The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Mi Lixiong did consider finding someone to teach Wang Gang a lesson, but ultimately gave up, naturally because of his daughter, Mi Lai.

Mi Lai was determined to protect Wang Gang, and even made a harsh statement that if Mi Lixiong laid a single finger on Wang Gang, she would run away from home and never come back.

As a doting father, Mili Xiong naturally understands Mi Lai very well and knows that she keeps her word.

At the same time, Mi Lixiong also realized that his daughter's feelings for Wang Gang were very unusual, and it seemed that she had fallen in love with him.

When Mi Lai broke up with Lu Tao, she was depressed for a while, but she recovered in a few days. In Mi Lixiong's opinion, his daughter's feelings for Lu Tao were not that deep.

This is also why he was willing to have dinner with Lu Tao.

But Wang Gang gave Mi Lixiong a very different feeling.

Privately, Mi Lixiong had investigated Wang Gang. Overall, apart from his infidelity, Mi Lixiong admired Wang Gang very much, so he didn't want to push things too far.

“Mr. Xu, we are all legitimate businessmen. We should avoid getting involved in illegal or disorderly activities if possible,” Mi Lixiong said, raising his glass to persuade Xu Zhisen.

"Mr. Mi, you misunderstand. When I said I would teach Gao Qiang a lesson, I didn't mean I would have someone beat him up," Xu Zhisen said with a smile.

"Oh! Does Mr. Xu have other methods?" Mi Lixiong asked curiously.

Lu Tao also perked up his ears, clearly intrigued.

Lu Tao had always wanted to take revenge on Wang Gang, but Xu Zhisen had suppressed him.

“I looked into Gao Qiang and found out that he and his friends run a used car dealership. Recently, they’ve been working with major 4S stores in the capital to offer trade-in subsidies,” Xu Zhisen said quietly.

“Gao Qiang is quite the businessman; it’s truly remarkable that he has built up such a business at such a young age,” Mi Lixiong said honestly.

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhisen gave a cold laugh and said, "Mr. Mi, you may not know this, but I have found out that Gao Qiang and the general manager of the 4S store were secretly passing off good cars as inferior ones, selling good cars as damaged ones, and cheating the boss out of his money."

Mili Xiong asked in surprise, "Such a thing actually happened?"

Xu Zhisen sneered, "Not only that, the trade-in subsidy he came up with was actually just attracting customers with high trade-in bonuses first, and then deliberately lowering the price of used cars, making a profit from the difference between the high and low prices."

Customers who trade in their old cars for new ones may seem to get a good deal, but in reality, the price of their used cars is reduced by more than half.

Upon hearing this, Mili Xiong said, "I don't see anything wrong with it, do I? In business, it's not unreasonable to create a pretext to make a profit from the price difference."

Xu Zhisen said coldly, "It is indeed normal to buy low and sell high in business, but the price difference ultimately ends up in the hands of Gao Qiang and that 4S store manager, who line their own pockets."

"If I tell the 4S store owner about this, do you think Gao Qiang will be in big trouble?"

Mi Lixiong suddenly realized what Xu Zhisen's "lesson" meant.

Lu Tao was very excited, feeling that he had caught Wang Gang red-handed, and couldn't wait to go to the 4S store owner and report Wang Gang.

"This is a small matter, it probably won't bother Gao Qiang at all," Mi Lixiong said with a smile, not taking it seriously.

Xu Zhisen smiled confidently and said, "The impact won't be significant, but it'll be enough for President Mi's daughter to see Gao Qiang for who he really is!"

Mili Xiong was taken aback and began to think it over carefully.

"Uncle Mi, Gao Qiang is a despicable person. He approached Mi Lai with ill intentions. He had bad ideas even when Mi Lai and I were dating." Lu Tao added insult to injury.
"If it weren't for Gao Qiang, Mi Lai and I wouldn't have broken up."

Mi Lixiong looked at Lu Tao meaningfully and said, "I remember you were the one who cheated on me first, hooking up with Mi Lai's best friend, which is why my daughter broke up with you!"

