My brother is reborn and his engagement is changed; my ex-sister-in-law is pregnant again and again.

"Mr. Lin, it seems a bit difficult to get a loan of 200 million for these items."

When Mr. Zhang spoke, his tone was calm, but upon hearing this, Mr. Lin frowned deeply.

"So, what else do you want on top of this? Just tell me, and I'll give you whatever I can."

At this point, Mr. Lin really had no choice. He knew that the other party would definitely make an exorbitant demand, but he had no choice but to agree. This was because the other party was the only one that could provide the funds he needed, and they also needed to provide them. Obviously, Mr. Zhang knew this, which was why he chose to increase the price based on the collateral provided by the other party.

Because Mr. Zhang is certain that I want these things... and you have to give them to me, otherwise your company will go bankrupt.

Lin's father had no other options in this deal, so he could only passively accept it.

"The mortgaged shares of the Lin Group have risen to 51%."

"This is the only thing we want to change."

A company must hold more than 50% of the shares to achieve absolute control.

If Mr. Lin fails to pay the money within the stipulated time, it would be considered a breach of contract. In that case, Mr. Zhang could use the contract to acquire shares and then, through the board of directors, completely change the ownership of the Lin Group.

Hearing this, Lin's father frowned deeply.

A 51% stake? That's asking for too much.

This is directly aimed at their own company.

but……

He had no choice.

"If the share price increases, then the villa will have to be removed from the mortgage."

Mr. Zhang smiled when he heard this.

"Mr. Lin, you've forgotten something. Now it's you who needs my help, not the other way around. If the villa is removed from the mortgage, the loan amount will be reduced by 30%."

Mr. Lin's face was grim, but what choice did he have? Should he just leave like this? But if he left, the only thing he could do was watch his company go bankrupt. So…

"Let's use the villa as collateral."

"So it seems that you, Mr. Lin, have accepted all the conditions I just mentioned."

Hearing this, Lin's father nodded.

Is it okay to refuse?

I have no choice but to accept it.

"Hmm... I accept."

"Okay, I'll have someone prepare the contract right away. Please wait here for a moment."

"Okay... there's one more thing. If I sign the contract, when can you transfer the money to my account?"

"today."

Mr. Lin breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, the other party was still very generous with the money. In short, he just needed to get through the most difficult time. Once this difficult period was over, things would get better.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard work; this is a mutually beneficial business for us."

The 200 million loan is due in May next year. In addition to the principal of 200 million, there is also 130 million in interest. Adding them together, that's 330 million. To be honest, Mr. Lin thinks he can manage it if he grits his teeth.

However, he overlooked one thing: what if the other party interfered?

Seeing the expression on Lin's father's face, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

The legal department quickly released the draft contract. Then, Mr. Lin sent the document to his company's legal department. After the legal department confirmed that there were no problems, Mr. Lin signed the contract.

"Yes, that's fine. We'll transfer the money directly to your company's account this afternoon. We hope you can overcome this difficult time, Mr. Lin."

Hearing this, Lin's father smiled.

"Thank you for your kind words."

"Of course, we still have great faith in Chairman Lin's abilities."

Now that the matter is over, Mr. Lin will definitely not stay here any longer. He needs to hurry back to the company to organize the purchase of raw materials and get the factory back to work. For Mr. Lin, time is money now, and this cannot be delayed.

Watching Mr. Lin's departing figure, the staff looked at General Manager Zhang.

"Mr. Zhang, do you think the other party will be able to give us the money within the stipulated time?"

Hearing this, Mr. Zhang shook his head.

"Under normal circumstances, it's possible, but..."

Mr. Zhang glanced at the staff, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"I'll make it impossible for him."

For Mr. Zhang, the money he wants to earn is not just the interest of over 100 million yuan, although that is still a lot. But Mr. Zhang has great ambitions; he wants the entire Lin Group.

"Understood."

"Then it depends on how much Mr. Lin struggles."

Listening to the employee's words, General Manager Zhang smiled. Meanwhile, Lin's father, completely unaware that he had fallen into a trap, immediately called for the logistics department to come over when he returned to the company.

"Chairman."

The Minister of Logistics spoke with utmost respect.

"In the afternoon, 200 million yuan will be deposited into the company. After the funds are deposited, immediately contact the relevant companies to purchase raw materials. Remember, the sooner the better. Work must resume within two days."

Hearing this, the head of the logistics department was somewhat surprised, because he hadn't expected the company to be able to get money now. However, since the chairman had already said so, the head of the logistics department didn't ask any further questions.

