In order to save her son, Li Juanzi, who was restricted from spending, had to sell her jewelry and house. However, just as she sent the money out, she was reported. Now the only person from the Li family able to be active outside is Li Ru’an. Unfortunately, after working for the Li Family for so many years, he himself doesn’t have much authority.
And now Li Juanzi doesn’t want to hand over power to him. By the ti she cos out, the shares she holds are already worthless. Unable to afford upcoming projects, the esteed Li Family is quickly nearing bankruptcy.
With the Li Family about to go bankrupt, naturally, Li Hui’s small company will no longer be profitable. By the ti he is bailed out, most of the key staff in the company have already left, and it is heavily in debt.
Li Hui did not expect such a huge company of the Li family to be devastated by the appearance of an illegitimate child. He had considered suing Li Chao, accusing him of stealing company secrets and engaging in malicious competition.
Unfortunately, it seems that Li Chao had a strong backer. Li Hui couldn’t find a shred of evidence and had to chalk it up to bad luck.
Now the most crucial thing is to secure so money to keep the upcoming project going, so as not to let the stock price hit rock bottom. However, now the bank not only refuses to lend them money but also urges them to repay it quickly. Selling off the remaining family assets can only fill a small gap, but there’s no way to tackle the big projects.
Li Hui thought about borrowing money, but all the brothers who were usually friendly with him now avoided him like the plague. With no other choice, he could only sell his company to save the Li Family, but it was still not enough.
At his wit’s end, he went to the Shen Family, believing that even if everyone abandoned him, Xia Shian wouldn’t. He was convinced she would help him, so he approached her with confidence.
"Shi’an, now only you can help . I don’t need much, just lend three hundred million temporarily."
"Three hundred million?" Xia Shian was taken aback and her face showed so difficulty.
She gently furrowed her brow: "Li Hui, what on earth is wrong with the Li Family? I’ve been resting recently and haven’t paid much attention to what’s going on in the circle."
Li Hui did not detect the refusal in Xia Shian’s tone and patiently explained: "It’s just an illegitimate child making trouble. Once I get through this period, I’ll certainly deal with him. Shi’an, can you transfer the money to by three o’clock tomorrow afternoon? Things are really urgent on my end."
"Tomorrow?" Xia Shian hesitated, looking at him apologetically, "Li Hui, why don’t you try finding soone else? Hasn’t Han Jie’s company gone public? She might have it. You know, my father-in-law and mother-in-law recently removed from my position, so I don’t have any money in my hands."
Seeing her troubled expression, Li Hui did not want to make things difficult for her, so he quickly changed the topic: "Then I’ll go ask Han Jie."
Unfortunately, Han Jie was even worse off than him, preoccupied with her own problems. By the ti she managed to co out, her company was also in a precarious situation, urgently needing money.
"Shi’an, I’m really out of options now. I must find a way to fill the gap. Two hundred million, I only need two hundred million. I’ll definitely repay you once I get through this period," she said sowhat distraught.
"Xiao Jie..." Xia Shian looked troubled, "You know, Zixing and I aren’t working right now, and we don’t have much money on hand."
"Then how much can you co up with now?"
"I...I don’t have enough money on hand to make a difference at all!"
"Can’t you think of sothing? Shi’an, you’re such a good person, you will definitely help , won’t you? Now that no one will lend money, can you help borrow? They will surely lend it to you." Han Jie pleaded.
"Why don’t we think of another way? Xiao Jie, don’t worry, we’ll definitely figure sothing out. How about Huo Xian? Can’t he do anything?"
"Don’t ntion Huo Xian. Ever since the incident, he’s disappeared without a trace, and I even suspect that the trouble in my company is his doing," Han Jie gritted her teeth with hatred.
"How could that be?" Xia Shian looked shocked, "Is it my cousin? Didn’t you say they wouldn’t dare ss around?"
"Ye Ran, it must be Ye Ran. Aren’t you afraid I’ll expose that matter?"
"What matter?" Xia Shian quickly asked.
However, Han Jie didn’t directly answer her question but hesitated for a mont: "Forget it, I don’t have enough evidence yet. Maybe Huo Xian can actually help now?"
Since Han Jie didn’t say, Xia Shian naturally couldn’t press further, but this matter lingered in her mind.
When Han Jie reached a dead end, Huo Xian finally stopped avoiding her and invited her to a secluded tea room.
Seeing Ye Ran, her steps halted, but Ye Ran leisurely drank a cup of tea: "What’s wrong, aren’t you here to ask for help?"
"Ask for help? Why would I ask you? Ye Ran, don’t forget about that matter." She snapped.
"I haven’t forgotten, but do you really think I care? Let be honest, from the day we returned, to your company going public, to now embroiling you in debt disputes, all of this was part of our plan."
"What did you say?" Han Jie was furious, "How dare you?"
"Why wouldn’t I dare? Back then, you kidnapped , made go through those things, and indirectly caused trouble for my parents. Why shouldn’t I retaliate?" Ye Ran sneered, her eyes cold, "I didn’t take your lives because I still value my own and don’t want to commit a cri because of you. Otherwise, do you think it’s just this simple a lesson?"
"Aren’t you afraid I’ll expose everything about you?"
"The assault on the day you kidnapped ? As long as my husband doesn’t care, why should I? What does your gossip account for? I’ve been through the worst, what else would bother now?"
"You... So you’re here today to laugh at ? Ye Ran, you’re impressive, you say you’re not afraid, I’ll make sure everyone knows by tonight." Han Jie stood up in anger, slamming the table as she prepared to leave.
"Did you go to Xia Shian to borrow money? I bet you didn’t get it, tsk tsk... so pitiable. This is your so-called best friend; you always defended her, yet in your hardest tis, she does nothing." Ye Ran shook her head and sighed.
Han Jie suddenly turned back, glaring angrily: "What do you know, Shi’an was also hard by you, she has no job now. What can she do for ?"
"Look at yourself, still deluding yourself for her. How much money can she make? Even if she never works again, she’s still the Shen Family’s daughter-in-law, the Xia Family’s sole heir. She dismissed you with just a no-work excuse? I know the size of your funding gap. Although the amount needed is large, it’s just two villas and so jewelry from Xia Shian. Can you truly say she doesn’t have it?"
Han Jie’s face looked grim: "Stop trying to sow discord, it’s useless. Shi’an is my best friend."
Ye Ran shook her head: "That’s what you think. When you have worth, you are her friend. See what happens if you go bankrupt."
