Return to 88: Starting from Marrying My Sister-in-law

a week later.

In Pengcheng, Lu Yang saw Xiao Jun alive.

At first glance, his eyes were dull, there were bruises around his eye sockets, his beard was unkempt, his hair was a mess, and his clothes were wrinkled.

Lu Yang frowned.

I couldn't help but ask curiously, "How long have you not taken a shower? How long have you not slept?"

This is his office.

Xiao Jun glanced around, walked to the sofa in the far corner, threw himself on it, and raised two fingers behind him: "It's been two days and two nights, and I haven't closed my eyes yet. Let me sleep for a while. As for taking a shower? I don't have the time to wash wool. I haven't taken a shower since the accident, and even my clothes are smelly."

Hear the words.

Lu Yang fanned his nose with his fingers. Although he didn't really smell any strange smell, he still frowned in disgust.

"never mind."

"This sofa set is for you."

"When you leave, remember to find someone to move it away."

Xiao Jun waved his hand weakly: "Thank you, buddy."

In just a few dozen seconds...

"Boom...boom...boom...boom..."

He actually started snoring, and his snoring sounded like thunder, just like a cow.

The secretary who was standing at the door opened her mouth in surprise.

Xu Siqi widened her eyes and looked directly at Lu Yang who was sitting in the boss chair, pointed at Xiao Jun who was snoring loudly on the sofa, and then pointed at the steaming cup of coffee in her hand. She didn't know what to do, whether to go over and wake him up.

Lu Yang shook his head at her: "Forget it, give it to me and let this guy sleep for a while."

Waited to take the coffee from the secretary.

Lu Yang took a sip.

She was a little unaccustomed to the fact that there was no sugar in it, so she frowned slightly. After putting down the unusually bitter and refreshing coffee, she said, "Go and see if there are any local newspapers of Hailan in the company in recent days. If there are, go and get them for me."

Xu Siqi nodded.

I stole a glance at the boss's expression after he drank the coffee, then tiptoed out.

After closing the door, she covered her mouth with her hands, as if she was trying hard not to laugh out loud.

Think about it for a moment.

She quickly ran to the tea room, took out a few sugar cubes, wrapped them in a clean paper towel, folded them, and put them in her pocket.

The little hands clapped gently.

With his eyes narrowed, he walked towards the company's office area with a happy pace.

"Sister Sisi, who was that just now?"

"Yes, a tall man, unkempt, with hair like a mess, and clothes so wrinkled that even my cat shook his head when he saw him. Could he be a relative of the boss? Otherwise, why would the boss come out to greet him in person? And Sister Sisi, you haven't ground coffee for anyone other than the boss in a long time."

"Go ahead, stop asking questions, or I'll have your boss fire you. By the way, have you collected all the newspapers I asked you to collect these days? Bring them to me."

He arrogantly scolded a few receptionists.

After becoming the center of attention among the younger sisters.

With a triumphant stride, he trotted back to Lu Yang's office, holding the local newspaper of Hailan that he had obtained for the past week.

Just wanted to knock on the door.

The little girl thought about it, then gently opened the door and walked in.

"Boss, here's the newspaper you requested."

The girl tiptoed to Lu Yang's desk, listening to the snoring sound like thunder from the sofa in the corner. She stuck out her tongue, took out the sugar cube she had prepared from her pocket, opened the paper towel wrapped around it, and carefully picked up a piece of sugar cube between her thumb and index finger. She glanced at Lu Yang's eyes, and seeing that Lu Yang had picked up the newspaper she handed over and started reading it without distraction, she gently moved the sugar cube in front of the coffee cup.

"Ding dong."

A sugar cube that looked like a bean fell into the cup.

Lu Yang raised his head.

Staring at her two slender fingers, the coffee cup below, and the spilled coffee on the table.

Xu Siqi panicked.

He quickly retracted his fingers, lowered his head, and whispered, "I...the coffee is too bitter, I can add a piece of sugar."

Lu Yang stared at her for a while.

He picked up the coffee cup again and took another sip. "Yeah, it's a little sweet indeed. You go out first. I'll call you if there's anything else."

"Ah."

Xu Siqi nodded slightly through her nasal cavity.

Turn around.

After walking a few steps, he walked more and more briskly, a smile on his face, and even his big eyes narrowed into a crescent moon.

yeah.

She pumped her little fist.

This scene was completely seen by Lu Yang, but Lu Yang was calmer, so he saw it but pretended not to see it.

