Chapter 82: Pulling Investment
Many questions flashed through my mind. The conversation that was happening in my house just a second ago was leaked the next. Could it be that one of our servants deliberately leaked the information to the outside world?
"Where did you hear about this?" I couldn't help but ask.
Ge Zeyu's eyes grew even darker as he asked, "So this is true?"
With a ding, the elevator doors opened, interrupting our conversation. I took his arm and led him into the office.
"Why are you so angry? Anyone who didn't know better would think you like me." I couldn't help but probe. Ever since Fu Xinyi asked me that question not long ago, my heart has been restless whenever I see Ge Zeyu.
However, I'm not sure if Ge Zeyu shares the same thoughts as me.
I know him very well. If I confess my feelings but he doesn't reciprocate, we might not even be able to maintain our current relationship and way of getting along.
If I was confused before, I am now certain that I like Ge Zeyu.
Thinking back to his past life, he fought against Song Chenhao for my sake.
He helped me so much in this life too. I don't know when I'll see him, but I feel incredibly at ease.
Whenever danger arises, he is the first person I think of.
Thinking of this, my heart skipped a beat. Although I had a smile on my face, my eyes were fixed on his face, not daring to miss a single expression.
Ge Zeyu snorted and turned his head to the side. "Who would like you? You're so stupid!"
"I came to see you because I heard that you are going to marry Fu Xinyi. I don't want my mother to be sad if she hears about it. She likes you very much, and this news is a slap in the face to our Ge family."
Hearing this, the anger in my heart suddenly deflated. Sure enough, I had been overthinking things. In our previous life, we knew each other for so many years, and he never said he liked me.
Later, he went to the army, and I married Song Chenhao. During this time, I heard that he had also found a girlfriend, and the two of them were about to get married.
After that, I never heard from him again, and when I finally saw him again, he was already gone.
So what was I hoping for just now?
I took a deep breath, suppressing the disappointment and bitterness in my heart, and quickly explained, "Fu Xinyi did come to our house today and mentioned wanting to arrange a business marriage to solve our current troubles, but I have already refused."
The fact that the Jiang and Ge families intended to get engaged had already spread throughout their social circle. Although no special banquet was held, everyone knew about it over the years.
No matter what, Ge Zeyu has helped me so much, so I can't possibly tarnish their reputation in this kind of situation.
I made a promise, and Ge Zeyu remained silent. Then he asked me how I planned to resolve this trouble.
I silently shook my head. There really wasn't a better solution at the moment. The best solution I could think of was to upgrade our core concept, but that would require a lot of funding.
My dad is currently collaborating with the Jiang family to develop that piece of land, and he's already short of funds, so there's no way he can afford to give me any more money.
If I were to seek investment at this time, it's highly likely that someone else would take advantage of the situation and cause the entire company to fall into someone else's hands, thus destroying all the hard work that Su Jiayi and I have put in.
After hearing my analysis, Ge Zeyu didn't say anything more. He pondered for a few seconds and then asked, "How much money do you need?"
I didn't say anything, but I already guessed what he meant. The Ge family had been involved in politics for many years and had accumulated some wealth, but because of his status, Uncle Ge couldn't do business.
To avoid suspicion, Aunt Su Qing only invested in a few companies, holding some shares, and then had her family members start companies and do some business.
But this is a lot of money, and I don't want Ge Zeyu to help me. If Ge Zeyu helps me ask my family for help, he will have to accept his father's arrangements in the future.
“I don’t need your help,” I said immediately. “I’ll figure out the investment myself.”
“If you had a better idea, you wouldn’t have waited for Fu Xinyi to come knocking on your door.” He stood up and walked to me, lowering his eyes slightly to look at me, his tone softening, “Why are you being stubborn at a time like this?”
"Don't worry, I don't want my dad to send me to the army yet, so I won't take money from home. But I can try to persuade my friends to invest in your company."
Hearing this, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief. If it was just a few friends in his circle investing, then there would be no worries.
When the time comes, we'll stick to business principles; as long as we can offer sufficient benefits, that's fine.
Ge Zeyu organized a gathering that very night, but he didn't take me with him.
Late at night, I received a call from Ge Zeyu. It wasn't his voice on the other end, but an unfamiliar voice, "Sister-in-law, Brother Yu has had too much to drink. We're at the Sunshine Bar. Could you please come and pick us up?"
I immediately agreed, changed my clothes, and went out.
Because it was getting late, I didn't call a driver. I had my own driver's license anyway, so I just drove away.
When we arrived at the Sunshine Bar, the crowd was already starting to disperse. There were many people standing or squatting at the entrance, some already drunk or half-drunk.
I quickly found the private room according to the address. Ge Zeyu was leaning on the sofa, reeking of alcohol and burning hot.
He covered his eyes with one hand, only revealing half of his chin.
I quickly went over and put my hand on Ge Zeyu's arm, but he suddenly took his hand off and subconsciously tried to shake me off.
His movements instantly relaxed when his gaze met mine, and he stared at me intently, his eyes still deep and unwavering.
There were several other young people in the private room who stared wide-eyed at the scene. "It's really strange. After Brother Yu got drunk, we tried to help him leave, but he wouldn't let us touch him. As soon as we tried to touch him, he glared at us with those fierce eyes."
"Sister-in-law is really something. She subdued him as soon as she arrived. It seems that Brother Yu only recognizes you."
Hearing their teasing remarks, my cheeks flushed, but I couldn't say anything in response.
Aside from being somewhat silent, Ge Zeyu seemed no different from usual, except that his gaze was more intense than ever.
I quickly helped Ge Zeyu up, said goodbye to them, and put him in the car, fastening his seatbelt.
Just as I was about to get up and walk around to the other side to get the car, I suddenly felt a pull on my arm.
I froze for a moment, not quite reacting, before I found myself uncontrollably lying on his lap—
