Chapter 1285: 1284 is not worth it
“I have already studied it. Although DongDa Real Estate is also facing survival pressure, it has developed over many years and is deeply rooted in the domestic real estate industry. It won’t decline in the short term,” Jiang Min had learned quite a bit about the construction industry and understood some of the market conditions. After a simple a.n.a.lysis, she reluctantly agreed to the arranged marriage set up by her family.
“You also said it won’t decline in the short term, but what about the long term?” Tan Rou countered, “How long do you think DongDa Real Estate can last? Five years or ten years? Or maybe twenty years? At present, your sacrifice seems worthwhile, but in the long run, your sacrifice is uncertain.”
“As long as I get through the present, it’s enough…” Jiang Min said.
However, before she could finish her sentence, Tan Rou interrupted her, laughing, “Isn’t your goal to keep your family going indefinitely? If it only lasts ten or twenty years, is your sacrifice still worth it?”
Jiang Min had no answer, “Let’s talk about the future when it comes.”
“Since we are putting off future matters for later, why are you in such a hurry to marry Feng Jiao now?” Tan Rou said, “There might be new opportunities in the future.”
Jiang Min shook her head, “There will be no new opportunities. In these past few months, I have made many efforts, but very few companies are willing to cooperate with us. For a company, credit is extremely important; once it loses others’ trust, it receives a fatal blow. The development of my company was already tough and incidents related to the government have led to even bigger crises, making the company’s development even more difficult.”
“Does your company lack money or connections?” Tan Rou asked directly, “Or is it a lack of new construction projects?”
Jiang Min gave a bitter smile, “What if I said my company lacks everything?”
“Then go find new partners,” Tan Rou said, “Though I don’t have any projects to offer you, my older brother and Zhuang Liu definitely will. Regarding the funds you need, I can lend you as much as you need, but I can’t lend them to you for nothing. Just pay me back when your company recovers.”
Jiang Min did not want to trouble Tan Rou further, and Tan Rou wasn’t someone she could ask for help; she needed to seek help from Zhuang Liu and Tao Zhi. Jiang Min was not familiar with Zhuang Liu, nor did they have any business dealings, so she had no idea how to cooperate with them.
Moreover, the Zhuang family and the Tao family were too powerful for Jiang Min; she didn’t dare do business with them.
“Let’s just drop it. I’ll figure something out by myself,” Jiang Min rejected Tan Rou’s kindness.
“Alright, since you’ve rejected it, I won’t say more,” Tan Rou said, “I hope you get along well with your husband in the future.”
Jiang Min’s face showed a brief sense of discomfort, but she still accepted Tan Rou’s blessing, “Yes, I will.”
Seeing Jiang Min’s current state, Shang Jin was furious and wanted to rush up and give Jiang Min a punch, but Tan Rou stopped her, advising, “Shang Jin, it’s Jiang Min’s own choice; we have to respect her decision. If she thinks sacrificing her marriage to save her family is worth it, we can only wish her well.”
Shang Jin looked puzzled, “Tan Rou, what are you talking about? Weren’t you out here to persuade Ah Min?”
Tan Rou spread her hands, “Shang Jin, it’s not that I didn’t want to persuade her, but she simply doesn’t want to listen to our advice, so we should just leave it be rather than annoy her by saying too much.”
Shang Jin glanced at Jiang Min, then back at Tan Rou, unsure where to direct her anger, she stamped fiercely on the ground several times, “I don’t care anymore. Marry whoever you want to marry; after all, I have no money to give you.”
With that, she ran away angrily.
Jiang Min watched her departing figure, wanting to call her back but not knowing what to say.
“I know you all don’t approve of me marrying Feng Jiao, but I’m already in this situation, and calling off the wedding would definitely bring major trouble to the Jiang family,” Jiang Min said to Tan Rou, “Let’s not talk about this anymore, I hope we can still be friends in the future.”
Tan Rou said, “We will definitely be friends, but whether we can maintain a good relations.h.i.+p, that I cannot guarantee.”
