Lu residence.
Lu Yaohua looked at the thick stack of bills and paced around the study anxiously.
He wished that this was just a dream. He had thought that he would be fine after getting through these few days. But more debts had to be paid. When would these days end?!
Now, he was increasingly convinced of Master Liu’s words. Every day that he did not sell that piece of land, he would be unlucky!
He had to think of a way to sell it as soon as possible, but the auction process was still underway. He called that place several times a day just to hasten the change of ownership!
If this continued, the Lu Corporation that he had worked so hard to build would be finished!
“What should I do?” he thought.
What should he do?
He glanced at the empty shelf from the corner of his eye and could not help but feel his heart ache. He had sold everything that he could in the past few days, but this was just a drop in the bucket. It could not fill the bottomless abyss of his debts.
“Am I really going to declare bankruptcy?” he wondered.
He immediately rejected the idea. If he really did that, the losses would be minimal, but that would mean that he would lose the right to compete for the position of the Tang family’s head!
If he really succeeded in becoming the head of the Tang family, this small amount would be nothing in comparison.
He could only bite the bullet now. It was better than admitting defeat!
Just as he pulled himself together and was about to calculate his assets and see if there was anything else he could sell, his phone rang. He picked it up and looked at the caller ID. After hesitating for a moment, he chose to answer the call.
Lu Yaohua put on a fawning expression and asked, “Chairman Wang, why did you call suddenly?”
“Boss Lu, it’s not that I want to say this, but aren’t you taking too long to repay the money? Even a snail can go faster than you. Didn’t you say not long ago that you’d be able to pay this week? This is already the last day. Don’t tell me you still haven’t prepared the money?”
A helpless voice came from the other end.
Lu Yaohua smiled dryly and said, “What are you talking about? I’ve been a little tight on cash recently. It’s not like you don’t know my situation, but don’t worry, I’ll definitely repay the money to you. What do you think?”
“Of course I know you’ll pay me back, but you might take a few years to pay me back. I can’t wait that long. Besides, it’s not that I don’t want to do favors, but I’m really in a hurry to use money. If it really doesn’t work, you can sell your house. In any case, if you make a comeback in the future, what kind of house can’t you have? This will be nothing.”
What he said made sense, but there was no way Lu Yaohua would comply.
After all, Tang Wenyi would definitely be the first to disagree!
All at once, his thoughts were running wild.
He looked at the bills on the table. This was the first person he needed to pay back the money to at the moment. The rest could be delayed. 3 million yuan was not a lot for him in his heyday, but things were different now. He would have to consider for half a day even if it was 1 million yuan, not to mention three times the amount!
“I understand. I’ll try to borrow money now to pay you back. What do you think?”
“Alright, let’s put it this way! If I don’t see your remittance tomorrow morning, don’t blame me for being uncivil!”
Immediately after, he hung up.
Lu Yaohua sat on the chair dejectedly. It was true that troubles never came singly, and the more he thought about it, the more his head hurt.
Not long after, the door was pushed open. Because of the crisis at home recently, Tang Wenyi could only stay at home and not even go shopping.
She slapped a piece of white paper down on the table and said unhappily, “When can I wake up early in the morning and not see these figures? The creditors are showing up every day. Although my friends are not saying anything on the surface, they must be looking down on me behind my back!”
As the daughter of the Tang family, she had never been so mistreated.
“Have you thought of a solution?”
Lu Yaohua shook his head and said, “Can you borrow some money from your sisters?”
“How is that possible!? They can’t wait to laugh at me! Forget about getting help from them.”
This reminded Tang Wenyi of everything that she had experienced at the Tang family. When she came back, she decided to never bow down to those people. If word got out, she would not have the face to return to the capital!
The study fell silent.
After some time, she asked worriedly, “Are we really out of options?”
“Recently, not only have the debts been pressing, but the company has also been incurring losses. Now we can only continue operating with the support of cash flow. Is Grandpa really determined not to lend money?”
Lu Yaohua scratched his head and said stubbornly.
Tang Wenyi nodded with a grave expression. “I called to ask again. Grandpa has decided not to do anything.”
In fact, the other party only gave her two choices. Either hang in there, and there might be a turnaround, or get a divorce and take her son to the Tang family. She could forget about inheriting the family business then.
How could she accept this?
If one of her sisters was elected as the family head, she would definitely make things difficult for herself. At that time, there was a high chance that she would be ostracized by the Tang family. Taking control of the family business was her last trump card!
She paused for a moment before continuing, “Our precious son was sent to the hospital because his condition had worsened. The money I have now is to pay all his medical fees. I don’t have any spare money.”
Lu Yaohua’s mood worsened when Lu Ze was mentioned. He picked up the gold Pixiu beside him and put it in a red gift box. “Let’s go borrow money. I helped Zhuo Wenbin before. He’ll definitely lend us money.”
“Then I’ll go with you!”
…
In a villa in the western suburb, a middle-aged man in a golden bathrobe was smoking.
Lu Yaohua, who had changed into a suit, pushed his gift to him and smiled. “Don’t you love this Pixiu? I brought it here specially for you today.”

The last time Zhuo Wenbin visited Lu Yaohua’s house as a guest, he had stared intently at the golden mythical beast and kept praising him for his good taste.
Lu Yaohua had spent a lot of money to buy this Pixiu. It was very precious and he rarely let people touch it for fear that someone might break it accidentally. If he did not have a favor to ask now, he would not have been willing to give it away.
He consoled himself. “It’s just a golden Pixiu. No matter how expensive it is, it can’t be that expensive. It’s better to use it to exchange for what we really want.”
As expected, when Zhuo Wenbin heard this, his eyes instantly lit up. He carefully opened the gift box and held it in his hand to observe it. He sighed with emotion. “This color is really beautiful! It feels better to the touch than I have imagined!”
He observed it admiringly and even let out cries of delight from time to time..
