Chapter 330 An Accident Happened
He didn't get home until three in the morning today, and his suit was still stained with the salty sea breeze, which he got when he went to Qingdao to deal with the legacy issues of the Fan Group.
There was a sound of the glass door opening and closing in the bathroom, and Jiang Yichen came out, wiping his wet hair. Water drops slid down his tight chest muscles into his pajamas. He glanced at my stiff sitting posture, and his brows immediately twisted into a "川" shape: "Does the wound hurt again?" Before I could answer, he had already knelt on one knee in front of the sofa, and his warm palm was placed on my lower back.
His technique was terrifyingly precise. He used his fingertips to circle the nodules on both sides of the lumbar spine, using just the right amount of force to dispel the soreness and swelling.
I groaned and simply fell into his arms. The scent of cedar mixed with sea salt surrounded me, and the light pink scar under his left collarbone poked my forehead - it was the medal he left when he blocked the knife for me last year.
"Jiang Yichen, the company is about to start up..." I suddenly said, my voice muffled, "But, won't we be getting busier and busier in the future?"
He paused, then suddenly lifted me up by my knees.
I screamed and hugged his neck, and he put me on the desk piled with reports.
He placed his hands on either side of me, water dripping down my hair onto my collarbone. “Ever since you sneaked away to discuss cooperation when you were seven months pregnant, I knew I couldn’t stop you.” His fingertips traced the shallow scar on my collarbone, a medal left by heavy bleeding during a caesarean section. “But you have to promise me that you won’t risk your life.”
I grabbed his collar and bit his chin, tasting the minty flavor of shaving water: "Boss Jiang, are you going to invest money in me?"
He chuckled, suddenly picked me up and walked towards the bedroom: "You can invest money, but pay the interest first."
We rolled onto the big bed covered with silk bedding. His kiss was punishing, but suddenly became gentle when it touched the scar on my abdomen.
The moonlight shone through the gauze curtains onto his back, and the old and new scars glowed in the silver halo. When he kissed me, I suddenly remembered that he used to be so desperate and ruthless.
"Momo," he said, his forehead against mine, his voice hoarse.
'"What's the matter?", digging her nails into his tight clothes.
We were like two entangled redwoods, holding onto each other's roots in a storm. When the kiss reached its climax, he whispered in my ear: "Ask Lin Nan to bring the investment agreement over tomorrow."
At four o'clock in the morning, I was sitting on the bay window wrapped in Jiang Yichen's shirt.
Outside the French window, the neon lights were still bright. My phone screen was lit with an unread message from Fan Shuiguang. I clicked on the factory floor plan he sent me and suddenly found that an area marked "Raw Material Warehouse" overlapped with the coordinates of the chemical company that Jiang Yichen acquired last month.
"What are you thinking about?" Jiang Yichen stood behind me without me noticing, and put a cashmere shawl on my shoulders. I looked up at him, the moonlight casting a shadow on his eyelashes: "You already knew Fan Shuiguang's plan?"
He lowered his eyes and chuckled, his fingertips brushing the hair on the back of my neck: "Last month in Qingdao, I asked her to send me the environmental impact assessment report of the factory."
The shawl carried the residual warmth of his body temperature. "If you want to build a brand, I will provide you with a supply chain. If you want a voice, I will give you a seat on the board of directors." He suddenly held my hand and pressed it on his throbbing carotid artery. "As long as you are happy."
I grabbed his wrist with my backhand, feeling the warmth from the blood connection, and pulled it down with all my strength.
Jiang Yichen, why didn’t you let me? He saw that I was hurt by him, so he pretended to lose.
The phone screen lit up again, and it was a market research report sent by Xiao Tiantian. I scrolled through the bar charts that filled the screen, and suddenly turned around and bit Jiang Yichen's earlobe: "Mr. Jiang, how about choosing the location of our first offline experience store opposite your company?"
He laughed softly, his chest shaking my back: "Mrs. Gu, are you going to challenge me?"
"No," I traced the lifeline of his palm with my fingertips, "I want to be your eternal rival."
The next morning, I led the studio team to the factory, leaving the kids at home to be taken care of by my grandmother. Fan Shuiguang was already waiting for us at the door. She was wearing a well-tailored suit, and her face showed the weathering of a young person, but full of energy. She greeted me as soon as she saw me.
"Momo, you're here!" She came up to me quickly, her tone full of excitement. "I've prepared a plan for the factory renovation. See if there's anything else that needs to be adjusted."
I took the document she handed over and quickly glanced through it. I have to say that Fan Shuiguang's plan was more thorough than I thought. He made detailed plans from raw material procurement to production line transformation and even employee training. The only problem was funding.
"How big is the funding gap?" I looked up and asked him, with a hint of seriousness in my tone.
Fan Shuiguang scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "We still need 50 million."
Fifty million is not a small amount for me now. Although Jiang Yichen agreed to invest, I don't want to rely on him completely. I lowered my head and pondered for a moment, and suddenly I thought of a bold plan.
"Sweetheart," I turned to look at the assistant behind me, "Contact several investment institutions we have worked with before and tell them that we have a new project and would like to invite them to visit."
Xiao Tiantian nodded immediately, took out her cell phone and started making arrangements.
Fan Shuiguang looked at me with some confusion: "Gu Mo, what are you going to do..."
I raised the corners of my mouth and showed a confident smile: "Since we are going to play, let's play big."
Three days later, the factory welcomed a group of special guests - the heads of several top investment institutions. I took them to visit the production line and introduced our products and future plans in detail.
Fan Shuiguang walked side by side with me, adding a few words from time to time. Her professionalism and calmness made several investors nod frequently.
After the visit, we had a two-hour negotiation in the conference room. I sat in the main seat, holding a thick contract in my hand, and said calmly and firmly: "Our goal is to create a new maternity and baby brand. We will not only do online live broadcasts, but also set up offline experience stores. In the next three years, our market share is expected to reach 20%."
Several investors exchanged glances, and one of the older men said, "Gu Mo, your plan is very attractive, but we are more concerned about how you can ensure the stability of the supply chain?"
I smiled slightly and turned to look at Fan Shuiguang.
She immediately understood and handed over a document: "This is the supply chain agreement between us and Jiang's Group. All raw materials are provided by Jiang's chemical companies. The quality and stability are absolutely guaranteed."
"And the reputation of the Fan Group."
The investor's eyes lit up, and he obviously recognized the reputation of Jiang's Group. The negotiations went smoothly, and we finally got an investment of 50 million.
However, just when we thought everything was going well, something unexpected happened.
