Chapter 382 Completely Broken!

Du Sheng recognized Zhang Baizhi's voice, took the phone and listened for a while, then said:
"Tomorrow? I might go to Yangcheng tomorrow to deal with the Kung Fu faction's affairs.

By the way, the day after tomorrow, "Chinese Paladin" will be released. I'm quite busy during this period. Can we have a New Year's Eve dinner then?"

Although it was a bit regretful that they couldn't spend the New Year together, Zhang Baizhi also understood that the other party was no longer the little Kara of last year, and said with understanding:

"If you go to Yangcheng tomorrow, will you have free time?"

"There's still some time, what's wrong?"

"It's like this, Juji suddenly called me and said that his girlfriend's business in the mainland had some trouble.

This also involves Sister Huimin’s funds, and now there is a gap that needs to be filled…”

Zhang Baizhi and Gu Juji get along well with each other, and they even had supper together at the last Hong Kong Gala.

And Gu Juji’s girlfriend is naturally his and Zhou Huimin’s agent Chen Xueying.

“I don’t mind this little money, I just treat it as an investment, but I always feel something is wrong.

If you have time, could you ask someone to help ask about it?"

Du Sheng was slightly startled when he heard about Zhou Huimin:
“What is the funding gap?”

Zhou Huimin is a member of the American Billiards Association. She once represented the association in a competition and won third place in the women's group. She has opened several billiard halls in Guangzhou.

She also invested $4 million in a skincare brand, but it later seemed to have closed due to mismanagement.

The funding issue this time should be with the billiard club.

"three million."

After hearing Zhang Baizhi's answer, Du Sheng had an idea in mind.

It seems that the problem is not too big.

"Send me your address and contact information, and I'll take care of it when I have time."

.........

Zhou Huimin was in a terrible mood these days.

It was not only because of investment problems, but also because her emotional world was in chaos.

She poured so much effort into her relationship with Ni Zhen that she even chose to retire when her career was at its peak and went to the Maple Leaf Country with Ni Zhen to start a new life.

Unfortunately, the relationship between the two has now completely broken down, and the beautiful vision they had at the beginning has become a bubble.

Originally, after a period of calm after the last quarrel, she still had a trace of sympathy for Ni Zhen deep in her heart.

Especially after experiencing such a blow, she couldn't bear to see Ni Zhen continue to suffer, and considered whether to give him another chance.

But just now, her good friend and agent Chen Xueying brought her a newspaper with a particularly eye-catching headline:
"Ni Zhen hangs around in the bar, having sex with two big-breasted girls day and night!"

In the accompanying picture, Ni Zhen is in great joy, with two big-breasted girls sitting next to him and kissing them.

The angle captured by the paparazzi was extremely precise. Not only did he capture Ni Zhen's hand reaching into the busty girl's collar, he also clearly captured the scene of them entangled.

This scene was like a bucket of cold water poured on Zhou Huimin's heart.

Her hesitation and pity also disappeared, and she hugged Chen Xueying tightly and sobbed.

Chen Xueying sighed inwardly, patted her back and consoled her:

"Sister Huimin, there's really no point in feeling sad for someone like this."

Zhou Huimin sobbed and said:
"Xueying, I really can't understand why he is still unwilling to change at this time..."

"You're not confused, you just don't want to face reality."

Chen Xueying sighed again:
"Ni Zhen is a playboy. Didn't you break up with him because he refused to change his ways?

And to put it bluntly, this kind of person will only escape when encountering problems and hurt the people around them.

I have long advised you that there is a wonderful world out there and there is no need to cling to firewood."

Chen Xueying knew that the reason why Zhou Huimin was so persistent and refused to give up on Ni Zhen, who hurt her time and time again, was largely related to her poor single-parent family.

Because Ni Zhen's love for her largely made up for the lack of fatherly love in her childhood, she truly felt the care and warmth.

But a bystander can see things more clearly. Chen Xueying despises this kind of playboy very much. If she doesn't let go of him one day, he will only fall deeper and deeper into trouble.

Although Zhou Huimin looked weak, she was actually very opinionated and she could not persuade him twice.

If there wasn't a heart-wrenching blow afterwards, as long as Ni Zhen said some sweet words, the two would most likely get back together.

Zhou Huimin did not respond, but just shed tears silently. Her pitiful appearance made people feel distressed.

This time, she was really hurt.

This relationship was undoubtedly a wrong choice.

"Sister Huimin, you guys broke up too. There's no point in being sad for someone like this. You might as well go and relax."

Chen Xueying originally planned to take Zhou Huimin to the billiard club, but it was not appropriate to bring it up at this time.

"Ji Zai is filming in the mainland, why don't you go and help?"

Zhou Huimin took the tissue from the other person and hid her sadness.

"Humph, career is not as important to men!"

Chen Xueying said this carelessly, but there was a hint of worry in her words.

Her boyfriend had not had a smooth career in Hong Kong before, and only became gradually popular after he moved to the mainland and filmed two Qiong Yao dramas.

Considering that her future work focus is likely to be in the mainland, Chen Xueying decided to follow her boyfriend's footsteps and invest in some local industries.

Unexpectedly, this investment made her deeply involved.

Not only did Zhou Huimin, who followed the investment, lose her money, but even part of her boyfriend’s funds were trapped.

But Zhou Huimin didn't care about these things.

