The God of Wealth: Her Top Game of Thrones

“But now you’ve gotten involved too,” Tang Tang said, looking up at Zhou Huai with a somewhat subtle expression. “The Cheng family is a mess.”

Moreover, Cheng Lin and Rong Chuan's actions were seriously skirting the law... In other words, what they did was completely illegal.

The project site doesn't simply accept whatever Cheng Lin and Rong Chuan say.

If these two really want to tie up the Cheng family's 50 billion yuan in the project, they need to take care of everyone involved.

Money is a good thing.

If Cheng Lin and Rong Chuan want it, does that mean the others don't?

In reality, what the two of them did was not complicated.

Cheng Lin and Rong Chuan collaborated on a long-term project and, through official channels, lured the Cheng family into the project by issuing a tender.

After the Cheng family invested 50 billion yuan in the project, the construction company would then use policy influences as an excuse to delay the project's progress.

A refund is not possible, and the Cheng family won't get one even if they ask. Given the sunk costs, unless Cheng Daoguang wants to lose everything, he can only watch as this 50 billion yuan is stuck in the project.

At this point, Cheng Lin and Rong Chuan would take away 50 billion yuan, using part of it to feed various Yama kings and little devils, and splitting the rest equally between the two.

Each person received over 2 billion yuan. With that cash flow, they could easily make a lot of money by simply taking it to any stock market and quickly buying and selling it.

The money belonged to Cheng Jia, but these two used the money that was tied up in their marriage to make more money on their own...

With everyone in charge taken care of, no one knows whether the 50 billion is still in the original account.

It's practically a risk-free business... with no downsides other than being illegal.

Cheng Lin, Rong Chuan, and several other powerful individuals had clearly already found scapegoats, so that even if the truth came out, someone would risk their life to interrupt the investigation.

Those few scapegoats... they might as well jump off a building.

Snapped.

A few people died, and then the matter was dropped.

At worst, Cheng Lin and Rong Chuan will just put the 50 billion back later... Anyway, they've already made enough money in the meantime.

It goes without saying how much money, flowing in and out, has filled the pockets of countless people.

"What did you do in there?"

Tang Tang looked at Zhou Huai and said, "Didn't you ever think that Cheng Lin and Rong Chuan, those two bastards, might betray you?"

Neither of them is a good person.

“BB, are you worried about me?” Zhou Huai smiled slightly, in a very pleasant mood. “I thought you had good feelings for Cheng Lin… after all, I think he still seems to have some lingering feelings for you.”

Tang Tang, who always answered Zhou Huai casually, clicked her tongue upon hearing this, then casually said while taking a bite of salad, "Most people have a very good impression of me."

She raised an eyebrow at him. "For example, you? Zhou Sheng, don't you like me?"

Zhou Huai said helplessly, "I like it."

He said carefully, "I did not interfere with Cheng Lin and Rong Chuan's misappropriation of project funds."

Just like Tang Tang's joking doubts, Zhou Huai didn't really trust Cheng Lin and Rong Chuan.

These two are accomplices, both unscrupulous individuals who walk the line and do things on the edge. Unless they are lucky every time, Zhou Huai believes they will inevitably be exposed sooner or later.

Moreover, Zhou Huai is different from these two people.

Cheng Lin is indeed pitiful, burdened by the hatred of his mother's murder, and he is also being secretly watched by all sides of the Cheng family... If he wants to rise to power, he can only risk his life to make a fortune through illegal means.

Zhou Huai had no opinion on his choice, but Rong Chuan was a complete madman. The conventional choice didn't appeal to Rong Chuan, and Zhou Huai didn't know what his purpose was.

In short, Zhou Huai did not trust these two people, so he chose to cooperate as a contractor, entering the project through bidding.

The companies chosen to participate were other companies under Zhou Huai's name, completely separate from the Zhou family. He followed the normal bidding and construction procedures, and the construction company would promptly settle payments with Zhou Huai according to the normal process after completion.

Of course, nominally it would come from that 50 billion. But in reality, by the time the payment was settled, Cheng Lin and Rong Chuan had probably already pocketed a considerable amount of that 50 billion.

However, Zhou Huai didn't care about any of that. As long as he received the payment, he would consider it a profit.

Because in the project he led, Zhou Huai profited from materials, labor, and various purchases... in short, he could make a profit.

As for Zhou Huai, he was very safe because he followed all the normal procedures from beginning to end, and the internal pricing and construction pricing were none of the business of Cheng Lin and Rong Chuan.

If we have to be honest, Cheng Lin and Rong Chuan were at risk of their schemes being exposed, but Zhou Huai was different; he was the one who really profited from the situation.

"Tsk tsk tsk," Tang Tang said lazily, "That's why I said, businessmen are all dirty-hearted."

No business is without its cunning.

Zhou Huai looked at her amusedly and said, "BB, are you talking about yourself?"

Tang Tang glanced at him and suddenly felt that she had done a truly conscientious job. Come to think of it, she had never experienced anything like this before... she had relied entirely on the system to resolve everything.

Thinking about it this way, I feel like I'm not doing a very good job as a businessman.

The system chuckled.

If you really followed their example, you'd be in jail eating free meals a long time ago.

Almost every large company has some degree of skirting the line. Just as water that is too clear has no fish, many large companies have opaque aspects to their financial chains.

What Cheng Lin and his group did was only minor, since the project would eventually be launched, and they would put the 50 billion back after they had made enough money.

At most, it will tie up the money for starting a family... but starting a family won't bankrupt you anytime soon.

In other places, they are much more unscrupulous... Take project payments as an example, countless small businesses have been dragged down, and many people have been driven to ruin and death.

The system would never allow Tang Tang to come into contact with those crooked and evil ways.

With the system protecting her, Tang Tang can have whatever she wants.

"Tongbao, you're so good," Tang Tang whispered to the system in her mind, "I love you, I love you."

【…snort.】

The system remained silent, but Tang Tang and Zhou Huai's conversation continued.

Although Zhou Huai's attitude towards cooperating with Cheng Lin and Rong Chuan was quite insincere, and the three of them had a very superficial relationship, they did cooperate to some extent, so they did meet up for a meal once.

That's when Cheng Lin saw Zhou Huai's phone wallpaper... it was a photo of Tang Tang. In that photo, Tang Tang was sitting on a rocking chair on the balcony, the sunlight was just right, and you could clearly see the photographer's love for her.

Zhou Huai noticed at that moment that Cheng Lin's expression was complicated for a moment.
