120: Lin Jianjun’s plan is to sell the shares back to Lin Xuan!
Modu First Peoples Hospital.
Facing Lin Hao’s anxious questions, Bai Yuelan also looked bewildered.
She hadn't forgotten that to raise 3.5 billion, they had borrowed high-interest loans from Lord Hu.
Originally, with the popularity of the beauty cream, paying off several hundred million in high-interest loans would have been more than enough.
But now that the company was facing bankruptcy, where would they get the money to repay the high-interest loans?
And with Lord Hu's unscrupulous nature, if they really couldn't pay, wouldn't the consequences be... Bai Yuelan grew more and more frightened the more she thought about it. She looked at the man on the hospital bed, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.
Husband and wife are like birds in the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly their separate ways.
Anyway, the borrower for that high-interest loan was Lin Jianjun.
If it really came to a dead end, she would just take Lin Hao and run away with the money...
“Xiao Hao, how much savings do we have left now?”
With different thoughts in mind, Bai Yuelan began to tally up the family's assets.
“Alas, not much left! We had saved quite a bit over the years.”
“Even if Lin Corporation went bankrupt, we would still be able to live comfortably for a short time.”
“But last time, to gain Daddy’s favor, we gave it all to that scoundrel Lin Xuan.”
“...”
Lin Hao sighed, filled with deep regret.
If he could do it again, he definitely wouldn't have tried to show off, leading to him having no cars or houses under his name now.
But he wasn't the only one regretting...
Bai Yuelan also gritted her teeth, deeply regretting her complete lack of reservations back then.
If she had known this day would come, she should have at least kept some property and funds for self-defense...
At her wit's end!
Bai Yuelan finally set her sights on Lin Corporation itself.
“Xiao Hao, what about the company’s account? How much money is left?”
“If it comes to bankruptcy liquidation! Your Daddy, as the largest shareholder, should be able to take a large portion, right?”
Ever since Lin Jianjun announced in the company that Lin Hao was his only heir, he had given Lin Hao the position of General Manager of the finance department.
He hoped that he could gain experience in the company so that he could seamlessly take over the company in the future.
So, Lin Hao was very clear about some of the company's financial situation.
He didn't think too much, and after a moment of thought, he stated the information he knew.
“There’s less than a hundred million left in the company’s account, I think! Perhaps... a few tens of millions could be distributed?”
A few tens of millions?
A hundred-billion-yuan corporation can only distribute a few tens of millions in the end; that's too little...
That's not enough to spend at all; it would be gone in a year.
Bai Yuelan frowned, feeling somewhat helpless, but even a small mosquito has meat!
It's better than having nothing at all...
However, it was not yet time for such despair.
Bai Yuelan decided to bide her time.
She would wait for Lin Jianjun to wake up and ask him if he had a way to turn the tide...
If possible, she definitely wanted to continue being a wealthy wife.
After all, she had endured as a virtuous wife for many years and had only just managed to climb to her current position; she was truly reluctant to give it up easily.
Of course.
If there was absolutely no other way in the end, she would not be soft-hearted and would have to take Xiao Hao and run away with the money...
Just thinking that Lin Hao might not agree, thinking she was too cold-blooded and heartless.
Bai Yuelan thought to herself, perhaps... it was time to give her Son a heads-up and tell him that secret.
She placed her hands on Lin Hao’s shoulders, staring into her beloved Son’s pupils, her expression extremely serious.
What she was about to say... might overturn Lin Hao’s long-held worldview, so she had to be cautious.
To be honest!
If it weren't for this incident with the Lin family, she had planned to take this secret to her grave.
Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes; it truly was beyond her control.
“Xiao Hao!”
“Mommy has a secret to tell you. You must remain calm after hearing it, understand?!”
(꒪ ꇴ ꒪(꒪ ꇴ ꒪ ;)) Huh???
Lin Hao’s head was full of question marks.
It was his first time seeing his mother look so serious.
But realizing the gravity of the situation, Lin Hao nodded solemnly, indicating that he understood.
Inhale~~
Exhale~~
Bai Yuelan took a few deep breaths and said, word by word:
“Xiao Hao, actually you...”
“What are you two doing? (|_・))”
A familiar voice came from behind, nearly scaring Bai Yuelan to death.
She turned around abruptly and found that Lin Jianjun had woken up at some point, had removed his medical oxygen mask, and was frowning at them.
“Hu-hu-husband. When did you wake up?”
