Chapter 97 Dark Cuisine

In the following period of time, both Lu Lingheng and Shen Boyan were so busy that they wished they could grow extravagant. Shen Boyan borrowed money to run the factory everywhere. Ten million, it can temporarily maintain the operation of the company for a period of time.However, this is far from enough. His company is very large, and it needs at least hundreds of millions of liquidity to survive this crisis.

Lu Lingheng didn't have time to go any further—"Great Martial Arts" is scheduled for the Spring Festival, and an intensive promotional campaign will begin one month before the film's release.

When Lu Lingheng returned home after participating in the promotional activities, he felt that the room was filled with smog. He took a closer look and found that the center of the smoke was Shen Boyan—the ashtray in front of him was already full of cigarette butts.

Lu Lingheng was choked and coughed twice. Shen Boyan, who was in a daze, realized that he was back. He wiped his face tiredly, got up and opened the window to let himself out: "Sorry, you can go to the room first."

Lu Lingheng didn't leave, and sat down beside him: "The money still hasn't been raised?"

Shen Boyan shook his head and sighed.Although he had some cronies in the past, but at this critical moment, none of his friends could borrow hundreds of millions of funds.He has already mortgaged all the idle properties in his hand, and Zou Jingjing also helped him raise some funds, but the tens of millions of funds can probably be delayed until the end of this year, but it is far from enough to survive this crisis.

Lu Lingheng asked, "How much can the bank borrow?"

Shen Boyan shook his head: "It's hard to borrow, I don't have such a high credit limit, I need a guarantor."

"guarantor?"

"I have no sureties."

Lu Lingheng was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood.With Shen Boyan's current situation, he couldn't find a guarantor at all.Not just anyone can be a guarantor. They must have sufficient repayment ability. If the debtor is unable to repay, the guarantor must help him repay.Even if Shen Boyan had rich friends, those friends would not be willing to guarantee him - the one who wanted to put Shen Boyan to death was Shen Qingyu!Merchants are all profit-seeking, between Shen Qingyu, who is infinitely beautiful, and Shen Boyan, who is in trouble, he will naturally choose the former!

Shen Boyan lowered his head and inserted his fingers into his hair, feeling extremely depressed.

Lu Lingheng didn't know what to do, so he could only comfort him: "Fortunately, we discovered it early, and there is still time to think of a way..."

Shen Boyan laughed at himself: "Is the time I bought lingering..."

According to Shen Qingyu's plan, by the time Shen Boyan discovered the problem, he would be at the end of his rope, but now that Shen Boyan discovered his elder brother's conspiracy one step ahead, all he could do was struggle to the death.The only difference is whether you find that you have lost everything when there is no room for recovery, or you desperately try to turn the tide but still watch the company go bankrupt.The former was killed by a single knife, while the latter let others stab the knife into his heart and stirred slowly, bleeding to death.

"Don't be like this..." Lu Lingheng felt extremely uncomfortable seeing Shen Boyan's decadence, "There must be a way."

Shen Boyan was too tired to say anything more.He really thought of everything he could think about. He owns the shares of Shen Group, but the shares of the listed group are all pledged to the bank, so they cannot be liquidated at all; ceded the shares of the branch company?With Shen Qingyu suppressing him, no one dared to come in and take part in it at this time.

Shen Boyan was almost overwhelmed by despair.As the leader of the company, besides money, he also has heavy responsibilities.Once the company goes bankrupt, what will happen to thousands of employees?It's almost the Chinese New Year, and the year-end bonus can't be given out, and everyone has to be driven home to drink the northwest wind?What about the movies he pitches?Hundreds of people from the two film crews have worked hard for half a year, but they have no money to advertise, so it's rotten in their hands?The actor who doesn't get paid just to gain a good reputation puts all his trust on him!And Lu Lingheng, if the two films cannot be sold, Lu Lingheng's half a year of work will be in vain, and the work will not be released without exposure. In the extremely fast-changing entertainment industry, his career will also suffer a severe blow.

Everyone, everyone's future is in his hands, so what should he do?

