Chapter 270: Acting in compliance but opposing in secret

Old Mrs. Xiao was completely in despair.

She didn't want the hard work of a lifetime to be wasted in the end.

Moreover, she had no other property in Jin Ling, only this villa.

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

She suddenly remembered that her eldest son Xiao Changqian should still have some money, so she hurriedly asked him: "Changqian, how much money do you have on hand now?"

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

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

Xiao Changqian said with a sad face: "Mom, where would I have any savings? Although my living expenses have been low all these years, I still have to support Hailong, Weiwei, and Hongyan, the three of them, and I spend money quite freely myself, so I basically haven't saved any money."

Old Mrs. Xiao said: "In that case, you take this money out and invest it in the company first, to drag it out for a while, and then I will find a way to find some investment."

Xiao Changqian hurriedly said: "Mom, I used all this money to buy fixed-term wealth management... I can't take it out!"

"Don't try that with me!" Old Mrs. Xiao snorted and said: "Don't think I don't know your little thoughts. Aren't you just trying to keep some savings for yourself?"

Xiao Changqian didn't dare to make a sound.

Old Mrs. Xiao questioned: "Have you heard a saying? Under a collapsed nest, are there any complete eggs? If the Xiao family falls, do you think you can live well?"

Xiao Changqian hurriedly nodded and said: "Mom, you are right... but my 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 deposited money before. Fixed-term wealth management can be taken out in advance, it's just a loss of interest. In this situation, you are still thinking about the interest of fixed-term wealth management? I'll give you one day to take the money out quickly and transfer it to the company's account, and then I will communicate with a few creditors to see if we can get an installment repayment, preferably to win us a year or two of breathing time!"

These days, it is also troublesome for creditors to collect debts, so sometimes if the debtor has a good attitude, 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 Xiao Changqian's few million to stabilize the remaining creditors, and then win some time for herself.

Otherwise, her villa might be seized next month.

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

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

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

Xiao Changqian cursed in his heart, the old lady's appetite is really big, guessing he has ten million, and asking for eight million at once?

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

Thinking of this, he agreed on the surface, while quietly winking at Qian Hongyan.

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

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

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

"I'm not crazy!" Xiao Changqian hurriedly said: "Agreeing to my mom is just a delaying tactic. Let's spend this money quickly, so she won't think about it again. It's best to find a good house to buy today!"

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

"Yes!" Xiao Changqian 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 Hongyan beamed with joy and blurted out: "Alright Changqian, you really have a way! Let's go! Let's go look at houses now!"

When the Xiao family fell into trouble again, the Wei family was 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 very likely to become the fish and meat of the strong at any time!

Wei Pharmaceutical is also a very large pharmaceutical company in Jiangnan, and Wei Yongzheng and Wei Zhangming were once infinitely glorious.

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

And Wei Liang, the illegitimate son who was most disliked and had almost no sense of existence in the Wei family, turned into the head of the Wei family and the chairman of Wei Pharmaceutical. This was really shocking.

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

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 position of chairman behind the scenes.

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

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

Before, Wei Liang was just an illegitimate child, and his status in the Wei family was no better than a servant.

He went out with Wei Yongming and was bullied by others. Many people originally bullied Wei Liang just to curry favor with Wei Yongming.

I thought Wei Liang would never be able to turn over for the rest of his life, but no one expected that he would really turn over, and so thoroughly.

Therefore, from noon, many people came to congratulate the Wei family.

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

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

They not only prepared generous gifts but also hoped with fear that Wei Liang could forgive them, fearing that Wei Liang would take revenge on them after he rose.

And Wei Liang really didn't have the mentality of taking revenge.

He treated everyone who had bullied him with a smile and politeness.

Because he always followed Ye Chen's instructions in his heart, he must never live into 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 only thought about doing his duty, acting low-key, doing Wei Pharmaceutical well, and while making Master Ye satisfied, he could also have more ability and opportunities to repay his kindness.
