Chapter 453: Chapter 453: One Pit Deeper Than Another

On the other side, Ding Lijuan and Ding Liang exited Tianhui Company, and happily high-fived each other in celebration.

"This is wonderful, we’ve finally gotten rid of this lousy company!"

"From now on, no one will come to bother us again!"

In fact, there had already been a big problem at Tianhui Construction Company these last few days!

The present state of Tianhui Construction Company was entirely that of a hot potato, and it was precisely for this reason that they were willing to sell the company to Chen Xuan at such a low price.

Not only were they selling the company, but also a huge amount of debt!

Ding Lijuan said with emotion, "It really does feel light to be free of debt! Once everything blows over, we’ll go find Chen Xuan for that two million, maybe open a noodle shop or something. Our life will still be sweet! Hahaha..."

Han Bowwen, however, expressed some worry, "Lijuan, are what we’re doing too excessive? After all, the debt we’ve incurred this time isn’t small. Just dumping it all on Chen Xuan, Jingting is definitely going to be unhappy..."

Ding Lijuan snorted, "You know the debt we’ve incurred isn’t small! Even if Jingting is unhappy, at least she’ll have the money to pay it back."

"If the company were still in your hands, could you afford to pay off that external debt?"

Han Bowwen felt helpless, "But I still feel like we’re being a bit unscrupulous. After all, Jingting is our daughter. Even if Chen Xuan has no money, in the end, won’t the money still have to come from Jingting’s pocket?"

Ding Liang advised, "Uncle, you really should be more open-minded; those external debts are just a drop in the ocean for my sister and her husband to clear up."

"Besides, as your daughter, it’s only right for her to pay off your debts!"

Han Bowwen began to get a bit impatient when he looked at Ding Liang, "And you have the nerve to say that! We trusted you, which is why we handed the company over for you to manage, and yet you ended up running it into the ground!"

As soon as Ding Lijuan heard this, her face immediately turned sour, "What are you talking about! Do you think it was easy for Xiao Liang to run around trying to make money for us? What else have you done all day but play mahjong?"

"You actually have the gall to blame Xiao Liang. Have you no shame at all!"

"Xiao Liang, don’t stoop to his level, he’s just senile!"

Ding Liang sighed, a look of remorse on his face, "Auntie, uncle is right, I did make a mistake this time. But I never expected Jinxiu City to collapse just as construction started!"

Guo Yueling also chimed in to back him up, "Exactly, it was just an accident. Who could have foreseen such a thing happening all of a sudden?"

Han Bowwen continued to grumble, "Couldn’t have foreseen it? Before we took on that project, Chen Xuan had already said the feng shui there was bad."

"If only you had listened to Chen Xuan back then, this disaster wouldn’t have happened!"

Slap!

Angered, Ding Lijuan’s hand flew to Han Bowwen’s head with a smack.

"Look at you! If you knew the feng shui at Jinxiu City was bad, why didn’t you stop Ding Liang from working on it earlier?"

"Who was it that said once Xiao Liang made some money, you’d take him to Las Vegas for a good half-month of fun, huh?!"

"I... I didn’t expect Chen Xuan to actually be right..." Han Bowwen, knowing he was at fault, dared not say more.

Ding Lijuan scoffed, "So that’s how it is now, no one should blame anyone else! Anyway, we’ve already dumped the company, what Chen Xuan does with it is his own problem now!"

Ding Liang nodded, "Auntie is right, let’s just put this matter behind us."

No sooner had Ding Liang said this than a voice arose from the entrance of the building.

"Put it behind you? You wish it were that simple!"

As the words were spoken, one could see a fat one-eyed man, followed by a dozen burly men adorned with tattoos, storming in aggressively.

These men, each with a ferocious look, were clearly not to be trifiled with, and even the building’s security didn’t dare to stop them.

In fact, the security guards all recognized this one-eyed dragon.

This one-eyed dragon, known as Xiong Xiazai, was a notorious local thug, specialized in usury.

Just within this building alone, numerous companies had borrowed money from Xiong Xiazai, only to be later forced into debt repayment by his visits, each fate more wretched than the last!

Upon seeing Xiong Xiazai lead his men over, Ding Lijuan and Han Bowwen suddenly turned pale with fear, trembling all over.

Chen Xuan had previously pulled the rug out from under Ding Liang and the others by having all the banks in Huai City refuse Ding Lijuan loans.

However, Chen Xuan had overlooked one crucial detail—the loan sharks!

At that time, to secure the Jinxiu City project, Ding Lijuan and Ding Liang, finding no bank that would lend to them, took a desperate gamble and mortgaged their company to Xiong Xiazai, borrowing a hundred million yuan from him!

Now, their investment had become a trap in Jinxiu City, and with the deadline for the usury installment repayment approaching, Ding Lijuan and the others simply couldn’t come up with the money to repay.

According to the agreement, they could only hand over their company to Xiong Xiazai to settle the debt.

And it wasn’t just the company they had to surrender—owing to the astronomical interest rates Xiong Xiazai charged, beside the company, Ding Lijuan and the others also had to pay an additional ten million yuan!

It was precisely because of this that Ding Lijuan was so eager to sell the company to Chen Xuan.

She was actually trying to transfer the heavy debt burden onto Chen Xuan’s shoulders!

This was the ultimate trap Ding Lijuan had prepared for Chen Xuan!

"Xia... Brother Xia, why have you come?" Ding Liang asked, bowing and scraping with extreme respect.

Xiong Xiazai’s expression was menacing, "Damn, if I hadn’t come, you guys would have probably run off without a trace by now, right!"

Ding Liang offered an awkward smile, "Brother Xia, what are you talking about? Our company is still here, how could we run? Haha..."

Xiong Xiazai slapped Ding Liang across the face, "Stop the fucking nonsense, do you really think I’m easy to fool!"

"I’ve already heard that your crappy project has gone to hell, when the hell are you going to pay back the money you owe me!"

Ding Lijuan said with much distress, "There is no need to be violent when just talking! So you know, we’ve already sold the company to someone else. If you want your money, you’ll have to go ask someone else for it!"

Xiong Xiazai flew into a rage, grabbed Ding Lijuan by the collar, and hoisted her up from the ground.

"Damn right you’re trying to play me!"

"Your company is already mortgaged to me, how dare you still sell it to someone else, you old hag, do you have a death wish!"

Xiong Xiazai’s eyes filled with murderous intent, like a ferocious mad dog, causing Ding Lijuan to be too frightened to make a sound.

Ding Liang quickly explained, "Brother Xia, you misunderstand. We sold the company just to pay back your loan!"

"The buyer of our company is the chairman of Jiaren Corporation, a billionaire. He’s promised to repay our loan for us. Go to him, and you’re sure to get your money!"

Xiong Xiazai became intrigued, surprised that there were still such fools in the world who would buy a company and take on its debts as well.

Xiong Xiazai had no use for the company; he was after the money.

Now that there was a chance to get the money directly, it was obviously a far better option!

"Alright, take me up there now, I want to have a nice chat with this new boss!"
