“I don’t mind.”
Chu Jiaxue pursed her lips, feeling a subtle mix of emotions.
Lin Chen was quite attentive, but when he mentioned adding trouble, was he referring to causing trouble for himself or for her?
Chu Jiaxue started the car and headed towards the hotel.
Lin Chen leaned back in his seat and casually asked, “Is anyone willing to lend you money?”
Chu Jiaxue bit her lip, “Hu Sen, the deputy head of Guangze Bank’s branch office, who I’ve dealt with before, but I don’t like him very much.”
Lin Chen said with a laugh, “Does he have feelings for you?”
Unexpectedly, Lin Chen was so perceptive that Chu Jiaxue felt embarrassed.
After all, Lin Chen was still legally her husband.
“He expressed his interest in me, which I rejected.
As a result, I’ve tried to avoid dealing with Guangze Bank in regards to bank-related matters.
Today, he called me out of the blue, saying that a friend in the bank told him I was applying for loans everywhere, asking if I needed help …”
Lin Chen smirked, “Do you believe in the fairy tale where a knight rescues a princess in distress?”
Chu Jiaxue’s face flushed slightly, “I have to give it a try.
I don’t have any other choice right now.”
Lin Chen sighed, “Do you want to hear a man’s opinion?”
Chu Jiaxue whispered, “Are you suggesting he will blackmail me, agree to help if I accept his pursuit, and turn a blind eye if I reject him?”
Lin Chen laughed, “You’re not too slow, at least you can think of part of it.”
Slow?
Chu Jiaxue’s expression was somewhat annoyed, “Part of it?”
Lin Chen replied, “There are no secrets in this circle.
Since Hu Sen knows you’ve hit a wall trying to get loans, he must also know the reason behind it.
Unless Hu Sen himself has a very strong background that can ignore external interference, if he helps you at this time, he’s essentially an enemy of the Aotian Group.”
“Although there’s indeed a slim possibility he’s helping you because he likes you and doesn’t care about external pressure, the cost is too high.
After all, he’s just a deputy head of a local bank.
So the most likely scenario is that he’s part of the trap himself.”
Chu Jiaxue’s eyes widened, “Is Hu Sen in cahoots with the Qian family too?”
Lin Chen laughed, “The Qian family had Hailan Bank withdraw your company’s working capital and Aotian Group cut off your loan path.
Just when you’re at your wit’s end, a deputy head who likes you suddenly appears, contacts you proactively, and says he can help.
Isn’t all of this a bit too coincidental?”
Chu Jiaxue was silent for a few seconds, “I just want to give it a try and meet him.
If he makes unreasonable demands, I will refuse.”
Lin Chen smiled, “If I’m not wrong, when we get to the hotel, I’ll be stopped outside, and you’ll face him or even several people alone.
Be careful, and call me right away if anything seems off.”
Chu Jiaxue felt an inexplicable sense of panic in her heart.
Maybe Hu Sen really had ill intentions!
But then again, if she trusted him, why would she ask Lin Chen to accompany her on this trip?
Wasn’t it because she didn’t feel secure?
Lin Chen noticed Chu Jiaxue’s expression and said nothing more.
Some things may seem alarmist when they haven’t happened.
Since he was already here, he could guarantee her safety and let her experience the cruelty of human nature.
He may be here this time, but what about next time, or the time after?
When they arrived at the hotel, Lin Chen accompanied Chu Jiaxue upstairs to the reserved private room.
Four burly bodyguards stood at the entrance of the private room, and the bodyguard at the door opened it for Chu Jiaxue.
“General Manager Chu, please.
Deputy General Manager Hu has been waiting for a while.”
As Chu Jiaxue stepped through the door, a man reached out to stop Lin Chen, “Please wait outside.”
Chu Jiaxue’s heart skipped a beat.
Lin Chen was right.
These four people didn’t even bother asking about Lin Chen’s identity, but stopped him without any questions.
Lin Chen glanced inside the room and saw three men and one woman, seemingly in a lively conversation.
“Manager Chu, I’ll be waiting for you by the door.”
Inside the room, Hu Sen had already risen from his seat and said with a smile, “Manager Chu, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.
Come on, let me introduce you to some friends.”
Chu Jiaxue reluctantly let go of her worries and greeted him with a polite smile, “Manager Hu, long time no see.”
After some pleasantries were exchanged and they all sat down, the dinner began.
Although Chu Jiaxue claimed not to feel well, she couldn’t avoid the dinner.
She reluctantly accepted the half glass of red wine that Hu Sen poured for her.
Trying to save face while asking for a favor and not drinking a drop of wine?
As Chu Jiaxue conversed with others, she naturally didn’t notice that there was already a trace of clear liquid in the wine glass that Hu Sen poured for her.
As soon as the red wine was added, the liquid instantly blended with the wine.
The atmosphere at dinner was quite cheerful, and Chu Jiaxue raised her most pressing loan issue at the right time.
Hu Sen giggled, “200 million, right?
It’s such a coincidence.
I happen to have some unused loan quotas lately.
Chuhe Group has a low debt ratio and rapid development, making it a high-quality enterprise.
Lending money to Chuhe would be worry-free for us and would also solve my loan quota problem.
Come to think of it, General Manager Chu, you’re actually doing me a huge favor.”
