I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 491 Tuofang Technology looks a bit like Mintian Holdings.
The three of them didn't do any sightseeing in Baotou City. After finishing their business in Hohhot, they rested for two days, visited Dazhao Temple and Zhaojun Museum, and even rented a car to drive around the Chulechuan Grassland.

Unfortunately, it's winter now, and everything is covered in white snow, so we can't see the scene of "the wind blowing the grass low to reveal cattle and sheep".

Finally, Fang Qingye and the other two took a plane back to Shanghai.

He told Hu Lingling and Yue Kai to go back to Nanxin first, while he went back to his home in Yucuiyuan Community.

Bai Ou was still at work when she sent a driver from Tuofang Technology to take the two of them to the bus station and then to the villa.

Back home, Fang Qingye took a shower and changed into her pajamas, feeling much more comfortable.

To be honest, although the rooms in Montreal all had heating and the temperature was 24 degrees Celsius, so I didn't feel cold at all, the air was too dry. I felt thirsty and parched after staying here for a few days.

Back in Shanghai, breathing in the humid sea breeze, I immediately felt much better.

It's a little past four in the afternoon, and Bai Ou called again to say that he'll be working overtime tonight and probably won't be back until eight o'clock, so he'll have to take care of dinner by himself.

work overtime?

Fang Qingye couldn't understand why there were so many people working overtime.
When I was the CEO of Topway Technology, I never worked an extra day, and I was rarely seen at the company throughout the year!
Of course, things are different now. Bai Ou, as CEO, is working hard to transform Tuofang Technology into a modern financial investment company that integrates equity investment and asset management.

This is somewhat similar to Mintian Holdings, isn't it?
Sitting on the sofa, Fang Qingye couldn't help but laugh as she thought about it.

Fortunately, I was cautious and not as audacious as Xiao Jianhua, who illegally absorbed public deposits, breached trust in the use of entrusted property, illegally used funds, and engaged in bribery.
It is said that there were a whole host of charges when the case was filed.

Fang Qingye sipped his tea, pondering the matter again. Since he had designs on the Mintian Group, he needed to mobilize all the forces he could.

Doesn't Mintian Holdings also have a branch in Shanghai? And many of its financial activities take place in Shanghai!
After thinking for a moment, he picked up his phone again and this time called Liu Shuai.

As soon as the call connected, Liu Shuai's enthusiastic voice came through: "Qingye, are you still in Inner Mongolia?"

"I'm already back in Shanghai."

"Oh, February 21st, the twelfth day of the first lunar month, is the day Li Lei and I get married. Please come."

"Congratulations! I'll definitely come! Is there anything I can help you with?" Fang Qingye asked.

"Help me find a few cars for the wedding? We don't need the wedding cars anymore, I'm planning to rent them," Liu Shuai asked on the other end of the phone.

"No problem," Fang Qingye readily agreed. "How many do you need?"

“We’ll tell you after we’ve finalized the details. Actually, my colleagues and friends in Shanghai also have cars, but Li Lei insists on having a luxurious one, a high-end car. You know a lot of rich kids who drive luxury cars, so we’d like to ask for your help,” Liu Shuai explained.

"Sure, they're all Mercedes, BMW, and Audi, I'll definitely give you face!" Fang Qingye said with a smile.

"Hehe, thanks. I won't disturb your time with Bai Ou. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, you know."

"What? Bai Ou was working overtime and didn't get back until after eight o'clock."

"Heh, so you're all alone?" Liu Shuai asked.

Yes, what about you?

"Li Lei is also working overtime. She's been investigating a big case recently, so she often works overtime."

Since the hype surrounding Zixin Pharmaceutical, Fang Qingye has been inactive in the domestic securities market, whether in A-shares or futures, for almost a year, so he doesn't care about it now.

Upon hearing Liu Shuai say this, Fang Qingye said, "How about we have a couple more drinks together later?"

"You? Drinking?" Liu Shuai laughed loudly on the other end of the phone: "And besides, aren't you going to close the mountains for reforestation?"