Except that my mouth suddenly felt so sweet!

what happened?

Oh, it turned out that I accidentally drank the sugar cube that had not yet completely melted into my mouth.

No wonder it's so sweet.

Lu Yang relaxed his brows, smiled, then chewed it into pieces and swallowed it with a mouthful of bitter coffee.

Yes, that’s the taste. The bitterness and joy in life are mixed together. If you don’t know the bitterness, how can you know the sweetness? What you put into your mouth is what life is.

The only noise now was the snoring which ruined the mood.

No one came to disturb Lu Yang, so he lowered his head and carefully flipped through the newspapers in his hand.

"really……"

“The situation is getting worse.”

"No wonder this guy is so anxious that he doesn't even have time to take a shower. His beard is so unkempt that he doesn't even have time to shave. He has to bear a bank loan of 700 million yuan. If this big problem is not solved, the fate of some people here today will probably be the fate of this guy tomorrow."

Several bosses with assets worth over 100 million have jumped off buildings because they could not bear the pressure.

And the time was only 7 days.

When the bubble hit, the houses that were previously worth every inch of land began to be ignored, and the property certificates were no longer as practical as toilet paper. They could not be sold, and could not be gotten rid of. Countless real estate speculators had to grit their teeth and move forward to hold on.

Hold on until the storm passes, maybe there will be a glimmer of hope for survival.

If you don't hold on until you die... you will have to accept bankruptcy calmly, and all the wealth you have accumulated throughout your life will go down the drain. You will have to watch helplessly as your house is taken away and your bank accounts are seized, and you will become a deadbeat. It only takes these three steps to go from financial freedom to poverty.

If there are things that are unacceptable, people will naturally go to extremes.

Lu Yang couldn't help but shook his head.

As far as he knows, this is just the beginning. It has only been a week. In the next few months, at least 90% of the companies in the entire Hailan real estate industry will go bankrupt, there will be more than 600 unfinished buildings on the market, and more than 18000 hectares of idle land will be stranded. Just these two items, the loss will be at least more than 800 billion, and there are also bad debts of banks...

The bank's bad debts can't be avoided.

But not every real estate speculator is called Mou Qizhong. Not every real estate speculator is Xiao Jun, and there is a local family in Pengcheng supporting him behind the scenes.

Think of this.

Lu Yang put down the newspaper in his hand.

Since this guy can sleep here, I think the trouble has been dealt with. Well, I'll talk about other things after he wakes up.

Lu Yang stood up and walked to the bookshelf behind him.

He moved away a few books that blocked his view and felt around on the wall with his fingers. Then he heard a "click" sound from the entire bookshelf, and the whole thing sank inward, revealing a secret door.

Not only that, the light inside was surprisingly bright. It was a small room with a bed, a wardrobe, a refrigerator, a computer and a large safe.

Nothing else.

Lu Yang just wanted to come in and sleep.

The guy outside was snoring loudly. Only those with good soundproofing inside could be immune to his magical attacks. Otherwise, he could only walk over and kick the guy to wake him up.

Well, for the sake of our friendship, let's spare this guy.

Lu Yang slept with his clothes on and set the clock.

Half past five in the afternoon.

There's still half an hour left until get off work.

Xiao Jun woke up from the sofa, rubbed his old waist, yawned, wiped his saliva, and squinted his eyes to look at the energetic Lu Yang opposite him.

He subconsciously raised his wrist.

"Damn it, it's 5:30 and the bank is about to close. Bro, why didn't you call me earlier?"

He almost couldn't help jumping up.

"You seem to be sleeping so soundly."

Lu Yang turned the pen in his hand and said, "Calm down and tell me how the funds are being raised."

Xiao Jun calmed down.

He lay down on the sofa in a depressed mood, spread his arms and said, "Well, the problem has been solved, but the price I paid is different from what I imagined."

Lu Yang asked curiously: "What are the differences?"

Xiao Jun stared at the ceiling and said slowly, "My old man is very cunning. He doesn't like my houses that have fallen to pieces. He asked me to change the collateral."

After hearing this, Lu Yang fell into deep thought.

At the same time, fingers tapped out a rhythm on the table.

He raised his head and asked, "You promised your stepfather to use your shares in Little Prodigy as collateral?"

Apart from this thriving electronics factory, he couldn't think of what other chips this guy had.

Xiao Jun smacked his lips and said, "Yes, it's all I have. The old man said that he can save me, considering that I call him father. Not to mention 200 million, even 300 million is no problem. The prerequisite is that I have to mortgage all the company shares under my name, including Xiaobawang, to Qian's. If we can get through this difficult time, then everything will be fine. As long as I pay back the money as agreed..."

