Fang Lin didn't want this matter to affect anyone, so she had to take full responsibility herself; she wasn't afraid to bear the blame.

Gu Yurou is different from Fang Lin. She is just the company's deputy general manager. She doesn't owe Dong Qing anything, and Dong Qing doesn't owe her anything either. To put it bluntly, they have a superior-subordinate employer-employee relationship.

Fang Lin would go through fire and water for Dong Qing, but Gu Yurou sometimes really couldn't.

What does it mean to be a confidante? Fang Lin is Dong Qing's confidante. She is willing to do anything for him, and even willing to take the blame for him. She is even willing to do things against her own will because she owes Dong Qing and his wife her life.

Moreover, Dongqing and his wife have taken care of her like an older sister over the years, and she would do everything in her power to help Dongqing with anything.

"Look at you, what do you take your sister for!" Gu Yurou paused for a moment and smiled, "I believe it was your own idea. To be honest, Dong Qing and his wife have treated me well. Leave this to me. I will definitely satisfy you at the board meeting tomorrow."

Fang Lin said with tears in her eyes, "Thank you!"

Fang Lin's tears at this moment fully revealed her inner excitement. She was happier than if she had obtained a treasure herself after helping Li Yuzhu secure the position of vice chairman. This is what people want.

Gu Yurou greatly admired Fang Lin's character and was willing to help her.

Fang Lin stood up and said, "You should rest; I should go back."

Gu Yurou escorted Fang Lin to the door, and the two said goodbye and saw each other tomorrow. Fang Lin then walked downstairs.

After dinner, Ruo Zhiwei took the dishes into the kitchen to wash them.

After finishing his work in the kitchen, he went to the living room, sat down on the sofa next to his wife, and said, "Brother-in-law, there's something I haven't discussed with your sister yet. Mei's Company in this city is about to go bankrupt. You must have heard about it, right? They owe the bank too much money, and the bank is pressing for repayment. I estimate that the bank will foreclose on the company in the next few days. I'm thinking of having Yuqiu buy the company. What do you think?"

If Zhiwei were a section chief in the Municipal Bureau of Industry, it would be normal for him to know about this.

Mei's Company is a large company in the city, and Dong Qing should know that, but he really didn't know that the company was about to go bankrupt.

Mei's is a company that started from scratch after China's reform and opening up. Today, it has four private enterprises under its umbrella, including aquaculture, a large food processing plant, a large shopping mall in the city center, and a large automobile manufacturing plant.

His bankruptcy stemmed from his car manufacturing plant. In those days, car sales were too small, and he had expanded too much. Last year, his cash flow began to dry up.

The reason for the broken capital chain is simple: the car manufacturing plant was built entirely on loans to buy land and equipment.

He wouldn't have gone bankrupt if it were just because of a car manufacturing plant. He's a loan maniac. Unlike Dong Qing's company, which he built himself up, he got his business through loans.

Once the cash flow is cut off and he can't get loans, he's finished. To put it bluntly, he doesn't have any real money. His money isn't his own; it's all borrowed from banks.

Dongqing has never dared to develop the automobile manufacturing industry and still produces tricycles.

It can only be said that Mei's company was like a newborn calf that was not afraid of tigers, daring to make the car manufacturing plant so big.

Mei's Company approached Yusheng Company for investment at the end of last year, but Dongqing was not optimistic about his company. The reason was simple: his company was just an empty shell. He probably couldn't even pay off his loans if he sold the entire company. That was the main reason why Dongqing was unwilling to invest in his company.

Dong Qing once intended to acquire this company, but Mei's Company was unwilling to sell, which ultimately led to its bankruptcy.

Dong Qing asked, "I really didn't know about this. What was the selling price?"

Ruo Zhiwei said, "When it comes to selling a company, before the bank conducts an auction, if the owner wants to sell the company himself, it's usually negotiated face-to-face, and there's no fixed price."

Dong Qing remained silent for a long time, then Ruo Zhiwei said, "Brother-in-law, should we arrange a meeting with the general manager of Mei's Company to discuss this?"

Dong Qing said, "We can't talk to him directly; let him find me. I believe that in this city, no one but me has the ability to acquire his company. I also believe that he won't wait for the bank to auction off his company, because he would suffer huge losses if he did. If I'm not mistaken, he will call me within three days. He will rush to the bank to take over his company before he can dispose of it."

These things really can't be rushed; the nature of him finding himself and him finding himself are completely different.

Li Yuqiu said, "Zhiwei, you really have a way with ideas. I just gave my brother 1 million yuan half a month ago. Do we have the money to acquire someone else's company?"

Dong Qing said, "Little sister, you should find something to do. A living person can't just let themselves be held back by their own needs. Your company's shares are worth tens of millions. What's a little 20 million in debt if you use them as collateral for a loan?"

A single sentence can be a wake-up call: In this day and age, isn't everyone doing business with loans? How many people actually use their savings to build a big business? Why can't I do it?

Li Yuqiu said, "It seems I still need to learn a thing or two from my brother-in-law. Okay, I'll leave this matter to him. I'll go to the bank to get a mortgage loan once we've agreed on a price."

Li Yuqiu may seem slow-paced, but once she gets down to business, she is incredibly efficient and capable, no less so than her sister.

On the contrary, her personality is useful for doing big business. Being too impatient is really not good. An impatient personality is most prone to impulsiveness, and impulsiveness is often the devil. It can make things happen, but it can also ruin things.

Dong Qing laughed at his sister-in-law's expression. Li Yuqiu asked, "Brother-in-law, what are you laughing at?"

Dong Qing laughed and said, "I was wondering why you don't oppose me like you did before dinner?"

After hearing her brother-in-law's words, Li Yuzhu laughed and said, "Brother-in-law, can't you be serious for once?"

There's a saying that a sister-in-law is half a wife to her brother-in-law. Of course, this is just a generalization, and it doesn't mean that all sisters-in-law have an ambiguous relationship with their brothers-in-law.

Generally, older sisters will love and care for their younger sisters. When the relationship between husband and wife is good, the brother-in-law will give in to his sister-in-law in many ways, and Dongqing is no exception.

The company held a senior board meeting at 9 a.m. the next day.

Li Yuzhu also attended the meeting because she is also a shareholder of the board of directors, and a major shareholder at that.

When the board of directors was established, Dong Qing specifically gave half of the shares to his wife. Although they were husband and wife, he absolutely had to keep things separate in this regard.

The couple together own 93% of the shares, with Li Yuzhu holding half, making him a major shareholder of the company.

At the meeting, Gu Yurou said, "I have a suggestion. Our company's business is growing, and I propose that we elect a vice chairman from among the company's shareholders. What are your thoughts?"

At this point, Dong Qing could only go along with it. He said, "Vice General Manager Gu's suggestion is excellent. Our company has more and more subsidiaries, and we do indeed need to elect a vice chairman. Does anyone have any objections to Vice General Manager Gu's proposal? If not, please raise your hands to vote."

Of the company's senior executives, three out of four are Dongqing's sisters, so the matter passed easily. As expected, everyone raised their hands, and it ultimately passed unanimously.
