Chapter 122 She Can't Marry Three Times
Song Yilin smiled and said, "Chen Yan, didn't you already know that I like to drink Pu'er tea? Now that you're here, just say what you want to say."
Chen Yan tapped the teacup with his finger, his lips still curved in that same smile.
He's a real old fox; you can never read his mind from his face.
Song Yilin really dislikes dealing with people like that.
She prefers sincerity and honesty in business, but unfortunately, most people in this society are like Chen Yan.
Always wearing a mask.
“Little Song Yilin, this tea is so good, savor it before you speak, there’s no rush.”
kid?
Chen Yan was only a few years older than her.
However, he was indeed a bit older than both her and Xu Qingmin, who were the same age.
Chen Yan's gaze fell on Wang Qianqian's stomach: "Ms. Wang, I'd like to have a cigar, would you be so kind as to do me that?"
Wang Qianqian knew that Chen Yan wanted to kick her out. She glanced at Song Yilin, who nodded. Only then did Wang Qianqian leave, supporting her pregnant belly.
As soon as Wang Qianqian left, Chen Yan lit a cigar.
He then handed it to Song Yilin, asking, "Want some?"
"No, thank you."
"I remember Mr. Song smokes."
Song Yilin hadn't smoked for many years. The only time she smoked recently was when Xu Qingmin helped her find the old lady. When the driver took her to the hospital, she smoked one cigarette downstairs. She hasn't smoked since.
So Chen Yan had people watching her as soon as she got together with Xu Qingmin?
"Chen Yan, what's the meaning of you having people keep an eye on me?"
"I was observing whether you were a suitable partner. I didn't expect you to actually be."
Song Yilin took over Wang Qianqian's place and made tea for Chen Yan. With a faint smile on her lips, she picked the easiest topic to talk about: "President Chen, you should talk to me about salary. If the price is right, I'm willing to be a professional manager."
Chen Yan swayed his long index finger from side to side: "No, ordinary professional managers can't keep those old guys in my company in check. Only my other half, who owns all my shares, can keep them in check."
Song Yilin waved her hands: "No way, I'm getting married, and my fiancé is Xu Qingmin. Do you think people in your company would want the wife of another company's president to be their CEO?"
Chen Yan shamelessly said, "So, I need you to be my girlfriend."
He seemed to have no awareness whatsoever that married women were untouchable, and morality was worthless in his eyes.
Song Yilin felt she couldn't continue speaking, so she pretended to call someone in to ask Chen Yan to leave.
"Yilin".
Song Yilin was surprised that Chen Yan called her those two words.
In normal circumstances, Xu Qingmin would not call her Yilin. Chen Yan, who was not very familiar with her, suddenly called her Yilin.
Song Yilin immediately stood up.
Chen Yan quickly said, "The company I'm giving you is absolutely clean, there's no problem at all. All the things I did in the past will disappear when I turn myself in. What you're running is a conscientious private enterprise. I only hope that someone can help me take care of my fellow villagers and the Lijiang Group that I've worked so hard to build up over half my life."
When Chen Yan spoke of taking care of his fellow villagers, a look of heartache and helplessness welled up in his eyes, causing Song Yilin to stop in her tracks as she was about to leave.
Song Yilin has always admired entrepreneurs who are serious about doing business and respect entrepreneurs who are serious about doing charity.
Chen Yan made a phone call, and his secretary, who was with him, suddenly brought over a stack of documents and a laptop.
Chen Yan opened the file on the computer and handed it to Song Yilin to look at.
Having reviewed numerous reports recently, Song Yilin could immediately spot any problems with their report.
There are no issues with tax payment, and the business scope is clean.
They have also consistently engaged in philanthropy, even giving up tax breaks that come with charitable work.
They don't even have many loans; the proportion of loans is even lower than that of the Xu Group.
With such clean financial statements, Song Yilin's first reaction wasn't that Lijiang Group was a conscientious company, but rather that their finance and legal teams were truly impressive.
Even the Xu Group couldn't do that.
Song Yilin looked at it several times but couldn't find any problems.
Perhaps Lijiang Group isn't entirely without merit; at the very least, we can learn from the cooperation between their finance and legal teams.
"Chen Yan, you have a lot of capable people under you, you don't need me at all."
Song Yilin said this from the bottom of her heart. Even her team couldn't produce such clean financial statements, and they were able to reduce the loan ratio to the lowest possible level or even none at all.
Chen Yan smiled, took the notebook, and handed her a document.
Song Yilin opened it with a puzzled look.
When I opened it, my eyes almost fell in.
Those businesses are not under the Lijiang Group, but they are very profitable. Of all the industries, KTV is probably the cleanest.
They own more than ten bars and nightclubs across the country, as well as a sand and gravel business and earthwork operations.
In the past, these types of industries were more or less involved with organized crime.
However, these were all Chen Yan's earlier businesses. These businesses are now quite clean, but the key point is that Chen Yan actually showed her the earliest profit model and operating model.
Chen Yan's earliest business was the wharf in Binzhou City.
That dock was the biggest problem; it was also where Chen Yan earned his first pot of gold.
He and his gang of brothers seized control of the Binzhou Wharf.
Looking at the timeline, Chen Yan started venturing into the martial arts world with his brothers when he was around ten years old.
In those days, many companies grew wildly and unchecked.
There are almost no completely clean companies.
However, if Chen Yan destroys the evidence himself, it won't be easy to investigate him.
But Chen Yan not only tidied it up himself, but also showed it to her.
My hands were shaking after watching Song Yilin's video.
This thing, no matter where you see it, is so deadly that you can't survive.
After reading it, Song Yilin slowly moved away from Chen Yan, not daring to look him in the eye.
Song Yilin picked up the water glass with trembling hands to calm herself down.
Chen Yan was not surprised by Song Yilin's reaction.
"Don't be afraid. The fact that I can show you this means that I dare to face this problem head-on."
"Mr. Chen, what are you planning to do?"
Chen Yan spread his hands, his eyes firm and his gaze piercing: "If you're willing, marry me, and I'll give you the cleanest part of Lijiang Group. I'll go to prison with my dirtiest part. A few years later, when I come out and meet you, I'll immediately divorce you. I'll accept whatever state Lijiang Group is in after a few years. After the divorce, we'll split Lijiang Group in half. If you're still willing to run Lijiang Group, I'll retire. If you're not willing to run it, I'll run it. You can take half of Lijiang Group's shares as your dowry and marry the person you love."
The offer was tempting, but she couldn't accept it. Even without Xu Qingmin, she couldn't use marriage as a bargaining chip.
She's already done it once, and she doesn't want to do it a second time.
She couldn't marry three times.
