Hearing the middle-aged man say this, Fang Zhicheng roughly guessed that Wu Haiyan, seeing that she could not borrow a loan from formal channels and had no other options, tried to contact underground money lenders.
The middle-aged man was named Fan Xin'an, one of the leaders of Dongtai's underground money houses. He was tempted by Wu Haiyan and wanted to take advantage of her. Wu Haiyan was not the kind of woman who could be easily influenced by others, so she refused to obey and a dispute ensued.
Fang Zhicheng showed contempt in his eyes and said, "Since Ms. Wu is unwilling to pursue you, you should get out of here immediately. I will solve Ms. Wu's funding gap for her, so you don't need to worry about it."
Fan Xin'an was slightly stunned. He was a cautious person. Seeing that Fang Zhicheng was very young and hearing Wu Haiyan call him "Director", he didn't know Fang Zhicheng's background. He thought there was no need to make a big deal out of it, so he snorted and said, "What bad luck!" After that, he looked gloomy, stared at Fang Zhicheng fiercely, and left without looking back.
After Fan Xin'an left, Wu Haiyan slowly collapsed against the wall, covering her face with her hands, sobbing in pain. Fang Zhicheng sighed, entered the box, waved to Qin Yuming, and then whispered to her briefly about the situation. Qin Yuming showed sympathy in her eyes, and persuaded Wu Haiyan to go into the box.
Shen Wei was very curious, so she left the mahjong table and asked some questions. After she understood everything, she scolded in a delicate voice, "I didn't expect that there are such scumbags in the world."
Xiao Qiang sighed and said, "The situation of underground banks is already very complicated. Ms. Wu, what you are doing is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger. It is not a good idea. Even if we can borrow funds now and the company can temporarily alleviate the problem of capital chain, the risks in the future will still be huge."
The underground money houses used barbaric and primitive methods to deal with problems, which was beyond the capability of a weak woman to face. Wu Haiyan was a little too bold, which also reflected that she had indeed reached a desperate situation.
Wu Haiyan calmed down. She wiped her eyes with a tissue and sighed slowly, "I have no other choice but to try my best. I invited Fan Xin'an to dinner today. I originally planned to borrow some funds to pay the workers' wages. A month later, when the sales of the first period are up, I will fill the gap. I didn't expect that Fan Xin'an gave me something to eat during the meal, and I became drowsy. When I woke up, I was in the next room. Fortunately, Director Fang showed up in time, otherwise I..."
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said softly, "Mr. Wu, don't be anxious. In fact, after you came to see me this afternoon, I have helped you find a way and contacted Hongda Group. If nothing unexpected happens, Hongda Group is willing to inject capital into your acquisition, which can solve your current capital turnover problem."
Shen Wei showed a look of realization and winked at Qin Yuming. Fang Zhicheng was naturally looking for Zhao Qingya when he went to Hongda Group, and Shen Wei must know the relationship between Fang Zhicheng and Zhao Qingya. Qin Yuming glared at Shen Wei, and Shen Wei smiled and didn't say anything.
"Acquisition?" Wu Haiyan's face showed mixed emotions. She originally just wanted to find shareholders to inject capital and was not planning to sell the company.
Fang Zhicheng knew what Wu Haiyan was thinking, and patiently persuaded her: "If Xindi Real Estate Development Company can be acquired by Hongda, this may be a turning point. Hongda Group has strong financial resources and originally dabbled in commercial real estate and high-end residential areas. Now that it has acquired Xindi, it hopes to try ordinary residential properties through Xindi. In other words, you will become the main body of Hongda Group in this field in the future. Not only can it solve Xindi's current urgent need for capital chain, but it can also help Xindi grow bigger and stronger."
Wu Haiyan showed a bitter look on her face and whispered, "I have to go back and discuss this with my husband."
Fang Zhicheng knew Wu Haiyan's difficulties. Sun Hung Kai Properties was her husband's hard work. Now facing a crisis, she had to respect her husband's decision. Wu Haiyan's husband was already disabled, but she was still able to consider her husband in everything, which showed that the couple had a very deep relationship.
After seeing Wu Haiyan off, the four of them continued to play mahjong around the card table. Xiao Qiang sighed, "It's such a pity for Wu Haiyan. Such a beautiful woman will have to spend the rest of her life guarding a living dead man. That's why it is said that beautiful women have always had a short life!"
Shen Wei was a little unhappy after hearing this. She rolled her eyes at Xiao Qiang and spat, "What a pity! You men are all the same. When you see a beautiful woman, you will have bad ideas. Xiao Qiang, how about this? I will leave a place for Wu Haiyan and you take her home. How about that?"
Xiao Qiang waved his hands hurriedly and said awkwardly, "Wife, what are you talking about? I just said it casually, how can you make such a big deal out of it?"
Shen Wei snorted, picked up a "One Suo" card and played it, saying unhappily: "Did I hit the nail on the head?"
Qin Yuming suddenly smiled and took the "Yisuo" from the "River" and pushed the cards, saying: "It's a mess, all the same color..."