Lu Lingheng didn't know that Shen Boyan went to look for Shen Qingyu before going home today.

He didn't come to provoke a fight, nor did he go to reason, he told Shen Qingyu that as long as Shen Qingyu was willing to save the branch company, he could give up all his positions.Responsibility hit him harder than money. He would rather have no money than thousands of people to be unlucky because of him.However, how could Shen Qingyu not understand him?He was determined to put his younger brother in a desperate situation, so he lightly said "what's yours is yours" and beat Shen Boyan back.

Shen Boyan is now full of hatred, annoyance, despair and pressure, wishing to smash everything in front of him, but when he raised his head and saw Lu Lingheng's worried eyes, the fire in his chest was extinguished again.He raised his hand and gently placed his palm on top of Lu Lingheng's head.

"I'm fine." Shen Boyan smiled wearily, "Go take a shower after you've been tired all day, and I'll see if anyone can help."

Years ago is often the happiest time for people. After a whole year of hard work, at the end of the year, they can finally reap the fruits, or receive the year-end bonus and go home happy to reunite with their families, or travel abroad to see the world. Originally, Shen Boyan and Lu Lingheng also planned to go to the island for a vacation during the Chinese New Year, but he didn't think of it, let alone a vacation, even if he wanted to spend the New Year carefree, it wouldn't work.

Shen Boyan patched things together, tearing down the east wall to make up for the west. Fortunately, it was the end of the new year. Originally, the newly developed products would be launched around the end of the year, but because of funding problems, this date had to be moved back.

Before the annual holiday, the company holds an annual meeting as usual.In the past, the Shen Group had a lot of money and wealth, and the annual meeting was held in a five-star hotel with free-flowing drinks. However, this year, in order to save money, the quality is naturally a lot worse.Originally, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, Shen Boyan didn't intend to talk about the company's financial problems, but seeing that the year-end bonus could not be issued, he couldn't hide it.So during the annual meeting, I spent half an hour on stage to give a speech in person. I didn’t mention the brother-in-law, just played the emotional card, saying that the company has developed to this day. Everyone’s hard work and hard work. Besides, this year is an eventful year, except for some problems with capital turnover, so the year-end bonus will be delayed by two months, and it will be paid out as soon as the funds for new products are launched, and it will be paid out more than in previous years.The big boss spoke in person, and finally stabilized the employees.

On the [-]th of the new year, Shen Boyan was still begging for help to run to the bank, and it was not until midnight that he finally finished his work and returned home.

When it was almost noon on New Year's Eve, Shen Boyan woke up and found that the people around him were no longer in the room.He groped his almost hungry stomach and left the room, intending to get some food, when he walked to the kitchen door, he was stunned to see the scene inside.

Lu Lingheng was sitting in front of the stove, and there was a whole row of bowls on the stove, and he was holding an empty small bowl to scoop things out of the burning pot.

"Are you cooking?" Shen Boyan felt unbelievable at first, but then he was overjoyed - he has never eaten anything cooked by Lu Lingheng!

Lu Lingheng, who was concentrating on scooping up things, couldn't help shaking when he heard Shen Boyan's voice, and wanted to put away the things on the table in a panic, but unfortunately there were so many things that he couldn't hide them for a while, so he coughed awkwardly: "Uh... Auntie I'm going home for the New Year, and I want to cook some porridge for you."

Today is New Year's Eve, and the nanny went back to his hometown. Shen Boyan and Lu Lingheng celebrated the New Year together. In order to save money and have more private space, they didn't invite any more people, and they didn't plan to go out for New Year's Eve dinner.Recently, Shen Boyan was exhausted physically and mentally, and he also caught a cold. Lu Lingheng decided to make some love meals for Shen Xiaogou.

Shen Boyan walked into the kitchen, saw the things on the stove, and was taken aback: "Are you going to worship your ancestors or treat you?"

The seven or eight small bowls next to the stove were filled with porridge, and there was still a pot of porridge cooking on the stove. Lu Lingheng took an empty bowl and was pouring porridge into the bowls.

