Chapter 642: Chapter 642

On the evening after celebrating Huo Feng’s birthday, Pu Sangzhi also received some good news.

At 10:00 PM, she received a call from her father in the girls’ dormitory...

Pu Sangzhi quickly stepped out of the dormitory and found a secluded spot in the corridor to quietly talk on the phone with her father.

In the morning, Pu Sangzhi had learned that several elders and Brother Ye Xi had already officially met in Shanghai.

Brother Ye Xi sent her a message on WeChat, telling her not to worry and letting her know that a group of them was already at the company waiting to negotiate.

They had come up with an excellent strategy to resolve the debt amounting to ten million.

The elders were all there, including Brother Ye Xi.

Pu Sangzhi felt very reassured about the situation there.

She knew that even if the situation was bad, it wouldn’t turn into a disaster.

So, she was able to enjoy the day with Huo Feng, laughing and having fun all around.

At this moment, Pu Wenhua called her, clearly to share good news.

She knew her father’s temper well; he was someone who reported good news and not the bad.

Thus, as soon as she answered the phone, Pu Sangzhi heard some very good news.

Her father told her that he had reached an agreement with the president of the company over there to treat the ten-million debt as an investment in another venture he was preparing to undertake.

For the past few months, Pu Wenhua had been wandering around various places out of town.

Just right, in a small mountain village in another province, he had discovered a developable abandoned site.

Pu Wenhua, a graduate of the Civil Engineering Department at Tsinghua University, had abundant knowledge in construction.

So, he had spent almost half a year mingling in that region and successfully settled into a small local construction company, gaining some connections within the construction circle.

This trip to Shanghai wasn’t one he made empty-handed.

He brought a feasible plan, prepared to use his eloquence and his once-brilliant entrepreneurial history to do business with the debt-owing company.

Although the odds were slim since Pu Wenhua didn’t have much capital, he could only rely on his actual ability to take the biggest risk of his life.

He would either get financial support and become a partner with the company,

or be rejected by the company, and it was very possible that he might be arrested or forced to offset the debt through some illegal means...

In short, his trip to Shanghai indeed involved significant risks.

However, what moved him tremendously was that the Ye Family had actually followed him there, with several million in capital support from Xu Hui, and the talent support of Ye Xi.

The negotiation went very smoothly...

After the negotiation, the ten-million debt was gone; all that was left was a partnership relationship.

Although this partnership was also a risky one, by cooperating with each other in a mutually beneficial manner, Pu Wenhua was confident that he could start from scratch, restart and manage his business anew!

After all, since his graduation from Tsinghua, as a graduate of the Civil Engineering Department decades ago, he had never forgotten his origin.

Pu Sangzhi listened as Pu Wenhua roughly explained over the phone how he had resolved the matter...

And finally, when she heard the outcome.

She really breathed a sigh of relief; she felt much more relaxed.

"Dad, this is so good..."

Pu Sangzhi gently patted her chest, her eyes reddening with emotion, "It’s good that all of you are alright and that the issue was resolved. It’s really great..."

"This time, I really have to thank Aunt Hui, thank all our family members."

Pu Wenhua spoke very excitedly on the phone with a grateful heart, "Dad has been doing business for so many years, no, since school until now. I have only experienced people who add flowers on brocade, but the Ye Family is the only one who has sent charcoal in snow. This kindness, our whole family must remember, and in the future, no matter what happens, as long as the Ye Family needs us, our family must unhesitatingly help!"

Pu Sangzhi nodded in agreement, "Dad, you’re right. Dad, I’m so happy..."

Pu Sangzhi was indeed very happy.

Because when she said the words "happy," her eyes were red with tears shimmering in her pupils, deeply moved.

She had been displaced for so long.

She had been forced to carry a burden of debt for so long.

Even to the point where her dignity could no longer be salvaged.

Finally, one day, that burden of debt was gone.

Although the road ahead was still very rough and fraught with significant risks.

But everything would pass.

Pu Sangzhi believed that these years were definitely the hardest, and things would gradually get better in the future.

