Chapter 25
Zhao Yuan'er heard the familiar voice and immediately perked up, walking quickly toward Yan Qinhua, her face full of surprise. "Qinhua, why didn't you tell me when you came to Huacheng?"
"I spent a lot of effort to convince my brother to bring me here, I didn't expect you to be here too." Yan Qinhua's big eyes twinkled with laughter.
Zhao Yuan'er held Yan Qinhua's hand and excitedly led her toward Lin Yu, "Qinhua, this is the fiancé Lin Yu I've been telling you about."
As college friends, Zhao Yuan'er often mentioned Lin Yu, and Yan Qinhua was very curious about this person. And now, finally, there was a chance to see him in person.
Beside them, Zhang Yuru and Qin Yan observed all this silently, and Huang Qingyu was also watching with interest on the side. He asked Yan Yaochen with a laugh: "Brother, do you know about Zhao Yuan'er's engagement?"
Yan Yaochen shook his head and smiled: "Brother Yu, I just heard about this too."
To ease the atmosphere, Feng Yuanyuan intervened: "These things have nothing to do with us. Today's main purpose is to discuss financing matters, everyone please come in."
This time, Zhang Yuru specially invited representatives from multiple domestic investment banks interested in the Zhang Group's projects, uniquely excluding the Ma family's Shengtian Financial Group, to show that without the Ma family's support, the Zhang Group could also flourish.
Everyone stopped talking about Lin Yu, and those who had previously taken photos to ask headquarters also hurriedly sent messages to clarify the misunderstanding.
After all, they found it hard to believe that a big family like the Zhao family would allow a direct family member to be engaged to a nobody.
Soon, everyone headed to the banquet hall, including Lin Yu, Zhao Yuan'er, and her father Zhao Baizhang, who entered a private room together.
In the banquet hall, Huang Qingyu found Yan Yaochen and continued to discuss the topic of Zhao Yuan'er's engagement.
"I saw that marriage certificate on her phone, this matter seems to be true."
Yan Yaochen responded: "Qinhua told me earlier, I believe she is sincere. It is said that Mr. Lin has extraordinary medical skills."
Hearing this, Huang Qingyu's heart shook, almost saying a name. But he controlled himself and guessed even more excitedly: "Surname Lin, and skilled in medical arts, could he be the one from the Xuantian Pavilion..."
Yan Yaochen nodded seriously and warned in a low voice: "This name cannot be mentioned casually."
Huang Qingyu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and sighed: "So the Zhao family's layout is so profound."
Yan Yaochen nodded in agreement and said: "I'd better call home to ask about the situation. After all, the reason we came to Huacheng to investigate the Zhang Group was because of Zhang Zong's husband, Lin Yu."
Huang Qingyu also felt this was a wise choice, "Indeed, we should understand the family's opinion first."
The two each found a quiet place and dialed home respectively.
"Dad, I have something to ask you..." Yan Yaochen reported to his father about the news of Zhang Yuru's divorce.
The other end of the phone was silent for a while, then a firm voice came: "Yaochen, come back. We are not participating in the Zhang Group's financing."
Yan Yaochen had expected such a result, but his father added: "After all, Lin Yu once saved my life, we cannot be ungrateful."
Mentioning Lin Yu, a sense of respect surged in Yan Yaochen's heart.
The Xuantian Pavilion that rose ten years ago was like a myth in his eyes, and Lin Yu was exactly a part of this legend.
Therefore, he promised his father: "I will set off home immediately."
"By the way, before you go back, go see your aunt from the Long family; Qinhua has reached the age to consider marriage." His father's words made Yan Yaochen understand the importance of family marriage.
At the same time, Huang Qingyu had already finished the call and found Yan Yaochen, asking urgently: "What did they say on your side?"
Yan Yaochen told the truth: "My dad told me to withdraw and go home immediately."
Now it was Huang Qingyu's turn to be surprised, because his family had the same decision, and even wanted to terminate the cooperation with the Zhang Group. "It seems there are quite a few stories hidden behind this financing!"
Thinking of this, Huang Qingyu's interest in Lin Yu increased greatly, wanting to understand his status in the Xuantian Pavilion. So he said to Yan Yaochen: "Let's go, go and explain the situation to Zhang Zong."
The two walked into the banquet hall and saw Zhang Yuru busy.
Huang Qingyu walked up to her and said solemnly: "Zhang Zong, the board of directors of the Qingzhou Investment Bank has decided to withdraw from this financing. I am deeply sorry for this, and hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future."
For a time, the entire hall seemed to freeze, and Zhang Yuru was stunned, clearly not expecting such a turn.
The Qingzhou Investment Bank was one of the best financial institutions in the country, while the Zhang Group was a "unicorn" enterprise that had risen rapidly in recent years.
However, what confused other investment bank representatives was that the Qingzhou Investment Bank suddenly announced it would withdraw from the cooperation with the Zhang Group.
Zhang Yuru present immediately realized that the situation was not good and wanted to keep them: "Young Master Huang came from afar, at least participate in the banquet before leaving."
But Huang Qingyu seemed to have made up his mind and turned to leave after a simple response.
Zhang Yuru wanted to chase after him, but was surrounded by other investment bank people and could not get away.
Not long after, Yan Yaochen came to say goodbye with his sister: "Zhang Zong, our Longcheng Investment Bank has decided to withdraw from this financing, and hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future."
Hearing this, Zhang Yuru felt a sense of unease.
She immediately thought that Lin Yu might have leaked the news of the Zhang Group's financing to the Ma family, and now the Ma family was taking action.
This thought made her feel angry and worried, fearing that this would destroy the entire financing plan.
To prevent accidents, Zhang Yuru made a prompt decision to sign the financing agreement at the banquet immediately.
She called Feng Yuanyuan and arranged for other senior executives to deal with the investment bank representatives.
The two quickly adjusted the contract terms and increased the proportion of shares to be sold.
Facing Feng Yuanyuan's confusion, Zhang Yuru explained that both the Qingzhou and Longcheng investment banks had already withdrawn.
Feng Yuanyuan also believed that Lin Yu had leaked the news to the Ma family and was furious, wanting to go and reason with Lin Yu.
But Zhang Yuru stopped her, emphasizing that the most important thing currently was to complete the financing, and the rest could wait until later.
At the same time, Huang Qingyu and Yan Yaochen drove around and returned to the hotel, quietly heading to the room where Lin Yu was.
They had just received some shocking news from home, especially Huang Qingyu, who had learned a more astonishing secret from Yan Yaochen.
In a private room at the hotel, Zhao Baizhang was drinking and celebrating with Lin Yu, while Zhao Yuan'er appeared exceptionally excited.
"I am so happy, Brother Lin Yu can finally marry me." She said, drinking a whole bottle of beer.
At this time, her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were blurry, clearly already drunk.
Lin Yu looked at Zhao Yuan'er and fell into deep thought. Not because of her beauty, but because she reminded him of his sister, Lin Xue.
Especially her eyes overflowing with smiles and her flushed cheeks at this moment, all of this made waves in Lin Yu's heart.
