The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 53 You're still too green to fight me.
Chuhe Group, conference room.

Chu Jiaxue concluded her explanation, saying, "For the company to develop and break through bottlenecks, investing in new industries and finding new profit points is absolutely necessary. I hope everyone can support this investment."

Shareholder Wang Wei laughed and said, "Acquiring Linhai Sixth Pharmaceutical Factory will cost a lot of money. Our company doesn't have that much cash on hand, and taking out a loan would be very risky."

Shareholder He Bin chimed in, "That's right, we'd need at least a loan of 200 million yuan. That would add a huge burden to the company. The company's business is developing steadily right now, so why be so hasty? Taking too big a step can lead to trouble."

The crowd burst into laughter, their laughter light and frivolous.

Chu Jiaxue's face was cold, and she was filled with resentment.

A group of short-sighted shareholders who are more likely to cause trouble than achieve anything—does such a company really have a future?

Can I really persevere?

Wang Wei turned his head and said, "Mr. Qian, what do you think? We'll listen to you."

Chu Jiaxue turned her head and looked at Qian Buyi, the vice president who smiled calmly like an old fox. She had already given up all hope for the outcome of this meeting.

Qian Buyi has always been at odds with himself, even opposing for the sake of opposing. Once he voices his opposition, the matter is settled.

Lin Chen's words from last night resurfaced in Chu Jiaxue's mind, leaving her feeling utterly exhausted and disheartened.

Qian Buyi is in his fifties, slightly overweight, and always smiling, appearing very approachable. However, those who know him well know that he is a ruthless character who will devour people without spitting out the bones. If you are deceived by his appearance, he will probably sell you out, and you will still be helping him count the money.

Qian Buyi spoke calmly, "President Chu, I have a few questions."

Chu Jiaxue was disheartened, but she managed to remain calm on the surface: "Go ahead."

Qian Buyi smiled and asked, "Are you confident about acquiring Linhai Sixth Pharmaceutical Factory?"

Chu Jiaxue answered affirmatively: "I have spoken with their chairman. As long as we reach a consensus, we can sign the contract at any time. The price will be around 200 million, and there won't be much fluctuation."

Qian Buyi nodded and continued, "How much do we need to borrow?"

Chu Jiaxue had actually mentioned these points earlier, but she could only answer them again: "In the early stages, we can draw on the company's working capital to support us. What we lack is the money to purchase the goods, which can be obtained through a loan of 200 million."

Qian Buyi smiled and asked, "Has the loan been agreed upon?"

Chu Jiaxue nodded: "I've talked to several banks, and a loan of 200 million is no problem."

Qian Buyi nodded and smiled, "The company does need to expand to grow, and I can support you. However, a loan of 200 million plus the withdrawal of company funds will have a huge impact on the company. What if things fail?"

See the picture poorly.

Chu Jiaxue immediately understood Qian Buyi's intentions: he wanted her to take full responsibility. If they succeeded, the credit would belong to everyone, the profits would be shared, and everyone would rejoice together. But if they failed, the responsibility would fall solely on her, and she would have to bear it.

How should we take responsibility?

Resigning to take responsibility and being kicked out of the company was the only option.

All eyes were on Chu Jiaxue's face, with the vast majority looking on with amusement and schadenfreude, and only a very few filled with worry.

Chu Jiaxue was able to sit in the position of president not only because of her ability, but also because she was a decisive person. After hesitating for only two seconds, she said in a deep voice, "If I fail, it means that I am not capable enough to lead the company, and I will resign!"

Qian Buyi's eyes lit up, and without saying a word, he raised his hand: "Okay, I support President Chu's decision!"

Seeing how hard it was to earn money, everyone supported the idea and raised their hands in unison to show their support.

It passed unanimously!

After the meeting, shareholder Wang Wei caught up with Qian Buyi and asked in a low voice, "Brother Qian, what are your thoughts on this?"

Qian Buyi calmly said, "She can't handle this."

Wang Wei asked curiously, "Do you have any inside information?"

Qian Buyi said calmly, "Someone at the bank will put in a good word. After she's finalized the deal with the pharmaceutical company, paid the first installment, and signed the contract, she'll find that she suddenly can't get the loan..."

Wang Wei's eyes lit up: "The contract has been signed and the first payment has been made. If she breaches the contract, not only will she not be able to get the money back, but she will also face a high penalty for breach of contract. If the bank can't lend her the money, she will be helpless and will have no choice but to resign. Lao Qian, you can take over and use your own methods to complete the loan, solve the problem, and take over smoothly. From then on, you can completely kick the Chu family out of the game, killing two birds with one stone."

Qian Buyi smiled nonchalantly: "She said she would resign, and I supported her. She didn't hold the company back, so you can't blame me for any problems."

Wang Wei gave a thumbs up: "That was a brilliant move, Brother Qian, you've got it!"

Qian Buyi smiled slightly: "Since you've expressed your support, then let your subordinates work hard and sign the pharmaceutical contract as soon as possible."

Wang Wei smiled and said, "We've already conducted the investigation and reached a pretty good agreement. All that's left is for us to reach a consensus internally. Now that the consensus has been reached, if we don't procrastinate, the contract will be finalized in three days at most."

Qian Buyi chuckled lightly: "As soon as possible."

Wang Wei flattered, "Brother Qian, I've always supported you. If there's any benefit, you'd better think of me."

Qian Buyi said arrogantly, "Don't worry, you'll get your share of the benefits. I have the support of the Aotian Group behind me. The company will only truly develop under my leadership. As for her, she's just a little girl. Humph, she's still too green!"
