This world was full of desires, and those who stood higher and grasped more resources could better realize their desires.

In the eyes of some, female celebrities who were unattainable were just merchandise.

Xu Taiping wasn't in the entertainment circle, but he knew that the entertainment circle was a very profitable place. In there, the more privileges one grasped, the better one could be like a fish in water.

Leaving the courtyard, Xu Taiping had a meal with Guo Yunpeng and Zhao Xiaohua, along with a few of the upper class people in the capital city. They had some drinks while they were at it, then returned to the hotel at three in the morning.

This time, Xu Taiping's purpose of coming to Beijing was to pave the way for his movie. Compared to the trip to the Mi Kingdom, paving the way for his movie was much simpler. He, Hua Xia's richest man, was enough to scare off most people.

During dinner, Xu Taiping chatted with those upper class people about the Zhao Family.

Xu Taiping thought it would take a long time for the Zhao Family to fall, but in fact, the speed at which they were falling had exceeded his expectations.

The current Zhao Family was completely different from the one a year ago.

A lot of people from the Zhao Family had died. Although the Chinese police were very serious in their investigation, their harvest was very little.

Many of these people who died were the managers of various businesses in the Zhao Family. If these people died, then those businesses of the Zhao Family would be affected.

Under the obstruction of the huge amount of money, the Zhao Family's assets were constantly shrinking, and the Zhao Family's assets were constantly changing owners.

The Zhao Family was already in decline.

There were even rumors saying that the amount of capital in the Zhao Family's books was less than 100 million now.

What kind of concept was this?

In other words, the Zhao Family's current flow of funds could not even last one or two years for the Zhao Family. Many families and enterprises that used to be attached to the Zhao Family had now cut off their relationship with the Zhao Family, and all kinds of banks and investment companies that had lent to the Zhao Family were looking for the Zhao Family for money.

The Zhao Family could only continue to sell off their businesses and pay off some of their debts. However, under these circumstances, the Zhao Family's habit of lavishing money did not change at all.

The members of the Zhao Family, who had been raised in luxury food since young, didn't know how to adapt to a life without money at all. They still went to all sorts of high-end places and nightclubs, bought all sorts of things with their credit cards, and then received credit cards from the financial department of the Zhao Family.

In the past, the Zhao Family was incomparably wealthy, so no matter how much money the Zhao Family spent, the Zhao Family's finances and credit cards were easily repaid. But now, to the Zhao Family who was in financial difficulties, if they wanted to pay back their money, they had to sell their property, and if you wanted to wait, you could always sell it for a good price. However, the Zhao Family couldn't afford to wait any longer.

It was said that many of the famous antiques and paintings that the Zhao Family had bought were already on the market. The decline of the Zhao Family was a piece of good news for the literary market because the Zhao Family had collected too many things.

Of course, there were also some people who were optimistic. The Zhao Family's property was huge, and was worth hundreds of billion yuan. Selling half of it would still let the Zhao Family live a carefree life.

However, according to the current situation, if the Zhao Family didn't restrain themselves, they might not be able to survive for a few more years. After all, there were still many big consortia that were attacking the Zhao Family's capital.

Xu Taiping realized that he had nothing to do with the Zhao Family. However, when he thought of Zhao Gang and his mother, Xu Taiping still felt sad that the Zhao Family was in decline.

After returning to the hotel, Xu Taiping sent a message to Zhao Xianglu.

"How have you been?" Xu Taiping asked.

It took a while for Zhao Xiangyou to reply.

"I've been sick recently and I'm not feeling very well."

"Why are you sick?" Xu Taiping asked.

"There's a lot of stuff going on at home. I'm a little angry, so it's fine. What's wrong?" Zhao Xianglu asked.

"I'm in the capital, wondering if I should go meet you!" Xu Taiping said.

"No need, it's good for you now. Remember, try to avoid contact with the Zhao Family. During this period of time, I suddenly realized that losing your identity as a member of the Zhao Family is a good thing for you." Zhao Xianglu said.

"Do I really not need to go and see you?" Xu Taiping asked.

"There's really no need for that. I'll look for you when I'm fully recovered!" Zhao Xianglu said.

"Yes!"

Putting down the phone, Xu Taiping sighed. Zhao Xianglu was a strong woman, she probably didn't want him to see him like this.

At the same time, at the Zhao Family.

Zhao Xianglu put down his cell phone, sat on the chair and rubbed his temples.

At this moment, a man rushed in front of Zhao Xianglu.

"Manager Zhao, help! Help!" The man said excitedly as he held Zhao Xianglu's hand.

