Chapter 1424 - 716: Worries
But Lin Beichen ignored his words and continued to force his way in.
In this way, Lin Beichen finally squeezed into the meeting room.
"I think we might as well just split the remaining money of the company, since we’ve been unable to solve the company’s issues for so many days, it’s unlikely we’ll do so in the future."
"I agree with your idea, after splitting the money, if anyone wants to start another company, we can gather together and start a new one, it’s better for everyone."
Someone suggested splitting up the money, and after hearing this, the others all expressed their agreement.
"Do you really need to do this? The company has faced so many problems these days, has anyone among you stood up and thought of solutions? Now that the problems have become unmanageable, you actually want to run away with the money!"
Lan Zihua was furious upon hearing their words. That money was the last safeguard for the company, yet they demanded to take the money and leave.
She was really fed up with their way of avoiding problems instead of solving them.
"You can’t blame us for this, you are the company’s Leader, these matters are naturally up to you to handle. We are just shareholders, we only care about the money. Of course, not only should the money be split, but after you sell the company, you should also distribute the money to us, and we can all go our separate ways, can’t we? Why waste time on these broken things?"
An elderly shareholder retorted to Lan Zihua.
His words left Lan Zihua helpless. Why did they all think this way? Only thinking of reaping benefits while leaving her to clean up the mess.
"I’m begging you, okay? Don’t do this. Working together to solve the company’s problems is what’s most important. You’re all focused on splitting the money, this kind of thinking is really bad. Can you be sure you’ll live without worries for the rest of your lives after getting the money? That’s impossible too."
Admittedly, Lan Zihua’s words made some sense. But one couldn’t completely rule out the possibility that they might gather again to start a new company and do even better.
"What do you know? This is the best security."
"If you don’t want us to do this, there’s only one way."
Just as Lan Zihua thought the shareholders might finally propose some constructive opinions, their next words deeply disappointed her... "You must marry into the Wang family, that’s the only way to obtain the funding to resolve the company’s crisis." Lin Beichen also heard the conversation in the meeting room.
He had planned to discuss cooperation with Lan Zihua after they talked through the matter, but realized they were actually forcing Lan Zihua to marry into the Wang family. Lan Zihua couldn’t fight the pressure alone, Lin Beichen couldn’t just watch her be forced into desperation.
So, he resolutely barged into the meeting room. "Don’t worry, Lan Zihua won’t marry into the Wang family, don’t you dare think about it." As soon as Lin Beichen appeared, everyone’s eyes focused on him.
"Who do you think you are, daring to make decisions for Lan Zihua? Get back to where you came from!" The shareholders were quite displeased with Lin Beichen’s unauthorized entrance.
"Today, I’m more than willing to meddle in others’ business. You’re all forcing Lan Zihua to marry into the Wang family, why don’t you send your own daughters? Wouldn’t that solve the company’s crisis as well?" Lin Beichen’s words stunned the shareholders, they all had precious daughters at home, cherished dearly.
No one expected Lin Beichen would say such a thing, suggesting their daughters marry into the Wang family. "What nonsense are you spouting? The Wang family is interested in Lan Zihua, not our daughters."
"If you let your daughters meet with the Wang family, how do you know they won’t change their minds?" Lin Beichen’s words left everyone at a loss for words.
"I came here today intending to fund Lan Zihua’s company, but seeing the attitude of everyone here, I have no reason to provide the support anymore. Handle it yourselves." With that, Lin Beichen took Lan Zihua out of the meeting room.
"I never expected things with the shareholders to become so tense. Thank you for showing up in time and getting me out of there." But there was no joy on Lan Zihua’s face.
The company’s problem remained unsolved, she couldn’t hold on long alone, and all the shareholders were turning against her, wanting to split the money and sell the company. Lin Beichen noticed Lan Zihua’s worry.
"Don’t worry, I said before we would cooperate and we’ll continue to do so, but not with your company, with you personally." Lan Zihua felt confused, how would she cooperate personally? She couldn’t return to the company.
"I’ll give you some funds, use it to work on something. If it succeeds, I’ll have a share; if not, it counts as a failed investment on my part." Lin Beichen said, handing Lan Zihua a check.
Lan Zihua never expected Lin Beichen would do something like this. She shook her head and said, "No, I’ll just find some part-time work. I don’t want to get involved in business again, what if I mess up again?"
Unable to solve the company issues for a long time, Lan Zihua lost confidence in herself, feeling incapable of taking money to start a business again, afraid of disappointing Lin Beichen.
Seeing this, Lin Beichen began to encourage her, "No matter what, you must believe in yourself, you can definitely do it."
Lan Zihua was also unwilling to live her life in such a way, so she took the check, thanked Lin Beichen and started thinking about what to do next.
After pondering for a while, Lan Zihua decided to start from the very bottom, taking her family to sell vegetables at the black market. The cost was low, and the profits were considerable. She also traded antiques with Uncle Wen, earning quite a bit of money through a series of maneuvers.
But she didn’t use the money to patch up the company’s holes, that place caused her heartache, besides, the shareholders probably sold the company for the money already.
