"That's a lot of small change!" Shen Qiqi exclaimed exaggeratedly as she looked at the budget report. The next second, her smile froze on her face.

The huge funding gap was like a black hole, swallowing up all her joy.

Lu Qing gently rubbed her hair and said, "Don't worry, there will always be a way out when you reach the mountain." His firm tone and warm touch were like a ray of sunshine, dispelling the haze in Shen Qiqi's heart.

She took a deep breath and forced a smile. "Well, we'll fight back if the enemy comes, and we'll block it if the water comes. I'm not one to be scared!"

"Let's go and see President Wang again!" Shen Qiqi

Inside the bank, the air conditioner was blowing cold air, and President Wang's face was even colder than the temperature of the air conditioner.

"Comrade Shen Qiqi, I've made it very clear to you that the risk of additional loans is too great, and we cannot approve it." His tone was cold, leaving no room for negotiation.

"President Wang, our products are in short supply right now, and the prospects are bright. The additional loans will be repaid soon. You..." Shen Qiqi wanted to argue again, but was interrupted impatiently by President Wang, "Alright, alright, no more talk! I said no, it's no!"

Shen Qiqi felt a surge of anger rushing to her head. She took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart.

The air in the president's office seemed to be frozen, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

She pursed her lips tightly, stared at President Wang with burning eyes, and said word by word, "President Wang, are you really not going to reconsider this?"

President Wang remained unmoved, even chuckling disdainfully. "Consider? What else is there to consider? This petty business of yours is too risky. I advise you to call it quits as soon as possible."

A nameless anger burned fiercely in Shen Qiqi's chest, but she suppressed it forcefully, saying with a forced smile, "Okay, President Wang, you're right. We'll meet again someday."

After leaving the bank, the smile on Shen Qiqi's face disappeared instantly, replaced by a face full of gloom.

She kicked a stone on the side of the road in frustration. "I'm so pissed off! This old stubborn guy has such a stubborn mind!"

Lu Qing hugged her shoulders with concern, "Don't be angry, Qiqi, let's think of other ways." He patted her back gently, comforting her like a child.

In the next few days, Shen Qiqi worked like a top, running around to all possible investment institutions in the city. However, the result was always the same - rejection.

As the sun sets, the streetlights on both sides of the street light up one after another, and the dim light stretches Shen Qiqi's figure out.

She walked home with tired steps, feeling that all the strength in her body had been drained.

"Should I really give up?" As soon as this thought came to her mind, she ruthlessly suppressed it.

No, she won't give up!

She had finally come this far, how could she give up so easily!

Lu Qing walked beside her silently, holding her hand tightly.

His hands were large and warm, as if conveying a strength that supported her to keep moving forward.

Suddenly, Shen Qiqi stopped.

She raised her head suddenly, and she remembered a niche investment group that she had previously overlooked...

Three days later, in a simply decorated conference room, Shen Qiqi was talking to several investors who were dressed simply.

She introduced her project with confidence, and every word was full of passion and power.

"My fellow villagers, I believe my project will be a success! It will not only bring us rich returns, but also benefit the local people!"

As soon as Shen Qiqi finished speaking, warm applause rang out in the conference room.

Several investors expressed great interest in her project and expressed their willingness to learn more about the details of the cooperation.

Shen Qiqi was ecstatic, but she tried hard to control her excitement and kept a professional smile on her face.

“Comrade Shen, your project is very promising. We…” One of the investors just started talking when Shen Qiqi’s phone suddenly rang.

She glanced at the caller ID and her expression changed slightly. "Sorry, I have to take a call first."

She walked to the window and pressed the answer button, "Hello?"

A deep male voice came from the other end of the phone, "Qiqi, I found a new source of funds..."

Shen Qiqi hung up the phone, took a deep breath, calmed down her excitement, turned around and returned to the conference room with a confident smile on her face.

"My fellow villagers, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

She looked around, her eyes fixed on each investor. "I know you all still have many questions. Now, I will answer them one by one."

Next, Shen Qiqi explained in detail the advantages and profit model of the project, and patiently answered various questions raised by investors.

Her professional attitude and clear thinking won the recognition of everyone present.

"Comrade Shen, I'm investing in your project!" A gray-haired old man was the first to express his opinion. He slammed the table excitedly, "I believe in you, and I believe in this project!"

"I'll invest too! It would be a shame to miss such a good project!" another middle-aged woman followed suit.

With someone taking the lead, other investors also expressed their willingness to invest.

The conference room suddenly became lively and an exciting atmosphere filled the air.

Shen Qiqi looked at the scene in front of her, her heart filled with joy and gratitude.

She knew she succeeded!

Lu Qing stood at the door of the conference room, watching all this silently.

His eyes were full of love and pride, and a gentle curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He walked to Shen Qiqi and gently stroked her hair, "Qiqi, you are awesome!"
