The most taboo thing for a company is to have no working capital, which can easily cause all the company's projects to stagnate.
Hong Yi rubbed her brows, her face visibly exhausted. "I've been trying my best to deal with it, and I've been negotiating with the bank."
"So what was the result of your negotiation?"
Hong Yi took a deep breath. "If we want to apply for a bank loan, we must ensure that the company has the ability to repay the loan. However, the company has been making outgoing payments recently and has not received any income at all. The bank's approval process is very strict now. I can't get a loan from the bank right away..."
"After all, you still can't do it. Then you should stop sitting here and get in the way. Give your seat to someone who can."
I was listening to their quarrel at the door, and I finally understood what they had heard.
It's just for this position.
I pushed the door open and walked in.
The quarrel suddenly came to a standstill.
Several shareholders were a little embarrassed when they saw me.
"Why didn't you tell me about these things during the next meeting?"
At that time, because I had Zhou Chenyan's support, these people were very respectful to me. They didn't dare to have any opinions or ask anything.
Now, everyone has straightened their backs.
One of the women said sternly, "It's not that we're looking for trouble with you, but you haven't made any contribution to the company. I originally thought that with the help of the Zhou Group, it would definitely alleviate the company's difficulties, but now you've divorced the heir to the Zhou Group. What do you think you can rely on to sit in this position?"
"Based on my personal abilities."
I have never relied on Zhou Chenyan.
The woman burst out laughing. "You're a little too naive. Do you know how much energy it takes to manage a group? If you had the ability, you wouldn't have handed the group over to Hong Yi!"
"You just said that the competent should take the job. Hong Yi is more experienced than me in this area. I am handing the group over to her, which is like handing it over to someone with ability."
The woman choked on me.
"Then you haven't shown us any progress in the group yet!"
I knew this woman would seize on this.
Fortunately, I came prepared today.
"You should know that the government recently launched a project, and I hope our group will compete for it."
Several shareholders had different expressions on their faces and gathered together to whisper to each other.
They were obviously well aware of such big news.
The woman continued, "You make it sound easy, but do you know how difficult it is to take over this project? Our company is not qualified!"
I thought to myself, “Maybe I can do this.”
"Just you?"
"You'll know if you try it."
I was too lazy to waste time talking to them. "It's settled. I will do my best to get this done, but I hope that during this time, even if you don't want to help, you won't come over and cause trouble."
"Then we're waiting for your good news. If you can't do it or disappoint us..." the woman said, "Get out of this position."
"It's a deal."
After finally sending the group away, Hong Yi sat on the chair with a tired look on her face. "I'm sorry, I really tried my best."
"Auntie, don't blame yourself. This is my job."
"Didn't we agree from the beginning that just sitting in this position is useless for you, and it's useless without connections. You should go out and find a solution, and I will help you manage the company."
The two of us had already reached a consensus.
But I still feel a little guilty. “But after all, this company is what my mother left me, and it’s my responsibility.”
"That's not what I meant. Your mother and I are good friends. I've watched you and your brother grow up since you were little, and I treat you two as my own children."
Hong Yi’s words made me feel warm.
"By the way, was it true what you said before that you had a way to take over that project?"
"I can only try my best."
"But these shareholders won't allow you to fail. If you fail to take on this project, they will immediately squeeze you out of this position."
“You have to try to know the result.”
I can't guarantee it now, and I still feel a little guilty. I was just pushed into a corner.
In fact, whether this matter can be accomplished ultimately depends on discussion with Han Qi.
I went out and went straight to find Han Qi.
He was looking at some documents in his office. When he saw me coming over, he smiled and poured me a cup of tea.
"Didn't we agree to give you today off so you can check on your company? Why are you back so soon? Is everything going well at the company?"
I was originally worried about how to start a conversation, but after he asked me this, I was able to speak naturally.
I told him what happened in the company.
Han Qi pondered for a moment, "So you want to take on that project and cooperate with my company."
"I do have this idea, but it depends on you. If you don't want to accept it, I will find other ways."
"Is there any other solution?"
I hesitated. "What the company lacks right now is working capital. I got half of Zhou Chenyan's property when I divorced him. If I can sell it all and invest the money in the company, it should be able to cope for a short period of time."
"Can't."
Han Qi immediately rejected it.
Of course, I know that this is just a temporary solution and not a long-term solution to the problem, but now I have no other choice.
"We can't just watch the company go bankrupt because of a lack of circulating funds."
"Let's cooperate."
I looked at Han Qi in surprise. "I don't mean to force you. I just want to discuss everything with you. Of course, your wishes will prevail!"
Han Qi smiled and said, "There's nothing we can't cooperate with. I just don't want to meet someone. But since it's for the good of both companies, let's meet."
"Someone?"
"Yeah." Han Qi lowered his eyes, "Someone I don't want to see."
What he said made me very curious.
But I didn't ask any further questions. "Anyway, just give it your mind. I certainly hope that we can work together on this project. If we can complete it perfectly, both my company and yours will be able to reach new heights."
This way, a win-win situation can be achieved.
Han Qi made up his mind, "I understand what you mean. Now that I have made up my mind, I will not regret it, let alone hesitate. I will go see him this afternoon."
"Who is it?"
The Han Qi I know has always been calm and composed, as if even the falling sky wouldn't be enough to stop him. But why did this person make him look so indifferent and conflicted?
Han Qi pursed his lips and said, "My father."
"ah?"
Come to think of it, I don’t seem to know about his family background.
Han Qi rubbed his brows and looked out the window with a complicated expression. "My father is a leader in the city, but he has a wife."
Just a short sentence, but it contains a huge amount of information.
I think I have figured out what his complicated family background is all about.
"If you don't want to say it, don't say it."
