What's Wrong With Being A Salted Fish?

A Yellow Rose 21

"What did you say!" Xu Yan stood up from the chair suddenly, and the excessive force made his eyes go dark.

"Mr. Xu... They said that they have decided to appoint Mr. Fei as the project leader. Mr. Shi, Mr. Shi lost the election..." the secretary said with his head down.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yan's legs went weak and he fell back into the chair. He felt stars in his eyes and could no longer see clearly.

It's over! It's all over! Xu Yan weakly raised his arms to cover his face: 1.5 billion! It's all the current liquidity of Xu's company, and now it's all gone.

Shi Jianan! Xu Yan growled with gritted teeth: Didn't Shi Jianan tell him it was foolproof?! Didn't he just have to take a picture of the ground?

At this moment, Xu Yan suddenly had an idea. After seeing Shi Jianan's signature, he felt relieved and did not talk to the other party again. These words were told to him by Xu Zhaobing.

Where is Xu Zhaobing?!

"Where is Xu Zhaobing?" Xu Yan looked up and asked his secretary with his eyes wide open.

"Xu, Director Xu resigned a few days ago." The secretary replied in a low voice.

Xu Yan slammed the table and shouted, "when? How come I didn't know about this!"

The secretary clenched the documents in her arms, raised her eyes slightly and looked at Xu Yan tentatively: "You, you know, at that time you said he could leave if he wanted to, and told him to get out quickly..."

Xu Yan's breath suddenly disappeared. This project caused Xu's company to lose so much money. How was he going to make up for this loss?!

"Also, Mr. Xu." The secretary suddenly said again.

Xu Yan covered his face, feeling very bad. He replied in a muffled voice: "What's the matter?"

"Many companies want to stop cooperating with us. They all say it is our problem. The total amount of liquidated damages is about 360 million." The secretary handed the stack of documents in his arms to Xu Yan, wishing he could leave here the next second.

Xu Yan couldn't believe it. He took the document and kept flipping through it. Then his eyes went dark again. Where would he get the money from?!

Before Xu Yan could muster up the energy to deal with these things, there was a knock on his office door.

What else is going on! Xu Yan's mood hit rock bottom, and he almost squeezed out the words from between his teeth: "Come in!"

Xu Yan thought that the person knocking on the door was a company employee, but unexpectedly, it was a uniformed police officer who came in.

"Hello, Mr. Xu. You are suspected of tax evasion, intentional injury, and murder. Please come with us." The other party came in and got straight to the point. Before Xu Yan could react, he was taken away by two policemen.

...

In the hospital, Mr. Xu, who had learned that Xu Yan had successfully acquired Area C, was in a good mood. He was leaning on the hospital bed to rest, waiting for Xu Yan to bring him follow-up good news, when Xu Zhaobing knocked on the door and came in.

"Zhaobing, I'm not scolding you, but you should learn from your brother. It's okay, there will be another chance next time."

Old Mr. Xu had a kind face and tried to comfort Xu Zhaobing. After all, the next development project had little to do with Xu Zhaobing, as Xu Yan accounted for the majority of the capital.

"Next time? I'm afraid there won't be a next time." Xu Zhaobing smiled slightly. He was not hit but was in a good mood.

"What do you mean? If you can't speak, just get out and don't make me angry here!" Old Master Xu frowned and scolded.
