Chapter 20: Half an Hour to Get It Done

"It's fine, you only need to wait on the side for 30 minutes." Chen Yu smiled slightly: "Leave the rest to me."

"Leave it to you? What can you do? Do you know the boss of Yibo Group? I don't want to lose this job, because I've worked hard for a long time and sacrificed a lot. I'm currently competing with Li Li for the position of Business Department Manager, and you're making me lose directly like this." Ye Xinyu couldn't help but burst into tears.

"This... don't be anxious, it's my fault, I shouldn't have agreed so quickly, but that Wang was too much of a jerk, I couldn't help it. Don't worry, give me half an hour, I'll get it done for you." Seeing that she was truly crying, Chen Yu hurriedly comforted her.

Ye Xinyu wiped away her tears and turned to walk into the conference room. Half an hour, what could she do? She could only resign herself to fate.

"Shi Hu, is Yibo Group a company under your Lin family?" Chen Yu called Lin Wenfu's personal bodyguard, Shi Hu, directly.

"Yes, is there a problem, Lin Xiansheng?" Shi Hu asked.

"Half an hour, I need the person in charge over there to bring the Contract to Jiyun to find my wife, Ye Xinyu. They have a project that my wife was negotiating." Chen Yu said.

"No problem, Chen Xiansheng, I will definitely be there in half an hour." Shi Hu hung up the phone.

"Haha, Ye Xinyu, I'm really curious about what your husband is trying to do. Negotiating a partnership in half an hour? He's basically handing us a free kill." Inside the conference room, Li Li and Wang Qi saw Ye Xinyu enter and laughed even harder.

"How about this, you just admit defeat. I won't make you scrub the toilets either; you can just be demoted to the Business Department to train the newcomers. I'm doing this to take care of you." Wang Qi suppressed his laughter and said.

"Sorry, the half hour hasn't passed yet. If the time is up, I will accept the loss as promised." Ye Xinyu said coldly.

"What can you do even if I give you three hours? You'll still lose. Ye Xinyu, I might as well tell you, sometimes if a woman wants to compete, she has to have some methods." Li Li sneered: "Competing with me for the manager position? Do you have the qualifications?"

"Right, a woman like you who jumps into other people's beds at the drop of a hat is someone most people really can't compete with. But my wife has great ability; even if you use your methods, it won't work." Chen Yu pushed the door open and entered.

"Chen Yu, shut your mouth. What qualifications does a gambler like you have to spout nonsense here? Do you believe I'll tear your mouth apart?" Li Li said angrily.

"If my wife secures the order, then is the manager position hers?" Chen Yu asked.

"Secure it first before you talk." Wang Qi sneered.

"If your wife can secure the order, I'll strip naked and run a lap around the company." Li Li said disdainfully. She didn't believe at all that Ye Xinyu could secure the Yibo order.

"Manager Wang, Director Liang from Yibo is here, saying they want to cooperate with us on the West City project." As soon as Li Li finished speaking, Wang Qi's assistant hurriedly pushed the door open and entered.

"What?" Wang Qi and Li Li asked in astonishment.

"Secretary Zhang, who is by Director Liang's side, has come in person. She is currently in the lobby." The assistant said.

"Quick, invite her in." Wang Qi hurriedly stood up. Yibo is a listed company with deep pockets. Their Jiyun has tried to hitch a ride with Yibo several times, but they couldn't even see one of their people in charge.

This time, they hadn't held any hope for the project, but he never expected that Secretary Zhang would come in person.

"May I ask which one is Ms. Ye Xinyu?" A capable-looking woman walked over, holding a Contract in her hand. She was indeed Secretary Zhang from Yibo.

"I am. You must be Ms. Zhang, hello." Ye Xinyu didn't have time to be shocked; she hurriedly organized her thoughts: "Ms. Zhang, I will send the proposal I prepared to you immediately. Although Jiyun is not large in scale, we can do our work to the extreme. Please, you must consider us."

"No need. This is the project Contract. The funding has been increased to 50 million, and the funds have already been transferred to your Jiyun account. Take a look at the Contract; if there are no problems, sign it, or your Jiyun can draft a new one." Secretary Zhang smiled slightly.

Wang Qi and Li Li were shocked. Had Yibo gone crazy? Doubling the planned funding, and without needing to advance the construction costs, and the initiative could even be kept in their own hands?

"Secretary Zhang, this is Ms. Li Li from our company. She has plenty of experience and her planned proposal is even better. This project will be followed up by her in the future." Wang Qi reacted extremely quickly; he hurriedly pushed Li Li forward.

"Sorry, I can only talk to Ms. Ye. If you change people, we will withdraw the funds." Secretary Zhang frowned.

"This, why is that?" Li Li was stunned.

"I have no obligation to explain that to you." Secretary Zhang glanced at Li Li.

Li Li immediately wilted. After all, the other party was the head secretary of a listed company, representing the boss to a certain extent; there was indeed no need to explain to her.

