Chapter 215: He's Not Good Enough for Her
Xu Rongyu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, hands on her hips, and made a phone call in a deep voice for more than half an hour.
After it was over, their expressions became much more serious.
Xu Yihuan was playing a game on her iPad. When she saw Xu Rongyu hang up the phone, she deliberately waited a few seconds before casually asking, "Dad? What's wrong?"
Xu Rongyu didn't think much of it: "It's nothing, a partner in the project has run into some problems."
"You do your thing."
Xu Rongyu had no intention of letting Xu Yihuan get involved in these matters.
His daughter, of course, can do whatever she wants.
Seeing that she hadn't gotten anything out of him, Xu Yihuan could only give a listless reply.
Xu Yihuan stayed in the office until evening.
Seeing that it was getting dark outside, Xu Rongyu put down her work and looked tenderly at her daughter.
Xu Yihuan lay sprawled on the sofa, showing no sign of restraint whatsoever, but this was her most relaxed posture.
"Huanhuan, are you hungry? Would you like your assistant to take you to get something to eat?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Yihuan sat up straight.
"No need, I can go by myself. You guys go ahead with your work."
Xu Rongyu didn't insist, just told him to be careful and then saw him downstairs.
Looking at Xu Yihuan's retreating figure, Xu Rongyu's eyes were filled with unconcealed worry.
He was unaware of Xu Yihuan and Tan Zhixu's breakup; he only knew from today's events.
He did not support Xu Yihuan and Tan Zhixu being together.
The Tan family is in such a mess that if Xu Yihuan were to be with Tan Zhixu, she would likely face many dangers.
Xu Rong sighed silently.
Xu Yihuan walked out of the company and casually found a noodle shop to eat at.
The noodle shop is located in an alley, with a strong local atmosphere, and most of its customers are locals from Beijing.
Xu Yihuan found a corner to sit down, and the sound of conversation kept reaching her ears.
"Hey, did you guys hear? Tan's stock has turned green."
"No way, I just bought one two days ago, am I going to lose money?"
"I advise you to sell quickly. The Tan family's assets are probably going to turn green..." someone said meaningfully.
"Really? Isn't the Tan family always very stable?"
"..."
As Xu Yihuan listened, her thoughts were unconsciously drawn along.
Yes, the news of Mr. Tan's passing is still being kept confidential for the time being.
But this matter will be announced sooner or later, and it will inevitably cause a major upheaval in the stock market.
As Xu Yihuan pondered this, she put a mouthful of noodles in her mouth, nearly burning her tongue.
Then another voice came from behind.
"To tell you the truth, my great-uncle's cousin's granddaughter's classmate works for the Tan family. She said that things are about to change drastically at the Tan family, and she's already planning to quit and find another job..."
"The throne of the Tan family is about to be occupied by a new emperor."
"No wonder I heard a rumor today that many of the senior executives at the Tan Group have switched jobs!"
Xu Yihuan pursed her lips; the once fragrant noodles suddenly seemed to have lost their flavor.
Meanwhile, not far from here, inside the Tan Group building...
Tan Zhixu and Assistant Liang stood facing each other, Tan Zhixu sitting and Assistant Liang standing.
Tan Zhixu's face was expressionless, his gaze as cold as a stagnant pool.
"Tell me what's going on right now."
Assistant Liang delivered the report in an orderly manner.
After Old Master Tan passed away, the Tan family underwent a major upheaval on that very day.
Some left, some stayed, and those who chose sides chose sides.
Those who remained by Tan Zhixu's side were only two or three capable people who had been promoted by Old Master Tan.
However, these two or three individuals cannot affect the overall operation of the Tan family business.
Assistant Liang gave Tan Zhixu a brief explanation of the situation.
They have a total of four projects, one of which is in the new district, but it hasn't started yet. The old man originally planned to leave it to Tan Zhixu to do, but now many people are vying for it, and they can't handle the project with the funds they have.
If the company were to take the initiative, the board of directors would never approve the plan, because they each have their own allies.
The other two long cycles have slow capital recovery, and the other one is stuck at the very end, where goods cannot be delivered and funds cannot be recovered, and there is even the risk that the previous work will be wasted.
Tan Zhixu held a cigarette between his fingers, biting it in his mouth, and reached for the contract proposal to continue reading.
Her phoenix eyes now held no allure whatsoever, only icy coldness.
This new district project was something the old man had been working on to help him with before his death, and he would never give it up so easily.
"What about loans?" Tan Zhixu looked up at Assistant Liang.
Assistant Liang paused for a moment, then replied with a wry smile, "We've contacted them, but no bank is willing to lend us money."
Firstly, the risk was too great; if they couldn't recover the money, it would be a losing proposition. Tan Zhixu and his men simply couldn't afford such a large-scale loss, and the bank wouldn't lend money until they could find someone to guarantee it for them.
Secondly, there are people blocking the lending, and they are unwilling to let people lend money. The reason for this is naturally internal conflict.
Tan Zhixu frowned and stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray: "Could you arrange for me to have dinner with Mr. Lin from Shengfeng Bank the night after tomorrow?"
If I remember correctly, the old man had a good relationship with the owner of Shengfeng Bank. When Shengfeng Bank was in financial crisis, it was the old man who injected capital and saved it.
In the entire capital city, the only bank that could get involved in their affairs was Shengfeng Bank.
Assistant Liang nodded: "Yes, Mr. Tan."
Tan Zhixu nodded and raised his wrist to check the time.
He stood up to leave, but was stopped by Assistant Liang.
"Mr. Tan, there's one more thing."
Tan Zhixu looked at him, gesturing for him to speak.
“Our final project was due for delivery in a week, but after we paid the final payment, Changxing Group has been holding onto the goods and hasn’t delivered them to us.”
"Changxing?"
"How long has it been held?"
Two days.
Wasn't that after Grandpa Tan passed away?
Tan Zhixu's expression darkened. Changxing wasn't a big factory, but the quality of its goods and the reputation of the Changxing Group were quite good.
How could this problem occur?
"Check what the cause is."
"good."
Tan Zhixu nodded wearily: "Alright, let's call it a day. Remember to come to the old man's memorial service tomorrow."
After saying that, Tan Zhixu strode away.
While waiting for the elevator, I ran into a young couple in their early twenties working in the office.
His vibrant appearance made Tan Zhixu feel that although he was only nineteen years old, he already had the body of a ninety-year-old.
Tan Zhixu sighed, took out his phone, turned on the screen saver, and glanced at the picture on it. It was still a photo of him and Xu Yihuan kissing.
Tan Zhixu's lips unconsciously curled up.
I reached out and touched the face on the screen.
A scene filled with tender affection.
"Is this Mr. Tan's girlfriend?"
Tan Zhixu is the grandson of Old Master Tan; that's what everyone in the company calls him.
Tan Zhixu subconsciously raised his head and met the girl's amazed gaze. He smiled and said, "Mm."
"Wow, so beautiful, she and President Tan are a perfect match."
"Thank you." Tan Zhixu looked down at the screen again, then turned it off.
He is no longer good enough for her.
