Standing in the elevator, Chen Cheng recalled his conversation with Zhao Hui just now. He curled his lips slightly and muttered, "It seems my Senior Apprentice Brother Zhao is not in a very good situation."

Zhao Hui had agreed to Chen Cheng's fundraising plan even without a formal PPT.

It was obvious that Zhao Hui was truly anxious and urgently needed performance results to prove himself.

As long as the fundraising plan Chen Cheng provided later could pass risk control, he would wave his hand and sign off on this agency sales cooperation.

After Dai Qiye passed away, Zhao Hui was the most qualified person in the bank to take over his position.

But the higher-ups were slow to give any news, which was clearly not a good sign.

He needed impressive performance results to show his face to the higher-ups.

This large-scale private placement fundraising plan was a very good pretext.

The performance of Company Name could stand up to scrutiny, and outsiders couldn't find any faults.

If the matter was accomplished, it would be an impressive achievement.

When the elevator door opened, Chen Cheng shook his head and smiled bitterly at seeing Miao Che waiting at the entrance.

"Senior Apprentice Brother, why did I trouble you to come out yourself? I'm truly flattered, hahaha," Chen Cheng laughed.

"Old Zhao notified me, how could I not come?" Miao Che chuckled.

Exchanging pleasantries, he led Chen Cheng into his office.

"Senior Apprentice Brother, your office has a nice view," Chen Cheng praised while looking out the window.

Although Miao Che's office wasn't as large as Zhao Hui's, it was on the corner and had an excellent view.

Miao Che handed a coffee to Chen Cheng and pointed diagonally across the window, "Look, isn't that your Company Name right there?"

Chen Cheng glanced over, and it really was. He could even see the window of his office, though he had to look up.

His office was on the 54th floor, and Miao Che was on the 36th.

"It really is~"

"What made you think of coming to me?" Miao Che asked with a smile.

Miao Che was already forty-five this year. At his age, looking at his junior apprentice brother Chen Cheng, although he couldn't quite figure him out, he couldn't hide his appreciation.

The fundraising document contained the detailed development history of Company Name. Chen Cheng had sent it to Zhao Hui, and Zhao Hui had casually forwarded it to Miao Che.

On the matter of Chen Cheng, the two of them were quite clear in their stance and shared information with each other.

"Actually, I was just passing by and came to visit you, Senior Apprentice Brother," Chen Cheng chuckled.

"Since you asked, Senior Apprentice Brother, let me ask: is there any lead regarding the matter of our late Master?"

"..." Miao Che pondered for a moment. "There were indeed two sums of funds that went out and came back very quickly."

Chen Cheng was stunned. So that was it. Damn, when it came to the Jiaxiang Industrial matter, he really had benefited from Dai Qiye's influence; otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy to get out.

Chen Cheng's expression turned a bit bitter, and he felt even more guilty towards Old Madam.

"What about the channel?" Chen Cheng thought for a moment and asked.

"Trust!"

"Senior Apprentice Brother Xie's Yuanzhou Trust?"

Miao Che smiled. "There's no direct evidence, but looking at the interpersonal relationships, it's highly likely to be Xie Zhiyuan."

"If, if it's confirmed..." Chen Cheng fell into a dilemma. "Should we tell Teacher Ouyang?"

"Old Madam hasn't been well lately and is still staying in the hospital."

When Miao Che said this, Chen Cheng understood. Don't say anything for now, or perhaps never bring this matter up.

If it was confirmed that this money existed, it would prove that Dai Qiye had committed serious violations while he was alive.

Chen Cheng smiled. Miao Che ultimately still had a human touch; he didn't want to step on his teacher, or rather, a dead man, to get ahead.

For an auditor, internal violations were exactly what performance results were made of.

Since Miao Che had stated his position, Chen Cheng nodded at him. "Understood, I won't mention this to Teacher."

"As for the money earned from Company name, after Teacher passes away, I will establish a foundation in Teacher's name."

In reality, with his net worth, whether forced or voluntary, establishing a charitable foundation was only a matter of time. Using it now to shut Miao Che up was perfectly fine.

When Chen Cheng said this, Miao Che was quite surprised and joked with a smile, "I'm afraid that's not a small sum, is it?"

