"Zhenyu, this is delicious, try it."

Lin Shiling handed the spoon to him. The fresh tofu soybean paste soup looked particularly tempting.

Li Zhenyu opened his mouth wide and bit it. The smooth tofu swayed between his teeth, and it broke into crumbs and slid down with a light bite.

"Mmm~ It's really delicious."

Li Zhenyu nodded in agreement, and Lin Shiling smiled happily, "Right? This tofu is made in-house. You can't buy it outside."

"Can I just take the tofu with me when I leave?"

"Yeah, haha, it seems Zhenyu really likes to eat tofu!"

"Well, I like tofu more than any other dish...especially soft tofu."

Li Zhenyu nodded seriously. He really loved eating tender tofu.

It's white and tender, and when you touch it lightly with your fingers, it feels elastic and smooth.

Wow~ Just thinking about it makes me hungry, I can’t help it at all.

"Nuna, try this..."

Li Zhenyu picked up a piece of sashimi, stood up and dragged it to her mouth with his hand.

Lin Shiling hesitated for a moment, but still opened her mouth and bit the fish fillet, trying not to touch the chopsticks.

Although close friends and colleagues don’t mind sharing food with each other.

But, she is a married woman after all.

"Nu Na."

"Inside?"

"I haven't answered your question yet. Is everything okay at home?"

Li Zhenyu just wanted to touch Lin Shiling's heart.

Anyway, Lee Jae-yong will not pay for her no matter what.

Sanxin is a wealthy and powerful company, that’s right.

But with a big family and a big business, the expenses are also big.

What's more, Lee Jae-yong is the crown prince, and only the crown prince.

Even if he wanted to help his mother's family, there were some things that were not up to him to decide.

"It's not very good. Father is trying to find a solution."

Lin Shiling forced a smile, lowered her head and poked the rice in the bowl with a spoon.

Li Zhenyu seemed not to notice her performance and continued to talk to himself: "With Brother Zai Rong here, I believe nothing will go wrong."

Li Zhenyu took a big mouthful of rice and ate it relishingly without any tact.

Only Lin Shiling was left standing there, mechanically pounding the rice with a spoon, her face changing from gloomy to bright.

The smacking sound disturbed Lin Shiling, who looked up and said with a smile, "Zhenyu, you are eating so deliciously!"

"Really?" Li Zhenyu swallowed the food in his mouth and said with a smile, "Won't it look sloppy like this?"

"How could that be? Men should eat with big mouthfuls. When I eat with you, I can eat half a bowl more."

Li Zhenyu picked up his wine glass, clinked it with hers and continued eating.

Lin Shiling, however, was preoccupied, hesitating whether to give it a try, "Um... Zhenyu!"

"Yeah, what's wrong, Nuna." Li Zhenyu looked up and asked.

"Is that company, Yingjun, really yours?"

"You could say I'm a shareholder."

"Oh~"

Lin Shiling hesitated for a moment and decided to give it a try. "Zhenyu, can I ask you for a favor?"

"What? Just say it, Noona."

"My family... I mean my family. The Elephant Group needs some funds. I wonder if you have any solution."

Li Zhenyu frowned and asked in surprise: "Where is Brother Rong?"

It hurts, repeatedly.

Because it was their first contact, Lin Shiling really didn't know whether he did it on purpose or unintentionally. She really had no idea.

"Zai Rong is in a difficult situation too. Sanxin is not having an easy time as American investors are withdrawing a large amount of funds."

Because of family matters, Lin Shiling hasn't had a good night's sleep for two weeks.

I worry about this every day and when I talk about it with my husband, all I get is perfunctory responses and impatience.

He always talked about how important this year was to Sanxin, how much pressure he was under, and how his father was like this and that...

In his eyes, there were no elephants.

Lin Shiling knew that after marrying into this family, she should put Sanxin and her husband first.

But she did not intend to secretly use the money from her husband's family to subsidize her own family. She just hoped that Sanxin could provide some assistance to Elephants in the form of business.

My father-in-law, the emperor of the Sanxin Republic, has this ability...

However, these requests were ruthlessly rejected.

Lin Shiling no longer had any hope and told her father about it.

Let him stop harboring illusions that Sanxin can help them through the difficult times.

It's time to find a new way out.

"Ah, that's it."

Li Zhenyu realized later that Lin Shiling's "heartbeat value" index also appeared in his "vision".

Very good, it has exceeded the normal boundaries.

Li Zhenyu did not hesitate and took the initiative to use 'Steal Heart.'

Boom, boom, boom~ "Okay."

Li Zhenyu's answer was simple and clear, but shocking.

She thought she was the closest husband to her, but he ruthlessly rejected her when she needed him.

Now, an outsider so easily agreed to her request for help and was willing to lend her a helping hand.

"How much does it cost?"

