Urban Soldier Young Master

Chapter 584: The Dilemma of Money


After laughing, He Qing pinched her chin and looked into Chu Ge's eyes. Although it was just a simple gesture, there was a certain charm to it that conveyed a strong sense of beauty.

Even though it wasn't quite appropriate, Chu Ge found himself captivated, pausing for a fraction of a second.

"A few days ago, I went to Jinkai Villa and got some money. I spent some these past two days, and there's still almost three million left. Let's use it for the company first."

When it came to He Qing, Chu Ge felt no need to hide anything. After all, this kind of gray income wasn't clean money.

He Qing smiled and shook her head, "Forget it. This storm won't end in a day or two, and a gaming company requires substantial upfront investment. How many emergencies can your millions really solve?"

Chu Ge obviously knew He Qing was right, so he said, "How about I sell that Maserati?"

He Qing kept shaking her head, "Just keep driving it. I know you're well-intentioned, but it's really not necessary."

Chu Ge touched his nose, realizing his suggestion was indeed quite bad. Even selling the car would just be a drop in the bucket, not much help at all.

"So, what do you plan to do?"

Chu Ge shrugged, tossing the question back to He Qing.

"Well... since even that transaction is frozen, my other assets must be the same. It's too easy to manipulate things under these conditions, so I won't waste time checking. Due to this relationship, bank loans are clearly out of the question."

"Moreover, with the He Family in such turmoil, even if I went out to borrow money, people would likely fear getting involved, eager to dissociate from us. There probably isn't anyone who dares to lend me money. As for my family and those abroad, asking them is awkward, this really is a tough problem."

At this point, He Qing suddenly glanced at Chu Ge with a smile.

"By the way, you've often said you didn't want to be the CEO anymore. How about I fulfill your wish and sell the company? Then we can use the money from the sale to start something else?"

Chu Ge laughed, "Sounds good. With your intelligence and ability, making a comeback would be a breeze, right? Then I can continue to work for you, and you can find me a job that's both well-paid and leisurely. I'm relying on you for the rest of my life."

Hearing this, especially the words "rest of my life," He Qing's smile widened, "So, it's settled, then?"

Chu Ge grinned and nodded, "It's settled."

With just a few words, the two seemed to reach an agreement. He Qing wasn't joking, but she wasn't sure if Chu Ge's words were genuine.

Just as they were talking and laughing, before He Qing could probe further, there was a sudden knock at the door. Chu Ge opened it to see Qin Ruojing standing at the door, her brows slightly furrowed, seemingly deep in thought.

For a moment, Chu Ge couldn't tell if it was Qin Ruojing or Qin Ruoying, so he simply smiled, "You're here? Come in?"

As soon as Qin Ruojing entered, she saw He Qing sitting on the couch with a smile, and she was immediately stunned.

"Miss He?"

He Qing nodded, "Miss Qin, long time no see. I wonder if it's Miss Ruojing or Miss Ruoying?"

Qin Ruojing came back to her senses and hurriedly said, "I'm Qin Ruojing. Miss He, when did you return?"

As she spoke, there was an odd expression on Qin Ruojing's face, and she glanced at Chu Ge from the corner of her eye, wondering what was going on here?

This jerk, wasn't he supposed to be considering things between us? So why is he with He Qing now? What's going through his mind?

"I've been back for some time now." He Qing casually smiled, "Just now, Chu Ge and I were talking about you, didn't expect to see you so soon."

Technically, there was nothing unusual about He Qing's words, at least Chu Ge didn't notice anything amiss. But when Qin Ruojing heard it, she felt uneasy from the bottom of her heart.

He Qing's demeanor and tone seemed so much like the lady of the house here?

How did she not know that He Qing had been back for a while? And how long exactly is "some time"?

During this "some time," how many times has He Qing been to see Chu Ge? Each time, were they always laughing and chatting like this?

Could it really be as Tong Yaqi said, that He Qing has such feelings for Chu Ge?

In just a few seconds, many thoughts sprang up in Qin Ruojing's mind, despite her finding a reason to tell herself that He Qing is the true owner of Tianqing Company, and since she entrusted the company to Chu Ge, it's reasonable for her to ask about the company's affairs after returning.

Yet this reason didn't fully convince her, especially since Tianqing Company is still affiliated with Tianjiao Group, and He Qing hasn't even contacted her once.

Originally, Qin Ruojing was just worried about what she had just heard from Tong Yaqi, about Tianqing Company's sudden freeze in funds. Thinking of this, her mind became even more chaotic.

"Chu Ge, since Miss Qin has something to discuss with you, I won't disturb you any longer."

