Chapter 175 - Heaven and Earth
Shen Family.
Shen Xiong, Fang Xia, and Shen Lin ate their meal dejectedly, and after sending Lin Xuan off, the family of three were solemn.
Shen Xiong asked, “What did she say?”
When Lin Xuan was present, it was not convenient for him to ask, but now that he left, Shen Xiong became anxious.
“Qianshu said that she can’t help with this matter.”
Shen Xiong was furious. “Such an ungrateful brat!”
Fang Xia was silent. It was difficult to say clearly how much eighteen years of upbringing costed or how were they going to calculate it. But after all, they did raise Shen Qianshu for eighteen years. Thus, if they really faced any difficulties, she would surely not leave them to die.
Shen Lin asked, “Dad, is the company really in trouble?”
Shen Xiong replied. “Yes, the cash flow gap is really big, and including the accident in the gambling quarry during the first half of the year, we incurred a huge loss. The cash flow gap is no longer able to offset, and we need to continue to pump in huge amounts of funds to cover the deficit. If not, I will lose my position as Chairman, and Shen Family’s management right will also be passed into other’s hands.”
“The situation is that serious?” Shen Lin was shocked. She knew that the family was facing some difficulties recently, but she did not know that it was that serious. “Is Uncle Lin not helping us?”
The two families had always been helping each other.
“The gap is too big this time, and Lin Family already pumped in eighty over million dollars and had long withdrawn. You are not even married into the family, and even if are, they might not be willing to throw in over a hundred millions dollars. It is also not certain whether we will manage to survive. Currently, the best way is to either find another two suppliers to relieve our stress or to lend funds from the bank. Shen Qianshu and CEO Li do not have a simple relationship. CEO Li became a shareholder of GK, so if we can secure GK’s power of attorney, we will still be able to take a breather. Or maybe… AG’s power of attorney.” Shen Xiong closed his eyes slightly. His face was solemn. He was also utterly exhausted lately due to the company’s matters.
“I have told you long ago not to gamble, not to gamble. You just didn’t want to listen to me.” Fang Xia could not help but grumble.
“Now is not the time to complain, didn’t I wean away from gambling already?” Shen Xiong said. “Quick, find Qianshu. It doesn’t matter whether you give in to her or apologize, but you must move her with your words and get GK’s power of attorney.”
Fang Xia frowned and said, “Qianshu has already grown up and is difficult to gauge. She had already firmly rejected us. After all, we treated her too ruthlessly back then.”
Shen Lin’s face turned pale. Treated her too ruthlessly?
Mom, you think that taking her works and forcing her to quit the jewelry designing industry is really ruthless?
So what you meant was that I made a mistake?
“So what if she has grown up? She was once our daughter, and we raised her up for eighteen years. Our upbringing is greater than anything. Will she still to leave us to die? She is our only hope currently,” Sheng Xiong said.
Shen Lin felt really uncomfortable after hearing that.
What do you mean by only hope? Once our daughter?
Dad, Mom, then what I am?
“Dad, Mom, back then in the hospital, Qianshu had already severed ties with us. What are you still hoping for her to do? She will never help us. Why don’t we beg Lin Family for help? We are such old family friends, and they will not turn a blind eye,” Shen Lin softly said with an indescribable panic in her voice.
She did not want Shen Qianshu to help her family.
She did not want Shen Qianshu to have any place in her family.
Shen Qianshu was kicked out by Shen Family long ago. She was not qualified to step into the family again.
“Lin Family will not help us anymore.”
Shen Lin thought for a moment and said, “Dad, I have another way.”
“What way?”
“AG’s President Ye Ling admires me a lot, and he once invited me to work in AG’s design department and also offered very good remuneration. There was news from AG’ President Office that he likes me a lot, so if I win in this upcoming design competition, I may have some bargaining power to discuss with him.”
