If I hadn't just witnessed his awe-inspiring and dignified appearance, I would never have guessed that this man was like a decisive and ruthless god just a moment ago.
"Mr. Su, you're too kind. I'm sorry to have disturbed your work." I subconsciously used polite language again, because I once again clearly realized the huge gap between us.
Secretary Ji came in with me, walked to the desk, quickly gathered up the scattered documents, tidied them up, and then turned and left.
I turned a blind eye and pretended not to know anything.
"Miss Jiang, have you designed my clothes?" Su Shenglin asked, pulling me back from my reverie.
I was stunned; the words stuck in my throat, and I couldn't get them out.
Su Shenglin noticed my unusual behavior but remained patient: "What's wrong? Is my mother putting pressure on you?"
"No, no!" I quickly denied, my tongue tumbling out in my haste.
I didn't bring any design drawings with me, nor did I intend to discuss making clothes with him.
There is no other way but to tell the truth now.
"Mr. Su, I'm sorry, I lied to you. I didn't come here today to talk about the clothes at all." In the end, I confessed, feeling extremely guilty afterward.
Su Shenglin, on the other hand, was calm and easygoing. He raised his hand and gestured towards the sofa in the reception area, saying, "Let's go sit down and talk about it."
I turned around, walked over to the sofa, and sat down.
He went to the tea station, poured some tea, and brought it over personally. "Miss Jiang, please speak frankly."
I watched as his well-defined fingers held the teacup and placed it in front of me, my mind going blank. Suddenly, I turned to him and said, "Mr. Su, actually, I have something I need your help with."
“I have said that you don’t need to use honorifics when referring to me.”
"Oh..." I was so nervous that I swallowed hard. "I want to borrow money from you... no, from you."
Finally, I said it, my hands clenched tightly together, waiting for rejection, or even ridicule.
Have you encountered any difficulties lately?
"Um……"
How much do you need?
I was taken aback and abruptly looked up at him. "Mr. Su, are you willing to lend me money?"
Su Shenglin smiled and relaxed, leaning back.
He was handsome, had a great temperament, and exuded a captivating charm in every gesture.
I gradually relaxed a bit.
"It's just borrowing money, not borrowing my life," he replied humorously.
I smiled, secretly delighted, but then I hesitated when I thought about the amount I needed to borrow.
"If possible, I'd like to borrow... fifty million." I held up my hand and gestured.
He didn't say anything, and I suddenly became nervous again.
It must be that 50 million is too much, which scared him.
"Is the difficulty you're facing something that money can solve?" he asked curiously.
I suddenly realized that he was worried that I might be facing some kind of special difficulty because I had borrowed so much money.
"Yes, money can solve it."
"Okay, when do you need it?"
"Can we do it today?"
"Give me your account number, and I'll have Ji Ming transfer it to you later." He answered casually, as if I were only borrowing five hundred yuan.
I am deeply grateful.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Su. I'm so grateful." I was very excited and thanked him repeatedly. Then I suddenly remembered something, so I quickly turned around, grabbed the briefcase, and took out a document from it.
“Mr. Su, this is the loan agreement, fifty million… I may need five years to repay it, and the interest rate is three percentage points higher than the bank rate. If I do not repay the principal and interest within five years, you have the right to dispose of my company.”
Fearing he wouldn't believe me, I took out another document. "This is my company's information. Don't worry, my company is worth more than fifty million, you definitely won't lose out. Actually, I did consider selling the company to raise money, but there wasn't enough time. If you're worried about me breaching the contract, we can have it notarized after signing the agreement."
After making up my mind last night, I thought through all the details.
To show my sincerity, I am willing to use the company as a guarantor.
The document was handed over, but Su Shenglin didn't even look at it, simply raising his hand and slightly withdrawing it.
"No need. I'll lend you the money. No company is needed as collateral, and no notarization is required. You can pay me back slowly as you have the money."
I was so surprised that my mouth was half-open and my eyes widened. After a long while, I asked incredulously, "You trust me that much? What if I... renege on the debt?"
He smiled elegantly, "I haven't found anyone who dares to renege on their debt to me, Su Shenglin, yet—Miss Jiang, are you going to set this precedent?"
I was stunned, and then it dawned on me.
I'm so anxious I'm going crazy!
How could I forget? He's Su Shenglin! Who would dare owe him money and not pay it back? Unless they don't want to live in Jiangcheng anymore.
"No, no, I won't, and I wouldn't dare..." I blushed deeply, took back the documents, and promised again, "I will definitely repay it as soon as possible."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Ji Ming knocked on the door and came in.
"Chairman Su, Chief of Staff Zhang has arrived."
I knew he was busy again, so I quickly got up to say goodbye: "Thank you, Mr. Su. I won't bother you any longer."
Su Shenglin stood up and looked at me with his usual gentle and warm tone, "Don't rush with the clothes, take care of your personal matters first."
"Okay, thank you." I was moved to tears again.
As I left the arsenal, my bank card chimed.
The 50 million has actually arrived in my account!
In an instant, my fondness for Su Shenglin reached an overwhelming level.
Especially when compared to a scumbag like Gu Yanqing.
————
The auction was held in Shanghai, which is a two-hour drive from Wuhan.
I worked overtime to finish making a dress for Mrs. Su. I slept for less than five hours before getting up and heading to Shanghai.
In the past, I always went to auctions with Gu Yanqing.
I don't need to worry about anything; I can just enjoy the show and learn something new.
