Zhuang Dahai and Chang Hui each have their own selfish desires and are not suitable for each other. It is better for them to get divorced.

Zhuang Li didn't say a word of advice. He patted his old father on the shoulder and said softly, "Dad, I'll buy you a villa. You wait at home."

"Hey, how about I go to the company with you?" Zhuang Dahai stood up worriedly.

"No, I can do it." Zhuang Li walked to the entrance, fixed his hair in front of the mirror, took out a small tube of perfume, sprayed it in the air, and then walked through.

Chang Hui curled her lips and sneered: "Humph, you're still dressing up when you're about to die!"

"My son is handsome, so he has to dress up. What's wrong with that? Come on, I want to divorce you! When you brought Chang Dongming to marry me, I helped you pay off your 80,000 yuan debt. Why didn't you say I was too kind back then? So it's okay to spend money on you and Chang Dongming, but not on my son, right? You have to understand clearly that if it weren't for me, you and your son wouldn't even have a place to live, and Chang Dongming wouldn't be able to go to such a good university. Why are you still not satisfied?"

The noisy sound came from behind and disappeared outside the closed elevator door.

Zhuang Li stood in the middle of the elevator, adjusting his tie against the smooth metal wall, completely ignoring the looks of pity or contempt from the people around him.

At 8:50, he walked into the company slowly.

The few employees who had not yet resigned all stood up and looked at him eagerly.

One of the female staff members pointed in the direction of the reception room and said timidly, "Boss Zhuang, President Xuan from Haiming Group came early this morning and has been waiting for you for over fifty minutes. Please come in!"

She had lived for over twenty years, but this was the first time she had met such a prominent figure. After all, the Haiming Group was a giant in the communications industry!

"Mr. Zhuang, what is Mr. Xuan here for?" another employee asked anxiously.

Zhuang Li waved his hand without answering, but quickly explained, "I sent a text message to the creditors yesterday, asking them to come and collect the money at nine o'clock. You are responsible for receiving them."

After he finished speaking, he opened the door and said to Xuan Ming, who was sitting on the sofa drinking tea, "Please sit down and wait for a while. I have some things to take care of."

"It's okay, go ahead and do your work." Xuan Ming didn't mind being ignored by the curly-haired boy. As long as he could stay in the same place with him, close enough, he felt at ease.

"I'll be there soon." Zhuang Li closed the door of the reception room and walked towards the president's office.

Several employees were confused by him. The boss went back to the office to take care of official business, leaving Mr. Xuan to continue sitting on the bench. Isn't this bad?

At this moment, the company's vice president, Feng Bai, walked in with a briefcase in hand. He pushed open the door to the president's office and asked loudly, "Zhuang Li, I heard you're going to pay back those creditors today?"

"Close the door." Zhuang Li said in a light tone.

Feng Bai closed the door, walked to the sofa and sat down, saying with a guilty look on his face, "If I hadn't been so reckless, the company wouldn't be in this state. I originally invested in the company with technology, holding a 25% stake. Now that the company is bankrupt, the biggest responsibility lies with me, and I don't want these shares anymore..."

Zhuang Li interrupted his hypocritical words: "You're not being too aggressive, you're doing it on purpose. The company is just starting out, there's no need to spend tens of millions to buy high-end production equipment, nor is there any need to raise funds to expand the business. Taking it step by step is the safest way. Private financing is illegal, don't you know?"

"You agreed to the financing back then." Feng Bai slowly put away the guilt on his face.

"I agreed because I trust your ability, but I didn't expect that your purpose was not to start a business with me, but to bankrupt me. How did I offend Tu Si that he would be so deliberate against me? What benefits did he give you?" Zhuang Li asked straight to the point.

Feng Bai's expression changed slightly, but then he calmed down again. "Are you investigating me? But even if you knew the truth, it's useless. We are very cautious and you can't get any evidence. All the contracts were signed by you, and the legal consequences are borne by you alone. What does it have to do with me? I didn't embezzle a single cent from the company. I worked for you for a year for nothing. What else do you want?"

