Chapter 4 I need his help
The atmosphere in the general manager's office was terrifyingly tense.
Lin Wei looked at the resignation letter and angrily slammed it on the table.
The R&D department is left with only a few interns doing odd jobs, and they're even threatening to quit.
Gu Xuan pushed the door open and came in, looking smug.
"Weiwei, you don't look well."
"So many resignation letters? Tsk tsk, look at this, if you had known this would happen, why did you argue with me?"
Lin Wei looked up at him, wishing she could devour him alive.
"Who allowed you in? You're not welcome here."
"Don't be angry. Our two companies have been cooperating for many years. We're in the same boat. Why are you doing this to yourself?"
"Good girl, as long as you take back your annulment of the engagement, sign the investment agreement, and immediately bring back the Gu family's R&D team."
Gu Xuan sat opposite Lin Wei, his legs crossed, his eyes revealing a smug sense of victory.
"Gu Xuan, you withdrew the R&D team without my permission. Are you planning to pay the penalty for breach of contract?"
"Penalty for breach of contract? Those were all verbally agreed upon. Do you have any proof?"
“You…” Lin Wei was speechless.
mean!
Gu Xuan coaxed her into sharing a research and development team with the Gu family back then, and even promised that he would never betray her.
The Lin Group relies on the R&D team provided by Gu Xuan for all its core technologies, which is tantamount to having him holding it by the throat.
“Weiwei, your company invested 300 million yuan in this project. If the research and development is terminated, you should know better than me how serious the losses will be.”
"As long as you marry me and obediently sign that investment contract, I can still bring the R&D team back."
"I have something to do at the company, so I'll have to go now. Think it over carefully, but I don't have much patience."
Gu Xuan gently stroked her hair with both hands, his smile as warm and gentle as jade.
Lin Wei turned away in disgust, her hands clenched into fists...
Women really shouldn't be too love-struck. Back then, her father retired and handed over the thriving company to her to manage.
In just three short years, she has ruined it to this state.
Right now, Gu Xuan is choking them and sucking their blood. If he doesn't let the R&D team come back, the company will be on the verge of bankruptcy.
Lin Wei felt extremely guilty at the thought that her father's company, which he had painstakingly built up over most of his life, was about to be destroyed by her.
How exactly do we get the R&D team back?
She tried every possible method, but none of them worked.
The R&D team is Gu Xuan's trump card; if his conditions are not met, he will not let Guai Guai and the others come back.
The problem lies with her romantic nature in her past life, where she trusted this man wholeheartedly.
They were completely unprepared for him, and now they are at a loss.
But she couldn't just sit and wait to die.
What she needs to do is to cut off the source of the problem!
Gu Jingcheng!
Lin Wei knew that the only person in the entire Jiangcheng who could make that mother and son obey his every word was Gu Jingcheng.
She had just slipped away from his car that morning, and it seemed a bit impolite of her to ask him for help now.
Lin Wei paced back and forth, and finally decided to take a gamble.
Merchants are profit-driven, and she still had leverage in negotiations.
Lin Wei picked up her phone, found Gu Jingcheng's number, and dialed it.
After a few beeps, Gu Jingcheng's authoritative voice came through the receiver.
"Miss Lin, you ran very fast this morning."
“”
Lin Wei softened her voice and became sincere.
"Mr. Gu, something urgent came up this morning, I'm so sorry."
I have a sure-fire business opportunity I'd like to discuss with Mr. Gu. I wonder if Mr. Gu would be interested?
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone...
Tell me about it.
Lin Wei was delighted and truthfully told Gu Jingcheng about the company's predicament.
And it offered the Lin Group as leverage.
I hope he can lend a hand.
Gu Jingcheng didn't give her an answer right away, but instead asked her, "Are you coming to the banquet tonight?"
In her previous life, it was at this very banquet that Gu Xuan and Lin Yan pushed her into the pool.
This ruined her reputation in Jiangcheng, turning her into a sycophant that everyone scorned.
But for the sake of the company, Lin Wei agreed, "I'll do it!"
"Okay, let's talk about it tonight."
Chen Nian pushed the door open and came in.
"Mr. Lin, you usually dislike socializing the most. Would you like Miss Yan'er to attend the banquet at Jingcheng Group in your place?"
"So you're making decisions for me now?" Lin Wei glanced at her, her expression indifferent.
"President Lin, you've misunderstood. I... I was just afraid you wouldn't like it."
"Go and order me a dress for the banquet; you can choose the style yourself."
"Okay, Mr. Lin."
Lin Yan, dressed in a white dress and carrying a fruit platter, walked towards her in a delicate manner.
"Sister, haven't you always disliked social engagements? Why are you thinking of attending a banquet?"
Lin Wei looked up at her, hatred welling up in her heart.
Lin Yan was the illegitimate daughter of her uncle's family. She was abused by her stepmother in her uncle's family and became emaciated.
The father couldn't bear it, so he took her home and raised her for more than ten years, but he never expected to raise a heartless and ungrateful wretch.
Images from her previous life flashed through Lin Wei's mind.
Lin Yan stroked her belly with an arrogant expression.
"Sister, Gu Xuan and I are in love, and I'm carrying his child."
The one who isn't loved is the mistress!
After the Lin family fell into poverty, Lin Yan imprisoned her in the basement and tortured her for three whole days.
Finally, they even poured boiling water on her face, disfiguring her.
She finally managed to escape, only to be stabbed to death by Gu Xuan in the street!
Looking at the torrential rain outside the window, Lin Wei felt as if she had returned to the night of her tragic death, her hands clenched tightly.
"Yan'er, you seem to know everything about my affairs."
"Sister, I'm just worried about you."
"How about I go with you? It can help you pass the time when you're bored."
Lin Wei turned around, her gaze returning to its usual coldness. "Of course."
"Then shall I invite Brother Gu Xuan to come along?"
"OK"
Lin Wei clenched her fists.
Since God has given her a second chance at life, how could she waste it?
Lin Yan gave her a sweet smile.
What an idiot! He was easily fooled by her sweet words and became completely obedient to her.
Sister, oh sister, your beloved Gu Xuan is devoted to me. What do you have to compare with me?
An hour before the banquet, Chen Nian walked into the general manager's office carrying a black shimmering dress.
"Mr. Lin, you've chosen your dress for the banquet."
Lin Wei looked at Chen Nian, her mind filled with thoughts. If she hadn't died once, she really wouldn't know.
The secretary she trusted was actually an informant planted by Lin Yan, who had colluded with Lin Yan over the years to nearly bankrupt the Lin family business.
Did you choose it yourself?
Chen Nian said with a proud look, "Yes, this is a new style. I begged the designer for a long time to buy it. You should try it on."
Lin Wei didn't reply, but looked at Lin Yan and asked, "Yan'er, do you think this dress looks good?"
"Sister, this dress is practically tailor-made for you!"
"If you wear this to the banquet, you'll definitely be the center of attention."
"Really? You think it looks good too?"
Lin Yan kept recommending it, "Sister, I think it's so beautiful. If I could wear this dress, I would be so happy."
"Oh? Since Yan'er likes it so much, I'll give it to you."
"This...this won't do." Lin Yan's expression visibly turned panicked.
"What, aren't you happy that I gave you a dress?"
Lin Wei looked up at her. In her previous life, it was Lin Yan who had Chen Nian buy her a cheap, high-quality replica dress, which made her look foolish at the banquet.