Feeling a bit uneasy and deep in thought, Qin Ruojing watched as He Qing turned to Chu Ge, smiled, and began to take her leave.

Watching He Qing stand up from the sofa, preparing to leave, Qin Ruojing hesitated, unsure whether she should take the opportunity to ask her directly while she was still here, or wait until she left and then ask Chu Ge.

At this moment, Chu Ge laughed and said, "What's the rush to leave? We agreed that no matter what, we're going to have a welcome party for you today. If you leave, I'll really be letting you down. And by the way, let's hope your Tianqing Company can be sold soon at a good price."

Regarding the sale of Tianqing Company, Chu Ge had no reason to hide it from Qin Ruojing. She would know sooner or later, so whether it was now or later made no real difference.

Moreover, because of what happened last night, he felt a bit guilty. Even though he had already bought the ring, being alone with Qin Ruojing now would definitely feel a bit awkward, no matter what.

He Qing paused in her steps, feeling pleased inside, though she didn't show it on her face. She looked at Chu Ge and then at Qin Ruojing. "This... isn't convenient, is it?"

Chu Ge waved his hand and said, "It's not inconvenient at all. Qin Ruojing isn't an outsider. Go ahead and sit back down."

It was just a normal sentence, but to the ears of the two women, it evoked entirely different thoughts.

He Qing saw hope again. Although she had never been in love, she knew that couples in the throes of passion hardly want to be apart.

Yet, Chu Ge was urging her to stay, which seemingly indicated...that he was still uncertain about being with Qin Ruojing?

Qin Ruojing, on the other hand, frowned slightly. The way Chu Ge spoke hinted that his relationship with He Qing seemed closer than with her?

If she wasn't an outsider, did that mean, compared to her, He Qing was even less of an outsider?

"I haven't tasted your cooking in so long; I really kind of miss it." While both women were caught up in their thoughts, He Qing smiled and turned her gaze to Qin Ruojing, giving her an inquiring look.

Qin Ruojing, however, was still stunned, having just realized something from Chu Ge's words that made her doubt her ears: He Qing was selling Tianqing Company? What was happening?

After hesitating for a couple of seconds, Qin Ruojing noticed He Qing looking her way and finally snapped back to reality. Unable to hold back, she asked, "Miss He, you... plan to sell Tianqing Company?"

He Qing nodded.

This time, Qin Ruojing was certain she hadn't seen or heard wrong, and she suddenly felt anxious.

She had only managed to connect with He Qing because of Tianqing Company. It was the bridge sustaining their relationship. If Tianqing Company was sold, wouldn't that mean she and He Qing would no longer intersect?

True, she cared about the relationship between Chu Ge and He Qing, but she was equally concerned about her own career. Regardless of Chu Ge's final answer, her life and career had to go on.

So of course, Qin Ruojing could not wish for something like that to happen. She couldn't stand on ceremony or hesitate any longer and hurriedly asked, "Miss He, why... on earth would you want to sell Tianqing Company?"

He Qing motioned with her eyes towards Chu Ge, who was heading to the kitchen, chuckled lightly, and said, "This guy finds being the president of my company troublesome. I can't find anyone more trustworthy than him, so I plan to sell it. Then maybe find an industry he likes that's more relaxing, and start something new."

Qin Ruojing was dumbfounded again, severely doubting her ears. What kind of reason was this? Even with money, you can't be that arbitrary, right? Investing billions upfront just because this guy finds it troublesome, and now quitting?

What on earth was going on with these two?

Hearing He Qing say this, Chu Ge paused for a moment, looked back with a amused glance, shook his head, and said, "He Qing, stop teasing our chairman. I may not have been bending over backward for Tianqing Company, but I've definitely been concerned enough. How can you make it sound like I'm some irresponsible person?"

Qin Ruojing glanced at Chu Ge, pursed her lips, and felt increasingly confused inside.

This jerk, he knows he's being careless? Last night he was tenderly calling me Xiao Jing, and today he calls me chairman? Is it because he's in front of He Qing?

With her mind in turmoil, Qin Ruojing decided to set these questions aside for the moment and focus on understanding the situation with He Qing selling Tianqing Company, turning her attention back to He Qing.

He Qing gave a light laugh and shrugged at Qin Ruojing, "Alright, no more joking. Truth is, it's because I've run out of money."

"Miss He, you… what do you mean by that?" Qin Ruojing blinked, her tone filled with disbelief.

Why was everything today so bizarre?

He Qing, who possessed assets worth billions, claiming she has no money? Isn't that an international joke?