Feng Bai took out an employment contract and sneered, "See? You still owe me 350,000 yuan in salary."

Zhuang Li didn't have any evidence, just a few chat screenshots, and then he threw out a contract: "This is a voluntary share relinquishment agreement. Please sign it. If you bankrupt me, Tusi will give you more benefits."

The company went bankrupt, so Feng Bai certainly wouldn't be attached to these shares and signed immediately.

At this time, there was a noisy sound outside. It was the financiers coming.

Zhuang Li ushered them into the conference room, pulled out a thick stack of contracts, and said succinctly, "Now I'm giving you two choices: First, take the principal, no interest. Second, keep the principal in the company account. I'll give you shares based on the amount. After a year, if the company makes a profit, you'll get the dividends you're entitled to."

The noisy crowd fell silent for a moment.

Chang Hui, surrounded by several young women, screamed, "Don't believe his lies! He even sold his house to raise eight million. If you don't take the money today, you won't get it later! He's lying to you!"

"What? He has eight million? Why don't you pay him back now?"

"Eight million isn't enough for him to pay back! We've financed him with tens of millions in total!"

A group of people were so anxious that they rushed to the stage with their teeth and claws bared, as if they wanted to tear Zhuang Li to pieces.

Feng Bai stood at the door of the conference room, took a picture of the messy scene with his mobile phone, and then sent it to his real boss Tu Si.

In order to bring down Zhuang Li, Tu Si transferred him back from overseas and set up this trap. But he had no idea why the other party would spend so much energy to deal with a small person.

Zhuang Li is stupid and conceited, and there is really nothing outstanding about him.

The little-known Zhuang Li, standing on the podium, sneered. "Do you know what it means when one's debts are wiped out? If I jump from here, you'll get nothing."

The creditors, having heard about his failed suicide attempt a long time ago, were so excited that they froze in their places.

"If you want to get the principal, please sign the contract on the left. If you want to continue to invest, please sign the contract on the right. After signing, I will take you to the finance office to collect the money." Zhuang Li pointed at the two stacks of contracts on the table with his slender fingertips.

Everyone's eyes were on the contract on the left. They just wanted to get their principal back and didn't want to continue investing.

This small, shabby company clearly has no future! Is it that easy to produce high-end phones? They were only able to raise funds because they were fooled by Feng Bai's talk.

"I sign the contract on the left!"

"Me too!"

"Bring me a pen! Let's sign!"

"What if you don't pay me after I sign?"

"Let me see. This contract is acceptable. I'm voluntarily giving up the interest. If I lose the interest, I lose it. It's good to get my principal back!"

After hearing what the knowledgeable person said, the other creditors crowded to the left side of the long table to get the contract.

Chang Hui also squeezed in and couldn't wait to take out the ballpoint pen she brought with her.

Before she left, she called Chang Dongming and told him that Zhuang Li was going to pay back the money. Chang Dongming repeatedly asked her not to press Zhuang Li to pay back the debt and to keep the money with him. Maybe when he reopened the company in the future, they could get a good share of the dividends.

Chang Hui agreed reluctantly, but when she arrived at the company, she immediately ignored her son's advice and hurriedly signed the contract to waive the interest.

The noisy meeting room gradually quieted down. More than a hundred creditors held a contract in their hands and stared at Zhuang Li eagerly.

Zhuang Li led them to the door. Seeing Feng Bai filming a video, he was not angry at all. He just smiled with interest.

"Come with me to get the money." He walked towards the reception room.

Knowing who was sitting in the reception room, the hearts of several employees responsible for maintaining order suddenly started beating wildly.

No way, could it be what they thought? Was President Xuan here to help President Zhuang pay off his debts? Was President Xuan planning to acquire this company? Wouldn't that make them employees of a subsidiary of the Haiming Group? A triple jump in life had happened so quickly?

