Mythical Card Creator: Myriad Ghosts Night Parade at the Start - Chapter 657

However, after an accident that had nearly wiped out the entire group, the Lineage's risk assessment mechanism dictated that they should immediately cut their losses and withdraw their investment.

But I just received a message from Finance.

Not only did you fail to withdraw from this investment, you even took it upon yourself to announce publicly that you were increasing the budget by thirty percent?

Shi Jin, you're one of the successors the Lineage has raised.

Tell me, was this based on a rational business investment decision?

Or was it because that Lin Chen saved your life, and you're using the Lineage's money to repay a personal debt?"

The Shi Family Patriarch's tone was extremely calm. There was no roaring or cursing.

But Shi Jin felt an invisible pressure bearing down on him. Cold sweat instantly soaked through his back.

As a century-old business family, the ancestral precepts of putting profits and rationality above all else were carved into their bones.

Shi Jin's move, according to traditional business logic, was practically the textbook behavior of a "prodigal son"—someone who had let emotion cloud his judgment.

Even if Lin Chen had saved his life, business should still be handled as business.

Giving money privately to repay a debt was one thing. Treating the Lineage's strategic investment as a joke was another.

"Patriarch, please hear me out."

Shi Jin drew a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

His form of address for Shi Tianxiong had also changed from the familiar "Uncle" to the more formal "Patriarch."

"I know this sounds foolish.

But in my eyes, this absolutely isn't a losing deal.

This is a ticket aboard the ship to the future! It's an opportunity our Shi Family must seize!"

"Oh?" Shi Tianxiong raised an eyebrow, a trace of curiosity piqued.
