Chapter 423: Chapter 423
"Yes, the chairman forced by the Fei Family can only take such actions," Su Ziceng was just questioning, not swearing heedlessly. It seems that the years of study at Kelly Women’s College have clearly been effective for her, but based on Pello’s understanding of Su Ziceng, she would never give up easily.
"We must return to the country immediately," Su Ziceng pressed the medical alert button. Those minor wounds of hers no longer required the aid of advanced medical facilities abroad. Su Ziceng had truly changed; the former Su Ziceng would incessantly urge the beauty clinic to inject botulinum toxin for even the slightest wrinkle on her face. But now, she didn’t even care about the obvious frostbite anymore. That’s because she knew the person she would face in the future was not the appearance-picky Hang Yishao; Pello would not mind these things. Read complete versıon only at 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚~𝙣𝙚𝙩
"Do you plan to go back to persuade the chairman?" Pello didn’t believe she could convince Su Qingzhang.
"I don’t plan on convincing him at all. I just want to tell him that it’s a foolish decision," Su Ziceng called a nurse over, hoping she could help with the discharge procedures immediately.
"Before starting this project, the Su Family had already conducted the corresponding feasibility analysis. For the coastal city that keeps attracting a growing number of immigrants, geographical constraints inevitably demand the construction of high-rise buildings," Pello tried to enlighten Su Ziceng using the same reasoning he had used to convince Su Qingzhang. At the beginning, Su Qingzhang was persuaded by the same reasons; the property prices in Mo City were soaring, and real estate would soon be an emerging industry. But that was based on not increasing those thirty-nine floors.
"The location of the Golden Coast development is coastal, and excessive piling will cause the ground to sink. Several coastal cities around the world have already experienced sea water backflow due to the construction of high-rise buildings," Su Ziceng said indignantly, "Moreover, high-rise construction requires a massive investment of funds, and if there is a break in the financial chain in the midst of it, the Su Family would be finished."
The financial chain... Pello’s eyes deepened. He hadn’t expected Su Ziceng to pay attention to the finances in advance. He could not allow Su Ziceng to tell Su Qingzhang these words; he had to change her mind.
"Ziceng, you are overthinking," Pello approached the increasingly agitated Su Ziceng and held her in his embrace. Su Ziceng dodged slightly at first, but soon stopped moving. During their time in the mountain hollow, the two of them had cuddled each other for warmth .
"Where did you hear all these theories?" Pello knew that these weren’t taught at Kelly Women’s College; as for sea level backflow, he had never even heard of it. If Su Qingzhang confirmed this information, he would certainly change his mind.
"I..." Su Ziceng realized that, in her agitation, she had blurted out incidents that happened in a world ten years later, "I just saw a few taller buildings by the Mo City coast that caused ground subsidence, and the real estate projects are too risky; they can at least drag down a corporation or, at worst, crash an entire country’s economy. Aren’t a few countries in Southeast Asia currently in crisis?"
"With me here, what are you afraid of? If you’re worried, you can also join the Su Family and watch over it personally," Pello knew that now was the time to invite Su Ziceng to join the Su Family, and she wouldn’t refuse. The exclusive rights project for ZARA was within the scope of inheritance rights. For the time being, Su Ziceng could not be involved with this project anymore.
"I’d better return to the country first and talk to Dad again," Su Ziceng also knew that during the funeral arrangements, meeting Orleans would be very difficult; it was better to wait until everything had calmed down before following up.
"Alright, then you go and discuss the follow-up treatment recommendations with the doctor. I’ll help you with the discharge procedures," Pello comforted Su Ziceng and left the ward with a smile.
Pello came to the registration desk and saw a stack of discharge forms, took one out, filled it in, and then took out his phone and dialed Su Qingzhang’s number.
"Chairman, the Wen family has already agreed to provide additional funding, but the Wen Family requires us to put up a guarantee equivalent to fifty percent of the additional costs, and it must be signed before tomorrow," Pello knew that things would become more uncertain once Su Ziceng returned; he could only force Su Qingzhang to make a quick decision now.
"Fifty percent? Where can I get so much liquid capital all at once," Su Qingzhang was torn between joy that the Wen Family was willing to invest, and the overwhelming pressure from the added conditions and the urgency of time.
"Perhaps you could consider reducing some of the safety investments in the mines. I remember that this year the company allocated a large sum of money to the old mines for equipment and fire safety maintenance," Pello offered a suggestion. Although he was abroad, the accounts of the Su Family were as clear to him as if they were laid out right in front of him. (To be continued.
