Led by Xu Mo, the conference room erupted in a thunderous applause!
The Xu Corporation belonged to the Xu family, not the Zhou family.
As the boss, Xu Mo took the lead in applauding.
This matter was now settled.
Because once Xu Mo made a decision,
Zhou Qiaoqiao usually wouldn't change the plan.
Even if she did, Xu Mo wouldn't listen.
Of course, that was assuming she couldn't present an absolutely convincing argument.
And Zhou Qiaoqiao, now knowing the truth, was utterly shocked!
Everything made sense now.
Just moments ago, when Xu Mo was thinking about squandering money,
Zhou Qiaoqiao wanted nothing more than to strangle her fiancé!
While others were desperate to make money,
Her fiancé was thinking about how to lose it.
Although Zhou Qiaoqiao hadn't read many novels, when she heard Xu Mo say her role was that of an evil villainess,
She decided she would be a competent villainess!
That would do justice to her true nature!
"Hmph, Li Ming, you've got some nerve!"
BANG------
Zhou Qiaoqiao's delicate hand slammed hard on the table.
The sound was not small!
It instantly drew the attention of everyone in the conference room!
Everyone was dumbfounded.
In the past, even if Zhou Qiaoqiao disagreed with Xu Mo's decisions, she would turn a blind eye.
How come today she suddenly seemed like a different person?
The most confused of all was Xu Mo, who was familiar with Zhou Qiaoqiao's character.
Xu Mo felt like crying.
[Zhou Qiaoqiao, if we have issues, can't we discuss them properly?]
[Please stop ruining your own character]
[Weren't you indifferent to Xu Corporation's business before? Don't come out to make trouble, be good]
Li Ming looked at Xu Mo with pleading eyes.
If Zhou Qiaoqiao couldn't explain herself, it would mean she was just here to cause trouble!
As the boss, and as a fan of the original novel's plot!
Xu Mo absolutely refused to allow others to arbitrarily alter this novel!
Adaptation is not random editing, dramatization is not fabrication!
Don't add unnecessary scenes for yourself! Damn it!
Xu Mo's face darkened, his expression perfectly capturing the details, as if he was truly angry!
"Zhou Qiaoqiao, what do you mean? My patience has limits!"
Faced with Xu Mo's fierce glare,
Zhou Qiaoqiao was not afraid at all, because she knew her little man wasn't as scary as he appeared, his inner thoughts were even more adorable and silly than he showed!
Plus, she actually had evidence!
"Li Ming, why don't you put effort and invest heavily in acquiring other real estate properties, instead of focusing solely on acquiring Hongtu Real Estate?"
"Is their property better than others? Or are you secretly taking kickbacks?"
"And what about the hundreds of billions in liquidity, what if this money is external debt they borrowed from outside?"
After Zhou Qiaoqiao's speech,
Li Ming was left speechless.
Everyone present drew in a sharp breath.
The more they thought about it, the more terrifying it seemed!
They had only focused on the immediate benefits and Hongtu Real Estate's previous reputation.
They believed that as long as they bought it, they would definitely make money.
But they never imagined such a situation!
It wasn't entirely their fault.
Lin Fan's paid advertising and free large-scale promotion had contributed greatly to this development.
The frenzied competition among some prominent families in Magic City
Had also created an illusion of scarcity.
Under this illusion, people's rationality had almost disappeared.
They just wanted to quickly acquire Hongtu Real Estate.
Xu Mo looked at Zhou Qiaoqiao with an expression like he was seeing a monster.
[Am I crazy, or are you?]
[How do you know all these things?]
[This shouldn't be happening!]
Xu Mo couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.
Zhou Qiaoqiao felt a bit shy under her fiancé's gaze, but still confidently showed her best side to Xu Mo.
That's right, I didn't actually know all this information.
But my adorable little man, my little husband, you knew it all!
Zhou Qiaoqiao was secretly elated, using the information Xu Mo knew to show off in front of him.
And he even showed a shocked expression.
This feeling of satisfaction was even more thrilling than if she had unexpectedly earned a billion dollars!
Li Ming felt he had lost face and stubbornly argued,
"Chairman Zhou, all of this is just your speculation, how can you be so certain?"
First, his strategic plan was tossed aside like garbage.
This made Li Ming feel unhappy.
Now he was being scolded harshly.
Actions need to be based on evidence.
Without proof, it was really hard for Li Ming to be convinced.
His courage to question Zhou Qiaoqiao didn't come from Stefanie Sun's song,
But from the appreciation Xu Mo had shown earlier.
Moreover, this was Xu family territory.
That's why Li Ming dared to be a bit tougher.
Xu Mo looked at this lackey with somewhat grateful eyes.
His expression seemed to say, well done!
Li Ming noticed his master's gaze and was instantly as happy as a 300-pound fat man.
Zhou Qiaoqiao crossed her arms, her budding aura of a female overlord bursting forth.
