Chapter 210: Chapter 210: Shi Family’s Capital Chain Breaks

“Not really, Zhu Jie, do you know who her husband is?”

A classmate asked.

Zhu Jie said, “How would I know who her husband is? But he must not have much money, considering he’s still wearing a digital watch.”

Ding Yiyi scoffed and said, “Do you really not go online or watch the news? You came to this hotel for a banquet today, so you should know about Shiyi Hotel, right?”

Zhu Jie arrogantly replied, “Of course I know it. Shiyi Hotel is a high-end luxury hotel group in the country where the banquets start at almost thirty thousand per table…”

Ding Yiyi said, “Yuan Xi’s husband is Huo Shiyuan, the president of Shiyi Group, that’s why she said she’d give us an 88% discount.”

Zhu Jie was stunned, “What? How is that possible?”

Yuan Xi looked at Zhu Jie’s dazed expression, smiled faintly at Ding Yiyi and some other classmates, and said, “I have some other things to deal with, so I’ll be leaving now.”

Yuan Xi entered the private room and had just ordered dishes when Liang Suisui and Chen Yuanshi came in.

Liang Suisui was clearly still hungover.

Yuan Xi chuckled and asked, “Did you drink a lot again last night?”

Liang Suisui said, “Not really, Gu Hanchen seemed ’emo’ afterward, and we didn’t stick around much longer and just left.”

“‘Emo’? Gu Hanchen?”

Yuan Xi didn’t think that Gu Hanchen could be associated with depression.

Liang Suisui said, “Really, you guys hadn’t left long when Gu Hanchen also left.”

Yuan Xi smiled and looked at Shi Lei and Chen Yuan next to her, who obviously looked exhausted, “What’s wrong with you guys?”

Liang Suisui said, “We got some new orders, acquired two chemical fiber plants, so our little Shitou might soon be known as ‘Director Shi’.”

Shi Lei said, “What acquisition? It’s clearly because the locals were afraid the two chemical fiber plants would go bankrupt and lay off too many employees, so they gave us the task of taking them over. The accounts of those companies are a mess, really hard to sort out, and we’ve indeed been very busy recently.”

Liang Suisui scoffed, “You’re making a profit and still playing coy, who wouldn’t want such a good deal? Little Director.”

Shi Lei said, “Too exhausted. Recently, I’ve been spending every day on social obligations just to secure some loans, drinking more than I can count. My parents are just pushing for a grandchild, how can we even think of having kids under these circumstances?”

Yuan Xi, covering her cheek, said, “Why don’t you ask me for a loan? Shitou, Yuanzi, aren’t you treating me as a friend?”

Chen Yuan awkwardly said, “It’s precisely because we consider you a friend that we didn’t come to borrow money. We’re not even sure if we can repay this loan in the end, though our own funds were actually sufficient…”

Chen Yuan glanced at Shi Lei.

Shi Lei glanced at Liang Suisui.

Yuan Xi observed their hesitations in their eyes and said, “We’ve known each other for twenty-six years now, soon to be twenty-seven, isn’t there anything we can’t discuss openly?”

Chen Yuan said, “Let’s see how much the bank will lend us first. If we really run into trouble, we won’t hold back in asking you for help.”

The door of the private room opened, and Huo Shiyuan entered from outside. He had overheard Chen Yuan’s words and asked, “Is your factory short of funds?”

Shi Lei said, “A bit, but a bank loan should solve it, it’s not a big problem.”

Huo Shiyuan said, “If there is anything you need help with, just feel free to ask.”

Shi Lei smiled, “Don’t worry, if I really need your help, I will definitely ask for it.”

Chen Yuan saw Yuan Xi covering her face and asked, “What happened?”

“My wisdom tooth is inflamed.”

Chen Yuan said, “Have you taken any medicine?”

Yuan Xi replied, “Not yet, I plan to buy some when we pass by a pharmacy later.”

Liang Suisui said, “You should just get your wisdom tooth removed, you often had inflammation during college, right? Back then you couldn’t afford it, but now you can.”

