"Boss Lin, the situation isn't right. I've called the presidents of five banks. It's not that none of them are picking up, but they're using all sorts of perfunctory excuses. They're not willing to fork out any money at all, even though we've never had any credit problems," Wu Yue said on the phone with a hint of anger.
Lin Ruoxi stroked her hair. Her voice was emotionless, and no one could tell how she was feeling. "Got it. Continue to call the other banks that we're working with. At the same time, withdraw some funds from the major funds of our company. "
"Yes, General Lin."
Wu Yue was about to hang up when Lin Ruoxi suddenly asked, "Has Muyun Group in Hong Kong received any news?"
"I just sent a message half an hour ago. Actually, Muyun Group will definitely notice that something's wrong. Many people have started to pay attention to the American stock market because of Yu Lei. I think Muyun Group will also ask us about it. Vice President Li Minghe is already discussing with President Li Muhua of Muyun Group. They should give us an answer soon. "
"Got it. Muyun Group also has a share of the new material in the market. Li Muhua can't just sit back and do nothing. Ask Vice President Li to contact me directly after he's done with the discussion. "
At this moment, the car slowly drove into the secluded resort where the Athena Team was located. Just like the last time, there was no one in the resort. It looked like an entertainment venue that was about to close down. Only those in the know knew that everything here was for Yu Lei.
After getting out of the car, Lin Ruoxi asked the person in charge of the accommodation department to bring Hui Lin and Anxin to rest.
"It's getting late. Go to the guest room and rest first. I'll get someone to send you home tomorrow morning," Lin Ruoxi said to the two girls.
Hui Lin shook her head and pleaded, "Sister, can you let me go with you? I want to be by your side."
"Silly girl, this isn't something you should be concerned about. What you need to do now is to take care of your own safety. Go home tomorrow morning … I know you're good at martial arts. Mom and Mother Wang will need you," Lin Ruoxi advised calmly.
Huilin was still a little hesitant, but An Xin pulled her aside and gave her a persuasive look. "Huilin, your sister is right. You won't be able to help in the business world. I didn't know that you're so good at martial arts until today. Just stay with me. I'm still scared."
Hui Lin pouted. Although she knew that Anxin was pretending to be scared, she knew that she couldn't help Lin Ruoxi with business. She nodded and said, "Then I'll go home tomorrow morning. Sister, don't worry. I'll take good care of the house."
"Okay, I'll get someone to send you back." Lin Ruoxi looked at Anxin and sighed. "Miss An, I didn't expect things to turn out like this. No matter what happened between us, I hope you won't get hurt because of me. If you want, you can call the An family's bodyguards to protect you and escort you back. This isn't a secret place. "
Anxin smiled and shook her head. "There's no need for that. They're targeting Yu Lei, not the An family. I'm just a fish in the pond. I'll go back to Zhonghai City in the morning. "
Lin Ruoxi didn't say much. She looked at Yang Cheng and gave him a questioning look.
Yang Cheng spread out his hands and said with a weird smile, "Don't tell me you're going to send your husband away. I'll spank you if you do."
"I don't have time to joke now." Lin Ruoxi said coldly.
"I'm not joking." Yang Cheng said innocently.
Lin Ruoxi opened her mouth and wanted to say something. But she swallowed her words and turned around. She walked straight to the office building where the Athena Team was located. "Do whatever you want."
Yang Chen felt rather helpless towards this independent woman. Why doesn't she know how to act coquettishly and say something like 'Hubby, I'm so scared'? If she says that, I'll directly soften my thighs and harden my 'calf'. Even if I have to use a missile, I'll help you blow up the troublemaker.
Turning around, Yang Cheng smiled at Hui Lin and Anxin. "Don't look so serious. I'm here. Anxin baby, I think you should listen to Ruoxi. Ask your dad to send some bodyguards to escort you back, just in case. "
Anxin looked at Lin Ruoxi's slender figure as she walked away. She smiled and said, "'Athena Team'. Is that a special team Lin Ruoxi formed? I've never heard of such an organization in Yu Lei. I really want to take a look. But it seems to be well-guarded. "
Yang Cheng reached out and pinched her delicate face. "Don't think too much. They're not your enemies. What's the point of analyzing them like this?"
"Who said they're not …" Anxin stuck out her tongue and glanced at Yang Cheng bitterly. "You're so stingy. Can't you even guess your wife's secret? Alright, I'll leave in the morning. With you around, I don't think anything will happen."