"Let's go with the Contract as drafted by Yibo. Ms. Zhang, let's talk over here." Ye Xinyu quickly flipped through a few pages of the Contract. Based on her experience, the Contract was completely fine.

"Very well, Ms. Ye." Secretary Zhang smiled slightly, and the two walked to the side to talk.

Wang Qi and Li Li's expressions were extremely ugly. They never expected that there would be such a turn of events.

Especially Li Li, who was extremely unwilling, but she had no way to do anything because the other party had specifically named Ye Xinyu to talk to.

"Someone said just now that if the order was secured, she would run naked?" Chen Yu glanced at Li Li.

"Shut up." Li Li's face was flushed red. She had indeed said such words just now, but she wouldn't actually run naked.

"Heh, even if you really dared to run naked, I wouldn't be interested." Chen Yu sneered, turned around, and walked out.

"What did you say?" Li Li was stunned, almost exploding with anger, but Chen Yu had already pushed the door open and left.

"Husband, I have many details to discuss with Secretary Zhang. I have to work overtime tonight, you go back first." Ye Xinyu poked her head out and said to Chen Yu.

"You... why do you have to work overtime? Can't you talk about it tomorrow?" Chen Yu was taken aback.

"No, it's better to finalize it early to avoid any accidents. You go back first." Ye Xinyu smiled at Chen Yu and went back to continue the discussion.

Chen Yu was helpless and had to leave alone. As he walked out of the building, a person wearing courier clothes rushed out. He was walking too fast and bumped into Chen Yu.

"Ouch, sorry, really sorry." The other party lowered his head and apologized.

"It's fine. Huh, Yu Fan?" Chen Yu heard the voice and found it somewhat familiar. He looked up and saw that it was his classmate from the Medicine school.

A while back, Chen Yu had often borrowed money from him, and he had never asked for it back. Later, they lost contact. Chen Yu had always thought he was doing fine, but looking at his appearance, he seemed to be doing quite poorly.

"Chen Yu?" Yu Fan was startled. He hurriedly lowered his head, seemingly not wanting to see Chen Yu.

"Are you working?" Chen Yu looked at Yu Fan's attire.

"Yes, this is a part-time job." Yu Fan smiled awkwardly.

"Yu Fan, why couldn't I get through to your old phone number?" Chen Yu asked.

"Brother, I... I don't have any money to lend you anymore." Yu Fan sighed.

"This..." Chen Yu felt a bit awkward. When he was at his lowest, he had often borrowed money from Yu Fan. As long as he asked, Yu Fan would give it to him no matter how difficult things were for him. But looking at his current state, he must have encountered something.

"Chen Yu, I have to go. I still have a few deliveries to make." Yu Fan smiled and turned to leave.

"Yu Fan, you must have encountered something, right? Don't worry, I'm not here to borrow money. You helped me a lot when I was idling away my time before. If you have any difficulties, just tell me." Chen Yu called out to him.

"Thank you, Chen Yu. I... I'm really fine." Yu Fan shook his head.

Just at this moment, his phone rang. Yu Fan answered the call and only said two sentences before his expression changed drastically.

"Li Yuan, I will pay Xiao Juan's hospitalization fees immediately. Considering we were classmates, please help me find the hospital leaders and put in a good word for me." Yu Fan said urgently.

"Yu Fan, I'm just a nurse, I can't help you with anything. The leaders have spoken: the deposit must be paid 10,000 at a time, you can't keep paying a few hundred at a time."

A disdainful voice came from the receiver: "We are already clearing out your wife's things. Come and pick her up."

*Click*, a busy signal came from the receiver. Yu Fan stood up abruptly: "Chen Yu, I have to go to the hospital. My wife is hospitalized, and I don't have enough money."

"I'll drive you and go with you." Chen Yu stood up; he had heard the gist of it over the phone just now, guessing that the money wasn't enough and the hospital was kicking them out. The sick person was Yu Fan's wife, Liu Juan.

In the inpatient department of a certain hospital ward, a pale-faced woman sat half-upright in the corridor. Her complexion was somewhat sallow, and her daily necessities were messily tossed to one side.

*Clap! * The last piece of luggage was thrown out, and a nurse said haughtily, "Liu Juan, don't say I didn't help you two; I've already done my best."

"But the hospital has hospital regulations. Tell your husband to come back once he's scraped together enough money."

This nurse was Li Yuan, who had just made the phone call; she, Chen Yu, and Yu Fan were all classmates at the Medicine school.

"Juanjuan." Yu Fan rushed in, and he hurriedly helped Liu Juan sit to one side.

"Husband, let's go home. I won't get treated anymore." Liu Juan's tears fell.

"What silly things are you saying? You followed me, and now that you're sick, even if I have to sell my blood or my kidneys, I will cure you." Yu Fan's eyes were red-rimmed.
