"If anyone dares to bully you again in the future, tell me, and I'll stand up for you," Jiang Yi said.
"Why are you being so good to me?" Xiaoxin's eyes showed a hint of suspicion.
"I'm good to you for a reason."
To avoid arousing Xiaoxin's suspicion, Jiang Yi said, "I've investigated and found you to be a talented individual. Once you're capable, you can come work under me."
Upon hearing this, Xiaoxin frowned.
But then, Xiaoxin smiled and nodded.
This made Jiang Yi a little stunned.
He had expected Xiaoxin to hesitate, but he hadn't anticipated her readily agreeing.
"I've encountered a big problem."
Xiaoxin looked at Jiang Yi and said, "Something has happened at my family's factory. If it's not resolved, my tuition will be an issue, and I won't be able to continue my studies. If you truly want to help me, then help me solve the problem with my family's factory."
Hearing this, Jiang Yi couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.
He had been looking for an excuse to help the Kang family's factory, and now Xiaoxin was proactively asking for his help.
Seeing Jiang Yi remain silent, Xiaoxin showed a disappointed expression.
"I was just saying. If you're unwilling to help me, then forget it! We're just acquaintances, and I know my request is a bit much," Xiaoxin said.
"Alright, I'll help you!"
Jiang Yi smiled faintly.
Xiaoxin was a little stunned by Jiang Yi's agreement.
"You're really willing to help?" Xiaoxin asked quickly.
"Mm!"
Jiang Yi nodded. "This matter is quite simple for me. Helping you won't be any trouble."
"Then thank you!"
Xiaoxin was very excited, but her expression remained calm.
She didn't want Jiang Yi to see what she was thinking.
Xiaoxin could tell that Jiang Yi had no malicious intent, but she didn't fully trust him.
"I'll go back first and discuss it with my parents, then I'll notify you!"
Xiaoxin said to Jiang Yi, "We have no prior relationship. If you suddenly help our family, my parents definitely won't believe it. I need to convince them first. Please don't mind."
"No problem!" Jiang Yi chuckled.
"Then I'll be going back now!"
After speaking, Xiaoxin bid farewell to Jiang Yi and boarded the bus.
"Mr. Jiang, who is this Xiaoxin?" Sun Jun asked curiously.
Jiang Yi briefly recounted the events.
Sun Jun was a trustworthy person, so there was no harm in telling him.
"I understand!"
Sun Jun nodded and said, "Our Sun Shi Pharmaceutical Group will definitely provide full assistance, Mr. Jiang. My father said that without you, there would be no Sun family today."
"In reality, this is not a major issue. I just want to help the Kang family!" Jiang Yi said.
"I understand!"
Sun Jun nodded.
Meanwhile, Xiaoxin returned home full of excitement.
At that moment, Kang You and Li Min were at home discussing matters concerning the pharmaceutical factory.
The couple had a big argument about the factory.
"Most of the factory's medicines are only half-produced. Due to a lack of funds, we can't purchase more raw materials to continue production. Furthermore, tomorrow is the fifteenth, and it's time to pay the employees. I must secure fifty thousand yuan by tomorrow, or the factory will be completely finished!" Kang You said with a sigh, his face filled with helplessness.
Li Min's face was full of worry.
"Is there no other way?" Li Min asked.
"No!"
Kang You shook his head. "I've thought of every possible solution, but there's no way to gather fifty thousand yuan."
"What about your Kang family members? Your elder and second brothers are wealthy people. Fifty thousand yuan is nothing to them," Li Min said.
"I've already approached them!"
Kang You sighed deeply and said, "They refused to lend me a single cent and even humiliated me."
Upon hearing this, Li Min fell silent.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back!"
Xiaoxin walked into the hall.
Seeing Xiaoxin return, Li Min quickly gave Kang You a look, signaling him not to mention the factory.
Kang You understood Li Min's meaning and did not continue discussing the factory.
"Dad, Mom, how is the factory doing?"
Xiaoxin asked.
"How do you know about the factory?" Li Min asked curiously.
Li Min and Kang You had never mentioned the factory to Xiaoxin.
"Last night when I got up to use the restroom, I secretly overheard you talking about the factory! I know something has happened to the factory," Xiaoxin said.
Hearing this, Kang You and Xiaoxin felt a sense of helplessness. They knew they could no longer hide it.
"Don't worry about the factory, your father and I will handle it. What you need to do now is study hard and not concern yourself with anything else," Li Min said to Xiaoxin.
"Your mother is right. Studying hard is the most important thing," Kang You also said to Xiaoxin.
Just then, the factory manager arrived.
The factory manager's expression was grim.
Kang You and Li Min knew that something must have gone wrong at the factory.
"Boss, something big has happened at the factory!"
The factory manager said to Kang You with a look of helplessness. "People from Yunduan Company just came and said the factory couldn't produce that batch of new medicine and planned to cancel the order."
"What?"
Kang You couldn't sit still!
"The people from Yunduan Company said they want to acquire our factory and offered you one million yuan," the factory manager said.
"Preposterous!"
Kang You trembled with anger. "I see now. From the very beginning, it was a trap set by Yunduan Company. They deliberately gave me these difficult orders, and when the factory ran out of funds and couldn't continue production, Yunduan Company intended to acquire my factory at a low price."
"Yunduan Company is too malicious!"
Li Min was also very angry. "It's not just a funding issue now. We might not even be able to keep the factory."
Despite their anger, Kang You and Li Min were helpless.
Yunduan Company held significant influence in the pharmaceutical industry, and they were no match for them.
Despair and helplessness appeared on their faces.
"Dad, Mom, let me help you!"
Xiaoxin said.
"We know you want to help the factory, but you're just a student now. How can you help us?"
Li Min took Xiaoxin's hand and said affectionately, "Xiaoxin, listen to your mother. Don't get involved in the factory matters. Study hard; you are the hope of our entire family."
"I really can help you."
Seeing that they didn't believe her, Xiaoxin became a little anxious.
"We appreciate your good intentions. Listen to your mother and don't get involved in this matter," Li Min said.
"That's right. Yunduan Company has malicious methods; you cannot get entangled in this," Kang You said with a serious expression.
