Xu Mo took the acquisition proposal and pretended to read it carefully.
Hongtu Real Estate was one of the older and more established real estate companies in this fictional world.
Its annual profit reached tens of billions!
In simple terms, it was a highly coveted and valuable asset.
Among the many companies vying for it was Shen Manni's.
However, due to Xu Corporation's substantial financial resources and extensive connections, it managed to outbid all competitors and secure this valuable asset!
Almost everyone believed this was a very profitable deal!
Once Hongtu Real Estate was acquired,
it was a surefire way to make a huge profit!
With a net gain of hundreds of billions in market value!
But for Xu Mo, it was not as simple as it seemed.
【Hehe... and they want me to review it. This is a trap left by the male lead, you know?】
【And he's a financial PhD graduate too. Use that brain of yours, which is as dumb as a pig, and think carefully, why would such a renowned real estate company suddenly sell all its shares, not even keeping a single one】
【Is there really not a single catch in this?】
【Ah... this is all part of the dog protagonist Lin Fan's plan. He has insider information that Dragon Country will soon crack down on the real estate industry, and not only that, Hongtu Real Estate itself has left behind many unfinished buildings】
【After the acquisition, not only will there be no profit, but we'll also have to pour in hundreds of billions of Huaxia Currency to compensate those who paid for houses but haven't moved in, it's a total trap】
Xu Mo flipped through the proposal listlessly, looking very serious to others.
But to Zhou Qiaoqiao, it was different!
Zhou Qiaoqiao was extremely shocked!
What's going on? Is this all a trap?
If it really is as Xu Mo thinks.
Then after acquiring Hongtu Real Estate, wouldn't they lose their shirts?
It wouldn't be a fatal blow.
But it would definitely result in a significant loss.
This was the first major plot twist in the book.
However, these were not important to Zhou Qiaoqiao!
What she cared more about was the fact that she and Xu Mo would lose money.
The two families were bound together by an arranged marriage.
So Xu Mo's money was her money.
Her money was Xu Mo's money!
Previously, Zhou Qiaoqiao did have thoughts of canceling the engagement.
Planning to part ways with Xu Mo!
But ever since she mysteriously gained the ability to hear Xu Mo's inner thoughts.
Everything changed!
She now absolutely refused to break off the engagement with Xu Mo!
"I oppose this plan!"
A sudden voice broke the silence in the meeting room.
It stood out like a sore thumb!
Li Ming's eyes widened like copper bells as he scanned the source of the voice, wondering who dared to oppose.
This plan was the result of his painstaking efforts, meticulously calculating how to acquire Hongtu Real Estate at the lowest price!
Describing it as the pinnacle of his career would not be an exaggeration.
Yet, someone dared to oppose it.
When Li Ming's gaze landed on the speaker, he immediately shut his mouth, not daring to show any expression.
As if he hadn't seen anything, he shifted his gaze elsewhere.
Others did the same.
Because the one who spoke was Zhou Qiaoqiao, their boss's wife!
Xu Mo was caught off guard, his eyes filled with confusion as he looked at Zhou Qiaoqiao.
【Damn! Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you also going crazy?】
"Zhou Qiaoqiao, what do you mean? Look at this proposal, it's written so well, so perfect, flawless, it's the most successful plan, what's there to oppose?"
Li Ming looked at Xu Mo with gratitude.
President Xu appreciated him so much, he must follow President Xu's lead in everything he does!
Zhou Qiaoqiao was rendered speechless, but she had the advantage of hearing Xu Mo's thoughts!
She didn't know the specifics, but Xu Mo did!
Zhou Qiaoqiao's only thought now was to extract Xu Mo's thoughts!
She casually tossed the proposal Xu Mo handed her, as if throwing away trash, onto the ground!
"Hongtu Real Estate has been the leading real estate company in the industry for decades, always doing well, why would they suddenly sell all their shares, not even keeping a single one, haven't you ever questioned that deeper?"
With a thud!
Zhou Qiaoqiao stood up abruptly, her cold eyes scanning everyone in the room!
To be honest, they hadn't questioned it, some had even investigated, but found nothing.
One was the male lead's "dumbness halo," which affected the entire world.
Two, they could only gather the obvious reasons.
At this moment, Li Ming felt it was necessary to stand up and express his stance!
After all, Xu Mo valued his talents so much, he felt honored and had to do something!
"President Zhou, the owner of Hongtu Real Estate is emigrating abroad, the family is in disarray, they decided to sell all their shares."
"Ahem... the owner of Hongtu Real Estate has many wives and children, and also keeps many mistresses outside, there were originally more than ten heirs, this time the media exposed seven or eight suspected illegitimate children of the owner coming to look for their father, causing a huge scandal."
"Temporarily setting aside these, their company ranks ninth in national real estate sales, has been profitable for over a decade, and now has over a hundred billion in liquid assets."
"Recently, house prices have dropped a bit, but they can still maintain normal profits, President Zhou, I think this is their strength. What do you think?"
【Haha... as expected of my number one lackey, speaking so convincingly, yet completely brainless】
【You only see their profits, you haven't personally checked out their projects in other cities, only the ones in Shanghai are selling well】
【But in other cities, they've all turned into unfinished buildings, opening sales means running away】
【As for the hundreds of billions in liquid assets, do you think it's Pinduoduo? Come help me cut for a house? Investigate further and you'll find it's borrowed liquid assets from abroad, it's like a high-interest loan, and you have to pay back double... no, triple...】
【But what does this have to do with me? Lose money and lose money】
【These details, Zhou Qiaoqiao would never think of, let alone these fools】
【Forget it, let's open a bottle of champagne to celebrate first】
Clap clap clap-------
Suddenly, applause rang out in the meeting room.
Xu Mo stood up, clapping, he now looked like an Oscar-winning actor, every expression and action seemed natural.
This was a useless ability given by the system at the beginning.
To make it easier to follow the plot.
"With Li Ming, my Xu Corporation's empire will surely flourish?"
"Call the secretary, bring out the champagne I keep in my office, let's celebrate today."

esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.

+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
