Chapter 270

Old Mrs. Xiao had completely fallen into despair.

She didn't want all her life's hard work to go down the drain in the end.

Moreover, she didn't have any other property in Jin Ling, only this villa.

If the Xiao family really went bankrupt, this villa would definitely be seized, and by then, she and her eldest son's family would all be homeless.

She suddenly remembered that her eldest son, Xiao Changgan, should still have some money in his hands, so she hurriedly asked him, "Changgan, how much money do you have now?"

Xiao Changgan's heart skipped a beat, and he blurted out, "Mom, I don't have much money left, just a few million..."

"A few million? Why so little?" Old Mrs. Xiao asked with a frown, "Xiao Xiao Yiqian alone gave Xiao Weiwei five million. You have been eating and living at home for these years, and you have been receiving a salary from the Xiao Group. Where are your savings?"

Xiao Changgan said with a sad face, "Mom, where do I have any savings? Although my living expenses have been low for these years, I still have to support Xiao Hailong, Xiao Weiwei, and Qian Hongyan. Plus, I spend money quite freely, so I basically didn't save any money."

Old Mrs. Xiao said, "In this way, you take this money out and invest it in the company first, and drag it out as long as you can. Then I will find a way to find some investment."

Xiao Changgan hurriedly said, "Mom, I have invested that money in fixed-term wealth management... I can't take it out!"

"Don't give me that!" Old Mrs. Xiao snorted coldly, "Don't think I don't know your little thoughts. Aren't you just trying to keep some savings for yourself?"

Xiao Changgan didn't dare to make a sound.

Old Mrs. Xiao questioned, "Have you heard a saying? When the nest is overturned, there are no unbroken eggs. If the Xiao family falls, do you think you can live well?"

Xiao Changgan hurriedly nodded and said, "Mom, you are right... but that money is really in a fixed-term deposit."

"So what if it's fixed-term?" Old Mrs. Xiao said coldly, "It's not like I haven't saved money. Fixed-term wealth management can be taken out in advance, at the cost of losing interest. In this situation, you are still thinking about the interest of fixed-term wealth management? I'll give you one day to hurry up and take the money out, transfer it to the company account, and then I'll communicate with a few creditors to see if we can get an installment repayment, preferably to win us a breathing time of one or two years!"

These days, it is also troublesome for creditors to collect debts. Therefore, sometimes if the debtor has a good attitude and can clearly give an installment repayment method, and can pay a little first, most creditors will agree to installment repayment.

What Old Mrs. Xiao thought was to use the few million of Xiao Changgan to stabilize the remaining creditors, and then win some time for herself.

Otherwise, her villa might be seized next month.

Xiao Changgan, however, was ten thousand times unwilling in his heart.

He knew that the Xiao family was a bottomless pit now, and he wouldn't be willing to throw money into it no matter what. But since his mother requested it so strongly, he could only nod, pretend to agree, and say, "Mom, don't worry, Qian Hongyan and I will go to the bank to take the money out of the wealth management and transfer it to the company account later!"

Old Mrs. Xiao was finally somewhat satisfied and said, "I guess you have at least ten million in cash. In this way, you transfer eight million to the company account first, and we'll talk if it's not enough."

Xiao Changgan cursed inwardly. The old lady's appetite was really big enough. She guessed he had ten million and asked for eight million at the opening?

He wouldn't give a single cent of this money!

Thinking of this, he agreed fully on the surface, while secretly giving Qian Qian Hongyan a wink.

After agreeing, Xiao Changgan said to the old lady, "Mom, Qian Hongyan and I are going to handle the business now, you wait at home for a while."

Old Mrs. Xiao nodded with satisfaction, "Go quickly and come back quickly."

Xiao Changgan pulled Qian Qian Hongyan out of the house. Qian Qian Hongyan couldn't wait to ask as soon as she went out, "Are you crazy?! Why did you agree to give the old lady eight million? We only have about fifteen million in family assets in total!"

"I'm not crazy!" Xiao Changgan hurriedly said, "Agreeing to my mom is just a delaying tactic. Let's hurry up and spend this money so that she won't think about it anymore. It's best if we can find a good house to buy today!"

Qian Qian Hongyan asked in surprise, "Go buy it now?"

"Yes!" Xiao Changgan said, "Doesn't my mom think I have ten million? Then we'll take ten million to buy a house. When the time comes, we'll throw the house purchase contract in front of her and tell her the money was used to buy a house. What else can she say?"

Qian Qian Hongyan immediately smiled and blurted out, "Okay, Changgan, you're really something! Let's go! Let's go see the house now!"

When the Xiao family fell into trouble again, the Wei family was now famous throughout Jin Ling.

What just happened to the Wei family made countless people sigh with emotion. They realized that as long as your strength is not top-notch, you are likely to become the fish and meat of the strong at any time!

Wei Pharmaceuticals was also a large pharmaceutical company in Jiangnan, and Wei Yongzheng and Wei Wei Changming were once infinitely glorious.

But now? In the blink of an eye, the two were exiled to Mount Zhangbai, becoming ginseng diggers with low status, hard survival, and never being able to leave Mount Zhangbai. It couldn't be more miserable!

And that illegitimate child Wei Liang, who was the least liked and had almost no presence in the Wei family, turned into the head of the Wei family and the chairman of Wei Pharmaceuticals. This was truly shocking.

However, surprise is surprise, but everyone also knew that Wei Liang inheriting the entire Wei family alone was definitely a rhythm of imminent rise.

Moreover, it seemed that Master Hong Wu, the Wang family, the Qin family, and even the Song family were all helping Wei Liang sit in the chairman's position behind the scenes.

This proved that Wei Liang had a certain relationship with these families, representing that Wei Liang's strength would be on a higher level on the basis of the original Wei family.

Before today, there were many people who had bullied Wei Liang in Jin Ling.

Before, Wei Liang was just an illegitimate child, and his status in the Wei family was not much better than a servant.

He followed Wei Yongming out and was bullied by others. Many people even bullied Wei Liang deliberately just to please Wei Yongming.

They thought Wei Liang would never be able to turn over in his life, but no one expected that he would really turn over, and so thoroughly.

Therefore, from noon, the Wei family suddenly had many people coming to congratulate him.

They presented heavy gifts to Wei Liang one after another, congratulating him on his promotion to the chairman of Wei Pharmaceuticals.

Among them were many people who had bullied Wei Liang, and even people who had beaten and insulted Wei Liang.

They not only prepared heavy gifts but also hoped with fear and trepidation that Wei Liang would forgive them, fearing that Wei Liang would seek revenge after his rise.

And Wei Liang didn't have the mentality of taking the opportunity to take revenge at all.

He greeted everyone who had bullied him with a smile and treated them politely.

Because he always strictly followed Ye Chen's instructions in his heart: he must never live to be the kind of person he hated the most!

The humiliation and oppression he suffered before were all training given to him by heaven. If it weren't for those experiences, how could he have this good fortune to be helped to a high position by Master Ye?

Therefore, he didn't dare to float, and didn't dare to float at all.

He just wanted to be a person of his duty, act low-key, do a good job in Wei Pharmaceuticals, and while making Master Ye satisfied, he could also have more ability and opportunities to repay his kindness.
