The heavens set sail from the courtyard

After seeing Mi Lai off, Wang Gang drove directly back to Liu's company.

When the car pulled up to the company building, Wang Gang saw Yang Xiaoyun and Xia Lin talking downstairs. Xia Lin looked quite excited.

Wang Gang wasn't in the mood to meddle in other people's business. He drove straight into the parking lot and went upstairs to find Manny.

The project Liu and Milingxiong are collaborating on has already started, and the company is very busy, so Manny didn't even have time to go to the airport to see them off.

Seeing Wang Gang return, Manny asked, "Mi Lai left!"

Wang Gang poured himself a glass of water and said, "Yes, she's already flown. I'll go visit her next month."

Manny put down her pen and said, "Something happened to Xu Zhisen."

Wang Gang asked in surprise, "Isn't he looking for a sucker to buy plot number nine?"

Manny curled her lips and said, "I'm afraid no one will buy Xu Zhisen's land now."

Wang Gang sat down opposite Manny and asked, "What happened? Let me have a laugh."

Manny rolled her eyes at Wang Gang and said, "You're just gloating!"

Wang Gang laughed and said, "Stop keeping me in suspense and tell me!"

Manny said, "I received word that the archaeological team has sealed off Plot 9."

Wang Gang asked in surprise, "Hasn't Xu Zhisen been keeping the existence of an ancient tomb underground a secret all along?"

Manny laughed and said, "He's really shot himself in the foot this time."

Here's what happened: Xu Zhisen had previously hired five geological experts to examine the underground soil. Later, he withdrew the experts, hoping to find a sucker to take over Plot No. 9.

However, one of the geological experts had already begun testing and discovered something strange about the underground soil layer. Although he was driven away by Xu Zhisen, the expert did not give up and even sought help from an old friend in his archaeological team.

Now the news of the ancient tomb could no longer be kept secret, and the archaeological team even applied to the municipality to seal off the excavation site.

The result was that they actually unearthed an ancient tomb, which turned out to be the tomb of an ancient prince.

Xu Zhisen was now in a hurry. According to relevant national regulations, underground ancient tombs belong to the state, and no one can build on them until the archaeological team has finished excavating the tombs.

The land that Xu Zhisen bought for 1.25 billion yuan has been completely turned into a wasteland.

Since the money had already been paid in full, Xu Zhisen couldn't back out even if he wanted to. He personally contacted the municipal government and even tried to return the land, but who paid any attention to him?

At this point, Xu Zhisen's lack of connections in mainland China became apparent, and he was now having a tough time.

1.25 billion is no small sum; it represents almost all of Xu Zhisen's assets. To buy the land, he also took out a bank loan, which put considerable pressure on him to repay the loan each month.

Manny said, "Now Plot 9 is a hot potato. Only a fool would take it on. Xu Zhisen has suffered huge losses this time. I heard that the banks have come to his door to collect debts."

Wang Gang laughed and said, "This is called 'those who do many unrighteous deeds will surely perish.' Xu ​​Zhisen has done too many immoral things, and he will get his comeuppance sooner or later."

Manny smiled and said, "I have another piece of good news for you."

Wang Gang asked in surprise, "Is there any other good news?"

Manny said, "I heard that your classmate Lu Tao sold his house to pay off Xu Zhisen's debts."

Wang Gang suddenly realized that even if Lu Tao returned the 20 million yuan he had earned from Xu Zhisen during the old building renovation project, it would still be far from enough to cover Xu Zhisen's losses.

"Should I give Xu Zhisen another go?" Wang Gang said with a smile, stroking his chin.

Manny asked in surprise, "What do you want to do?"

Wang Gang laughed and said, "What if I were to reveal right now that Xu Zhisen has a terminal illness and doesn't have many days left to live? What would happen then?"

Manny was stunned for a moment, then she laughed.

"Xu Zhisen has offended you, what a terrible thing!"

Wang Gang smirked and said, "I wasn't lying; I was just telling the absolute truth!"

