The building was about to collapse, and everything happened too fast, so fast that Mu Xixi wondered if this was a play deliberately staged by Zhang Baiyu to test her sincerity.
Mu Xixi doesn't understand business competition; all she knows is how to compete. But since reconciling with Zhang Baiyu, she hasn't been back to the club for almost a month.
The new round of the Winter Tournament has begun. After losing Ning Xuan, MYC's reputation has plummeted. Everyone knows that the golden couple, Mu Xixi and Ning Xuan, have broken up. Their strongest support and jungler have both left the team, which has led to MYC's disastrous performance in the Winter Tournament.
The once-glorious team has now become a laughing stock, and its members have repeatedly come to ask Mu Xixi to return.
But after breaking up with Ning Xuan, Mu Xixi was no longer willing to face the place where she used to spend every day.
Just as she was planning to sacrifice her passionate love by sacrificing her career, Zhang Baiyu suddenly announced that his company was going to go bankrupt!
Before Mu Xixi could react, Zhang Baiyu was already urging her to pack her things and leave.
"How could this happen? How could such a big company just go bankrupt like that?"
Mu Xixi tried her best to keep her tone calm.
Zhang Baiyu's expression was solemn and cold. The moment he lowered his head, Mu Xixi even saw that there were a few quite noticeable white hairs mixed in with his short, black hair!
"I got scammed."
"Who tricked me?"
"Jin Shu".
"Jin Shu?! How could you have been fooled by her?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Baiyu couldn't help but let out a self-deprecating sneer.
Yes, he thought he was smarter and more rational than Jin Shu, but only now did he realize how ridiculous he was.
He actually thought that Jin Shu was truly hopelessly in love with him!
Looking back now, Jin Shu probably already sensed his intentions when she took the initiative to show him kindness. She deliberately placed the bidding documents in the most hidden place in the study, just waiting for him to take the bait.
If that were all, Zhang Baiyu might still have doubts.
But Jin Shu was too meticulous. She actually went to work on the project and had already arranged for publicity. He wasn't the only one who was deceived; many other businessmen also believed that it was a truly unique and wonderful place.
Zhang Baiyu never expected that he was just a fish under Jin Shu's fishing rod, and that all the initial success he had gained was just bait that Jin Shu had prepared.
There's no use thinking about it now. All the anger and resentment I felt were vented a few days ago.
All that's left now is exhaustion and self-deprecation.
They will make a comeback.
He's so young, only thirty years old.
He will definitely make a comeback.
Zhang Baiyu told Mu Xixi that he planned to sell his company shares and then resign to work for a company.
What could Mu Xixi say? She could only let Zhang Baiyu take her from the seaside villa to an ordinary apartment.
Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse; Mu Xixi was shocked when she pushed open the door.
The small house, which is over 100 square meters, still has a musty smell.
"Isn't this... isn't this the first house we bought?"
Zhang Baiyu nodded.
"I've always kept it as a memento, and I never thought I'd use it again one day."
Mu Xixi remained silent.
She couldn't believe that in just one month, a billionaire like Zhang Baiyu, worth nearly 10 billion, would be reduced to living in such an ordinary neighborhood.
At this moment, Zhang Baiyu no longer had the energy to observe Mu Xixi's expression; he still had a huge mess to deal with.
The company's shares were quickly acquired by a buyer.
It was a foreign technology company that acquired all of his shares at a full price.
After selling all his shares, Zhang Baiyu's first thought was to repay the money.
But when he discovered that even if he paid off all the money from selling his shares, he would still owe more than 200 million, Zhang Baiyu hesitated.
It wasn't that he didn't want to pay back the money, but that he realized he was still in debt even after paying it back.
Two hundred million is no small sum; where is he supposed to find the money?
If that's the case, why rush to pay back the money? Why not just leave the money in the purse strings and use the proceeds from selling the shares to start anew? Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?
He wasn't the only one who thought this way; Mu Xixi also advised him in the same way.
Since the debt is already incurred, what difference does it make whether I offend ten people or a hundred?
Moreover, as long as one still owes money, creditors who want to get their money back have to lend a hand, which makes the debtor the stronger party.
After hesitating for a few days, Zhang Baiyu felt that this was his only option.
So he made a bold decision: he took all his money and prepared to leave China to develop his career abroad.
Zhang Baiyu used all his connections to finally get two plane tickets.
Now that he is a person subject to enforcement, he certainly cannot use his own ID card to take a plane. If he wants to go abroad, he will have to use other means.
To ensure everything went smoothly, Zhang Baiyu specifically chose a 2:30 AM flight and arrived at the airport with Mu Xixi, dressed simply and wearing hats and masks.
As boarding time approached, Mu Xixi suddenly felt a little nervous.
"Actually, I don't think I need to be so secretive. Anyway, from the outside, we have no relationship at all. You just need to be careful. I don't need to be as cautious as you."
Zhang Baiyu, however, said...
"Now everyone knows you're my woman. If you're too exposed, they'll easily find out. So, I guess you'll have to suffer a bit with me for now."
To be honest, ever since Zhang Baiyu's career started to take off, Mu Xixi has never taken a flight in the early morning, let alone a red-eye flight on a budget airline.
The thought of having to fly for another eight hours made Mu Xixi's face turn unbearably ugly.
Eight hours of crammed into a seat where you couldn't even stretch your legs, and then accompanying Zhang Baiyu abroad to live a life that couldn't be seen in the light of day.
But then she thought again that the hardships she was experiencing now were only temporary. Zhang Baiyu was now a low-profile super-rich man with billions of dollars in savings. As long as she went abroad, she could still live the life she wanted.
After comforting herself like this, Mu Xixi felt much better and stopped worrying about the bumpy eight-hour journey. She hugged Zhang Baiyu's arm and rested her head on his shoulder to sleep.
The plane will take off in half an hour. Boarding will begin in ten minutes.
Zhang Baiyu and Mu Xixi mingled in the crowd, heads down, holding their plane tickets as they slowly walked forward.
There's no need to be nervous now. After all, you've already passed the toughest security check, and now it's just a ticket check. There's no chance of any problems.
