Xia Qingshan still didn't believe it. What could these few people prove? He got the list last night, and there were a hundred people on it. Even if four or five were missing, it wouldn't matter. And not everyone would necessarily know. What if they did?
He didn't care about guaranteeing the principal or not. Fifty billion was out of the question, forty billion was a fantasy, and thirty billion would be fine if all else failed. If he set that standard, the losses would be too great, the cash flow would be cut off, and there would be no way to recover. If it were ten billion... this wasteland would become a stone that crushed the Xia family. He didn't dare to calculate or think about how much money they would owe. He could only stand there blankly.
After a long while, Xia Qingshan finally came to his senses. He staggered for a moment, and with the help of his assistant, he gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go in."
On his way in, he saw many people coming out. Almost all of them looked embarrassed when they saw him. When they nodded and greeted him, they didn't dare to look him in the eye. Some even made fun of him, openly mocking him. The respect they once showed in their eyes was gone.
Xia Qingshan could walk no more. He leaned against the wall, watching the people passing by. It seemed there was no point in going in now. The buyers he had his eye on had all left, and those left were just looking for bargains.
Some people even asked him directly if he would sell it for a lower price, as if it weren't a piece of land but a rotten cabbage in the market.
Xia Qingshan could no longer withstand the pressure. His face turned pale, his hands trembled uncontrollably, and his pupils dilated and unfocused. He heard his assistant call out, "President Xia."
Then a loud buzzing sound came from his ears, his neck snapped back, and he fell to the ground against the wall.
...
At the same time, Lu Yan's identity as the founder of Yi An was also exposed by the media. At a party, she made a stunning appearance, arm in arm with Zhuang Yan.
No one expected that Lu Yan would be the boss of Yi An, a woman with a bad reputation, a woman who has seemed pitiful since childhood. How could she possibly be a big boss?
Those who looked down on her back then now dare not look her in the eye. It took them a while to greet her, and they gradually accepted the fact.
Lu Yan was different today. She used to look lazy and was just a pretty background character, someone everyone wanted to flirt with. But today, she was the protagonist, a queen, with an arrogant expression, full of confidence in every move, cold eyes, and an expression that never showed her emotions.
Zhuang Yan, standing beside her, was no less impressive. Today, Lu Yan was the main character, and he was willing to play a supporting role. He wore only a simple white suit and kept up with Lu Yan's pace with steady steps. Even as a supporting character, his intimidating presence was impossible for others to ignore.
The executives who had just come from the auction were stunned when they saw Lu Yan, even though they already knew about her from Xia Qingshan.
"Xia Qingshan said that Lu Yan wanted to get revenge on them, and that Lu Yu was sent to jail by her. Do you think these things sound plausible?"
“He said it himself, and no one forced him to say it, so it must be reliable.”
"I heard that Lu Yan's mother was driven to her death by Xia Qingshan's wife. It's understandable that she hates the Lu family, after all, she didn't have a good life before."
"Who would have thought that the person who had the worst life in the past would become the most capable person now? It's a good thing we didn't offend her back then. Look how miserable those who offended her are. She didn't even spare her own brother. The Lu family is gone, and now it's the Xia family's turn."
"We need to stay away from Xia Qingshan from now on, so as not to drag us into this."
"The Xia family is a complete mess right now, and it's probably not going to work out. We need to make plans and choose sides as soon as possible."
"So, today's banquet is a reminder to us, to make us choose sides?"
Several dialogues clearly demonstrated their stances, attracting more and more people to the scene. Those who came were not only there to watch the spectacle, but primarily to distance themselves from Xia Qingshan and to take sides.
Those in the know understand that the Xia family is a mess. Lu Yan launched an attack and divided the spoils. If you side with her now, you might be able to get a share of the profits.
Therefore, everyone looked at Lu Yan with fawning eyes, greeted him warmly, and handed him their business cards, hoping that Lu Yan would remember them.
However, Lu Yan's gaze was mostly on Zhuang Yan. Looking at the petite and charming Lu Yan, the men gritted their teeth and sighed that Zhuang Yan's life was just too good.
The banquet reached its climax when Lu Yan went on stage to announce two things.
Her first task is to create a commercial street. She will select suitable partners from among the people who came today. Those who are not selected should not be discouraged, after all, she has a wide industrial chain. If there is no cooperation this time, there will be next time. She will also share the latest news with everyone in advance.
The second thing she did was announce that she had no connection whatsoever with the Lu and Xia families.
The subtext is that she won't care about anything that happens.
As she spoke, she smiled, but her eyes were icy cold. After sweeping her gaze across the room, she revealed a threatening smile, clearly "advising" everyone not to meddle in other people's business. Anyone who wanted to help the Xia family would be her enemy.
With such an obvious emphasis, who wouldn't understand? Even those who had past ties with the Xia family gave up any intention of helping.
Xia Qingshan has offended Lu Yan too deeply. No one knows what unforgivable thing he did. Is it because Xia Wan almost stole her sweetheart? Or is she taking revenge for Zhuang Yan? After all, when Zhuang Yan just broke off the engagement, Xia Qingshan spread rumors about Zhuang Yan relentlessly, practically pushing him to his death.
Thinking about it, everyone felt a chill run down their spines, realizing how fortunate they were that they hadn't taken advantage of the situation, otherwise they would have been in trouble too.
The landfill that Zhuang Yan bought for 5 million yuan is now being converted into a commercial street, turning the 5 million yuan land into extremely valuable land.
In contrast to the bustling crowd here, the auction was deserted, and even the main character had to be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.
Both situations have become trending topics.

When netizens saw the sudden change in the situation, they thought Lu Yan was just an ordinary rich girl. A few days ago, when they heard that the Lu family had gone bankrupt and Lu Yu had gone to prison, some people felt sorry for her, saying that she would be broke and unable to live in a big villa or drive a luxury car in the future. But now, in such a short time, they were told that Lu Yan was a big boss, and an extremely wealthy one at that, richer than both the Lu family and the Xia family. They remembered that Lu Yu had tried to curry favor with Boss Yi An before, but unexpectedly, the boss was right in front of him and had even sent him to prison.
Viewers who watched the live broadcast of the program felt that Lu Yan's identity was not simple when she took out that black card.
Previously, many people online speculated that Lu Yan might be Yi An's boss, but most people thought these people were just joking and playing on abstract concepts.
Now that it's been confirmed, netizens are outraged, and Zhuang Yan has become public enemy number one, with comments section screaming, "The hatred of having one's wife stolen is irreconcilable!"
