Gu Jinyan was exhausted. He rubbed his temples and felt a deep sense of powerlessness. At this moment, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind. Perhaps he could ask some members of the family for help.

Gu Jinyan immediately called several uncles, but to his disappointment, they all rejected his request for various reasons.

"Jin Yan, it's not that uncle doesn't want to help you, it's just that money is tight recently and the funds have been invested in other projects."

"Jin Yan, you know that my uncle's company has been undergoing transformation and upgrading recently, and it's in need of money..."

Hearing the perfunctory tone on the other end of the phone, Gu Jinyan's heart gradually sank. He knew that it was not that they really had no money, but that they were unwilling to help him at this time.

"Am I really going to watch the company go bankrupt?" Gu Jinyan murmured to himself, his eyes filled with despair and unwillingness.

At this time, the office door was gently pushed open, and Su Li walked in. Seeing Gu Jinyan's haggard appearance, she asked distressedly: "What's wrong? Is the company's business not going well?"

Gu Jinyan looked at Su Li's concerned eyes, feeling mixed emotions. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, nothing came out.

"I'm fine." Gu Jinyan forced a smile, "I'm just a little tired."

Su Li did not ask any further questions. She walked behind Gu Jinyan and gently massaged his temples.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine." Su Li said softly, "Let's work together to find a solution. We will definitely be able to get through this difficult time."

Gu Jinyan closed his eyes and enjoyed Su Li's gentle touch. He knew that Su Li had been silently supporting him, which made him feel a little comforted.

"Su Li..." Gu Jinyan held Su Li's hand and said in a low voice, "I..." Gu Jinyan was about to say something, but Su Li's hand seemed to have magic, smoothing out the anxiety between his brows. "Whatever happens, we will face it together." She said firmly, as if she was cheering Gu Jinyan up, and also as if she was cheering herself up.

Gu Jinyan struggled for a long time, but finally told him the company's current predicament. Su Li listened quietly without interrupting, and only spoke slowly after Gu Jinyan finished speaking: "I still have some assets brought by my marriage, which can be cashed in first to solve the urgent problem."

Gu Jinyan was stunned. He didn't expect Su Li to make such a suggestion. He raised his head suddenly, his tone full of disbelief: "What are you doing? Why are you using your money?"

Su Li walked up to Gu Jinyan and looked at him firmly: "Because this is our home, your company is also my responsibility. I believe you can get through this difficult time, I just want to do my best to help you."

"Nonsense!" Gu Jinyan stood up suddenly and said sternly, "This is my company. I can figure it out myself. I don't need you to interfere!"

Su Li was startled by Gu Jinyan's sudden anger. She didn't understand why Gu Jinyan reacted so violently. She bit her lip and said aggrievedly, "I just want to help you..."

"I don't need it!" Gu Jinyan interrupted her with a cold tone, "Do you think money can solve all problems? You are looking down on me and don't believe in my ability!"

Su Li's heart felt like it was stabbed by a needle, the pain was unbearable. She never thought that her good intentions would be regarded as distrust and insult in Gu Jinyan's eyes.

"Gu Jinyan, you..." Su Li's voice choked, tears welled up in her eyes. She wanted to explain, but found that any words seemed pale and powerless at this moment.

Gu Jinyan looked at Su Li's hurt eyes, and a trace of regret rose in his heart. But his pride and self-esteem made it impossible for him to apologize. He turned his head away and said stiffly: "I will handle this matter myself, you don't have to worry about it."

After saying that, Gu Jinyan turned and walked into the study, leaving Su Li standing there alone, tears silently sliding down her face. In the room, there was only silence and an oppressive atmosphere, like an invisible net, binding the two tightly and making it impossible to breathe.

Just then, a quick doorbell rang, breaking the deadlock...

The doorbell rang again, interrupting the stagnant atmosphere in the room. Su Li took a deep breath, trying to calm the surging emotions in her heart, raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face, and turned to open the door. Standing outside the door was the housekeeper, who looked anxious and said hurriedly: "Young Madam, the old lady asks you and the young master to come downstairs immediately. President Wang of the industry association is here."

Su Li was slightly startled. Why did the president of the industry association suddenly come to visit? She suppressed her doubts, nodded, turned and walked to the study, and knocked on the door gently, "Jin Yan, President Wang is here."

In the study, Gu Jinyan was also surprised by this sudden visit. He stood up and walked to the desk, sorted out his emotions, and replied in a deep voice: "Got it, let's go down."

In the living room, Gu's grandmother was having a pleasant conversation with President Wang. Seeing Gu Jinyan and Su Li coming downstairs, President Wang stood up with a smile and said in a gentle tone: "Jinyan, I came here today to bring you good news. Regarding your company's recent difficulties, I have discussed with several directors of the association, and they are all willing to lend a hand."

Gu Jinyan and Su Li looked at each other, and saw surprise and a glimmer of hope in each other's eyes. Gu Jinyan quickly said, "President Wang, what do you mean..."

President Wang smiled and nodded. "I propose that the association take the lead and join forces with several strong companies to jointly establish a special fund to provide financial support for your company. Of course, this money is not given for free. You need to complete some task indicators assigned by the association in the future."

After hearing this, Gu Jinyan's heart suddenly lit up with hope. He knew that as long as they could overcome the current difficulties, the company's future development prospects would still be bright. He was about to agree, but he heard Su Li beside him whispered: "President Wang, I wonder what this task indicator specifically means..."

President Wang looked at Su Li, with a hint of admiration in his eyes, and said slowly: "This project requires the joint efforts of you and your wife to complete..." He paused, looking at Su Li and Gu Jinyan meaningfully, "Of course, there are still some details that we need to discuss in private..."

Su Li's question made President Wang smile even more. He waved at the two of them and said, "Come, let's talk in the study."

In the study, President Wang motioned for Su Li and Gu Jinyan to sit down, and then he slowly explained the whole story: "As far as I know, the one who maliciously targeted your company this time was your biggest competitor - Company A. On the surface, they were seeking to form a marriage with another company, but in fact, that company was just an empty shell. Their real purpose was to steal your company's core technology through the marriage."

"What?!" Gu Jinyan stood up suddenly after hearing this, his eyes full of disbelief, "How dare they?!"

Su Li was also shocked, but soon calmed down. She looked at President Wang and said calmly, "President Wang, do you have any evidence for what you said?"
