Rebirth: The Ascent of a Socialite-Chapter 573 - 331: The Official Red-Header Document
Su Ziceng almost couldn’t keep hold of the notice for the loan extension. She looked at the endorsement, which allowed her to defer the debt repayment for two years, and was torn between wanting to cry and laugh, nearly scaring Sister Mu and the others witless.
Zhou Dagen was also muttering, "It’s not like it doesn’t have to be repaid, and the interest is the same as before. I really don’t know why the young boss is so happy." A notice of deferred repayment is, at best, a stay of execution.
To ordinary people, repaying over three hundred million is an impossible mission and everyone thinks so, but Su Ziceng remains optimistic. She now feels like a prisoner whose death sentence has been commuted to a suspended death sentence, and she believes that a suspended sentence can become life imprisonment, and eventually that can turn into a fixed-term sentence. After all, everything has to go through a process.
With two years’ time, she can split her attention in two: to the business of Espr, and the whereabouts of that over one billion in funds. If she can complete one of these tasks, she will have the chance to pay off the debt.
"Actually, you have a better choice," Hang Yishao hinted to her more than once, "You could marry me. The couple’s wealth is shared, and by then, even my dad won’t be able to stop it."
"That’s the worst choice," Su Ziceng hadn’t replied when Lin Ying answered for her. During her stay in Mo City, Hang Yishao, in the spirit of a "host’s duty," was frequently hosting and treating guests, always personally involved, quickly pulling Lin Ying into the camp supporting his union with Su Ziceng, to which Ziceng herself had no solution.
Hang Yishao also exerted some effort on Sister Mu, but this gloomy woman who came out of the Wen family always made Hang Yishao feel that his efforts were in vain. Moreover, Hang Yishao heard from Lin Ying that Sister Mu had arranged a meeting between Ziceng and Pello. Thus, for the time being, Hang Yishao classified Sister Mu as an ally of Pello’s side, coveting and fawning over Sister Mu in his heart.
"At least it’s a choice," Hang Yishao shamelessly said, "Two beautiful ladies, are you really sure you don’t need me to accompany you to the United States?"
Lin Ying was just not loyal enough to actually plan to take Su Ziceng to the United States just before Christmas.
"Manager Hang," Lin Ying replied sweetly, "You probably don’t have so much time to play the role of a flower guardian now, do you? As far as I know, even if Ziceng stayed in Mo City, you wouldn’t have the chance to spend Christmas just the two of you."
Hang Yishao promptly shut his mouth. This Christmas, had it not been for a mishap last time, when he got fully drunk competing in drinks with Lin Ying, he wouldn’t have lost the chance to spend Christmas with Su Ziceng to Lin Ying. The women around Su Ziceng are truly frightening. That always silent Wen Zimu, he had never seen her drink water, always seen her holding a bottle of alcohol.
And as for Lin Ying, the woman rumored to have drunk a whole bottle of Whiskey during a fashion show and walked out with the unique "drunken cat walk," she was not to be underestimated.
"What are you all talking about?" Su Ziceng finally finished packing her luggage. Unlike any other trip before, this time Su Ziceng was going to the United States with a lot of luggage. Of course, this did not mean that she had a lot of personal luggage, but because she also carried a large box of new clothes made by Sister Mu, intending to show them to Master Puwangda and the supervisor of Espr for review.
According to Sister Mu, Master Puwangda is a nearly octogenarian mad old man, while Espr’s supervisor is a man in his thirties. This combination, with half a century of age difference, is no wonder they were eliminated from the market. Sister Mu believes that the biggest obstacle for Su Ziceng on this trip is Master Puwangda, but Lin Ying doesn’t think so. She thinks that the biggest challenge for Su Ziceng and herself on this trip will be the overly enthusiastic supervisor of Espr.
"I’ve never met someone like that," Lin Ying said as she got on the plane, recounting the scene of her meeting with Espr’s supervisor to Su Ziceng once again.
"You’ve said that at least three or four times in front of me," Su Ziceng mocked, but of course, she knew that what Lin Ying said was true, even if Lin Ying repeated it quite frequently. She had said it once when meeting Pello, again when meeting Hang Yishao, and even blurted out the same line when meeting Zhou Dagen.
"My dear Ziceng," Lin Ying used this term to distinguish herself from the group of friends around Su Ziceng, and Su Ziceng initially found it a bit uncomfortable to hear. With Red Love no longer by her side, her dependency on Qiao Chu also gradually faded. Although Red Love had been returned to Pello, Su Ziceng never saw Wen Maixue wear it in private; otherwise, this would make Su Ziceng feel even more uneasy.
