Chapter 339 You have to be more careful

"Thank you, Sisi. If you hadn't comforted me, I really don't know what to do."

Xu Sisi responded with a smile, her tone full of intimacy: "Why are you being so polite to me? We are good sisters. We can handle anything together."

"Just relax and work hard until he comes back."

At this moment, I was worried in the country, and Jiang Yichen was also trying to figure out how to resolve this predicament.

At night, Jiang Yichen stood in front of the French window of the hotel, the cigarette on his fingertips had burned to the end. His father's voice came from behind him: "The blockade is too strict now, and it is impossible to get out through normal channels."

He put out his cigarette and turned to look at his father: "I remember you said there is an old road in the north."

"That road was abandoned 20 years ago." Father frowned, "and now there are checkpoints everywhere."

Jiang Yichen walked to the table and ran his finger across the map: "If we go around here..." Suddenly, there was a loud noise in the distance and the glass window shook slightly.

Father Jiang subconsciously looked out the window and saw thick smoke rising from the end of the street.

"It's started again." The father sighed, "This is the third time today."

Jiang Yichen's gaze remained on a drugstore on the corner of the street.

"Dad, do you still remember our previous cooperation with the pharmaceutical company?" He was stunned for a moment: "You mean..."

"What's most in short supply right now is medical supplies." Jiang Yichen quickly pulled up data on his phone, "I checked, the price of medicines here has tripled."

Hearing this, Jiang's father's eyes lit up: "But transportation..."

"Just take that old road." Jiang Yichen drew a zigzag line on the map. "I know a few locals who are familiar with the terrain."

Father Jiang hesitated for a moment and said, "The risk is too great."

If it is destroyed, all the money will be wasted.

"It's better than being trapped here and waiting to die." Jiang Yichen's voice was very soft, "and..." His eyes fell on the family portrait on the table. Xiao Huai in the photo was smiling at the camera.

"I have to go back," he said. "They are waiting for me."

Father Jiang was silent for a while, and finally nodded: "I'll contact Lao Zhou, he's still at the border."

Jiang Yichen has already started packing: "I'll go prepare the medicine list."

"Be careful." Jiang's father suddenly grabbed his arm, "It's outside now..." Before he finished speaking, there was another explosion.

Jiang Yichen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm tough." He put on his coat and suddenly remembered something, "Oh, by the way, let Lao Zhou prepare some bulletproof vests."

"What do you want that for?"

"For the driver." Jiang Yichen opened the drawer and took out a stack of documents. "This time we are transporting life-saving items."

The father watched his son skillfully inspect the gun and suddenly felt something strange.

"When did you ..."

"I learned it abroad." Jiang Yichen said without even looking up, "I have to learn some skills to protect my family."

The sound of gunfire outside the window gradually became more frequent.

Jiang Yichen put the last pistol on his waist, turned and looked at his father: "Let's go, time is running out."

Jiang's father followed him and suddenly asked, "How are you going to divide the money?"

Jiang Yichen smiled: "Old rules, 30% to 70%."

"You three and I seven?"

"No," Jiang Yichen pushed open the door of the emergency passage, "I'll take seven and you'll take three."

He was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud: "Stinky boy."

The sound of their footsteps echoed in the stairwell, and the sound of artillery fire in the distance was gradually left behind.

Jiang Yichen took out his phone and sent me a message: "Wait for me."

Due to the time difference, I didn't reply to this message in time.

Early this morning, the investors I had agreed to invest in started contacting me in the office again.

I have a feeling that this time he is specifically picking on the fact that Jiang Yichen is not in the country.

That day, after making arrangements for Xiao Huai, I went out. I didn’t sleep well at night. It was obvious that I looked much more haggard during this period of time.

As soon as I stepped into the studio, I heard Mr. Li's voice.

"Sister Gu, we have been investing in this project for some time. It's time to talk about how to allocate the funds." As soon as Mr. Li opened his mouth, his voice was steady, but with an air of not being able to be refused.

The sun shines through the large French windows onto the conference table in the office. The flickering light and shadows make me feel uneasy. Today, the investor is asking for project funds to be allocated. The atmosphere is so tense that water can be squeezed out of it.

President Li and his group walked into the conference room, followed by a woman whose temperament was different from the others. Her eyes were evasive, and every move she made revealed a sense of discomfort. It seemed as if she was hiding some secret.

I sat at the other end of the conference table, turning the pen in my hand unconsciously, and my heart was like boiling water, churning violently. Mr. Li's attitude was very strong and aggressive, which made me feel breathless, but I knew that I must not give in at this time.

I took a deep breath and tried to keep my voice from shaking. "Mr. Li, the project is at a critical juncture. We have to be careful with the funds. If we divide the money now, things will be difficult to handle later, and the progress may be affected."

Mr. Li frowned, his eyes like a knife: "You promised before that there would be a clear plan for the allocation of funds at this stage. Now you are making excuses, how can we trust you?"

I felt uneasy, but I still explained: "The market is changing too fast, and our plan can't keep up with the changes. We have no choice but to change our strategy according to the actual situation. I promise you that once the project has phased results, we will immediately distribute the funds as agreed."

The atmosphere at the conference table became increasingly tense. Mr. Li's group would occasionally interrupt and raise all kinds of tricky questions and requests. While I was dealing with them, I had to pay attention to the woman behind Mr. Li. She kept glancing at me with a look of inquiry and uneasiness.

The meeting lasted almost two hours, and Mr. Li still didn't completely listen to me, but he didn't insist on distributing the funds immediately. He stood up and said coldly: "I hope you can solve the matter quickly and don't let us down." Then he left with his people.

I breathed a sigh of relief and slumped down on the chair, only to find that my back was soaked with sweat. At this moment, my phone vibrated. It was a message from Jiang Yichen: "Are you free tonight? I want to video chat with you."

I checked the time and replied, "Okay, eight o'clock in the evening."

At 8 o'clock in the evening, I turned on the video call on time. Jiang Yichen's face appeared on the screen, and the background was his hotel room. He looked a little tired, but when he saw me, he still managed a smile.

"How are you today?" He asked me softly, his voice a little hoarse.

I sighed and briefly told him about today's meeting. Jiang Yichen frowned slightly after hearing this: "Boss Li is not an easy person to deal with. You have to be more careful."
