President Lu naturally wouldn't disclose that Chen Yutang had backed out, as that would cause a huge shock, you know. Chen Yutang is known as the weathervane of the investment world in Ninghai City. The news of Chen Yutang's withdrawal was still only known to President Lu himself; others were not aware of it.
This was an agreement reached clandestinely between Chen Yutang and President Lu. Chen Yutang had in fact pulled out his funds, but he did not announce it publicly.
To avoid impact on himself, President Lu gritted his teeth and agreed to Chen Yutang's terms, withdrawing a portion of the already scarce funds to return to Chen Yutang. But to ensure their investment business remained unaffected, President Lu covertly used the bank's funds.
With President Lu's capability and experience, diverting funds for a short period was not a problem, but if he couldn't patch the gap soon, issues would arise sooner or later.
