He couldn't understand how a loser who was so down on his luck that he had to ride a motorcycle dared to be so arrogant in front of him.

Now it all makes sense; this kid really does have a mental illness.

For a moment, Leng Yanning looked at Chen Yi and saw that he looked serious and didn't seem to be joking.

He thought to himself, "This guy, could he really have delusions?"

Zhao Chun felt extremely uneasy.

Indeed, what normal person would provoke someone like Xie Peng?

They were people from out of town who had traveled a long way back.

Could the rumors be true?

Although Chen Yi seemed perfectly normal, mental illness is not always easily detectable.

"Yes, if you say so, then it is."

Chen Yi couldn't hide the smile on his lips and turned to look at Zhao Chun.

"Zhao Chun, let's visit Principal Leng this afternoon."

"Of course, I've been wanting to pay you a visit for a long time."

Zhao Chun readily agreed.

Xie Peng became even more smug: "You might as well go and see how I, Xie Peng, managed to get a miracle doctor to cure Principal Leng."

He wanted to give this kid a good slap in the face and make him see Leng Yanning obediently become his woman.

Zhao Chun said, "Don't stand here, go sit in the office."

As the group entered the office, Zhao Chun asked.

"Young Master Xie must have come here today for a very important reason."

Xie Peng lay sprawled on the sofa, his feet propped up on the coffee table, casually smoking a cigarette.

"I'm here to remind you that there are only three months left until our agreement expires. What are your plans?"

Zhao Chun's expression darkened slightly upon hearing this, then he forced a smile:

"Young Master Xie, please wait a few more months. I'm trying to figure something out."

The total investment in the Longgang leisure project was 80 million yuan, of which he contributed 40 million yuan and the remaining 40 million yuan was a bank loan.

However, halfway through the project, the bank delayed providing further loans, citing increased risk, leaving him with no choice but to seek investment opportunities elsewhere.

At this point, Xie Peng came to Zhao Chun's door, saying he was willing to invest 20 million, but Zhao Chun had to sign a performance-based agreement.

The project will be completed and put into operation within one year, with principal and interest repaid.

If the project cannot be completed on schedule, the leisure project will have to be transferred to the Xie family at a low price.

Zhao Chun had invested 40 million yuan at the time. If the funds were not in place, the project would be abandoned and the 40 million yuan would be wasted.

Left with no other choice, they had to accept Xie Peng's conditions.

They thought that as long as they could secure funding, the project could be completed smoothly.

But to this day, he hasn't found a single penny of financing, and the project has been stalled for two months.

Seeing that his entire fortune and hard-earned project were about to fall into the hands of the Xie family, how could he be willing to accept it?

Xie Peng laughed loudly upon hearing this.

"Come on, your crappy place isn't even finished with the Lingjiang Bridge. Who in their right mind would invest in you? What can you do besides wait to die?"

Zhao Chun's face darkened even more.

The recreational facilities are located across the Lingjiang River. When this project was initially planned, the Lingjiang Bridge was under construction.

But later, for some unknown reason, construction on the Lingjiang Bridge suddenly stopped, and his place suddenly became a dead end.

This is also the biggest reason why he couldn't get funding when banks stopped issuing loans.

Immediately, Xie Peng stubbed out his cigarette and looked at Zhao Chun with a smile, saying:

"Zhao Chun, we can't just stand by and watch someone die, can we? Let me show you a way out. Transfer the project to me now, and I'll give you ten million."

"Xie Peng, you're so heartless!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chun could no longer contain his anger.

"I spent forty million myself, and you want to buy it for ten million now?"

"Yes."

Xie Peng spread his hands, looking very serious.

"I know you invested 40 million and still owe the bank several million."

I'll give you ten million to pay off the bank's principal and interest, leaving you with one or two million. That's enough for your retirement.

I've done everything I could for the sake of our old classmate, what more do you want?

"If we delay for another three months, the project will still belong to the Xie family. What will you get then? Not even ten million."

Zhao Chun's face turned black with anger.

Xie Peng clearly had him cornered.

"Don't be so absolute. As long as construction on the Lingjiang Bridge resumes, the bank loan will come through. The project will be completed smoothly."

Zhao Chun said in a deep voice.

"Hahaha!"

Xie Peng burst out laughing. "Zhao Chun, Zhao Chun, you're still dreaming big."

You must know that the Lingjiang Bridge was built with investment from the Wang family.

Why do you think it encountered engineering problems at a critical moment, leading to a work stoppage?

"Let me tell you, the Xie family can start construction whenever we want. Can you afford to wait?"

"you……"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chun clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh.

He understood everything.

It turns out that all of this was a scheme orchestrated by the Xie family father and son.

With this one move, the Xie family father and son swallowed an 80 million project for only 20 million. What a deep calculation!

Xie Peng lit another cigarette and said with a smile:

"Zhao Chun, real businessmen play by strategy. You can't play this game. Take your old classmate's advice, grab your last savings and leave. Otherwise, you'll lose everything."

Chen Yi remained a detached observer throughout.

The Xie family father and son are truly cunning and shrewd; Zhao Chun has been completely manipulated.

Xie Peng is right. True masters play by strategic planning.

Even Zhao Chun suffered such a crushing defeat, so one can imagine Leng Yanning's predicament.

Just then, the secretary suddenly rushed in.

"Mr. Zhao, Mr. Xu from the Xu Group has arrived. He says he wants to discuss investment matters."

Mr. Xu, General Manager of the Xu Group?

Chen Yi immediately sat up straight.

Lin Wei is here?

Is the investigation my wife mentioned Zhao Chun's project?

He originally intended to help Zhao Chun, as Zhao Chun's project did indeed have considerable profits in the later stages.

If he could buy some shares, his parents and uncle would be more secure in Longgang.

Now that his wife is here, he doesn't need to lift a finger.

Zhao Chun was overjoyed.

"How wonderful! How wonderful! No, I'll go greet you myself!"

Xie Peng sneered, "President Xu isn't stupid. There's no way she'd invest in your desperate situation."

Zhao Chun's expression darkened slightly. If the Lingjiang Bridge wasn't completed, negotiating this investment would be harder than climbing to heaven.

Chen Yi then said, "Zhao Chun, don't worry, I know President Xu very well, I can help you."

Zhao Chun looked at Chen Yi in surprise.

He couldn't figure out why Chen Yi had any connection with President Xu, who was the president of a multi-billion dollar conglomerate.

"Familiar? How familiar are you? You're not fantasizing that Ms. Xu is your wife again, are you?"

Xie Peng scoffed.

"Hey, you're right, Ms. Xu really is my wife."

Chen Yi smiled faintly.

"Haha! Hahaha!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Peng slapped his thigh and laughed so hard he almost fell over.

"Look at this kid, he's totally delusional. He says Ms. Xu is his wife, hahaha, it's hilarious!"

Leng Yanning frowned repeatedly, feeling deeply saddened.

He really seems to have developed delusions!

Even Zhao Chun was somewhat saddened.

It turns out his old friend really went crazy.

"Hey bro, why don't you go next door and have some tea? I'll treat you to a seafood feast when I'm done."

Zhao Chun quickly pulled Chen Yi up and dragged him towards the next room...
