?Chapter 568: Chapter 569: Asking for Help (8)_1 Chapter 568: Chapter 569: Asking for Help (8)_1 Jing Haohao’s face turned somewhat pale, she nodded slightly towards Mr. Chen.
Mr. Chen seemed to be extremely enraged, pointed at Jing Haohao, unable to utter a curse. Eventually, he picked up the contract on the table and violently threw it at Jing Haohao’s face: “You have three days, either make up for the company’s nine million loss, or prepare to go to prison!”
After saying that, Mr. Chen stormed into his office and slammed the door shut with a “bang”.
The entire secretarial office area fell eerily silent, with only the occasional light rustling sound from the computer.
The contract papers rustled as they fell all over the floor.
Jing Haohao clenched her fist tightly. After a while, she lifted her head and looked at Mr. Chen’s secretary.
Mr. Chen’s secretary briefly met Jing Haohao’s gaze, then quickly averted her eyes. She stared at the computer in front of her, frozen in place.
Jing Haohao looked at the unconcerned secretary of Mr. Chen, a surge of unspeakable rage welled up within.
She was being accused of nine million in debt out of nowhere. Not to mention the current Jing Haohao, even when she was previously working in the entertainment industry, she wouldn’t have been able to repay such an amount!
The more she thought about it, the angrier Jing Haohao felt. She turned around, picked up the documents and computer on the table, and without any regard, threw them violently at Mr. Chen’s secretary.
Mr. Chen’s secretary screamed as she was hit by Jing Haohao. She jumped up reflexively, trying to dodge, but Jing Haohao rushed forward, grabbed her by the hair fiercely, raised her hand without hesitation, and slapped her hard across the face twice.
Mr. Chen’s secretary had been hit but dared not retaliate, nor dared to meet Jing Haohao’s gaze.
Jing Haohao gripped the secretary’s hair a little tighter, then let go fiercely. She grabbed her bag, didn’t bother to give the people in the office another glance, and walked out directly.
…
Jing Haohao walked down the street for a long while before the anger in her heart began to subside. She didn’t even eat dinner and went straight home in a taxi.
She didn’t turn on the lights. The room was pitch black. She crawled into bed, huddled under the covers.
She couldn’t tell how much time had passed, the night outside became darker and quieter, but Jing Haohao couldn’t sleep.
The nine million and the impending jail time constantly clouded her mind.
Jail… nine million, how many years would she have to spend in prison?
The thought made Jing Haohao shudder, a sense of panic and fear welling up in her heart.
But, where could she possibly find nine million?
Jing Haohao took out her phone and looked through all the contacts in her address book.
She discovered three people who could potentially provide nine million.
The first was Liang Chen, the second was Shen Liangnian, and the third was Fang Lu.
Jing Haohao lined up these three names in her mind, then decisively crossed out Shen Liangnian without any hesitation.
Actually, she didn’t have to ask anyone. All she needed to do was give Shen Liangnian a call and tell him she needed nine million. She wouldn’t have to explain why, and Shen Liangnian would definitely give it to her without any hesitation.
However, she really didn’t want to have anything further to do with him. Even if it meant going to prison, she wouldn’t beg Shen Liangnian for help.
