Abstinence Pei, don't be too sweet when chasing your wife

Jiang Chengjun came out of the bank president's office, his legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and every step he took was extremely difficult. He tightly grasped his briefcase, and the bank's cold rejection was like a heavy hammer, completely shattering his last fantasy.

"Mr. Jiang, it's not that we don't want to help you. Your company is in such a situation now. Your credit rating keeps dropping, negative news is everywhere, your partners are withdrawing their investment, and your stock price has plummeted. The risk is simply too great. We really can't lend you a loan." The president's decisive words echoed in his ears. Every word was like a sharp needle, piercing his heart.

At this moment, he knew clearly in his heart that the road to borrowing from the bank had been completely blocked. Now, he only had the narrow and thorny road left to go, which was to borrow money from Gu Fanxing.

The night was like a heavy black cloth, weighing heavily on Jiang Chengjun's heart.

He dragged his legs, which felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and slowly walked towards his home.

Today, he is going to ask his family for the crucial 10% of shares, which is the key to his deal with Gu Fanxing and the last hope for the company to revive.

As soon as he stepped into the house, the warm yellow light shone on his tired face, but it could not dispel the coldness around him.

His mother came out of the kitchen, still holding a spatula in her hand. Seeing his miserable appearance, her eyes were full of heartache: "Chengjun, why are you so thin? Is the company's work particularly difficult?"

Jiang Chengjun forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, and said in a hoarse voice: "Mom, I have something to tell you."

At this time, my father came out of the study, holding a newspaper in his hand, his brows slightly frowned, "I have heard something about the company. What is going on?"

Jiang Chengjun took a deep breath and told his parents everything about his meeting with Gu Fanxing and the harsh conditions she had put forward.

After hearing this, the father dropped the newspaper in his hand to the ground with a "smack". Veins popped out on his forehead and he shouted angrily, "Look at what you have done! How many times did I tell you to be down-to-earth and stick to the bottom line? You just wouldn't listen! Now you have made the company into such a mess, and Gu Fanxing has it under his control! 30% of the shares, do you know what this means? This is giving the company away!"

The mother also put away her distressed look, her face full of disappointment, her voice tearful: "Chengjun, you disappoint us so much. When you were fooling around with that woman, did you ever think about today? Now you've dragged the whole family down with you, and all the hard work we've put in this life is going to be wasted by you!"

Jiang Chengjun lowered his head, not daring to look his parents in the eye, his lips trembling, "Dad, Mom, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. But now is not the time to pursue responsibility, the company is about to go bankrupt, if I can't get this 30% of the shares to trade with Gu Fanxing, our whole family will be finished."

My father was so angry that he paced back and forth in the living room, cursing as he walked: "Are you scared now? What were you doing before? You've messed up the company like this, how can we believe that you can do it this time? Maybe you'll mess it up again after you get the shares!"

Jiang Chengjun was filled with anxiety. He knew that it would be difficult for him to convince his parents. He suddenly thought of his sister Jiang Xue. He quietly sent a message to Jiang Xue, asking her to come home and help.

After a while, Jiang Xue hurried back.

As soon as she entered the house, she felt the tense atmosphere at home. Jiang Chengjun looked at her with a pleading look.

Jiang Xue knew very well that once her brother lost power, her life would be difficult.

She walked up to her parents, her eyes slightly red, and said anxiously: "Dad, Mom, don't be angry yet. Brother was really wrong this time, but now is not the time to be angry. If the company goes bankrupt, our family will be finished, and we don't know how to live in the future. If we agree to Gu Fanxing's conditions now, there is at least a glimmer of hope."

Mother looked at Jiang Xue and sighed helplessly: "Xiaoxue, your brother did such a thing, it really disappointed us."

Jiang Xue held her mother's hand and said earnestly, "Mom, I know you are sad, but my brother has realized his mistakes. He has suffered a lot during this period. Please trust him again this time. I believe my brother will change his ways in the future."

The father snorted coldly: "He said he would change his ways? Aren't the lessons we've taught you enough?"

Jiang Xue looked at her father and said seriously, "Dad, this time is different. My brother is really desperate now, and he has no chance to make mistakes. You give him the shares for the sake of our family. When the company gets better, everything will be fine."

The mother sighed, her eyes full of helplessness and entanglement: "Xiaoxue, it's not that we are cruel and don't want to help him. Your grandfather said that he will not give Chengjun a penny, and will not let the family interfere. Let him bear the consequences himself. If we help him, how can we explain to your grandfather?"

My father went on to say, "You know your grandfather's prestige in the family. He is really angry this time. If we go against his wishes, we will never be able to hold our heads up in the Jiang family again."

These words from his parents were like a bucket of cold water, completely extinguishing the last hope in Jiang Chengjun's heart.

He originally still held a glimmer of hope, but at this moment, despair overwhelmed him like a tide.

Jiang Chengjun's chest rose and fell violently, his eyes full of resentment and resentment: "Grandpa said he won't help, so he won't help? This is a matter of life and death, and you are so afraid of him that you don't even care about your own son!"

His father was enraged by his appearance. He pointed at him, his voice trembling with anger: "How dare you yell? You deserve all this! We have worked hard all our lives to save up this little fortune, not for you to squander it like this! Now you have pushed yourself to a dead end, and you want to take the whole family with you to be buried with you?"

"I know it's my fault, and I'm trying to make up for it, but you don't even give me a chance! I just want to save the company and this family, why don't you understand!"

The mother looked at her son who was out of control and burst into tears: "Chengjun, it's hard for us too. Your grandfather's words are like a tight spell, we dare not disobey."

At this stalemate, Jiang Xue quickly walked to Jiang Chengjun, squatted down, and patted his back gently, trying to calm him down.

She raised her head and looked at her parents with a firm gaze: "Dad, Mom, my brother has collapsed now. Can you really bear it? Although grandpa is angry, he certainly doesn't want the company to be gone. We help my brother this time without telling grandpa. When the company gets better, maybe grandpa will calm down and understand us. If we don't help now, we will definitely regret it in the future."

After hearing what Jiang Xue said, the balance in the mother's heart began to waver, and she looked at Jiang's father with a pleading look.

Father Jiang frowned and remained silent for a long time, with a fierce struggle in his heart.

On the one hand, there is the father's majesty and family rules, and on the other hand, there is the son's pleading and the future of the family.

Finally, my father sighed and said slowly: "Chengjun, we will trust you this time. I hope you won't let us down completely."

Jiang Chengjun nodded quickly and promised solemnly: "Dad, I remember. I will be a good person and run the company well in the future. I will not let you down again."

The father sighed and said, "Then let's complete the formalities as soon as possible. I hope you can do what you say."

Jiang Chengjun got the 10% stake and held it tightly in his hand, as if he was holding the last straw.

But there was no joy in his heart, instead he was shrouded in deep uneasiness.

He knew that this was just the beginning of a difficult journey, and Gu Fanxing's conditions were like a sword of Damocles hanging high in the air, which could fall at any time.

After learning about this, Jiang Xue became more and more uneasy. She decided to hide it from Jiang Chengjun and help him secretly investigate Gu Fanxing, trying to find her flaws to prevent her brother from falling into despair again.
