Chapter 175 Financial Crisis
Chapter 175 Financial Crisis
Calvin was smoking a cigarette. Sitting on the office chair, he stared at the computer, motionless.
He lost in the thought.
Some time ago, in order to avoid risks, he gave Belle 60% of Harvey Crop’s assets, letting her bring it
to Europe to operate. He didn’t know how it was going now.
Clearly, not only Asia was affected, but the whole world. Only Europe would be a bit better than here.
But what would she do?
Picking up the mobile phone on the table, Calvin found that the mobile phone had been power off.
Damn it!
He was in such a bad mood these days, feeling an unprecedented anxiety. He didn't even dare to call
her and didn't know how to face her.
He was ashamed of himself.
He really didn’t know how to face her!
Just thinking of this, Calvin put down his phone again.
In the past, when he was with her, he felt that he was the most miserable person in the world. So he
was cruel to her.
Now, he couldn’t wait to get marry with her, but he couldn’t.
Grandma told him that it was very likely that the relationship between them would end there.
This couldn't be blamed on others. He could only blame himself.
Grandma was right. No one could help him for the mistakes he made. He could only pay for his absurd
mistakes.
He had to break his promise!
Of everything, the one who suffered the most was Belle. From the beginning to the present, she had
suffered far more than him.
To put it bluntly, the pain was brought by him.
He didn't even dare to beg her forgiveness.
Thinking of this, Calvin clenched the phone in his hand and closed his eyes.
Even if he gave her everything, he still couldn’t make up for her.
"It’s down again. It will be over if it goes on like this." Some executives let out a low cry of surprise and
panic.
"Dragged by the international financial sector, the composite index of A City went down again, setting a
record for the most slump in the past ten years. It was the so-called black Wednesday. Stock market
crashed, and the market is surrounded by an atmosphere of panic." An announcer on TV was
broadcasting.
"The continued downturn in the stock market has caused some people to lose everything overnight.
Companies with insufficient funds have declared bankruptcy one after another. The market has
experienced panic selling. The vicious cycle that has led to a further decline in the stock index."
For a while, all the phones rang in the office.
For a while, every one fell silent.
"Mr. Harvey, affected by the financial crisis, orders from several places in the market have all started to
be returned." Seth, the manager of the marketing department, took the lead to report after receiving the
call.
"Mr. Harvey, orders for luxury cars have been refunded because of inability to pay."
"Mr. Harvey, some shareholders called to ask what happened, and some asked to withdraw their
shares."
...
Calvin took a deep drag and sat still, as if he didn't care what happened.
Retribution! This was retribution.
Maybe it would be better after he lost everything.
If he could exchange it for Belle, he would be happy.
He should have nothing at the beginning. With his behavior, why should he have a successful career
and a status that everyone envied?
Career, family, marriage, everything got tangled up.
There was a faint smile on his face, as if he was watching a joke.
Everyone was stunned. They couldn't understand his meaning.
After Belle got off the plane, she felt the seriousness of the matter even more.
It seemed that the atmosphere of panic had become stronger after she came to A City.
She saw that many shops post transfer on the doors, and the restaurants in shopping malls closed.
Without thinking about it, she took a taxi and ran directly towards International Triumphal Court.
She had a bad feeling that Harvey Corp. must have encountered unprecedented troubles. Calvin must
be in a dreadful situation now, otherwise he would not have called her for so many days.
Even if he didn't call her to chat with her, he would ask about his dad’s situation. A few days ago,
whenever he had time, he would call her to ask about his dad’s situation. The atmosphere was
completely wrong now.
Until she pushed open the door of the meeting room.
She saw the room was surrounded by smoke.
The strong smell of smoke came out, and the dull air was suffocating.
Belle frowned slightly.
The moment the door of the meeting room was pushed open, a breath of fresh air drifted in.
Everyone’s eyes light up.

When he looked up, he saw Belle appearing at the door. She was wearing a long crimson coat with
wavy hair draping over her shoulders. She was charming, and was full of confidence.
Her bright eyes looked directly at him.
There was anxiety and worry in her eyes.
After Calvin's heartbeat missed a beat, it began to jump wildly. Then he had an unprecedented
excitement. When the woman he was thinking about stood in front of him, he knew how much he
missed her.