As for where the money came from, that's not important.

Although my annual income is not low, I am just a high-level employee. Where the money comes from is really none of my business.

In the afternoon, the funds arrived smoothly.

The entire Lin Group began operating at full speed, with all sorts of raw materials flooding into its factories.

When Mr. Lin arrived at the factory and saw that it was in operation, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

…………

Lin Yuze, on the other hand, has been quite busy lately.

"Chairman, aren't you going home tonight?"

Inside the company, the operations director looked at Lin Yuze with curiosity in his voice. Tonight at 10 pm, the company's first animation will be officially launched. According to the information communicated with the animation website, they will grant them access to see the backend data directly, and it will be updated in real time.

So Lin Yuze will most likely have to stay at the company tonight. After all, this animation is too important. Only after making money can he start to continue with the next step of his plan and investment.

"I'm not going back; I'll stay at the company tonight."

"If any of you have something to do at home, you can leave now."

"It's fine."

Lin Yuze is a fairly easy person to talk to, and he's only looking at data at the company. If he has something to do at home, he can go back without much impact. Hearing this, everyone looked at each other.

It's obvious that no one will be leaving tonight.

The chairman is in the company; how can you leave like this?

Besides, there really wasn't anything at home that I absolutely had to go back to...

"Is everything alright?"

"No, Chairman, we think it's better for us to stay with the company."

Hearing this, Lin Yuze smiled.

"Alright, let's buy some late-night snacks tonight, consider it a get-together for our company's top executives. Buy some good stuff, and get some good red wine too. Don't try to save me money."

Since that's what they said, Lin Yuze naturally wouldn't be stingy.

"Long live the Chairman!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd shouted.

A dozen minutes later, Su Rui received a message from Lin Yuze in her office.

"Senior, I probably won't be able to go home tonight; I have to stay at the company to look at the data."

The website's explanation is that they can only grant backend access to one account, so in order for the higher-ups to see it, there's not much else to do besides stay at the company.

Upon seeing this news, Su Rui sighed.

"Okay, I got it. Remember to eat dinner tonight."

After thinking for a moment, Su Rui sent another message.

"So you're not coming back until tomorrow?"

"Probably so, tonight will definitely be a sleepless night."

Immediately afterwards, Su Rui looked at the next message sent by Lin Yuze.

"Senior, don't miss me too much."

"If you miss me, you can send me a message."

"I won't laugh at my senior."

Perhaps feeling that this wasn't enough, Lin Yuze sent a few more shy emojis. Seeing these emojis, Su Rui's lips curled up slightly.

"This guy is unreliable."

After thinking for a moment, Su Rui returned several bloodstained kitchen knives.

Time passed by little by little, and before she knew it, it was time for Su Rui to get off work.

Su Rui took a car back home.

To be honest, Su Rui didn't feel anything special when Lin Yuze was usually around, but because Lin Yuze wasn't coming back tonight, Su Rui felt that the house was a bit empty.

I never felt this way when I lived alone before.

Sitting on the sofa, Su Rui subconsciously looked towards the kitchen, because Lin Yuze would usually be busy in the kitchen at this time, but now the kitchen was empty. Su Rui leaned back in her chair, staring at the ceiling, feeling a little bored.

This never used to happen.

That's true. Before, Lin Yuze would talk to me, making me shy, letting my guard down, and making me laugh out loud. But now I'm all alone at home.

Thinking of this, Su Rui took out her phone, just about to send a message to Lin Yuze, but after thinking for a moment, she put it down. Under normal circumstances, Lin Yuze should be quite busy right now.

Su Rui decided it was best not to make the call at this time.

Thinking of this, Su Rui put her phone on the table, crossed her legs, and wondered what she should look at.

In fact, Su Rui is a rather boring person in her daily life. She doesn't have many hobbies. If she has any hobbies, it's work. Before Lin Yuze came, when she got home, she would basically look at the latest financial news, see which startups were doing well, and even research areas she didn't know much about.

It can only be said that Su Rui used to treat her work as everything, but now Lin Yuze's appearance has unknowingly changed Su Rui's life to a certain extent.

Just as Su Rui was lost in thought, her phone suddenly rang. She picked it up and saw that it was a video call from Lin Yuze.

Lin Yuze's contact name on Su Rui's phone is Yuze.

Those who know Su Rui know that this nickname already shows a high level of intimacy.

After all, most people use their full name plus their company name and job title to emphasize their business acumen.

connected.

On the screen, Lin Yuze appears to be sitting on the flower bed outside their company. Judging from his posture, it seems as if he is squatting.