"Hey, it's been so long since we last met, let's have a meal together."

“Okay, where?” “Let’s skip the hotel and go to Changli Road Food Street instead. How about we grab some snacks?” Fang Qingye suggested.

"Sure, I'll take a taxi and try to get there around six o'clock."

"Okay, I'll contact you then."

Fang Qingye scrolled through her phone for a while, left a message for Bai Ou on WeChat, and when she saw that it was almost time, she put on her down jacket, left the villa, and took a taxi from the community.

Changli Road Food Street is located in the core area of ​​Zhoujiadu Subdistrict. It was formerly a supporting facilities street of Shencheng Steel Plant. The night market is said to open from 4 pm to 3 am every day.

Fang Qingye took a taxi to the night market. Although it was winter, the place was still very lively at night, with people happily eating lamb skewers in the cold wind.

After contacting Liu Shuai by phone, Fang Qingye met him. The two had known each other for many years and their relationship was naturally very close. They smiled and put their arms around each other's shoulders as they entered a snack shop.

Grilled oysters, spicy crayfish, and spiced tofu—Fang Qingye and the others "closed the mountain for afforestation," so they simply drank Shikumen yellow wine to warm their stomachs.

"Qingye, how was your trip to Inner Mongolia to attend the board meeting of Baoshang Bank?" Liu Shuai asked while eating.

"It was a good show."

Fang Qingye then briefly explained the process.

"Heh? I didn't expect the infighting to be this fierce. Aoba, you'd better be careful then," Liu Shuai warned.

“I have a very small share in Baoshang Bank and no influence on the board of directors, so I don’t get involved in these matters,” Fang Qingye replied, changing the subject: “Liu Shuai, do you know Mintian Holdings? It’s a company that specializes in finance, equity investment, trust, and insurance, and it also has a branch in Shanghai.”

Liu Shuai shook his head. "I didn't notice."

"They also engage in financial activities, and your China Banking Regulatory Commission might even be involved. If you have any news about them in the future, whether it's positive or negative, just tell me. Don't tell anyone else about this."

"Did Mintian Holdings offend you?" Liu Shuai asked curiously.

"It's not really true. After all, my Tuofang Technology is also involved in equity investment, which is in competition with us. It's best to be on guard."

"Okay, no problem. I'll report you if I hear anything about him."

Fang Qingye did not tell Liu Shuai that Baoshang Bank was actually a company controlled by Mintian Holdings, feeling that he was only a chief clerk at the moment and did not have enough power. Knowing too much would not be a good thing for him.

The two chatted and ate until after eight o'clock before heading home. Of course, Fang Qingye didn't forget to take some crayfish home with her before leaving, something no girl could resist.

Fang Qingye took a taxi back to the villa. Bai Ou was already home, having changed into her pajamas and lying on the sofa watching TV. When she saw Fang Qingye bring back crayfish, she immediately laughed and said, "You're tempting me again."

"You're my wife, it's only natural for me to seduce you." Fang Qingye smiled and took a plate from the kitchen, pouring the crayfish into it.

"Here, eat it while it's hot."

"You have to peel it for me," the white lotus root said coquettishly.

"No problem." Fang Qingye put on the thin plastic gloves that the store had given her and got busy.

Bai Ou happily ate the shrimp and asked, "Ye Zi, did you invite Liu Shuai to dinner today because you wanted him to help investigate Mintian Holdings?"

"Ha, you could have guessed that?"

"What's the big deal? You went to see Zhong Huai from the Jiangsu Provincial Banking Regulatory Bureau, and you even made a special trip to Hohhot to meet Tang Qing from the Inner Mongolia Provincial Banking Regulatory Bureau. How could you forget Liu Shuai from the Shanghai Municipal Banking Regulatory Bureau?!"

"Indeed, but he doesn't know much about Mintian Holdings, so we'll see what happens in the future."

Anyway, this isn't urgent, we can take it slow.