As long as life continued, as long as the family was together, there was no hurdle too difficult to overcome.

"Xiaosang, as long as you’re happy. It’s Dad who has held you back these years..."

Pu Wenhua sighed deeply, "Starting today, Dad will definitely take on the responsibility of head of the family, and I won’t let you and your mom suffer anymore. Right, Dad won’t return home; I’ll start a journey to the other province tomorrow and initiate the project there. That abandoned land is really good, the feng shui is also great, and the price is very low. I have to buy it as soon as possible and develop it soon."

"Mm. Dad, you can do it."

Pu Sangzhi nodded, "Dad, is Mom coming back, then?"

"She said she would return. She is quite confident in me, just not in you. Your studies are also very important now, listen to Dad, and make sure you get into a good school. Much of the knowledge you learn might not seem useful at the moment, but knowledge is something the more you have, the better," Pu Wenhua explained to her carefully.

"I understand, Dad. I will try hard on my exams, and I will definitely get into Tsinghua like you and Brother Ye Xi."

Pu Sangzhi took a deep breath, smiled slightly, "I also want to study in the Civil Engineering Department. I want to become your junior, and I will help you there later."

"The Civil Engineering Department is mostly men; you shouldn’t join just to follow the trend. Study whatever you like, don’t let Dad influence you," Pu Wenhua tried to persuade her.

"No, I want to study this."

Pu Sangzhi said, "By the way, Dad. You haven’t told me about the contract you signed with the company to strike out on a new venture. What if this business venture doesn’t go well, how will the company handle it?"

"It won’t be a problem." ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱

Pu Wenhua said, "Don’t worry about that. Dad will definitely succeed. This time, Dad is betting everything on it, even risking the Ye Family’s assets."

Hearing him say this, Pu Sangzhi felt somewhat worried again, "Dad, you didn’t sign an unfair treaty, did you?"

"What unfair or fair. As long as a contract is signed, there’s always inequality between parties. A contract doesn’t have an absolutely equal side, just like in business; there’s always an active and a passive party," Pu Wenhua said.

The more Pu Sangzhi listened, the more uneasy she felt, "Dad, I’m sure you signed some kind of unfair treaty. Can’t you tell me? Saying it , I’m really worried..."

"Don’t worry. Dad promises it will get better, and it definitely will."

On the other end of the phone, Pu Wenhua suddenly laughed, "Just stay happy. Let’s leave it at that, and you should go to sleep early."

Pu Sangzhi nodded in agreement, "Dad, when is Mom coming back?"

Pu Wenhua said, "She will be coming back tomorrow. You’ll see her this weekend when you come back from school. You, at school, must study hard and not always think about playing. Has that boy who was involved in the car accident matured a bit?"

Just as they were about to hang up, Pu Wenhua suddenly brought up Huo Feng, and it seemed the topic was about to develop further.

Pu Sangzhi quickly made an evasive remark, "He has grown quite a bit, definitely more mature than last year. Dad, don’t worry about him."

Pu Wenhua sighed lightly, "I’m not worried about him; I’m worried about you. I know he treats you well and is very keen on pursuing you. But he really isn’t mature enough yet, his mindset is still very juvenile. If you are to grow with him, this process really needs some calibration. Also, Ye Xi is really good..."

Pu Sangzhi, guessing what Pu Wenhua was about to say next, quickly interrupted, "Dad, Brother Ye Xi has always been just my brother; I’ve always treated him as such."

After she finished her sentence, there was silence on the other end of the phone for several seconds.

Several seconds later, Pu Wenhua finally spoke, "Alright, alright. This matter is up to you; Dad won’t interfere anymore. However, that boy really isn’t mature enough; you still need to observe him more, give him a few more years to develop. Definitely don’t rush to give yourself away or rush into making things official. Let him study hard and become a superior person."

Pu Sangzhi nodded, "I know, Dad. He’s working hard too."

Pu Wenhua, "That’s good."

Pu Sangzhi, "Dad, I like him."
