Chapter 118 This Cao Jinyan is such a bastard (Please read on)

Because of the deliberate targeting instructed by Cao Jinyan, the Bai Group was isolated and helpless in just a few days.

These past few days, Bai Ruoxi had trouble eating or sleeping, and had lost a lot of weight visibly.

However, faced with this situation, she was helpless and could only watch as partners terminated their contracts one after another, and those who had agreed to cooperate with them ran away one after another, and even the top executives of the group jumped ship.

There were constant rumors within the Bai Group, and the employees below were discussing whether the company was going to go bankrupt, because they were usually very busy and had a lot of business to deal with.

But now, the partners have breached the contract and the business is gone. There is no work for them to do even if they want to. They can only sit at their jobs and discuss whether the company is about to go bankrupt.

Watching the company gradually going to the brink of bankruptcy, but being powerless to do anything, this feeling tortured Bai Ruoxi so much that she lost a lot of hair and got dark circles under her eyes.

That's fine.

The most outrageous thing is that Cao Jinyan, the culprit who caused all this, would call her from time to time, adding insult to injury and gradually affecting her mentality.

This caused Bai Ruoxi to collapse even more.

Cao Jinyan is very familiar with heroines like Bai Ruoxi, and he knows very well how to touch her heart.

In urban cool novels, the heroine like Bai Ruoxi cares most not about being the son of luck or her family, but her career. What's more, the Bai Group grew strong under her leadership.

When Bai Ruoxi's parents first handed the company to her, the Bai family was not even among the top 20 in Gusu, but now it has the momentum to become the number one family in Gusu.

This is all thanks to Bai Ruoxi.

To her, the Bai Group is more important than anything else.

"Boss Bai, you don't want the company you worked so hard to run to go bankrupt, right?"

"I heard that Bai's Cosmetics is a century-old brand. It's a pity, but it doesn't matter. When you can't hold on anymore, when Bai's goes bankrupt, I will be kind enough to buy Bai's. I will never let Bai's Cosmetics, a century-old brand, die. I have to think about what to do with this brand after the acquisition. How about making chili sauce? I think it's a good idea."

Cao Jinyan tortured Bai Ruoxi over and over again.

Hey!

A century-old cosmetics brand was acquired by a company that does not make cosmetics but instead makes chili sauce, which is completely unrelated to the brand.

It is simply the greatest insult.

"Boss Cao, I will not sell the company. Just give up on this idea."

The Bai Group is her life.

"This is not up to you. After all, the Bai Group is so big, with so many employees. They have to eat and support their families. But does the Bai Group still have money? How much cash flow is left? Can the employees' salaries be paid this month?"

Every question was like a huge hammer, hitting Bai Ruoxi's chest hard and mercilessly.

The Bai family... has no money left.

Previously, the cash flow that supported the research and development of new products was cut off, but after Cao Jinyan's deliberate targeting, Bai's company now has no money in its account, and the company cannot pay its employees this month.

It's just that she kept it a secret and the employees below didn't know about it.

But Bai Ruoxi also knew that this matter could not be kept secret for long. When it came time to pay salaries at the end of the month, there would be no money deposited into the employees' salary cards, and everything would be exposed.

It can be said that every word Cao Jinyan said accurately hit Bai Ruoxi's softest spot, causing her to mentally collapse.

In addition to targeting the Bai Group, Cao Jinyan has also been using Tang Ye to provoke Bai Ruoxi.

"Boss Bai, I heard that you are married. What kind of business does your husband do?"

"No way, no way, your husband is not an office worker who doesn't do any business, right? The money he earns in a month is not as much as you lose in a day."

"What? Is this true? Your husband is actually a son-in-law? Oh my God!"

"I didn't expect Boss Bai to like this one, stinking! Boss Bai, you are such a strong woman, how could you marry a loser! I heard from others that your son-in-law husband wears an apron at home every day and either cooks or cleans the toilet and mops the floor. Isn't this a nanny's job? Why is your husband competing with the nanny for the job? What has the nanny done to offend anyone? It's so difficult to find a job these days. Your husband is really shameless even for the nanny's job."

