Lin Chen returned home and found the light still on in the study room.
This woman is really hardworking, what time is it now, and she’s still busy?
After a week of living together, Lin Chen discovered that Chu Jiaxue didn’t deliberately avoid him.
If she was free, she would stay in the bedroom reading books, watching dramas, and sleep when it’s time.
If she was in the study room, it meant she was working on company matters.
After taking a shower and drying his hair, Lin Chen glanced at the time; it was already past eleven, and Chu Jiaxue still hadn’t returned to the bedroom.
Is she that busy?
Lin Chen hesitated, then headed towards the study room.
After all, they were living in the same room.
Although their Marriage Relationship was fake, it’s basic courtesy to show some simple care for each other, right?
The study room door was ajar and not closed.
Lin Chen knocked on the door and then pushed it open.
Chu Jiaxue, dressed in pajamas, was typing on a keyboard.
She stopped when she saw Lin Chen enter the room, her gaze resting on Lin Chen’s face with a calm expression.
“What’s up?”
Leaning against the door, Lin Chen smiled and said, “Nothing, just noticed that you’re still working so late, so I thought I’d show some concern.
Company stuff?”
Concern?
Chu Jiaxue felt a ripple in her heart.
Is this guy capable of caring for others?
Perhaps it was because of the awkward encounter earlier in the day, Chu Jiaxue didn’t respond coldly with “It’s none of your business.” Instead, she replied, “Yes, tomorrow is the Shareholders’ Meeting, and there are some things that need to be prepared.”
Lin Chen wondered, “You’re the company CEO, shouldn’t your subordinates be preparing these things for you?”
Chu Jiaxue patiently explained, “The company’s development has hit a bottleneck recently.
In business competition, it’s like going upstream; if you don’t advance, you’ll retreat.
To continue developing, we have to expand into new profit points, so I plan to acquire a pharmaceutical factory and expand into the Pharmaceutical Industry.
However, many shareholders in the company don’t have a sense of crisis and feel that things are fine as they are now and are unwilling to take risks to expand into new businesses.”
Lin Chen immediately understood, “So, at tomorrow’s Shareholders’ Meeting, you have to convince them?”
Chu Jiaxue furrowed her eyebrows slightly, “Yes, our Chu Family only has a 25% share, and if the supporters’ share can’t reach 51%, this proposal won’t be approved.”
Lin Chen asked, “What’s Qian Family’s attitude?”
Chu Jiaxue, who usually had no one to talk to about her frustrations, only reported good news but never bad news to the old man (grandfather).
Now that she had Lin Chen as a listener, she took the opportunity to vent, “He’s against it.
Many shareholders support Qian Bueyi, not me.
It will be difficult tomorrow.”
Lin Chen said with a laugh, “The Chu Family only has a 25% share, just a quarter.
Is it worth it for you to work so hard for the company, putting all the responsibility of the company’s development on your shoulders as a woman?
If all those big men have such an attitude, then they can just give up, and if you sell your shares and withdraw, you can start anew and do your own business independently without anyone else involved.
You can develop in the way you want; that would be great.”
Chu Jiaxue glared at Lin Chen, “You make it sound so easy.”
Lin Chen smiled, “That’s just how things are, isn’t it?
You’re like a weak woman struggling to move forward while dragging several villains behind you.
Others put in ten units of effort and get ten units of results, but your ten units of effort only yield three units of results.
The worst part is that among those three units of results, the villains who’re dragging you down still want to take more than two units.
Why bother?”
Chu Jiaxue’s long-held frustration was pierced by Lin Chen’s words, and a mix of two parts admiration and endless unspoken grievances welled up inside her.
That’s right, you bunch of big men not only won’t help me in the face of problems, but you’ll also hinder me.
When there’s a little benefit, you rush in to grab it.
Do you think I have it easy?
Suddenly, Chu Jiaxue felt that Lin Chen wasn’t as bad as she had thought.
He understood the situation, kept his word, and was insightful.
Most importantly, he could understand her inner anguish.
Chu Jiaxue’s tone inexplicably softened a bit, “This company was founded by my father.
It’s his life’s work, and now that it’s in my hands, how can I just let it go?
Moreover, the company is involved in some other matters within the family.
I can’t let go, and I can’t give up.”
“I see, no wonder.”
Lin Chen nodded, then laughed and said, “If you can’t let it go, then find a way to buy back the other shares.
It doesn’t have to be all of it, at least achieve control over it, so things won’t be as tiring.”
Chu Jiaxue chuckled at Lin Chen’s words, “You make it sound so simple.
The company is doing well, and there are quite a bit of dividends every year.
Who’d sell their shares willingly?
I want to buy their shares, but they want to buy mine instead.”
Chu Jiaxue reached out and brushed a few strands of hair that fell on her forehead away with a helpless tone, “Besides, even if someone were willing to sell their shares, I don’t have the money.
To acquire 26% of the shares, I’d need at least several hundred million.
I can’t afford that.”
Lin Chen laughed, “There are always more solutions than difficulties as long as you have a goal.”
Chu Jiaxue replied Lin Chen with a shallow smile, “Thank you for the consolation, I feel much better.”
Lin Chen’s eyes widened with a surprised expression.
Chu Jiaxue asked curiously, “What’s with that expression?”
Lin Chen smiled, “You just smiled.
That’s the first time you’ve smiled at me.”
Chu Jiaxue’s fair-skinned face suddenly flushed with red, and she scolded in embarrassment, “Go to sleep, don’t disturb my work.”
Lin Chen chuckled, “Alright, I’ll leave now.
But, Jia Xue, smile more when you have the time, don’t always keep a straight face.
You don’t need to maintain the authority of the Boss at home.
You look really good when you smile!”
After saying this, Lin Chen hastily left, leaving behind a blushing Chu Jiaxue.
Chu Jiaxue bit her lip, reached out to touch her burning cheek, and felt a mix of shyness and unconscious joy in her heart.
Do I need you to tell me I look good?
Don’t I know that myself?
This guy, huh!
