Zhao Gang shouted at the top of his voice: "The past is all in the past! Now, you are just a poor and desperate guy. I don't want you to ruin my business and reputation, so don't bother me anymore!" After that, he hung up the phone angrily.

Jiang Xiyan stared at the phone in his hand as if he had lost his soul, and kept muttering: "How could it become like this? Could it be that our deep friendship before was all fake?" Full of doubts and unwillingness, he decided to seek help from his former friends who used to call him brothers. So he came to the company where his good friend Li Qiang, who used to drink and chat with him, worked. After arriving at the place, he waited at the front desk. Time passed by minute by minute, as if a century had passed, and Li Qiang slowly walked out.

Jiang Xiyan walked hurriedly forward with a warm smile on his face, saying, "Li Qiang, long time no see!" His eyes revealed a hint of surprise and expectation.

However, Li Qiang frowned slightly and responded with a somewhat impatient tone: "What are you doing here? I don't have time to chat with you now. I have a lot of things waiting to be dealt with!" After that, he turned his head away, as if he was ready to continue his work.

Jiang Xiyan's face showed an embarrassment that was difficult to conceal. He said a little uncomfortably, "Mr. Li, I'm sorry to bother you, but I really just want to talk to you about my current situation. As you know, I'm in urgent need of funds to solve my urgent needs. If possible, I sincerely hope that you can lend a hand to help me."

However, Li Qiang mercilessly sneered with irony: "Hmph! Jiang Xiyan, Jiang Xiyan, look at how miserable you are now, and you still have the nerve to come to me for help? Let me tell you, a loser like you is not worth my time and energy! Get out of here now, so as not to ruin our company's reputation and image here!" After that, Li Qiang waved his hand with disgust, signaling Jiang Xiyan to leave immediately.

Every silence after being rejected was like a heavy hammer hitting Jiang Xiyan's already broken heart. He began to doubt whether there was still true friendship in this world...

Shen Jingyan was walking alone on the busy street, her heart full of emotion about life. When she passed by the quiet and elegant coffee shop, her eyes inadvertently passed through the bright French windows, and she was immediately attracted by the familiar figure inside. It was Jiang Xiyan, who was wearing a neat suit, and his posture was like a tall pine tree, but with an indescribable loneliness.

Shen Jingyan's eyes lit up instantly, as if she had found a ray of light in the darkness. She pushed the door open impatiently and walked into the coffee shop. She walked quickly to Jiang Xiyan's table with full of concern, and a warm smile on her face: "What a coincidence!"

Jiang Xiyan, who was immersed in his own thoughts, suddenly froze when he heard the familiar voice. He turned his head slowly, his face still had that cold expression that kept people away from him, but his deep eyes hid a hint of complex emotions that were not easily detected. His voice was low and hoarse: "It's you, what a coincidence."

Shen Jingyan sat down gently opposite him, looking at him tenderly, and said with heartache: "I heard that you are in debt of tens of billions, and your company has been sidelined. Xi Yan, I really can't bear to see you like this, why don't I help you pay back the huge amount of money, and you manage my company, how about we work together? This is a win-win choice for us."

Jiang Xiyan's brows knitted tightly together, and his eyes became colder. He was struggling internally. On the one hand, he found it hard to accept his current miserable situation, and on the other hand, he was resistant to others' active help, especially when he was at his lowest point. He was silent for a long time, and his tone was as stiff as a cold stone: "I will handle my own affairs, so you don't need to worry about it."

Shen Jingyan was not discouraged by his refusal. She leaned forward and looked at Jiang Xiyan firmly: "I don't just want to help you. I know your ability best. It is definitely not an accident that you were plotted against this time. The vice president Lin Qianhan may have planned it for a long time. I checked his information for you. He actually grew up under the protection of Grandpa Jiang. I am really worried about you, Xiyan."

Jiang Xiyan's brows were still furrowed. He knew Lin Qianhan's methods, but at this moment, his strong self-esteem was like a solid wall, which made it difficult for him to accept help from others. He was silent for a moment, and said again in a stiff tone: "I will handle my own affairs, so you don't need to worry about it."

Shen Jingyan looked at his stubbornness, sighed helplessly, and asked with worry in her eyes: "Then how do you want to deal with it? Your current situation is very difficult, and I don't want you to bear it alone."

Jiang Xiyan clenched his fists tightly, and his knuckles began to turn white. His eyes were filled with anger and resentment, and his voice was as cold as ice: "Oh, Lin Qianhan... He dared to plot against me, so I will make him pay the price. I will not be defeated so easily."

