"How much money did you give him at the beginning? Do you have an idea?" Chen Jue asked speechlessly. The puppet that occupied Xiaoxiao's body before was Zhou Yishen's exclusive ATM, and the kind that would never pay back the money once it was withdrawn.
Hearing Chen Jue's words, Ling Xiaoxiao was speechless. She really didn't know how much money she had given to Zhou Yishen. After all, so many years had passed, and she had too many transfer records, so she could only have an approximate number.
"Don't think too much. Just get it back before the Zhou family goes bankrupt." When Chen Jue saw Ling Xiaoxiao frowning, he knew that she herself didn't know how much she had.
Ever since Mr. Zhou gave the company to his sons, the Zhou Group has suffered losses almost every year. It is simply a bottomless pit. If it weren't for Ling Xiaoxiao, the company would have gone bankrupt long ago. How could the Zhou Group exist today?
"So the Zhou family will go bankrupt soon?" Ling Xiaoxiao asked. There are still some lands in the western suburbs in the hands of Zhou Yishen's father. If they are not taken over before the bankruptcy, then after the Zhou family goes bankrupt, those lands will be auctioned off.
Although she didn't know how many people were eyeing that land, when she asked many people to help acquire the land, there were indeed several groups of people who also wanted that land!
"It can't be said to be soon, but it will be at least during the Chinese New Year." In fact, it would be okay even if Zhou's company went bankrupt now, but he wanted those people in Zhou's company to have nothing during the Chinese New Year.
During the Chinese New Year? Ling Xiaoxiao calculated that it was August now, and there were only four months left until the Chinese New Year. She had to get the Zhou family to hand over the land as soon as possible!
The Zhou family originally bought those lands with Ling Xiaoxiao's money, so even if Ling Xiaoxiao takes them back now, there is nothing wrong with it. However, if the Zhou family knew about it, they would not think so. After all, in their eyes, Ling Xiaoxiao's money belongs to the Zhou family!
It was already half past ten when Ling Xiaoxiao got home. She took a shower. The hot pot was delicious, but unfortunately the smell was too strong. Her clothes were all covered with the smell of hot pot!
She opened her phone and found a missed call from her second brother, so she quickly called him back. If her second brother knew that she went out to eat hot pot so late, he would definitely start nagging again!
"Little sister! Why didn't you answer the phone just now? You don't know how worried I was!" Ling Yuhang picked up the phone as soon as it rang, and it was obvious that he was really worried.
"Just now... I accidentally fell asleep! Second brother, what are you and eldest brother doing?" Ling Xiaoxiao changed the subject with a guilty conscience.
"What can I do? I'm just drinking and chatting with those people. I should have brought you here as well." Ling Yuhang muttered. He was actually very afraid that his little sister would suddenly disappear again, so he would be worried even if she was at home!
"I want to go too, but my brother said it's not safe there and the security in China is better." Ling Xiaoxiao actually wanted to go there too. She heard that Country M is a place with charming scenery.
However, the public security in Country M is really worrying. Attacks occur from time to time, and the Ling family also has many enemies. They dare not take any action in the country, but it is different abroad. They will launch attacks unscrupulously and then blame it all on the terrorist attacks in Country M.
"It's really not that good. Little sister, you have to be good at home. Your brothers will bring you gifts. By the way, did you receive the fruits and seafood that were airlifted to you today?" Ling Yuhang asked. He had someone specially sent them back to his little sister during the day. Although it was almost winter in China, it was still summer in Country M!
"The cherries are sweet, and the salmon is delicious! Oh, and that lobster is so huge! It can't even fit on the biggest plate at home!" Ling Xiaoxiao was no longer sleepy when she heard this. She had really learned a lot today! A lobster the size of a washbasin, and a giant spider crab! It was still alive and kicking when it came over, which really made her amazed!
Listening to his little sister's vivid explanation, Ling Yuhang felt that everything he did was worth it. As long as his sister was happy, that was all that mattered!
. . .
When Zhou Yishen returned home, it was different from the warm and loving home he used to have. Now the whole Zhou family seemed dead and suffocating!
"Are you back? How did the talk go?" Seeing her son coming back with a tired face, Zhou's mother had no time to care about his health. She was just anxious to know if Zhou could be saved!
"Wusu doesn't agree to continue cooperating with the Zhou family because it was the Zhou family that broke off cooperation with the Wu family first." Zhou Yishen untied his tie and sat on the sofa. He used to be such a proud child of destiny! Now he was like a joke.
"It's all your dad's fault! I told him before not to change the supplier of raw materials, but he refused to listen. He said that if he paid the Wu family, he could buy several times more goods outside! Hasn't he ever considered that cheap goods are not good?" Zhou's mother complained. In fact, she had only mentioned it once before, but after hearing that the raw materials could be much cheaper, she never mentioned it again.
"It would be great if grandpa were still alive." Zhou Yishen rubbed his head. His grandfather and the old man of the Wu family were close friends. If his grandfather were still alive, the Wu family would not disagree to continue the cooperation for his grandfather's sake.
"How is Ling Xiaoxiao? Doesn't she like you that much? Could it be that she has changed her mind and fallen in love with someone else? I told you before, if you hold on to Ling Xiaoxiao, all the shares of Ling's will be yours! But you didn't listen and kept associating with that girl from the Qin family! Now that the Qin family is bankrupt, what else does that girl have!" Mother Zhou felt so angry that her whole body ached when she thought of Qin Xueyi. If she hadn't interfered, how could Ling Xiaoxiao ignore the Zhou family!
"Mom, what did you say? Qin's company went bankrupt, why haven't I heard Xue Yi tell me about it?" Zhou Yishen suddenly raised his head. He was still thinking of asking Xue Yi to go back and talk to him about lending him tens of millions. Although it was not much, it could solve the urgent problem. But he didn't expect that Qin's company actually went bankrupt?
Zhou's mother looked at her son with dismay. Could that girl tell him that her family was bankrupt? She was desperately trying to cling to you as a lifeline, so how could she possibly tell you this?
"Qin Xueyi's stepmother said that she owed a large sum of money to Ling's, and her father sold the company to pay her back!" Zhou's mother said angrily.
How could Xue Yi possibly owe money? And a large sum at that? She used to wear the latest fashions and never lacked jewelry. Last year, for her mother's birthday, she even gave her a set of emerald jewelry worth over five million yuan.
He also wondered where Xue Yi's money came from, but she said she earned it herself. Actors do earn a lot, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Who would have thought those things were all Ling's? Now that I've fallen out with Ling Xiaoxiao, are they taking those things back? Or is this another conspiracy by Ling Xiaoxiao?
"Mom, don't say that for now. I'd better ask Xue Yi what's going on."
