Chapter 398 Prayer
I rested for a whole day.
Rong Shu felt much more relaxed.
But she didn't have the energy to go to the company to handle work until noon the next day.
As soon as she arrived at the company, Xue Mingjie came to report that the other party knew they needed to replace her on a project she had previously taken over, and they needed to talk to Rong Shu about it.
After all, the project was halfway through, and a sudden change of personnel definitely requires an explanation.
Rong Shu made a phone call to the other party, and after the call, the other party suggested meeting in person.
Rong Shu did not refuse and said, "Okay, then I'll treat you. When do you have time?" It would be a good opportunity to bring the person in charge of this project over to introduce him to them.
"How about today, 2:30, at Nancy Golf Club? I happen to have something to do there."
"Can."
Rong Shu made some last-minute preparations, asking Xue Mingjie to call over the head of the second investment department, explaining the situation in detail, and instructing him to prepare in advance.
2:20.
The group arrived at the golf course on time.
Rong Shu contacted the other party and was walking towards the lobby when she heard desperate pleas from afar, accompanied by the cries of a child, "President Sheng, I beg you, please let my husband, Lao Fan, go this time."
Rong Shu stopped and saw a woman kneeling at Sheng Tingchen's feet at the entrance of the hall, clutching the man's thigh tightly. Beside her, a little girl of less than ten years old was wailing loudly.
The man looked down, his eyes filled with impatience.
The staff rushed forward and helped the woman up, and she kept pleading earnestly.
Sheng Tingchen strode away indifferently. As he was about to get into his car, he looked up and saw Rong Shu standing not far away. He paused in his steps.
Rong Shu withdrew her gaze and walked straight into the hall.
The woman recognized her at a glance, broke free from the staff's restraints, and rushed to Rong Shu.
Rong Shu was startled.
Xue Mingjie reacted quickly and stepped forward to stop the woman.
The woman knelt down again, clasped her hands together, and pleaded, "Evelynn... no, Mrs. Sheng, please ask Mr. Sheng to spare my husband, Lao Fan, and leave us a way out."
Rong Shu looked at the woman in front of her. The "Old Fan" she was talking about should be Fan Guang from Shenhe. She had seen him at the summit last year, when he was still the glamorous President Fan.
In retrospect, it seems that Yunshan lost all its assets in the capital market game. That's how the financial market is; one wrong step and you can fall from heaven to the abyss in an instant.
Sheng Tingchen has always acted this way; if you make a bet with him, he will never give the other party any chance to turn things around.
"Mrs. Sheng, I'll do anything for you from now on, I beg you..."
The little girl's crying continued.
Rong Shu stood still.
The staff rushed forward, pulled the woman up, and forcibly tried to take her away. The little girl chased after her, stumbled, and fell to the ground.
Rong Shu stepped forward and helped the little girl up, taking out a tissue from her bag to wipe her tear-streaked face.
Another staff member came over and took the little girl away.
The little girl's cries gradually faded away. She would occasionally turn back to look at Rong Shu, and that look in her eyes filled Rong Shu with indescribable feelings.
"Feeling sorry for him?"
A cold, indifferent voice came from inside.
Rong Shu withdrew her gaze and looked at the man in front of her. She didn't ask any questions or answer any questions, but said, "I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."
That's all.
Rong Shu walked quickly past the man into the hall.
Xue Mingjie and the others followed.
Sheng Tingchen turned back to watch Rong Shu leave, then turned and got into his car.
Inside the lounge.
Rong Shu talked with the other party for nearly an hour.
That evening, I treated the other party to dinner, and the matter was considered resolved. After that, the project will be handed over to the person in charge of the second department to follow up on the whole process.
After seeing the other party off.
Rong Shu went back to the company, finished her work, and then, as if remembering something, searched on her computer for relevant news reports.
There is new information, but the report is still too general and the specific reasons are not clearly stated.
Just then.
Jiang Huaixu came to see her and asked about the project handover today. Rong Shu asked about Shenhe. It turned out that Shenhe had also signed a performance-based agreement with a subsidiary of Yunshan. A project of Shenhe had some problems at the beginning of the year. If it had succeeded, it might have succeeded. If the other party succeeded, they would have taken a piece of Yunshan and gained countless profits. Now it is clear that the final result is that they will have to spend all their assets to pay off the debt.
The game between capital is inherently bloody and ruthless.
Today, Madam Fan managed to find Sheng Tingchen with her daughter. I wonder how she knew his itinerary and even brought her youngest daughter along. It seems she hopes Sheng Tingchen will soften his heart.
But thinking of that little girl, I can't help but feel a pang of sadness.
Sometimes, being born into an ordinary family and living a simple and peaceful life is a kind of happiness.
"Why are you suddenly asking about Shenhe?" Jiang Huaixu asked.
Rong Shu explained the reason simply.
Jiang Huaixu said, "Well, there's nothing we can do about it."
Rong Shu nodded slightly and hummed in agreement, without saying anything more.
Afterwards, the two went downstairs together to get something to eat across from the company. It was Song Yan's Qi Yanchao who invited them to join them. They had gone out to run some errands together today and hadn't had dinner yet. They were already waiting for them in the store. Although Rong Shu wasn't hungry, she could eat a little more with them.
It's more convenient to walk there, so Rong Shu and Jiang Huaixu didn't drive.
After walking for a few minutes, we arrived at the traffic light intersection.
The green light came on, and the two walked towards the other side.
We were about to reach the other side of the street.
Suddenly a car went out of control and hurtled toward the sidewalk from the front, its blinding high beams making it impossible to open one's eyes.
"Xiao Shu!"
Jiang Huaixu grabbed Rong Shu's wrist.
In the blink of an eye.
Rong Shu only heard screams of terror from the crowd and the deafening crash of cars.
When Rong Shu came to her senses, she was already lying on top of Jiang Huaixu. She heard a muffled pain in her ear. Rong Shu suddenly looked up and saw the man's furrowed brows. She suddenly remembered that the injury on his back had just healed.
She quickly stood up, reached out to help him, and said in a panic, "Professor, are you alright?"
Jiang Huaixu helped Rong Shu sit up slowly, took off his glasses, and said, "It's alright, don't worry."
at this time.
The scene was already chaotic and in disarray.
The out-of-control car crashed into the roadside green belt and came to a stop.
There was still blood on the ground, and some passersby were injured and lying on the ground, which was truly shocking.
Fortunately, they were still some distance apart just now.
Rong Shu took out her phone and called Qi Yanchao. Rong Shu helped Jiang Huaixu wait by the roadside, looking at him with concern.
Jiang Huaixu comforted him, "Don't worry, it'll be nothing serious, probably just a superficial injury."
