"Understood, President Qing, I'll go do it now."
The secretary nodded and left the ward, closing the door.
For a moment, Qing Si Huai was alone in the spacious ward. He leaned against the headboard, his eyes vacant as he gazed at the ceiling, lost in thought.
Although this was the best time to acquire Zhuo Rui Technology, funding was the most troublesome issue.
How could he obtain such a vast sum of money?
"Hoo~"
With no solution in sight, Qing Si Huai tiredly rubbed the bridge of his nose. His hand accidentally brushed against the gauze on his face, pulling at the wound. The pain made him wince, and he felt an inexplicable surge of anger.
Wealth was his greatest pursuit, but for Qing Si Huai, appearance was also paramount.
Now, having failed to achieve his goal and suffering a loss, he had damaged his own appearance. The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and the more he wanted to get Lan Shu.
...
Zhuo Rui Technology.
Because multiple companies under Qing Mu Ye had collapsed overnight, and although the company had done its best to settle all employee salaries, it still owed compensation to its partner companies.
Numerous debt collectors and news reporters had surrounded the entrance of Zhuo Rui Technology, causing a complete traffic jam on Lin Yuan Road where the company was located.
Inside a car not far from the company, Shen Lian Nuo and Lu Yan Ming sat. Due to the traffic jam, the car had stopped.
Shen Lian Nuo looked at the crowded people at the entrance of Zhuo Rui Technology and the white banners being displayed, her brow furrowed with worry. "Do you think if I hadn't impulsively gone to the capital to beat up Tang Wan Xing that day, this situation wouldn't have happened?"
She felt a sense of self-reproach, blaming her impulsive act of beating up Tang Wan Xing that day.
They say impulse is the devil, and she truly felt it.
"It has nothing to do with you."
Lu Yan Ming held a cigarette in his hand, his wrist resting on the car window, his fingers flicking away the ash. "Mu Ye sent someone to cut off one of Tang Wan Xing's fingers, which enraged the Tang family."
"What?"
Shen Lian Nuo frowned incredulously. "He sent someone to chop off Tang Wan Xing's finger?"
"Yes." Lu Yan Ming pushed up the glasses on his nose with the hand holding the cigarette.
"As expected of my master, he really knows how to get things done." Shen Lian Nuo gave a thumbs-up, then sighed with relief, "Fortunately, it wasn't my fault, otherwise I would have felt terribly guilty."
She let out a long sigh, still shaken.
Leaning back in the passenger seat, she glanced at the people at the entrance of Zhuo Rui Technology and said, "I still have fifty billion yuan. I want to help Master."
"A drop in the bucket."
Lu Yan Ming said concisely.
"Whether it's a drop in the bucket or not, any help is good. Besides, looking at him like this, Jing Wei wouldn't be at ease." As a friend, Shen Lian Nuo was truly worried about Qing Mu Ye.
"Multiple companies under Mu Ye went bankrupt simultaneously. The huge debt plus bank loans, even a hundred billion wouldn't solve it. Do you think throwing in fifty billion will make any difference?"
"Then what should we do? Just sit and wait?"
"Wait." Lu Yan Ming took a puff of the cigarette in his mouth, exhaling a faint wisp of smoke.
Shen Lian Nuo looked confused. "Wait? What do you mean?"
"Just wait and see."
Expecting Lu Yan Ming to have some brilliant plan, Shen Lian Nuo was frustrated when all she got after waiting for so long were the words "wait and see." She rolled her eyes in exasperation.
"Since there's nothing much going on, I'll go to the film set to accompany Jing Wei. Firstly, to protect her safety; secondly, to take care of her emotions and guide her." Shen Lian Nuo tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and muttered irritably, "This traffic is so bad, why haven't we moved ten meters in half an hour?!" She then added, "Take me to Jing Wei's film set."
