Chapter 369 Showdown

"Daughter-in-law, why are you suddenly in such a hurry to open the new company? Is there a reason?"

Seeing Song Chi deep in thought and sighing, Cheng Shu couldn't help but ask him with a pained expression.

"Mom, it's like this..."

She recounted how she wanted to help Luo Tiantian pay off her debts.

Cheng Shu was very surprised to hear this.

"Daughter-in-law, you actually want to help Luo Tiantian pay off her debts? That's several million yuan in debt!"

You're just too kind-hearted. People will say you're foolish for doing this. You need to be a little selfish.

Otherwise, any friend in the future will come to you with a little trouble, and you won't be able to handle it all!

She felt extremely sorry for her and tried to persuade her with earnest words.

Song Chi smiled.

"Mom, I know you're saying this for my own good, but Tian Tian is an exception. She's helped me a lot in the past, and I'm helping her now out of genuine gratitude."

However, if other friends ask to borrow money, it depends on what kind of person they are. If they are of bad character, I won't lend them a single penny!

As she spoke, her expression became quite arrogant, which was rather cute!

"Pfft! You little rascal!"

Cheng Shu was amused by her.

In this world, everyone is selfish. Not to mention that friends will help each other when they have debts, even if spouses have debts, they will all go their separate ways when disaster strikes.

Others might laugh at her for being foolish, but Cheng Shu admired her sincerity.

She took a bank card out of her bag and gently placed it in her hand.

“Daughter-in-law, you are a woman of your own mind. From now on, whatever decisions you make, Mom will support you unconditionally. If you urgently need money, just use what’s in this card. If it’s not enough, just ask me for more!”

"mom……"

A warm feeling swept through Song Chi's heart, and he was deeply moved.

"Mom, thank you for your kindness, but you don't need it!"

She pushed the bank card to Cheng Shu.

"Daughter-in-law, we are family, don't be so formal with me!"

Cheng Shu was slightly angry when she saw that she was not accepting money.

"Besides, now you know that A-Yin is the president of the Mu Group. He has plenty of money. Why don't you just ask him for it? Don't make yourself work so hard!"

Song Chi shook his head.

"Mom, I'm not struggling. I still have money to spend right now. If I need anything in the future, I'll definitely ask you. You can take this money back now!"

As he spoke, he put the bank card back into her bag.

"Oh, you child..."

Cheng Shu was about to persuade her.

Song Chi quickly interjected, "Mom, let's choose this auspicious day. The opening ceremony the day after tomorrow will be in your hands. Thank you for your help!"

Cheng Shu was taken aback.

"Well……"

"Mom, the opening ceremony doesn't need to be extravagant. Keep it simple and low-key, and then..."

Next, Song Chi explained some of the work to be done after the new company opened. Cheng Shu listened attentively and took notes from time to time.

Seeing that she wasn't in a hurry to give him money, Song Chi knew he had successfully changed the subject and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Perhaps others will say that it is only natural to use the husband's family's money, and it would be foolish not to use it!

However, Song Chi believes that although she can use her husband's family's money, she should also have her own source of income!

Your in-laws may provide you with financial assistance once or twice, but if you live off them for a long time, you will only incur their disgust and contempt!

Although she knew her in-laws wouldn't dislike her.

However, you can't stop gossip from spreading, and idle chatter can also affect family harmony!

Therefore, Song Chi decided that she would focus on building her career and making money!

...

Over here, President Mu has been extremely busy ever since he entered the company.

He had just finished a meeting and had barely sat down in his executive chair when his new assistant, Xiao Zhang, called on the internal line, saying that Anlisen was there to discuss matters related to going abroad.

Mu Yin raised an eyebrow when he thought of Anlisen.

He ordered that the people be let in.

A moment later, there was a knock on the door.

He said coldly, "Go in."

The office door opened, and Anrison walked in.

After shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries, the two got straight to the point.

"Mr. Mu, I've chosen a time for our site visit; it'll be the day after tomorrow. Is that convenient for you?"

A mysterious smile appeared on Mu Yin's lips.

