Long before Huo Cailiang learned that someone wanted to donate, he had already borrowed money from everyone he could ask. However, his family was already in a mess due to the heavy foreign debts, and he had just resigned. Those who were willing to lend a hand because of his ability were forced to turn a deaf ear to it due to the pressure.
Zhao Mei looked at his clenched fist and whispered, "Not only can I give you enough for your medical expenses, I can also help you pay off your debts. I can also give you enough money, enough for you to fight tooth for tooth, as long as you tell me what happened."
Huo Cailiang looked at Zhao Mei fiercely. He might have felt extremely helpless. Thinking of his father who had just passed away and his mother who was lying in the intensive care unit, he gritted his teeth and agreed to her conditions. However, the waiting room with people in it was definitely not the best place, so the two of them had to move outdoors.
On the way outside, Zhao Mei walked behind Huo Cailiang and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, she had no idea what was going on. She was just taking a gamble based on Huo Cailiang's 95-point ability and his current poor situation.
Since the system gave him such a high score, he shouldn't be worrying about money at this time. Even if his family has foreign debts like himself, he should still be without help, unless he offends the social circle he should be in.
Before Zhao Mei could continue to think, she saw Huo Cailiang sitting down in front of a bench. Zhao Mei also sat down and waited for Huo Cailiang to speak.
"The one who hurt my parents was the chairman of Yebai Investment Company's youngest son, Bai Yecheng." Huo Cailiang looked into Zhao Mei's calm eyes and continued, "I once studied economics at Capital University. Because of my excellent grades, I interned at Yebai Investment Company before graduation, and became the general manager a few years after graduation."
"But the good times didn't last. Bai Yecheng was the son of Chairman Bai Jianzhong, and my seat was originally reserved for him. At the time, I thought Bai Jianzhong was hesitant to change because I was capable enough, so Bai Yecheng ended up only being a deputy manager." Huo Cailiang couldn't help but smile bitterly at the thought. "Now that I think about it, I might as well give it to him. There might not be any follow-up."
"At the time, I had only been out of school for a few years and was full of ambition. Seeing that Bai Jianzhong only gave his son the deputy manager position in order to keep me, I even thought he was a sensible boss and company, so I worked even harder. Unfortunately, I soon discovered that the projects I worked on would inexplicably become Bai Yecheng's name, and my clients would inexplicably become Bai Yecheng's clients."
"These unusual situations are gradually increasing. Even if I'm not very good at dealing with people, I can see that Bai Jianzhong didn't keep me around because he values my talent. He simply wanted me to use my abilities to enhance his precious son's resume."
"At the time, I was extremely angry but also extremely calm. I knew that my resistance was useless and would only give them a suitable excuse to get rid of me. So I chose to endure it, while looking for something I could use against them."
"If the plan had gone smoothly, I would have used the leverage I had at the right time to get back my compensation and a letter of recommendation to another investment company. However, the appearance of a woman ruined all my plans." Huo Cailiang's eyes were complicated. "This woman is Bai Yecheng's childhood sweetheart and the person he loves most. She came to the Bai family company for an internship, which is a professional match, and now works under me."
"She confessed her love to me. Even though I had made it clear that I wasn't interested in a relationship right now, she still wouldn't give up. When I rejected her for the third time, Bai Yecheng found out. He was furious and started using all sorts of tactics to force me to resign, even going so far as to track down my hometown. At the time, I was working a demanding job while also looking for evidence to use against me. It was incredibly harassing. In the end, Bai Yecheng threatened me with my parents, and I didn't dare take the risk."
"I had no choice but to put everything aside and return home to protect my parents, but I was still a step too late. Just as I was boarding the plane, Bai Yecheng's plan to force me to leave was exposed. After being severely reprimanded by Bai Jianzhong, he lost his mind." Huo Cailiang's eyes were empty. "That's why I'm here."
Zhao Mei frowned: "Bai Yecheng did this just for his childhood sweetheart? Impossible."
Huo Cailiang glanced at the puzzled Zhao Mei and added, "...I thought you'd heard of Yebai Investment Company. Bai Jianzhong has two sons and a daughter. The daughter is married off, and the older and younger sons both serve as senior executives in the company. Bai Jianzhong once publicly stated that his position would be taken over by someone with greater ability. Despite this, he still favors his youngest son. It's a pity that Bai Yecheng has accomplished nothing."

Listening to the voice in her head, Zhao Mei smiled, knowing that Huo Cailiang hadn't concealed anything. She extended her hand and said, "My name is Zhao Mei. Thank you for your trust, Mr. Huo Cailiang. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future."
Huo Cailiang watched Zhao Mei inexplicably reintroduce herself, and could only cooperate by shaking hands and saying, "Huo Cailiang, happy cooperation?"
"Two billion, plus 20% of Midland Investment's shares, that's what I can give you. Is that enough?"
Huo Cailiang suddenly stood up, his chest heaving with excitement. "Miss Zhao, are you sure? What are the conditions?"
Zhao Mei anticipated his reaction: "I am very confident in your ability, but the condition is that you will work for me in the future. I need a capable helper to build my own business empire."
Huo Cailiang, stunned by the 2 billion, didn't forget to ask, "Why did you choose me when you have so much money? There are many professional managers who are more suitable than me, right?"
"There's no reason. I just believe in my own vision. I hope you can use this money and resources to bring down Yebai Investment. Don't forget to work for me when you get your revenge. Let's just set up a company first." Zhao Mei thought for a while and didn't see anything to do. "We'll tell you what to do specifically when the time comes."
Zhao Mei stood up and prepared to go home. She glanced at Huo Cailiang and said, "I will send you a contact number later. You can contact him directly when you arrive in the capital. As for the Bai family, you can use any means as long as it does not violate the law. This person can give you a lot of help. He is very powerful." After that, she prepared to leave.
After walking two steps, Zhao Mei suddenly seemed to remember something and turned back: "Oh, by the way, you should know now that your mother's expenses are nothing to me, so just don't worry. I wish you success in your plan soon, and I also wish myself to become the chairman of the group soon. Good night." After that, she waved her hand and left, leaving Huo Cailiang still in a mess.
