Hearing Sai Jinhua's question, Xiang Xiaoying opened her eyes almost at the same time.
This girl didn't sleep either. In fact, since she came back from Xianlongtan a few days ago, she almost always had to wait until midnight before she could fall asleep.
"Listen..."
Sai Jinhua pricked up her ears and made a gesture of silence.
Next to her, Xiang Xiaoying immediately imitated her example, putting her hands by her ears and listening carefully to the sounds outside.
A minute later, the girl turned to look at Sai Jinhua with a blank look on her face.
"Sister Jinhua, I didn't hear anything."
"Didn't you hear anything? I clearly heard Tianlong's voice just now, why can't I hear it now?"
Sai Jinhua still did not give up and insisted on putting her hands to her ears, looking like she was trying to listen.
Xiang Xiaoying's eyes suddenly turned red.
She knew that since knowing about Lu Tianlong, Sai Jinhua had hardly slept a sound sleep these days.
I was still tossing and turning in the middle of the night every day, and would wake up early before dawn.
It had only been less than ten days, but she was much more haggard than before, her face was pale, her eyes were bloodshot, and her eye sockets were sunken, as if she had aged several years.
Xiang Xiaoying understands Sai Jinhua's feelings for Lu Tianlong.
Before he came to Xianlong Village, except for himself, almost everyone in the village rejected Sai Jinhua, or they were plotting against her and were regarded as a broom star.
But after Lu Tianlong arrived, everything changed.
She has now become the most popular person in the whole village. Everyone has abandoned their previous prejudice against her and treats her sincerely.
These days are probably the happiest days she has lived in Xianlong Village for nearly ten years.
"Sakura, maybe I heard wrong, go to sleep..."
Sai Jinhua secretly wiped away her tears, forced a wry smile on her face, and slowly lay down on the kang again.
"Okay, Sister Jinhua, please go to bed early. Everything will be fine. Maybe when we open our eyes tomorrow, Brother Lu will be standing in front of us alive and kicking."
Xiang Xiaoying said a few words of comfort and slowly lay down.
The words she used to persuade Sai Jinhua were also the words she used to comfort herself these days.
A few days ago, the incident of a group of people in the Kingdom of Will often came to mind clearly. Xiang Xiaoying really found it difficult to accept that he left so suddenly.
When it was just getting dark, there was a rumbling sound outside the village.
Su Lingyue has already led people to start work, using various suggested machines to start rebuilding the road from Xianlong Village to Xianlong Town.
Because the road here is really difficult, the Su Group's construction team will start from both sides of Xianlong Village and Xianlong Town at the same time this time.
The mountain road will be widened and paved first, and after the foundation is laid, the second construction will be carried out in the same way as the asphalt road was built outside.
People in the village were very excited.
6 Tianlong proposed a plan to open Xianlong Mountain, and expressed the idea of building a road first if he wanted to get rich. At the same time, people had been arranged to conduct surveys and other activities a few days ago.
After a few days of rest and no one from Lu Tianlong was seen again, everyone in the village felt that this matter might be shelved.
But I didn't expect that work would resume so soon.
Su Lingyue stood at the front of the construction team, neatly dressed, without makeup, and wearing a safety helmet. She was discussing road construction work with the road and bridge engineers with a serious look on her face.
Under the leadership of Li Jinbao, all villagers in Xianlong Village mobilized.
All the men went into battle and followed the construction workers to cut stones and expand the road, busy in full swing.
The women in the village, organized by Sai Jinhua, were busy boiling water and cooking.
The village, which had been closed off for who knows how many years, suddenly saw hope. Their inner joy and enthusiasm were definitely beyond what ordinary people could imagine.
The road construction period will take approximately one month.
After the two sides meet in the center, the road has been widened and leveled, and large equipment can be transported and the construction speed will be increased several times.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and the project construction was progressing smoothly.
"Sister Lingyue, come and have a drink of water quickly."
Xiang Xiaoying held a bowl of hot water and ran to Su Lingyue.
Under the scorching sun, she and several engineers were gathered around a stone, discussing an engineering drawing laid on it.
Su Lingyue has been very busy these days. She stays on the front line of project construction during the day and discusses various problems that arise during the process with the engineers at night.
For example, the texture of the stone in Xianlong Mountain is very special. In some places, there is no way to implement it with ordinary tools, so some plans had to be temporarily changed.
Food and accommodation were provided in the construction team's simple sheds, and the conditions were extremely difficult.
Xiang Xiaoying, Sai Jinhua and others have repeatedly persuaded Su Lingyue to stay in the village, such as living at Sai Jinhua's house.
But Su Lingyue declined them all.
Xiang Xiaoying understood that she just wanted to keep herself busy so that she would not have free time to think about Lu Tianlong.
But does this really work?
