C20 The Company Crisis Was Solved

"Of course!"

With a haughty glance, Soong Qingwan turned her attention back to the road, earnestly driving and savoring the thrill of the Rolls-Royce Phantom.

At the Western Restaurant.

The sleek Rolls-Royce pulled up at the entrance, drawing every eye to it. Everyone was eager to see who was behind the wheel of such a lavish ride.

The sight of Soong Qingwan, radiantly beautiful, stepping out from the driver's seat left onlookers in awe.

Several men were poised to approach her, but the sight of Lin Chen emerging from the passenger side stopped them cold.

Their faces twisted into expressions too complex for words.

It seemed she already had a handsome companion!

Envious glances were cast at Lin Chen, as they wished to be in his shoes.

Post-dinner, the system's mechanical voice chimed in promptly.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. Reward: 30% of the shares in Jiacheng Company."

Lin Chen was elated.

He was familiar with Jiacheng Company, a top enterprise in East Sea City.

This meant he was now a major shareholder of Jiacheng Company!

Wasn't this the epitome of a life winner?

Soong Qingwan looked at Lin Chen, puzzled:

"What's gotten into you? Why are you suddenly so cheerful?"

Lin Chen gazed back with appreciation.

"Senior, you're my lucky charm too!"

Soong Qingwan: "..."

She hadn't picked up on the significance of "too."

...

In the chairman's office of Jiacheng Company.

Jiang Lili, clad in her business suit, sat in her chair, massaging her temples which throbbed slightly.

The company's financial stability had been shaky lately, costing her several nights of good sleep and leaving her visibly worn.

They had found a potential investor, but their demands were exorbitant. Agreeing to their terms would mean Jiacheng might survive the crisis but be severely weakened.

And they wanted more than just shares in Jiacheng—they wanted her.

That was something Jiang Lili could never accept.

"Chairman, chairman!"

The urgent voice of her secretary, Zhang Yuanyuan, echoed at the door.

Jiang Lili's frown deepened:

"What is it? Why all the panic..."

"Our company's cash flow issues have been resolved!"

"What?!"

Jiang Lili was so startled that she sprang to her feet:

"Could you repeat that?"

Zhang Yuanyuan was clearly thrilled:

"Just moments ago, a Mr. Lin Chen made a one-time cash injection of five hundred million yuan. Our company's financial crisis is averted!"

Jiang Lili's furrowed brows finally eased, and she visibly relaxed from her previously tense state.

Regaining her composure, she turned to Zhang Yuanyuan:

"What was the name of the gentleman you mentioned?"

Zhang Yuanyuan promptly replied:

"Lin Chen!"

Lin Chen?

Jiang Lili was taken aback.

Could it be her neighbor?

She dismissed the thought as soon as it occurred.

Jiang Lili let out a wry smile.

How could it be him?

He was so young, and even if he were wealthy, acquiring Water and Clouds would cost several hundred million. Where would he get an additional five hundred million yuan?

It must be a coincidence of names.

Zhang Yuanyuan inquired:

"Chairman, shall I reach out to Mr. Lin to arrange the transfer procedures?"

Jiang Lili nodded, her lips parting slightly:

"Yes, please do."

...

Meanwhile, after dropping Soong Qingwan back at her dormitory, Lin Chen received a phone call.

"Hello, is this Mr. Lin Chen speaking?"

The voice was exceedingly polite and carried a tone of respect.

"Yes, speaking. Who's this?"

The caller introduced herself:

"I'm Sun Feifei from Jiacheng Corporation's legal department."

"Are you available soon? We've prepared all the necessary documents. Would you like to schedule a time to come to our office for the handover? Alternatively, if it's inconvenient for you, we can come to you."

Lin Chen was mildly surprised; the system had only just transferred the shares to him, and he hadn't expected Jiacheng to act so swiftly.

Checking the time and noting it was four in the afternoon, and with no other plans, he responded:

"I'm free now. Please send me the address."

Sun Feifei was momentarily taken aback:

"Very well, we'll get everything ready and eagerly await your arrival!"

...

The buzz at Jiacheng Company was palpable.

"Secretary Zhang just issued an order about a VIP visiting our company. Who could this client be that warrants such a grand reception?"

"That doesn't add up. We've hosted international clients before and never with this much fanfare!"

"Wasn't there a rumor recently about our company's capital chain issues? Could this VIP be linked to resolving that crisis?"

...

In the chairman's office, Jiang Lili was making herself presentable with utmost speed.

She awaited Lin Chen's arrival.

Doubt crept in once more—was Lin Chen the one who could solve their company's financial woes?

Just then, her phone rang.

A flicker of distaste crossed Jiang Lili's eyes as she glanced at the caller ID, but she still answered the call.

"Director Jiang, have you decided? For an investment of one hundred million yuan, we're asking for a 30% stake. If you're ready to proceed, meet us at the hotel tonight..."
