He thought she wanted to ask someone else for help, like Feng Xixuan or something.
So, he refused without even thinking. But she actually intended to take out her money? Gong Chengjue was genuinely quite surprised.
Su Ziqing nodded, "Mm."
"Silly girl." Gong Chengjue's expression turned serious, and he reached out to pat her head. "Dismiss that idea."
"Why?" He was short of money and urgently needed cash. Although she didn't have much, it should be enough to ease his immediate crisis, right?
Gong Chengjue said to her very seriously, "First of all, I currently have no plans to have my company invested in by others."
"I have no intention of investing in your company." She frowned. Did he think she was trying to take advantage of her current predicament and buy shares?
“It’s even more dangerous if you don’t have that thought.” Gong Chengjue gave her a good lesson. “Nobody’s money comes from thin air.”
Before she could explain, he continued, "Are you planning to casually take out a billion or so and spend it like it's only a few million?"
Su Ziqing shook her head, "I don't have that many billions, and it would take some time to sell my assets..." She really didn't have that much cash in her account at the moment.
Gong Chengjue wanted to laugh, but couldn't. "I need a lot of funds." He was already very touched by her thoughtfulness.
This silly girl, does she actually want to take out all her money?
As the most beloved granddaughter of Grandpa Su, and having inherited more than 30% of the assets, Su Ziqing was quite wealthy, as he knew.
But he never wanted her money.
A company's account for business purposes is one thing, a private account is another.
“But…” Su Ziqing frowned, looking at him, “You helped me like this before too. And we’re not, we’re not…”
Gong Chengjue raised an eyebrow. "Not what?"
She asked very seriously, "Boyfriend and girlfriend?"
"If you could get hundreds of millions just by getting a girlfriend and playing the victim, then I think men wouldn't need to do anything but deceive you girls." That would be easier than any business, wouldn't it?
Su Ziqing felt that she and he were talking at cross purposes.
He's not playing the victim; he's genuinely facing a problem, okay?
She wanted to say something more, but Gong Chengjue shook his head, "No need to say anything."
He's not so desperate that he has to use his girlfriend's 'secret stash' of money.
"Then consider it a loan from me. You can pay me back later... um, you can pay me back after you sell your assets." How could he refuse such a good deal?
Gong Chengjue chuckled, "You... how could you be so naive about the business world?"
She's not a child anymore, why doesn't she investigate things more thoroughly?
"What can you do if I don't pay it back?" There are plenty of people in this world who don't pay their debts.
"Gong Chengjue, why do you have to portray yourself so badly?" Su Ziqing was somewhat exasperated, as she considered their relationship as one.
He, however, viewed her as an adversary to him.
Gong Chengjue looked at her earnestly, "Because, people can sometimes be this bad, don't put yourself in such a passive position."
Even if that person is him.
Gong Chengjue raised his hand and pinched her nose. "I appreciate your kindness."
"Male chauvinism." Su Ziqing suddenly thought of this term and blurted it out.
Yes, the way he is now is a clear sign of male chauvinism!
He's a chauvinist; he believes only women can use his money, not the other way around.
Gong Chengjue laughed when he heard her description. "Why do you say that?"
"You're saying all this because you feel ashamed to use my money, right?"
"..." There is a little bit, but it's not the biggest reason. The biggest reason is, as he just said, that he doesn't need it.
"Whatever. You're the one who has something to do anyway. If you won't accept my help, then you can do whatever you want." Su Ziqing didn't realize how childish she was when she said this.
Seeing this adorable side of her, Gong Chengjue's smile deepened.
"Are you angry?" Her pouty face is so endearing.
Seeing her reveal more and more expressions in front of him, Gong Chengjue felt his heart soften.
"Don't be angry. I can't interfere in your affairs anyway, but you can easily do whatever you want with me." I'm just frustrated because the disparity in our relationship is so huge.
He chuckled softly.
"why are you laughing?"
"You're so cute." He held her hand and played with it, then glanced at the time on his watch; he really should go.
She had noticed him checking the time, and this time she stopped making faces and said again, very seriously, "It's only a drop in the ocean, but I really want to help you."
"I know." Gong Chengjue kissed her forehead and said very seriously, "I really don't need your help right now. I promise you, if you really need money, I'll exchange it for the most valuable shares of my company."
Su Ziqing: "..."
Luo Jinhan, standing outside the ward, was utterly bewildered. "Mr. Gong, would taking Miss Su's money really hurt your male pride?"
"I have to go." Gong Chengjue reluctantly pulled her into his arms. "I'll miss you."
Su Ziqing was about to say something when she heard "I miss you" and paused, then smiled gently, "I miss you too."
Gong Chengjue released her, and Su Ziqing stood up, picked up his coat that was placed to the side, and put it on him.
He was still a little dizzy. If he could, he would like to lie here and rest for the night, holding her and not thinking about the worries that were about to come.
I just want to give my brain a good rest.
But, it's not possible.
"About the Su family..." He put on his coat and asked about her.
Su Ziqing looked relaxed. "It's nothing. I'm just observing." She didn't tell him that Su Xiaoman had also joined the 'battle'.
Someone who should have been eliminated long ago suddenly made a comeback.
Seeing the expression on her face, Gong Chengjue didn't suspect anything and nodded, "Don't run back and forth. Things aren't peaceful in City A. You should go back there for a while." Because things are even more turbulent in the capital.
Su Ziqing hummed in agreement, "I know."
"Mr. Gong." Luo Jinhan suddenly rushed in with a serious expression.
Gong Chengjue gave him a cold look. Had he wasted all those years as a special assistant? Had all his maturity and composure gone to waste?
"A lot of people suddenly came to the Gong family. It's possible that something happened to the old man." Gong Chengjue and the old man were staying in the same hospital, but in different wards.
Upon hearing this, both Gong Chengjue and Su Ziqing's expressions changed, and Gong Chengjue immediately walked out of the ward.
Su Ziqing didn't say anything and jogged to catch up with Gong Chengjue's pace.
………………………
Many people from the Gong family did come; Old Master Gong did indeed have an unexpected situation.
No one wants to be absent at crucial moments.
