Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years

Gu Jia accepts Li Haoyu's invitation. 💀☺ ➅➈SнǗˣ.𝓒ｏΜ 🎃☝

She seemed very surprised.

Li Haoyu had barely finished speaking when

Gu Jia readily agreed, "Okay!"

Gu Jia leaned forward somewhat awkwardly, but she still agreed.

Seeing her in this state, Li Haoyu couldn't help but think to himself, "So Gu Jia can be this cowardly too."

You have to remember that the last time Li Haoyu and Gu Jia met, she acted all high and mighty. Even when she was asking Li Haoyu for a favor, she would occasionally reveal a hint of superiority.

Gu Jia is nothing like she is now.

She was so humble, as if she owed Li Haoyu money.

However, the area downstairs in the apartment complex wasn't a good place to talk. Li Haoyu directly invited, "How about we talk at your place? It's convenient since we're in the same complex."

Li Haoyu knew that inviting Gu Jia home was a bit of a hint, and he figured she would refuse. He might as well go to her place; the outcome would be the same anyway.

Gu Jia hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "I'm hungry again."

The two quickly arrived at Gu Jia's house.

Li Haoyu looked at her home's decor, and it was indeed very stylish. It was clear that she had spent a lot of money on it, and Gu Jia must have put a lot of thought into it.

As soon as Gu Jia entered the room, she brewed a pot of tea for Li Haoyu and then respectfully placed the tea set on the table. ☜🍪 ➅❾ѕн𝓤Ж.Cσ๓ ♣💝 In contrast to Gu Jia's restraint, Li Haoyu sat casually on the sofa.

On the contrary, he seems more like the master of this house.

Gu Jia felt it was about time to speak up. After all, she really had no other choice. At least she still had some semblance of kinship with Li Haoyu.

Just say it, even if it hurts.

So what if I lose face?

However, Gu Jia also had many doubts at this time.

Was Li Haoyu's promise to invest last time a joke or for real? That was over ten million yuan; did Li Haoyu agree to it so casually?

She was also a little unsure about Li Haoyu's true feelings towards her.

"Mr. Li?"

Gu Jia looked at Li Haoyu and saw that he still looked calm and collected. Gu Jia swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

However, the tea plantation matter really couldn't be delayed any longer.

It's important to understand that the house in Junyue Mansion wasn't purchased with cash outright. She still owes the bank a loan, and if things drag on any longer, the bank might even seize the house to pay off the debt.

After thinking about all this, Gu Jia finally made up her mind.

This time, she forced out her brightest smile yet, bordering on humility. "Mr. Li, I've thought about what you told me before."

Gu Jia said softly.

What's the point of talking about face now?

She had nowhere left to turn. 🎀ൠ ❻❾Sⓗ𝕌Ｘ.co.uk 🍭🐉

In the turbulent world of business, one must accept the consequences of their gambles. But as long as you don't give up, there's always a chance to start over. As long as you succeed, no one will care about past failures.

In the business world, success or failure is the ultimate measure of worth.

Whether or not it brings benefits to others is what people care about.

Li Haoyu chuckled casually, "You finally changed your mind?"

It seems that Gu Jia has indeed been through a lot recently. She used to care about her pride, but now she knows how to back down.

"Actually, I should have known about my problems a long time ago."

Perhaps I'm capable enough, but that doesn't mean I can handle everything. In the business world, I'm really nothing; there's so much I need to learn from Mr. Li.

Gu Jia subconsciously tossed her hair and said.

"I formally apologize to you for my previous arrogance."

Li Haoyu smiled upon hearing this.

However, he felt that Gu Jia's business acumen wasn't actually that high. Gu Jia could be a great department manager, but not necessarily a qualified company boss.

Everyone was impressed by Gu Jia's appearance and social skills.

However, they failed to notice Gu Jia's shortcomings in another aspect.

This can actually be seen from a small thing.

At the time, Gu Jia's company encountered some minor problems. One client wanted to postpone payment, and another client might want to discuss postponing payment. As a result, the company's cash flow almost dried up.

This little incident gave Gu Jia a real fright. This single incident was enough to puncture the seemingly successful bubble of Gu Jia's company.

Li Haoyu found this part of the plot very strange at the time.

Is the finance department of this company just sitting around doing nothing?

How could a single customer's delayed payment cause the entire company's cash flow to dry up? Later, Li Haoyu commissioned Jin Hui to investigate, and he reviewed the information Jin Hui had given him about Gu Jia's company.

Li Haoyu then realized that it wasn't that Gu Jia's company's finance staff were incompetent or failed to do a good job in financial planning, but rather that the company's finance department's decisions had no real authority.

Both Gu Jia and Xu Huanshan made the most serious mistake that plagues "husband-and-wife shops".

They treated the company like their own private domain, making all the decisions themselves. Neither of them both bothered to calculate the costs of purchasing raw materials or paying employee salaries.

The two treated the company like their own personal ATM. The company's operating capital was insufficient, which was used solely for renovating their new house.

Despite the company's dire financial situation, Xu Huanshan boasted that he would let his wife buy several new outfits, and Gu Jia even used her credit card to buy Hermes bags.

This is not something a startup boss would do. Therefore, their company's failure was entirely within Li Haoyu's expectations.

Li Haoyu said calmly, "I already said last time that you're welcome to change your mind and come to me anytime. Now that you've brought it up again, I certainly won't go back on my word."

"How about this, you can contact Mrs. Jin from the Wives' Association. I'm currently working with her husband, and she should be willing to take over because of me."

Gu Jia: "

Gu Jia inexplicably heard a familiar name.

She was momentarily stunned.

She couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's your relationship with President Jin?"

Li Haoyu said, "He's a good friend, don't worry, he'll definitely give me that face."

"However, today is not a suitable time. Come to my company when you are not busy, and the three of us can discuss the contract then."

Gu Jia is a smart person.

In fact, she had heard of Jin Hui's name long ago.

Gu Jia had tried several times to use the wives' gatherings as an opportunity to meet Jin Hui, but Mrs. Jin had casually declined each time.

Gu Jia wasn't stupid; she understood even if others didn't say it aloud. That's just how the adult world is.

The adult world is a jungle. Whether you're a man or a woman, life is brutal. The societal calls for "women first" are a facade; they implicitly acknowledge that women are the weaker party in competition.

In harmless daily life, people can still put on airs and act sophisticated, thus yielding to women. But when it comes to matters of interest, who cares about gentlemanly conduct?

Gu Jia's experiences during this period made her realize her powerlessness.
