Chapter 210: Shi Family’s Capital Chain Broken

"No, Zhu Jie, do you know who her husband is?"

A classmate asked.

Zhu Jie said: "How do I know who her husband is? But it seems that she doesn't have much money, after all, she is wearing an electronic watch."

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

Zhu Jie said proudly: "Of course I know that the Shiyi Hotel is a domestic luxury hotel group, and the banquets there start at almost 30,000 per table..."

Ding Yiyi said: "Yuan Xi's husband is Huo Shiyan, the president of Shiyi Group, so she said she would give us a 88% discount."

Zhu Jie was stunned, "What? How is this possible?"

Yuan Xi looked at Zhu Jie's stunned expression and just smiled faintly at Ding Yiyi and the other classmates, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Yuan Xi arrived at the private room and had just ordered the dishes when Liang Suisui, Chen Yuan and Shi Lei also came in.

Liang Suisui also looked like he was still drunk.

Yuan Xi chuckled and said, "Did you drink a lot of wine last night?"

Liang Suisui said: "No, Gu Hanchen seemed to be emo later, and left after playing for a short time."

"Emo? Gu Hanchen?"

Yuan Xi doesn't think that Gu Hanchen would be associated with the word depression.

Liang Suisui said: "Really, not long after you left, Gu Hanchen also left."

Yuan Xi smiled and looked at Shi Lei and Chen Yuan who were standing by. They looked very haggard. "What happened to you?"

Liang Suisui said: "We got a new batch of orders and acquired two chemical fiber factories. In the future, our little Shitou may be called Mr. Shi."

Shi Lei said, "What acquisition? It's obvious that the local authorities are afraid that the two chemical fiber factories will go bankrupt and close down, and there will be too many unemployed employees, so they arranged for us to take over. The accounts of those two companies are in a mess, and it's hard to sort them out. They've been very busy recently."

Liang Suisui sneered, "You are taking advantage of me and still acting like a good kid. Who wouldn't want such a good thing? Mr. Xiaoshi."

Shi Lei said: "I'm so tired. I've been attending social events every day recently. I don't know how much I've drunk just to get some loans. My parents just keep trying to get me pregnant. How can I have a baby in this situation?"

Yuan Xi covered his face and said, "Why didn't you ask me for a loan? Shitou, Yuanzi, you really don't consider me a friend, do you?"

Chen Yuan said embarrassedly: "It is because I regard you as a friend that I don't come to ask you for money. We are not sure whether we can repay this loan in the end. Originally, our funds are enough..."

Chen Yuan looked at Shi Lei.

Shi Lei glanced at Liang Suisui.

Yuan Xi saw the hesitation in their eyes and said, "We have known each other for twenty-six years, and it will be twenty-seven years soon. Is there anything we can't say in person?"

Chen Yuan said: "Let's see how much money the bank can lend us. If we really run into difficulties, we won't be polite to you."

The door of the box opened, and Huo Shiyan came in from outside. He heard what Chen Yuan said and asked, "Is your factory short of funds?"

Shi Lei said: "If there is a shortfall, a bank loan can solve it. It's not a big problem."

Huo Shiyan said: "If you need help, just ask."

Shi Lei smiled and said, "Don't worry. If I really need your help, I will definitely ask for it." Chen Yuan saw Yuan Xi covering his face and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Wisdom tooth inflammation."

Chen Yuan asked, "Have you taken the medicine?"

Yuan Xi said: "I haven't bought it yet. I'll buy some medicine when I pass by the pharmacy later."

Liang Suisui said, "Just have your wisdom teeth removed. Didn't they often get inflamed when you were in college? You didn't have the money to have them removed back then, but you can have them removed now."

Shi Lei smiled, "I think Xiaoxi doesn't dare to have her tooth pulled. I remember when she was little, she followed Zhuangzhuang back to City A to avoid having her tooth pulled. But Zhuangzhuang gave her a candy and her tooth fell out. She went home happily, but Zhuangzhuang, who didn't go home with Xiaoxi, hugged me and cried for the whole afternoon."