"Good that you know." Yang Cheng said. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth. Then, he turned around and followed Lin Ruoxi.
Having been to the base of Athena Team once, Yang Cheng remembered the way. After a few turns, he stepped into the studio guarded by bodyguards.
It seemed that Lin Ruoxi had told Yang Cheng not to be stopped.
Entering the dazzling computer screens and the buzzing sounds of computers, the seven or eight young elites from all over the world were frantically typing on the keyboard with their hands.
Because of the urgency of the meeting, two foreign girls were even wearing silk pajamas. Fortunately, the heater in the studio matched the heat generated by the machines. It was very warm, so they wouldn't catch a cold.
"Damn it, we've met our match." A bespectacled man with an Irish accent propped up his glasses and said to Lin Ruoxi, who was watching the stock market on a high platform, "Boss, the situation isn't looking good. Not only are they experienced, their operation is also impeccable. Their speed is almost on par with ours."
"I didn't hire you to talk nonsense," Lin Ruoxi said without turning her head.
The Irish guy made a face but continued to work happily. Obviously, they were familiar with Lin Ruoxi's temperament and were very confident in their own strength.
Lin Ruoxi watched the fluctuating stock market for a while. Suddenly, she smelled a thick smell of smoke in her mouth and nose. She couldn't help but frown and turn around. Only then did she realize that Yang Cheng was sitting on a swivel chair. Both his legs were placed on the railing and he was leisurely smoking his poor-quality, pungent tobacco.
"Who allowed you to smoke here?" Lin Ruoxi wasn't in a good mood to begin with. Now that she saw Yang Cheng wasn't nervous at all and was smoking in the workplace, how could she not be angry?
Yang Cheng was staring at the big red and green numbers in front of him in a daze. Only when Lin Ruoxi shouted at him did he realize that he had unknowingly lit up his cigarette. He smiled embarrassedly and pinched the cigarette butt before putting it into his pocket. He didn't care that the ash would dirty his pocket. He said, "I'm sorry, sweetheart. I didn't do it on purpose. I just wanted to put it in my mouth to satisfy my craving."
Lin Ruoxi suppressed her anger and took a deep breath before saying earnestly, "My mind is in a mess right now. If you want to stay by my side, please don't be so careless. At least don't make me feel like you're watching a show."
"I'm not watching a show." Yang Cheng pointed to the constantly floating graph on the big screen and said, "I'm looking at the current situation of the battle."
Lin Ruoxi felt a little better and casually asked, "Then what do you think of the current situation?"
"I don't know." Yang Cheng said.
"Aren't you watching?" Lin Ruoxi frowned and asked.
Yang Cheng spread out his hands and said, "I'm watching, but I don't understand."
"You …"
Lin Ruoxi couldn't wait to charge forward and bite this rascal a few times, causing him to lose a few pieces of flesh. However, the bigger picture was more important, so she couldn't be bothered to bicker with Yang Chen. Fortunately, she was already used to this man's nonsensical way of thinking. Lin Ruoxi silently muttered 'I'll endure, I'll endure', and turned her head away to ignore Yang Chen.
At this moment, Yang Cheng stood up and walked behind Lin Ruoxi with a smile. One of his hands carelessly grabbed onto Lin Ruoxi's slender waist.
Lin Ruoxi felt the skin on her waist being covered by a layer of heat. Her delicate body couldn't help but tremble. She turned her head and saw Yang Cheng looking at her with a strange expression.
In the current workshop, although the Athena Team wouldn't notice them, Lin Ruoxi's heart instantly jumped to her throat. She blushed and struggled with all her might. She whispered, "Let go of me. Why are you suddenly like this …"
Yang Cheng breathed hot air into the woman's ear and said, "Seeing that you're so nervous, I want to let you relax."
"I already said, I don't have time to joke with you." Lin Ruoxi's bright eyes were a little angry. She was currently racking her brains to solve the problem that Yu Lei was suddenly facing. But this man actually played this kind of trick. How was he trying to let her relax? He was basically making her angry.
"Anger can't solve the problem. You should know this better than anyone." Yang Cheng smiled proudly.
"Do you think messing around with you can solve the problem?" Lin Ruoxi stared at Yang Cheng and asked.
Yang Cheng said with a complicated expression. As if thinking for a long time, he said with difficulty, "Madam Lin Ruoxi, right now, I'm just a man named Yang Cheng. I'm not your husband, not your employee, and definitely not your family. How about I make a deal with you?"