Bai Yuelan stammered, beads of nervous sweat appearing on her forehead.
She didn't know if Lin Jianjun had overheard anything specific...
“Daddy, you’re awake! Xiao Hao was so worried about you!”
Compared to Bai Yuelan, whose palms were sweating from nervousness.
Lin Hao was quite surprised, as if he had seen his backbone, and trotted to Lin Jianjun's side, his face full of concern.
For a moment, he even overlooked his mother's earlier strangeness.
“Oh! I just woke up and saw you two standing by the window, looking very serious. What were you whispering about?”
Lin Jianjun’s face was pale, but looking at his beloved Son, he still smiled and nodded.
Upon hearing this.
Bai Yuelan’s heart raced, fearing that her Son might say something he shouldn't.
Fortunately, Lin Hao wasn't foolish; he played the role of a filial Son to perfection, allowing Bai Yuelan to secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
“Nothing! We just didn’t want to disturb Daddy’s rest, right? So we stood a bit farther away.”
“By the way, Daddy. How are you feeling? Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I’ll get it for you!”
Listening to the concern in his beloved Son’s words.
Lin Jianjun’s heart felt warm, as if filled with endless strength.
My Xiao Hao is indeed my most filial Good Son!!!
“No need, I’m a bit thirsty. A little water is enough. Wait a moment, let your Mommy pour it!”
He grabbed Lin Hao, who was about to get up.
Lin Jianjun looked at Bai Yuelan, who was standing foolishly by the window, seemingly in a daze, and frowned in displeasure:
“Yue Lan? Are you that unhappy that I woke up? Why are you standing so far away? (|_・))”
“Hurry up and get me a glass of water! Hmph!”
Hearing the displeasure in Lin Jianjun’s words, (# ̄ ~  ̄#) Bai Yuelan suddenly snapped back to attention.
She had just carefully observed Lin Jianjun’s facial expressions and reactions and was finally able to confirm that he hadn't heard anything.
Feeling relieved, she put on a smile again, quickly took out a disposable cup, and filled it with water from the dispenser.
Coming to Lin Jianjun’s bedside, she said coquettishly:
“Husband~~~ Don’t misunderstand~~~”
“How could I be unhappy that you woke up?”
“I was just so excited and thrilled to see you awaken that my mind temporarily froze.”
“Come~~~ Ah~~~ Open your mouth, I’ll feed you water~~~”
“...”
An ancient saying goes: even a hero finds it hard to resist a beauty.
Under his dainty wife's coquetry, Lin Jianjun's displeasure instantly vanished.
He happily opened his mouth, enjoying his dainty wife's “water-feeding” service.
If it weren't for his Son being present, he would have definitely made Bai Yuelan feed him mouth-to-mouth.
“Is it good, Husband~~~”
“Delicious, so sweet! With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for! The water you feed me is just fragrant~~~”
“Daddy~~~ Mommy~~~ I’m still a child! Don’t pollute my innocent mind!”
“Hahahaha...”
At this moment, the VIP ward was filled with laughter.
The family was harmonious, a picture of happiness and contentment...
Soon, after Lin Jianjun finished his warm water.
He gradually reined in the smile on his face and inquired about the company's current situation.
But even with prior psychological preparation, upon hearing the grim situation, Lin Jianjun almost blacked out and nearly fainted again from anger.
“Daddy, the situation is very bad now. Our Lin family has become a target, and countless forces are taking advantage of our misfortune.”
“All of the company’s various business operations are blocked and stagnant. The HR manager keeps sending news that many employees have submitted their resignations...”
Lin Hao looked anxious, explaining the current grim situation of Lin Corporation one by one.
“Daddy, please make a decision quickly.”
“If we don’t find a solution soon, the company will really only be left with bankruptcy liquidation.”
Bankruptcy liquidation?
No, I absolutely cannot let that happen!!!
Hearing that Lin Corporation was about to go bankrupt, Lin Jianjun clenched his fists, his face growing increasingly grim and ugly.
He had only just managed to gain full control of the company and become the sole owner of the Lin family, but before his seat was even warm, why was this throne about to collapse?!
“Yue Lan, where’s my phone? Give it to me quickly!”
“Here it is! Husband, here you go!”
Bai Yuelan quickly handed over the latest iPhone from her handbag.
Taking the phone, Lin Jianjun quickly checked it.
The more he looked, the more he felt his heart pound.
In the internet age, even a slight disturbance becomes widely known.