"Boss Bai, what is your son-in-law doing recently? Is he free? If he is really bored, I don't mind being kind enough to introduce him to a job. Don't worry, given our friendship, it won't be a bad job. It will be well-paid and will be out of the reach of the wind and rain. Let your husband be a male PR. You may not know what a male PR is. It was previously called a gigolo."

"It's so good to be a gigolo. You can earn a lot of money and you don't feel tired. If you feel tired, it's only for a short while. We all earn money based on our own abilities. You can't discriminate against people of different occupations."

When it comes to being inhumane, Cao Jinyan is second to none and no one dares to claim to be first.

Looking at the crash value that kept refreshing in the system background, Cao Jinyan was overjoyed, and his words became more and more pleasant.

"Cao Jinyan, I hope you can respect my...husband." Bai Ruoxi's voice was cold.

"husband?"

"Is he really your husband?"

"You two haven't consummated your marriage yet! How can he have the nerve to call himself your husband when he can't even get into your bed?"

"You...how do you know?" Bai Ruoxi was shocked.

How could Cao Jinyan know about such things?

She had never told anyone about it, not even her closest friends.

Except for my family, they won’t tell anyone else.

Why did Cao Jinyan know this?

There is no need for anyone to tell you, because in the urban cool novels about a son-in-law, the son-in-law will never touch the heroine, not even her hand.

He has such a beautiful wife, but he only looks at her and never touches her. I don’t know how this lucky guy can hold back and how he solves the problem at night.

I’ll ask Tang Ye when I get a chance.

He has the most say in this regard.

"It seems that I guessed right. Your useless husband has never touched you. Since you are still the original product, I will mercifully make concessions. I agree to change the 50-50 split to 30-70 split in the contract, 70% for you and 30% for me."

People like compromise the most.

When discussing cooperation, you first put forward a condition that the other party will never accept no matter what, and then slowly relax the conditions to create a gap, and then the other party will accept it.

Not only will she accept it, she will also thank you!

30:70? Bai Ruoxi fell into deep thought.

There is no way she would agree to a 50-50 split, but if it was changed to 30-70, she might consider it. At least it would be much better than the original 50-50 split.

And...I really...

Pooh!

Bai Ruoxi, what are you thinking about? 30-70 is not okay, isn't it? Is it a question of 50-50 or 30-70? This is because Cao Jinyan, that lecher, made an extra request that was too much.

Not to mention the issue of profit sharing, just talking about Cao Jinyan's extra request, there was no way she would agree to it.

And this bastard actually said that he was the original product. Does he think of himself as a commodity?

The more Bai Ruoxi thought about it, the more annoyed and angry she became.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Bai Ruoxi was stunned. Who would knock on her door at this time? Could it be Tang Ye again?

Bai Ruoxi's face turned unhappy when she thought of Tang Ye. She walked over with a gloomy face and opened the door of the room, but when she saw the person standing outside the door, her gloomy face changed instantly, and the speed was comparable to Sichuan Opera face-changing.

"Ranran, why are you here?" Bai Ruoxi looked at her sister outside the door in astonishment, who was holding a lollipop in her mouth.

On weekdays, Bai Ruoran never came to her bedroom, let alone knock on the door at night.

Bai Ruoran blinked her big eyes and got straight to the point: "Sister, is the company's situation really that bad?"

Looking at her sister who was getting thinner and thinner, the feeling of uneasiness became stronger and stronger. She was not stupid, nor was she a naive little girl who knew nothing.

Having grown up in a wealthy family, although I have never been involved in my family's business, I have heard of many reports of large groups going bankrupt. Such things are not new in the aristocratic circle.

She wasn't worried at first.

Although Bai Ruoran hated her sister for controlling everything about her, and even forbidding her to date when she was in college, what good person wouldn't date in college? Especially after her three roommates in the dormitory all found their partners, the grievance and resentment in her heart reached its peak, and from then on, she took more and more actions against Bai Ruoxi.

But now, she still came.

Bai Ruoxi's behavior has been very strange these past few days. The trouble that could leave her usually strong sister helpless must be no small trouble.

These past few days, Bai Ruoran hasn't talked back to her sister and has been much more obedient.

However, Bai Ruoxi, whose whole mind was on the company, did not notice it.

"I can handle it, don't worry."

