Chapter 1423 - 715: Forced by Circumstance (Part 2)
They thought they could subdue Lin Beichen, but unexpectedly, even so many people attacking him, he remained unscathed and got even more vigorous.
He seemed like an iron man with boundless strength, and there seemed to be nothing in this world that could cause substantial harm to Lin Beichen.
In no time, a group of people was all knocked to the ground by Lin Beichen. Some held their heads, some clutched their chests, all crying out in pain.
The outcome was completely different from the henchman’s imagination. Everyone he brought was defeated by Lin Beichen, and now, only he was left.
Staring at this scene, the henchman was frozen in place, wanting to lift his legs to run away, but his legs seemed to be disobedient, continuously shaking and unable to move.
These people couldn’t take a beating at all, and Lin Beichen hadn’t had enough fun yet.
He thought, why didn’t the henchman bring more people? So he could practice more.
The previously arrogant henchman was now trembling all over in fear of Lin Beichen.
Lin Beichen pressed step by step, and the henchman’s trembling worsened.
It could even be seen that a wet patch had appeared under his pants, which hadn’t been there before. Clearly, he had peed his pants from fear of Lin Beichen.
With a puff, the henchman couldn’t care less about his dignity now; survival was more important. After all, as long as you keep the green hills, there will be no fear of running out of firewood. So he immediately knelt before Lin Beichen, persistently kowtowing and begging for mercy:
"I’m sorry, what I said earlier was arrogant, not recognizing Mount Tai. I didn’t know you were so powerful, please show mercy and don’t harm me. I’ll do anything you ask."
Lin Beichen stood before him, arms crossed over his chest, snorting.
He thought, why didn’t this guy do this earlier?
If Lin Beichen couldn’t fight these people himself, then it would likely be him kneeling and begging for mercy right now.
Being so close, Lin Beichen smelled a pungent odor, couldn’t help but cover his nose, and showed a disdainful expression: "Get lost quickly, don’t let me see you again; otherwise, you’ll regret it."
"Okay, we’ll leave right away." The henchman responded immediately upon hearing Lin Beichen’s words to go, simultaneously calling his men to leave quickly, afraid Lin Beichen would change his mind.
However, it would be difficult to encounter them again. This kind of people usually bully the weak and fear the strong, and with Lin Beichen being so fierce, they certainly wouldn’t want to trouble him again; surely they’ll find someone weaker to bully. But Lin Beichen couldn’t be bothered to manage them; as long as they don’t touch his bottom line, he wouldn’t care.
If he had to mind others’ business every day, his own affairs wouldn’t get done. Does he have to always strive for society, punishing evil and promoting good?
At this moment, in the office, Lan Zihua sat on a chair, eyes closed, eyebrows furrowed. She sighed: "The company is on the verge of danger. So many days have passed, and I’ve tried everything with no success; what should I do?"
Since the company’s crisis emerged, Lan Zihua has been constantly anxious. She dreamed of solving the company’s issues, but no matter how hard she tried, the company showed no signs of improvement.
Many times, Lan Zihua wanted to give up, but she must persevere.
When she became the company leader initially, many people supported her, and she carried many people’s hopes. If she gives up now, wouldn’t those who believed in her trust her in vain?
So, no matter what, she must persevere, and do everything possible to resolve the company’s situation, to fulfill everyone’s trust and give everyone an explanation.
Moreover, the company still had hundreds of employees working hard together; how could she have thoughts of giving up?
Recently, the Wang Clan no longer harassed Lan Zihua as frequently as before, allowing her to breathe a bit easier.
But Lan Zihua had already racked her brains, yet still couldn’t think of a solution.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind: Wang Group’s proposal of marriage.
Wang Group was very strong, and if she married them, they would undoubtedly provide unconditional funding to support her.
Furthermore, with Wang Group as a backing, many companies would come to her for cooperation.
