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

Chapter 297: A rare opportunity

Jiang Chengjun sat in the conference room, his eyes bloodshot, staring at the financial statements in his hands.

The shocking numbers on the financial statements were like death warrants, announcing that the company had once again fallen into an abyss of no return. Originally, if nothing unexpected happened, the hard-earned 10 billion yuan would be enough to fill the funding gap and give the company a break.

But who could have expected that the sudden bankruptcy of Sanmu Group would be like a bombshell, causing huge waves in the business circle, and then Shengning Group would be unable to support itself and quickly collapsed.

The changes in these two major groups, like dominoes, dragged the Jiang family into a deeper quagmire.

When new partners and suppliers heard the news, they were frightened and terminated their cooperation.

In just a few days, Jiang's business volume dropped by more than half, and the funding gap became bigger and bigger like a bottomless pit.

The seemingly huge 10 billion funds were nothing but a drop in the bucket in the face of this surging crisis and could not save the crumbling Jiang Group at all.

At this time, Gu Qingyue also heard about the miserable situation of Jiang Chengjun's company.

She sat in her spacious and bright office, tapping her fingers lightly on the desk, with a meaningful smile on her lips.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and a plan quietly emerged in her mind.

Gu Qingyue has always been in love with Jiang Chengjun, even though she knows in her heart that he is an absolute scumbag. She is still deeply trapped in the quagmire of love brain and cannot extricate herself.

The appearance of Fang Wenwen turned her love into a contest dominated by the desire to win.

Fang Wenwen had flaunted her relationship with Jiang Chengjun on various occasions, which made Gu Qingyue jealous.

At this moment, when she thought of Fang Wenwen, a hint of pride and sarcasm flashed in her eyes.

Fang Wenwen, you and Jiang Chengjun have been together for a few years, but you still ended up in jail, and I got the upper hand in the end. Gu Qingyue called Jiang Chengjun, her voice so gentle that water could drip out: "Chengjun, I heard about your company, are you okay?"

When Jiang Chengjun heard her voice, a trace of calculation flashed across his originally irritable face for a moment, but he quickly returned to his tired and helpless look, thinking to himself that there was finally a glimmer of hope.

He let out a long, hypocritical sigh, his voice full of fatigue and helplessness: "Qingyue, you don't know how I have survived these past few days. The company is full of holes, and I am really desperate."

Gu Qingyue smiled softly: "Don't be so polite, how can I watch you suffer? In fact, I have a way to help you."

Jiang Chengjun was delighted, but quickly pretended to be puzzled and asked cautiously, "What's the solution? As long as I can save the company, I'm willing to do anything."

Gu Qingyue paused for a moment, deliberately teasing him: "I can give you 200 million to help you stabilize the company temporarily."

Jiang Chengjun's eyes flashed with greed, but before Gu Qingyue finished speaking, he couldn't wait to ask: "Really? Qingyue, you are really my life-saving straw!"

Gu Qingyue continued: "But I have a condition, you have to be with me."

Jiang Chengjun's face flashed with a barely perceptible disgust, but when he thought of the 200 million funds, he instantly put on a flattering smile, without even hesitating, and said eagerly: "Fanxing and I just canceled our engagement, and I'm going to be with you, is that okay?"

Gu Qingyue said happily: "You have both cancelled your engagement. As long as you and I are willing, there is nothing wrong with it."

Jiang Chengjun followed her words and said, "You really don't mind." At this moment, there was only desire for money in his eyes. His previous arrogance and self-esteem were gone, and his ugly face that was willing to sacrifice everything for money was exposed.

"Don't mind. It's settled then. I'll give you 200 million to tide you over the difficulties, and you'll be with me. Then we'll meet first and discuss the details." Gu Qing happily made the decision, and the deal between the two was about to be reached.

Jiang Chengjun hung up the phone with a smug look on his face, as if he had already seen the 200 million yuan in funds in hand and the company's crisis resolved. He did not feel the slightest bit of guilt for his behavior.

After Jiang Chengjun and Gu Qingyue met, they quickly signed an agreement.

The 200 million yuan arrived quickly, and Jiang Chengjun could not wait to use it to fill the company's funding gap. He first urgently paid part of the overdue payments to suppliers, hoping to restore some cooperative relationships and rebuild trust.

However, most suppliers' confidence in Jiang's has reached freezing point. Even after receiving partial payments, they only maintain superficial cooperation and are no longer as active in supplying goods as before.

Then, Jiang Chengjun invested a lot of money in marketing, trying to open up new business channels and restore the company's reputation. He hired a professional marketing team at a high price, planned a series of promotional activities, and placed advertisements on major media platforms.

However, these efforts seemed to have been in vain. The market's negative impression of Jiang's was deeply rooted. Consumers and partners remained on the sidelines regarding Jiang's products and services, and new business orders were few and far between.

At the same time, the company's internal operating costs also continued to consume funds like water, which further increased capital expenditures.

To make matters worse, the termination of cooperation by the previous partner brought about a series of chain reactions. As a result, the initial investment was wasted, and there was also the risk of compensation for breach of contract. Jiang Chengjun had to set aside part of the funds to deal with these potential legal disputes.

Just like that, in less than a month, 200 million yuan of funds quickly slipped away like sand in an hourglass.

Instead of narrowing, the company's funding gap became even larger due to this series of troubles.

At the same time, Gu Fanxing learned about the deal between Jiang Chengjun and Gu Qingyue. She sat in the office, looking at the traffic outside the window, with a sarcastic smile on her lips: "Jiang Chengjun, do you think you can turn things around like this? You are too naive." She decided to continue to pay attention to Jiang Chengjun's every move, waiting for the best time to give him a fatal blow.

After Jiang Chengjun and Gu Qingyue got together, he fell into endless pain and struggle. Gu Qingyue had a strong desire to control him. Not only did she ask him to accompany her all the time, she also tried to interfere in the company's affairs.

Jiang Chengjun was busy running between the company and Gu Qingyue every day. His mental state was getting worse and worse, and he even began to doubt whether his original decision was correct.

However, even in such a desperate situation, the fire of greed in Jiang Chengjun's heart has not been extinguished.

One night, he accompanied Gu Qingyue to dine in a high-end restaurant. The candlelight flickered, and Gu Qingyue was immersed in their interactions. Jiang Chengjun suddenly put down his knife and fork, looked at Gu Qingyue sincerely, and his eyes flashed with greed: "Qingyue, you have also seen the current situation of the company. It is really only one step away from revival. Can you come up with another 200 million? With only this 200 million, I promise that the company will definitely get better, and then I will repay you double."

When he said this, he completely forgot that the 200 million he had received before was exchanged for being with Gu Qingyue. Now he wanted 200 million again, what else could he exchange for?

Besides, Gu Qingyue is not a fool, it is impossible for her to pay for his greed without any bottom line.

When Gu Qingyue heard this, the smile on her face froze instantly. She looked at Jiang Chengjun in disbelief, her lips trembling slightly: "Chengjun, you know I have taken out all my savings for you. I really have no money, and I also want to help you, but I really can't do anything."

Her eyes were full of disbelief. She thought the love she bought with 200 million yuan would make her happy, but she didn't expect to fall into a bottomless pit of constant demands.
