Warlord: Starting with Subduing Little A Qiao

"Please be quiet for a moment. Mr. Ye from the Paramount Ballroom has something to say to you all."

As soon as he said that, the noise in the crowd quieted down a bit.

After all, Ye Bai of the Paramount Ballroom was quite famous, and most of the people present were seeing him for the first time.

Clearly, everyone was wondering what this seemingly distinguished person was here for.

A few whispers could still be faintly heard from the crowd.

"This is Mr. Ye from the Paramount Ballroom. How come he looks so young?"

"You think he's young because he's only 15, but he earns way more!"

"That's true, what's Mr. Ye doing here?"

...

Under the watchful eyes of everyone present, Ye Bai smiled and lowered his hands.

"Hello everyone, Chen Guangfu, the owner of the Commercial Bank, is an old friend of mine. He has always been a very prudent person. A few days ago, his warehouse was burned down, and people said that his bank was unstable. This is pure rumor."

Chen Guangfu, who had just come downstairs, had already rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush up to Ye Bai.

He wanted to say that even a starved camel is bigger than a horse, and that even if Chen Guangfu fell from power, it was not Ye Bai's place to laugh at him!

To my utter surprise, Ye Bai was actually praising me!

Chen Guangfu's anger dissipated considerably, leaving him stunned in place.

Isn't this... meant to show how you get defeated?

Immediately afterwards, he heard Ye Bai's powerful voice ring out at the entrance of the hall.

"To show my confidence in the Commercial Bank, I, Ye Bai, am here to deposit money! I will deposit one million silver dollars into the Commercial Bank right now!"

As he said this, Wang An, the bodyguard behind him, immediately opened the box he had taken from the car.

It's full of silver dollars!

The crowd was immediately dazzled by the gleaming silver dollars, and a buzz of excitement erupted.

"My God, so much money!"

"Mr. Ye actually dares to save so much? Then I have confidence too!"

"As expected, the news in the newspapers is all just rumors!"

……

The crowd was unusually noisy, and Xu Wenqiang waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

"Since Boss Ye is willing to deposit real money into this bank, it proves that the bank is safe and sound. Everyone can go back without worry!"

Sure enough, after this sound, the people who were initially furious gradually calmed down.

What they were worried about was simply not being able to get their deposits back and suffering unnecessary losses.

But now, Ye Bai's actions have proven that the Commercial Bank still has money, which has greatly boosted everyone's confidence.

As a result, many people stopped clamoring to exchange their money on the spot, took back their deposit slips, and prepared to go home.

Ye Bai resolved the conflict perfectly without lifting a finger.

This scene also caught the eye of Chen Guangfu, who had just walked into the lobby on the first floor.

At this moment, disbelief still lingered in his eyes.

That's it?!

The once crowded first-floor lobby gradually became empty.

Even if some depositors still request to retrieve their deposit certificates, that is currently within the scope of the commercial bank's payment capabilities.

A crisis was completely resolved!

An incredulity flashed in Chen Guangfu's eyes, mixed with shock, which finally turned into waves of excitement.

He panicked and rushed down the last few flights of stairs.

He even missed a step and almost fell, but at that moment he was completely oblivious to that detail.

He rushed towards Ye Bai.

"Mr. Ye, you...you really helped me a lot!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Guangfu saw that his subordinates were also staring blankly at Ye Bai, so he shouted loudly.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and prepare some tea!"

Soon, Chen Guangfu, bending over, accompanied Ye Bai to the second-floor reception room.

Ye Bai then sat directly in the main seat.

Chen Guangfu showed no dissatisfaction whatsoever, and respectfully lit Ye Bai's cigar with a lighter.

"Mr. Ye, you really saved my life today. I really don't know what to say!"

"If there's anything I can do for you, even if it's going through fire and water, just let me know!"

Chen Guangfu spoke with utmost sincerity.

However, when he looked at Ye Bai, he saw Ye Bai slowly exhale a smoke ring, then curl the corner of his mouth and say.

"No need to thank me."

Upon hearing the voice, Chen Guangfu initially thought that Ye Bai was kind-hearted and charitable.

But looking at Ye Bai's expression, a sense of foreboding suddenly welled up in his heart.

Sure enough, Ye Bai's words made him open his eyes abruptly the next second.

"It was I who sent men to burn down your warehouse."

"I'm the one who made the newspapers write about your instability."

"It was I who called people to the bank to lead the way in withdrawing money."

As the words rang out without the slightest emotional fluctuation, Chen Guangfu's face turned pale, and his eyes filled with shock and confusion.

"Since you did it all, why..."

Before he could finish his sentence, everyone understood his confusion.

Yes, it was all Ye Bai's doing. Why would Ye Bai still step in to save this bank?

Just as Chen Guangfu was puzzled, Ye Bai suddenly raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"Do you remember what you said in the car when you left that night?"

Even though Ye Bai still had a smile on his lips, his voice immediately sent a chill down Chen Guangfu's spine.

What was said in the car...

Chen Guangfu was now secretly recalling the events.

As he recalled this, his face grew paler and paler, and his eyes became increasingly panicked.

Large drops of cold sweat slid down his forehead.

But he didn't even bother to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead; he hurriedly tried to defend himself, his lips trembling.

However, before he could even speak, Xu Wenqiang, who had just gone out, walked in, accompanied by another person.

"Boss, Wang Meng is here."

Upon seeing the newcomer, Chen Guangfu couldn't help but show a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Who is this person? !

As Ye Bai nodded, Chen Guangfu began to repeat the story to Wang Meng in front of him.

"That night in the car, Chairman Chen said, 'What kind of person is Mr. Ye? He actually wants to open a bank; he'd be more like robbing a bank...'"

The person in front of him repeated the story in a bland and unremarkable manner, but Chen Guangfu felt that his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

He finally remembered it completely.

The person in front of me is clearly the driver who helped me into the car that day!

The next second, Chen Guangfu saw Wang Meng glance at him, and the next sentence made Chen Guangfu tremble all over.

"Chairman Chen also said that this collective boycott of you was a great success, and laughed at you as nothing more than a lucky bastard who dared to try and get involved in the Shanghai banking industry, saying it was simply wishful thinking..."

Chen Guangfu, standing to the side, watched as Wang Meng spilled everything he had said in the car that night. He was so angry that he trembled all over and couldn't help but interrupt him.

"you!"

But Wang Meng on the other side was not afraid at all, and even gave him a provocative look, which made Chen Guangfu's face stiffen even more.

At this moment, Chen Guangfu couldn't help but look at Ye Bai in the main seat.

Ye Bai hadn't said anything yet, but a smile still lingered on his lips.

Chen Guangfu looked up and met Ye Bai's gaze. In that one glance, he felt an overwhelming pressure rushing towards him.

The gazes directed at them were like countless sharp swords, filled with endless cold light and murderous intent.

It was as if if Chen Guangfu opened his mouth to make excuses, a thousand sharp swords would be thrust at him.
