The beautiful CEO falls in love with me
Chapter 349 - 349 338 335 Persuasion

349: Chapter 338 Chapter 335: Persuasion 349: Chapter 338 Chapter 335: Persuasion The two immediately left Tianya Group and hopped into Li Ruo’s car, with Captain Cao driving crazily toward villa No.1.

When Li Ruo arrived at villa No.1, she suddenly felt embarrassed.

After all, her aunt was now part of another family, like water thrown out after marriage.

Could she still borrow money from her?

Thinking this, Li Ruo stopped in her tracks.

“Ruoruo, what’s wrong?” Fatty Liu asked anxiously.

“Nothing!” Li Ruo shook her head and said, “I think we better forget it.”

“How can we do that!” Fatty Liu immediately shook his head and said, “We’ve come all this way.

Wouldn’t it be a disappointment not to ask?”

“Aunt, I’m afraid she won’t lend me the money,” Li Ruo expressed her worry.

“Then…

let me help you ask!” Fatty Liu immediately said with a smile.

“Okay!” Li Ruo nodded immediately, a smile spreading across her face, and then she rushed inside.

After the two entered, the old madam was resting on the sofa with her eyes closed, and two maids were massaging her and chatting with her.

When the maids saw Li Ruo and Fatty Liu enter, they promptly informed the old madam and then withdrew.

“Xiao Ruo, Baobao, how come you’ve returned so soon?” The old madam looked at them, puzzled.

“Auntie, we came back so early because we have something to ask you!” Fatty Liu said, out of breath.

“Oh, what is it?” the old madam asked, startled.

Fatty Liu took a big gulp of water and then said, “The Tianya Group’s North District project is facing difficulties.

The bank loan hasn’t come through, and the investors have also suspended their investments.

So…

we were hoping to borrow some money from you!”

“How much?” the old madam asked with leisure, holding her teacup.

“One hundred billion should be enough!” Fatty Liu held up one finger.

Pfft…

The old madam immediately spat out the tea in her mouth, looking at Fatty Liu in astonishment, and said, “Do you think our family is a bank?”

“But…

you definitely can think of a way!” Fatty Liu pleaded.

“Hmph, is it you borrowing the money, or someone else?” the old madam glared at Fatty Liu.

Fatty Liu was taken aback and immediately tugged at Li Ruo’s hand, whispering, “Ruoruo, quickly talk to your aunt, she’ll definitely lend you the money!”

“I…” Li Ruo hesitated a lot before finally saying, “Aunt, the company is facing difficulties, so we are hoping to borrow money from you, hoping you can be generous!”

The old madam squinted her eyes and then looked at Li Ruo with a sly grin, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, but just eerily watching her.

This made Li Ruo very anxious.

Fatty Liu, standing beside her, was also slightly anxious as he kept making faces at the old madam.

Yet, the old madam didn’t respond.

After thinking for a moment, the old madam finally showed a smile and said, “It’s not impossible for me to lend you the money!”

“Ah, aunt, you agreed?” Li Ruo was immediately delighted.

“However, I have one condition!” The old madam revealed a peculiar smile.

“Please tell me!” Li Ruo asked, overwhelmed with joy.

“If you marry Liu Baobao, I will agree to lend you the money.

How about that?” the old madam looked at Li Ruo and leisurely said, “One hundred billion is not a small amount; I can’t just lend it recklessly.

Of course, if you marry Baobao, then it’ll be much easier for me to justify this.

After all, Baobao’s family is much easier to negotiate with!”

Li Ruo was immediately caught in a dilemma.

Fatty Liu was ecstatic.

He secretly gave the old madam a thumbs up and then turned to Li Ruo saying, “Ruoruo, let’s get married.

This way, our Liu and Li families will be allied through marriage, and then, my money will be your money, right?”

“No, let me think about it!” Li Ruo, head bowed, then got up and went upstairs.

Fatty Liu and the old madam sat in the hall discussing.

“Auntie, your method really works!” Fatty Liu gave the old madam a thumbs up, grinning, “This way, Ruoruo will definitely agree to marry me!”

“Baobao, you must understand your aunt’s sincerity!” Old Madam gently patted Fatty Liu and then said, “Xiao Ruo is a filial child, she will ultimately agree for the sake of not letting her father’s lifelong efforts be destroyed.

But, you must treat her well in the future!”

“Don’t worry!” Fatty Liu revealed an excited smile.

In the following days, Tianya Group became more deeply mired.

Their desperate need for a large amount of funds was like a fiercely burning fire, in urgent need of a heavy downpour to extinguish it.

Unfortunately, what came was not rain, but gasoline.