Huge joy came to him. He smiled and the eyes lit up.
It was almost in an instant.
An unprecedented courage rose in his heart.
For their happiness, he decided to go for a fight.
If he didn't marry Lexie, Harvey Corp. would be severely damaged and his reputation would be
damaged, or he would be criticized by others. But he was willing.
He could make a comeback.
As long as Belle could stand by his side and trust him, that was enough.
He didn't want to lose Belle, not at all!
He had never been a good person. Even if he was mean, so what?
For the woman he loved, he was willing to bear the consequence.
"Belle, you're back." He stood up with a smile on his face.
As if there was a spring breeze blowing away the darkness of the room.
The figure of Belle was like a fire, lighting up the entire silent meeting room. She walked towards Calvin
with a confident smile. Her beautiful eyes swept away. Everyone's looks fell into her eyes.
She understood everything.
It seemed that Harvey Corp. had really encountered difficulties this time.
But was this also called difficulty?
Calvin had been in the business world for so long. Was he scared by this trivial matter?
Financial crisis? It was nothing!
She slowly approached Calvin, staring at him.
Calvin's eyes were clear and shone brightly. He saw Belle standing in front of him and smiling playfully
and charmingly. The fire in his heart ignited instantly!
There was a challenge in this woman's eyes.
Challenge what? He understood! It was a challenge to adversity, a calmness to difficulties, and a little
contempt for him.
He was actually despised by the woman he loved, which was too hurtful!
In such an instant.
He laughed out loud.
He laughed so confidently and calmly. The confidence that had disappeared from him came back in an
instant.
Belle was sure that she saw a free, confident and uninhibited man, standing in front of her with the
ambition.
Belle smiled faintly and sat down next to him.
She opened the laptop in her hand.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
They heard Calvin's hearty laughter. That kind of laughter was definitely a joyful laughter from the
bottom of his heart.
The alarm was finally lifted.
They were sure that Mr. Calvin would no longer lost temper for no reason!
Everyone saw the sun, but the snow was still flying outside and the sky was already gloomy.
However, they just saw the bright sun.
A relaxed atmosphere replaced tension and decadence.
Belle's thin and flexible fingers tapped on the keyboard a few times. Then she raised her head, with a
faint smile on her face, which was beautiful and dazzling.
"Mr. Harvey, our company's biggest opportunity is here. Please buy several major companies under
Mobile and Wireless immediately. Be quick." After Belle sat down, she turned her head slightly. Facing
Calvin’s black eyes, she said clearly.
Her words were decisive, straightforward, and full of confidence.
Calvin could smell the faint scent of lily from her, as well as her indifferent and intoxicating natural
scent. It seemed that he hadn't smelled such a reassuring scent for a long time, so that he would be so
distracted.
The lingering scent came into his nose, and then slowly came into his body. Calvin was intoxicated.
Even his mind became unusually clear.
"Miss Morris, the market is panicking now. Would it be too abrupt to buy them at this time?" Someone
asked.
"Yeah, Miss Morris, I am afraid that our company does not have the ability to acquire these companies
now. Even if we acquire them, if it continues to fall in the future, it will drag the entire company. But if
we didn’t take any actions, although it will be affected, at least it can hold on some days. It will not be
difficult to revive." Different opinions came out again.
Unexpectedly, Belle smiled faintly. Her voice resounded in the meeting room.
"Dear colleagues, if we take this opportunity to acquire them, not only will the company not be
damaged, but it will improve to a higher level. Haven't you always wanted to buy Mobile and Wireless?
Their profits and benefits are second only to Harvey Corp. Besides, they have the government as the
support. They are fundamentally stable. Usually, we have no chance to acquire them, but now God has
given us a chance. We’d better to take actions now. Colleagues, if we want to get the wealth, we have
to take risks. Usually, even if we wait for decades, we may not be able to wait for this opportunity. The
financial crisis will not last too long. After the demand in the market has been suppressed for a period
of time, it will break out very soon. This kind of panic is simply temporary. Don’t worry. It will subside
immediately. This is the darkest time before dawn. The sooner the better. The opportunity is short-lived.
So be quick."