Feng Bai also followed, wanting to see what Zhuang Li would use to pay back the money.

As far as he knew, the company's accounts were completely empty, and they still owed tens of millions to manufacturers and banks. If Zhuang Li couldn't hold on and jumped from the building, President Tu would have given him an additional 10 million in bonuses. There might still be hope of getting that money.

Thinking of this, Feng Bai narrowed his eyes and smiled, but his smug expression turned into disbelief in the next moment.

He recognized the tall man sitting in the reception room as Xuan Ming, the CEO of Haiming Group and Tu's rival. Why would he patronize this nearly bankrupt company?

Feng Bai stood there stiffly.

Zhuang Li walked over to the sofa with a stack of contracts and sat down next to Xuan Ming. He bumped his shoulder against his broad shoulder and said matter-of-factly, "I'll do the accounting, and you help me fill out the checks. Thank you for your hard work as our company's treasurer today."

Xuan Ming reacted immediately, took out his checkbook without saying a word, and said gently, "It's not hard, just settle your debt first."

He had come today precisely for this reason. Curly was under immense psychological pressure, and he was afraid that Curly would jump off a building if he continued to think too much, so he mobilized 200 million yuan in working capital overnight just to pay Curly off his debts.

"Li Youcai, the principal is 800,000." Zhuang Li spread out a contract and read it.

Li Youcai, holding a copy of the contract, immediately squeezed in from the back of the crowd, raised his hands and shouted, "I, I, I, I am Li Youcai!"

He was lucky to get his principal back, so he didn't dare to make a fuss anymore. If he continued to make a fuss, the boss would go to jail or jump off the building, and he would get nothing.

Xuan Ming checked the two contracts and filled out the check neatly. Curly leaned over to watch him write, and the warm air from his breath brushed against the back of his hand, making him feel itchy inside.

This was the happiest time he had ever spent money.

Some creditors recognized Xuan Ming and muttered, "Doesn't this guy look familiar?"

"Like Mr. Xuan from Haiming."

"This is Mr. Xuan from Haiming! I just saw him on the TV news yesterday!"

"Oh, why is he here?"

"He even helped Zhuang Li pay off his debts!"

"Could it be that this company was acquired by the Haiming Group?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the creditors, who were more knowledgeable in the financial field, immediately went into a tizzy, waving their contracts and shouting, "We don't want the principal anymore! We want to continue investing and get dividends at the end of the year!"

"Yes, yes, we don't want the principal anymore!"

"We want to change the contract!"

The group of people became excited again.

Even Feng Bai felt a pang of heartache. If Xuan Ming acquired this company and continued to increase his investment, the 25% stake he had just given up would likely bring him tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions!

Mr. Tu’s 10 million bonus is simply not worth mentioning in the face of such huge profits!

Feng Bai was so exhausted he nearly vomited blood. It wasn't until then that he realized he'd been tricked by Zhuang Li! He'd deliberately concealed the news of Haiming Group's acquisition of the company, tricking him into signing a contract to relinquish his shares, leaving him with nothing but a fortune.

Zhuang Li is not stupid at all! He is very cunning!

It’s a pity that the contract has been signed and stamped, and it is impossible to go back on your word.

The bodyguards brought by Xuan Ming immediately walked out of the conference room next door and isolated the noisy crowd at a safe distance.

These creditors didn't dare to provoke a big shot like Xuan Ming. Even though they felt extremely remorseful, they could only take the check and leave, secretly cursing Zhuang Li in their hearts:

Damn profiteer, he deserves to go bankrupt!

Oh, that’s not right. He is so cunning, he will definitely make a lot of money in the future!

Fuck, I can’t think about it anymore, it gives me heartache!

After getting their hard-earned money, these creditors left with their hands on their chests, as if they had lost 100 million.

Only Chang Hui didn't know Xuan Ming, nor did she care about his background, and she didn't understand what investment and acquisition were. She got the money and happily went to divorce Zhuang Dahai.
