Lu Qing wrote and drew on the notebook, and finally sighed heavily: "There are only three hundred yuan left in the account." Three hundred yuan!

For their small workshop which has just started, it is just a drop in the bucket.

Shen Qiqi felt dizzy and as if the sky was about to fall.

She slumped down in her chair, covering her face with her hands, trying to calm herself down.

The atmosphere in the room was as heavy as a stagnant pool of water, and everyone's face was filled with anxiety.

Shen Qiqi forced herself to cheer up. She walked to the table, picked up the account book, and carefully checked each item, trying to find areas where she could save money.

Her pretty brows were furrowed, her slender fingers kept moving on the paper, and a tense atmosphere spread around her.

Lu Qing looked at her with heartache, sat beside her silently, and gently covered her hand with his big hand, silently giving her strength.

The feeling of worry spread in his heart like a vine. He wanted to share the pressure with her, but he knew that all he could do now was to accompany her.

"No, this won't work! I have to withdraw some of the funds." Brother Zhang suddenly broke the silence. He frowned and looked at Shen Qiqi with a firm gaze. A tense atmosphere filled the air between the two of them.

Withdraw investment?

Shen Qiqi suddenly raised her head and looked at him in disbelief.

She knew that Brother Zhang had always been a cautious person, but she didn't expect that he would propose to withdraw his investment at this critical moment.

"Brother Zhang, we agreed on this before, how could you..." Shen Qiqi suppressed her inner anger and tried to create a calm atmosphere, "Now is the time when we need everyone to work together. If you withdraw your investment, it will affect the progress of the entire project!"

"Qiqi, I know what you're thinking, but I have to think about myself too!" Brother Zhang's tone was a little excited, "I've invested so much money, what if..." He didn't say anything else, but his meaning was already very clear.

Shen Qiqi took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

"Brother Zhang, don't worry, I will make this project a success! I promise you!" She said in a firm tone, with a confident light in her eyes.

“But…” Brother Zhang wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Shen Qiqi.

"No buts! We will definitely succeed!" Shen Qiqi said firmly.

Brother Zhang looked at her determined eyes and finally said nothing.

At this moment, Sister Li timidly spoke...

Mrs. Li rubbed the corner of her clothes nervously, her voice as thin as a mosquito: "Qiqi, I... I'm also very scared. My family only has this little money for a coffin. If I lose it, how will I live?" She lowered her head, and an uneasy atmosphere emanated from her, like a shivering little rabbit.

Shen Qiqi felt her head buzzing, and it felt even more dizzy than eating ten durians in one breath.

What the hell is going on!

"Sister-in-law Li, don't worry, we will definitely succeed!" Shen Qiqi tried hard to force a smile, but her tone was full of powerlessness, like a deflated ball.

She knew that now was not the time to complain and she had to find a way to stabilize the morale of the troops.

She took a deep breath and swept her eyes over everyone with determination. A persistent emotion burned in her heart, as if to devour all the anxiety.

"Think about it, we've come this far now. Are we going to give up halfway? Think about all our efforts, think about our dreams. Are we going to give up so easily?"

Brother Zhang still frowned and said nothing.

Sister Li continued to rub the corner of her clothes anxiously. Lu Qing looked at Shen Qiqi with heartache. He gently held her hand, giving her silent encouragement.

Shen Qiqi's eyes fell on the account book on the table, and suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind.

"I'm going to see President Wang!" She stood up suddenly and said in a firm tone.

"What? You're still going to look for that big Buddha?" Brother Zhang's eyes widened, as if he had heard something unbelievable. "They rejected you last time, why are you still going? Aren't you just asking for trouble?"

Sister Li also echoed: "Yeah, Qiqi, forget it, don't go." An atmosphere of doubt permeated them, like a thick fog, making it difficult to see the direction.

Shen Qiqi ignored their dissuasion, picked up her bag, and walked out without looking back.

"I'll be back soon!" The emotion of hope spread in my heart, like a seed, growing tenaciously in the barren land.

She walked quickly to the village entrance and saw Captain Zhao sitting under a tree smoking.

She hesitated for a moment, but still walked over.

"Captain Zhao..."

Shen Qiqi jogged all the way, feeling as if the wind was cheering her on.

When she arrived at the bank, she took a deep breath and knocked on the door of President Wang's office.

"President Wang, here I come again!" Shen Qiqi's mouth corners slightly raised, with a hint of unruly in her tone, like a warrior who had been injected with chicken blood.

President Wang looked up and saw her, frowning again with an expression of "Why are you here again?", but he still gestured for Shen Qiqi to sit down.

“Comrade Shen, I remember telling you very clearly last time that our bank has its own rules and regulations.” His tone was still so businesslike, like a piece of thousand-year-old ice.

Shen Qiqi had expected him to say this. She took out the project plan and market prospect analysis report she had prepared from her bag and placed them on President Wang's desk. "President Wang, please take a look at these first and then decide whether to reject me." She was full of confidence.

Although President Wang looked disdainful, he still picked up the document and read it carefully.

At first, he looked nonchalant, but as he flipped through the pages, his brows gradually relaxed and an expression of surprise appeared on his face.
