Shen Qingyan lay in bed, looking at the photo on her phone, lost in a daze, a faint smile filling her face.
She zoomed in on Tang Chen's face in the photo, then zoomed in on Tang Yao's, and finally zoomed in on her own...
No matter how she looked at it, she was satisfied.
She felt that this might be the second most satisfying photo of her life.
The first was the family portrait she took with her parents at her graduation ceremony...
After thinking for a long time.
She opened WeChat and changed her profile picture to this photo.
After changing it, she returned to the recent contacts page.
Shen Qingyan couldn't help being stunned.
She saw.
Tang Chen's profile picture had somehow also been changed to this photo.
The actions of the two of them were completely in unison!
Lin Qingying was still dreaming of becoming the CEO, saving the Shen Corporation, becoming an industry myth, and doubling his net worth.
Suddenly, a phone call startled him awake.
"Manager Lin, the investors just contacted me."
"Contacted you?"
Lin Qingying let out a long yawn. "Did they say when they'll inject the capital?"
"They said... after comprehensive research and consideration, they found that the Shen Corporation does not meet their investment conditions, so the previous investment plan is... canceled!"
Hearing what was said on the other end of the phone.
"What?!"
Lin Qingying instantly sobered up, bolting upright from the bed. "Are you kidding me?!"
"Canceled?"
"How can you just say it's canceled?"
"Where is the basic sense of contract?! "
The voice on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, then said, "The other party merely met with President Shen to discuss financing matters, but nothing was confirmed, and no contract was signed. How can you talk about any sense of contract?"
"How are you talking to me? Do you not want to fucking work anymore?"
Lin Qingying, who was already panicked and furious upon hearing the news, felt anger rush straight to his throat. He cursed fiercely, took a deep breath, and said, "Go and contact the other party right now, and make them reconsider the investment..."
"No, you immediately notify the other party and tell them I want to meet with them."
"Tell them the investment plan can be changed, and we can widen the ratio of equity to investment so they can acquire more shares of the Shen Group with a minimum investment!"
The panic in his heart made Lin Qingying's voice tremble, and he even began to speak incoherently.
However.
Before he could finish, an angry roar from the earpiece cut him off.
"Go fuck your mother!"
"Let me tell you, I, your father, fucking don't want to work here anymore!"
: A bunch of old bastards! Lin Qingying trembling with fear! 9th update begging for collection
"What did you say?" Lin Qingying was stunned, asking in disbelief.
"I said, I am not working anymore!"
"Are you fucking deaf?"
The angry cursing from the phone receiver was even more furious and hysterical: "You old bastards, every time something happens, you shrink back, and the moment there's an advantage to take, you all jump out to oppress President Shen."
"Has it been easy for President Shen to manage the group all these years? Without President Shen, the Shen Corporation would have collapsed long ago. Where would you shareholders even be?"
"Still talking about using less investment for more shares..."
"You don't even look to see if the Shen Corporation has any reason to be invested in. Are there good projects? Or good plans?"
"Let me tell you, if it weren't for the value brought by President Shen's management, and if President Shen stopped serving as CEO and left only you group of old dogs, it wouldn't be worth a single cent, not worth a piece of dog shit!"
"You still want to personally meet with them. Do you fucking deserve it?"
"More than twenty shareholders, every single one of you is a moron, scheming back and forth without ever thinking about how to develop better, all fucking scheming against your own people."
"I've long been sick of you bunch of idiots. If I didn't have a wife and kids to support, I would have resigned long ago."
"Now let me tell you, I've got somewhere else to go, and I'm not playing your game anymore!"
"As for that half a month's salary of mine, you probably won't pay it anyway, so I don't want it either. Keep it for you bunch of old bastards to buy coffins!"
"Beep beep beep..."
The rapid busy tone on the phone made Lin Qingying feel a tingling sensation rush from his neck straight to the top of his head.
With his vision darkening and nearly suffering a cerebral hemorrhage, he clutched his chest and breathed heavily. "Bastard!"
"Bastard..."
"Bastard!!!"
He let out a hysterical roar.
But he quickly calmed down.
Lying back against the bed, his face was filled with utter dejection.
Gu Yang, who had just been on the phone with him, was completely right.
The Shen Group possessed no investment value whatsoever.
The other party had given up on the investment!
Their only way out was to find another investment somehow.
But...
Even before the Shen Corporation was facing collapse like it was now, they couldn't find any investment.
Now that it had reached the brink of bankruptcy, finding another investment was completely, utterly impossible...
Which meant.
The Shen Corporation was done for!
Thinking of this.
Lin Qingying's teeth trembled uncontrollably.
Once the Shen Corporation went bankrupt.
As a shareholder, he would be saddled with the debt corresponding to his shares.
And just a few days ago, he had emptied out all his savings to sustain the group's projects...
His savings were gone, the group was about to go bankrupt, and he would be burdened with a mountain of debt...
By then, his only outcome would be...
Going to jail!
Lin Qingying's hands and feet grew cold, and his heart was filled with regret.
He didn't want to go to jail...
What should he do...
He frantically wrung his brain for a solution.
Yet how could there possibly be a solution in this situation?
A long time passed.
He couldn't think of anything at all...
Lin Qingying's teeth even started chattering uncontrollably.
But right then...
He suddenly thought of something, as if grabbing a life-saving straw, and his eyes widened.
"Right!"
"Buy shares!"
"That phone call!"
Lin Qingying began flipping through his call logs.
