In the original drama, the child was not saved, but now the time and environment are different, and the outcome is unknown.
"But Chen Yu didn't seem to want it. Your sister-in-law called Gu Jia all night yesterday just for this matter."
Why was Xu Huanshan so active in telling Chen Xu about this? It was Gu Jia’s request.
She hoped that Chen Xu could do his brother's work, or tell the news to Chen's mother who was far away in Shanxi; there is no elder who doesn't like children.
"My brother is stubborn. It's useless to persuade him. It's better to give him some time and let him think it through himself."
Of course Chen Xu saw through Xu Huanshan's intention, but this was a thankless task and he didn't want to get involved.
"There is another thing. Lao Wan's payment for the goods has been delayed for more than half a year and he still hasn't transferred it to us. I am so anxious that I want to sue him in court."
"Then go ahead and sue them. Although our company doesn't have a legal department, we can hire a lawyer."
Lao Wan is referring to Mr. Wan who wanted to take advantage of Gu Jia in the original drama. He was Jiamei's largest customer before Chen Xu invested in the company. Even now, there are still many orders given to Jiamei.
"After all, we have been working together for so many years. It would be inappropriate to take this to court..."
Going to court would mean a complete break between the two, and even if he won the case, it was uncertain when he could get the money. Xu Huanshan was full of concerns.
"I told you long ago that this guy is boring and you shouldn't do business with him. Forget it, it's useless to say this now. How much does he owe us in total?"
"Last year plus the first half of this year, the total is more than 2200 million."
When the finance department came up with this data yesterday, Xu Huanshan was also shocked.
"How many?"
Although Chen Xu didn't care much about the company's affairs, he still knew how much the total assets were, which was almost one-tenth.
"Because you are very quick to pay for the orders you bring in, the company's capital chain has never had any problems. I was also preparing a large order from Ningbo and only discovered this when I needed to pay for materials."
Chen Xu had said long ago that he would not take Mr. Wan's orders, but Xu Huanshan and Gu Jia also had their own ideas;
You should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others. Now, 80% of Jiamei Fireworks' orders come from Chen Xu. They do not take orders from Mr. Wan, and Chen Xu directly takes all the sales. This is something they cannot accept.
"So you're blaming me for this?"
Chen Xu was unhappy. Money is a small matter, but that's not how things are done. You have your own little ideas and want to leave a way out for yourself. I can understand all that, but you have to do your own thing well and don't let me help you clean up your mess.
"I didn't say I blamed you. This must be Lao Wan's fault. I'll go ahead and ask him for the money."
At this point, Xu Huanshan had no choice but to leave Chen Xu's office in disappointment.
In this life, Chen Xu only invested but did not start a business or set up a company just to avoid these troubles, but he did not expect that it would still come to him. In a bad mood, he skipped work, bought a bouquet of flowers, and prepared to go to the hospital to see Wang Manni.
At Pudong People's Hospital, Chen Xu's car had not yet been turned off when Gu Jia called.
"Sister Jia?"
At this time, Chen Xu certainly knew why Gu Jia called.
"Chen Xu, Huanshan just told me about Mr. Wan's overdue payment for goods. Don't worry, he and I are old acquaintances, and we will definitely get the money back as soon as possible."
Gu Jiake didn't know that Chen Xu didn't take Jiamei's assets seriously. In her opinion, money is no small matter. If the two families were unhappy because of this, it would be a loss.
"Okay, I understand, Sister Jia. How can I not trust you to do things? I have something else to do. Let's talk next time."
Having said that, Chen Xu hung up the phone.
I would never believe that Lao Wan could pay the full amount for the goods so readily. I don’t know who gave Gu Jia the courage and confidence.
Instead of thinking about these useless things, I’d better take a look at the fish I raise first.
That’s right, not only Chen Yu raises fish, but Chen Xu also raises fish; of course, these fish are not those fish, and Chen Xu’s fish cannot be kept in a fish tank.