"About... 50 billion... If it's too much, 20 billion is fine."

"good."

Li Zhenyu agreed to her request so casually.

At this moment, he was like an angel, shining in Lin Shiling's eyes.

That handsome face also became super cute, as if I could hug him and give him a kiss.

"Aigu, Lin Shiling, what are you thinking about!"

Lin Shiling shook her head vigorously and said with tears in her eyes: "Zhenyu, thank you, thank you, thank you so much."

As she spoke, Lin Shiling burst into tears.

No one knows the pressure she is under, with her parents on one side and her husband's family on the other.

She was caught between the two, as if she had fallen into an abyss with no escape.

I could only watch myself sink deeper and deeper, from panic to fear, and then to numbness.

Those who said, 'I am your closest person...we are a family...the one you cherish...' just stood there indifferently.

I watched her fall into the abyss little by little, as if she was about to die.

At this moment, Li Zhenyu appeared by chance and extended a helping hand to her, firmly pulling her out of the abyss.

Obviously, this matter has nothing to do with him.

"Zhenyu, Zhenyu!"

Lin Shiling couldn't help but repeating his name over and over again, as if expressing gratitude, but also with some complicated emotions.

In Li Zhenyu's "perspective", Lin Shiling's heartbeat value has reached 89.

Just a little bit more to reach the 'active' 90 points.

It’s a bit of a shame, but there’s no need to worry too much, as they will have a lot of time together alone.

"Nuna, I'll let Yingjun discuss the details. If you have any difficulties in the future, just call me."

Li Zhenyu reached out and held her fingers, which were a little hard at first, but relaxed in an instant.

Looking up at him, Lin Shiling seemed to want to say something.

Li Zhenyu, however, let go of her hand and said, "It's okay. Daesang is a company that the people trust and will definitely get through this difficult time."

"Really? Nai!" What Lin Shiling originally wanted to say was blocked.

When Li Zhenyu finished eating, Li Jae-yong, who was busy with work, had not shown up yet, but he called him to explain.

There was an accident at Sanxin Commodities, and a worker was injured on the construction site. He was needed to go to the scene urgently to deal with it, and he is currently dealing with the aftermath.

"It's okay. The food at Rong Ge is delicious. Let's meet at another place with delicious food next time."

After hanging up the phone, Li Zhenyu looked at Lin Shiling across from him, "It seems that this is the end of today."

After stretching, Li Zhenyu stood up, took his bag and prepared to leave.

Lin Shiling also followed suit. Someone would naturally pay for the bill, and they just had to eat and leave.

When they got to the door, Li Zhenyu asked casually, "Nuna, do you want me to take you there?"

"Ani, my car is over there."

Lin Shiling pointed to the opposite side, where a black Mercedes was parked. The driver wearing white gloves bowed when he saw the two of them.

"Brother Zai Rong was really thoughtful. He left early and didn't forget to ask the driver to pick up Nuna."

Lin Shiling's expression changed, and after hesitating for two seconds, she suddenly said, "Zhenyu, do you want to have a drink together?"

"Now."

"Yes, I know a good bar."

"Okay, let's go together!"

A pink BARBOS stopped in front of him, and Li Zhenyu opened the door like a gentleman and let her go first.

Holding his hand, Lin Shiling ignored the driver's surprised and panicked look and stepped on the pedal to sit in the back seat. Li Zhenyu's figure disappeared from her sight.

Bang, the car door closed, and Brabus drove smoothly into the distance.

Only the black Mercedes and the bewildered driver were left standing in the wind. So, what should I do now? Should I follow them or report to the vice president first?

You have to report, right? Do you really have to report? ! In the slowly moving car, Li Zhenyu dialed Zhao Yingjun's number: "Yingjun, I have something to tell you, about the Elephant Group..."

"Yes, Sister Shiling is right beside me... Just treat it as a normal investment, about 50 billion yuan, okay?"

Zhao Yingjun on the other end of the phone hesitated: "Hmm~~"

It sounds like you are troubled by this, 50 billion is not a small amount of money.

Lin Shiling clenched her hands nervously, and her arms on her thighs were shaking slightly. She was so nervous.

"If you are in trouble, how about transferring some money back from the United States?"

"50 billion?... It will be a bit troublesome to supervise, but I will handle it since it's your business."

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Lin Shiling, whose palms were sweating from nervousness, unclenched her fists and mouthed to him in a low voice, "Thank Yingjun for me."

"Sister Shi Ling asked me to thank you on her behalf. You really helped a lot this time."

"Ani, if you want to thank someone, just thank me... That's it, I'll go get ready first."

"Okay, let's talk when we meet."

After the call was hung up, my heart rate, which was stuck at 89, jumped up again.

Heart rate: 91.

Li Zhenyu put down his phone, turned to look out the window, and the smile on his lips continued to rise.

The weather is so nice today!
