Undoubtedly, the bankruptcy of the shared electric bike venture would have a massive impact on him.
Though he could still raise money to refund user deposits, the project was essentially beyond saving.
All the money he had invested earlier would go down the drain.
The funds given to him by Xie Bingyan, Xu Manni, Xu Pandi, and others would also be lost, not to mention the effect on how Xu Deming and Xu Manni viewed him.
Once the family knew about this, if he wanted complete control of Fengxiang Jewelry, he would need to invest even more effort.
Even though Xie Bingyan and Xu Deming favored him and were willing to give him a chance, other members of the Xu family would likely use this against him.
In contrast, Xu Mo successfully cashed out 5 billion yuan a few months ago, avoiding all risks, and seemed to have set a benchmark for courage and foresight.
A few months ago, when the media found out about Xu Mo cashing out and exiting, they wildly praised him for his boldness, keen senses, and remarkable courage.
In contrast with Xu Mo, it was clear who was stronger and who was weaker.
“Damn it! Damn it!”
Junzhe spat blood, his mind spinning in urgency.
…
By the calm lakeside, a gentle breeze blew under the clear skies.
Xu Mo met with Xu Xuehui.
To be honest, Xu Mo was getting a bit annoyed with them lately.
Coming over repeatedly, it was starting to wear him down.
Although it wasn’t just Xu Xuehui before, Xu Wanting and Xu Shuying were also quite annoying.
Xu Mo didn’t intend to chat with her for long; he just wanted to get rid of her. Every time she came over, she would cry, making Xu Mo feel disgusted.
“Looking for trouble, here I am. Anything else, forget it!”
“I don’t have time to waste with you sisters. None of you are good people!”
“Xu Xuehui, I know why you didn’t let me touch your sports car. You’re just worried Xu Deming will give it to me! I get it!”
“Don’t act like you’re so wronged. Deep down, you all know the truth!”
After saying these words, Xu Mo wanted to leave because talking to her was pointless and a waste of time.
“Xu Mo, Second Sister knows about what happened before!” Xu Xuehui said. “Second Sister knows a lot now, and I regret it. I shouldn’t have treated you like that…”
Xu Mo scoffed coldly, “I’m doing fine now. Put away that victimized look of yours. If things weren’t clear before, I might have still hoped for something. But now, I see everything clearly!”
“I’m sorry.”
“It’s alright. I’m going back now. I have classes this afternoon.”
Talking to her only made Xu Mo impatient. Xu Xuehui wanted to keep him, talk to him about the past, but Xu Mo had no interest whatsoever.
He bid her farewell directly and returned to his dorm.
Seeing him leave without hesitation, Xu Xuehui felt even more hopeless. She knew very well that her past actions were irreparable.
“Maybe, it can never heal in a lifetime!”
“Do you still remember, Xu Xuehui? That day when you told Xie Bingyan that I took your jewelry? You said it in your group chat. I know exactly what your group was discussing!” Xu Mo began quietly. “I had a chance to see that group once. There were indeed many things about me in there. I thought it was all just jokes, playful banter. I never expected it to turn into something else!”
“The so-called jewelry was just a joke you made. Xie Bingyan took it seriously and made me stand there!”
“You later treated it as a bragging right between sisters, thinking it was fun. You rich young ladies have no understanding of the hardships of ordinary people, nor have you experienced it! Now, this so-called apology is just another form of mockery!”
“I understand you all very well! Maybe you’ll continue showing off in the group later!”
“Just now, Xu Pandi and Xu Yuanchan came to see me, snarling and baring their teeth. You’ve always been like this!”
“You all follow Xie Bingyan’s lead; she’s deeply ingrained in your hearts! So, if possible, I’d rather you all just disappear!”
“Don’t tell me ‘sorry,’ it’s useless. If you really feel sorry, then just go die! Die cleanly, I promise not to take another look!”
“Xu Pandi…”
“I’m here just to bother you, aren’t I? If you want to back her up, I don’t mind playing along with you all!”
Xu Mo said these words calmly, with an air of nonchalance.
In his mind, these sisters were all cut from the same cloth, not a single one of them was any good.
Xu Xuehui stood in the gentle breeze, listening to his slow speech. There were many things she didn’t want to remember or investigate.
But Xu Mo remembered very clearly. Perhaps his memory was good; he always had a sharp memory.
Back then, they did indeed treat him as a joke.
“Xie Bingyan was the one who discarded him…”
“Ants crawled all over his body, small as he was, yet they couldn’t bite him to death!”
“Just mourning, what is there to be afraid of! As long as there is money, as long as one can survive, then everything will be fine.”
“It’s nothing more than struggling with all one’s might…”
Xu Xuehui knew she might never find redemption again.
These scars were too deep, unfathomably deep, reaching the abyss…
…
News of Xu Junzhe’s collapse had already surfaced. After Xu Mo returned to the dormitory and saw this message, he added another one.
“Junzhe’s shared bike venture can no longer issue refunds, with a backlog of thirty thousand… The company is nearing bankruptcy…”
“See him building tall towers, see him feasting guests, see his tower collapse.”
“It’s just a pity that Junzhe couldn’t fully expand this project. Otherwise, once it grew big, then exploded, it would have been more satisfying.”
Xu Mo had overestimated his capabilities a bit. In fact, he was just a sophomore now. Where would he have the decisiveness and ruthlessness of future generations?
Xu Mo quietly watched the skyscraper collapse!
…
On the other side, Junzhe had already fallen into despair.
Most of his money has been spent, and now his account is empty, needing to continue fundraising.
Originally, he could sustain for a while longer, but reality told him that seven days would pass quickly, and he couldn’t support himself for much longer.
Once seven days pass without being able to raise deposits for users, he will enter the bankruptcy liquidation phase.
Most importantly, he can’t keep this from Xie Bingyan, Xu Manni, Xu Pandi, and others.
When he returned home, he immediately sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere at home. Xu Manni and Xu Pandi probably already received news of his bankruptcy.
Firstly, Xu Manni and Xu Pandi had invested a considerable amount of money in his company, expecting returns. Now that it suddenly entered bankruptcy, their tens of millions of dollars are at risk.
Secondly, there’s Xie Bingyan, who had also given him a substantial sum of money, which now seems to have vanished. Xie Bingyan’s expression would definitely be very unpleasant.
Indeed, that was the reality!
In the living room, sitting on the sofa were Xie Bingyan, Xu Manni, and others, waiting for his return to pass judgment.
“Dad and Eldest Sister also gave me some money to work with. The company is temporarily stable, but the issue of deposits in the future…”
“Xu Deming gave you money?” Xie Bingyan questioned first.
“…,” Junzhe hesitated for a moment, then replied, “Yes!”
Instantly, Xie Bingyan’s expression turned extremely ugly!