"What's wrong, Zhao Nong?" The man in front of him was the son of the Zhao Family, but he was already quite far away from the main branch.

"I-I was playing cards outside and lost 20 million. They told me to pay up today or they would sue me!" Zhao Can said excitedly.

"What?!" Zhao Xianglu stood up and asked, "He owes twenty million?" What do you owe me? "

That's the one who lost, my car and my watch were pressed down by them. You know, my car is limited edition, over 50 million, and my watch also costs over 6 million. If you can't raise the money for them, they will take away my watch! Zhao Can said.

"You bastard, who told you to gamble with someone? "Don't you know that the Zhao Family prohibits gambling?!" Zhao Xiangreu reprimanded angrily.

"What strictly prohibited gambling? Isn't there a lot of people betting? The family head doesn't care about these things, so you should just turn a blind eye. Manager Zhao, hurry up and give me some money!" Zhao Can said.

"No, we can't give you this money. We don't have much money on the books right now. This money is for you. What are the members of our family going to eat and drink?" Zhao Xianglu shook his head.

"If you don't give it to me, my car and watch will be gone!" Zhao Can shouted in excitement.

"So what if it's gone, I told you to go gamble, you deserved it!" Zhao Xianglu gritted his teeth and said.

"Zhao Xianglu, don't go too far. You are just an outsider who got lucky and ended up in our Zhao Family. I am a descendant of the Zhao Family, and I have the blood of the Zhao Family flowing through my veins. Do you believe that I won't beat you up! " Zhao could shout.

"Hit me? How dare you! " Zhao Xiangreu glared at him and said, "If you dare to make a move, I'll make sure you get out of the Zhao Family!"

"Who gave you the guts to tell me to get the hell out of the Zhao Family!" Zhao Can shouted excitedly, "I am a member of the Zhao Family, what qualifications do you have to make me get out of the Zhao Family?"

"What qualifications do I have? I have a fist! " "Get out of my sight and disappear from my sight right now. Otherwise, I'll beat you until your parents can't even recognize you!"

"You, you bastard!" Zhao Rui was frightened and quickly retreated a few steps away from Zhao Xianglu. In the Zhao Family, Zhao Xianglu was like a fried egg. She really dared to hit him when she said so.

"Get lost!" Zhao Xianglu shouted.

"Just you wait!" Zhao Can gritted his teeth, turned around and left.

Watching Zhao Ruo leave, Zhao Xianglu couldn't hold back any longer and vomited a mouthful of blood.

"Bastard! Bastard!" Zhao Xiangreu kept cursing. She was so disappointed with the Zhao Family. So, the Old Master was here.

In the past, she had been very busy, but now that she was busy to the point of being sick, she could not be idle. How Zhao Xianglu wished that the Old Master could be reborn, that the Zhao Family would be able to return to its former glory, and not be like the current Zhao Family, with the wind and rain blowing all over the place, the situation would become even more chaotic.

Zhao Xiangreu walked back to the chair and sat down.

At this moment, a steward hurriedly walked in from outside the door.

"Xiangyou, the steward told me to tell you that I can pay him back. Also, the steward told you to remember your identity. You are still a servant of the Zhao Family." Standing at the doorway, the steward said to Zhao Xianglu.

Puff!

Zhao Xiangyou spat out another mouthful of blood and fainted.

After an unknown period of time, Zhao Xiangreu woke up.

Her eyes stared blankly at the ceiling.

The familiar ceiling let her know that she was now in her own room.

Suddenly, a face appeared in front of Zhao Xianglu.

It was a pure face, but Zhao Xianyou didn't like it.

"Why are you here?" Zhao Xiangreu frowned and asked.

The face revealed a brilliant smile, and after which, the owner of the face walked to the side and brought a box over.

Zhao Xianglu forced himself up and looked at the box.

There was a lot of food in the box.

"Dugu Ying, I do not need your kind intentions." Zhao Xiangreu said angrily.

Dugu Ying held the box in front of Zhao Xianglu, looked at him and made the gesture of eating.

"I'm not hungry either!" Zhao Xianglu shook his head.

Just as Zhao Xianglu finished his sentence, his stomach began to growl.

Dugu Ying laughed out loud. Then she picked up a piece of dessert from the box with her chopsticks and opened her mouth, "Ah!"

Zhao Xiangreu turned his head to the side in anger, but Dugu Ying directly put the dessert next to his mouth and said something else.

Zhao Xiangeru felt a little helpless. "Put it down, I know how to eat," she said.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Dugu Ying said firmly.

"What the hell." Zhao Xiangreu mumbled and then opened her mouth to eat the Heart of Tranquil Water.

Dugu Ying revealed a cute smile.