Lu Tao was embarrassed and didn't know how to explain for a moment. Xu Zhisen then spoke up: "Actually, there's more to this story. Lu Tao and that Xia Lin weren't like that at all."

Xia Lin works at a nightclub, serving drinks. Lu Tao was just there for business, putting on an act. President Mi should understand, right?

Mili Xiong nodded upon hearing this. He was also a businessman and knew that some situations were unavoidable.

Xu Zhisen laughed and said, "Later, Gao Qiang added fuel to the fire and distorted the facts in front of Mi Lai, which led to Lu Tao and Mi Lai breaking up."

Lu Tao was dumbfounded upon hearing this, utterly astonished by Xu Zhisen's ability to distort the truth.

Xu Zhisen secretly gave Lu Tao a look, signaling him to cooperate.

“Actually, Lu Tao had tried to explain to Mi Lai, but Gao Qiang kept stirring up trouble around her,” Xu Zhisen said. “This banquet for President Mi is also to clarify this matter.”

Mi Lixiong seemed to have been completely fooled by Xu Zhisen, and said in surprise, "So, Gao Qiang's ambitions are quite grand!"

Xu Zhisen nodded and said, "That's right. Gao Qiang's family is of average means. His parents are just ordinary workers. They don't have the money to do business."

Lu Tao continued, "The money Gao Qiang has must have been swindled from other women. He deliberately approached Mi Lai and sabotaged our relationship just to swindle the money from her."

Mili Xiong frowned and said, "Milai did give Gao Qiang one million."

Lu Tao gasped, "Mi Lai has already been scammed out of a million?!"

Xu Zhisen said coldly, "Gao Qiang wants more than just one million; he wants all of Mr. Mi's assets!"

Upon hearing this, Mi Lixiong flew into a rage, slamming his fist on the table and saying, "Hmph! I will never let that pretty boy get away with it."

Xu Zhisen's lips curled up, sensing that Mi Lixiong was about to fall into his trap.

"Mr. Mi, we are both fathers. Building a business is not easy. What we fear most is that our descendants will be unworthy and unable to maintain our family fortune." Xu Zhisen sighed and patted Lu Tao on the shoulder.
"Our child is still young. What if something happens to us and someone with malicious intent takes advantage of the situation?!"

Xu Zhisen's words resonated with Mi Lixiong.

“Yes! I only have one daughter, Mi Lai. If I don’t leave her the inheritance, who will? My biggest fear is that she’ll marry the wrong person and be cheated,” Mi Lixiong sighed.
"I can keep an eye on her while I'm here, but if I'm gone one day, who will care for my daughter?"

Lu Tao said, "Gao Qiang is currently pestering Sister Manny, probably because he wants to cheat Liu's Company."

Millie Bear shuddered, sensing that her daughter was quickly following in Manny's footsteps.

Xu Zhisen then said, "Actually, many of my friends have put their property into estate trusts, which is very popular abroad."

“An estate trust? What’s that?” Millie Bear asked, puzzled.

"An estate trust is a legal instrument in which a settlor entrusts his or her property to a trust institution through legal documents, such as a will or trust agreement, and the trustee manages, operates and distributes the estate in accordance with the agreement."

"Does Mr. Mi know about the Nobel Prize? It's a kind of estate trust. During his lifetime, Nobel used most of his estate to reward people who have made significant contributions to humanity in the fields of physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and peace."

"The fact that the Nobel Prize has been awarded for over a hundred years is inseparable from the management of the foundation."

“Nowadays, wealthy people abroad especially like to set up estate trusts to entrust their assets to professional institutions for management. Their children can only receive limited investment returns each month, but the advantage is that it lasts for a long time.”

"With the assets in the hands of the trust institution, outsiders cannot seize them."

Upon hearing this, Mi Lixiong became interested and inquired in detail about the estate trust from Xu Zhisen. (End of Chapter)