She had no intention of telling her family about the company's situation, as telling them would only make them worry and would not lead to any substantive solution.

"Sister, you can't lie to me. You know that. I know you." Bai Ruoran, who had been observing her sister, sighed. Her face was covered with a mask of pain. She pursed her lips and said, "Is our family going to go bankrupt?"

This was the worst outcome she could have imagined.

"No." Bai Ruoxi's expression changed, but soon changed back.

"Sister, you are still lying to me."

"No... maybe!"

Bai Ruoxi wanted to say "no", but seeing her sister's eyes eager to know the truth, she swallowed the words back.

never mind.

There would be no result if we concealed it any further.

This month is about to end and it will soon be the end of the month. It will be the day to get employees' salaries. There are tens of thousands of employees in the Bai Group. If the salaries cannot be paid, she dare not imagine what will happen.

That's not something she can control.

The current problem for the Bai Group is no longer whether it can continue to develop new products. Under Cao Jinyan's deliberate targeting, it is even a question whether the Bai Group can survive.

The company is really going to go bankrupt. What happened? Why is a good company going to go bankrupt... Bai Ruoran bit the lollipop in her mouth and said, "Sister, what happened? Just tell me. Don't worry, I won't tell mom."

When the guess became reality, Bai Ruoran panicked instantly, and even the tone of her voice changed.

She was just a rich girl who was well protected by her sister and had never encountered any setbacks. Perhaps the biggest setback she encountered was that her living expenses were cut in half. That month, she only had 50,000 living expenses, which was very pitiful.

Apart from that, she has always lived happily under the protection of Bai Ruoxi.

And now.

What she heard was about to happen to her. How could Bai Ruoran, who had never experienced any hardships, remain calm?

She walked into Bai Ruoxi's room, sat on Bai Ruoxi's bed, looked at Bai Ruoxi, and said seriously: "Sister, you have done enough for this family. I have grown up and can take on everything for you."

"If you still regard me as your sister, just tell me. I may not be able to help you, but you will feel better if you tell me."

Will it feel good? Bai Ruoxi didn't know, but she really couldn't hold on any longer.

The company was in danger, the employees were talking about it, and Cao Jinyan's constant words that upset her mentality made her unable to sleep at night and even made her want to cry.

She also wanted to find someone to rely on and talk to, but when she looked around, there was no one.

That loser Tang cannot be relied upon. Other women can talk to their husbands and rely on them when they are wronged, but she can't do that. She can't rely on Tang Ye. It's good enough that Tang Ye doesn't complain to her when he is wronged.

She also didn't want to make her mother and sister worry, so Bai Ruoxi had to bear it all by herself without telling anyone. When she couldn't bear it any longer, she hid in her room and cried silently when it was late at night. She didn't dare cry too loudly for fear that others would hear her.

All the pressure was on her.

But... she is just a little girl in her twenties! Other girls her age sometimes have to ask their parents for permission if they don't go home at night!

At this moment, looking at her sister's worried and caring eyes, Bai Ruoxi's tense heart loosened, and the weakness in her heart was growing, blooming and bearing fruit wildly.

She is too tired.

I really need someone to comfort and rely on.

The next second, Bai Ruoxi couldn't hold it back any longer and burst into tears, but her voice was still very soft and bitter, and she cried loudly in unwillingness.

This scene made Bai Ruoran dumbfounded.

My sister actually cried.

When will the strong sister start to cry?

She hadn't seen her sister cry for many years, or even shed tears. It seemed that she had changed since her sister took over the company.

At the same time, she also realized that the problems the company was facing were really big, and her sister was under a lot of pressure, so much that it was beyond her imagination.

"Sister, I'm here. I'm always here."

Bai Ruoran walked over, tiptoed and hugged her sister: "Let go of your anger, tell me all the grievances you have, I'm listening."

Bai Ruoxi's tears seemed to rise up, and she cried for most of the day, while crying and telling her sister.

Bai Ruoran was trying to comfort her sister at first, but slowly, her expression changed and she became more and more angry.

"This Cao Jinyan is such a bastard."

"Sister, you can't promise him. You must not promise him."

Bai Ruoran's face was as cold as ice, and her eyes were filled with anger.