"What's wrong? Aren't you busy right now?"

"I'm busy, but I don't understand it, so I ran away."

Hearing this, Su Rui smiled.

In fact, Su Rui discovered Lin Yuze's best quality as a leader: he knew what he didn't know and was willing to delegate the task entirely to someone who did.

Although it's easy to say, it's hard to say whether there are more than 1% of the company's leadership with such excellent qualities, or even one in a thousand.

"You have it so easy being a boss."

"It's alright, I've put in a lot of effort too, you know. I've been so busy today."

"Hmm? What have you been busy with?"

Su Rui's tone was full of curiosity.

"I've been busy thinking about what to have for supper tonight. These executives are from all over the country, and everyone has different tastes, so I have to cater to them all."

Yes, Lin Yuze ordered takeout most of the day.

At the very least, what he ordered was definitely tastier than what the LPL club coaches ordered.

He believed that since he had worked so hard, he would definitely do well in the anime competition that night.

"Yeah, it really is quite tough."

"Senior, what are you doing? Have you missed me while you're at home?"

Su Rui found that Lin Yuze was really bold now. If it were before, Lin Yuze would never have teased her like this. She wondered who gave this guy the courage.

Fish Leong?

No.

It was Su Rui herself.

If Su Rui acts coldly, Lin Yuze will show her what true aloofness is.

"No, in fact, I feel much quieter at home."

"Oh, I see... Sigh, I thought you'd miss me, hmph."

Lin Yuze was worried that Su Rui would be bored at home alone, so he made a video call to chat. However, Lin Yuze was very perceptive and still saw through Su Rui's insincerity.

Girls, you know.

It's perfectly normal to be a little reserved.

"By the way, senior, I'll most likely be drinking when I get late-night snacks tonight. If I message you, just call me..."

"Huh? What do you mean? I don't understand."

"Avoiding drinking means you call me, I go out to answer the call, and then I come back and say you won't let me drink anymore."

Su Rui smiled.

"Isn't that dishonest?"

"If you really can't drink it, just say you can't."

Hearing this, Lin Yuze shook his head frantically.

At this moment, Lin Yuze patted his face and then coughed.

"That won't work."

"Men have pride."

Ah, this.

One sentence made Su Rui burst into loud laughter.

"Okay, let me know when the time comes. Don't drink too much... Did you buy any alcohol?"

"I bought it... so what?"

"I'll have someone send you two bottles of wine later, 82 Lafite. You can drink with them."

Although Su Rui doesn't drink much, she still has quite a few good wines on hand from entertaining guests. Since they're just sitting there, and Lin Yuze could use them, Su Rui had someone send some over to him.

"No need, senior."

"I don't need them anyway, so I'll send them over to you. Are two bottles enough? If not, I'll send you four."

Su Rui remembered that there were five or six senior executives in the company. Five or six grown men, two bottles might not be enough, right?

"Senior, we're just having a few drinks tonight. Do you really think we're having a dinner party?"

I'll definitely be drinking tonight, but the most important thing is to look at the data.

"Alright then, two bottles it is."

"Okay, thank you, senior."

"Tch, so polite. Sure enough, red wine is the most effective."

Lin Yuze smiled.

"It's not the red wine that works, it's you, senior, that works!"

At this time, Su Rui had already contacted her assistant. Yes, she also had a 24-hour assistant, the kind who was available whenever she needed them.

"Come to my house."

"Yes, Chairman."

The assistant spoke immediately after receiving the message.

About half an hour later, there was a knock on Su Rui's door. Su Rui went to the door and opened it.

"Chairman."

"Xiao Li, go and deliver these two bottles of red wine to Lin Yuze. I'll send you the location later."

Xiao Li is a girl. Su Rui prefers to use female assistants and secretaries because it is easier to get along with them and there is no need to worry about the inconvenience between opposite sexes.

"Yes, Chairman, I understand."

"Yes, thank you for your hard work."

"Chairman, this is what I should do."

After getting the items, Xiao Li left. Watching him leave, Su Rui took out her phone and sent a message to Lin Yuze.

"I've already sent someone over; they should be here in about twenty minutes. Have someone go downstairs and get it."

After receiving the message, Lin Yuze looked around the company.

It seems everyone is busy.

It seems there's only one person who can be described as having nothing to do.

"Okay, senior, I'll go get it."

"Um."

After ending the chat, Lin Yuze went out. The distance wasn't far, and he had nothing to do here, so going downstairs for a while was a good idea, a way to get some fresh air.