Shen Jingyan nodded slightly. She understood Jiang Xiyan's reluctance and anger: "You want him to pay the price, but you need a platform. You have worked with me before, and my company is not bad. You come to manage the company for me. I believe you will be able to turn things around soon. I have confidence in you, Xiyan."

Jiang Xiyan's heart moved slightly. He looked up at Shen Jingyan, his eyes so deep that they seemed to penetrate her soul, as if he wanted to explore her true thoughts deep in her heart. But his face was still cold: "Why should I believe you? At this time, everyone may have their own calculations."

Shen Jingyan looked at him with sincere and warm eyes: "Why should you believe me? Because I cooked dinner for you, and when you were injured, I took care of you wholeheartedly for almost half a month. During those days, I saw your fragility and your strength. Aren't all these experiences enough for you to believe me? Besides, it's not like we haven't cooperated before, and you know the situation of my company. I really want to help you, Xiyan."

Jiang Xiyan was speechless when she asked him this. He was silent for a moment, struggling in his heart. On the one hand, he began to waver, and on the other hand, he was afraid of being hurt again. Finally, he said in a cold tone: "Humph, who knows if you have other purposes? I, Jiang Xiyan, am not so easy to use."

Shen Jingyan looked at him angrily, her emotions a little excited: "Use? How could I use you? I just don't want to see a talented person being buried and having no place to use his talents! In my heart, you have always been the capable and responsible person. I hope you can stand up again."

Jiang Xiyan's heart was moved, but his face was still cold, and he said stubbornly: "Talent? Do you think everyone is as noble as you say? This world is very complicated, and I have suffered losses before."

Shen Jingyan asked back: "Aren't you a talented person? Are you just going to give up on yourself like this?"

Jiang Xiyan snorted coldly, looked at Shen Jingyan sharply, and said in a low voice: "You don't need to worry about whether I am a talent or not. I can solve these problems by myself without bothering you. I don't want to rely on anyone anymore."

Shen Jingyan asked relentlessly: "Then how do you want to solve your problem? You have nothing now, what can you use to fight them?"

Jiang Xiyan leaned back in his chair, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and said sternly, "This is my business, I naturally have my own way, so don't worry about it, Miss Shen."

Shen Jingyan frowned: "I just want to bother with this. I don't want to see you being so stubborn and pushing yourself into a desperate situation."

Jiang Xiyan was a little impatient: "You..." His sword-like eyebrows were slightly frowned, and the expression on his face relaxed a little, but soon returned to his indifferent look, "I said, no need!"

Shen Jingyan stood up with a hint of disappointment in her eyes: "Okay then, I'm leaving."

Jiang Xiyan looked at her back as she turned and left, and suddenly felt a little irritated, his hands unconsciously clenched. He hesitated for a moment, but still called her: "Wait."

Shen Jingyan turned around with a hint of expectation in her eyes: "Why, do you have anything else to say?"

Jiang Xiyan's lips moved, as if he was about to say something. Finally, he spoke, his tone still stiff: "Regarding the cooperation... I still need time to think about it. Don't think I will agree easily."

Shen Jingyan smiled, her eyes full of hope: "Okay, then my company will wait for your good news."

Jiang Xiyan snorted lightly, his face still had that cold expression, but his heart was moved by Shen Jingyan's words: "Good news? Just wait, I, Jiang Xiyan, am not someone who compromises so easily."

Shen Jingyan smiled and said, "Yes, you are the strongest?"

Jiang Xiyan was a little uncomfortable with her sudden words. He turned his head away, his tone still cold: "None of your business, just do your own thing."

Shen Jingyan: "Ah, I have something to do, please do as you please."

Jiang Xiyan looked at her leaving back, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart. He wondered if he had said something too harsh just now. But soon this thought was covered by indifference. He whispered to himself: "Just go, who cares..."

Shen Jingyan walked to the door and turned back: "You are so stubborn. I will come to your house later and tell you about my company. I will also show you some information about my company's operations. You can refer to it. Do you want to join?"

Jiang Xiyan couldn't help but feel a little headache when he heard this. He just rejected her, and now she wants to come to his house again. This woman is really persistent. He: "I said, I will consider it, you don't have to be so anxious."

Shen Jingyan: "You take a look at the information first. Once you understand the operation of my company, I will wait for your news."