"Hehe... We'll know soon enough if we have someone investigate, won't we?"
"Hongtu's houses are selling well in Magic City, but what about other cities? Have you checked the sales situation in third and fourth-tier cities?"
"I bet you haven't!"
Zhou Qiaoqiao's words cut to the heart of the matter.
Like a sharp sword slicing through endless darkness,
Allowing a ray of light to shine through.
As if struck by sudden enlightenment.
Even the most foolish among them noticed something was amiss.
Li Ming's hands and feet began to tremble uncontrollably.
If the acquisition of Hongtu went through,
And everything turned out as Zhou Qiaoqiao said,
Then he, as the one who proposed the plan,
Would have caused the Xu family to suffer unnecessary losses due to his misjudgment.
He would inevitably face legal consequences!
The Xu family had a very comprehensive legal department.
Thirty years of operating a sewing machine, thirty years of being a third wheel would surely be his fate.
Spending the rest of his life in prison.
The mere thought of it was terrifying!
In fact, this was likely to be Li Ming's ultimate fate.
"How... how do you know all this?"
Xu Mo asked, his expression slightly unnatural.
Zhou Qiaoqiao was equally confused for a moment.
Yes---
How did she know this highly confidential information?
But in the next instant, she came up with an answer!
To be precise, it wasn't her own idea, but what Xu Mo had told her, well, through his inner thoughts.
They were like an old married couple.
Zhou Qiaoqiao felt that using this information wasn't really stealing.
[I've never heard that Zhou Qiaoqiao had her own intelligence department?]
[Even if she did, with the Zhou family's resources, it's impossible to gather such perfect intelligence]
[Something's not right, there must be a problem somewhere]
[Or maybe this woman isn't the Zhou Qiaoqiao I know at all]
Zhou Qiaoqiao smiled, her tone very alluring, "I'm sorry! This is information our Zhou family recently obtained. You're not upset that I'm only telling you now, are you?"
Damn it!
This female villain has gone crazy too.
Xu Mo's worldview was crumbling, he deliberately put on a stern face and said,
"You could have chosen not to tell me."
[I really hoped you wouldn't say anything, just stand by quietly as a bystander, wouldn't it have been better if the meeting just ended? Sigh... This is really unlucky...]
"But since you chose to tell me, if the situation proves to be true after investigation, you'll be a hero to our Xu family, and the rewards won't be small."
Xu Mo said symbolically.
After all, he couldn't possibly say in front of so many people that he actually wanted to lose money.
That no one should stop him today.
If he did that, forget about whether the other characters' personas would collapse!
He, as the male villain, would have already declared game over for himself.
Zhou Qiaoqiao looked at Xu Mo with loving eyes, her seductive and sexy lips parted slightly as she smiled and said,
"What hero or not, you're my husband, helping you is helping myself."
Xu Mo's little heart was about to jump out!
Not from being moved, but from being shocked and stimulated.
[Look at this, is this human speech coming out of your mouth?]
[How can such words come out of your mouth?]
Xu Mo put on an expression of an old devoted admirer and coldly snorted,
"How many times have I told you? I only like Shen Manni! Are you hard of hearing? If so, I'll have someone take you to see a doctor later!"
Just when everyone thought
That this time Zhou Qiaoqiao's little universe would directly explode,
Zhou Qiaoqiao's behavior once again surprised them.
Zhou Qiaoqiao intimately linked arms with Xu Mo, her face wearing a smile that could kill,
And said words that would make every man in the world fall in love.
"I don't mind at all. Your feelings for her are your business, and my feelings for you are mine. After we're married, if you've got the guts, you can even bring Shen Manni home for dinner with us sometime."
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
invincible power, Gu Changge transmigrates into a fantasy world, bound to a sign-in system that grants him cultivation rewards and various peerless treasures daily. While others struggle desperately to break through their cultivation realms, he has long since reached the pinnacle of the Great Dao, becoming a reclusive Emperor whose true strength even he himself cannot fathom. Originally planning to lie low and retire peacefully on Purple Bamboo Peak, the system suddenly issues a new task — take on disciples. With no other choice, Gu Changge casually picks up a few disciples: The eldest disciple, born with a War God Constitution, is thrown a copy of "War God Stratagems" by him, and ends up conquering the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, becoming a peerless War God who sweeps across the cosmos. The second disciple, possessing a Chaos Sword Body, can break all techniques with a single sword, his swordsmanship unmatched throughout history. He points his sword at the heavens: "My master said, the sword and the man stand together. If the sword perishes... my master will give me another one." The third disciple, a reborn Empress who returns to her throne, her elegance and grace overshadowing all beings. And without anyone noticing, his own sect, the Qingxuan Sect, has become the number one sect on the continent. Looking at these unbelievably formidable disciples, Gu Changge, holding the "Primordial Purple Qi" he just signed in for, falls into deep thought: — Wasn't this supposed to be a peaceful retirement? How did I become the ultimate master?!

Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