Shen Wei was a little mad, with a look of collapse on her face. She waved her hands wildly in the air and yelled, "Why did I lose again? I'm going crazy!"
Because Fang Zhicheng had to go to work the next day, the card game ended at about 1 a.m. The four of them found a roadside food stall for a midnight snack before saying goodbye. Xiao Qiang and his wife found a hotel, while Fang Zhicheng and Qin Yuming returned home together.
As for Xiao Qiang and his wife, things were not so peaceful after they returned to the hotel.
After Shen Wei finished her shower, she saw Xiao Qiang snoring and shook him awake. Xiao Qiang rubbed his sleepy eyes and said helplessly, "Wife, what happened?"
Shen Wei looked unhappy and said angrily, "Tell me the truth, are you attracted to Wu Haiyan?"
Xiao Qiang sighed painfully and said weakly, "Wife, what nonsense are you talking about? I have only met Wu Haiyan once, how could I fall in love with her already?"
Shen Wei's eyes flashed, and she pressed on, "I don't believe it! I paid special attention today. Look at her eyes, there's something wrong. How can I describe them? It's like she wants to eat her..."
Xiao Qiang sighed and begged softly, "Wife, I swear to God, I really don't like that woman named Haiyan... I have to rush back to Qiongjin tomorrow morning, so just let me sleep, okay?" After that, Xiao Qiang closed his eyes, gurgled twice, and soon began to snore again.
"All you do is sleep all day long!" Shen Wei's fierce nature came out and she kicked Xiao Qiang hard.
"Ah..." Xiao Qiang cried out and rolled to the floor. He was unable to get up for a long time. After an unknown amount of time, he gasped intermittently and said in pain, "Wife, it's terrible. I... my waist seems to be broken..."
Chapter 0299 Righteously Refusing Bribes
At three o'clock in the morning, Fang Zhicheng and Qin Yuming were woken up by a phone call. At about half past three, they arrived at the hotel and saw Xiao Qiang lying on the floor in pajamas. Fang Zhicheng bent over and gently pinched Xiao Qiang twice, and Xiao Qiang immediately screamed. Shen Wei showed embarrassment on her face and whispered, "What should I do?"
Fang Zhicheng shook his head and said truthfully: "I think the bones are injured. We need to send him to the hospital now..."
Shen Wei's face flushed, and she glanced at Xiao Qiang helplessly, muttering, "You are so useless, I just kicked you..." Looking at Qin Yuming, she saw the corners of her mouth raised, obviously suppressing her smile, and hurriedly explained, "We didn't do anything, we were just bickering, and I kicked him, and then he lay on the floor..."
Qin Yuming finally couldn't help laughing out loud and said, "I really can't do anything about you. If this gets out, I'm afraid people will laugh their heads off."
"How dare you say that!" Shen Wei waved her pink fist and warned.
Fang Zhicheng smiled helplessly, thinking that Xiao Qiang was really unlucky to have a wife as eccentric as Shen Wei, which caused him a lot of trouble. However, this also made Shen Wei more interesting. After all, living at home with more things like this was much more interesting than bland boiled water.
Fang Zhicheng then called 110 for emergency treatment. At around 4:30, an ambulance took Xiao Qiang to the hospital. After taking an X-ray, they found that he had a fractured waist and needed to be put in a plaster cast and have a good rest. After finishing everything, it was around 6 a.m., so Fang Zhicheng said goodbye and prepared to go to work.
At around 7:50, Fang Zhicheng arrived at the China Merchants Group and saw a beautiful young woman standing quietly at the door. She was wearing a white woolen coat, a pair of brown high leather boots, and tight black stockings wrapped around her calves. Her romantic spiral purple-black curly hair set off her tender charm.
Wu Haiyan saw Fang Zhicheng from a distance, with an unnatural smile on her face, and said softly: "Hello, Director Fang! I'm so sorry to bother you so early."
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, just wait a moment!"
He bent down to open the door, welcomed Wu Haiyan in, then made a cup of tea and handed it to Wu Haiyan. When Wu Haiyan took the cup, her arm trembled slightly. Fang Zhicheng subconsciously glanced at the back of her hand and found that her fingers were slender, her skin was smooth and elastic, and there was only a slight scar that slightly destroyed her beauty.
Wu Haiyan didn't notice this detail. She put the teacup aside and said softly, "Director Fang, I came to you today to ask about the Hongda Group. I have discussed it with my husband last night and he agreed."
Fang Zhicheng nodded and said with a smile: "Your husband is very wise. In fact, sometimes it is not a bad thing for a company to be acquired. With a better platform, it can go further. I understand what you mean. Now I will confirm with Hongda Group. However, I have to remind you that Hongda Group still needs to conduct research on Dijing Garden and evaluate the relevant qualifications of Sun Hung Kai Properties. This is not something that can be done in a day or two."
Wu Haiyan showed a trace of worry on her face, and said distressedly: "But now the company is basically at a standstill and can't hold on for much longer."