Huo Shiyan: “…”

Shi Lei added: "Since that time, I haven't seen Zhuangzhuang bring us White Rabbit candy anymore."

Liang Suisui laughed and said, "Hahaha, Xiaoxi, you actually did something like this before?"

Yuan Xi looked at Huo Shiyan. She didn’t even know there was a sequel.

When Huo Shiyan saw Yuan Xi's smiling eyes, he could only chuckle. Sometimes he really didn't want to have dinner with Shi Lei.

Chen Yuan said: "Xiao Xi, you are lucky that your wisdom teeth did not get inflamed during pregnancy. You should have them removed as soon as possible. If they get inflamed when you are pregnant with your third child, it will be even more uncomfortable."

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "I don't even plan to have three babies."

Yuan Xi had a toothache, so she didn't eat much, mostly just drinking soup. She saw Chen Yuan going to the bathroom, so she followed him.

While washing his hands, Yuan Xi looked at Chen Yuan in the mirror and said, "Yuanzi, what did you just say that you didn't finish? Are you hiding something from me on purpose?"

Chen Yuan wiped her hands with a tissue, took out her lipstick from her pocket and touched up her makeup, saying, "I don't know how to start this conversation. Sigh! It's mainly about Sui Sui..."

"What's wrong?" Yuan Xi asked.

Chen Yuan said: "You also know the current international situation. Our textile industry has been suppressed by the international community. Therefore, many factories now go to Southeast Asia to set up factories, just to facilitate exports. Uncle Shi also plans to set up a factory in Southeast Asia. He and Uncle Liang and a few business friends often go to Southeast Asia for inspection. At the beginning, it was pretty good, but later they were taken to gamble..."

Yuan Xi frowned and said, "The Bo family has such a large business, but it went bankrupt because of gambling. Why didn't Uncle Shi and Uncle Liang learn a lesson?!"

Although Bo Fan was set up, he lost nine times out of ten, and the one time he won was because the dealer deliberately lured him in.

Chen Yuan said: "When Shi Lei and I found out, we were furious. Fortunately, Shi Lei's mother was very strong and let Shi Lei take over the family factory and business. She took Shi Lei's father to Australia and took his passport. Shi Lei's father couldn't speak the language, so he could only walk around the Chinese community in Australia. He didn't have much money to gamble."

"It would not have been difficult for Shi Lei's factory to merge the two chemical fiber factories, but because Shi Lei's father embezzled nearly 30 million yuan of gambling funds for cash turnover, it fell into a difficult situation."

"The local banks may have heard about their gambling losses abroad, so they are tightening their lending policy."

Yuan Xi listened to Chen Yuan's words and sighed, "Uncle Shi is almost sixty years old, how did he get into this situation? A gap of thirty million is nothing to us. I'll transfer the money to you, don't be polite with me."

Chen Yuan said: "At the beginning, they gambled in Jiangcheng, saying that small bets can make people happy, but after their appetites were gradually fed, they went abroad to gamble heavily."

After Chen Yuan put away the lipstick, she held Yuan Xi's hand and said, "Xiao Xi, I'll be honest with you. It's a little difficult to get a loan now, but we can get through this difficult time.

I know that for you and Huo Shiyan, this 27 million is just a drop in the bucket, but we don't know how long it will take us to pay it back. It's precisely because of our years of relationship that I don't want to erase it. When we really encounter a crisis and need help, I will definitely not be polite. "

Yuan Xi smiled gently and said, "Okay."

Chen Yuan said: "Our family is relatively well off. We still have some assets. It's just that the company's capital chain has been cut off. We haven't reached the point where we have to sell our house or car. But Suisui's family... I heard that they lost all the compensation for the demolition. It's been two months since the Chinese New Year, and the employees in the factory haven't even received their salaries before the New Year..."
