Chapter 294 His Difficulties (4)
Li Jing returned to the terrace before anyone could speak.
"How is it? Have they all left?" Lin Zhou asked her.
"Let's go!" Li Jing said, "Your dad asked me to tell you to take care of yourself!"
"Okay, leave them alone!"
Lin Zhou opened the folder and asked everyone to sit together again.
"Since Lin Hai asked, you all want to know and are willing to lend me a hand. Thank you all in advance. But having said that, since you are here to help, then do your best and don't make things difficult for yourself! I still say that helping is a favor, not helping is my duty. If you have something to say, just say it directly, okay!"
"Okay, stop nagging!"
"Just say what you want to say!" several people responded.
"Okay, then I'll just say it straight!"
He pulled a thick stack of documents from a folder and handed it to Li Jing, instructing her to distribute them to the people by name. He then slowly said, "The website is experiencing its most rapid growth right now. Joining now will definitely not be a loss for any of you. This is the equity transfer contract I drafted. The specific amount is not specified. You can decide for yourself based on your ability. Between 5% and 10%, you can invest as much as you can. I'm not after your money. I just want you to join and provide a guarantee for Li Jing and Tian Xin so that the website can continue to develop well! That way, I won't have any worries!"
"What does this mean?" Li Jing looked at the stack of "equity transfer agreements" in her hand and was momentarily confused. "You want to run away?"
"I don't want to run away, I just want to leave temporarily! I'm going to go back and take care of my business first, and let you guys take over for me for a while!" Lin Zhou looked at Li Jing and said, "Even if they are here, you should pay more attention to yourself. Don't just sit back and wait for others to reap the benefits. How can it be so easy?
Besides, after these shares are distributed, you will be the decision-maker of the company. If there is anything, please discuss it with them more often!"
"So, this is your solution?" Tian Xin continued, "Didn't you say something happened to the company? What do you mean by giving up all your shares in the website?"
"Yeah, how can this be considered a favor?" Gao Cheng looked at the equity agreement that Li Jing handed over and asked with a smile, "No matter how you look at it, it seems like we're taking advantage of you while you're in trouble!"
"You can't say that, and you shouldn't think that way either!" Lin Zhou explained, "The website was originally planning to find a second round of investors. If it wasn't you, someone else would have come in. I'm looking for you out of selfish motives. For the sake of our friendship, after I leave, please help them out.
Besides, you don't understand what's going on with my company. It's not a matter of lacking money or people right now. I have money and I have people. My dad's goal is to get me back, and he can't torture me to death! It's just a matter of losing a few old customers. I can go back and contact them, and the problem will be solved. It's really not a big deal!"
"As for the website," he turned and said to Tian Xin, "I was planning to leave it to you as a gift once I had it running well. Now I can only give you half of it!"
Looking down, I saw an agreement that Li Jing had just handed over.
It was placed right in front of Tian Xin. Unlike the others, her agreement was marked in bold capital letters as "Gift Agreement," not "Transfer." The specific amount was also clearly stated—20 percent.
"Are you crazy? Why are you giving me this?" Tian Xin glanced at the agreement and pushed it towards him again: "I told you last time, I don't want this! I'll consider this a gift from you for waiving the first registration fee for the villagers."
"So what did I say that day? Do you remember?" Lin Zhou leaned closer to her, a malicious smile on his face: "Do you want me to say it again? Or should I help you recall it?"
“…Forget it, that’s not necessary!”
Even at this time, he could still laugh and make such a joke. Tian Xin was really impressed!
Seeing her blushing and turning her head to the side, avoiding his gaze and not looking at him, Lin Zhou handed her a pen with a doting smile on his face: "Then sign it, don't hold back!"
“…”
Several people around, including Li Jing, looked towards Tian Xin at this moment.
Should I answer it or not?
Tian Xin hesitated, countless memories flooding back before her eyes. She watched her hand slowly rise, but just as it was about to catch the hand, it retracted.
Then, without waiting for others to react, she stood up and ran out quickly!
There was an office behind the terrace, so she took the elevator down to the first floor and ran to the sidewalk outside the office building. Then, she sat on a bench by the roadside and watched people passing by.
The weather in early summer was extremely hot and humid, and there was no wind on the street. She was sweating profusely, but she realized she didn't have any tissues with her, so she went to a small shop nearby to buy some.
Cicadas chirped loudly overhead as she crossed the street, walking aimlessly along the sidewalk. Her mind was so full of thoughts that she had forgotten to go to the store to buy paper.
“Drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip—”
The phone kept ringing and vibrating. She knew it was Lin Zhou, but she didn't want to answer it.
When the sound rang for the third time, Lin Zhou caught up.
Like her, he was sweating and panting.
"Why are you running?" Lin Zhou held her with one hand, held his knee with the other hand and stopped, hunched over and gasping for breath.
His suit was gone, and his white shirt was soaked with sweat and stuck to his body, his firm muscles faintly visible.
Tian Xin turned her head and quickly ran to the store to buy some tissues and handed them to him.
"Go back, I want to be alone!"
"If you don't want to, I won't force you." Lin Zhou panted, speaking word by word, "But could you please not scare me like this? You suddenly showed up like this, and you didn't even answer the phone. You..." He was still hunched over, holding his knees, gasping for breath, "Where do you want me to find you?"
"I know you're doing this for my own good. You're building the website to help me and our village." Tian Xin still held out her hand, handing Lin Zhou the paper, but he didn't take it. She just kept holding it up: "Wipe it off! You're sweating all over!"
Lin Zhou stood up straight, took the paper and wiped it. His breathing became calmer and he was not panting as much.
She continued, "But you're so good. Your kindness to me made me feel like I was hallucinating! But it all seemed so real! We've been together for so long, and I didn't even notice you were in trouble, and I had to find out from others. You were in trouble, and I couldn't help in the slightest, yet you still had the nerve to accept such a generous gift from you. How can I accept it?"