Shi Lei smiled, “Xiao Xi is probably scared of getting her tooth pulled, right? I remember when she was little, to avoid having her tooth pulled, she followed Zhuangzhuang back to A City. As a result, Zhuangzhuang gave her a piece of candy, and her tooth fell out. She happily went home, but Zhuangzhuang, who didn’t have Little Xi with him, cried all afternoon holding me.”

Huo Shiyan: “…”

Shi Lei continued, “Since that incident, I’ve never seen Zhuangzhuang bring us White Rabbit Creamy Candy again.”

Liang Suisui laughed and said, “Hahaha, Xiao Xi, you actually did something like that?”

Yuan Xi looked at Huo Shiyan; she was unaware there was a sequel to the story.

Seeing Yuan Xi’s amused eyes, Huo Shiyan could only chuckle softly; sometimes he really didn’t want to have meals with Shi Lei.

Chen Yuan said, “Xiao Xi, you’re lucky your wisdom tooth didn’t inflame during your pregnancy. It’s better to get it pulled sooner to avoid discomfort if you get pregnant with triplets.”

Yuan Xi smiled, “I never planned to have triplets.”

Yuan Xi’s toothache prevented her from eating much; she mostly drank soup. Seeing Chen Yuan heading to the restroom, she followed.

While washing hands, Yuan Xi looked at Chen Yuan in the mirror and said, “Yuanzi, that unfinished sentence earlier, are you hiding something from me on purpose?”

Chen Yuan, wiping her hands with a paper towel and touching up her makeup with lipstick from her pocket, said, “This matter, I don’t even know how to start. It mainly concerns Suisui…”

“What happened?” Yuan Xi asked.

Chen Yuan explained, “You know the current international situation. Our textile industry has always been under international pressure, so many factories are moving to Southeast Asia to facilitate exports. Uncle Shi and Uncle Liang, along with a few business friends, often go to Southeast Asia for inspection. Initially, it went well, but later, they were led to gamble…”

Yuan Xi frowned, “The Bo Family lost their fortune because of gambling. Why haven’t Uncle Shi and Uncle Liang learned their lesson?!”

Although Bo Fan was trapped by someone, the odds of losing in gambling are high, and the rare wins are just the casino enticing more bets.

Chen Yuan said, “Shi Lei and I were furious when we found out. Luckily, Shi Lei’s mom is strong-willed. She took over the family’s factory and business and took Shi Lei’s dad to Australia. They even took away his passport. Since he doesn’t speak the language, in Australia he can only wander around the Chinese community. Wanting to gamble, he doesn’t have much money.”

“It wouldn’t have been difficult for Shi Lei’s family’s factory to acquire two chemical fiber factories, but because Shi Lei’s dad misappropriated nearly thirty million in cash as gambling funds, they encountered a difficult situation.”

“The local banks probably also heard about their losses overseas, so they made getting loans very difficult.”

Listening to Chen Yuan, Yuan Xi sighed, “Uncle Shi is almost sixty, how did he get involved in this mess? Thirty million is nothing for us, I’ll transfer the money to you, don’t be polite with me.”

Chen Yuan said, “It started with them gambling in Jiang City, saying ‘a little gambling is enjoyable,’ and gradually their appetite grew until they went abroad to gamble heavily.”

After putting away her lipstick, Chen Yuan held Yuan Xi’s hand and said, “Xiao Xi, telling you the blunt truth, obtaining funding is tough right now, but we can still get through this tough period.

I know for you and Huo Shiyan, thirty million is just a drop in the ocean, but we don’t know how long it will take us to repay this thirty million. It’s exactly because of our 27 years of friendship that I don’t want to ruin it. If we really encounter a crisis and need help, I certainly won’t hesitate.”

Yuan Xi smiled lightly and said, “Okay.”

Chen Yuan continued, “Our family is still okay, we still have some savings, it’s just the company’s cash flow that’s broken. We haven’t reached the point where we need to sell our houses or cars, but Suisui’s family… I heard they lost all their demolition compensation, and the factory’s workers haven’t been paid since before the New Year; it’s been two months already…”
