After Xiao Hua left, He Yu's party didn't last long either, and soon it was over.
When Xiao Hua returned to Meng Dongfang, He Yu found her sleeping on her desk.
He Yu sat next to her for a while.
When Xiao Hua woke up, she asked He Yu, "Is it over?"
He Yu replied, "Not long after you left, President Xu made an excuse that he had something to do and ended the meeting."
Xiaohua stretched and yawned: "This man has no class and is very unfriendly to us women. But poor men are full of malice towards women, so how many of them would respect us women? Let alone a rich man like this, it's not surprising."
“Xiaohua, you shouldn’t have left early, and you shouldn’t have said those things at the end. Our goal is to get the money. Just ignore what he says. Getting the money is the most important thing.”
He Yu felt that Xiao Hua had acted impulsively.
"You think that if I just endured his humiliation and forced him to drink and be submissive, we could get the money? You're being too naive. This kind of person came here today specifically to humiliate me."
"He probably already found out what my relationship with Zhou Musheng is. He looks down on women; he thinks women in business only use their beauty and bodies to get investment and partnerships from men."
He Yu felt that Xiao Hua's words made sense, but after so many days, only he was willing to extend an olive branch, offer such a large sum of money, and not ask for shares, but only 60% of the profits from the past five years.
"So what do you suggest we do now? You're unwilling to continue taking Mr. Zhou's money, but we still need to expand the school, and we still have so much debt to repay."
He Yu was also worried. Although she did not regret joining Xiao Hua's company and becoming Xiao Hua's partner, she still needed to get out of the current predicament!
"If you ask me, we should just ignore this kind of person and wait for him to come to us for cooperation." Actually, Xiaohua wasn't sure either; she was just taking a gamble.
"Waiting for him to come to us for cooperation? You must have had too much to drink at noon today, you're probably drunk, aren't you?" He Yu nudged Xiao Hua.
“I’m not drunk, but if you rush to beg him, you’re even less likely to get investment. So let’s take a gamble. Don’t be impatient. If I can’t get his investment, I’ll swallow my pride and go to Mr. Zhou for another sum of money. This company is very important to me. I can only succeed, not fail. But right now, we’re not in dire straits yet!”
Xiao Hua assured He Yu.
Although He Yu was not quite sure what kind of conflict Xiao Hua and Mr. Zhou had, so that Xiao Hua would rather work so hard to attract investment than lower herself to ask Mr. Zhou for money again.
But she thought this conflict would be very deep. She didn't want to force Xiaohua to do things she didn't like, but that's how businesses survive; if you're unwilling to humbly seek investment, your business will inevitably fail.
While others are constantly expanding, your business is getting smaller and smaller, and eventually you have no students left. What will you use to compete with others?
"Then we can only take a gamble and leave the rest to fate!"
The matter was left unresolved for more than half a month. Xu Xiangqian's secretary contacted He Yu, saying that their boss was interested in cooperating and that their boss had arranged a dinner with President Ye to discuss the matter in detail.
Just as Xiaohua and Heyu were preparing to discuss the details of their collaboration, Xiaohua received a call from her father, who said that her mother had broken her leg while cutting pig feed on the mountain and hoped that Xiaohua could come back.
Xiaohua is so busy right now that she doesn't have time to go back. She asked her parents if their condition was serious. If it wasn't serious, she could stay home and send them some money so her sisters-in-law could help take care of them. Her brother and sister-in-law would contribute their time and money.
However, her father said on the phone that her mother's fall was very serious and that the doctors at the local hospital couldn't perform the surgery.
They're trying to see if they can get her mother into a big hospital, because they're afraid that if the treatment is delayed, her mother might never be able to stand up again. Xiaohua heard how serious her father was talking about it, and she didn't dare to delay any longer, but she was really busy right now.
She plans to open a technical skills training institution with He Yu, such as a beauty and hairdressing training institution, a cooking training institution, an excavator training institution, a CNC machine tool training institution, etc. This investment is hard-won, and whether it can be negotiated depends on the next period of time. If she, as the main person in charge, does not show up, why would others be willing to invest this money in them?
Will the investors think she's not serious about her work? Torn between her career and her family, Xiaohua is finding it difficult to choose.
He Yan saw her predicament and offered to take the initiative to say that if she was at ease, he could make a trip to see her mother. If it was really serious, he would take her mother to Hai City and find a good orthopedic doctor to treat her properly.
In the past, Xiaohua would never have agreed to this and would have refused outright because she really didn't want to owe He Yan a favor. But now that she thinks about it, how much already does she owe He Yan?
It seems he doesn't care about this one item anymore; one more or one less won't make a difference. Now, saying he doesn't want to owe He Yan is somewhat pretentious.
He Yan could tell that Xiao Hua wanted to agree but hesitated, so he said, "Kang An's maternal grandmother broke her leg, and Kang An, as her granddaughter, should go back to see her. Kang An is still too young and has to go to kindergarten. The journey back and forth is too tiring. So let me, as her father, do it for her!"
"I'm just going to check on Kang'an's grandma for her. If she needs any help, I'll lend a hand. It's nothing big, so you don't need to feel like you owe me a huge favor. I'm not helping you, I'm helping Kang'an."
Xiao Hua knew that He Yan said this to comfort her and to relieve her of any pressure.
For some reason, she suddenly felt that He Yan was actually a kind person.
"Then I'll have to trouble you." Xiaohua felt that saying this was somewhat hypocritical, but she said it anyway out of politeness.
"What trouble or not, it's just a trip, it's not a big deal. You and He Yu worked so hard to get this investment, so we can't afford any mistakes. Right now, you can't go anywhere. The most important thing is to stay here and get the contract signed as soon as possible."
Xiao Hua nodded: "Who says otherwise? This money is really important to us. This is the first big project that He Yu and I have negotiated together based on our own abilities. It will determine the future development of the company. I really can't leave Hai Shang Temple at this time."
He Yan understood her, and she was truly touched.
He Yan was quick; that very night, he took a green train to Xiao Hua's hometown.
