Chapter 85

This news was like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, leaving the 12-year-old He Ya in a daze.

The He Family had gone bankrupt?

How was that possible?

Just the day before, her family had eaten premium king crab, with ice cream and caviar for dessert, and even the tea was brewed from dew collected from bamboo stems - a single dinner cost tens of thousands.

Moreover, the He Family company accounted for 20% of the entire jewelry industry's market value, and had even been fined for excessive monopolization in the past. They were an undeniable century-old aristocratic family, so how could they go bankrupt overnight?

He Ya shouted, "You're lying! Really, Li Xin, you've been listening to Yuan Luoyi's nonsense and you dare to spout such a ridiculous lie!"

The surrounding students were startled, curiously looking over to find out what had happened.

Li Xin said, "I don't know the details, the corporate battle was too complex. Even my dad didn't explain it clearly."

"It seems your dad lost to Yuan Ao, the eldest son of the Yuan family, in a merger and acquisition deal. With fifty-fold leverage, he was wiped out overnight, and now the He Family company has 98% bad debts."

"Your dad has been placed under a consumption restriction by the court, effective from today. For the next month, he can only spend 3,000 yuan, with all other assets used to repay debts."

At the mention of the Yuan family, all the students automatically lowered their heads and dispersed nonchalantly.

They were somewhat frightened - in their eyes, Yuan Luoyi was usually silent and reserved, showing little reaction even when ostracized. He rarely acted, but when he did, it was never ordinary - the He Family had been brought down.

With the backing of the mysterious and powerful Yuan family, Yuan Luoyi was practically an inscrutable genius, whose emotions were completely inscrutable.

He Ya still didn't believe it, furious, "Impossible! You're absolutely lying!"

Li Xin could only smile helplessly, "If you don't believe me, just look it up on your phone. This is a major news story - the He Family's industry is quite large, so their sudden bankruptcy has a big impact."

Disregarding the school's ban, He Ya took out her phone in public.

Entering the words "He Family bankrupt" and clicking search, a flood of news articles appeared.

The first was a news report that had already garnered over a million views.

The eldest son of the Yuan family, Yuan Ao, had just emerged from the stock exchange. Tall and slender, with handsome features and a somewhat sinister look in his eyes, he was bundled up head-to-toe despite the sweltering heat, striding forward.

He disliked exposure, but reporters swarmed around him, firing off questions one after another.

"Mr. Yuan, was defeating the He Family part of the Yuan family's development strategy?"

"Are you planning to enter the jewelry industry now?"

This time, the He Family's assets would definitely be acquired by the Yuan family at a low price, and Li Xin's father would become an employee of the Yuan family.

In fact, throughout the company, everyone except the CEO He himself was celebrating.

After this wastrel's reckless mismanagement, the employees hadn't received their salaries for two months.

Meanwhile, Yuan Ao's strategic decision-making was extremely strong - even declining sunset industries could thrive under his leadership. Being acquired by the Yuan family was a cause for celebration, as they would surely get raises.

Changing bosses was a momentous event for them.

Many were writing job applications overnight, hoping to join the Yuan family through this opportunity, even though the Yuan family's hiring criteria were extremely stringent and they would normally have little chance of being hired.

"Ding ding ding!"

The gym teacher blew the whistle, signaling for everyone to gather.

Li Xin said excitedly to Yuan Luoyi, "Let's go join the gathering! I also have some good news to share with you. I suddenly had an inspiration and made an amazing promotional video that will definitely help you gain a lot of fans!"

Yuan Luoyi said, "Yeah, thank you for your hard work."

Li Xin's face turned red. "No need to thank me, I should be thanking you instead!"

The two chatted and laughed as they left. After talking to Yuan Luoyi, the previously introverted Li Xin finally dared to show her lively nature. She had encountered a kind soul.

In the afternoon, the school day ended, and the hard-working students could finally take a break.

The school heartthrob, Sen Junxuan, was crouching at the school gate, waiting. During the physical education class, he wanted to strike up a conversation with Yuan Luoyi, but Li Xin and Yu Hua were surrounding her, and Sen Junxuan wanted to be alone with Yuan Luoyi.

Perhaps he could reminisce about the beautiful memories from their childhood. Back then, Yuan Luoyi cared for him a lot. Whenever she had something delicious, she would share it with him. If she saw him feeling down, she would persistently ask what was wrong.

He just couldn't believe that Yuan Luoyi would stay cold towards him forever.

Three icy gazes simultaneously fell upon Sen Junxuan, and he instinctively shrank back. He turned around and saw Yuan Ao, Yuan Fa, and Yuan Yong, the three of them silently staring at him.

In an instant, Sen Junxuan felt like his brain had stopped functioning.

What? How did he deserve to have all three members of the Yuan family mobilized against him!

Yuan Luoyi walked out of the school gate with her backpack, brushing past Sen Junxuan. He deeply lowered his head, not daring to talk to her.

Meanwhile, Yuan Luoyi walked straight towards her brothers and happily went home with them.

Regardless of the situation, Yuan Yong had finally returned to the Yuan family, no longer having to wander outside. This was a cause for celebration.
