Fu Daishi was so absorbed in listening that he asked his daughter-in-law to elaborate. Lu Qing said, "For example, building a subway would increase housing prices, while building a garbage dump would do the opposite." She turned around and took the document that she had rushed out that afternoon and handed it to Fu Daishi, and continued, "We have been trying to get the port oil pipeline project in this city for many years, and I heard that the higher-ups will make a decision soon."

Fu Daishi said, "It is said that many places are striving for it. Tell me what you think."

Lu Qing opened the information, which showed the specific parameters of each port. "Although Port A is the largest and has the most advanced facilities, it loses in terms of water depth, shallow draft, and poor conditions. Port B just started fully automated assembly three years ago, and its various designs should be in preparation for new energy vehicles to go overseas. It is unlikely to launch new projects in the short term. Port C has similar conditions to ours and is the biggest competitor. It doesn't seem to have any shortcomings at the moment. However, I noticed that the Human Resources Department of Taihe Energy has been recruiting local preliminary engineers since last month. I think as a large crude oil buyer, Taihe's actions are not groundless."

Lu Qing opened the map in the report and said, "Please look at the map. If we want to build an oil pipeline, whether it is one or two, Dongxiang is the only way. Then our real estate project will be difficult to carry out, and what's more troublesome is..."

"Of course the price will plummet. Good, good, good! Sister-in-law is worthy of being a top student at Cambridge, you have done a great job. In the future, you should also give more advice to Yuanji, because he is still young and inexperienced. As for Yanheng, he has to take care of the affairs of the entire group, and sometimes he is not as meticulous as you. If you have any ideas in the future, feel free to tell me, I am all ears."

"Dad, you really make Lu Qing ashamed. I wanted Yan Heng to report this to you, but he happened to be away. I went directly to Yuan Ji, but I was afraid that he would think too much. It is a blessing for me as your daughter-in-law that you can be so polite. You have great connections, so please pay attention to the follow-up news. Maybe my judgment is not correct."

As he was speaking, Ming Sicun came over and asked Fu Daishi to answer the phone, and Lu Qing went to rest without mentioning anything else.

Fu Daishi actually had an idea in mind. As soon as Fu Yuanji proposed the Dongxiang plan, he used his connections to find out a lot of things. He originally wanted to see if Fu Yuanji was able to see the risks of this matter on his own, but he didn't expect Fu Yuanji to formally submit a plan report at the meeting. As for the eldest brother, he never interfered in the affairs of the second brother in order to avoid suspicion, but he didn't expect that it was his daughter-in-law Lin Luqing who brought it up.

The east wing where Fu Yanheng and Lu Qing live is consistent with the style of the mansion from the outside, with French architecture, creamy white walls, and large floor-to-ceiling windows. Lu Qing's favorite part is the bedroom on the second floor, which has a terrace, which is especially like a college dormitory. When the roses bloom, Lu Qing likes to drink a cup of coffee on the terrace and look at the setting sun, as if she has returned to her student days.

Since getting married, Fu Yanheng has lived in his study room ten out of ten days. Lu Qing sat in front of the dressing table, looking at herself without makeup. She was almost thirty, and her youth was about to pass away. Life seemed to be like the mirror in front of her. The bright and beautiful appearance was an illusion. The more she used the night cream, the more expensive it was. She smiled less and less.

Where did the always-laughing Lin Luqing go? Did she stay in Cambridge forever? Cambridge, England, university, campus, the people and things that Luqing wanted to forget always came to her in her dreams at midnight. Luqing dared not think about it anymore. There was a place in her heart that she could not touch. Occasionally, a gust of wind would blow across the wound, and it would still hurt like a piercing pain.

When Lu Qing received a call from her mother, she returned to China from Cambridge as soon as possible. Before she even put down her luggage at home, her mother started crying to her.

It turned out that Lu Qing's father's business had problems. The company he invested in went bankrupt and he lost all his money. This was not a big deal, but when it rained, two ships from the shipping company were hijacked by illegal armed elements at sea in Africa, and both the cargo and the ships were lost.

In addition to the loss of the ship and the compensation for the loss of the cargo, the indirect consequence was a sharp drop in the stock price. Now someone is secretly buying up Lin's shares, and it will soon exceed the 45% held by the Lin family. Seeing that the family business could not be saved, Lin's father fell ill due to anger.

Lu Qing hugged her mother, wiped away her tears, and comforted her mother, "Mom, things have come to this, don't be sad, it's more important to treat Dad. We have to be strong! As long as our family is safe and together, that's enough."

Mother took Lu Qing to the hospital. Father was lying on the bed, his eyes hollow from his high spirits. Seeing Lu Qing coming, Father Lin tried to smile, "Qing'er, why are you back? Dad is fine. Go back to school as soon as possible!"

Lin Luqing's tears welled up all of a sudden. This was the father who gave birth to her and raised her, the father who treated her like a treasure since she was a child! The father who wanted to pick the stars in the sky and give them to his daughter! Luqing ran over and hugged her father, "Dad, don't worry, things will definitely turn around, just rest assured and recover!" Luqing went to ask the doctor about her father's condition. When she came back, she saw through the glass on the ward door that her parents were in a daze, frowning. Luqing felt at a loss outside the door, not knowing how to comfort her parents.

In the evening, Lu Qing returned home and discussed solutions to the problem with several veterans of the company.

Manager Zhang from the Finance Department said, "The company's cash flow is also in crisis. Some time ago, someone just started buying Lin's stocks, and Mr. Lin took a lot of money to make up for it, but it was still not enough, so he used the company's money. If something really goes wrong, I will also have to go to jail."

Lin Luqing asked what other channels there were for raising funds. Manager Zhang said, "Under normal circumstances, we could borrow 1 billion yuan. But now everyone is pushing us down. The bank is also afraid that the Lin Group will be unstable, so they said they need to study it. By the time they figure it out, it will be too late."

Lu Qing calmed everyone down, and after a while, she dressed up and went with Manager Zhang to several wealthy people she knew to seek help. The world is fickle, and there are always more people who add icing on the cake than those who help in times of need. Some of these people avoided meeting her, and some politely refused.

When Manager Zhang sent Lu Qing home, she was already exhausted. When she got out of the car, she saw a Rolls-Royce parked in front of the door. When she was wondering who it was, the housekeeper came to tell her that there was a guest in the living room. Lu Qing approached and heard a man say, "Mrs. Lin, please consider this matter. First, our two old men had this idea when they were alive. Second, this will benefit both families."

Mother Lin said, "Mr. Fu, thank you for your kindness, but my daughter and your son have no emotional foundation. This marriage is a bit too sudden. I am afraid that the child will not be able to accept it."

The man stood up and said, "Please persuade her, this is the most appropriate way." Then he left. Lu Qing didn't want to meet him in such an awkward way, so she hid behind the screen. After the man left, Lu Qing came out and asked her mother what was going on.