Chapter 171 Asking for help
If you are rich, good-looking, and patient enough, it is not difficult to pick up girls.
The Peninsula Shanghai
From the time Wang Manni was admitted to the hospital, discharged, to now, less than half a month has passed, but everything that should have happened has happened naturally. At this moment, she is lying on her side in Chen Xu's arms.
"Our store manager is rushing me again. I should go to work tomorrow."
"If you don't want to go, don't go. I can support you."
After all, she is a woman in the service industry. After a few days of getting along, Wang Manni gave Chen Xu a different experience.
"Raise me, you want to support me?"
After spending a few days together, Wang Manni learned a lot about Chen Xu's situation; he is single, playful, generous, and has no intention of getting married yet, and perhaps he never will.
"As long as you want, I have no problem with that."
Chen Xu knew that after romance comes reality, and Wang Manni, who had come to her senses, had begun to think about their relationship.
"You have a girlfriend, is it Miss Lu from last time?"
"Well, we've known each other for more than two years, but she's very busy with work, so we rarely see each other."
If something cannot be concealed, just speak it out, of course some rhetoric is inevitable.
"You already have a girlfriend, and you still mess with me."
Wang Manni was not surprised to hear this answer, but the disappointment was inevitable.
"It's all because you're so beautiful that I can't help myself."
"Come on, will you break up with her for me?"
This kind of behavior is called being a mistress when married, and now it is a competition for the job, Wang Manni comforted herself.
"Do you care about her existence?"
"Of course, I don't want to be called a mistress."
Wang Manni, who knows the third person and is responsible for the third person, is both responsible and independent.
"She fell out with her family because of me. I can't leave her. But don't worry, even if she knows you exist, she won't cause you any trouble."
Mistress, you’re dreaming. You’re already out of double digits.
Wang Manni didn't say much after that, but Chen Xu knew that the two of them should be separated for a while.
Sure enough, she left the hotel early the next morning. Before leaving, she left a note saying that she wanted to calm down and asked Chen Xu not to look for her.
Forget about looking for him. He hasn’t been to the company for half a month. He also doesn’t know whether Xu Huanshan has got the payment back, so Chen Xu decided to go back and check.
"Li Ke, where is Mr. Xu?"
The big order in Ningbo has already started, but Xu Huanshan is not in the company. This surprised Chen Xu. Is it rare for him to fight against Lao Wan?
"Mr. Xu has something going on at home. It seems his son has to go to the kindergarten for an interview today."
Li Ke looked at Chen Xu resentfully and replied.
There are not many women in the company who look at me like this. Who do you think you are? Chen Xu ignored Li Ke's eyes and went straight to the finance department.
"Lao Zhang, are you busy?"
Zhang Ming, the financial officer, is a pragmatic person. When two people are doing business together, the most important thing is to keep clear accounts. He helped Chen Xu and Xu Huanshan to accomplish this very well.
"Mr. Chen, do you have something to talk to me about?"
"It's okay. I just want to ask if the money from Mr. Wan has arrived?"
"The money hasn't arrived yet. Mr. Xu and I have urged them many times, and Sister Jia has also helped to urge them. The other party keeps saying that it will be soon, but I haven't seen them transfer the money."
Zhang Ming is somewhat responsible for this matter, so he is also very anxious.
"Okay, I know. Don't feel stressed. This matter cannot be blamed on you."
After leaving the Finance Department, Chen Xu no longer called Xu Huanshan and Gu Jia because he knew that Zhang Ming would make the call for him.

Grand Hyatt Residences
A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step. Gu Jia did not expect that Xu Ziyan would fail the entrance exam because of such a small problem.
"Gu Gu, is my godson okay?"
As Xu Ziyan's godmother, Zhong Xiaoqin also ran over after hearing the news.
"I was a little depressed just now, but I'm much better now. Xiaoqin, I need your help with something."
