Chapter 905 Return to China May Be Delayed
“Mmm.” Sang Ruo nodded silently in his arms: “After all, this is a foreign land, and it doesn’t feel as safe as it does in the capital.”
She felt that cunning was everywhere here.
After all, this is the most prosperous financial center in the United States and a world-class financial center. Elite talents from all over the world gather here, desperately wanting to stay.
Without cunning, how could one survive in this most prosperous land?
Bo Jinyan knew she wasn't used to life here. He stroked her beautiful hair, its smooth texture almost making him reluctant to let go: "Xiao Ruo, I know you're not used to life here, but we can't go back to China right now."
"Based on my conservative estimate, if it's only a year, the completion time for the new project is probably going to be tough."
At the very least, it will take about a year and a half to three years to complete this new project.
That will be the time when they can return home.
"Ayan, what do you mean by that?" Sang Ruo sensed the hidden meaning in his words: "Does that mean we still can't return to China in a year?"
Wasn't it supposed to be a year?
Why has it become so difficult now?
Did Ayan know from the beginning that the new project would definitely not be completed in just one year? Is that why he was so resistant in front of Old Master Bo?
If this project didn't carry Mr. Bo's expectations and hopes, given Ayan's personality, he would never have come in person.
Bo Jinyan also said he couldn't say for sure: "It's really hard to say. Based on my understanding of this new project, it will be difficult to complete it in less than a year and a half to three years. After all, developing a bank's payment and settlement system is not a small project."
This project is crucial to Lu's Bank's customer satisfaction with the bank.
If this project is completed and put into trial operation, and the payment and settlement system encounters any problems, then even if Bo Jinyan, as the crown prince of the Beijing circle, holds a high position and great power, he will still be held accountable.
Therefore, it's really hard to say when this project will be completed.
"One and a half to three years?" Sang Ruo was stunned when she heard this: "Wasn't it supposed to be one year? How come it's dragging on for so long?"
Even if this is a big project, there must be a specific completion time, right?
How could it take so long?
Upon hearing this, Bo Jinyan frowned: "Lu's Bank is divided into numerous clans and factions. Some of the senior directors do not want this new project to proceed and have been trying to sabotage and obstruct it. As an outsider, what can I say?"
This is also his predicament.
Despite being the person in charge of the project, he still has to navigate complex situations to move the project forward step by step.
The time cost alone is infinitely long. He said it would take one and a half to three years, which is a conservative estimate. The actual time will only be longer than that.
However, he didn't tell Xiao Ruoming.
He was afraid that she would despair if she heard it.
"You can easily raise these issues with Nan Chu!"
Sang Ruo didn't understand why he wouldn't use such a good partner as Nan Chu: "Nan Chu is our partner and also our friend. As long as you talk to her, she will definitely be able to help you find a solution!"
Bo Jinyan understood this perfectly well: "Of course I know she is our partner, but those old guys, even her father, are hard to maintain, let alone her, a bank president who has only been in office for a short time."
For bank boards with such distinct factions, the biggest problem isn't project implementation, but rather the complexities of personal relationships.
Getting those old guys to set aside their prejudices and not stand in your way of moving forward with new projects is no easy task.
Therefore, he is having a real headache right now.
"Then what should we do? Why don't you go and have a good talk with Nan Chu? See if you can change anything?" Sang Ruo suggested.
Bo Jinyan nodded slightly: "Given the current situation, this is the only option."
"However, I still can't let my guard down with my uncle, and neither can you, understand?"
His concern made Sang Ruo frown: "Of course I know to be wary of my uncle, but now that you've broken ties with him, he'll definitely be on guard. What are your plans to do next?"
"Isn't he the one who can't stand me getting involved in new projects? Then I'll start with the various projects of the Xu family!"
Sang Ruo's throat tightened: "What do you mean?"
"It's very simple. I'll snatch away every project the Xu family wants to participate in." Bo Jinyan wanted to leave the Xu family with no projects to invest in: "I'll get all the projects my uncle has into my hands!"
Simply put, it's about scrambling for projects.
For investors, the worst thing is not losing money, but having money but having no projects to invest in.
He used to fight against Gong Lian, but now he's going to have a good showdown with his own uncle!
Sang Ruo asked with some doubt, "Will this method work? What if your uncle finds out? Will he let you off the hook?"
The conflict between them had already reached a fever pitch, to the point where they were almost irreconcilable.
Now, with the added issue of disputes over project funding, the conflicts between them will likely escalate until they finally erupt.
"Don't worry, Xiaoruo, I'm not afraid of him."
At this moment, even Sang Ruo could not stop his determination to fight his uncle.
...
Manhattan, Lu's Bank headquarters, conference room.
After the board meeting, Bo Jinyan suddenly called out to Lu Nanchu, who was about to leave: "President Lu, wait a minute."
"What's wrong?" Lu Nanchu stopped and turned around when she heard him call her, asking, "Mr. Bo, is there something you need from me?"
Bo Jinyan looked around and said, "This isn't the place to talk. Let's go to your office."
"good."
Immediately afterwards, Bo Jinyan went out, followed closely by Lu Nanchu.
As the two walked into the bank president's office one after the other, little did Xu Chen know that he was in the corner of the conference room, watching them enter the president's office one after the other. His heart was still filled with an uncontrollable bitterness.
Why is Nan Chu able to get so close to her cousin?
If he gets a little closer to Wen Qingyi, people will gossip and point fingers at him.
Nan Chu, is there really nothing between you and your cousin?
At this moment, even he himself was somewhat uncertain.
Lu Nanchu was unaware of Xu Chen's thoughts. She walked straight into the office, closed the door, and then made two cups of tea, one for herself and one for Bo Jinyan.
"Alright, cousin, now you can tell me what it is, right?"
Bo Jinyan hesitated for a moment before speaking: "It's about the new project. I don't know if you've noticed, but some of the veteran directors of your Lu's Bank are trying to stop the project from going ahead. Are you aware of that?"
