No matter the era, there are always some astute people who, even in the worst of times, can still make money.
Su Xiaonuan is like a trendsetter for making money. After hearing that she bought a restaurant, people immediately followed her example.
Of course, there are also some misers who feel that it is safest to keep their money in the bank. They would not be willing to use their earnings to buy a shop, just like Xiao Moran, who clearly did the math and felt that renting a shop was more cost-effective.
Back then, rent was relatively cheap, unlike those unscrupulous landlords later on who would raise shop rents exorbitantly, and if a business was doing well, they would raise the rent to an extreme degree, so that all the money earned by the businesses would end up in the landlord's pocket.
Therefore, those bosses who followed Su Xiaonuan's lead were the biggest beneficiaries in the end.
Su Xiaonuan now has a lot of savings. She not only bought the Jiuya Restaurant building, but also the Mixue Nuanyin building, and even the warehouse for delivering ingredients. In the future, she will have no pressure and will no longer have to pay rent to the landlord.
Once she has accumulated enough funds, she will continue to buy real estate. As someone who has been through it all, she knows that these properties will appreciate dramatically in value in the future.
Xiao Moran wasn't idle either; he bought all the factory buildings. For him, it was a piece of cake. His factory was like a money-printing machine; as soon as the products came out, money rolled in.
There's only one like it in the whole country; it's hard for him not to make money.
......
Lan Guangxue and Li Chunxiang left the company after making money; otherwise, there would be no more profit to be made.
Lan Yin secretly transferred all the assets that were supposed to be transferred.
Even with guidance from the former finance manager, Xie Zhi still couldn't defeat Lan Yin.
This woman is very good at scheming and winning people's hearts. She wins over Xie Zhi's men with small favors and bribes. With the help of Xiang Qiuyun and Wang Xiaobao, as well as the strong support of her parents, she has truly sidelined Xie Zhi.
With the situation hopeless, Lan Yin filed for divorce from Xie Zhi.
Unaware of the truth, Xie Zhi was overjoyed and immediately agreed to the divorce, so that he could be with his new lover openly.
Xie Zhi never expected that what he now owned was not only an empty shell company, but also that Yin Yin had used his real estate as collateral. He never imagined that Lan Yin was so shrewd.
The employees who cooperated with Lanyin in transferring assets also resigned en masse, but they had received benefits from Lanyin.
Xie Zhi, a nouveau riche, is no match for Lan Yin, a scheming woman.
Even if Xie Zhi managed to bring back his former finance manager, it was too late; in the end, his new love also left him.
The company went bankrupt, was insolvent, and all its properties were sealed off.
That day, after dropping the children off, Aunt Chen went to buy groceries. When she returned, she saw a lot of people watching the commotion. The house was sealed off, so she couldn't go in. Xie Zhi was also kicked out and collapsed to the ground, crying bitterly.
The neighbors were all whispering among themselves.
"Look, this is what happens when you're greedy for beauty. So much money, and now that woman has emptied it all out."
"He deserved it." Someone spat at Xie Zhi. "This is retribution."
"Sigh, it's always better for people to be honest and upright. Look at him, a sudden nouveau riche, his face is so arrogant. He has bodyguards following him every day. No matter how much you guard against them, it's still hard to guard against a thief in your own home. Didn't that vicious woman and her family bankrupt him?"
"I heard that he has a new lover. After that woman emptied his pockets, she filed for divorce. This lustful man thought that the woman was doing a good deed and immediately signed the divorce papers. Only after the divorce did he realize that he was already insolvent. It's really pitiful. He's lived to this age and has two children. Now he doesn't even have a home to shelter him from the wind and rain."
“There’s always a reason why someone is pitiful. They don’t deserve sympathy, but those two children are really in a bad situation.” Someone sighed. “Before, even though they were beaten and scolded, at least they could eat their fill and stay warm. Now they’ll probably have to beg for food.”
Aunt Chen's basket of vegetables fell to the ground. If what everyone says is true, how will Xiao Tian and Xiao Li live their lives from now on?
After the onlookers left, Aunt Chen walked up to Xie Zhi and, seeing that he seemed a bit off, asked, "Boss, is what they said true? Does that mean we can't go in? Do you have any other places? Can we move somewhere else?"
Xie Zhi raised his head, his gaze blank, staring at Aunt Chen for a long while before recognizing her. He raised his hand and waved it, roaring, "Gone, everything's gone..."
After saying that, he collapsed to the ground in a cocoon-like position, his back twitching. He couldn't even cry now.
Aunt Chen turned and ran. She was going to find Su Xiaonuan. Only Su Xiaonuan could help the two children. She was just an employee and could find work anywhere, even if the wages weren't as high. She was going to beg Su Xiaonuan to take in Xiaotian and Xiaoli.
Zhang Yulan doesn't like to go out. Except for going out for a walk with Aunt Zhang, she spends the rest of her time at home doing handicrafts or growing vegetables. Ye Mei also accompanies Zhang Yulan at home every day to do handicrafts and housework. The two in-laws have endless things to talk about while working together. Therefore, they are not fond of visiting each other's homes and are unaware of what happened to the Xie family.
Su Ming was watering the flowers in the yard when he saw Aunt Chen running over. He immediately dropped the hose and ran to open the door for her.
"Something's happened! Something's happened!" Aunt Chen shouted as she entered the room. "I want to see Xiao Nuan! I want to see Xiao Nuan!"
"Aunt Chen, don't worry, Xiao Nuan is still sleeping. I'll go upstairs to wake her." Su Ming also wanted his daughter to sleep a little longer, but seeing Aunt Chen like this, he was afraid he couldn't wait a moment longer, so he started running.
Zhang Yulan and Ye Mei were watering the vegetable garden in the backyard when they heard Aunt Chen's voice and ran to the front yard.
"Xiao Chen, what's wrong?" the two asked at the same time with concern. They thought to themselves, at this time, the children should all be at school, so it shouldn't be something to do with the children, right? But, it's hard to say, what if the children were beaten by their wicked stepmother again?
"I...I..." Aunt Chen didn't know where to begin, and stammered for a long time without being able to say anything.
Su Xiaonuan had already run over. "Aunt Chen, is something wrong with Xiaotian and Xiaoli?"
"Didn't Xiaotian and Xiaoli go to school?" Su Ming asked. "I saw them when I dropped the kids off."
Before Aunt Chen could speak, tears streamed down her face.
Everyone was so anxious that they shouted, "Tell us quickly!"
Aunt Chen then recounted what had just happened, and knelt down before Su Xiaonuan with a thud. "Xiaonuan, this time, you really have to take in Xiaotian and Xiaoli. They have nowhere to go, and that Xie Zhi is probably going crazy."
"Aunt Chen, get up." Xiao Nuan reached out and helped her up, comforting her. "Don't worry, Xiao Tian and Xiao Li won't be homeless. This will always be their home. You can also stay with Xiao Tian and Xiao Li here for a long time. Anyway, we need to hire a nanny, so it's perfect that you and the two children can stay with us."
“Yes, Xiao Chen, you brought the children to our house. Mo Ran said before that she wanted to hire someone to take care of me. You’re the one. Come work for us from now on. We’re acquaintances, so it won’t be awkward to get along.” Zhang Yulan immediately chimed in, trying to persuade Aunt Chen to stay.
