Chapter 434: Chapter 434 The Clown Turns Out to Be Me

Subsequently, Han Chengye no longer heeded Chen Xuan’s dissuasion and signed his name directly on the contract.

Then, he made a phone call, instructing Han Yaru to transfer the thirty million down payment into Jianke Real Estate’s account.

Watching the payment confirmation on his phone, Dong Jianke’s lips curled up into a smile, "President Han, you’ve made a wise decision. It’s a pleasure to do business with you!"

Han Chengye too was all smiles, "A pleasure doing business! Hahaha..."

But before Han Chengye could finish his laughter, his phone suddenly rang.

Seeing that it was a call from the bank, Han Chengye was initially taken aback, but then he pressed the answer button anyway.

"Hello, Governor Wong, what can I do for you?" Han Chengye asked casually.

On the other end, Wong Jian’an was far from calm and began by bellowing furiously, "Han Chengye, you’ve got some nerve, daring to default on your debts!"

"Debt?" Han Chengye was bewildered before he scoffed, "Governor Wong, isn’t there a mistake here? That three hundred million loan was under Han Jingting’s name."

"If there’s any debt, it’s Han Jingting’s. Even if you needed to seek someone, you should be looking for Han Jingting for repayment. Why come to me?"

"Alright, Governor Wong, I’ve got some matters to attend to, so if there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now!"

Before, when in the presence of Governor Wong, Han Chengye was always exceedingly respectful and subservient, but now that he thought about how he was about to make sixty million and had three hundred million in principal, thereby not needing to curry favor with Governor Wong anymore, his attitude became somewhat arrogant.

However, before Han Chengye could hang up the phone, he heard Wong Jian’an snort coldly and say, "Who told you that the three hundred million were borrowed under Miss Han’s name?"

Han Chengye felt a sudden pang of alarm in his heart and asked with a frown, "Governor Wong, what do you mean by that?"

Wong Jian’an spoke solemnly, "I think you’ve forgotten the loan application you previously submitted to the bank."

Han Chengye’s expression darkened.

Previously, he had made several trips back and forth to the bank with Han Yaru over a fifty million loan, which ended up being declined by Wong Jian’an because of offending Han Jingting, causing Han Chengye quite a bit of frustration at the time.

He just didn’t understand why Wong Jian’an would bring up that loan application now, what was his intention?

Wong Jian’an continued, "I’m pleased to inform you that the loan Han Corporation applied for last time, I’ve already approved it."

"Not only that, but I approved the maximum amount you applied for, exactly three hundred million!"

Han Chengye was at a loss for words, "Governor Wong, what... what do you mean?"

Wong Jian’an snorted coldly, "Don’t you understand yet? The three hundred million loan issued to you a month ago wasn’t applied for under Miss Han’s name, but in the name of you, Han Chengye!"

"What..." Han Chengye was completely stupefied. "Governor Wong, you... you’re joking, right?"

Wong Jian’an sneered, "A joke? Do you think I’d joke about something like this with you? Let me tell you, I approved your loan application a month ago, and the system processed it as a loan under your name."

"If you don’t believe it, you can come to the bank to check anytime!"

After hanging up the phone, Han Chengye received images sent by Wong Jian’an – it was the approval page for his loan application, along with the process records in the system. The time when the loan was disbursed was indeed the same day he had Han Jingting apply for the loan a month ago!

At that moment, Han Chengye was completely dumbfounded.

He had originally thought to let Han Jingting shoulder the three hundred million loan so that he could carry on carefree as if nothing had happened.

Now look what happened, this three hundred million loan had fallen back onto his head again.

After all this time, it turned out he was the clown!

Soon after, Han Chengye received another voice message from Wong Jian’an.

"Han Chengye, don’t say I didn’t warn you, today is the final deadline for repayment. If you don’t pay back the three hundred million by midnight, then your Han Corporation better get ready to be auctioned off!"

Upon hearing Wong Jian’an’s message, Han Chengye’s legs went weak, and he almost collapsed onto the ground.

Han Chengye was on the verge of a breakdown; he simply couldn’t understand how things had turned out this way.

Seeing Han Chengye in this state, Chen Xuan merely smiled faintly, "Han Chengye, I warned you already, you have to pay back this three hundred million by tomorrow. What do you say, do you believe me now?"

Han Chengye suddenly realized in shock, staring at Chen Xuan in disbelief, "It was you?! You’re the one pulling the strings behind the scenes!"

Chen Xuan smiled faintly, neither confirming nor denying.

Han Chengye’s guess was correct; indeed, it was Chen Xuan’s doing with the loan!

When Han Jingting had decided to secure the loan for Han Chengye last time, Chen Xuan had already anticipated that Han Chengye might default, so he had sent a text to Wong Jian’an at that moment, getting him to approve Han Chengye’s loan application, and then listed Han Chengye as the borrower!

Thinking back, Chen Xuan’s decision back then was truly brilliant!

"Instead of thinking about all this, you’d better figure out how to pay back those three hundred million!" Chen Xuan said calmly.

Upon hearing about paying the debt, Han Chengye felt an oppressive sensation in his heart.

The loan definitely had to be paid back; otherwise, the bank, in a fit of anger, would surely seal off the entire Han Corporation, and the losses would be even greater by then.

But if he were to repay the loan, then investment in Jinxiu City was completely off the table!

After much hesitation, Han Chengye finally made his decision.

"President Dong, I’m sorry, but I won’t be able to join this investment round."

Thinking about the sixty million in profits slipping away, Han Chengye still felt somewhat unwilling to let go.

Dong Jianke sighed, "Forget it, since President Han is tied up, we can just collaborate some other time when the opportunity arises."

Han Chengye nodded, "Thank you for understanding, President Dong. Since that’s the case, could you please transfer the thirty million back to our company’s account as soon as possible?"

"Thirty million?" Dong Jianke chuckled bitterly, "President Han, your memory is quite something. Didn’t I tell you before? That thirty million was a deposit. Now, since you can’t come up with the remaining two hundred and seventy million in full payment due to your own reasons, naturally, this deposit can’t be refunded."

"What did you say?!" Han Chengye yelled as if he had been stepped on the tail, "President Dong, are you making a mistake? I had just transferred that thirty million to you, it hasn’t even been ten minutes, and you’re already trying to swallow it; isn’t that a bit too cold-hearted?!"

Dong Jianke snorted, "Affection? President Han, we’re both businessmen, doing business can’t just be about affection, it naturally has to be about the contract."

"Look, it’s written here in black and white on the contract, if the full payment can’t be made, not a penny of this thirty million deposit will be refunded!"

"I’m just following the contract here, I think you should also understand the rules!"

"I... damn it..." Han Chengye was so angry he wanted to curse a storm.
