The stock price of Ji’s Enterprise kept falling. By March, the enterprise had lost as much as 8 billion yuan. Half of April had just passed when Ji’s Enterprise was at the verge of collapsing.
Staff at Ji’s Enterprise started to resign one after another. Many of them left because the enterprise was too poor to pay them a salary anymore.
Ji Minjue felt that he had taken over a hot seat.
He started to lose weight and lost 30 kilos in a couple of months.
Previously, Ji Minjue would have been very glad if he managed to lose even half a kilo. But after losing so much weight now, Ji Minjue felt no happiness at all.
The capital of the enterprise shrank as tremendously as his body shape.
If the situation continued to go on in this way, Ji’s Enterprise would only last for at most two more months before announcing bankruptcy!
Ji Family contacted everyone who had received benefits from them earlier. They also managed to sell some old properties to gain enough capital to leap over this pit.
What was more, The Ji Family had waved white flag towards the Jing Family, hoping to gain some respite from them.
However, Jing Yichen was definitely not going to give Ji Family a helping hand. It was already nice of him not to give them a kick on their backs.
Ji Bo knew that asking Jing Yichen for help was not going to work, unless he was willing to return the shares of Jingsheng Enterprise.
However, there was someone else who might be of some help.
Ji Bo drove back to his own villa.
In the villa, Yang Muyan was busy painting her eyebrows in front of the mirror, as usual.
It seemed that she had nothing to do with the bankruptcy of the Ji Family.
Ji Bo pressed down the anger in his heart, came to her side and said in a straightforward manner. “Ji Family needs your help.”
Yang Muyan threw a calm look at him, put down the eyebrow pen in her hand and sneered. “Now you thought of me? Isn’t it true that everyone in your family wants me dead? Your lovely cousin, for example, comes to make a scene every now and then, saying that she wants to kill me. What an actress!”
Ji Bo looked cold, but gradually, he made himself look gentle as he said in a soft voice, “My cousin is very young, and has been spoiled by my aunt. Don’t be mad at her. Also, you hit her back, cut her throat because of which she almost died. Both of you should take the responsibility. Do not mix the two matters.”
“Ji Family is also your shelter. Without this, you couldn’t have avoided being killed by the Jing Family. Jing Yichen has eyes out for you and collaborating is the only way forward for both of us. You can invest in and get the shares of Ji Family.”
Yang Muyan had never planned to leave Ji Family, and what Ji Bo had said was all true. Only they were able to offer her the shelter, being a deeply-rooted family in A City and possessing strength throughout the country. Ji Family’s power could not be easily ignored, otherwise Jing Yichen would not have spent so much effort in bringing them down.
As a matter of fact, Jing Yichen had not bothered with Ji’s Enterprise’s downfall yet. All the conflicts of Ji Family were just in-fights.
Although it had been Jing Yichen who had caused the in-fight, it had been done in such a smart way that no one was able to find any evidence. Everyone would think that it had been the consequence of the in-fight of the Ji Family rather than a scheme by the Jing Family.
Yang Muyan did not expect that the Ji Family would fall so soon, but she was not offering any help either.
She did not care much about shares of Ji’s Enterprise.
“I can consider investing.”
Yang Muyan said nonchalantly, reached out for a blusher and dabbed it on her cheeks. Soon, her appearance looked rosy.
Yang Muyan got quite satisfied when she saw the exquisite oval-shaped reflection in the mirror.
She had gotten obsessed by her looks. A touch of disgust flashed across his eyes when he saw her narcissism.
But he still replied in a calm voice. “What do you want me to do for you to invest in? I can do anything as long as you are willing to invest.”
Yang Muyan looked up and then at Ji Bo, “Oh? What about taking Ji Lili’s life, then?”
Ji Bo frowned, looking displeased.
Ji Lili was as annoying as Yang Muyan, yet she was his cousin, the daughter of his aunt after all. She was extremely irritating, but Ji Bo would not want her dead.
Yang Muyan sneered when she saw Ji Bo frowning. “You do not want that to happen? Well, that is understandable. Ji Lili is a pretty woman. But I hate pretty women the most in my life and I would be glad if all of them died. Do you want me to kill her or do you prefer to do it yourself?”
Ji Bo was aware of Yang Muyan’s cruelty, so he was not easily affected by her vicious words these days.
He did not stay silent for too long, though. So he rejected it, firmly.” That is not possible! Ji Lili must not die, otherwise I can’t get through my aunt and my grandma. My auntie had a heart attack last time and got hospitalized. And my grandma was in a coma for many days.”
If they knew that Ji Lili was killed, they would definitely take revenge and care nothing about investment.
“Oh, so Ji Lili must not die, then who? I am going to invest hundreds of millions and I should be able to get one life in return, no?”
Yang Muyan uncapped a rosy lip gloss and started to paint her lips, facing the mirror.
In a few minutes, she looked even more dazzling. Yang Muyan stared at herself in the mirror with fascination and a long while later, she turned to look at Ji Bo and said, “What about Shangguan Ning? Her death would be a wonderful deal, come to think of it. In this way, Jing Yichen can be struck down and we will definitely win.”
This time, Ji Bo turned her down even faster than the previous time. He sounded determined. “Impossible! Are you even a human? She is a pregnant woman. And her baby is innocent. Are you so vicious that you want to kill an unborn child?”