On March 27, the City Government issued a policy reform notice to the Northern City District project subsidiary of Tianya Group.

Because the Northern City District project was very large, the construction area was extensive, consequently affecting Jianghuai City No.1 Middle School and several elementary schools and universities located in the Northern City District due to the interference from construction machinery.

Jianghuai City No.1 Middle School complained to the relevant departments.

June 7 was the college entrance examination date, and most students were fervently preparing for the exams.

Thus, the relevant departments immediately issued a notice to Tianya Group to cease operations for two months.

This caused some investors to back off.

After all, for such a large group to be unable to handle such public relations, it was definitely a stain.

Li Ruo was furious that day.

“Who didn’t do their job properly!” Li Ruo angrily slammed the table and asked, “Who is following up with the public relations work with the City Government!”

“Mr.

Li, it was the people from Group One!” The business manager from Group Two took the opportunity to accuse them.

“Yes, it was them!” The people from the other business groups nodded.

There was no one from Group One at the meeting.

Since Ye Chen had left, no one took responsibility for Group One.

Furthermore, to this day, the people from Group One had mostly been transferred to the Northern City District project subsidiary.

Officially, they were from Group One, but in reality, they were from the Northern City District project subsidiary.

“Starting from now, dissolve Group One and let the people from Group Two take over!” Li Ruo roared thunderously.

On the spot, all the people from Group One were dissolved, and they were sent back to continue their previous work at Tianya Group, while the people from Group Two directly took over the ready-made positions.

The credits originally established by Group One were all snatched away by Group Two.

This infuriated Liu Shang and Fang Fei.

A group of them sat in the office, dejected.

“Vice President Ye is not here, are we just going to let others bully us?” Chen Qiong said tearfully.

“Exactly, I heard that at today’s meeting, Group Two people spoke ill of us in front of Mr.

Li!” Little Ai was almost livid with rage.

“Good people are bullied, good horses are ridden!” Liu Shang ground his teeth, threw his jacket onto the chair and said, “I’d rather quit.

Unless Ye Chen comes back, don’t expect me to return to Tianya Group!”

“Me too!” Fang Fei slammed her chest angrily down onto the desk.

“I’m leaving too!” Chen Qiong had a strong personality, and being bullied like this, she naturally didn’t want to stay any longer.

No matter how high the salary or how good the benefits were, without dignity it was all meaningless.

Group One collectively resigned, which shocked the entire Tianya Group.

When everyone looked towards the top executives of Tianya Group, Fatty Liu slipped out.

He had taken over Ye Chen’s job as vice president, and he single-handedly shielded this incident, saying, “The matter of employees staying or leaving is their freedom; the executives can’t stop them.”

That statement immediately hurt a lot of people.

In the past, even if a janitor at Tianya Group resigned, Li Ruo would personally inquire about the reasons.

But this time, with six or seven people resigning at once, the upper management remained indifferent.

How could it not hurt people’s feelings?

Tianya Group was facing such a personnel crisis for the first time.

The company had previously been united, but now, there was disarray among the staff.

Unaware of these events, Tianya Group’s CEO was still doing things her own way.

Group Two had replaced the work of Group One.

There was no progress on the public relations issue at all.

These people were merely a bunch of paratroopers, while Group One’s team had been with Ye Chen from the beginning, striving hard step by step.

The Northern City District project subsidiary was now in a completely stagnant state, not only generating no profits for Tianya Group but also continuously consuming the company’s resources like a huge parasite draining Tianya Group.

After half a month, Tianya Group’s situation had still not improved.

Li Ruo also grew quietly anxious.

“Ruoruo, really, you don’t have to work so hard!” Fatty Liu clung around Li Ruo every day, like a shadow following her wherever she went.

Initially, Li Ruo found it annoying, but gradually she got used to it.

Fatty Liu begged, “Just marry me!”

“No, I’ve always regarded you as a brother since I was young; I have absolutely no feelings for you!” Li Ruo immediately shook her head.

In fact, deep in Li Ruo’s heart, she always harbored the shadow of Ye Chen.

These days, she often woke up from her sleep crying.

Even in her dreams, she whispered the name of Ye Chen.

That man who always laughed around her, that man who looked at her with a hint of lust in his eyes.

Why had he unknowingly engraved himself so deeply into her marrow?

“It’s okay, feelings can be cultivated slowly!” Fatty Liu hurriedly shook his head.

“That won’t work either!” Li Ruo hung her head.

“Would you really watch your father’s lifelong efforts be destroyed by your own hands?” Fatty Liu tried indirectly to persuade Li Ruo.
