Start a gamble and enjoy a carefree life

At five o'clock in the evening, a small black car was driving on the road.

"Old Gu, do you think President Zhu can approve this loan?" Financial Director Xiao Ying said worriedly in the co-pilot seat.

"Since he agreed to this dinner, I think there is still room for negotiation."

"But... all the assets that can be mortgaged in our company have been mortgaged. If the negotiation fails, there will be no way out."

After a while, Xiao Ying sighed: "You are so good to your daughter!"

"It was my decision-making error that led to the situation today. It has nothing to do with Zhirou. Let her pay for my mistake. Am I still qualified to be her father?"

Gu Shanming suddenly laughed dumbly and quietly held Xiao Ying's hand: "Why, are you jealous of my daughter?"

Xiao Ying slapped the hand away and said angrily: "This is outside, please be careful, if your wife finds out, let's see how you end up!"

After a pause, she said again: "Besides, I have no right to be jealous. If it weren't for your financial support, I'm afraid I would have starved to death..."

Gu Shanming is a qualified entrepreneur and a good father, but he is not a good husband.

Although he loved Gu Zhirou's mother Zou Li very much, he still made the mistake that all middle-aged men would make: keeping a mistress.

Xiao Ying, the financial director of Mingshan Technology Company, was his secret lover.

This relationship has lasted for more than ten years, and no one, whether Zou Li or the company employees, has discovered it.

But... Xiao Ying is different from other women.

She followed Gu Shanming not for money or status, but just to repay his kindness.

She was a child from a poor mountainous area. Her parents died when she was young, and she was only raised by an elderly grandmother.

Gu Shanming, who happened to be on a mountain inspection trip at the time, met her and naturally felt sympathy for her, and then gave her material support.

From junior high school to college, it was a full ten years without interruption.

After graduation, she joined Mingshan Technology Company and started as a grassroots employee.

Gu Shanming trusted her very much, and of course she herself had outstanding abilities, and as a result, she climbed step by step to the position of financial director.

No matter how big or small a company is, no matter how legal and compliant it is, there are always some things in the financial aspect that are not visible to the public, and she knows these very well.

At that time, she thought that if it really came to a point where it was irreversible, she would take the blame without hesitation.

Even if she could not get out for the rest of her life, she would never involve Gu Shanming.

The various situations that the company experienced later undoubtedly confirmed her determination.

Gu Shanming was deeply moved when he learned about it, and they developed into lovers.

Xiao Ying never had the idea of ​​getting promoted. She knew Gu Shanming's history of making a fortune and knew that he loved his wife very much, so she was willing to be this lover and didn't even plan to have children.

Although Xiao Ying had worked in the company for more than ten years, she was actually only about 35 years old, more than a generation younger than Gu Shanming.

"Dinglinglingling..."

The phone rang suddenly.

Gu Shanming couldn't help but "click" in his heart when he saw the caller ID.

"Hey, President Zhu... Go and do whatever you need to do. We can have dinner anytime... OK, OK, OK, let's make an appointment next time!"

After hanging up the phone, his face was extremely ugly, and a sense of frustration arose spontaneously.

The last hope was cut off just like that.

After a long while, he slowly turned his head: "I'm afraid this stage will be very difficult to endure. The company can't hold on..."

Xiao Ying has almost never seen Gu Shanming look discouraged.

In her impression, even though this man is in his forties, he has always been high-spirited and confident.

It seems that nothing can stop him.

At this moment, she felt distressed for no reason and said:

"I have saved a lot of money over the years. Let's take it out to deal with emergencies. Although two million is not much, it can last for a while."

"How can you use the money you saved with great difficulty to fill this bottomless pit? Forget it, it won't help."

Xiao Ying's tone was a little excited: "The company is your life's work, are you just going to watch it?"

"I don't want to do this either. Otherwise, what else can I do? I have tried every possible possibility!"

After a pause, Gu Shanming's tone turned soft and he held her hand again: "While you are still young, find another suitable person to marry. After all, I am not a good match and cannot give you happiness..."

"What are you talking about? I followed you without any status. Is it because of your money? Don't you know it in your heart?"

"But..."

Xiao Ying held his hand tightly and said firmly:

"No buts, even if you have nothing, I will still be devoted to youI will follow you all the time, and I don't ask to be your wife. I can even give my savings to your wife and daughter. People who are as bad as me should be extinct soon!" Seeing that Gu Shanming was still silent, Xiao Ying continued: "I have a house in the city and a car under my name. I can sell all these and use the money to continue my business." "You used only 20,000 yuan to build a company with a scale of hundreds of millions. Now you have more experience and a wider network of contacts. Why can't you make a comeback?" "People can lose everything, but... just don't lose confidence, okay? "

Gu Shanming couldn't help but let out a bitter smile.

Are the 20,000 yuan in the 1990s and the 20,000 yuan now the same?

When I was less than 30 years old, I only needed to sleep three or four hours a day in the early stage of starting a business, and I had endless energy.

Now I am nearly 50 years old, can my body bear it?

When you are on the rise, everyone will give you face, but once you fall, those connections will disappear without a trace.

It's good enough if they don't step on you.

After all, there are more people who add icing on the cake in this world, and few who help in times of need.

More importantly, now that the wind of this era is gone, it is not easy to make a comeback.

He stammered a few times and finally sighed: "Forget it, there is no need to waste your money on a useless person like me, and I am not worthy of your trust..."

Hearing that Gu Shanming was still talking nonsense, Xiao Ying also got angry and shook his hand away fiercely: "You are a bastard, stop the car! "

The amplitude of this movement was a bit large, causing Gu Shanming to accidentally step on the brakes.

The moving vehicle suddenly stopped.

"Bang!"

Then, a crash sounded behind the car.

It was rear-ended...

Fortunately, the force was not too strong, and the airbag did not open.

At the same time, a slightly panicked female voice sounded from the red sports car behind.

"Yuwei... I, did I hit someone else's car..."
