“These documents are very important, and I don’t trust anyone else to handle them.”
"Dad, I will definitely work hard to learn how to do my job well so that I can help you."
"Only in this way can the mission be completed," Han Lingxi silently added in her mind.
“You’re just a young girl, what kind of job do you need? Just be happy, go shopping with your friends, go on trips, don’t worry about the company, Dad can take care of you.”
"By the way, Dad, what did Ah Chen want to talk to you about?"
Han Lingxi remembered Gu Jingchen who had gone out and asked her father.
“Ah Chen wants to do a project, but he doesn’t have enough funds. He hopes that Dad can cooperate with him, but this project is too risky. If it fails, the entire Ya Cheng Company may be lost.”
"Dad, what kind of project is it?"
Han Lingxi couldn't help but wonder, if Gu Jingchen was personally involved in this project, it must be very important.
"It's a government project with a wide reach, and the benefits if it succeeds are considerable."
"Isn't Dad going to participate?"
“I’m not participating anymore. Yacheng is developing very steadily now, there’s no need to take any more risks. Shengyang had a financial problem, which is why Achen had no choice but to take the risk.”
Han Lingxi was surprised that Shengyang, known as a business empire, had a financial loophole. After thinking about it carefully, Han Lingxi understood. Shengyang's peak was after Gu Jingchen took over. In her previous life, Shengyang was indeed unmatched, but now Shengyang has not yet fully developed.
So it seems that Gu Jingchen's rise to prominence was due to this project. Han's father must not have participated in it. In her previous life, Han Lingxi was unconscious, and although Han's father didn't say it, he naturally resented Gu Jingchen and wouldn't cooperate with him.
Gu Jingchen needed funds, so he probably brought a lot of small companies to work on this project. Those companies all made further progress as a result, while Yacheng Company stagnated and naturally couldn't compare to those companies that were developing well. It's like rowing against the current; if you don't move forward, you fall behind. That's probably why the Han family's company went bankrupt.
Han Lingxi felt this was a good opportunity to get her father and Gu Jingchen to cooperate. This way, Yacheng would develop better and would not be in danger of bankruptcy. Moreover, it would not benefit those small companies.
“Dad, our family and Uncle Gu’s family have been friends for generations. Since Shengyang is in trouble, we should help him out.”
Han Lingxi wanted to use the relationship between the two families to persuade her father to participate in the project.
"Xiaoxi, you don't understand the rules of the business world. A personal relationship is a personal relationship, and business is business. They cannot be mixed up."
"But……"
Han Lingxi was interrupted by her father before she could finish speaking.
"Xiaoxi, has Achen been looking for you?"
Han Lingxi remained silent for a long time before nodding.
“Xiaoxi, I watched Achen grow up. I know his personality. He is definitely an excellent businessman, but he will not be a good husband. He will do anything for profit. You will not be happy with him.”
Han's father believed that Han Lingxi only allowed him to participate in the project because she liked Gu Jingchen. Before Han Lingxi could explain, Han's father continued.
“In the past, Ah Chen was cold and indifferent to you, not caring about you at all. Now he is being so attentive to you. It’s hard to say that it’s not because Ah Chen needs to use the funds injected by Ya Cheng Company.”
"Dad, I understand, I'll be careful."
Han Lingxi's thoughts wavered. She felt that Gu Jingchen was being too attentive. It turned out that he wanted Han's father to invest in him. He really had ulterior motives. But then she thought that the system's perception of Gu Jingchen should not be wrong, and his goodwill towards her should also be real. So Han's father must be overthinking it.