Chen Cheng smiled. "Senior Apprentice Brother, we fellow apprentices don't need to probe each other. It's about twenty, and I took sixty percent."

"You put it all in?"

Miao Che looked at Chen Cheng in shock, his body suddenly sitting up straight, very excited.

This number was clearly far beyond his expectations.

"The short sellers must have suffered huge losses." Chen Cheng smiled.

"Good! Well played!" Miao Che excitedly waved his fist.

Chen Cheng pursed his lips; he hadn't expected Miao Che to still have a bit of a rebellious spirit at his age.

Men remain boys until they die?

Following the conversation, Chen Cheng smiled and said, "If they want to engage in plunder, they have to be taught a lesson, these bloodthirsty sharks."

Hearing this, Miao Che looked at Chen Cheng, his gaze becoming a bit brighter.

"Hahaha, I should toast you, Junior Apprentice Brother," Miao Che picked up his water glass and clinked it against Chen Cheng's coffee cup.

"Hahahaha~"

The dopamine secretion from stock trading is second only to doing it.

Clearly, Miao Che was imagining the scene of the short sellers being trapped and killed, having an intracranial orgasm.

If there was any purely good person among these Senior Apprentice Brothers, it was only Miao Che.

Passionate, pure, with ideals and ambitions.

Zhao Hui was wrapped up in sentiment; Xie Zhiyuan was obsessed with money and fame; Su Jianren was indeed true to his nature, but unfortunately, he was troubled his whole life by what he couldn't attain in his youth.

"Senior Apprentice Brother, do you still go cycling?" Chen Cheng pointed to the helmet hanging on the coat rack and asked.

"Just a little hobby." Miao Che smiled.

Chen Cheng was pleasantly surprised; he hadn't expected Miao Che to be into this stuff too.

When he was laughed at by Dada before, he had spent plenty of time riding a bicycle to train his legs.

Later, his legs were indeed well-trained, but ten minutes was still ten minutes.

That was when he realized that thing relied on core strength, and cycling couldn't train that.

At this moment, he felt a bit tempted. He raised his hand to check his watch. "Senior Apprentice Brother, it's just about time to get off work. Do you have any plans for the evening?"

"If you don't have any plans, how about I treat you to a spicy burger?" He finished, looking at Miao Che with a grin.

"Oh?" Hearing the word "spicy burger," Miao Che immediately looked happy. "You cycle too, Junior Apprentice Brother?"

"I've been riding for three or four years," Chen Cheng nodded.

It would have been better not to mention it, but once mentioned, Miao Che started to feel an itch in his heart.

This thing was just like fishing; it was addictive, and the addiction was huge. Those who didn't know would think you were possessed.

Miao Che checked his watch; there was still half an hour left.

He gritted his teeth and waved his hand at Chen Cheng.

The two left Miao Che's office side by side.

"Xiao Wang, I have something to take care of and will be going out. Call me if anything comes up," Miao Che said to Wang Lei.

"Oh~ alright, Director Miao."

Wang Lei watched the backs of these fellow apprentices leaving, wondering why he always had a feeling of them being in cahoots.

Only after entering the elevator did Chen Cheng remember; he had almost forgotten about Su Jianren.

Today, while running around the bank, he had met with Zhao Hui and Miao Che.

If he didn't meet with Su Jianren, and it reached his ears, this old guy would definitely have an opinion about him.

The subsequent fundraising matters still relied on the support of Su Jianren, the branch vice president.

In the end, having no other choice, Chen Cheng mentioned to Miao Che to call Su Jianren along.

Miao Che was an old hand and naturally understood what Chen Cheng meant, so he didn't object.

He let Chen Cheng make the call; anyway, it was just a phone notification, whether he came or not was up to him.

Miao Che didn't expect that Su Jianren would actually agree.

They said they were going cycling, but it turned out only Miao Che had a bicycle.

Chen Cheng went directly to a bike shop and picked up two new bikes before they could go.

All the equipment was purchased in full, and Boss Chen waved his hand to pay the bill.

With Miao Che, the auditor, present, how could Su Jianren dare to accept a bike from Chen Cheng? He paid for it out of his own pocket.

Chen Cheng finally understood; Miao Che, this chief administrator, was actually someone all these fellow apprentices were quite afraid of.
