When Xiao Hua returned, she asked He Yu about the situation of the Lu Zhan battle.
He Yu was drinking water when he heard what Xiao Hua said, and he spat out a mouthful of water far away.
"Goodness, he really doesn't discriminate when it comes to borrowing money. If He Yan finds out, he'll be furious. The woman he likes is throwing herself at Zhou Musheng, and his best friend is also trying to befriend Zhou Musheng."
Xiao Hua sighed and said, "He was cheated by a Hong Kong businessman and urgently needs funds to revitalize his stagnant business. Asking Zhou Musheng for money was a last resort. What good is it that He Yan is on good terms with him? He can't provide him with funds."
This is reality! Utter reality!
"These days, you really have to be careful when doing business, or you could end up back where you started."
He Yu thought about how Lu Zhan had made his business so successful back then, and now he was saying it was no longer viable.
A company not only needs to succeed, but also needs to have a certain level of resilience.
"Did you try to persuade He Yan? Did he agree to move?"
After the last super typhoon, many small and medium-sized enterprises went bankrupt. Xiaohua is now terrified that her business might collapse at any moment, so she is really afraid that Zhou Musheng will withdraw his investment.
"How could I not try to persuade him? I've talked him until his lips are sore, but he just won't listen. There's nothing I can do. Why don't you move it yourself?"
He Yu also had a headache dealing with his stubborn younger brother.
Xiao Hua said with a headache, "I've seen it all. He doesn't listen to anyone and always likes to do things his own way. I'd better move. I'm afraid he'll move wherever I move. I can't exactly move to Zhou Musheng's house."
It was very late when Xiaohua got home. She knocked on the door downstairs.
He Yan opened the door and said expressionlessly, "Come in!"
Xiaohua refused: "I'd rather not go in. As for Kang'an, I'll take him upstairs to rest."
"She's doing crafts, and she hasn't finished yet. It's homework from kindergarten. I was just helping her with it. If you're not coming in, then you can wait at the door."
He Yan went inside as he spoke.
Xiaohua could only stand awkwardly at the door.
"He Yan, I have something to tell you."
She called out into the house.
He Yan has come out again.
His tone was unfriendly: "What is it?"
"I'm planning to move with my child."
He wouldn't move, so she had to.
"Heh, it seems the man you found isn't so great either. Is he narrow-minded or doesn't trust you enough?"
He Yan said sarcastically.
Xiaohua didn't want to argue with him. Every day she either had to use her brain to please others or waste her breath arguing with them. She would get tired too, you know.
"Don't be sarcastic with me. I'm just letting you know that my parents are coming in a few days. From now on, they will be taking care of picking up and dropping off the kids for you. Let's... let's see each other less often."
Xiaohua was a little afraid to look at him when she said this.
He Yan's chest heaved violently as he tried to suppress his anger and calm himself down.
"Ye Xiaohua, you can move wherever you want, I can't and have no right to interfere, but you can't take my child with you. I've already given in, don't go too far."
"Then either you move out, we're divorced, do you think it's appropriate for us to still live upstairs and downstairs like this?"
Her meaning was very clear: they couldn't live so close.
"We just got divorced, didn't we? We used to be able to live under the same roof, so why can't we live upstairs or downstairs now? I won't live too far away from my child. If you can't accept that, then give me the child, and I promise to stay far away from you."
Xiaohua really couldn't do anything with him; a child could completely control her.
"He Yan, could you please be a little more reasonable? Don't make things so difficult for me."
"Why should I be reasonable? It's your problem if you feel embarrassed. What does it have to do with me? Who do you think you are? Do you think I would care about you? Let me tell you, Ye Xiaohua, you are not worthy of my, He Yan's, attention!"
He spoke sternly and harshly, and Xiao Hua couldn't help but take two steps back after being scolded by him.
"Ye Xiaohua, I'll say it again: don't go too far. You find your man, I'll take care of my child, and we'll keep to ourselves. But if you move too far away from me with the child, don't blame me for fighting you for custody. Upstairs or downstairs is the only distance I can accept."
After He Yan finished speaking, he slammed the door shut.
A moment later, a voice came from inside the house: "Kang An, you're sleeping with me tonight. Go home and calm down."
Xiaohua's eyes were red, but she tilted her head back and ultimately didn't let the tears fall.
Forget it, I'll just take it one day at a time!
When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it.
He Yu arrived early enough that she saw Xiao Hua already sitting in the office as soon as she arrived.
She has children to take care of, so she usually arrives late in the morning.
"Why are you here so early today?"
Xiaohua scratched her head: "I'm upset and can't sleep. The child slept with He Yan last night, so I came over early to check the accounts."
"What's wrong? What's bothering you?"
Xiaohua sighed helplessly: "What else could possibly happen?"
"Don't worry, I'm doing my best to leverage my connections. Tonight I'm going to meet with President Shen of Dacheng Group to see if I can get some money from him."
He Yu knew all too well that Xiao Hua couldn't persuade He Yan to move out, and on the other hand, she was afraid that Zhou Mu would find out that He Yan lived downstairs from her and misunderstand her relationship with He Yan, and then withdraw her investment in a fit of anger.
This led to the company's demise.
Recently, new companies are opening up in overseas markets every day, while many companies are also going bankrupt every day.
Xiao Hua is afraid of He Yu even more. She gave up her secure job to go into business. If she doesn't make a name for herself, her parents and in-laws will say that she is not doing her proper job.
"You mentioned last time that Xu Xiangqian was interested in cooperating with us. Did you two have a meal together? How did the conversation go?"
Xiao Hua suddenly thought of someone. Now is not the time to talk about personal grudges. Right now, we need to get enough money to deal with Zhou Musheng's possible withdrawal of investment!
“I contacted him in between, but he insisted on talking to you first. However, considering how much you disliked him, I didn’t tell you.”
Xiaohua lit a cigarette for herself, but didn't smoke it; it just sat there burning.
"Alright, let's meet tonight. You go meet with President Shen, and I'll go meet with Xu Xiangqian."
He Yu nodded: "I'll make the appointment."
"Sister Yu, to be honest, I really shouldn't take Zhou Musheng's money if I can avoid it. Mixing business and personal matters together makes me look bad at myself. It feels like I'm selling myself for money."
Xiaohua chuckled self-deprecatingly as she said this: "Yesterday I brought him a box of homemade cookies, and the first thing he said was, 'Hasn't the money already been deposited into your account? What are you doing here?' It made it sound like I came to him just to ask for money back. Anyway, I felt a little uncomfortable."
He Yu patted her shoulder: "I understand."
He Yu added, "Xiao Hua, I feel that you still care about what Zhou Musheng thinks of you! The fact that you care about his opinion of you proves that you have feelings for him."
