Chapter 148 – Li WangJin will Also Be Attending the Banquet (2)
Fang JunRong must admit that Sun Mei always has the most up-to-date gossips. It seemed she knew everything that was going on in their circle. She didn’t think much about it after she had thanked Sun Mei.
In the end, Li WangJin could no longer pose a threat to her. His trying so hard to get an invitation was probably his last resort to grab himself a last straw. She wondered what else he had left to offer in exchange.
She had heard that Ayron Corporation’s stocks had been plummeting so much that the shareholders were having arterial sclerosis. They were short of standing inline to go up to the roof of a tall building.
If she wanted to buy him out, now was the perfect time. Except she didn’t want to do that. She didn’t like most of the shareholders of Ayron Corporation. None of them showed her any mercy when she was down in her previous life. They could all go to hell with Li WangJin and Ayron Corporation.

Li WangJin finally understood what it meant to be besieged on all sides. He was down and angry when he divorced Fang JunRong but comparing where he was now and back then, that was nothing.
Ever since the Zhang’s had placed all the blame on his with no hesitation, all of the consumers’ anger had turned to him.
Those who had purchased Cherry Blossom Pills had asked for refunds. Some of them even took things a step further and file complained of selling fraudulent products and asked for three times the compensation. As the number mounted, this has become a huge amount.
He was about to be driven to insanity by all these. He felt like an animal who had fallen into quick sand. The more he struggled, the deeper he sank. He was pitiful, helpless, and in pain.
Now his reputation had already been tied to fraudulent products. People distrust toward him had spread over to Ayron Corporation. Someone somewhere organized a group and many customers who had made their purchases previously had came asking for refunds and some even with fake receipts.
How did they have the audacity to demand for a refund on half used products?
These heartless people! Weren’t they worried that they’d be chocked to death when drinking water?
Li WangJin cursed them viciously. It wasn’t like he could take any actions other than cursing now. With the distrust and boycott from the consumers and the lost of confidence in the market, their stock price continued to drop and had already reached a new low.
“Li WangJin, when are you going to pay us back the money that you owe us? You promised you will pay us back within a few days. How come I haven’t even seen a penny yet?”
“If you don’t pay me back soon, even my company is going to run into trouble. I am not asking for profits, just pay me back what you own me for now.”
“We all have our reputations to keep. You don’t want this to end up in court, do you?”
Calls from his debtors came in nonstop making him even more distress. Everybody had lost their faith in him and worried that if they don’t rush him, they would never get their money back.
Li WangJin was losing his hair at the same rate that he was borrowing money before. Not wanting to hear any more calls from his debtors, he turned off his cellphone.
He had stealthily sold 3% of share previously to pay off his debt but he wasn’t able to get much money from that because of the drop in their stock price. Once words had gotten out, rumors had it that he was about to go bankrupt which was why he was rushing to sell his stocks. Li WangJin dared not sell any more after that and could only insisted that there was no such thing.
Nevertheless, nobody believed him and more and more people demanded their money back.
All he could do was to place his hopes on being able to find himself some investors tomorrow night.
