Manager Zhang knocked on Sun Xue's office door with a serious look on his face and said straight to the point, "Boss Sun, Manager Gou's behavior has been a little abnormal recently."

"Oh?"

"Didn't you ask me to install a camera in the office? Although I can't see what he is doing on the computer from the video, there is a small detail that arouses my high suspicion."

"What small details?" Sun Xue became nervous when she heard that.

"Just yesterday, I saw him take out a USB drive from his pocket and plug it into the computer. I wonder what he backed up? After the operation was completed, he carefully put the USB drive into his pocket quickly and looked around. I felt that there must be something wrong here."

"What do you suspect?"

"It's impossible to make an accurate judgment at the moment. Moreover, I noticed that he no longer leaves his computer in the office recently. He takes it away as soon as he gets off work. Could he be suspicious?" Manager Zhang frowned.

"Keep watching his every move and see what tricks he's going to play."

"I understand, Mr. Sun, should we consider calling the police?"

Sun Xue thought for a moment, "Call the police? We don't have any evidence. Calling the police would only alert the enemy. For the sake of caution, let's not do it for now."

After seeing off Manager Zhang, Sun Xue called Zhang Zhaodi:

"Zhaodi, is there any new discovery from Zhao Haimei?"

"It hasn't been discovered yet."

"Okay, keep an eye on it."

Liu Qingsong still felt a little resentful when he learned that Sun Xue asked Zhang Zhaodi to be her full-time driver.

However, he was always confident and did not notice anything.

He didn't know that Sun Xue had already lost trust in him and felt desperate.

Ever since Zhao Haimei became pregnant, he had become even more stubborn in front of her. He didn't realize that he had already embarked on a path of no return, and was going further and further...

Kyoto city.

Wu Zechen was sincere and patiently explained to Sun Xue on the phone:

"Mr. Sun, it's not that I don't keep my promise. My company is really in crisis. It's really stressful for me to come up with 100 million yuan in investment in one month! However, I will try my best to find a solution..."

Sun Xue naturally understood that Mr. Wu was trying to put him off. She had checked privately and found that Mr. Wu's company did not have any new projects. His claim that he would invest all the money in new projects to save himself was pure nonsense.

She no longer had any trust in Wu Zechen.

"Mr. Wu, these things are written into the contract. If you make these excuses now, can our cooperation still go on?"

Wu Zechen said in a very kind tone, "Boss Sun, I understand, I will find a way to solve the funding issue as soon as possible.

How about this, you invest the remaining 40 million first, and I will add more money as soon as the funds are in place. Do you think this is okay? When it comes to cooperation, we should put the overall situation first and not affect the progress of the project."

Sun Xue refused decisively, "That's impossible. Besides, my investment is for the later stage of the project, and my company doesn't have sufficient funds to spend at the moment."

"Mr. Sun, when doing business, you have to be good at discovering and utilizing government resources. You have such a good relationship with Vice Mayor Wang, you can definitely apply for a loan from the bank! I think Vice Mayor Wang will definitely help you..."

Wu Zechen's plan went smoothly and he gave Sun Xue advice.

"I have submitted an application, and the bank responded that my company can only apply for 50 million at most, and Deputy Mayor Wang can't help me."

"Oh, let's all think of a solution!" Wu Zechen responded dimly as his plan failed.

"Mr. Wu, I hope you can raise 100 million yuan as soon as possible. I don't want our cooperation to be affected by this."

Wu Zechen answered very straightforwardly, "Okay, okay, I'll find a way right away."

After hanging up the phone, Wu Zechen angrily called Manager Gou:

"Manager Gou, what's going on? It's been several months, and you still can't figure it out?"

Manager Gou replied tremblingly, "Mr. Wu, Mr. Sun's company's financial system is very secure. I have tried many times but have not been able to decipher it. However, I have a clue. I think it won't be long before there will be results..."

Mr. Wu vaguely felt that Manager Gou's actions this time were unexpectedly abnormal.

Logically speaking, with Manager Gou's skills and abilities, it is impossible that he could not even handle such a small task.

Wu Zechen, who was suspicious by nature, questioned, "Manager Gou, this is not like your style at all. Are you playing any tricks?"

"Mr. Wu, we really encountered a technical problem this time. I will find a way to solve it. Don't worry."

Manager Gou could sense that Mr. Wu had doubts about him...

But now he is in a dilemma and cannot back down.

After weighing the pros and cons, he had no choice but to lie to Wu Zechen in order to protect himself.

His handle is still in Zhao Haimei's hands and he has been controlled by Zhao Haimei.

Moreover, under the instigation of Zhao Haimei, the greedy man ended up becoming a grasshopper on the same rope with Zhao Haimei.

At the beginning, he had the ambition to expose Zhao Haimei to Mr. Wu, but now he has been dragged into this and has no choice!

Besides, there is another man beside Zhao Haimei now, Liu Qingsong. Last time at the Ruby Bar, he had already tasted the power of Liu Qingsong's fist...

He had planned that after he finished the last big deal, got the payment from Zhao Haimei and got the video back, he would resign from the company and never work for anyone again.

Magic City.

Li Siyu excitedly brought good news to Sun Xue.

"Mr. Sun, the fall enrollment has set a record. The courses are very popular among students and the number of applicants is full."

"Manager Li, thank you for your hard work!"

Sun Xue was so happy to hear such good news.

Li Siyu did not disappoint her expectations and delivered a satisfactory answer less than a year after taking office.

"Mr. Sun, you said last time that you wanted to expand the scale of franchised schools to 100. I think now is the best opportunity."

"Well, I've been thinking about this recently. I'll discuss it with Bach before making a final decision."

Speaking of Bach, Sun Xue couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Li, how is your progress with Bach?"

Li Siyu sighed, "How can I put it? I feel like I'm just wishful thinking. Last time I told him that I wanted to go to his country for a few days, but he refused right away. It's really sad..."

Sun Xue comforted her, "Maybe Bach also had his difficulties."

"What's his difficulty? If it were other couples, they would be overjoyed if they said that. I didn't sense any surprise in his voice. In my opinion, I'm not in his heart at all..." Li Siyu complained.

"It's okay. He will be here soon. Then you can spend every day together."

Li Siyu replied awkwardly, "I hope so!"

After hanging up the phone with Li Siyu, Sun Xue immediately called Bach to ask if they should take this opportunity to expand into the training and education market.

Bach decisively gave the answer, "Sun Xue, the global economy has shown signs of depression. Remember, you must learn to do subtraction at the moment. Don't expand blindly, otherwise you will end up in a dead end!"

It turned out that Bach's prediction was very accurate.

But in Sun Xue's opinion, Bach was worrying too much.

Looking around, the domestic economy is developing rapidly. Take real estate for example. In just a few months in Quancheng City, new real estate projects have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and there is a thriving scene everywhere...

Little did we know that the global financial crisis was approaching step by step...
