After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1182: 1181: An Irresistible Temptation

In her previous life, Xia Chuyi had resided in G City for many years, yet she had never heard mention of Li Kexin suffering from a lack of capital.

Her recollections painted a picture of the Sanjin real estate development progressing without a single hitch.

The government had been highly supportive of the construction sector during that era, and Li Kexin himself had boasted in multiple media interviews that his Sanjin project was unfolding with remarkable success.

It remained a mystery why this renowned real estate venture, akin to a blockbuster film that never missed, suddenly faced such dire financial instability.

These developments left Xia Chuyi with the persistent intuition that some unseen hand was deliberately steering the course of events.

“Alas, he was simply too talkative,” the director lamented. “He never intended to overextend his project initially.”

“The bank loans he secured were limited, and certainly insufficient for any massive expansion.”

“That was when an associate convinced him to inject more capital to broaden the scale of the venture.”

“Believing the opportunity was once-in-a-lifetime, he gritted his teeth and moved forward,” the director added with rising ire. “In the end, that investor betrayed him!”

“To put it bluntly, he was sabotaged. He tried desperately to source alternative funding,” the director sighed. “Everyone he approached was merely looking for a chance to exploit his vulnerability and bleed him dry.”

“Furthermore, Ke Xin’s own hesitation, born from the fear of being swindled again, prevented him from finalizing any deals in time.”

“By the moment he finally steeled his resolve, those who had previously pledged their support suddenly backtracked.”

“Unfortunately, he ended up completely cornered.”

“That is why I finally thought of you,” the director remarked apologetically. “Chuyi, if you decide to invest, I will personally guarantee your position, and he will undoubtedly place his trust in you.”

“This real estate development is a guaranteed path to profit!” The director awaited her response, asking, “Chuyi, what is your decision?”

Having absorbed the director’s explanation, Xia Chuyi felt her suspicions reinforced that an unknown force was actively manipulating these circumstances.

It was evident that someone had carefully orchestrated a scheme to devour Liu Kexin’s real estate holdings.

Remarkably, despite the malice behind these maneuvers, the final outcome appeared to be handing all the advantages directly to Xia Chuyi.

Real estate was a sector Xia Chuyi had never intended to enter.

However, faced with such a lucrative opportunity, finding the strength to decline was proving quite difficult.

After a period of quiet reflection, Xia Chuyi prompted the director, “How much capital does Li Kexin actually require?”

The director’s expression brightened instantly at the question, “You are considering the investment?”

He then disclosed a specific sum.

Needless to say, the figure prompted a sharp pang of anxiety in Xia Chuyi’s chest.

Nevertheless, the amount remained within the scope of what she could manage.

As the director noted, between her recent franchise earnings, the capital flowing through Youwei, her dowry, and the proceeds from her jade sales, she could indeed pull the necessary resources together.

Taking a deep breath to steady herself, Xia Chuyi replied, “Arrange for Li Kexin to come here. I wish to speak with him in person.”

Xia Chuyi needed to verify whether Li Kexin possessed the competence to salvage the project despite its forced expansion.

With that, Xia Chuyi and the director reached a tentative agreement.

Just before Li Kexin could make his way to the Capital City, news finally arrived from Ling County.
