The name Zhang Qiang immediately popped into Lin Ruoxi's mind.
This made her expression turn serious, and a hint of anger flashed in her eyes.
The Zhang Group and the Lin Group were originally cooperating well.
But suddenly the Zhang Group unilaterally terminated its cooperation with the Lin Group.
Aside from Zhang Qiang's scheming, Lin Ruoxi couldn't think of any other reason.
After thinking it through, Lin Ruoxi's expression became even more somber.
The clever Lin Ruoxi knew that Zhang Qiang was trying to put pressure on her through the company.
The pressure became unbearable for her, and she eventually succumbed to Zhang Qiang.
"Zhang Qiang, you are so despicable," Lin Ruoxi said angrily.
"Mr. Lin, are you saying that Zhang Qiang was behind all of this?"
Lin Ruoxi nodded and said, "Besides him, I can't think of any other reason why the Zhang Group would suspend cooperation with us."
"His goal was to target me, force me to submit, and make me surrender..."
Just then, the landline on the table rang.
Lin Ruoxi answered the phone, her brows furrowing slightly, her expression becoming much more serious. "Alright, then have him come over to me."
"President Lin, who was that?" Yang Hong asked after Lin Ruoxi hung up the phone.
“Zhang Qiang,” Lin Ruoxi said with a serious expression.
Ten minutes later, Zhang Qiang walked into the president's office with a smug look on his face.
He looked at Lin Ruoxi in front of him, a hint of desire flashing in his eyes.
Lin Ruoxi felt extremely disgusted and repulsed by Zhang Qiang's gaze.
"Zhang Qiang, I'm very busy with work, so please speak quickly."
Zhang Qiang chuckled and then sat down opposite Lin Ruoxi. "Ruoxi, I've come to see if there's anything I can help you with."
"No need, everything is fine here," Lin Ruoxi said indifferently.
"Haha." Zhang Qiang immediately sneered upon hearing this.
"Ruoxi, please stop lying."
"You call it 'everything is fine' without the Zhang Group's business partnerships? Do you think I believe that?"
“Ruoxi, everyone knows that 70% of the Lin Group’s business comes from the Zhang Group,” Zhang Qiang said.
"If the Lin Group loses this 70% of its business, the impact on it will definitely be significant, and there is also the risk of bankruptcy."
Lin Ruoxi's face darkened, and a hint of displeasure appeared on her face.
"Zhang Qiang, you don't need to show off and be so smug in front of me."
"Although this 70% business is indeed a large part of the Lin Group's business."
"But that doesn't necessarily mean the Lin Group will go bankrupt."
"Haha!" Zhang Qiang laughed triumphantly again.
"Ruoxi, Ruoxi, even at this point, you're still stubbornly denying everything."
“I am fully aware of the Lin Group’s debts, in addition to the ongoing renovation project of the Sihai Group’s shopping mall.”
"Your cash flow is very tight, and your debt ratio has increased significantly."
"Are you sure the business can still function normally without the Zhang Group?"
Lin Ruoxi frowned, feeling extremely angry.
"Zhang Qiang, let's be frank, what do you want?"
Unfortunately, the Lin Group is currently too dependent on the Zhang Group.
Even if Lin Ruoxi dislikes Zhang Qiang, she still has to consider this point.
Hearing Lin Ruoxi say this, Zhang Qiang's face showed a smug look, thinking to himself, "Serves you right for being aloof. I've finally got you under my thumb this time."
"Ruoxi, actually, I did this out of necessity, out of desperation."
Zhang Qiang smiled, looking like he was getting a good deal but pretending to be innocent.
"I have always been sincere towards you, and I can say that I have given you my whole heart."
"But you don't give me the slightest bit of a friendly look."
"Zhang Qiang, stop saying such meaningless things."
"Just get to the point, what do you want?" Lin Ruoxi said coldly.
"Alright, since Ruoxi has said so, I won't hide anything from her."
"I want you to be my woman," Zhang Qiang said.
"Impossible!" Lin Ruoxi refused without hesitation.
Her heart already belonged to Ye Chen and would never be given to anyone else.
Even without Ye Chen, Lin Ruoxi would not be with Zhang Qiang.
"Zhang Qiang, I already have a boyfriend, Ye Chen."
"Whoosh—" Upon hearing the name Ye Chen, Zhang Qiang was filled with rage.
"Why should I? What makes Ye Chen better than me, Zhang Qiang?"
“In terms of background, resources, connections, and everything else, I, Zhang Qiang, am miles ahead of Ye Chen.”
"Why can't it be me?"
"Because I love Ye Chen," Lin Ruoxi said resolutely.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiang's anger surged rapidly.
"Fine, fine, Lin Ruoxi, you're really stubborn."
"You should think this through..." Zhang Qiang was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
"Yang Hong, see the guest out!" Lin Ruoxi said firmly.
"Zhang Qiang, please leave immediately," Yang Hong said.
Zhang Qiang glared angrily at Lin Ruoxi and said coldly, "Lin Ruoxi, you will regret your decision today. You will come begging to me."
After saying this, Zhang Qiang left the office, seething with anger.
"President Lin, what should we do next?" Yang Hong asked.
"Zhang Qiang will definitely not let this go."
"He might retaliate against the Lin Group, and then our Lin Group would be in trouble..."
Lin Ruoxi was also troubled by this, as she didn't really have any good solutions at the moment.
"President Lin, how about we seek help from Sihai Group?"
"After all, we are in charge of the large shopping malls under the Sihai Group."
“If something happens to us, the renovation project will definitely be severely affected.”
"So we turned to the Sihai Group for help, they should..."
