Chapter 59: It turned out to be nothing but a paper tiger, too frail to withstand the wind

Wen Yuchun was being surrounded and fawned over by this group of young ladies; recalling how these women had deliberately put on an arrogant, coquettish front in her presence, she instantly felt utterly ridiculous and inwardly scoffed disdainfully.

She responded with a polite facade: 'Not bad.'

She then led a group to visit every part of the villa—the unique decor, the huge area, the precious flora, and the high-end facilities—leaving everyone amazed and envious.

Especially when they heard Wen Yuchun say that her father had spent seven or eight hundred million on the villa, the group was so shocked they could not speak.

Each one's face flushed red, and they nearly knelt on the spot.

"This is so generous, throwing away a thousand gold at once!"

Afterwards, Wen Yuchun led the group to the lounge; the servants immediately brought out delicious snacks and various drinks, each looking very expensive, and the group was once again stunned.

Including Wen Yuchun's close friend Lin Xiao Xiao, everyone was so shocked they went dumb.

They knew Xiao Ming was rich, but they had no idea he was this wealthy.

She secretly thought: 'This old handsome guy is so generous; I need to hurry and strive to throw myself at him.'

Today was a bit unfortunate; she came, but Xiao Ming wasn't home, she hadn't even seen him, let alone throw herself at him.

"Yuchun, from now on you should take more care of us sisters… um, can I take a photo here?"

A little girl stepped forward, asking eagerly.

"Sure." Wen Yuchun immediately agreed: "But my father doesn't like to show off; just take a quick photo, don't do anything else……"

"Okay, don't worry."

Everyone was delighted, took out their phones, and started snapping photos wildly in the luxurious villa; shortly after posting them to their WeChat moments, they attracted many likes and comments.

"This is too luxurious, too grandiose, isn't it?"

At this very moment, Yue Yue was completely conquered by this luxurious villa before her eyes.

Yue Yue's family used to be the wealthiest among this group of young ladies, but compared to Wen Yuchun's wealth, her family's money was instantly rendered insignificant.

Under these circumstances, her highest status in the sister circle had to be yielded to Wen Yuchun.

Next, Wen Yuchun and Wen Jingrou had Steward Xi arrange a super lavish dinner; eating that meal directly cost over three hundred thousand.

After learning this figure from the steward, the girls were stunned again, feeling that merely being in this villa exuded the scent of money everywhere.

Everyone had the feeling that even the oxygen they breathed seemed worth a lot of money.

This was nothing; after dinner, when the group planned to leave,

Steward Xi approached with several servants, each holding a tray covered with a cloth.

Steward Xi respectfully said to Wen Yuchun: "Miss Yuchun, sir says your female friends visiting as guests are most welcome, and he has prepared gifts for all of your sisters."

"Good heavens, this old handsome guy is too handsome!" Lin Xiao Xiao exclaimed.

Wen Yuchun, however, openly looked at the group of sisters opposite her and said: "Ah, who let my father dote on me so much?"

Afterwards, the servants carried the trays forward, pulled back the silk cloth covering them, and saw that the trays held nothing but exquisite, valuable ornaments.

"Sir instructed that, since these are the young lady's close friends, we must not neglect them; here are some small gifts, please accept them," Steward Xi said politely.

"Good heavens."

Seeing those so exquisite, each piece costing at least a hundred thousand—necklaces, earrings, bracelets, everything you could want—the steward said they were gifts for everyone.

Upon hearing and seeing this, the girls were utterly shocked, feeling as if they might collapse, and quickly steadied themselves by holding onto those nearby.

"Oh my gosh!"

"Yuchun, your dad is too generous; I'm liking him more and more."

"Yuchun, please convey our thanks to your dad; I'm so grateful I feel like throwing myself at him."

The girls were all delighted, jumping up and down on the spot, extremely happy.

Thereafter, suppressing their excitement, they thanked Wen Yuchun on one hand while selecting their favorite gifts from the trays on the other.

"Yuchun, dear, I love you so much."

After the girls had chosen their items, they quickly put on their favored jewelry and happily circled Wen Yuchun, cheering.

"Huh……"

Beside her, Yue Yue let out a sigh of disappointment; this trip had left her deeply moved.

"Only Yuchun truly lives up to the title of a genuine miss of wealth."

She was almost consumed by jealousy, yet she also accepted the fact that Wen Yuchun had transformed.

At this very moment, Wen Yuchun was truly no longer the poor girl she once was, but a bona fide wealthy miss.

From now on, Wen Yuchun will go even higher.

She will gather countless admiration and halos onto herself.

In the end, she became someone desirable yet unattainable.

There's no helping it—who let Wen Yuchun's father be so wealthy and so doting toward her?

……

One week passed.

Guoji Jinrong Dasha, Inscribe Joy Group, on the seventy-sixth floor.

Xiao Ming stood with his arms crossed before him at the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the endless flow of traffic outside.

A man stood behind Xiao Ming.

"General Manager Xiao, we followed your arrangements and released much negative news about the Wen Clan; sure enough, it sparked discussion, and the Wen Clan's stock, as expected, plummeted from over ninety to over one in an instant."

"The banks we cooperate with have all refused loans to the Wen Clan Group, and other companies we cooperate with have also terminated their collaborations with the Wen Clan Group."

"Of the funds you previously mobilized, only one-fifth has been used so far, yet the Wen Clan Group has been struck so hard it has no power to fight back."

After the man finished reporting the work situation, he added with a sigh: "Judging by the current situation, in just a few days the Wen Clan Group will have to declare bankruptcy."

Xiao Ming heard this and snorted coldly: "It seems I overestimated Wen Fengshu that old thing; I never expected it to be nothing but a paper tiger, fragile as can be."

"General Manager Xiao."

The man laughed and said: "Many companies falsify and inflate their financial reports; with assets of two billion, they can report as high as one hundred billion, and by playing the stock market, they instantly become companies worth several hundred billion, even several thousand billion."

In recent years, the Wen Clan Group has owed a considerable amount of foreign debt; among its assets, only the jewelry processing factory and over seven hundred jewelry stores bring her some profit. In the past two or three years, Wen Fengshu has also participated in machinery manufacturing, real estate, tourism, etc., but none have yielded any notable achievements.

This time, we have used the companies you founded—Inscribe Joy, Inscribe Wind, and the New Prosperity Group—to deal with the Wen Clan Group, carrying out acquisitions and attacks simultaneously, and we have also pressured the Wen Clan Group's creditors to demand repayment, plus we have struck at them in the stock market, leaving the Wen Clan Group utterly unable to resist.

The man said up to this point, took out a USB drive and handed it to Xiao Ming: 'Besides, this contains what you asked me to investigate—some unsavory things about Wen Fengshu, Wen Dongyu, and other members of the Wen family; in short, all the dirt on the Wen family is in here.'

'Put it on the table.' Xiao Ming turned around, went back to the table and sat down, took out a card from the drawer and handed it to the man opposite him: 'Same as before, the rule is: after taking down the Wen Clan Group, each person gets a reward of 1.2 million, and senior commanders get 12 million.'
