After a wealthy woman went bankrupt, her live-in husband became her sugar daddy.

Chapter 168 The Risk of Bankruptcy

“Starting this afternoon, people have been dumping large amounts of stock. If we can’t absorb these stocks, the Jiang Group’s stock will plummet tomorrow morning, and the Jiang Group will be finished.”

Lin Nan was urgently reporting on the current dire situation, his brows furrowed and his expression anxious.

When she looked up and caught sight of me, she frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "What's she doing here?"

Before I could even speak, Jiang Yichen had already sensed the subtle change in the atmosphere. He decisively interrupted Lin Nan: "Take care of company matters first."

"I've already gathered everyone in the conference room. You know more about trading than I do. Everyone's waiting in the conference room."

Jiang Yichen nodded. "Let's go to the conference room."

The two of them were very in sync. After leaving the office, Jiang Yichen seemed to have forgotten that I was there.

I knew very well that I couldn't help, so I stayed in the office. Watching the red line on my computer desktop rise rapidly, I quietly sent a few messages to my dad, asking if this phenomenon was dangerous.

My dad hadn't rested yet. Seeing my message, he quickly replied: "[If handled improperly, there's a risk of bankruptcy.]"

[I think this should be Jiang Group stock. Has Jiang Yichen offended someone recently?]

I pouted. Even my dad could see that Jiang Yichen was in a bad situation, but I didn't understand anything about it.

I had an indescribable feeling in my heart. I quietly came to the door of the conference room and saw Jiang Yichen standing in the main seat through the glass. He looked stern and gave orders in a firm tone.

I stood aside, quietly watching Jiang Yichen concentrate on his work. Every movement and every decision he made revealed unprecedented decisiveness and composure.

I couldn't help but marvel at how completely he had changed compared to the past.

Looking at Lin Nan, his cooperation with Jiang Yichen was perfect, and he assisted with ease, as if everything was under his control.

But I could only sit there helplessly, filled with self-doubt and frustration.

I know I am powerless in this crisis and can only watch them work, and this sense of powerlessness is agonizing.

I wanted to suggest leaving first several times, but seeing everyone so busy, I felt embarrassed to leave alone.

So I could only sit there silently and watch them.

Finally, after two hours of intense effort, I saw Jiang Yichen put down his headset and slump into his chair. The next second, thunderous applause erupted in the conference room, and I knew the crisis was over.

Lin Nan and the other team members breathed a sigh of relief, and long-lost smiles appeared on their faces.

"Everyone has worked hard today. I will give everyone a bonus this month as a reward." Lin Nan clapped his hands to signal everyone to stop and said loudly.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin. Thank you, Mr. Jiang."

Everyone shouted in unison.

Lin Nan checked the time and suggested with a smile, "Let's all go out for a late-night snack to celebrate, it's on me."

"Mr. Lin, may I order whatever I like?"

"Can,"

"I want to eat seafood."

"President Lin, President Jiang, why don't you come along too?"

……

Everyone responded enthusiastically, extending a warm invitation to Jiang Yichen and Lin Nan to go together.

Lin Nan readily agreed and turned to Jiang Yichen to ask for his opinion.

Jiang Yichen pursed his lips, about to refuse, when Lin Nan said in a low voice, "After all, you were the one who turned the tide and solved the crisis, don't be so out of touch with reality."

Finally, Jiang Yichen nodded.

Seeing this, I took the opportunity to suggest leaving first. I stepped forward and whispered, "I'm a little tired, can I..."

"You didn't eat dinner either, let's go grab something to eat together!"

Jiang Yichen's unquestionable tone left me no choice but to follow him like a submissive wife.

The group went to the restaurant together, sat around the table, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

After a few drinks, everyone's spirits rose higher and higher, and they began to cheer and make merry, with laughter and cheers mixed with best wishes for Jiang Yichen and Lin Nan.

"President Jiang, Manager Lin, when are you two going to have your wedding banquet? We're all waiting!" a colleague said first, his words tinged with a mix of teasing and anticipation.

“Yes, you two work together so well, you’re a match made in heaven! Hurry up and get this done!” another colleague chimed in, a genuine smile on his face.

Everyone chimed in, expressing their blessings and expectations for Jiang Yichen and Lin Nan.

In their eyes, Jiang Yichen and Lin Nan are not only good partners at work, but also a couple worthy of blessings in life.

I felt a little uncomfortable. I said I wouldn't come, but they insisted on making me come just to humiliate me.

I glanced at Jiang Yichen furtively and poked the food in my bowl hard with my chopsticks.

Faced with the crowd's jeers, Jiang Yichen and Lin Nan simply smiled and remained silent.

Faced with the crowd's jeers, Jiang Yichen simply smiled and did not respond directly.

At this moment, Lin Nan changed the subject. She looked at the team members and said in a serious tone, "Haven't you all seen how many things have happened in the company recently? Our first priority is to ensure the stability and development of the company. Only after everything has settled down can we consider our personal matters."

One of the colleagues remarked with a sigh, "Yes, Jiang's company has been getting into trouble lately, as if it's being deliberately targeted."

"With one incident after another, it's likely that someone deliberately set a trap."

"Stop making wild guesses. Everyone should focus on their work during this time. Leave the rest to me."

Lin Nan interrupted everyone's speech at the right moment and glanced at Jiang Yichen.

Jiang Yichen picked up his phone and walked to the side to answer the call.

I felt a little awkward sitting there alone, so I made an excuse to go to the bathroom.

As I passed by the door, I heard a few people whispering about me.

"Isn't Gu Mo President Jiang's ex-wife? Why is she here too?"

"Didn't you see that when we were giving our blessings to President Jiang and President Lin just now, neither of them said a word? I think this matter is probably doomed."

"Did we offend someone just now?"

"I think that pretty face is not good enough for President Jiang. Look at President Lin, she has high work ability, emotional intelligence and IQ. The two of them are a perfect match!"

……

Listening to their discussion, I quickened my pace, increasingly eager to leave this place.

After I finished using the restroom and was about to leave, I turned around and saw Lin Nan standing at the door. I was stunned for a moment.

I frowned slightly, thinking of what she had said to me the previous times. Before she could speak, I preemptively said, "I know what you want to say. It's nothing more than that Jiang Yichen and I are not on the same path, and that I will only harm him. If that's still the case, you'd better not say anything."
