Chapter 211: About to Explode

Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After hanging up the phone, Bai Xue felt like she was about to explode.

Why was everyone bullying her now? That b*tch Jiang Ling’er must have known that the audition had been canceled. That was why she was so calm and collected before.

Jiang Ling’er had deliberately not said anything because she wanted to see Bai Xue make a fool of herself. That b*tch Jiang Ling’er was simply too evil! Anyway, who was chosen to collaborate with Chen Group?

Jiang Ling’er and Wen Nuan sat in the library for the entire morning.

Sometime after lunch, Jiang Ling’er received a call from Lin Sheng, saying that he had something important to discuss with her.

Jiang Ling’er said goodbye to Wen Nuan and went to the meeting place alone.

Seeing Lin Sheng in a state of panic, Jiang Ling’er’s first thought was that the Lin family was facing a huge problem.

Jiang Ling’er walked over and sat down. She said, “Senior Lin, what’s so serious that you need to speak to me alone?”

Lin Sheng said, “Ling’er, that… Can I call you Ling’er?”

Lin Sheng was a little embarrassed, but he had already called her that.

Jiang Ling’er said, “Sure. What’s wrong? Why do you look so flustered? Did you gamble again and lose?”

Lin Sheng was silent for a moment before he said, “My family’s company is in trouble.”

Lin Sheng used a lot of courage to say it out loud, because he was afraid that Jiang Ling’er would leave immediately.

Jiang Ling’er was stunned. Indeed, there was a problem with the Lin family. If she remembered correctly, in the original book, Lin Sheng was Bai Xue’s loyal bootlicker, but that was after the Lin family fell.

At that time, Papa Lin was in prison, Mama Lin fell ill and passed away not long after. Lin Sheng was being hunted down by debt collectors, so he hid in school and did not dare to go out.

All of Lin Sheng’s friends had deserted him, and even his childhood friends, Wang Shuai and Sun Qiang, had been forced to cut off contact with Lin Sheng.

When Lin Sheng was at his most desperate, Bai Xue suddenly appeared and treated Lin Sheng to a meal, and even paid for Lin Sheng to go to school and graduate.

Lin Sheng was deeply grateful for all of this. As long as he could make Bai Xue happy, Lin Sheng willingly did anything for her, even using his superb computer skills to discredit the original Jiang Ling’er in the story.

However, in the current timeline, the Lin family could probably still be saved. Moreover, this time, it was not Bai Xue who had the upper hand.

“Senior Lin,” Jiang Ling’er said, “the fact that you came to me means that we’re friends. Can you tell me what’s going on? Let’s make a rescue plan together.”

Hearing Jiang Ling’er’s words, Lin Sheng was very touched.

Lin Sheng said, “Actually, our company’s problems aren’t new. We owe the bank a lot of money, and we can’t even pay our staff their salaries.”

Lin Sheng paused for a moment before continuing, “My father said that our company is about to go bankrupt and he might even go to jail. My mother has also fallen ill. Ling’er, I came to see if you have any way to help our Lin family.”

Jiang Ling’er didn’t say a word. The Lin family was a perfume company. It had reached its current state because of the incompetence of the higher-ups and the lack of innovation. If they could find a capable leader, there could still be a turning point.

According to the original book, after the Lin family went bankrupt, Li Yan secretly bought over the company and successfully managed it. In the end, he even gave the company to Bai Xue.

“How about this?” Jiang Ling’er said. “Let your father and my grandfather have a chat first. What do you think?”

“Sure!” said Lin Sheng immediately. “But will your grandfather be willing to meet with us?”

Lin Sheng was not confident.

Jiang Ling’er thought for a moment and said, “I’m sure my grandfather will not reject the meeting. As for the details of the meetup, I’ll let my grandfather decide and get back to you.”

“It would be great if the Jiang family could acquire the Lin family’s company,” Lin Sheng said excitedly.

Jiang Ling’er was stunned for a moment before she smiled and said, “Why acquisition? Can’t it be to help your Lin family stand at the peak again?”

Lin Sheng said self-deprecatingly, “To be honest, my father doesn’t know how to manage the company at all. Ever since my grandfather passed away, the company has been in a bad state. My father has always wanted to give up, but he has never found a suitable person to take over the company. That’s why he has barely managed to hold on until now.”

Lin Sheng recalled what his father said to him and shared it with Jiang Ling’er. “We’re about to go bankrupt. The bank is also urging us to pay back the money every day. Moreover, the employees’ salaries have been in arrears for a long time. According to my father, if we can’t pay off the employees’ salaries this time, he’ll definitely go to jail. When my mother found out about our situation, she fell ill and is still in the hospital.”

Lin Sheng continued sadly. “So, if possible, I hope that the Jiang family can buy the Lin family’s company, pay off the employees’ salaries, and pay off the bank. Then, our family will live an ordinary life in the future..”
