Xia Wan's first reaction was that she had nothing to do with the incident at the company. When she thought of it, she immediately rushed over.

Lu Feng had been waiting for her at the entrance of the company building. When he saw her, he immediately brought her to the meeting room on the top floor. Only then did she know that the Xia Clan Group's funds were on the verge of bankruptcy.

The board of directors had been thrown into disarray, and the situation had not improved in the least because of her arrival.

She lightly coughed a few times, pretending to be calm as she sat down on the seat that originally belonged to Xia Zheng and announced the meeting.

What happened next was simple. Everyone reported on the situation and gave their opinions. She probably understood that since the second half of this year, the Xia Group had failed several projects. Since then, the stock market had been in a downturn.

Xia Zheng, in order to invest in a new project, had no choice but to borrow a large amount of usury from a private bank. Currently, the interest on the group debt totaled to fifty million yuan.

"50 million?" Xia Wan seemed to not dare believe it, "A mere fifty million is already enough to beat the Xia Clan?"

"Miss, you don't know this, but the Xia Family already invested over a hundred million into the competition. They thought they could capture Shang Ting in one fell swoop, but who would have thought that Shang Ting would revive with the help of Flower Group?"

Xia Wan was a little speechless for a moment. She really wanted to say that she had reaped what she sowed, but the one who was obviously being punished now was her.

She frowned and quickly reacted. "So this is a joint suppression from them against us?"

"Not really. Even though Shang Ting has always been targeting our projects at every turn, it seems like the Flower Group has always had some restrictions on them. I just don't know why they were allowed to snatch the projects from our hands."

"Then let's just work together to suppress them." Xia Wan curled her lips. Relying on her natural sensitivity and the small amount of knowledge she had, she asked again, "Then, just how long will it take for us to fill in this loophole based on our existing projects?"

When she said this, everyone looked at her as if they were looking at an idiot.

"Miss, don't think too much. Our fastest earnings will be in half a year's time and this is under the condition that we have a stable investment. Now that we have a debt of 50 million, how can we continue to invest?"

"Declare that the only way to liquidate assets is to …"

Xia Wan did not want to hear all these, she suddenly thought of an interesting question, and a smile appeared on her face. Just as everyone thought that she had gone mad from the heavy burden, she asked softly, "How much debt did Shang Ting owe?"

The meeting room was silent.

No one would have thought that this unreliable young miss would actually ask this question at this time. Surprise flashed across Lu Feng's eyes, and after a moment of silence, she replied, "After settling all their assets, they still have three hundred million in debt."

"How much money does Tang Shaofeng want to lend Xiao Muting when he's determined to make a comeback?"

"Less than 30 million." The surprise in Lu Feng's eyes had already turned into amazement, as if he had thought of something, and he added, "Based on what I know, he relied on some short-lived projects to quickly accumulate capital."

"Are you good at these projects?" Xia Wan looked at Lu Feng with a smile, her eyes hiding a trace of scheming. Lu Feng was startled for a moment, she nodded her head, but then reminded her, "On the premise that we have at least 80 million now."

"Give me three days, the meeting is adjourned."

These three days were not the deadline she had set for him. Lu Feng had told her that if she was still unable to resolve the problem of her debts after three days, the bank would auction off all the assets under the Xia Clan's name.

Looking at the setting sun outside the window, Xia Wan picked up the phone on the table. She knew that there were only two days left in these three days.

It was only when she sat in the same position and saw the sunset twice more that she realized that only the two people on the phone in her hand had not yet called, that she finally realized the consequences of her past absurdity.

She would have liked to pat her ass and leave, to go to the Starlight as she had before, but the thought only passed through her mind, fleeting, because she knew that she could not afford to pay for a single glass of wine there now.

She took out her phone, took out the familiar phone, dialed it, and immediately pressed it. Tang Shaofeng's promise did not appear in her line of sight, so she did not want to lower her head anymore.

Moreover, Xiao Muting only had him as her brother now, so she couldn't bear to see that.

Just as she was in a panic over the money, the phone on the table rang. She quickly picked up the phone only to hear Lu Feng's regretful voice, "Miss, the auction has begun already at the bank."

After hanging up, the hope in her eyes gradually dimmed. She was indeed not Xiao Muting, and could not do anything that he could.

Very quickly, the phone rang again. Xia Wan felt that it was strange, at this time, who would call her? Could it be Tang Shaofeng? She hesitated to answer the phone, but then she heard a strange voice.

"I can give you 100 million, but if you want to hold a wedding with me, then come to the Cloud Sky Corporation to sign the contract."

Cloud Sky Group? Xia Wan almost didn't even think before nodding her head in agreement. She wasn't a woman who would sell herself for money, but for the sake of the villa that her mother had left behind, she had no other choice.

Yun Tian's CEO was a gentle person. Seeing the contract he prepared, she took out a pen and quickly looked through it for signature. Then, she heard his slightly puzzled voice, "You're not even going to ask why I married you?"

Xia Wan looked at him, and directly chose to confess, "Anyway, it's for the money."

What she didn't expect was that right after she finished signing, the other side knocked on the door and said that everything was settled. She looked at the man in disbelief, then heard his apologetic voice, "All of our assets have been returned to the Xia family, but that villa has already been bought."

"What?" Without even thinking, Xia Wan called Xiao Muting. Other than him, there was no one else.

However, he had already changed his cell phone number and called the company. The front desk girl also said that he had already left work.

"I think the gentleman you're looking for is in the bar that day."

Xia Wan looked at the man, thanked him and then flew to the Starmoon Bar, holding the authority of a top-tier VIP, he knew that he was in a room, the moment he opened the door, a burst of fragrance mixed in with the sound of his voice.

As expected, Xiao Muting was carrying a peerless beauty who was sitting in the middle of the sofa. She recognized the one who was engaged to him, the Ye Family's daughter, and couldn't help but to be a little suspicious. That was why she saw the other person in the group of beauties.

Tang Shaofeng? Why is he here too?