Because now, given the difficulty of Lan Zihua’s company’s situation, seeking cooperation from others makes them feel insecure, fearing losses, thus they declined. That’s why the company’s condition remained unresolved.
As for marriage, Lan Zihua would eventually have to get married, and she didn’t have anyone she liked. She might as well marry someone randomly to resolve the company’s crisis. Having thought it through, Lan Zihua decided to marry into the Wang Clan.
Having figured things out, Lan Zihua dialed Wang Clan’s number: "The marriage proposal you mentioned before, I’ve thought carefully about it, and now I’ve decided to accept it."
"What? Are you serious?" The person on the other end of the phone immediately stood up from the chair in disbelief upon hearing Lan Zihua’s words.
"Of course, it’s true; how could I deceive you?" This made Wang Clan exceedingly happy, as they had been longing day and night for Lan Zihua to marry them, and finally, the day had come.
"That’s great! How about this, I’ll go see your mother today, or rather, I should start calling her mother-in-law. Let’s carefully discuss setting the marriage down. After all, this is a major life event, and it can’t be taken lightly."
In his joy, Wang Clan proposed visiting Lan Zihua’s mother to finalize the marriage. He feared Lan Zihua would change her mind, and given her company’s urgent state, marrying earlier would benefit her.
"So early to see my mother?" Lan Zihua hadn’t expected Wang Clan to suggest visiting today to set the marriage date, finding it too rushed, she asked in doubt.
"Then when do you plan to set the marriage date? I’m just worried you’ll regret it. Plus, your company’s situation is critically urgent too; an earlier marriage will benefit your company." One had to admit, Wang Clan made sense, and indeed Lan Zihua’s company situation was not promising.
Lan Zihua also understood her company’s crisis, so she agreed to marry Wang Clan.
After dealing with those thugs, Lin Beichen arrived at Lan Zihua’s company. As soon as he arrived, he realized the situation was worse than he anticipated.
"Debt repayment is a natural order!"
"Pay up! Pay up!"
"If you really can’t, you can mortgage the residential or company to the bank. In short, you must repay us!"
The company hall was packed with debt collectors, bustling with noise.
Even worse, the company’s shareholders also began to waver.
"Lan Zihua, marrying into Wang Clan is your best choice now; only this can solve the company’s predicament. Look, they’re here every day to collect debts, dealing with these troubles is already vexing enough, and listening to their noise adds to the annoyance."
"He’s right; Wang Group is powerful. As long as we marry them, we won’t worry about the company anymore. I really don’t understand why you’ve been refusing."
Actually, Lan Zihua had already decided to marry Wang Clan, originally wanting to share this good news with them. But hearing them speak this way, her joyful mood instantly vanished.
On which side exactly do these shareholders stand? Logically, they should remain on her side no matter what happens to the company, aligned with her, striving together to improve the company.
But these shareholders were like fence-sitters, always leaning toward whichever side is stronger.
Lin Beichen was blocked downstairs, jostled by the crowded people, unable to get in.
This made Lin Beichen anxious; he didn’t know what situation Lan Zihua was currently facing. Since he first felt this atmosphere, he felt somewhat depressed.
Under such circumstances, with so many people urging to repay the debt, anyone would feel crushed.
Moreover, Lan Zihua was a woman, surely not as strong as a man in bearing pressure.
So Lin Beichen had to rush in and check on Lan Zihua’s situation.
"Hey, don’t rush, wait at the back honestly. As for money, I’m afraid it’s not your turn yet."
Lin Beichen wanted to forcibly go in, making the person he squeezed beside pale, impatiently saying this to him.
Being a debt collector just like him, the person could understand Lin Beichen’s urgency, but there are so many people, and they have to go one by one.
He had been collecting debts here for days, unfamiliar with Lin Beichen’s face, surely Lin Beichen was new here.
Thus, Lin Beichen had to wait behind him, and only after he got his money would it be Lin Beichen’s turn.