"What if you can't make it? Will you come back to inherit the family business?"

Lu Yang noticed that although he looked quite depressed, he did not seem desperate. After all, his troubles had been temporarily solved. From his tone, it seemed that he did not need to continue selling cars and houses to fill the hole, nor did he need to continue to come to him to borrow money.

Xiaoxiao played a joke on him.

It's just not funny.

Xiao Jun rolled his eyes and said, "How is that possible? I wouldn't even dream of such a possibility. The old man has made it very clear. I should stay in Pengcheng and be filial to my mother. I shouldn't let my mother worry about me anymore. As for the family business, haha, I'm not his biological son, so it's natural that my sister will inherit it."

He stood up with a somersault.

He stared at Lu Yang and said, "Brother, if I really fail this time, I will have to be a playboy in the future. I can only date girls, play with cars, go fishing, etc. These business matters will have nothing to do with me in the future. You won't look down on me, right?"

Lu Yang closed his eyes: "Get lost!"

He doesn't want to talk.

At this moment, if I speak to this kid, wouldn't the hateful faces of these rich second-generations become even worse?
If you have talent, you will inherit the family business, be invincible in the business world, and be powerful. If you don't have talent, you will just live a life of idleness and debauchery, picking up girls and playing with cars, right?

Xiao Jun smacked his lips.

It was a complete waste of time.

He sat down again with a lack of interest. As for leaving? How could it be possible? If he was told to leave, he would leave. That would be too embarrassing.

This guy is very thick-skinned.

Seeing that Lu Yang ignored him, he stood up and poured himself a cup of coffee, "Wow, so bitter."

Go back and sit on the sofa.

He crossed his legs and said, "What advice do you have for me? My old man clearly wants to covet my business. He has already set his eyes on the shares of the little prodigy. I am afraid that he will do something shady and deliberately make trouble for me behind my back so that I can't get through this difficult time. When that happens, I won't be able to pay back the money. All the assets under my name will belong to the Qian family."

Lu Yang shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be that serious. Your mother is watching."

Xiao Jun also nodded.

Although he didn't really trust the old man in his family, he still trusted his own mother.

"Well, there is also my younger sister. She is quite capable now. Her voice in Qian's enterprise is second only to that of the old man. The three plots of land she cooperated with you currently account for more than half of the assets of the Qian family. They are the most important development projects of the Qian's enterprise in the future. Once they are completed, the road for my younger sister to take over the core of Qian's enterprise will be paved in the future. The old man is really good at scheming. I think we won't have to wait too long for this day."

Although he had never thought of competing with his younger sister, these words still sounded a bit sour.

Lu Yang said with a smile: "Then you should try your best to overcome the current difficulties, and work hard in the future to become a first-generation rich. Just as you envy your younger sister now, others will envy your children in the future."

Xiao Jun clapped his hands and said, "Okay, that makes sense."

Lu Yang shook his head, raised his wrist and looked at the time on the watch.

It's almost 6 o'clock.

He stood up and reached out to take the coat from behind, put it on and walked out, saying, "Let's go, it's time to get off work, I'll welcome you tonight, don't think too much, even if your old man wants to play tricks, here you have your mother and your little sister to help you keep an eye on, and over there, Brother Mou is not a pushover either, he and you are on the same boat now, if you plot against you, you are also plotting against him, no matter how powerful Uncle Qian is, he can only bully people in Pengcheng, outside of Pengcheng, his hands are not that long."

I originally wanted to persuade this guy not to think so badly of others. After all, they are father and son, even if they are not biological children.

But when the words came to his lips, Lu Yang still felt that he should say something more practical.

Sure enough, after listening to Lu Yang's analysis, Xiao Jun was in a good mood. He slapped his thigh and said, "That's right. The old man's power cannot go beyond Pengcheng, so he can only bully others in Pengcheng. If he goes to provoke Brother Mou, Brother Mou will definitely teach him a lesson. As for me, I should be at ease. Come on, come on, play with me tonight. I'm the landlord, and there are many places to play here that you haven't seen yet. Tonight, I'll take you to broaden your horizons. I guarantee you will be reluctant to leave. Hahaha..."

This guy loses his mind when you give him some face.

He looked depressed just now, but when he realized that he might be overthinking, he immediately became calm again.

Lu Yang shook his head. . . .
