The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 82 Can you come with me?

What's your backup plan?

Lin Chen asked directly, "Qian Buyi set a trap for you, so you couldn't possibly not have noticed. Since you agreed to his demands and made a pledge, you must have something to rely on."

Chu Jiaxue looked slightly surprised. She realized that although Lin Chen was not even qualified to attend board meetings or company executive meetings, he knew everything about the company.

Since their late-night chat, Chu Jiaxue's impression of Lin Chen has improved considerably. She is also willing to tell Lin Chen about her unspeakable sorrows. Even though Lin Chen can't help her, it's good that he can listen to her.

"Yes, but it's useless now."

Lin Chen frowned: "What do you mean?"

Chu Jiaxue sighed, "I know Qian Buyi's plans, but I don't think he has the influence to make so many banks refuse to lend to us. Besides, the vice president of Pingjiang Commercial Bank is my father's good brother, and Chuhe Group's debt ratio is not high, making it a high-quality target for corporate lending..."

Hearing this, Lin Chen had a general idea of ​​the outcome: "So you found out that not only did the bank that had promised you the loan renege, but even the vice president who was your last hope rejected you, is that right?"

Chu Jiaxue looked distressed: "Yes, I don't understand. Although the Qian family has some connections and influence, it's impossible for them to be so powerful as to be able to interfere with the decisions of so many banks. Even my uncle, who has always been very supportive of me, rejected me."

Lin Chen asked, "How did he reject you? Did he give you any advice?"

Chu Jiaxue stared at Lin Chen in surprise: "How did you know he gave me advice?"

Lin Chen explained, "From your tone, I can tell that the vice president and your father are indeed very close. Now, under pressure, he refuses to help you, and he must feel somewhat guilty. He might have given you some hints and advice."

Chu Jiaxue pursed her lips: "Yes, he said he had difficulties and couldn't help me. He even advised me to give up, saying that I couldn't compete with the Qian family, so I should let go, or even sell the shares for a good price, break away from Chu He, and leave Pingjiang."

Lin Chen nodded, then suddenly asked, "Do you know about Aotian Group?"

Chu Jiaxue looked at Lin Chen with a puzzled expression: "Of course I know. He's a financial tycoon who started in Pingjiang City. Although his headquarters are in Pingjiang, his business has long been spread throughout the province."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "The Qian family is backed by the Aotian Group."

Chu Jiaxue looked astonished: "Aotian Group?"

Lin Chen nodded: "As you said, the Qian family could not possibly have that much power, but as a financial tycoon, Aotian Group naturally has enough power in the banking sector."

Chu Jiaxue's beautiful eyes widened: "The bank went back on its word and refused to lend me the money. Was it Aotian Group that did this? How do you know about this?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "It was a coincidence."

Chu Jiaxue felt conflicted. Lin Chen was new to the company and had only been there for a few days, yet he had already figured out the power behind the Qian family. However, Chu Jiaxue had been with the company for a long time and had dealt with Qian Buyi for so long, but she knew nothing about it.

A sense of frustration welled up in Chu Jiaxue's heart. Was she really incapable of managing the entire company?

"Thank you for reminding me. I'll think of something else. You should go to sleep first."

Lin Chen nodded and said, "You should also get some rest so you can be in good shape for the battle."

After Lin Chen left, Chu Jiaxue looked at the empty doorway with a complicated expression.

……

Working days are like days of slacking off. Although Lin Chen is the team leader, he basically doesn't handle anything. He just calls on Gao Feng for help whenever there's something to do, making his days easy and enjoyable.

Chu Jiaxue is busy running around trying to get loans every day, but it seems like she's not making much progress.

Friday arrived in the blink of an eye, and just as he was about to leave work, Lin Chen suddenly received a call from Chu Jiaxue.

Lin Chen was somewhat surprised; this was probably the first time Chu Jiaxue had taken the initiative to call him.

Do you have time after get off work?

Lin Chen replied, "I have time. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Chu Jiaxue hesitated for a moment, "I have a dinner party that I have to attend, but I'm a little worried about going alone. Could you come with me?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "A dinner party about loans?"

Chu Jiaxue nodded in agreement.

Lin Chen frowned: "Why would the other party want to have a private meal with you instead of talking to you during work hours?"

Chu Jiaxue's voice inexplicably weakened slightly: "Yes."

Lin Chen roughly understood and smiled, saying, "Alright, I'll go with you."

"Thank you!"

Chu Jiaxue visibly breathed a sigh of relief. It had taken her a long time to muster the courage to call Lin Chen, since although she and Lin Chen lived in the same house, they didn't have any real relationship.

“Where to eat?”

"Shanglin Hotel".

hotel?

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow, but offered no comment: "Meet at the hotel or go together?"

Chu Jiaxue replied, "You can ride in my car."

Lin Chen readily agreed: "Okay."

Chu Jiaxue instructed, "After you get off work, don't rush off. Let's meet in the garage later and leave together."

"Row."

After getting off work, Lin Chen went to the garage and sat in his car playing on his phone. About twenty minutes later, Chu Jiaxue came down and called Lin Chen.

Lin Chen arrived at Chu Jiaxue's BMW X7, opened the back door, and got in.

Lin Chen glanced at Chu Jiaxue staring at him in the rearview mirror and laughed, "I'm not sitting in the back to act like the boss, but to avoid being seen with you and causing trouble. Of course, if you mind, I can sit in the passenger seat or drive."
