When Yuan Tong came out, he stood beside Xu Lin, looking coldly at Zhou Yi, Pan Zhiyao, and the others.
Three or four core traders who had good relationships with Yuan Tong also stood behind him. The rest stood near the door, seemingly enjoying the show.
"What's going on? What's with all the noise?" Wang Wentao glanced at them and reprimanded.
Zhao Yang stood there, coldly observing Xu Lin and Wang Fang, his mind racing with thoughts but not saying anything.
Zhou Yi also glared at Xu Lin and Wang Fang with resentment, not responding to Yuan Tong.
Zheng Junpeng and Chen Wei remained silent, their faces dark as they observed Xu Lin and Wang Fang.
"They violated the rules. Wang Fang closed their positions, and then Zhao Yang brought a group of people up here to cause trouble! If you don't handle this, then our risk control can't do its job!" Xu Lin stared at Zhao Yang and the others angrily, speaking up.
Upon hearing this, Wang Wentao looked at Zhao Yang and asked sternly, "Lao Zhao, is this true?"
"We engaged in some rapid trading. Originally, each of us could have made a lot of money, but then this something-or-other forced us to close our positions. Not only did we not make any money, but we also lost some!" Zhao Yang said coldly.
"Humph, and you have the nerve to justify breaking the rules? No wonder you were making so much money; it turns out it was all through rule-breaking! Impressive!" Yuan Tong sneered disdainfully.
"Shut up! Do you have any right to speak?" Zhao Yang retorted bluntly.
Yuan Tong's face turned red with anger, but he didn't dare say anything.
Although he was a core team trader, he was far from being on the same level as Zhao Yang, who was a veteran team leader. Essentially, Zhao Yang was part of the leadership, while Yuan Tong was just an employee.
Wang Wentao also understood now. Rapid trading wasn't such a big deal.
The reason it was listed as a rule violation was that the company's total permissions were limited. If a trader exceeded their permissions, it was akin to encroaching on others' permissions. In the same moment, others might not be able to trade at their full permissions.
But such occurrences were rare. Unless all 200+ traders in the company traded at their maximum permissions within a few minutes, causing a shortage of permissions, it wouldn't be an issue. Most traders rarely traded at their maximum permissions.
So, in general, when rapid trading occurred, risk control only needed to remind the trader not to do it too frequently.
But now, Wang Fang had forced them to close their positions!
Wang Wentao was somewhat angry, but he couldn't fault Wang Fang.
Principally, Wang Fang hadn't done anything wrong.
The key was that Wang Wentao sensed something was off.
Wang Fang, a risk control officer who had only been with the company for a few months, had always been cautious. Unless a trader committed a severe violation, like what happened with Wang Dongcheng's margin call last time, she wouldn't easily force a trader to close their positions.
But this time, even for a relatively minor violation, she had resolutely forced them to close their positions!
Something wasn't right!
Wang Wentao naturally thought, could it be that Luo Chen was behind this?
The possibility was high!
Although he was angry, Wang Wentao knew it wasn't the time to confront Luo Chen. So, he gave Zhao Yang a meaningful look, then said, "Alright, everyone, go back. How many times have I told you not to engage in rapid trading? Even after all these reminders, you still don't listen! Consider this a lesson!"
Xu Lin snorted disdainfully, gave Zhao Yang and Zhou Yi a haughty look, then led Wang Fang away.
Yuan Tong also looked at them with contempt, then left.
Zhou Yi stared coldly at them, his eyes somewhat chilling.
"Chen Wei, take them back. Lao Zhao, come with me," Wang Wentao patted Chen Wei's shoulder and said, then greeted Zhao Yang before entering his office.
"Go back, and I'll give you guys a bit more permissions later. During this period, be more cautious," Zhao Yang told them meaningfully, then went into Wang Wentao's office.
"Let's go," Chen Wei said calmly, turning to leave.
Seeing this, Zhao Yang and Wang Fang's position Xu Lin and Wang Fang, hmphed, and walked away.
Yuan Tong also showed contempt before leaving.
Zhou Yi continued to glare at them, his eyes somewhat threatening.
"Chen Wei, take them back first. Lao Zhao, come with me," Wang Wentao patted Chen Wei's shoulder and said, then greeted Zhao Yang before entering his office.
"Go back, and I'll give you guys a bit more permissions later. During this period, be more cautious," Zhao Yang told them meaningfully, then went into Wang Wentao's office.

Yuan Tong also looked disdainfully at them before leaving.
Zhou Yi continued to stare at them coldly, his gaze somewhat intimidating.
"Chen Wei, take them back first. Lao Zhao, come with me," Wang Wentao patted Chen Wei on the shoulder and said before calling out to Zhao Yang and heading into his office.
"Let's go," Chen Wei said lightly, then turned and walked away.
Zhou Yi glanced at Xu Lin and Wang Fang, who had already returned to their seats, snorted, and followed Chen Wei downstairs.
As they descended the stairs, Zhou Yi remarked, "I can't swallow this."
"You can't do anything about it. Mr. Wang is clearly trying to downplay the situation. What can you do? Hit the little girl? Forget it. Let's just be careful this month and leave as soon as possible after it's over," sighed Zheng Junpeng.
Zhou Yi didn't respond.
Chen Wei continued to walk ahead, silent.
Like Wang Wentao, he also suspected that Luo Chen was behind this.
Luo Chen likely instructed Xu Lin to instigate Wang Fang.
The question was, what benefits did they offer Wang Fang to make her do such a thing?
When they returned, Yu Jia and the others asked how it went. Zheng Junpeng said everything was fine, and no one pressed for more details.
Chen Wei pondered quietly for a moment before putting the matter aside and focusing on trading again.
Zhou Yi, however, was not in the mood. He was on his phone, seemingly chatting with someone.
Chen Wei ignored him. In the meantime, he made a profit of over twenty thousand yuan from a trade that gained him five hundred lots. He then made a few more trades in large-cap stocks.
As they worked, Zhao Yang came in and emphasized the importance of following the rules, especially regarding stop-loss orders.
Everyone understood why Zhao Yang was emphasizing these points.
Later, Zhao Yang came to Zhou Yi and Zheng Junpeng, telling them that their permissions had been increased to one thousand lots. It was enough, and they were instructed not to engage in consecutive trades.
Afterward, Zhao Yang dragged a chair and sat next to Chen Wei, whispering, "Mr. Wang is also quite angry."
Chen Wei nodded without saying anything.
"Now is not the time for Mr. Wang to act too obvious. You guys be careful for now. But I don't think Wang Fang will dare to do anything too extreme again," Zhao Yang added.
"Let's hope so," Chen Wei replied.
"Alright, if you need anything, just let me know. I'm heading back now."
After Zhao Yang left, Zhou Yi shut down his computer with a grim expression and left the office.
Chen Wei also closed his computer and followed.
When Zhou Yi saw Chen Wei coming out too, he hesitated for a moment, then called out, "Boss."
Chen Wei nodded and, without saying anything, went to the elevator and pressed the button, waiting for it to arrive.
Once inside, Chen Wei said, "Don't act recklessly."
"I know what I'm doing," Zhou Yi said with a grim expression.
"As long as you know. It's not worth it for a few tens of thousands of yuan," Chen Wei said.
Zhou Yi nodded silently.
Chen Wei didn't ask him what he intended to do.
After they exited the elevator, Chen Wei let Zhou Yi go first and sat on the sofa in the lobby, waiting for a while.
