Huo Mian: "It's true, we're almost bankrupt . "
Zhu Lingling: "Are you serious? Don't kid me . "
Jiang Xiaowei: "She's not kidding, the situation is dire right now . How much debt are you guys in right now?"
Huo Mian: "I'm not sure yet . Our debt was at 800 million yuan at the end of the day today, so it wasn't too bad . I'm not sure what's going to happen tomorrow though . "
She felt like she was riding a roller coaster, constantly going up and down – overnight, GK went from a company that was worth tens of billions to one that was in debt .
Huo Mian finally understood how a pair of brothers in America went from billionaires to beggars during the 2008 depression .
Yes, they were rich, but that meant they bore more risk than ordinary people .
Zhu Lingling: "How is 800 million yuan 'not too bad'? You're killing me here . "
Jiang Xiaowei: "Don't panic, Mian . I talked to Wei Liao, so just let us know if you need money . He has about 600 million yuan in liquid funds . "
Huo Mian: "We're fine at the moment, I'll tell you when I need your help . Thanks, Xiaowei . "
Jiang Xiaowei: "You don't need to be so polite with me . Plus, I know this is just temporary, with Qin Chu's capabilities he'll definitely be able to recover from this crisis . "
Huo Mian: "Yeah, I trust him too . "
Zhu Lingling: "Huo Mian, I'm really not of that much help, but I can treat you to food . What do you guys feel like eating?"
Huo Mian: "I really don't have the time recently, I'll have to take a raincheck on that offer . "
Jiang Xiaowei: "Mian… with what's going on, will you guys still be able to get married on the 28th?"
After three seconds of silence, Huo Mian replied: "I'm not sure yet, I need to talk it through with Qin Chu first . "
Jiang Xiaowei: "Okay, let us know if you have any updates . "
Huo Mian: "I will . "
After she closed WeChat, she decided not to log into Weibo anymore, since the water army already sank her page with curses . She couldn't bear reading them all, no matter how strong she was .
Her mom didn't know much about the company, so she had no idea what was going on . Zhixin, on the other hand, called her several times to make sure she was alright . He heard about GK's crisis from all the way in New Zealand .
Huo Mian didn't want Zhixin to worry, so she told him that everything was fine .
However, she couldn't help but sigh when she was alone .
After taking a hot bath, Huo Mian walked into the bedroom in her nightgown . She leaned on her bed and let her mind run wild… so wild that she didn't even notice Qin Chu walking in .
He walked up to her and grazed the tip of her nose lovingly . "What are you thinking about so intently?"
"Honey… should we push back the wedding?"
"Why?" Qin Chu got under the covers and placed his arm around Huo Mian's shoulder .
"Too many things have happened, you don't have time to do anything else . Plus, it doesn't seem appropriate to hold a wedding at a time l like this… maybe we should wait until this crisis is averted . "
"I feel like the wedding might actually help us avert the crisis . Don't worry, I can handle it . We'll get married on the 28th . "
There were 9 days left until their wedding; could it be successfully held? Why did Huo Mian feel such unease?
- The next morning -
Qin Chu and Huo Mian left home together . He went to the office while she continued preparing for the wedding .
Qin Chu was going to go with her, but GK was still in a mess so he had no time . Huo Mian ended up shopping around some luxury shopping mall but didn't feel like buying anything .
Suddenly, her phone rang – Su Yu was calling her .
"Hello?"
"Where are you?"
"Um… at the outlet by Rainbow Street . "
"Give me ten minutes, I'll be right there . "
Then, Su Yu hung up . Ten minutes later, he appeared outside the shopping mall . Glancing around, Su Yu said: "Let's go somewhere else, there are too many people here . "
"Let's go into the coffee shop over there . " Huo Mian and Zhu Lingling often shopped here, so she knew her way around .
"Okay . "
Then, they walked into the coffee shop together…
"Did you need to talk to me about something?" Huo Mian knew Su Yu wouldn't ask to see her for no reason .
Su Yu didn't reply; instead, he took a cheque out of his wallet and pushed it towards Huo Mian, who was shocked by the number of zeros she saw…
