After my divorce, I became a lucky super-rich person.

Chapter 13 Difficulties

Since Nina is still in the training phase, Chen Jiang will have to wait at the company to pick her up.

However... although Zhang Jie was indeed playing matchmaker for her, and Xu Ruirui didn't stop him, and it was Nina who took the initiative, it was still a bit awkward that she was so resistant and indifferent in the morning, but then she got him into bed that night.

So Chen Jiang didn't go upstairs to wait in the company. Instead, he parked his car in the parking space downstairs, took out his phone, and started looking at the news he had just seen that day about someone abroad inheriting a huge fortune.

He had only glanced at it twice when he noticed a somewhat familiar figure standing on the roadside not far from his car, making a phone call. The intermittent sound came through:

"I know...the company is just entering a development phase...I hope you can help me, Mr. Wang...it's a new batch of models...anyway, I don't agree..."

Curious, Chen Jiang got out of the car and took a few steps closer. Sure enough, it was someone he knew – Zhang Jie's wife. Why was she making a phone call here? After waiting a while until she finished her call, he approached and greeted her.

"sister in law?"

Chen Jiang's approach startled Xu Ruirui, who was on the phone. She cautiously put down the phone and turned around. Seeing it was Chen Jiang, she breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little puzzled.

"Jiang Zi, what are you doing here?"

"Ahem, well..." Chen Jiang suddenly felt awkward, but he couldn't lie, so he pointed upstairs: "I'm here to pick up those two..."

Xu Ruirui's expression suddenly became quite interesting. She looked Chen Jiang up and down carefully, and then suddenly laughed:

"Oh, I see. I see."

"Your brother Jie said you have an introverted personality and are a bit shy... I said I don't seem like it. Sure enough, I'm much better at judging people than your brother Jie."

"This also falls under the category of something that happened suddenly."

Chen Jiang was genuinely embarrassed. No matter what, Nina was an employee of that company, and she came from abroad. If something happened, the other party would not be able to escape responsibility.

Xu Ruirui wasn't really angry, and shook her head:

"It's nothing, it's not a big deal. I've worked with plenty of foreign models, and none of them are easy to deal with. You can have some fun, but be careful about other things."

"Besides... you heard it yourself, the company is about to go bankrupt, I'm not in the mood to deal with this mess."

Chen Jiang hadn't really heard clearly; he only caught something about the company's development phase. Upon hearing this, he was immediately shocked:

"Huh? What happened?"

"I overheard you on the phone just now. Didn't you say it was in the company's development phase or something? How come it's all falling through now?"

Xu Ruirui took out a cigarette, lit it for herself, and offered one to Chen Jiang. He refused, but she didn't seem to mind. She took out her lighter, lit it, and after letting out a long sigh, said:

"It's all thanks to those two rotten bastards I partnered with... Damn it, if I hadn't checked the accounts carefully today, I wouldn't have known those two bastards were up to so much trouble right under my nose!"

"I can overlook the fact that they use company resources to take on some side jobs, but they even tried to evade taxes and falsify accounts. I'm the legal representative of the company, so isn't this just blatantly sabotaging me?"

"The company is indeed in its growth phase. I just secured several sizable deals at the upcoming exhibitions in Shenzhen, and then this happened."

"No matter what, I can't stand it anymore. Let's just part ways then. At worst, I'll just find another company and be an agent again. I have plenty of connections; I'm not going to starve!"

Chen Jiang was truly impressed. He was impressed by the mess the two partners had made, and also by the fact that Xu Ruirui had discovered it in time. Otherwise, if the truth had come out, she would probably have been in jail for two years.

"Does Brother Jie know about this?"

Xu Ruirui glanced at Chen Jiang:

"This happened today, I haven't even gone home yet, of course he doesn't know."

"I'm not stupid, I'll tell him."

Chen Jiang gave an awkward laugh, then asked curiously:

"But sister-in-law, haven't you already identified the problem? Why is the company still going to fail?"

Xu Ruirui also wanted to vent her emotions to someone, so she explained:

"Yes, so those aren't the problem now. The problem is that those two rotten asses secretly mortgaged the company's shares without my knowledge. Now I can't get my shares back, and to get them back I need a large sum of money, but the company's funds have already been used to pay for the new contract."

"Afterwards, in addition to funding those few events, employee salaries and various event expenses became problems."

"If we can successfully complete the next contract, then there will naturally be a cash flow and positive development."

"But with those two rotten asses causing all this trouble, no legitimate company would hire a company like mine that's rife with problems. So now we're stuck in a dilemma: either find new funding or we're doomed."

"I just called a client to ask if they wanted to invest some money, but these days people are very shrewd. Who would fall for a scam if they know it's a trap?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiang's heart stirred:

"How much funding does the company need?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ruirui sighed:

"Just the shares those two people pledged would cost four million to redeem, plus late fees and penalties, it would probably be five million."

"I've managed to save up some money over the years, but it took up a lot of it when I married your brother Jie. I still need to save some for the kids, so I can't give it all away."

"Five million...!"

Chen Jiang lowered his head and pondered for a few seconds, then suddenly patted his chest:

"It was only five million, no big deal!"

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I've invested this money!"

He wasn't a very insightful person, nor did he understand things like investing.

He has some money now because of a sudden stroke of good luck... But precisely because he got what he has now through luck, Chen Jiang feels that if he keeps this luck, even if he invests the money in Xu Ruirui's company, he will definitely not lose out.

In addition, he had always wanted to repay Zhang Jie's favor, and now was the perfect opportunity.

Five million is nothing. At worst, he can just place a few more lottery bets tomorrow and make tens of millions more!

"You? Five million?"

Before Chen Jiang could get too excited, Xu Ruirui burst out laughing and patted his shoulder, saying, "Well done, Jiangzi, that joke made your sister-in-law laugh."

"If you really have five million, you should keep it for yourself to get married. You can't accept your sister-in-law."

"Besides, you don't need to worry about us. Even if I lose the company, I still have Zhang Jie's shops, which are enough for us to raise the child."

"But since you're so loyal, if you ever get tired of this, just come find your sister-in-law. I've been in this industry for so many years, I can find you anything!"

"Alright, those two foreign girls are out. Go keep the girls company!"

After saying that, he laughed and punched Chen Jiang again, then turned and walked towards the lobby of the office building.

"You..."

Chen Jiang was speechless... No, Zhang Jie didn't tell her about winning the lottery, making it seem like he was just putting on an act.

He wanted to call out to Xu Ruirui to explain the situation, but before he could even open his mouth, he saw Nina, who was tall and wearing hot pants, a crop top, and Margarita, who was dressed similarly, walk over quickly and take his arm.

"Honey, let's go."

Chen Jiang was interrupted for a moment, and when he looked at Xu Ruirui, she had already entered the office building. He could only helplessly put his hand down and put his arm around Nina's waist.

Okay, it seems I was overthinking things. And this is indeed no small matter. I have a lot of money on hand now, but five million is still a large sum. If I invest it and the company doesn't perform well, it could easily damage relationships.

Even if you really want to invest, you might as well ask Zhang Jie. His family has been wealthy since childhood, he has a lot of experience, and he would never cheat you.

Moreover, by making things clear, at least we won't hurt our friendship.

However... in the end, it's because he doesn't have enough money. If he had a hundred million instead of ten million, he probably would have done it without even thinking about it.

"Sigh, if I could inherit a fortune, would I need to worry about this?"

Chen Jiang glanced down at the news on his phone, shook his head, turned around, got into his car, and drove away.