"Are there any guests coming for the New Year's Eve dinner?"

Lu Lingheng pouted and shook his head: "It's just the two of us."

Shen Boyan was puzzled: "Then why are you burning so much?"

Lu Lingheng touched his temples shyly: "I just want to cook a pot of porridge. I put half a pot of rice in it, but I don't know how the more rice is cooked..."

Shen Boyan: "...half a pot of rice?!"

The star Lu Lingheng, who was cooking for the first time, thought that he could cook as much porridge as he put in the rice, but he never expected that the rice swelled rapidly after absorbing water, and soon overflowed.So he sat on the side with a small bowl and filled it. The overflowing part was filled into the bowl. Whoever thought that the more he filled it, it seemed that there was a different dimension in the pot that was leaking rice.

Shen Boyan pointed to the bowls on the table puzzledly: "Then why do you use small bowls? Just take a pot and pour out the excess."

Lu Lingheng smiled dryly: "Every time I filled a bowl, I thought it was the last one." After speaking, he sighed slightly, "This porridge is really endless."

After speaking, the small bowl in his hand was full again, and he opened the cabinet again and took out a new bowl to continue filling.

Shen Boyan: "..."

Of course, a lot of water is needed to cook porridge with half a pot of rice. Lu Lingheng saw that the water in the pot was almost boiled dry, took out a new bowl, and poured a bowl of water into it.

Shen Boyan: "..."

Shen Boyan could no longer imagine what it would be like to cook this pot of porridge, and then he watched Lu Lingheng grab a handful of vegetables and throw them into the pot.

"Lean meat porridge with green vegetables, shiitake mushrooms, and lean meat is more nutritious," Lu Lingheng said.

Shen Boyan asked with the last bit of hope: "Have you washed the dishes?"

"I've washed it." Lu Lingheng nodded hurriedly, finally feeling a little more confident.Although the porridge was a bit of a stream of consciousness, he still did something right!

"Where's rice?"

Lu Lingheng was taken aback for a moment: "Ah...the rice also needs to be washed?"

Shen Boyan: "..."

Reluctantly, he turned his attention to the other dishes.

"What is this? Why does it look so poop?!"

"Fruit soup...that's not poop, it's bananas..."

"Why is the fruit soup black?!"

"Well... because you have a cold, I put two packs of banlangen in it..."

"..."

"What is this?"

"Tremella jujube soup...you'd better eat more liquid when you have a cold..."

"Why are white fungus and red dates black? How much Radix Banlangen did you put in?!"

"I didn't put Banlangen in this one, because I couldn't find where the sugar was, so I broke some chocolate for the sugar..."

"..."

Shen Boyan's heart almost collapsed at this moment.According to the regular script, he should now tenderly taste the "deliciousness" made by Lu Lingheng, no matter what the taste is, he should give praise and encouragement.However, he glanced at the dark dishes on the table, and couldn't imagine what would happen if he ate them.He resolutely turned off the fire on the stove: "I take your wish, I'll do it."

Lu Lingheng was a little surprised: "You know how to cook?"

Shen Boyan took off his apron and put it on himself: "I have learned a little bit abroad. I still have some wontons made by my aunt before noon. Let's eat some casually first, and I will leave the New Year's Eve dinner to me."

Shen Boyan had never tasted Lu Lingheng's craftsmanship, and Lu Lingheng had also never tasted Shen Boyan's craftsmanship, so he had no hope for it, but thinking about it, Shen Xiaogou would not be worse than him, so he had no choice but to treat the sick man Instead, the task was handed over to the patient.

After the two had lunch, Shen Boyan changed his clothes and was about to go out: "I'll go and buy some fresh vegetables."

Lu Lingheng hurriedly said, "I'll go with you."

These housework are usually done by the nanny, and the two have never bought vegetables together.Lu Lingheng changed into casual clothes, and put on a mask and hat. Fortunately, the winter was very cold, and the streets were full of armed people. His attire would not make it appear that this place was free of 300 taels of silver.Putting on a disguise, the two went out together.
