Chapter 1059: Tea Had Gotten Cold
Ning Shu had been keeping an eye on Chu Xiaoran this whole time. She knew that he had sold his only villa and was about to use this money for a new start. All she could say was that he was pretty naive.
Chu Xiaoran’s collapse was the work of the government. There was pretty much no one in T City that would dare to collaborate with Chu Xiaoran. Even if they were willing to collaborate with him, Chu Xiaoran should have some sort of capital to back to collaboration up. Did he think that he could do it with just a couple million?
The current Chu Xiaoran was no longer a business tycoon, an entity that other companies fought to get the chance to collaborate with.
The people had left and the tea had gotten cold. This was what reality was like.
However, Chu Xiaoran seemed very determined to succeed.
Ning Shu felt that the only reason that Chu Xiaoran was able to keep jumping around like this was because he still had money. If he no longer had this money, he probably wouldn’t have that enthusiasm anymore.
However, before Ning Shu even made a move, the people she had sent to keep an eye on Chu Xiaoran told her that Chu Xiaoran had already found a business partner.
This fast!?
She was a little taken aback. Could it be that Chu Xiaoran really was going to make a comeback?
More news soon came from that side. It was a project for new energy development that seemed pretty promising and the company that was collaborating with Chu Xiaoran also seemed like a legit company.
Ning Shu sent people to look into it and found that the company was a complete dummy corporation. Even the offices were rented. They simply put their company name over the door. From the looks of things, they had their eye on Chu Xiaoran’s money.
They had clearly planned things meticulously since Chu Xiaoran had already fallen for the bait. Both sides had already signed the contract and Chu Xiaoran had already invested half his money.
Ning Shu just watched silently. She didn’t even consider warning Chu Xiaoran. Chu Xiaoran had definitely let it slip that he had money while searching for a business opportunity, and so some scammers came up with this idea.
Chu Xiaoran had only invested half of his money so far, but the scammers would definitely come up with some way to get all the money out of him.
For better or for worse, Chu Xiaoran was a businessman. However, he had been in a very impatient and anxious state ever since he got out of prison, so he had lost his basic calmness and rationality. Furthermore, the scammers had done everything very carefully and considered all the possible issues. It was even possible to find this company online.
They were also registered with the bureau of industry and commerce. That was why Chu Xiaoran finally agreed to the collaboration.
Ning Shu just watched like it was an entertaining show. The difficulties Chu Xiaoran had face since getting out of jail naturally contained her efforts. With her current social status, it was a simple matter to make things hard for Chu Xiaoran.
As of now, their situation was completely reversed. She was the one watching indifferently as Chu Xiaoran struggled.
The proud and aloof Chu Xiaoran who had dictated other people’s fates probably never would’ve imagined he’d have to face a day like this.
The scammer soon notified Chu Xiaoran that they didn’t have enough capital and would have to stop this project. This meant that the money Chu Xiaoran invested before would’ve been wasted. Chu Xiaoran gritted his teeth, then decided to stake it all and invest all the money he had left.
The next day, what Chu Xiaoran faced was a completely empty company. All the technical staff were gone. They had all run off.
Chu Xiaoran instantly realized that he had gotten scammed. His limbs went weak. He felt like his soul was about to leave his body.
This sum of money had carried all his hopes, but now he had nothing left. He couldn’t even guarantee anything about his life from now on and he still had a family of two to feed.
Chu Xiaoran had simply been too greedy. He wanted to use the money he had in hand to earn a large sum. He was impatient to make a comeback. Back then he had only invested half the money. If he had immediately stopped the damage at that, at the very least, he’d still have half the money left.
The current Chu Xiaoran could be said to have had all his hopes turned to dust. For a moment, he even considered death. However, as he stood on the skyscraper and looked down at the dizzying height below, his heart shrank with fear and he lost the courage to even seek death.
