Chapter 340 Details
I nodded, still feeling a little uneasy: "I always feel that he has other plans behind the scenes. He brought a woman here today, and that woman looked strange."
Jiang Yichen's eyes turned serious: "Have you checked her?"
"Not yet. I plan to start checking tomorrow." I rubbed my temples and had a severe headache.
Jiang Yichen's voice softened all of a sudden: "Don't tire yourself out. Make sure you get some rest."
I smiled, feeling warm inside: "You too, how's the situation over there?"
Jiang Yichen paused and whispered, "I'm not very optimistic. The virus is worse than we thought. Many places have been closed."
My heart tightened, and my hand unconsciously clenched the phone: "Then you must be careful and come back early."
Jiang Yichen nodded, his eyes went straight through the screen, as if he could see into my heart: "I will. When I get back, we will deal with this matter with Mr. Li together."
The next morning, as I was getting ready to go to the company, Xu Sisi called me: "Sister Gu, Mr. Li suddenly said he wanted to come to the company today. Xiao Tiantian and I are trying to hold him back outside, but I don't think it will last long."
My heart skipped a beat and I quickly asked, "Where are you?"
"We're in the coffee shop. Mr. Li insisted on talking to us about the project." Xu Sisi's voice was filled with anxiety. "You should think of a solution quickly. We can't stand it any longer."
I quickly calmed myself down and said, "Take as much time as possible. I'll be there soon."
After hanging up the phone, I immediately sent a message to Jiang Yichen: "Mr. Li suddenly has to come to the company today. Xu Sisi and Xiao Tiantian are trying to stop him outside. I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on for long."
Jiang Yichen replied: "Don't panic, go back to the company and prepare first, I will send someone to help you right away."
I responded, feeling a little relieved. After arriving at the coffee shop, I quickly sorted out the information and prepared to deal with Mr. Li's sudden visit.
Over here, in the coffee shop, Xu Sisi and Xiao Tiantian sat opposite Mr. Li, pretending to remain calm.
"Mr. Li, we're not really clear about the project. Why don't you wait until Miss Gu comes to talk about it?" Xu Sisi smiled and tried to make her tone as light-hearted as possible.
Mr. Li narrowed his eyes, his tone showing impatience: "Aren't you all from the project team? How can you not know anything?"
Xiao Tiantian quickly followed up: "Boss Li, we are here to do the work, and the specific decision still needs to be made by Sister Gu."
Mr. Li sneered and tapped his fingers on the table: "Are you guys trying to fool me?"
Xu Sisi's heart tightened, but she still smiled: "Mr. Li, please don't misunderstand. We just think that it's better to wait until Sister Gu comes to discuss such a big matter."
Mr. Li looked them both up and down, then suddenly stood up and said, "Since you don't want to talk, I'll go directly to the company to find Sister Gu."
Xu Sisi and Xiao Tiantian looked at each other and thought to themselves that something was wrong. Just then, the door of the coffee shop opened and I walked in with a few colleagues.
"Mr. Li, what a coincidence, you are here too?" I walked over with a smile, trying to make my tone more natural.
When Mr. Li saw me, his eyes changed, but soon returned to normal: "Sister Gu, I was just planning to look for you."
I nodded, motioned for Xu Sisi and Xiao Tiantian to leave first, and then said to Mr. Li, "Then let's find a quieter place to talk?"
Mr. Li and I sat in the corner of the coffee shop, my heart was beating fast, thinking about how to deal with his sudden visit. His eyes were still so sharp, as if he could see through people.
"Ms. Gu, I came here today just to talk to you about the issue of fund allocation." As soon as Mr. Li opened his mouth, his tone was overwhelming.
I took a deep breath and steadied my voice: "Mr. Li, the project is at a critical juncture right now, so we need to be careful with the funds. If we divide it now, I'm afraid the future progress will be affected."
He smiled coldly, his eyes full of disdain, and his fingers tapped on the table: "You promised before that there would be a clear plan for the allocation of funds at this stage. Now you are making excuses, how can we trust you?"
Although I was very reluctant in my heart, I had to keep smiling: "Mr. Li, the market is changing too fast. We have no choice but to adjust our strategy according to the actual situation. I promise that once the project has phased results, we will immediately distribute the funds according to the agreement."
Suddenly, his eyes turned fierce and his tone was threatening: "Ms. Gu, you'd better know that we investors are not easy to deal with. If you keep dragging it out like this, don't blame us for being rude."
But the factory has just been restored, how could it produce so quickly? If it wasn’t urgent at the time, I can still give it now if I grit my teeth.
However, we must not let him get away with it.
I was thinking in my mind, knowing that he was serious. But I couldn't be afraid at this time. I looked him straight in the eye and said firmly, "Mr. Li, we have always been honest and will definitely not let investors down. Please give us some more time."
Mr. Li was silent for a while, then suddenly stood up and said, "Okay, I'll give you another week. If you still can't come up with a clear plan by then, don't blame me for getting angry."
After saying that, he turned and left. I breathed a sigh of relief and slumped back in the chair, my clothes soaked with sweat on my back.
When I got back to the company, I immediately gathered all the team members and worked out a plan to deal with Mr. Li. Jiang Yichen also received a message: "What's the situation?"
I replied to him: "We have stabilized him for now, but time is running out."
Jiang Yichen sent a voice message with a firm tone: "Don't worry, Lin Nan has already dealt with the company's affairs and is here to help you."
"Watch yourself."
Lin Nan's arrival was like a breeze, breaking the tension between me and Mr. Li in the coffee shop.
She was wearing a smart black suit, carrying a briefcase, and her eyes were sharp and confident. As soon as she entered the door, she went straight to the point: "Gu Mo, I have heard about the situation with Mr. Li. Does he want double interest?"
I nodded and handed her the document in my hand: "This is a formal notice from him, requiring us to pay double interest within three days, otherwise he will initiate legal proceedings."
Lin Nan took the document, glanced through it quickly, and sneered: "He knows how to pick the right time. However, he probably didn't expect that we have something on him."
I raised my eyebrows, secretly admiring Lin Nan's sharpness: "What did you find out?"
Lin Nan took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to me: "This is the flow of Mr. Li's funds in recent months. I found that he transferred funds through multiple shell companies and was suspected of money laundering. Moreover, I also found out the details of the woman behind him."
