A Graduation Gift Chapter 279 Was She Pregnant (Part Two)

'The problems at the Qin Group started when I had to leave the company unsupervised for several
days due to me being detained on charges of pushing Michelle down railings. To make matters worse,
while I was away, someone lured away our important employees with promises of a higher salary to
leave the company without my knowledge. Thus, all of this leads the Qin Group to its downfall. If it
weren't for these problems, the company would have been flourishing, ' she thought to herself.

"What attracts my attention is your talent in design. If you come back to this field and continue to do
more architectural designs, coupled with my financial support, I believe that the Qin Group will be back
on top, putting out ground-breaking work in no time."

Charlie had a rather relaxed smile on his face knowing that she had already started to consider his
investment proposal.

"It is quite normal for any start-up company to get hit by an economic downturn once in a while, but it
doesn't mean that the company cannot bounce back in the future. There is no need for the bank to
doubt the Qin Group's ability to pay off the loan. With your talent pool and work ethic, I believe that you
can earn a return that will be sufficient to eventually repay the loan. My first plan is to help you repay
the bank loan and then find someone to secure another loan for you. This time, you can loan more
money for the comprehensive improvement of the Qin Group. I will have my assistant draw up the
specific details of our cooperation plan with you and your company. What do you say?"

As he put forward his own cooperation plan, Charlie carefully observed her facial expression.

The biggest worry in Cassandra's mind right now was that loan. Charlie made a judgment call and
decided to invest in her company in compliance to the specific predicament the Qin Group was in.
Suffice it to say, his investment would give her a way out of this predicament about the loan.

"Mr. Ke, you've been very frank and straight-forward from the on-set. If I don't agree with you, I will
come off as a little petty."



She smiled humbly and nodded in agreement. 'Mr. Ke seems to be an upstanding and reliable person.
The fact that he has aligned to the vision and mission of the company will make him a good partner.'
Cassandra felt reassured by the outcome of the meeting.

'I am not really good at the management part of it all. But If he sends other assistants to help me
manage the Qin Group, I will be able to pour all my energy and focus into the other professional
departments of the company.

Besides, my aim is not to earn short-term profits for the Qin Group right now. As long as the company
can maintain a healthy development rate, I will be satisfied. I believe there is still a long way to go for
the expansion of the company. So there is no need to rush things right now, ' she wondered.

Although he didn't specifically mention how much money he would invest, Charlie assured that the sum
of money would help the Qin Group overcome the capital turnover. This lightened her psychological
burden by a large margin. In the near future, she could just focus on improving the quality of the
products instead of worrying about the money all the time.

At first, Cassandra didn't reserve much hope for this conversation, but to her surprise, it ended up in
becoming a win-win situation for the both of them.

This cooperation would not only save the Qin Group from imminent bankruptcy, but also temporarily
help her solve the loan crisis. Apart from that, she also received another loan through this cooperation,
thus preserving the financial stability of the company and lifting the burden on her shoulders to a
certain extent.

"Well, I hope to have a pleasant cooperation with you in the future, Miss Qin. I will have my assistant
break down the details with you shortly. Although I usually live abroad, please do not hesitate to contact
me if you have any questions or concerns."



Wearing a content smile on his face, he mused, 'Cassandra is smart, but she is far from being shrewd
enough to guess the motive behind my gesture.

It seems that the declining tendency of the Qin Group made her panic. I'm not surprised that when I
made it clear that I wanted to invest in her company willingly, she believed everything I had said without
carefully considering all the relevant facts and details. Indeed, women are sensuous creatures and she
is no exception.

The things fathers do for their daughters. For the sake of my own daughter's happiness, I have to
violate my personal principles and play the bad guy to cheat Cassandra this time.'

With Charlie's assistance, Cassandra immediately stopped worrying about that loan. The next step for
her was to recruit new diligent employees.

She had learned a valuable lesson from her previous job-hopping employees, so this time she decided
to sign a contract with each employee, stipulating that the employees would not be able to unilaterally
terminate the contract. With this assurance, she believed that her company would avoid the recurrence
of the last job-hopping incident.

Through these vital changes being made to the company, Cassandra also made aware of who could be
put in an important position and who could be trusted. This led her to appoint Maggie as her assistant.

It was commonly known that business was like a war without bullets. Running a business was far from
being as straightforward as she thought it would be. There were just as many challenges as there were
opportunities in business. This time she was fortunate enough to meet an investor like Charlie, but in
the long-run she would really need to be a lot more careful.

Meanwhile at the President's office of the Tang Group, Rufus received an urgent message from Jasper.



"Your Aunt Michelle has made a full recovery from her injury. I have decided to take her back abroad
with me. If you have any concerns, please feel free contact to me."

Thinking of the dialogue he shared with his aunt the night before, a trace of smile crept into Rufus's
face.

"Rufus, is Cassandra the only person you are willing to get married to? Can't it be someone else? I
must admit that she may be good for you, but if you choose to be with her, you will not only have to
consider many important factors, but also need to face many difficulties. Are you sure you can handle
the repercussions?"

Michelle frowned, and her eyes were filled with concern for her nephew.

'Rufus is my only nephew. Thanks to Cassandra, his reputation has been dragged to the mud. Is she
really worth all the trouble?' she wondered.
