Volume 5: Twenty Undoubted Chapter 368 Yuan Xudong’s Dream
The sun rose and the moon set, and three days passed in a flash. Pulin Capital was facing a crisis of life and death. In the president's office, Rebecca and Zhou Xun sat together to discuss ways to solve the dilemma. Looking at Zhou Xun with a worried look on his face, Rebecca hesitated for a moment and said:
"Su Hang asked me to tell you that he can't come today!"
Looking up at Rebecca who was delivering the message for Su Hang, Zhou Xun frowned slightly and said:
"Why didn't he tell me himself?"
"Last night, Su Hang went home and told his father about Pu Ling's condition, which made the old man so angry that he was sent to the hospital!"
"Is Mr. Su okay?"
"I just came back from the hospital. He's fine now, but I won't see Su Hang no matter what. I wanted to try again and ask the old man for some money to hold on for a while, so that we would have time to find out who the traitor is. But now there's no hope at all!"
"Yeah?"
Looking at the somewhat discouraged Rebecca, Zhou Xun doubted for the first time whether his persistence was correct. He sighed softly and said:
"There are fewer and fewer people in the office these days. Do you think I made a wrong move?"
"When Su Hang was in the hospital, he was still calling to solicit investment. When I came back, he also talked to two companies. We haven't given up yet. Isn't it a bit early for you to say this now?"
Looking at Rebecca who had always supported him, Zhou Xun said directly:
"I just received a call. The one-yuan promotion at Yixian was too fierce. Hehegou has already burned through all the money. After clearing out the goods this time, Hehegou's unmanned supermarket will no longer be able to provide goods. I also asked Ma Dongsheng's people, and the answer was the same. If we can't find the traitor, Longteng Technology Group will definitely not enter the market!"
"What should we do then?"
Rebecca heard that Hehegou's money had been burned out, its unmanned supermarkets could no longer provide goods, Pulin's traitor had not been found, and Ma Dongsheng's Longteng Technology Group was unwilling to enter the market. She said anxiously:
"If there are no products to sell in unmanned supermarkets, what will happen to the market share we have already captured?"
"It'll be alright for now!"
Looking at the anxious Rebecca, Zhou Xun forced a smile and said:
"I have invested 50 million yuan myself, so I can still hold on for a while. We still have a chance. As long as we find out the traitor, we can immediately turn the tables once Ma Dongsheng's Longteng Technology Group enters the game. Guanglun has a technological advantage, plus Longteng Technology Group's massive funds and offline sales channels, we will definitely be able to defeat Yixian in one fell swoop and become the leading company in the unmanned supermarket market!"
Hearing that Zhou Xun invested 50 million yuan himself, Rebecca opened her eyes slightly wide and said in surprise:
"Where did you get the 50 million?"
"I mortgaged my property and equity because I was in a hurry, and only managed to scrape together 50 million!"
"Are you crazy?"
Rebecca was shocked to hear that Zhou Xun had mortgaged his house and shares to raise 50 million to invest in Hehegou, a project that could fail at any time:
"If the project fails, do you want to be in debt for the rest of your life? Let me ask you a question, is the Hehegou project worth it?"
"worth!"
After taking a look at Rebecca , Zhou Xun said firmly:
"I don't want to lose, I want to win. Now that I've made my move, I'll bet everything I have on it. If I don't succeed, I'll die!"
"You're willing to risk everything you have, or die if you don't succeed?"
Looking at Zhou Xun who looked like a gambler who had lost all his money, Rebecca smiled sarcastically and said:
"Zhou Xun, do you think you are so awesome now and everyone should thank you? Do you know how long this little money will last?"
"I don't know, and I don't want to know!"
After taking a look at Rebecca who looked confused, Zhou Xun said directly:
"But I believe that it will be enough for us to wait for the light wheel and for Ma Dongsheng's Longteng Technology Group to join the game!"
"Do you believe it's worth? Is it worth 50 million?"
"I'm willing to bet on this one!"
"Crazy, you are really crazy!"
Looking at the stubborn Zhou Xun, Rebecca couldn't help but shake her head in disappointment:
"I shouldn't have supported you at that time. Yes, you are a gold medal investor. Every business you invested in was successful. You have never failed once, not even once. But this does not mean that you will never fail. Look at what you are like now."
Looking at the silent Zhou Xun, Rebecca cursed with a hint of disappointment:
"You are now a gambler, a real gambler, a coward who can't afford to lose. What's wrong with failure? You don't want to lose, you only want to win. You bet everything you have, and you'll die if you don't succeed. Do you think this sounds like what a gold medal investor would say?"
"Are you free now?"
After taking a look at the angry Rebecca, Zhou Xun lay down on the sofa in the office to rest with his eyes closed and said:
"Please help me contact the people from Hehegou about the next business. I'm a little tired and want to rest for a while!"
"you……"
Looking at Zhou Xun, who was exhausted and had already risked everything, Rebecca sighed softly, feeling a little sorry for him and said:
"Then you take a rest. I'll take Jiang Xiaoguo with me!"