Several times when she woke up in the morning, Xiang Xiaoying could see Su Lingyue's eyes were red and she had obviously cried.
"good."
Su Lingyue was not polite, and told several engineers some precautions, then turned around and took the water bowl from Xiang Xiaoying's hand.
"Dingle bell!"
At this moment, Su Lingyue suddenly remembered something in her pocket.
In this Fairy Dragon Mountain, there is no mobile phone signal at all. In order to maintain communication, Su Lingyue is now equipped with satellite.
"Ling Yue, something happened in the company."
It was Wang Ying who called. Although I tried my best to stay calm, I could still feel the helplessness and anger in her voice.
"What happened?" Su Lingyue asked calmly.
"That's right. We have invested in many projects abroad before, such as oil field development in desert countries, gold mines in Africa, and some cooperation projects with the British country."
"These projects all require huge funds, and we carried out them in cooperation with major families."
Wang Ying said quickly.
Su Lingyue nodded. Those projects were all huge projects and required huge amounts of funds. The Su Group alone would definitely not be able to provide that much.
Therefore, it was originally led by the Su Group and jointly funded by various Chinese families to start the construction together.
After the project is successful, profit dividends will be distributed based on the amount of investment by each family or company.
"Among these projects, the four inherited families of Dongfang, Ximen, Nangong, and Beiye invested the most, followed by the top ten wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River and some big families in the north. There are also some other sporadic investments with relatively small amounts."
"But just two days ago, the Ximen family suddenly proposed that the family's funds are now tight. Not only do they want to stop investing in the project, but they also want to withdraw their previous investment."
Wang Ying couldn't hide the anger in her voice, and she must have been gnashing her teeth.
"If the Ximen family just withdraws, there should be no problem. Will there be others to follow?" Su Lingyue raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Yes!"
"In addition to the Ximen family, there are more than a dozen families or companies that want to end their cooperation with us and want to withdraw their funds."
"Ling Yue, you also know that the initial investment in those projects is very large, and it is not yet time to generate profits. If they withdraw funds at this time, the projects can only be suspended."
"Then all our early investment will be almost in vain, and the project will be stalled indefinitely."
Wang Ying explained the seriousness of the problem one by one.
If those projects that have invested huge amounts of money are halted at this time, the initial investment will be wasted. And if the Ximen family takes the lead in divestment, the Su Group will face greater difficulties.
Although the Su Group is now growing rapidly, most of its funds have been invested in these projects.
Once it stops and the capital chain is broken, it will cause a chain reaction, and the serious consequences will put the Su Group into complete trouble and even collapse.
"How many families are asking to withdraw funds now?" Su Lingyue asked.
"The Ximen family took the lead, and more than a dozen other families joined in, accounting for almost half of all our investment funds."
"Are the other families stable?" Su Lingyue asked again.
"The Dongfang family is followed by several wealthy families who will definitely continue to follow us. The other half are in a wait-and-see attitude and have not yet made clear their attitude." Wang Ying said quickly.
Half asked to withdraw funds, and among the remaining half, half were waiting and watching, and the other half supported it.
In other words, the Su Group’s current self-sustainability is only about a quarter!
"What did Zheng Shaofeng and Qing Ju say?" Su Lingyue pondered for a moment and said.
"They are traveling around these days, trying to get those families to continue to support us, but... they have had little effect!"
"And according to the information we have received, the reason why such a situation occurs is entirely because there is someone behind the scenes pushing it, most likely the Prince Gang!"
Wang Ying said bitterly over there.
Prince Gang?
Su Lingyue raised her eyebrows slightly. Six days ago, when Tianlong was here, they directly destroyed the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce. The Northern Prince Gang knew how powerful it was and immediately disappeared. It has not dared to confront the Su Group head-on for such a long time.
Now something happened to Lu Tianlong, and they jumped out immediately!
It's obvious that they are bullying the Su Group because they don't have the big killer, Liu Tianlong, and it's coming.
"Ling Yue, there is actually another thing. I was afraid that you would be worried, so I didn't tell you."
Wang Ying over there hesitated for a moment and spoke again.
"What's going on?" Su Lingyue's heart tightened and she asked in a deep voice.
"Since the past few days, things have started to happen around the villa. According to Wan'er, Xiaoman and others, they have all noticed that strangers seem to be following them in the past few days."
"What?"
Su Lingyue's voice suddenly rose, and the thing she was most worried about finally came.
In the past, Lu Tianlong led the Su Group to great glory and rapid development at home and abroad. Although it was glorious, it also offended countless people.
There are business rivals, ancient clan conflicts, and power struggles.
There are six heavenly dragons and war dragons here, so those guys can only endure it.
But now, they are about to take revenge.
Lu Tianlong is not here, so he wants to vent his personal anger on those people around Lu Tianlong!
Shameless!
