Meanwhile, An Yiruo, who was in Xinghai Bay, received a phone call. Looking at the caller ID, she saw that it was her father calling.
An Yiruo didn't want to answer, so she hung up. But the other party seemed tireless; every time she hung up, they would call back.
Helpless, An Yiruo pressed the answer button.
“Hello,” An Yiruo said coldly, her tone devoid of any emotional fluctuation.
“An’an, why didn’t you answer your father’s call?” An Zhengrong (An Yiruo’s father) said.
"Is there something you need?" An Yiruo's tone remained icy.
"Well... here's the thing, your sister got a boyfriend, and they'll be coming home for dinner together tomorrow night. You should come back tomorrow too, so we can have a family reunion dinner," An Zhengrong said on the other end of the phone.
Hearing An Zhengrong say this, An Yiruo sneered inwardly.
"Why does An Yufei want me to come over for dinner when she brought her boyfriend home?" Although An Yiruo didn't understand what An Zhengrong was up to, she knew that An Zhengrong would never ask her to come back for dinner for no reason.
“An’an, Yufei is still your sister. How can you, as her older sister, not be present for her important life event?”
An Zhengrong spoke in a flattering tone.
"I'm not going," An Yiruo said, about to hang up the phone, when An Zhengrong quickly called out to stop her.
“An’an, don’t hang up yet. I know I’ve done a lot of wrong things before, causing you and your… mother a lot of grievances. So, as long as you can come back tomorrow night, I will return the shares in the company that originally belonged to your mother to her.”
Not to mention, An Zhengrong's offer was extremely tempting, and An Yiruo hesitated when she heard the word "shares" because she understood that the company was her mother's life's work, and if it weren't for her health, her mother would also want to take back what belonged to her.
Hearing that An Yiruo did not immediately refuse him, An Zhengrong breathed a slight sigh of relief and continued, "An'an, no matter what, I am still your father. After all, blood is thicker than water. I did something wrong to your mother in the past, and now I want to make amends."
An Zhengrong's words were very sincere, which made An Yiruo fall into memories. Before that woman appeared, her father also doted on her.
When she was little, her father would try to make her happy, take her to amusement parks, and buy her pretty clothes...
Although she hated her father for betraying her mother, deep down she still longed for her father's love.
"An'an, then it's settled. See you tomorrow night?" An Zhengrong urged, wanting to finalize a time with An Yiruo as soon as possible.
"Let me think about it," An Yiruo gave An Zhengrong an uncertain answer.
"Okay, An'an. Think it over carefully. No matter how late it is, Dad will be waiting for you at home tomorrow." An Zhengrong's words at this moment sounded like those of a father missing his daughter.
However, going back to yesterday, a large number of defective products appeared in one of An's Enterprise's orders, and according to the contract, An's Enterprise was required to pay the other party a large amount of liquidated damages.
Coincidentally, Anshi had just recently purchased a large number of new machines, and the money in their accounts was simply not enough to cover the compensation.
However, if he does not pay compensation, and the other company sues him, it will have a direct impact on the future listing of An's Enterprise.
Helpless, An Zhengrong had to raise money from all sides, hoping to advance the compensation payment.
For some reason, he went to several banks but failed to get a loan. The staff just told him that his paperwork was incomplete and he would have to wait.
But An's Enterprises is currently in dire straits and cannot afford to wait any longer. After repeatedly going to the bank to urge them to pay, he gave up and wanted to find another way.
Should he borrow money from loan sharks? An Zhengrong thought about it but didn't take that step. Everyone said that loan shark interest rates were terrifyingly high, and if he defaulted, the interest would snowball and he would eventually go bankrupt. He didn't dare to take the risk of building his business from scratch.
He started asking acquaintances and friends, but as soon as they heard it was about borrowing money, they all made excuses to refuse, as if they had agreed beforehand.
So An Zhengrong had to pull strings and find connections, and finally found an investor who said he was willing to lend him money without him having to pay interest.
He was a boss surnamed Xue. It was said that he was very wealthy, but after having dinner with him, I discovered that this boss Xue had a problem: he loved to play around with women.
Desperate, An Zhengrong tried to send several beautiful women to Boss Xue, but none of them caught his eye, and they all returned.
"Mr. An, I heard you have a pretty daughter. Why don't you have her come and keep me company for three days? I guarantee the funds will arrive on time," Mr. Xue said with a sly smile at the dinner table.
“She’s clumsy and clumsy, how can she serve Boss Xue well? These beauties don’t suit Boss Xue’s taste, how about I bring a few more beauties over, I’m sure Boss Xue will be satisfied.” Just as An Zhengrong was about to make further arrangements, Boss Xue snatched the phone away.
"An Zhengrong, if you want money, your daughter has to come over, otherwise, there's no point in talking." After saying this, Boss Xue left, leaving An Zhengrong alone in the restaurant's private room.
He absolutely needed the money, and the company... absolutely couldn't go bankrupt, but his daughter...
Thinking of this, An Zhengrong returned home and said to his current wife, Li Yushu, "Wife, the company has encountered some trouble these past few days."
"Is something wrong at the company?" Li Yushu walked over with a cup of coffee, then sat down next to An Zhengrong and considerately massaged his shoulders.
“The company has encountered a problem with an order, which requires a large penalty for breach of contract, but the company doesn’t have that much money in its accounts right now. I found an investor who said he was willing to lend me the money without interest, but… he has one condition,” An Zhengrong said while enjoying Li Yushu’s massage.
Hearing An Zhengrong's words, Li Yushu's heart skipped a beat. She felt that the man's conditions must be harsh, otherwise he wouldn't have waived interest. After all, with so much money, the interest wouldn't be a small amount.
"What conditions did that person propose?" Li Yushu asked tentatively.
"He suggested that my daughter come and spend a vacation with him."
Li Yushu understood that since An Zhengrong had said that, he meant he wanted to agree to that person's request.
But how could Li Yushu bear to send An Yufei to be that man's plaything? So, out of An Zhengrong's sight, a calculating look flashed in Li Yushu's eyes.
"Honey, you don't mean to send Yufei over, do you?"