"Okay, remember to close the door when you go out, and call me if you have any problem. Bye!"
"Got it. Just have a good rest. I'll take care of it. Bye!"
…
At night, Jiang Xiaoguo came back from Hehegou after doing some business. Zhou Xun called her to his office and said with a smile:
"It's so late, why don't you go back?"
"I have to send an email to Mr. Matt from Hehegou later. Rebecca specifically told me to do that before she left!"
"Okay, then when you've finished sending them, I'll take you back to school!"
"No need, Mr. Zhou, my boyfriend will come to pick me up later!"
Looking at Zhou Xun who was depressed, Jiang Xiaoguo hesitated for a moment, then comforted him:
"Mr. Zhou, I believe Pu Ling will be able to come back to life. As long as I can still be of use, I am willing to stay!"
"Yeah?"
Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo's sincere attitude, Zhou Xun smiled and said:
"Jiang Xiaoguo, thank you!"
"fine!"
Jiang Xiaoguo smiled and prepared to leave the CEO's office.
"I, I'm going to go out and send an email first!"
"Well, go ahead!"
Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo's back as she left his office, Zhou Xun's eyes were deep, and no one knew what he was thinking.
…
The next morning, Jiang Xiaoguo came to work at Pulin Capital as usual. Su Hang asked someone to call her into his office. Jiang Xiaoguo knocked on the door and said:
"Boss Su, are you looking for me?"
"Xiao Guo, please sit down!"
Seeing Jiang Xiaoguo, Su Hang quickly asked her to sit down, poured her a glass of water and said with a smile:
"Come, have a glass of water!"
"Thanks!"
Sitting on the sofa in the office, looking at Su Hang who was so polite to her, Jiang Xiaoguo smiled unnaturally:
"Boss Su, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Um……"
Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo with a smile on her face, Su Hang couldn't say anything when he thought about the decision they had discussed. He handed over a document that he had been holding in his hand and said:
"See for yourself!"
"What?"
Looking at Su Hang who was speaking hesitantly, Jiang Xiaoguo picked up the document on the table and took a look. It turned out to be the employee resignation agreement of Pulin Capital. Seeing her name written on the resignation agreement, Jiang Xiaoguo was stunned, then looked at Su Hang and said in confusion:
"This is a separation agreement, and my name is written on it. What does it mean?"
Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo who opened her eyes slightly, Su Hang said in a deep voice:
"Xiao Guo, we urgently need a mole!"
"so what?"
Looking at Su Hang, Jiang Xiaoguo was obviously a little bit unable to accept it.
"Why me? Whose idea was this? Was it you, Mr. Zhou, or Rebecca? Or was it all of you who came up with this idea?"
Looking at the angry Jiang Xiaoguo, Su Hang hesitated for a moment and said:
"It was my idea, but Zhou Xun and Rebecca both agreed. Don't worry, this is only temporary. Once we find the real traitor, we will definitely clear your name!"
"Yeah?"
Looking at Su Hang who wanted to take the blame for being the traitor, Jiang Xiaoguo said sarcastically:
"If we can't find the real insider, will I be confirmed as the insider? When you did this, did you think of me? Our circle is so small. If I am confirmed as the insider and leak the company's business secrets, even if the company does not hold me responsible and just asks me to resign, will I still be able to find a good job in the future? Will other investment companies dare to hire me?"
After that, without waiting for Su Hang to explain, Jiang Xiaoguo stood up with the resignation agreement on the table, left his office, and angrily went to Zhou Xun's CEO's office. He broke in without even knocking on the door, then threw the resignation agreement on his desk and angrily asked:
"What's going on? Why? Why do I have to take the blame?"
"The light wheel is basically completed. We must get Ma Dongsheng's money within the next few days. But if we don't find the traitor, Ma Dongsheng will never invest in us. If we don't get Ma Dongsheng's money, there will be no Pulin Capital in the financial circle!"
Looking at Zhou Xun with a heavy face, Jiang Xiaoguo said expressionlessly:
"so what?"
"So we have to let one of our own be the scapegoat for the time being!"
"Just because I have always supported you and believed in you, I have to be the scapegoat, right?"
"Xiao Guo, all this is temporary, you don't have to care so much!"
Looking at Zhou Xun who didn't take his professional ethics seriously at all, Jiang Xiaoguo said coldly:
"Then should I thank you? You made me feel valuable. Thank you for treating me as your own. You can sacrifice me in exchange for greater benefits!"
"Xiao Guo, I'm sorry, firing you is the only option I have. I hope you can understand me and help me!"
"Do you still need to beg me? You are the president of Pulin. If you say so, I will definitely be fired!"
Looking at Zhou Xun, Jiang Xiaoguo had never been so disappointed as now:
"I've been in Puling for seven months. I've always known that you're very rational and calm, but why me?"
"Because I like you!"
"What?"
"Because I like you!"
"You like me?"
Seeing Zhou Xun repeating that he liked her, Jiang Xiaoguo not only didn't believe it, but even wanted to laugh:
"Is that how you like me? You want me to take the blame and be the scapegoat, right?"
"Jiang Xiaoguo!"
