When Xia Zijin arrived at the coffee shop they had arranged for, Duan Niqing was already waiting there.
Xia Zijin walked in and said, "Sister Qing, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting."
"It's okay, I just came early."
Duan Niqing smiled slightly and waved to Xia Zijin, "Sit down quickly, I've ordered coffee for you in advance."
"Okay, thank you, Sister Qing."
Xia Zijin nodded, and then sat opposite Duan Niqing, "Sister Qing, you just said on your phone that you had something urgent to discuss. What was it?"
"actually……"
Duan Niqing was about to speak but stopped.
Xia Zijin asked tentatively, "Sister Qing, have you encountered any difficulties?"
"Please let me slow down for a moment. For a moment, I don't know how to talk to you about this."
Duan Niqing spoke slowly.
Xia Zijin saw that Duan Niqing was in a bit of a dilemma and comforted him, "It's okay, Sister Qing, there is no need for this between you and me. If you have anything to say, just tell me."
Duan Niqing hesitated for a moment, "Actually, there was a problem with the project you invested in a few days ago."
"Zijin, I'm sorry!"
"It's all my fault!"
"If it weren't for my efforts to bring you in, this matter wouldn't involve you at all..."
Duan Niqing held Xia Zijin's hand tightly, feeling very remorseful and constantly apologizing to Xia Zijin.
"Huh?" Xia Zijin frowned and quickly comforted, "Sister Qing, don't blame yourself first. Can you tell me in detail what went wrong with this project?"
Duan Niqing sighed softly, "The young man who took the lead in the capital took away the money and ran away. Then the project had to be stopped. All the money we invested was lost."
"Zijin, I'm really sorry!"
"Tell me, if you didn't believe me and didn't invest before, that would be great!"
"It's all because of me that I've caused you trouble. I kept saying before that this project is a guaranteed profit, but now..."
Speaking of this, Duan Niqing burst into tears.
"Nowadays, since there are still such people?"
Xia Zijin's face turned ugly, "Sister Qing, that guy dares to take money and run away, then we can sue him!"
"As long as we have evidence in hand, he will never be able to escape, and we can still recover the money."
Duan Niqing shook his head, "It's useless. The other party has already planned everything."
"This project is from the government, and all funds are not initiated publicly. We have lost the opportunity to recover the funds."
"In this world, everyone is really interested in money."
Xia Zijin was annoyed. You know, because he believed in Duan Niqing, Renbo Pharmaceutical also invested heavily in this project.
But now, because someone has taken away the money, it means that Renbo Pharmaceutical has lost a huge amount for no reason.
"Zijin, I'm so sorry!"
Duan Niqing held Xia Zijin's hand tightly and said seriously, "Every mistake is my fault. Don't worry. As a good friend, I will not let you lose money in vain. You have invested in it before."
I will give you all your money back, and you won’t lose a penny."
Seeing what Duan Niqing said, Xia Zijin quickly said, "Sister Qing, how can this be done? You are also a victim. I can't blame you."
"Moreover, investment projects are inherently risky. After this time, I will understand more deeply that there is no free lunch in the world."
"Let this time be a lesson to us. In the future, we must learn from it and the most important thing is not to be deceived again."
Duan Niqing did not agree with Xia Zijin's statement, "No, if I don't return this money to you, I will have trouble sleeping and eating."
Then, she took out another check and handed it to Xia Zijin, "I have withdrawn from Xingchen Capital. This is the money from selling the shares in my hand. Think of it as compensation for you."
"Sister Qing, you..."
Xia Zijin felt sorry for her, "Xingchen Capital has great development prospects. It is not a good choice for you to withdraw at this time."
"No need to say anything, I've made up my mind."
Duan Niqing looked at Xia Zijin and said seriously, "You are my best friend in Jinling. This time you lost so much money because you believed in me. If I don't do something to compensate you, I will
I don’t even have the face to see you anymore.”
"Only if I compensate you will I feel at ease, so don't refuse."
After saying that, Duan Niqing directly put the check into Xia Zijin's hand.
"so much?"
Xia Zijin looked at the check in his hand, "The amount you have here is double what I originally invested."
"I told you at the beginning that as long as you are willing to invest, you will definitely make a profit without losing any money. The extra money will be regarded as a reward for your trust in me."
"No!"
"This won't work."
Xia Zijin shook his head, "Sister Qing..."
"Okay, don't tell me so much."
Duan Niqing was a little annoyed, "If you don't accept it, then you don't regard me, Duan Niqing, as a friend, and I'm going to be angry."
Xia Zijin felt deeply.
She didn't expect that Duan Niqing valued the friendship between them so much, which made her feel the warmth between friends.
But just because of this, she didn't want to accept Duan Niqing's compensation.
But she also knew that if she refused, it would probably make Duan Niqing think too much.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but fall into deep thought. After thinking of a way, she immediately said, "Sister Qing, I have an idea."
Duan Niqing asked curiously, "What can we do?"
Xia Zijin said, "Otherwise, I can accept your compensation, but you must also accept the benefits I give you."
Duan Niqing became interested, "You tell me first and listen."
"The extra money should be regarded as your investment in Renbo Pharmaceuticals. I will allocate corresponding shares to you. When Renbo Pharmaceuticals makes money, you can also get some dividends from it. What do you think?
"
Xia Zijin looked at Duan Niqing, wanting to know what she was thinking.
Hearing Xia Zijin's words, Duan Ni's Qingqiu eyes lit up slightly. He hesitated for a moment and said to Xia Zijin, "Your benefits sound very good, but I..."
Before Duan Niqing could finish speaking, Xia Zijin interrupted directly, "If you think it's good, then let's make it this way."
"If Sister Qing doesn't agree, then you don't regard me as a friend."
Duan Niqing smiled and said, "Since you said so, what else can I do?"
"I will make arrangements for this matter when I go back."
"OK."
Duan Niqing nodded.
Then the two of them drank coffee and chatted.
Duan Niqing asked, "Zijin, I heard that your Renbo Pharmaceutical stock market seemed to be maliciously manipulated a few days ago. What is going on?"
"It's nothing, it's all over."
Xia Zijin didn't hide it, "The other party is my boyfriend's enemy and has always been against him, so this time he targeted me."
Duan Niqing's face changed slightly, "Do you know who it is?"
Xia Zijin nodded, "I have dealt with her before. She has many people supporting her from the Lu family in the capital, but I only know her for the time being."
Duan Niqing hummed and changed the subject, "Zijin, when did you have a boyfriend? Who is he?"
Xia Zijin's pretty face turned red, "You know, my boyfriend is Lu Chen."
"It is indeed him."
Duan Niqing praised, "Zijin, you have such a good eye. This Mr. Lu is such a talented person. You two are so talented and beautiful together!"
Xia Zijin smiled lightly, "Thanks to his help this time, otherwise Renbo Pharmaceutical would have become someone else's meal."
"Mr. Lu is really powerful, and his Huatian Group has great potential for development. If you two join forces, I can't even imagine that scenario."
Duan Niqing giggled and said, "By the way, talking about Huatian Group, I remembered one thing."
"What's up?"
Duan Niqing looked around, then approached Xia Zijin and asked in a low voice, "I heard that Huatian Group has a secret, do you know?"