The two walked together on the streets of Yangcheng, feeling the lively New Year atmosphere.

"The mainland is developing better and better, and it's actually quite nice to celebrate the New Year here!"

Chen Xueying looked at the lanterns hanging on the street and sighed.

Zhou Huimin's mood improved a lot. She reached out and picked up a few pink petals from the flying cherry blossoms. She smelled them gently and smiled brightly.

She gently blew away the petals in her hands, like a flower fairy lost in the world.

Chen Xueying looked at the elegant and pure beauty beside her, and her thoughts drifted away for a moment.

Seeing that she was stunned and silent, Zhou Huimin turned her head and said:
"Xueying, what's wrong?" Chen Xueying said with deep emotion:

"Sister Huimin, you are so beautiful and charming. I really don't know what kind of lucky man will be able to have you in the future!"

It is said that time cannot defeat beauty, and the person next to me perfectly illustrates this saying.

"Xueying, how about you give up Jizai and we can live together?"

Zhou Huimin joked with a smile.

"That's what I want! But Ji Zai is still useful, for example, running errands for us, buying water, driving..."

"Haha, Xueying, you don't really mean what I said.

Let me guess, are you imagining that Ji Zai is proposing to you right now..."

Chen Xueying was so angry that her secret was exposed that she pinched Zhou Huimin's arm.

The two of them were laughing and playing together.

Just when the two of them were forgetting their troubles, Chen Xueying's cell phone rang at an inopportune time.

After she answered the phone, she had a brief conversation and then shook her head and hung up.

"Really? We've already agreed to hang out and relax, but you still have to call me!"

But before she could finish her complaint, the ringing sounded again.

Zhou Huimin smiled and asked:

"Is there something important going on with Kee?"

Chen Xueying shook her head gently:
"Don't mention him, he's just a bunch of troubles..."

"You're still dwelling on these troubles, and your mind isn't really here anymore."

"I……"

"Forget it, forget it. I was just joking. Ji Zai must be having his own problems. You should just go over there quickly."

Zhou Huimin smiled and waved:
"I've been to Guangzhou many times, and I can feel comfortable alone."

"Sister Huimin, I'm so sorry."

Chen Xueying felt a little apologetic.

She originally wanted to comfort Zhou Huimin, but she didn't expect that she would become the one being comforted.

"Do we still need to be so polite? Go with peace of mind."

Zhou Huimin smiled and comforted.

Chen Xueying wanted to say something several times but stopped herself. She turned around and couldn't help but look back. Finally, she sighed and disappeared into the crowd.

Looking at her friend walking away, Zhou Huimin couldn't help feeling a little melancholy.

Although I pretended to be calm on the surface, I couldn't help feeling a little lonely at this moment when I was alone.

But before loneliness could set in, a phone call came in.

After listening to this, Zhou Huimin put down her phone with a strange look on her face.

When Du Sheng arrived at the agreed location, an elegant figure came towards him.

Zhou Huimin wore a simple white windbreaker, the open collar of which casually outlined her well-proportioned curves.

A long floral skirt can be vaguely seen on her lower body, cleverly showing off her slender waist and graceful figure.

The white windbreaker makes her skin look even fairer and more delicate, and she exudes a mature and charming charm.

Du Sheng secretly admired in his heart.

The beauties who are praised as the leaders of the Jade Maidens are all worthy of their reputation and each has her own strengths.

"Ah Sheng, thank you for your trouble. I have to ask you to come here in person!"

Zhou Huimin walked over with a somewhat apologetic smile.

Du Sheng stretched out his hand and shook her gently, smiling:

"Sister Huimin, this is not the first time we've dealt with each other, so there's no need to be so polite.

It just so happens that I came to Yangcheng to do some things, and since I met you..."

When Zhou Huimin heard that it was Chen Xueying who contacted Zhang Baizhi, a hint of emotion flashed in her eyes.

Both of them are called the Jade Lady Leaders by Hong Kong media, so they naturally have connections in private.

It just rarely involves money transactions.

After the two of them sat down, Du Sheng asked directly:

"Is your investment this time huge? Why is there a gap all of a sudden? Can you tell me more about it?"

He knew that Zhou Huimin stopped accepting any announcements after retiring from the entertainment industry, and that her main source of income was music copyright fees.

Adding to the money earned in the past, even if the investment fails, there will still be 10 or 20 million accumulated.

Although she did not speak personally at this moment, her agent's fundraising also revealed certain financial problems.

Zhou Huimin did not hide this.

She described in detail the situation she and Chen Xueying are currently facing.

They plan to take over three stores, open a new billiards chain, and need to import a batch of high-end billiards equipment from abroad.

The seller requires full payment.

“This opportunity is a bit rare, the store is in an excellent location, and the owner is in urgent need of money, so he is willing to sell it at a low price.

That batch of equipment was also obtained through special channels, with a discount of 30%.

I didn’t have enough cash, so I had to ask Xueying to pay part of the money first. I didn’t expect that after all the trouble, I found Baizhi’s head…”

Judging from Zhou Huimin's optimistic tone, it seems that she thinks this is an investment opportunity.

Du Sheng raised his eyebrows after hearing this.

Both the entry and exit prices were discounted, and the timing was so coincidental that he felt something was wrong.

"Opportunities are often accompanied by risks. I think it is better to know yourself and your opponent when doing business."
