Fearing that the project would be delayed, He Lingchuan spent the entire afternoon looking for a reliable loan institution.
He went to more than a dozen places, and the interest rates were all ridiculously high.
He sighed and sat in the coffee shop, sifting through reliable agencies.
After selecting two, Shen Yanxi called.
As if she had a tracking device on herself, her cold voice came through the receiver, tinged with reproach: "He Lingchuan, are you crazy? You actually borrowed money from loan sharks?"
He Lingchuan froze. Just as he was about to explain, he heard the sound of high heels behind him.
He turned around and saw Shen Yanxi walking towards him with a fierce and angry expression: "He Lingchuan, weren't you doing well after leaving me? Wasn't Cao Xue very supportive of you? How did you end up borrowing money from loan sharks?"
"It has nothing to do with you."
He Lingchuan put away his coffee cup and was about to leave when Shen Yanxi grabbed his wrist: "You really don't want to see me?"
He Lingchuan slightly raised his eyes and glanced at Shen Yanxi: "I have a question."
Shen Yanxi tilted her head and raised her chin, signaling him to speak.
He Lingchuan stared at the expression on Shen Yanxi's face, a half-smile on his face: "How did you know I was here?"
After a moment of silence, Shen Yanxi casually made up an excuse: "I heard it from someone else."
"Who? Gu Chengze wouldn't tell you these things."
But apart from Gu Chengze, no one else knew that he was borrowing money.
Shen Yanxi frowned, hesitating to speak. He Lingchuan actually knew all along how she ended up here. He did it on purpose, knowing that Shen Yanxi would never tell the truth.
He sneered and mercilessly exposed Shen Yanxi: "Shen Yanxi, you've been having people follow me, haven't you?"
Shen Yanxi looked up abruptly, trying to explain, "Don't misunderstand, I just want to know what you're doing."
"You mean you care about me?"
He Lingchuan sneered at her, "My affairs are none of your business."
Shen Yanxi stepped forward anxiously: "Aren't you afraid you won't be able to pay back the money?"
She asked He Lingchuan anxiously, her eyes full of helplessness, "He Lingchuan, if you need money, I can lend it to you."
Worried that He Lingchuan would refuse, Shen Yanxi quickly changed her mind: "I can even give it to you, but high-interest loans are too risky, what if you fail..."
"I will not fail."
He Lingchuan's eyes were firm. He placed his hands on the table and leaned his body towards Shen Yanxi: "If I dare to borrow, I will pay it back."
He Lingchuan has gradually calmed down and has thought of another method, but he does not intend to tell Shen Yanxi.
Let her think she's taking out a loan at exorbitant interest rates; He Lingchuan was too lazy to explain further.
He looked up at Shen Yanxi, his expression cold: "Go back. If Zhou Mingyan sees this, you won't be able to explain yourself."
"Lingchuan..."
Shen Yanxi watched He Lingchuan's departing figure and anxiously chased after him: "Even if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about the children. Have you thought about what the media will write if you don't repay the money? Have you thought about what kind of impact it will have on the children if the truth comes out?"
He Lingchuan paused in his steps, then turned back with a cold smile: "You always like to use the children to intimidate me."
He looked Shen Yanxi up and down and said, "I didn't want to use your money because I was thinking about the children."
Shen Yanxi is the kind of person who will stop at nothing to achieve her goals. If he really takes Shen Yanxi's money, she will definitely tell everyone if she is unhappy. In that case, he will really become a man who uses a woman to get ahead.
At that point, he won't even respect himself, let alone the children.
...
After leaving the coffee shop, He Lingchuan went to the regulatory bureau.
He was worried that Brother Li would forcibly shut down the lab, so he waited in the lobby for almost an hour before Brother Li finally appeared.
He Lingchuan got up to greet him, but saw him walking out with Zhang Ying.
He turned to leave, but Zhang Ying called out to him first: "Isn't this Mr. He? What brings you to the regulatory bureau today?"
He Lingchuan looked at him with a sullen face and some annoyance: "What's it to you?"
"Look at you, why are you so aggressive?"
Zhang Ying glanced at the person next to him and deliberately asked, "Brother Li, is Mr. He here to see you?"
Brother Li smiled and nodded, waving to the people around him, signaling them to leave.
Soon, only the three of them remained in the huge hall.
Zhang Ying sat down next to Brother Li without any intention of leaving.
He Lingchuan stared at him for a long time, and seeing that Brother Li didn't chase him away, he suddenly realized.
He sat down in front of Brother Li and said, "I've come to discuss closing the laboratory with you."
Brother Li placed his hands together on the table and raised his chin, gesturing for He Lingchuan to continue.
He Lingchuan glanced at Zhang Ying and didn't mince words: "I was recently subjected to enforcement by the bank, and they won't give me a loan. I think you should know why."
He Lingchuan's gaze fell on Zhang Ying. Brother Li followed his gaze and looked over, somewhat surprised: "Are you trying to tell me that Zhang Ying did this?"
He Lingchuan observed his expression; he looked very surprised, as if he didn't know who had done this.
Now it was He Lingchuan's turn to be puzzled. Weren't they on the same path? How come Brother Li seemed to know nothing?
He Lingchuan tilted his head and looked at the person in front of him, asking in confusion, "Do you really not know? Or are you just acting with me?"
Brother Li spread his hands, smiling as he looked at him: "Do you think I need to act with you?"
His arrogance was palpable, and he completely disregarded He Lingchuan.
He Lingchuan smiled in agreement: "Since you don't know, then you can do me a favor and talk to someone on my behalf, so that they won't stop me from getting the loan."
Hearing his words, Brother Li looked troubled: "How am I supposed to explain this?"
Brother Li turned to look at Zhang Ying and said, "Mr. Zhang, how about you do me a favor?"
Zhang Ying has been a manager for so many years, he's quite adept at playing dumb.
He smiled wryly and said, "Brother Li, you really think too highly of me. If I really had that ability, the bank would be my family's property."
Brother Li smiled but didn't say anything, but his eyes held a hint of doubt as he looked at Zhang Ying.
He originally thought he could get some money from He Lingchuan through this incident, but Zhang Ying interfered and prevented the bank from lending money. The little money Zhang Ying gave him wasn't even enough to buy his eyes. In this way, he was essentially doing Zhang Ying's work for free.
Brother Li felt uneasy, as if he had been taken advantage of.
He tapped his fingers on the table to reassure He Lingchuan: "Mr. He, don't worry, I will definitely help you with the loan, but I can't guarantee whether it will be successful."
If Brother Li wants the five million from He Lingchuan, I will naturally help him.
Understanding his meaning, He Lingchuan smiled knowingly: "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Li. I'll be waiting for your good news."
