Free Web NovelChapter 948: Chapter 921: A Turn of Events and a New Hope
Shi Yu at this moment had indescribable complex emotions in her heart. The mountain pressing down on her head was removed by Qian, but why did she feel only worry and not relief?
Qian still elegantly crossed her legs, her fingers lightly tapping the table, seemingly listening to the lawyers’ statements.
She actually couldn’t understand, but still had to pretend to understand very clearly.
The two lawyers were from different enterprises, representing their respective employers to explain their viewpoints and clarify some legal matters. The shareholders seated felt like they were on a roller coaster, suddenly encountering a turning point from a low point.
Shi Yu’s mother came rushing over, expecting chaos but instead found the lawyer brought by Qian speaking, and she covered her mouth in disbelief. Could her daughter really accomplish what her husband couldn’t?
How on earth did she manage to invite representatives from these two companies? It’s known that they are from different fields and normally have no dealings with them. Why would they suddenly lend a helping hand?
Afterwards, Shi Yu also asked Qian, and Qian told her that since Shi Yu dared to gamble her youth for tomorrow, Chen Xiaoqian dared to exchange a lifetime of genuine feelings, betting only with affection.
Qian was not acting blindly; she had thought about it for a long time. She was not impulsive, but this time she chose to act passionately, not for anything else, but for that leap of faith multiplied by thirty thousand times.
Just as Shi Yu said, some things are not about money. Shi Yu was faithful to Qian, and Qian was faithful to her.
The Shi Family suddenly encountered a turning point, the reinforcements brought by Qian were a boon in a crisis, alleviating the anxiety pressing down for days.
The lawyers were still answering shareholders’ questions, and Qian said to Shi Yu.
"We have taken a huge risk this time and hope you can quickly find your father and have him return to take charge, honoring your dedication as a daughter."
"He... I don’t know where he has gone. I feel very helpless now."
"It’s okay if you can’t find him. You step up!"
"Me?" Shi Yu looked confused.
"You are your father’s daughter, and sure to have his talents within you. If he doesn’t come forth, you need to step in to solve the problems! I will arrange for Narcissus to help you manage the issues, my man will clear the way for your family’s new products, you just need to charge ahead and not let us down."
"Qian, I..." Shi Yu didn’t know where to begin; this was far beyond just gratitude.
"Don’t say anything, no need for sentiment." Qian waved her hand. She didn’t want to embrace Shi Tou and cry; it would be too emotional and degrading.
"Getting the company back on track will be the greatest thanks to me. Also, when your family returns to the peak, don’t forget to thank Narcissus. She really has a tough time."
Shi Yu didn’t know much about Narcissus’s affairs, had seen her a few times but didn’t have deep connections. She only knew she was Qian’s sworn sister; their bond was strong, but never imagined she would stand up as a guarantee in critical moments. Also, her father mentioned that the Teng Family was undergoing generational change, with intense family struggles, making Narcissus’s support a bold move.
And as for Yu Minglang, although the group was still overseen by his father, for him to offer such support was incredibly loyal.
Yet while Qian and Shi Yu were discussing this matter, things had already developed into a very favorable direction, contrary to what they expected.
A miracle occurred.
Qian was fully prepared to help Shi Yu tackle this difficult situation, yet Shi Yu did not want to delay Qian and her consortium because of herself.
"Qian, I truly don’t know what I did to deserve your help like this, but I really don’t want to put all of you at risk over my personal issues."
"A chance multiplied by thirty thousand times is very small; if someone treats themselves this way, they should know to cherish it. You are this to me, and I am to Narcissus as well. In the future, don’t heed that subconscious voice; the most naive feelings might be the most enduring."
If you understand too well and calculate too clearly, you lose the essence of true feelings.
Qian wasn’t sure if she would dare to play this way when older, but while she was still young, there wasn’t anything wrong with taking risks.
The lawyers had finished explaining, and the next step was waiting for Xiaoqiang to come over to guarantee the solution. Just as they were preparing to adjourn, the conference room door opened.
After disappearing for several days and rumored to have absconded with money, Mr. Shi stood at the doorway, with several people behind him.
"Dad?!"
"Honey?!"
Shi Yu and Mrs. Shi were overjoyed.
These days, the two were busy handling matters at the factory, mother and daughter never believed Mr. Shi was a man to abandon duties and run away.
Mr. Shi nodded to everyone and walked in with his people.
"I appreciate your assistance. I will personally thank Mr. Yu and Mr. Teng face-to-face, but this time I don’t need you to guarantee. I convinced the original guarantor to continue supporting us with an extension and secured new sponsorship to help us expand new products. I believe our pharmaceutical factory will turn losses into gains and overcome the crisis!"
With Mr. Shi’s appearance, the whole atmosphere changed. Shi Yu watched as her father made a powerful comeback, the weight carried for days evaporated in an instant.
Mr. Shi first briefly explained the next step to the shareholders, then turned around, touched Shi Yu’s head with relief and affection.
"I made you worry; you worked hard these days. Now Dad is back and won’t let you endure distress any longer."
Shi Yu’s eyes turned sour; she thought she was at a dead end, but suddenly everything took a twist.
First, was Qian’s timely intervention, then the powerful return of her father.
Happiness came too suddenly, Shi Yu’s internal tension relaxed, and she fainted to the side.
Qian quickly helped her to the lounge; this was a normal reaction to emotional swings. When Shi Yu awoke, looking at everything before her, she felt like she was reborn.
"Miss Chen, although this time we didn’t need the reinforcements you brought, this kindness will be remembered by me, Shi. If there’s anything you need from me in the future, feel free to mention it."
Even though the two consortiums brought by Qian were not needed to guarantee, Mr. Shi noted this kindness in his heart.
If he hadn’t returned, he was acutely aware of what Qian’s choice would have meant.
Friendship in prosperity isn’t worth mentioning, but extending a helping hand during adversity, that is a lifelong kindness.
Mr. Shi felt comforted that his daughter had made such a true friend.
"There’s nothing to thank. Shi Yu is a person of integrity; my aim was not to be thanked." As Qian saw Mr. Shi return, her heart sank to relief.
In the previous generation’s timeline, the Shi Family not only didn’t decline in the later stages but reached even greater heights, indicating this crisis should be safely passed. Her righteous support this time, although her reinforcements weren’t needed, gave multiple enterprises a chance to interact. Despite different fields, any future cross-industry collaboration would surely bring countless benefits.
