Qin Xiang wasn't the only one wondering where the money came from.

Fang Yu and Fang Ai were also very puzzled.

This building will cost over a million US dollars. Given Jiang Yue and Qin Li's financial situation, if they come up with that amount of money now, they won't be able to continue their other businesses.

At first, Fang Yu didn't know who built this big hotel.

I thought the government paid for the repairs.

Later, I heard that Qin Li would go there from time to time.

The construction team was also a construction company under Qin Li's control. He immediately sensed something was wrong, and after a closer investigation, he discovered that the people involved in this restaurant were even more powerful than he had imagined.

He was kept in the dark about this news for several months, until the main structure was completely repaired before he received the information.

After receiving the news, he discovered it was related to Jiang Yue and Qin Li; Fang Yu had also prepared a large restaurant. However, his restaurant cost far less than Jiang Yue's, only one-tenth of the money.

In the past month or two, he and Mr. An have also been discussing cooperation.

Because there is still plenty of land available for large hotels. This main building isn't very big, but they can build adjacent buildings, connect them together, and build more later.

Fang Yu went to see Mr. An again.

Mr. An only learned a few days ago that the Smith family had invested ten million. Upon hearing the news, his expression turned extremely grim.

The Western fast food business had been taken over by Jiang Yue and Qin Li for twenty years, and they didn't pay them much money. They only paid franchise fees and some copyright fees for each store they opened.

He was very unhappy.

If it were him, it would cost at least a million yuan.

His family had made hundreds of millions of yuan in China, but they invested another ten million yuan here, only to take a 10% stake. This made him think that his brother was a fool.

He had tried to find ways to ruin these collaborations, but his grandfather always sided with his brother.

His parents weren't able to help much either.

He had originally planned to take advantage of his brother's presence in China to help his father obtain the inheritance rights, but he failed several times in his attempts.

Grandpa was more cunning and shrewd than they imagined.

And these things led others to confess on their behalf.

Otherwise, he and his parents would be finished.

Jiang Yue breathed a long sigh of relief after returning to her office.

In reality, she and Qin Li only had management rights over the hotel, but they only received 50% of the profits; the other 50% had to be given to the state. Of that 50%, 20% had to be shared with other people.

However, Jiang Yue was already extremely happy that she was able to get this done.

To outsiders, they seem to be making a fortune, but they actually don't have much cash on hand right now. It's only because Smith invested ten million yuan.

They are now really struggling to make ends meet.

She had seen Fang Yu's restaurant from afar. She had also seen the construction blueprints for Fang Yu's restaurant.

That restaurant was only so-so.

It's located far from here, not in a bustling area.

There's simply no comparison.

Jiang Yue snapped out of her thoughts and continued with her work.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the college entrance examination is getting closer and closer.

Jiang Yue was still a little nervous.

She's going to school tomorrow to take a monthly exam.

Jiang Yue did not participate in the previous exams; instead, she took the exam papers and took them herself after her classmates had finished theirs.
