Chapter 294 - Business Crisis

Ye Qiao hurriedly poured her a glass of water.

Madam Du picked it up and drank it in one gulp, she patted her heart and said, "My project is in a shortage of funds. Changfeng won't invest any more money... Not just that the project has to be shut down, I can't pay back the debt I owe to the bank in the future. It's not a small amount. It's in the tens of millions! At the beginning of next month, I'll have to pay it back!"

Ye Qiao sat at the side, feeling that Gu Changfeng had done it on purpose.

"Auntie, don't be anxious. I know that this matter is indeed quite serious, but it can't be rushed! By the way, when you and Changfeng were partners, what did the contract say? If Changfeng withdraws his investment, they won't have to bear the responsibility?" Ye Qiao said calmly.

This time, Madam Du became even more anxious and angry at herself. She looked at Ye Qiao and shook her head, "Qiao Qiao, because we used to be very good friends, we didn't pay much attention to this area. Even if he withdraws his investment, I can't do anything to him! At most, I won't give him the money I invested in the past! However, Gu Changfeng just said on the phone that he wanted the money from the past! He said that they had no choice but to withdraw their investment because their funding chain for other projects is broken!"

Why did she not believe it? That was too much of a coincidence. Ye Qiao narrowed her eyes and thought to herself.

As for Madam Du, she really did not have any defenses against Gu Changfeng. This project had already been under construction for a year. At that time, Madam Du and Gu Changfeng should have decided on a partnership when they were about to get married.

"Auntie, we're going to your company now. Your company has legal affairs, right? There's also a team of lawyers. We'll study the contract that we signed with Changfeng and see if it'll work if they withdraw their funds!" Ye Qiao said calmly.

Madam Du nodded repeatedly.

...

"Dad! Why didn't you just state your conditions? Why are you still talking nonsense with Du? Are you still afraid of her?" In the office, Gu Xueyan said angrily to Gu Changfeng. A woman in an office lady's skirt suit was sitting in the swivel chair beside her.

"I can see it too. President Gu is afraid of Madam Du! President Gu, with the funds in my hands to support you, what are you afraid of?" the woman said faintly as she swiveled the chair.

She was Li Yun.

Gu Changfeng propped his elbows on the table and scratched his head with his hands. "You little girls don't know how the world works! Madam Du has the Lu family behind her! The Lu family, do you understand? In short, for the time being, I can't openly oppose her!"

"Tsk! What's wrong with the Lu family? The Lu family doesn't run the bank! They're just a bunch of salaried people, how much money can they have? What's the use of having power? Miss Gu owes the bank tens of millions. Which other bank dares to lend her money?" Li Yun sat up straight and said loudly.

Hearing her words, Gu Xueyan seemed to be on steroids.

"Li Yun is right! You have guts! Dad, don't be afraid of them! We'll see if Madam Du wants me or her daughter-in-law who came from the countryside!" Gu Xueyan said proudly with her arms crossed in front of her chest.

Meanwhile, Li Yun raised the corners of her lips and looked at her back disdainfully, thinking, 'Lu Beixiao is mine!'!

...

"Does that mean that we can't do anything now that Changfeng has withdrawn his investment? If he wants to ask for the return of his previous shares, we have to compensate him?" In the meeting room, Ye Qiao sat to the left of Madam Du and looked at Lawyer Huo, who was wearing a suit and leather shoes.

"That's what I mean! I've looked at this contract carefully. It's too vague and there's no guarantee for our interests! Which law firm did you get this lawyer from?" Lawyer Huo held the contract in his hand, frowned, and said in annoyance.

He was hired by Ye Qiao at the last minute. He was also a senior who had graduated from their Law School.

"This contract was drawn up by the lawyers of Changfeng Group," Madam Du said with a little shame.

"Auntie! You're so smart. How could you make such a low-level mistake?" Ye Qiao could not help but say in a low voice. It was so infuriating. Did she really trust Changfeng Group that much back then? They even let their lawyer do the contract for them?

But now, they were threatening to withdraw their investment!

It was a direct hit!

"Qiao Qiao, it was my mistake!" Madam Du said in a low voice. Who would have thought that the family that was supposed to be in-laws and good friends would end up like this?

Ye Qiao sighed deeply in her heart. This time, her mother-in-law's company had fallen into a business crisis!

...

"Don't be worried for now. Let me think of something! You can also confirm whether Changfeng wants to withdraw his investment or if he has other demands! Such a good project... Would Gu Changfeng be willing to part with it? How about this, you make an appointment with him. When the time comes, I'll talk to him Oh right, don't tell Brother Xiao about this. He's going to a closed-door exercise outside the city. Don't worry him!" Back in Madam Du's office, Ye Qiao said seriously and calmly.

"Qiao Qiao, you're just a little girl. You're still a student. I won't trouble you with this matter, and you can't help much either. You should focus on your studies. I'll think of Something else!" Although Ye Qiao gave her a sense of security but Madam Du was a powerful businesswoman in her forties. How could she rely on a 20-year-old girl!

She did not believe that Ye Qiao could handle this matter.

"Auntie! Are you looking down on my ability?" Ye Qiao said with a smile. However, she was really troubled by this matter.

She could only take it one step at a time and persuade Gu Changfeng first. If it did not work out, she would think of other ways.

"Auntie, don't worry. I'm not angry! I just want to help you. Please give me a Chance!" Ye Qiao said with a smile.

"Qiao Qiao, thank you! You're thoughtful!" Madam Du said seriously.

Ye Qiao wanted to say that they were family now, so there was no need to be so polite. However, she did not say it out loud.. She had not told her about the marriage registration with Lu Beixiao yet. When Brother Xiao came back, she would let him tell her!
