Chapter 1225 No Room for Maneuver
Liang Chen then thought of calling Jiang Manman. When Jiang Manman saw his name, she frowned and hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to answer.
She has already seen the news about the collapse, and financial news is currently reporting on it. Of course, she is also paying attention to the projects she has been involved with.
She had warned Liang Chen before that the company was no good, but Liang Chen wouldn't listen and thought she was only saying it for the sake of the Huo family.
So now, she's not surprised at all to see this news, but she didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
So Liang Chen's call must be related to this matter. Jiang Manman thought about it and decided not to answer.
No matter what Liang Chen wants to say, it's all in the past. They signed the contract and made the payment; there's no going back.
She said everything she should and shouldn't have said to Liang Chen, and even had her father remind Liang Chen's father. It was Liang Chen's own fault for not listening, so he can't blame anyone else.
Now, if she calls him, whether it's blaming her for not stopping him, asking for her help, or apologizing, Jiang Manman doesn't want to hear it.
Jiang Manman simply left her phone there and went to wash up until the call automatically ended.
When she came out, her phone had several missed calls, all from Liang Chen.
Her father even knocked on her bedroom door: "Manman."
Jiang Manman opened the door: "What's wrong, Dad?"
“Um… Lao Liang called me and said that one of their projects has run into problems. It’s the one you asked me to warn him about before. He said that it looked like such a good project, but he never expected it to be a trap. Now he’s fallen into the trap and asked if we can help him.”
Jiang Manman shook her head: "Dad, there's no way. Don't get involved in this. They're destined not to get their money back, and they might even blame others. It's a thankless task. Although we've known Uncle Liang for so many years, we've already done more than enough by reminding him so many times before."
“Dad knows, then I won’t get involved in this matter. My daughter did the right thing. We’re just neighbors. Although we have some cooperation, he treated my daughter so badly last time, and I’m still angry. Let’s not interfere!” Jiang’s father was definitely on Jiang Manman’s side.
The Huo Group.
The president's office was still brightly lit. Huo Yanchen watched as the other company's stock price plummeted, as everything online escalated, and as the Liang Group seemed at a loss.
Liang's is not listed yet; it's just one step away from going public.
Originally, the plan was to complete this project successfully and then go public, but unexpectedly, we've stumbled into such a huge pitfall. It's uncertain whether the company can even survive, let alone go public.
He watched quietly; tonight was destined to be a sleepless night for many.
He wasn't really targeting anyone; he was just making things happen sooner rather than later.
However, hearing that the Liang family was still celebrating, Huo Yanchen, who was not happy before, was in a much better mood now that the celebration had come to an abrupt end.
Someone like that dares to covet Jiang Manman? Doesn't he even know his own worth?
Jiang Manman is far superior to him. Although that woman is simple-minded and straightforward, Jiang Manman knows that this project has problems and cannot be done. That man was so easily fooled by a few words of nonsense from others that he lost his way. He didn't even think that if such a good thing really existed, would it be his turn?
And then there's Luo Jing. Ever since she joined his company, she's had an ambiguous relationship with him. How could Huo Yanchen not know about their scandals? On one hand, she says she likes Jiang Manman, and on the other hand, she's having relationships with other women. What right does she have to talk about liking someone?
The secretary knocked and entered: "Mr. Huo, everything has been done as you instructed."
"Yes, the bonus will be doubled at the end of the month."
……
Liang Chen couldn't think of a good solution at all, and was now stuck in the club, feeling extremely frustrated.
He grabbed Luo Jing by the neck and yelled, "It was you! You were the one who told me there was absolutely no problem with this project, you were the one who made me do it!"
Luo Jing didn't expect the problem to arise so quickly, nor did she anticipate it would become such a big problem.
She naturally didn't want to see the Liang family suffer any losses, because she was now one of the Liang family's people.
But at this moment, Liang Chen was choking her, and looking at Liang Chen's red eyes, his young face was twisted, as if he really wanted to strangle her to death.
Luo Jing spoke with difficulty: "This project was originally fine. The Huo family wanted to snatch it up. You've seen it yourself. The later profits are indeed very high. I introduced this project to you because I was doing it for the good of the Liang Group."
"I... I didn't know this would happen. It must have been Jiang Manman's doing, or Huo Yanchen's doing. They must have tampered with things. Xiao Chen, you have to believe me!"
“We need to pull ourselves together now. We absolutely cannot let Jiang Manman and Huo Yanchen laugh at us. First and foremost, we must avoid internal strife. But it's not entirely hopeless. You go find Jiang Manman, and I'll go find Chen Chong for you. We'll definitely get an explanation!”
Liang Chen then released his grip, but his expression still looked ruthless.
This amount of money represents a large portion of the company's assets, not just a small amount, which is why these shareholders are so fixated on him.
Liang Chen asked his father to appease the shareholders, assuring them that they wouldn't run away and would give him an explanation. Then he went to find Jiang Manman himself.
He called Jiang Manman so many times but she didn't answer. Is she laughing at him now?
Jiang Manman will definitely have a way!
After much persuasion from Liang's father, they finally got Liang Chen to leave.
It's already past midnight, and Liang Chen never expected his celebration banquet to turn out like this. The pressure from the shareholders is too much for him to handle.
He didn't think he was wrong; he believed the other party had lied to him and he was also a victim, so why was everyone targeting him?
Liang Chen arrived at Jiang Manman's house late at night, but the Jiang family was already asleep.
Liang Chen banged on the door and called out, "Jiang Manman, come out! Come out!"
The maids, who had also gone to rest, rushed to open the door upon hearing the noise. Jiang's parents were also awakened. Jiang's father looked at Liang Chen, who had an angry expression, and anyone who didn't know better would have thought he was there to cause trouble.
"Xiao Chen, is something wrong so late?" Jiang's father asked.
Liang Chen said, "Where's Jiang Manman? Tell her to come down. I have something to ask her!"
"Manman is already resting, can't we talk about this tomorrow?"
"No! I need to find out right now. If you won't let her come down, I'll just go up there myself." With that, Liang Chen prepared to go up.
Jiang's father was already displeased by the way the boy was barging in so recklessly and without any manners.
The polite boy from before has somehow become so unreasonable, even barging into his daughter's room in the middle of the night, something he, as her father, wouldn't normally do.
