"
Tong Li: "No, but my intuition has always been accurate. Ouyang Chen is definitely up to something!"
Tong Li glanced at Xie Youlin and continued, "I did lose quite a bit, but fortunately, Huaming Capital has experienced too many ups and downs. I'll just pass it off as a decision error and muddle through. It's just you... I'm worried about you!"
Xie Youlin: "I've already persuaded the group to acquire the education center and establish a subsidiary, so it's temporarily safe."
Tong Li: "See, didn't I say you have to rely on the Xie family's big tree?"
Xie Youlin: "..."
Tong Li: "Don't mind me speaking frankly..."
"I've handled more than enough groups. I truly feel that you just took over, and you forcibly crammed this not-so-great company into the group..."
"The group still has to subsidize such an unprofitable subsidiary, which doesn't look good."
Xie Youlin: "There were indeed many objections at the meeting back then..."
Tong Li: "See, I was right. If you can't achieve anything, you'll definitely fail!"
Xie Youlin: "Now we can only take the loss. Are we going to expose the dirty dealings and say everything? Die together?"
Tong Li: "Of course not, but you have to believe that this matter is definitely not over! Ouyang Chen did it, so he has to take responsibility!"
"Otherwise, wouldn't the time, energy, and so much capital we invested be given to him for free?"
Xie Youlin: "If he really did this, I will definitely get back a thousand times over!"
Seeing that Xie Youlin was somewhat hooked, Tong Li quickly fanned the flames. Now is the best time to win over Xie Youlin to target Ouyang Chen together!
However, she still had to be cautious about everything, preferably to have Xie Youlin take the lead, or at the very least, have Xie Youlin take the blame!
Tong Li: "Actually, it's not difficult to punish him..."
Xie Youlin: "How?"
Tong Li: "Listen to me. You are the affected enterprise. You should take the initiative to report it, saying that you suspect AtL of illegal stock manipulation!"
