Good times are always short-lived, and Monday came in the blink of an eye. Lin Xun and I had to withdraw from the romantic world of lovers and face the troubles of reality.
Entering her office, the air was filled with tension and solemnity. Cui Yingying walked over lightly but carefully, carrying a cup of hand-ground coffee. She lowered her eyes, looking very cautious. After placing the coffee gently on the table, she quietly left. When she closed the door, the slight "click" sound was particularly clear in the quiet office.
I subconsciously glanced at the closed door, turned my head to look at Lin Xun, and asked softly: "Regarding Cui Yingying, how do you plan to deal with her?" Hearing this, Lin Xun frowned slightly, fell into a moment of contemplation, and then asked helplessly: "Do you have any good suggestions?" I considered the wording and said slowly: "It depends on how much you trust what she said, how much you believe it."
Lin Xun sighed lightly, with a complicated look in his eyes, and slowly spoke: "What she said is not an isolated evidence without any basis. Zhiming took so much money from me, and I actually secretly paid attention to his friends. Someone told me a long time ago that he was indulging in wine and women all day long and squandering money. I thought that he was my only brother after all, and he was at an age of indulging in sensual pleasures. As long as it hurt the family, I would not want to interfere too much in his life. I never thought that he would get involved in gambling, that bottomless pit that could swallow up Wanguan's property in an instant..."
I frowned slightly, with a cautious look in my eyes, and asked softly, "Have you verified it with Yu Zhiming? After all, seeing is believing."
Lin Xun heard this and shook his head slightly. A look of desolation and helplessness appeared on his face, and his voice trembled a little: "I don't have the courage to make this call. He is my only brother. I am too afraid that if I expose his behavior, he will completely break up with me. I dare not take this risk."
I nodded in understanding, trying to comfort her a little: "It's normal for you to worry like this. It's safer to keep silent before all the facts come out. But the 200 million you invested in Mingjia Real Estate was also misappropriated by him, right?"
Lin Xun raised his head, his eyes flashing with determination: "I am more assured about this. When the share agreement was signed, all the shareholders of Mingjia Real Estate were present, and the agreement is legally binding. If they did not fulfill their obligation to inform me when Zhiming took the money, they will also bear joint and several liability."
I let out a long sigh and nodded slightly: "Fortunately, this money was borrowed. Since the funds are relatively safe, the loss is still within the controllable range and not as serious as I expected."
Lin Xun sighed heavily, frowned, and looked worried: "There are only nearly 100 million left, and there is more than 30 million from Sister Yun. How should I explain this to her?"
I thought for a moment and suggested, "Don't tell Liu Yun about this for now. After we develop the land and make money, we can slowly return it to her, how about that?"
Xun bit his lower lip and nodded slowly: "It can only be done this way. The Daxun parts business has developed well. In the past year, I have invested nearly 50 million yuan. Now I am really short of money and can't make ends meet."
I looked at her firmly, and said with strength: "There are always more solutions than problems. As for the real estate development, we need Zhang Weitang's 50 million to be in place on time. I will help you find a solution for the rest of the funding. However, the person in charge of Hongcheng Real Estate will definitely not be able to use Zhiming again. We have to find a more reliable candidate."
She nodded slightly, her eyes revealing determination, and said, "Well, I have already made up my mind about the person in charge of Hongcheng Real Estate."
I raised my eyebrows slightly and asked with a hint of curiosity, "Are you planning to use Zhang Weitang to manage it?"
She shook her head without hesitation when she heard this, and said with a hint of emotion: "Once bitten by a snake, I will be afraid of the rope for ten years. After what happened before, I can't trust him completely anymore."
I locked my eyes with her and asked, "So you already have the right person?"
The corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a confident smile, and she said firmly: "I plan to do it myself. Although I am a layman in the field of real estate development, I have the perseverance to learn and believe that I can do it well."
My eyes were full of admiration, and I said sincerely, "Great, this is what I want to see most. I feel more at ease when you are in charge."
She pursed her lips slightly, as if she was choosing her words, and then said, "I have another idea. Please help me with it."
I leaned forward slightly, pretending to be attentive, and said, "I'd like to hear the details."
She sat up straight and spoke clearly: "At present, the share structure of Hongcheng Real Estate is 51% for us, 25% for Zhang Weitang, and 24% for Mingjia Real Estate. According to my analysis, except for the initial preparation of the company, Mingjia Real Estate needs to participate, and they will basically invest more money in the future. Therefore, my idea is to use my shares in Mingjia to exchange, so that Mingjia can be kicked out of Hongcheng Real Estate."
I was secretly amazed. After all, Lin Xun was an expert who had been in the business world for many years. This operation showed that he had made up his mind to clean up the business. I thought for a moment and said, "I am quite in favor of this proposal. From the perspective of Mingjia Company, they have made a lot of money by using 200 million to exchange for 24% of the shares of a new company with bright prospects. They are likely to be satisfied. However, if you do this, do you think it is a bit of a loss? After all, these 200 million are not a small number."
She shook her head slightly, with a faint smile on her lips, and gently corrected: "놆 us, 놊놆 me. From now on in Hongcheng Real Estate, we have to fight side by side."
I laughed as well, scratching my head apologetically, "Look at me, I said something wrong when I was excited. Based on your idea, I was thinking, can you convert the 30 million you borrowed from Liu Yun into equity to supplement Mingjia's equity share? In this way, the equity structure may be more reasonable."
She sighed softly, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, and she said slowly: "I have had similar thoughts. However, I really don't have the nerve to bring this up with Sister Yun. This shopping mall is like a battlefield, and no one can guarantee that the project developed by Hongcheng will be profitable. How can I bear to take risks with Sister Yun's hard work? What if..."
I reached out and gently patted the back of her hand, looking at her firmly, and interrupted, "You have to have faith in me. I can guarantee that this project will definitely make money. Besides, I have already set my sights on that piece of land #1, and we will continue to develop it and make Hongcheng Real Estate bigger and stronger step by step. Then, everyone will benefit."
