67: Chapter 87: Are You Willing? _1 67: Chapter 87: Are You Willing? _1 Chu Jiaxue’s eyes were slightly red, but other than that, she appeared quite normal. Obviously, Chu Jiaxue had adjusted her emotions during the time Lin Chen went to cook the noodles. “Let’s eat in the study.” “Okay!” The two entered the study and sat down on either side of the desk. Chu Jiaxue didn’t eat much in the evening and was frightened for a while, so she was starving by now. She found the Saozi noodles in her bowl more delicious than ever. Lin Chen’s movements were quick, and he finished a big bowl of noodles in no time. After gulping down a mouthful of soup, he put down his chopsticks contentedly. Feeling full and wanting to smoke, Lin Chen automatically took out a cigarette and lighter. As he was about to light up, he thought of Chu Jiaxue sitting opposite him, hesitated for a moment, and put down the lighter. Chu Jiaxue said softly, “Go ahead and smoke, it’s fine.” “Alright.” Lin Chen lit the cigarette, took a puff and exhaled gently, “Is there really no other way?” Chu Jiaxue paused with her chopsticks, “I’ve thought of every possible solution and contacted every connection I have.” Lin Chen thought for a moment, “How much is the current funding gap?” Chu Jiaxue answered, “Originally, we were short by 200 million, but now the accounts have been emptied, and we need additional funds to maintain the normal operation of the company—50 million at the very least. So, we need to borrow at least 250 million, and the 50 million must be secured within a few days, otherwise, we won’t be able to pay the employees.” Lin Chen stared at Chu Jiaxue, “What do you plan to do?” Having pondered overnight, Chu Jiaxue had a clear plan, “I will hold a shareholders’ meeting on Monday morning, and I will resign.” Lin Chen asked, “I have a video on my phone of Hu Sen confessing that he was ordered by Qian Bu Yi. Would it be useful?” Chu Jiaxue shook her head, “Qian Bu Yi can deny it. More importantly, now it’s not about who’s doing something wrong, but who can solve the company’s problems. Whoever can do that can become the president. If I can’t get the loan and the company can’t operate normally, the shareholders will blame me for all the consequences, and they only look at the results, not the process.” Lin Chen nodded, “Do you accept it?” Chu Jiaxue sighed and showed her feminine vulnerability in front of Lin Chen for the first time, “What’s the use if I’m not willing? Qian Bu Yi is backed by Aotian Group. My Qian Family may not even be able to contend with them, let alone Aotian Group. I believe I have the vision and ability to lead the company to rapid growth, but I can’t resist the underminers and backstabbers.” Lin Chen smoked a couple more puffs and spoke softly, “If someone was willing to lend money to you, would you keep going?” Chu Jiaxue nodded without hesitation, “As long as there’s a glimmer of hope, I will naturally hold on. I hope one day I can buy back the shares they hold and completely control Chuhe Group so that I will no longer be restrained like I am now.” Lin Chen finished his cigarette and stood up, “Rest well after eating, and try to accept the situation.” Chu Jiaxue pressed her lips together, her eyes sincerely gazing at Lin Chen, “Lin Chen, thank you for saving me. If it weren’t for you today, I would have ended up in a terrible situation.” Lin Chen casually replied, “It’s just a small favor; no need to thank me. You’re not too naive since you at least called me. If you didn’t even have that much vigilance, you’d be eaten alive by others sooner or later.” Sёarch* The novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Chu Jiaxue’s face flushed red. Stupid? Alright, I admit. I’m really an idiot. Watching Lin Chen walk away, Chu Jiaxue felt a strange mix of emotions. She had heard everything that had happened around her while slumped on the chair. Lin Chen dealt with the four bodyguards, took care of Hu Sen, and even gave the three accomplices a big slap each. This man is so dominating! Chu Jiaxue’s parents died early, her grandfather was old, and she had struggled alone. She had always been tough on herself, carrying the burden alone, and shedding her tears inwardly. No one had ever given her this sense of protection, making her feel a sense of security she had never felt before. The moment she leaned on Lin Chen’s back, Chu Jiaxue felt that as long as this man was around, even if the sky collapsed, he would hold it up! If he were truly her husband, he would surely protect her for the rest of her life, right? At that thought, Chu Jiaxue’s heart suddenly raced a little. However, the very next second, Chu Jiaxue thought about what she had to do and the giant obstacle she had to face, and the fleeting infatuation seemed to be extinguished by a bucket of cold water poured over her. Chilling to the bone. Chu Jiaxue’s eyes gradually turned cold. Her life was destined to be a tragedy, so why drag others down? Lin Chen was just a powerless, unconnected ex-soldier. If she dragged him into this mess, wouldn’t that be harming him? He had saved her today, so she couldn’t be ungrateful. She would honestly fulfill her three-month contract with him, complete her grandfather’s dying wish, return the jade pendant to him, give him some money, and they would forget each other in the Jianghu world. She would walk her own life! She would bear her own suffering! Chu Jiaxue buried her head, took a big bite of her noodles, and unexpectedly, her tears began to fall involuntarily…
