Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 273: A gift for my mother-in-law

"Old Wang, it’s good that you stayed and managed to get through this."

Shencheng.

A few tycoons were drinking tea in a mansion.

The one making tea was none other than the boss of Shencheng Bay, Xu Xing, and his guest was the one-time richest man, Wang Mubiao of the Wanda Group.

Amid the crisis of consecutive real estate company failures, Wang Mubiao had found himself burdened with debts exceeding six hundred billion.

After six years, he had finally managed to sell off all the equity and business interests of Wanda, paying off all his debts.

The current Wang Mubiao bore little resemblance to his former self with his bold and grand statements. Hearing Xu Xing’s compliments, he sighed and shook his head, "Actually, I wanted to flee overseas too, but I am too old now, and my family for generations have been from the academy; I could not become a criminal over personal selfishness."

"That’s why you needn’t envy those who fled," Xu Xing said with a snort, "I saw Jack Ma come back recently and after talking to him for a while, I realized that those who have fled and changed nationalities are not living comfortably abroad either."

"I know," Wang Mubiao nodded. "I heard that Eagle acted tough!"

"That’s right," Xu Xing chuckled softly, "Overnight, the banks in Eagle took all the money from their overseas customers, just like that, a blatant robbery. They then moved their money to Switzerland, not realizing that was also a puppet of Eagle, so they could only transfer it again, this time to New Jiapo."

"But New Jiapo also isn’t easy to deal with, just another puppet of Eagle."

"You know what happened?" Xu Xing scoffed, "Even New Jiapo started to move against these foreign capitals! Then, a bunch of people ended up having to move their money back to the Hong Kong District! If you ask me, why renounce their citizenship in the first place? Now, sure, their money is safe in Hong Kong, but they are outsiders now."

Wang Mubiao nodded, "I hadn’t foreseen this, but I am also relieved that I managed to survive."

Xu Xing spoke, "Now, Jack Ma and his group of fugitives are panicking, wanting to come back, so they’re trying to find a way through me and Mr. Ma."

At this, he lowered his voice to a business tone, "Have you received the news about the recent international service? Eagle’s presence in East Middle won’t easily recover; its influence has waned. The situation in the Nuclear Bomb Country is also gradually becoming clear. I reckon Eagle’s collapse is just a matter of moments, and all the foreign capital stored there will definitely be the big losers, filling the deficit for Eagle!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Mubiao too was moved, "I also know that the global focus will shift to the domestic scene in the future, but unlike you, I’m not secure in Shencheng. Mr. Xu, my visit today is, to be honest, to see if I can establish some connections. Everyone is moving to Shencheng now, and they all say that you, Xu Xing, are becoming the kingpin here."

Xu Xing quickly denied it in surprise, "President Wang, please don’t say that. The waters are deep here in Shencheng; I’ve only managed to gain a bit of opportunity and have some capability, but I’m far from being a kingpin. You flatter me."

President Wang, "You’re being too modest, Mr. Xu. Even the traditional powerhouses that have moved here to reside are willing to show you respect."

Xu Xing, flattered by the former big brother, naturally felt inwardly delighted.

Seeing that Wang Mubiao still had some fight left in him, Xu Xing could hardly contain his wish to help him out. As he poured tea for Wang Mubiao, he asked, "I wonder if President Wang has joined ’Tianfeng’ Capital?"

Wang Mubiao heaved a sigh, "Not to hide it from you, Mr. Xu, these past years I’ve been struggling to catch my breath. By the time I became free to consider it, I had missed the best opportunity to join ’Tianfeng.’ As you know, our circle likes to praise or trample on people. Seeing that I had let go of the whole Wanda’s ecological interest chain, they felt I was no longer of any value, so no one recommended me to join the Tianfeng club."

Mr. Xu understood and readily said, "Well, President Wang, I am one of the original members of the ’Tianfeng’ fund’s South China branch along with General Little Ma. I can recommend you to join the club, and then I’ll refer someone to you. If you seize the opportunity, this person has a prime piece of land in the Shencheng City district!"

Wang Mubiao’s eyes lit up.

Now Shencheng was where various capitals wanted to stake their claim. If he could get a development site there, it meant entering Shencheng’s economic circle and owning a calling card.

For the present-day Wang Mubiao, it truly was a chance to return to the stage.

"Who is the person Mr. Xu mentioned?"

"Pei Li from Jiangcheng, President Pei!" Xu Xing stated concisely.

"It’s her!" Wang Mubiao’s face changed drastically, "There are rumors that the stocks in these groups under her name aren’t..."

Xu Xing chuckled lightly, "That’s not important. The key is who’s behind her!"

He refilled Wang Mubiao’s cup with tea, smiling, "Pei Li has a lot of people watching the land she holds now. The point is not how much money you can make from developing this plot, but rather that it gives you the chance to establish a connection with the influential figure behind President Pei."

Wang Mubiao got it.

Though outsiders might not know who was behind Pei Li.

Based on her holding company, ’Thunder’ Group, one could guess that the relationship was complex.

Now in the capital circle, there was no one who didn’t know ’Thunder’ Group, the only designated agent for all the export quotas of fruits, vegetables, and meat products in Shencheng.

With annual revenue in the hundreds of billions.

Such a huge cake, if you dare to take it all by yourself, it shows that your background is powerful!

And the piece of land in Shencheng she had was actually a gift from Gu Feng to his mother-in-law.

Gu Feng remembered when he had first met Lin Yue in Jiangcheng, and how her mother, Liu Yan, was able to pull out one billion from her savings to help him start a fund company.

Back then, Gu Feng promised to share the profits with his mother-in-law in the future.

Later, Liu Yan refused, but Gu Feng simply gifted her a plot of land in Shencheng.

Liu Yan, upon receiving this gift, was quite flustered.

As a gift from her son-in-law, she couldn’t refuse.

But keeping it without doing anything seemed too conspicuous.

So, Liu Yan turned to Lin Yu’s girlfriend, Pei Li, asking her to find a way to cash in quickly.

Pei Li, who had now moved to Shencheng for development, naturally sought out Xu Xing, who was keen on entering the Gu Family circle, to find a capable person to develop the plot.

Xu Xing, currently preoccupied with several properties and to avoid suspicion, was asked by Pei Li to find someone not obviously connected to the Gu Family circle, to make use of the land.

Thus, Xu Xing set up this meeting with Wang Mubiao, intending to give the old brother a lift, to lend him a hand.