"certainly."

A glint flashed quickly in Anrison's eyes.

"Mr. Mu, I'm very pleased that we've reached this cooperation agreement. Next, let's discuss the details of this trip to the United States to inspect the project..."

"Mr. Anrison, please have a seat."

Anlisen nodded, sat down, and began discussing the details of the collaboration with Mu Yin.

The details are roughly as follows...

Their collaborative project was divided into two phases.

In the first stage, they need to visit the source factories and raw materials on-site.

The raw materials are rare and require a large amount of capital to purchase.

Anlisen generously claimed that he would contribute 80% of the funds as a show of sincerity, while Mu Yin would contribute 20%, which would be no problem for him!

However, in the second phase, Anlison stated that he didn't have enough funds to invest and needed to raise capital from many people...

So, these financiers could be partners found by Anlisen, or they could be partners found by Mu Yin.

He suggested that in the second phase, Mu Yin should contribute 80% of the funds, as this would demonstrate greater sincerity from both sides...

Throughout the conversation, Anlisen spoke the most, while Mu Yin listened calmly, occasionally offering his support.

The two of them seemed to be very polite to each other.

However, both of them had their own thoughts.

After the conversation ended, Anlison asked.

"Mr. Mu, do you have any other opinions?"

His eyes held a suppressed expectation.

Mu Yin raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Mr. Anrison, if you have no objections, then let's do as you say!"

"Very good!"

Anrison stood up, visibly agitated.

He extended his hand: "President Mu, I wish you a pleasant cooperation in advance!"

Mu Yin extended his hand: "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you!"

Anlisen chatted for a few more minutes before turning and leaving.

After a while, Mu Yin came to the floor-to-ceiling window. Standing on the high-rise building, he could clearly see Anlisen's figure as he walked out of the Mu Corporation building.

He walked downstairs, paused, and looked around.

Seemingly realizing that no one was paying attention to him, he made a phone call.

No one knew who was on the other end of the phone, but Anlisen was surprisingly respectful, speaking very cautiously.

Upon seeing this, Mu Yin looked on with great interest.

"Tsk, interesting. For a famous investor like Anlison to speak to him so humbly, that person must be someone important..."

"Ha, what's even more interesting is that they actually set a trap, trying to get me to invest a large sum in the second stage. What, are they trying to withdraw their investment halfway through, causing my working capital to be tied up? This old trick?"

Mu Yin scoffed.

He's seen it all in the business world; he's seen all sorts of schemes and tricks. He knew exactly what they'd do next with such petty tricks!

Therefore, he deliberately cooperated with Anlison, remained inactive, quietly watched them cause trouble, and then unexpectedly caught them in the act!

He wanted to see who was the one who had been causing trouble behind the scenes all along!

...

This way

After leaving the Mu family, Anlisen called the 'boss'.

The call was answered quickly.

"Boss, I've talked to Mu Yin and we're going to the US the day after tomorrow. He's agreed to all the project details. Tsk, everyone says he's cunning, but I don't think he's all that shrewd!"

On the other end of the phone.

In the president's office of the media building, Mu Nianbai stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the entire earth.

He gave a cold laugh.

"Don't be too happy yet. Mu Yin might have already seen through the trick and was just going along with it!"

Anlisen was slightly surprised upon hearing this.

"Boss, he found out? What do we do?"

"Heh, proceed according to plan, but in the end, I'll give him a shocking reversal that he'll never expect..."

Anlisen had no idea what kind of dramatic reversal his boss would pull, but he remembered that with his intelligence and ruthlessness, he could make Mu Yin's life difficult!

"By the way, Mrs. Mu's new company should be opening soon. Go and prepare a big surprise for her!"

"Yes, boss!"

...

Mu Yin stood in front of the French windows for a while, and only after seeing An Lisen leave did he turn to leave. Suddenly, his phone rang.

It was one of his people who called him.

"President Mu, those people who littered at the Mu Group's main gate last time, and those who deliberately stirred up trouble at the press conference, have finally been persuaded to reveal their secrets through a combination of persuasion and pressure..."