Seeing Jiang Xiaoguo refusing to believe him, Zhou Xun stood up from behind his desk, propped his hands on the table, looked into her eyes and said seriously:
"Jiang Xiaoguo, I like you!"
Seeing Zhou Xun so serious, Jiang Xiaoguo was obviously stunned. Before she could come back to her senses, Zhou Xun sat down in his boss chair again, looking helpless and said:
"But I do have more important things right now. Compared to Pulin and my work, love only accounts for 10% at most!"
"Okay, you don't have to say anything!"
Jiang Xiaoguo was moved for nothing. Looking at Zhou Xun, who was even more of a scumbag than Yuan Xudong, she was almost pissed off. It was the first time she heard of the 10% love theory. With this 10% ratio, he still had the nerve to say "I like you" so seriously. Even if he liked pets like cats and dogs, it wouldn't be just 10%, right?
In front of Zhou Xun, Jiang Xiaoguo signed the resignation agreement, took off her work badge, and threw them to him, along with the pen he had given her. Then she left the office without looking back, and left Pulin Capital, where she had worked for seven months.
…
In the afternoon, Jiang Xiaoguo returned to school from Pulin Capital. She was in a bad mood because she was unemployed, so she called said:
"Yuan Xudong, where are you now?"
"I'm preparing for my graduation project in the dormitory. Do you miss me?"
"No, who missed you?"
"Then why are you calling me?"
"I'm unemployed and have no money to eat. What should I do?"
"That's easy. Where are you? I'll treat you to a nice meal. Old Place Tea Restaurant, Lan Xi Boutique, or InterContinental Hotel will do!"
"Since you are so thoughtful and want to treat me to something good, then I will give you this opportunity. I will wait for you downstairs of our dormitory!"
"Okay, thank you Master Xiaoguo!"
"You're welcome, come quickly!"
"Got it, wait for me five minutes!"
"Okay, five minutes then, start the timer now!"
"Okay, I'll hang up first. See you later!"
"Okay, see you later, bye!"
"Bye-Bye!"
…
Five minutes later, downstairs in the girls' dormitory, Jiang Xiaoguo stood there with her pregnant belly slightly protruding. Yuan Xudong drove up in the white Tesla electric car that once belonged to her, stopped in front of her and said with a smile:
"Xiaoguo, get in the car!"
"OK!"
…
After dinner, Yuan Xudong walked with Jiang Xiaoguo, found a secluded place to sit down, and listened to her nagging:
"I worked hard for seven months, but I didn't expect the ending to be like this. Isn't it said that hard work is another name for miracles? I worked hard, but where is the miracle?"
Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo who looked dejected, Yuan Xudong hugged her, held her in his arms, and gently said with his chin against her head:
"It's just a job. You still have me. How about I be your miracle?"
"you?"
“Hmm~~”
Looking up at Yuan Xudong, Jiang Xiaoguo shrank into his arms and said angrily with a hint of tears in her voice:
"You are a bad person, and you bully me too. You all bully me, why am I so unlucky?"
"Who dares to bully you?"
Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo crying in his arms, Yuan Xudong pretended to be very angry and said:
"That Zhou Xun, right? And Pu Ling Capital, I will expose them to the media and report them to that Ma Dongsheng. It will definitely cause Pu Ling to suffer heavy losses. It can be considered as revenge for you, okay?"
"Forget it, it's all in the past. I don't want revenge, I don't want to retaliate against others!"
"Okay then, just let them go!"
Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo, Yuan Xudong hugged her and said with a smile:
"Unmanned supermarkets are a bottomless pit. Pulin Capital will fail sooner or later. The more it invests now, the more it will lose in the end. Just wait and see. It won't last for a few days. These fancy projects are all to deceive investors, to paint a rosy picture for them, to make them suffocate for their dreams, and in the end they really suffocate to death. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
"What's so funny about that? No matter whether it can be realized in the end, a dream is just a dream. What's so funny about that?"
Seeing Yuan Xudong being so ridiculous every day, Jiang Xiaoguo asked him:
"You laugh at others every day, but do you have any dreams yourself? Have all your dreams come true?"
"My dream?"
Hearing Jiang Xiaoguo's question, Yuan Xudong was obviously stunned. Apart from money and women, more money and more beautiful women, he really didn't seem to have any dreams that he wanted to realize. Thinking of this, he looked at Jiang Xiaoguo and said uncertainly:
“Are money and women considered dreams?”
"you……"
Seeing such a vulgar Yuan Xudong, Jiang Xiaoguo couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, twisted the soft flesh on his waist and said angrily:
"Why are you like this? Can't you have a good dream?"
"Yeah?"
Looking at the dissatisfied Jiang Xiaoguo, Yuan Xudong imitated her previous tone and refuted her:
"Dreams are just dreams. There are no good dreams or bad dreams."
"you……"
Without waiting for Jiang Xiaoguo to speak, Yuan Xudong hugged her and kissed her, rubbing her ears, biting her ears gently and said with a smile:
"Xiao Guo, you are my dream. You are my dream!"
“Mmmmm~~”
…
