The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 83 Let's experience the wickedness of human nature.

"do not mind."

Chu Jiaxue pursed her lips, her feelings a mix of emotions.

Lin Chen is quite thoughtful, but when he says he's adding trouble, does he mean he's adding trouble for himself or for others?

Chu Jiaxue started the car and headed towards the hotel.

Lin Chen leaned back in his seat and asked casually, "Is anyone willing to take out a loan?"

Chu Jiaxue bit her lip: "I've dealt with Hu Sen, the deputy branch manager of Guangze Bank, before, but I don't really like him."

Lin Chen smiled and asked, "Does he have feelings for you?"

Chu Jiaxue was surprised by Lin Chen's quick reaction and felt embarrassed, since Lin Chen was still her husband in a legal sense.

"He expressed his feelings for me, but I rejected him. Because of this, I've been trying to avoid anything related to Guangze Bank. Today, he suddenly called me, saying that a friend at the bank told him I'm applying for loans everywhere and asked if I need any help..."

Lin Chen curled his lip: "You believe in fairy tales where a princess is in trouble and a knight comes to her rescue?"

Chu Jiaxue's face flushed slightly: "We have to try, right? I have no other choice now."

Lin Chen sighed: "Want to hear a man's opinion?"

Chu Jiaxue said softly, "You mean he'll use this to blackmail me? If I accept his advances, he'll help me; if I don't, he'll just stand by and do nothing?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "You're not stupid, at least you can think of some of it."

笨？
Chu Jiaxue's expression was slightly angry: "A portion?"

Lin Chen replied, "There are no secrets in this industry. Since Hu Sen knows that you've been hitting roadblocks with your loan applications, he can naturally find out why. Unless Hu Sen has an extremely powerful background and can ignore external interference, his intervention to help you now would be tantamount to becoming an enemy of the Aotian Group."

"While it's true that there's a possibility that someone might help you despite external pressure because they like you, that possibility is extremely small. After all, the price to pay would be too high. In the end, he's just a deputy branch manager of a district bank. So, the most likely scenario is that he himself is part of the trap."

Chu Jiaxue's eyes widened: "Hu Sen is also in cahoots with the Qian family?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "The Qian family had Hailan Bank withdraw the company's working capital, and Aotian Group made arrangements to cut off your loan access. Just when you were at your wit's end, a vice president who liked you suddenly appeared and took the initiative to contact you, saying that he could help you. Isn't all of this a bit too coincidental?"

Chu Jiaxue paused for a few seconds: "I'm just here to give it a try. If he makes any unreasonable demands, I'll refuse."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, when we get to the hotel, I'll be stopped outside. You'll be facing him alone or several other people. Be careful, and if anything seems wrong, call me immediately."

Chu Jiaxue felt a strange sense of panic; Hu Sen might really have ill intentions!
But then again, if I trusted him, why did I ask Lin Chen to come with me on this trip? Wasn't it because I also felt uneasy about it?

Lin Chen noticed Chu Jiaxue's expression and didn't say anything more.

Some things don't happen until they do, and it always feels like we're just spreading alarmist rumors. Anyway, I'm already here, and I can guarantee her safety, so let her experience the wickedness of human nature for herself.

I'm here this time, but what about next time, and the time after that?

When the car arrived at the hotel, Lin Chen accompanied Chu Jiaxue upstairs to the private room they had reserved.

Four burly bodyguards stood at the door of the private room, and they opened the door for Chu Jiaxue.

"President Chu, please. President Hu has been waiting for a long time."

As Chu Jiaxue stepped inside, the man immediately reached out and stopped Lin Chen, saying, "Please wait outside."

Chu Jiaxue's heart skipped a beat; Lin Chen had indeed been right.

Without asking Lin Chen's identity, the four people stopped him without saying a word.

Lin Chen glanced inside the room; there were three men and one woman, seemingly having a lively conversation.

"Mr. Chu, I'll be waiting for you at the door."

Hu Sen, who was inside the room, stood up from his seat and said with a smile, "President Chu, I've been waiting for you for ages. Come on, let me introduce you to some friends."

Chu Jiaxue reluctantly put aside her worries and gave a polite smile: "President Hu, it's been a long time."

After exchanging pleasantries and sitting down, the dinner began.

Although Chu Jiaxue made an excuse that she was not feeling well, she could not avoid it and had no choice but to accept the half glass of red wine that Hu Sen poured for her.

If you need someone's help, and you refuse to drink alcohol, are you being disrespectful?
As Chu Jiaxue was talking to someone, she naturally didn't notice that there was already a little transparent liquid in the glass that Hu Sen poured for her. When the red wine was poured into the glass, the liquid instantly blended with the red wine.

The atmosphere at the dinner was pleasant, and Chu Jiaxue brought up her most pressing concern—the loan issue—at the opportune moment.

Hu Sen chuckled and said, "Two hundred and fifty million, right? What a coincidence. I happen to have a loan quota that I haven't met yet. Chuhe Group has a very low debt ratio, is developing rapidly, and is a high-quality enterprise. We feel at ease lending to Chuhe. It also solves my problem of disbursing loan quotas. Speaking of which, President Chu, you have helped me a lot."
