Chapter: 417

But now, the Xiao family is left with nothing, on the verge of bankruptcy.

Emperor Group stopped cooperating and also sealed off Xiao Family Group. Now, Xiao Family Group has lost all its cooperation, and the company has come to a complete standstill.

However, at the same time, the company still faces massive capital outlays.

For instance, the rent for the office building of the group, salaries for all staff members from top to bottom, construction fees for project contractors, and material costs from suppliers.

Right now, the Xiao Family Group is like a bag with a hole in it, where the rice inside was already scarce to begin with, and it's just flowing out, looking at each other, unable to hold on any longer.

What's even more infuriating is that my most beloved granddaughter Xiao Weiyue, originally had the opportunity to marry Wang Kai's prince Wang Yunfei, but now Wang Family has completely cut ties with Xiao Family.

Wang Family's last resort also disappeared into thin air.

Just thinking about these things makes Grandma Xiao unable to bear the old tears streaming down her face.

The old man left a few years ago and entrusted me with family affairs, but I never thought that I would actually be running the family business into this kind of situation.

If it keeps going like this, not only will the group go bankrupt, but I myself will face massive debts. At that time, even this old mansion may not be preserved.

And all of these are due to my own personal desires.

If it weren't for taking the opportunity to give Xiao Qingyun that suite, Xiao Changkun and Xiao Chunran would not have broken off with themselves.

Without Xiao Chunran leaving Xiao Family Group, Emperor's Honor Group wouldn't be able to turn their backs on Xiao Family Group either.

The eldest son, Xiao Changgan, is now on the verge of collapse.

The family business is in dire straits, my daughter has lost happiness, my son has lost his future, and is still being constantly belittled by Xiao Qingyun.

I'm thinking of doing something to turn things around, but I can't find even a glimmer of hope.

Xiao Weiyi has been crying nonstop since she got back, crying so hard it's like her heart is about to burst.

He asked his mother, "Mom, is there no hope for the Xiao family?"

His mother's eyes welled up with tears and she said in pain, "There's nothing we can do, Changgan. If the company doesn't declare bankruptcy soon, our debts will crush us..."

Xiao Changgan choked back a sob, "Mom, couldn't you find some old friends to ask for an investment to help us get through this tough time?"

"An investment?" His mother let out a bitter laugh, "Now that Emperor's Honor Group has cut us off, who would dare invest in us? All those old friends of ours are now avoiding me, not even picking up the phone. I've realized that there's no such thing as true friendship - it's all about personal gain!"

Xiao Hailong's voice was trembling as he said, "Grandma, if there's no such thing as friendship, only personal gain, why did Lei Chen, that good-for-nothing, get to know so many big shots and they all gave him face? What benefits could he bring to them?"

The old lady sighed, "Lei Chen may look like a one-dimensional character, but he really has the talent for talking people up and down. I've heard that these big shots are being nice to him because he can read fortunes and do palm readings. But in reality, it's all just a bunch of nonsense, not much different from some old man under a tree doing fortune-telling!"

Xiao Hailong was puzzled, "Why do so many big shots believe him?"

The old lady said, "They believe him because he hasn't been caught out yet. These kinds of people are like the qigong masters and tai chi experts of yesteryear - each one is especially good at putting on a show, making everyone feel awed and flabbergasted. But once everyone wakes up to reality, these people usually turn out to be con artists who get what's coming to them!" JrNovels.com