The issue of the beauty cream causing disfigurement was now common knowledge, and the internet had become a carnival for trolls and keyboard warriors.
Major and minor bloggers, streamers, and other internet celebrities on various platforms all came out to comment, kicking the Lin family while they were down to gain some traffic.
The entire network was filled with curses!
Some even turned his apology video into various silly clips and parody games.
His personal Weibo was flooded with insults, a large number of vulgar messages greeting his ancestors, which made Lin Jianjun breathe rapidly and his blood pressure skyrocket...
“Husband, say something? Quickly come up with an idea!”
Seeing Lin Jianjun silent after browsing his phone, Bai Yuelan couldn't help but ask.
Upon hearing this.
Lin Jianjun gave a bitter laugh, tossed his phone aside, and looked utterly dejected.
“Alas! There’s no hope... This matter has become too big; it’s beyond saving.”
“Especially since the product to counteract the side effects of the cream hasn’t been developed yet. Those customers who have already been disfigured will never let the Lin family off the hook.”
No matter how unwilling he was, the cruel facts were before him, and Lin Jianjun had no choice but to accept them.
The most important thing for a company is its reputation and credibility.
When everyone spontaneously boycotts you, that company can basically be declared bankrupt.
“Ah... this?!”
Lin Hao and his Mommy looked at each other; Lin Jianjun was their last hope.
But now that he was so desperate and had given up, Lin Corporation was truly beyond saving...
“The only option now is to find a way to get more money in the end. Then we'll immigrate to the United States.”
Lin Jianjun thought for a moment and finally made up his mind.
Although he was very reluctant to give up Lin Corporation, there was no other way now.
Dragging it out further would likely only make the situation worse, eventually leading to a complete loss of everything.
“Then Daddy, how are we going to get money? With the spread of information, the original plan definitely can’t be carried out.”
“And now, there isn’t much money left in the company’s account...”
Lin Hao explained the company's approximate financial situation, which made Lin Jianjun's hair turn white with worry.
Damn it!
If only he hadn't spent that 3.5 billion back then, with several billion in hand, he could live comfortably for a long time even if he immigrated overseas.
That's right, 3.5 billion!!!
Suddenly, Lin Jianjun slapped his forehead, his eyes lighting up.
He picked up his phone again and started dialing.
“I’m going to sell the shares back to that unfilial Son.”
After hearing Lin Jianjun’s words.
Lin Hao and his Mommy’s faces flashed with joy, but they quickly frowned and sighed.
Unless Lin Xuan was a fool, he wouldn't possibly take over, would he?
After all, buying an enterprise destined to go bankrupt at a high price, how idiotic would someone have to be to do such a thing?!
“But big brother... will he really buy it? You know the company’s situation now; whoever takes over basically dies, right?”
Hearing this, Lin Jianjun frowned; he also had such concerns.
But now, besides that unfilial Son, others were probably avoiding him like the plague, let alone getting money from them for their escape.
Regardless, he had to try, Lin Jianjun began to brace himself.
“Hmph! The Lin family was at least founded by that unfilial Son’s mother. I don’t believe he can just watch the Lin family fall!”
“Even if he doesn’t buy it, I’m still his father. Can he really just stand by and watch me die without helping? Giving some money to support me isn’t too much to ask, is it?!”
“As the saying goes: our bodies, hair, and skin are received from our parents.”
“That unfilial Son was born and raised by me, so he must listen to me, otherwise he is unfilial.”
“Nezha in fairy tale even returned his flesh to his mother and his bones to his father. I’m not asking for his life, just a bit of money, that’s not too much, is it?!”
“...”
Regarding Lin Jianjun’s eloquent remarks.
Lin Hao and his Mommy nodded in deep agreement, thinking it made a lot of sense.
After all, even if a contract to sever ties was signed, the blood relationship between the two parties could never truly be broken.
Now that their biological father was in trouble, even the most hard-hearted person couldn't remain indifferent, right?
Thinking this way, a glimmer of hope rose in their eyes again.
“Shush~~~ Don’t talk yet. I've figured it out; that kid responds to softness, not toughness.”
“To get money from that unfilial Son, I can only pretend to be submissive for now.”
Lin Jianjun raised his index finger to his lips, signaling Lin Hao and his Mommy to be quiet.
Beep beep beep —
Soon.
The call connected, and Lin Xuan’s cold voice came through.
“Hello.”
“Son~~~ Save Daddy, save the Lin family! Daddy knows he was wrong, woo woo woo...”