"You want me to help you, how can I help you?"
In Zhong Xiaoqin's eyes, Gu Jia is omnipotent. If she can't solve a problem, let alone herself, she can solve it.
"Zi Yan's interview was a failure. I now need someone who can speak for me and write a recommendation. Do you have any connections in this regard?"
"What connections do I have? I'm just a small property owner."
"You're still a young property owner? You're one of the earliest owners of Junyue Mansion, a wealthy woman who paid for the house in full, unlike Xu Huanshan and I, who still have tens of millions of loans. By the way, didn't Chen Xu move away? When do you and Chen Yu plan to move in?"
When one person succeeds, his family and friends will benefit from it. Sometimes Gu Jia would envy Zhong Xiaoqin, wondering why she didn’t have a brother-in-law as generous and rich as Chen Xu.
"Every day when he takes me to work, he brings some things over. He's almost done with it, probably in the past few days."
Because of the child, the two fell into a cold war, and Chen Yu became the "he" in Zhong Xiaoqin's mouth.
"Chen Yu hasn't figured it out yet?"
Gu Jia was also a little speechless. It was usually women who didn't want children after marriage. Chen Yu, a grown man, actually had such an idea.
"One doesn't want to get married, and the other doesn't want children. I think both brothers are sick, mentally ill."
Zhong Xiaoqin complained helplessly.
"Hey, you said that if we can find someone to write a letter of introduction for Zi Yan, does Chen Xu have any connections?"
Gu Jia didn't forget the important matter after all.
"If you have any connections, why don't you give him a call and ask?"
As Zhong Xiaoqin spoke, she took out her cell phone and called Chen Xu.
After Xu Ziyan failed the interview, the first thing Gu Jia thought of was to ask Chen Xu for help, but why didn’t she call herself?
Afraid of bringing bad luck.
Gu Jia is a woman with high IQ and EQ, and she can guess a lot of Chen Xu’s inner monologue.
I told you not to do business with him, but you insisted on doing it. As a result, you can't get the payment back, and you want me to find a solution.
I told you that going to DePu was not a good choice, but you insisted on going there. Now, your child has failed the interview, and you still come to me for help.
Zhong Xiaoqin didn't have the same little plan as Gu Jia. After the call was connected, she told Chen Xu about Xu Ziyan in a casual manner.
"Chen Xu, Zi Yan is my godson. I know you have a wide circle of friends. Please mobilize your circle of friends and help me find a solution."
"This isn't that difficult to do. Okay, I'll help you think of a solution. I'll tell Gu Jia directly when I have news."
It was a unique kind of telepathy. Chen Xu guessed what Gu Jia was thinking. Since you have already realized your mistake, I won't argue with you.
Writing a recommendation letter, is that something needed for kindergarten? Chen Xu looked disdainful, took out his cell phone, and dialed a number he hadn't contacted for a while.
"Hey, Lily, are you free today? I want to invite you to have dinner together?"
Qian Lili is a student at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music. Chen Xu dated her for a while and even wrote songs for her.
Of course, these are not the most important things. What is important is that she has a father who is the director of the Education Bureau.
"Oh, the busy man has returned to Shanghai. He finally remembered that there is a living person like me."
"Do you know why I didn't call you? Because you have always lived in my heart."
It's not just about Xu Ziyan, Chen Xu himself also wants to take some time out of his busy schedule to mend the relationship with his former good friend.
Chapter 172 Solution
Waldorf Astoria on the Bund
After devoting himself to the cause, Chen Xu talked about Xu Ziyan's studies.
"I knew you wouldn't come to me if you had nothing to do. Tell me the truth. Could Xu Ziyan be your illegitimate child?"
Qian Lili turned over and pressed down Chen Xu tentatively.
"Lily, with your imagination, it's a pity that you can't sing. You should write novels. If you can get 10,000 points, you will be deified in no time."