Manny said, "Once this gets out, won't Xu Zhisen's creditors drive him crazy? Everyone in business has debts. If Xu Zhisen dies, who will they go to collect those debts from?"

Once those creditors know that Xu Zhisen will soon die, they will definitely come after Lu Tao, just like the saying goes, "the son pays for the father's debts!"

“Legally, there’s no such thing as a son paying for his father’s debts, but then again, if Xu Zhisen really dies, then the creditors can only go after his son!” Wang Gang said gloatingly.
"Lu Tao thought he had a rich father, but in reality he was just asking for big trouble."

Manny said quietly, "It's also because Xu Zhisen is too greedy. He could have lost less, but he still wanted to find a sucker to take over. He really shot himself in the foot."

Wang Gang laughed and said, "Do you want to kick a dog when it's down?"

Manny thought for a moment and said, "Let's forget it. Xu Zhisen has already suffered enough. There's no need for us to kick him when he's down. It's better to be kind."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll go get busy now," Wang Gang said, standing up.

“Okay,” Manny said. “Come to my place tonight, I bought a premium steak.”

Wang Gang grinned mischievously and said, "I bought you a new outfit. Wear it and show it to me tonight."

Manny blushed, but quickly regained her composure and said seriously, "If you promise me that, I'll wear it for you to see."

Wang Gang looked hesitant.

Manny was talking about children. According to her, she's not getting any younger, and if she doesn't have a child soon, she'll be considered an elderly mother in a couple of years.

So Manny wanted to borrow something from Wang Gang, but she only wanted the child, not the child's father.

This is what is known as "rejecting the father and keeping the son"!

Wang Gang hesitated because of Mi Lai; if he didn't tell Mi Lai about this, it could easily cause trouble.

"I'll give you an answer after I see Mi Lai next month," Wang Gang said to Manny.

“Okay, I’ll wait for you,” Manny said nonchalantly.

Wang Gang and Manny's relationship is rather complicated. They are not a couple and are destined not to get married. Manny is career-oriented and has long lost faith in marriage, making her unsuitable for starting a family.

But children are not like other things, and Wang Gang also had to be careful. Not only Mi Lai, but also his parents were a troublesome matter, which is why he couldn't make a decision for so long.

As Wang Gang walked out of Manny's office, he unexpectedly ran into Yang Xiaoyun.

Yang Xiaoyun was somewhat distracted and didn't even see Wang Gang in front of her, so she bumped into him.

"Ouch!" Yang Xiaoyun was knocked to the ground by Wang Gang, and the documents in her hands scattered all over the ground.

"Are you alright?" Wang Gang squatted down and helped Yang Xiaoyun up.

"Mr. Gao, I'm sorry, I was distracted by something just now," Yang Xiaoyun said apologetically.

Wang Gang helped Yang Xiaoyun pick up the documents and asked, "Is it because of Xia Lin?"

Yang Xiaoyun asked in surprise, "How did you know?"

Wang Gang handed the document to Yang Xiaoyun and said, "I just saw Xia Lin downstairs. She came to borrow money from you again?"

Yang Xiaoyun said sadly, "Yes, Xia Lin wants to borrow money again, but I've already given her all my savings."

Wang Gang smiled and said, "It seems that Xia Lin is in quite a bit of trouble."

Yang Xiaoyun sighed, "Xia Lin's family has already sold their house to pay off debts, but they still owe a lot of money. She has borrowed from everyone she can and has gone back to working at the nightclub to pay off her debts."

Wang Gang asked, "Didn't Xia Lin ask Lu Tao for help?"

Yang Xiaoyun said, "Lu Tao is in dire straits right now, and Xia Lin is too embarrassed to bother him."

Wang Gang scoffed, "She's too embarrassed to go to Lu Tao, but she's willing to bother you. She really considers you a friend!"

Yang Xiaoyun's face turned pale upon hearing this! (End of Chapter)
