Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character's Revenge

The once well-organized Gu Group's operations fell into chaos, and its financial situation deteriorated rapidly, leaving it heavily indebted.

Some project leaders have been arrested for embezzling public funds and tax evasion.

Suppliers and partners withdrew their investments one after another, and dozens of banks kept calling to collect debts, causing the Gu Group's capital chain to break completely, making it impossible to maintain normal operations.

At the same time, the already depressed stock price of the Gu Group plummeted again, hitting rock bottom, and the group's market value shrank significantly.

The Gu Group's former prosperity and glory vanished in the blink of an eye.

If it weren't for the Gu family's existing resources and connections, Gu Zhaoting would have inevitably faced imprisonment.

Even if he escaped imprisonment, it doesn't change one fact—

The Gu Group went bankrupt.

The Gu family had to sell various luxury homes, cars, gold and silver jewelry, and other assets to pay off their debts. They even sold their old family home, but this was just a drop in the bucket.

Now the Gu family has no choice but to move to the place that Gu Zhaoting arranged for Ye Yunyi.

With so many people sitting in the living room, the once spacious room now felt cramped and confined.

The Gu Group was originally a family business passed down through generations. Gu's father was not a hard-working first-generation entrepreneur; he had lived a life of luxury since childhood. He and his mother had never experienced such hardship.

At this moment, everyone in the living room looked like wilted eggplants, their faces as pale as paper, their lips bloodless, and even their eyes bloodshot. They looked exhausted and had suffered a great mental blow.

Indeed, falling from heaven to hell, from a top-tier wealthy family to being heavily indebted, how could one not be devastated?

Holding Yangyang, Gu's mother cried softly, "Old Gu, what are we going to do? There are so many debts, how can we possibly pay them all off?"

After a brief pause, she said, "How about we go abroad and avoid the limelight for a while..."

Nowadays, debt collectors are everywhere. They dare not answer the phone, dare not leave their homes, their bank cards have been frozen, and even eating has become a problem.

Upon hearing this, Gu's father glanced at her and said, "It's too late. Do you think we can still get out now?"

Even before the situation became uncontrollable, Gu's father wanted to arrange for his family to go abroad, but the relevant departments had already taken precautions against their escape and restricted their departure from the country.

They can't escape even if they want to.

Upon hearing this, Gu's mother hugged her grandson and cried even louder.

Mr. Gu couldn't stand it anymore and scolded, "Alright, stop crying. Crying won't solve anything, and it's hurting my ears."

Ye Yunyi, who was sitting to the side, raised her head and quietly looked at the scene in front of her before quickly lowering her eyes. It was unclear what she was thinking.

Gu Zhaoting, who had been silent all along, finally spoke: "Mom and Dad, this incident was just an accident. The Cheng family had a handle on us, and various factors led to this situation. But I believe that we can definitely make a comeback."

“A few years ago, didn’t our Gu family also face a crisis? We weathered it then, so we’ll definitely be fine this time too.”

When Gu Zhaoting said these words and gave this example, he completely forgot that they had only survived the crisis a few years ago with the help of the Qi family.

This is the benefit of business alliances: mutual support and assistance at critical moments can revive a company.

But now, Gu Zhaoting no longer has a wife or in-laws to help him.

With red and swollen eyes, Gu's mother spoke in a hoarse voice, "If Ningning were here now... Zhaoting, why don't you go to the Qi family and beg them for help? Ningning has been your husband for several years, she definitely has feelings for you. As long as you soften your stance, you can remarry..."

"mom!"

Gu Zhaoting's expression changed drastically, and he interrupted his mother.

He said stiffly, "I would never beg the Qi family. Our family is in this state because of them. How could I possibly beg Qi Ning?"

Perhaps Qi Ning and her lover are secretly laughing at them.

Gu Zhaoting didn't need to go to her to imagine her sarcastic tone and condescending attitude.

His brows furrowed even more, a surge of frustration and indescribable irritation welling up inside him.

Out of the corner of his eye, Gu Zhaoting saw Ye Yunyi and took her hand, which was resting on her knee.

“Yunyi, our Gu family is not the same as before. I need to go out and find ways to restart the Gu Group. I will definitely be very busy. During this time, you need to take good care of Mom and Dad and Yangyang at home.”

This so-called "care" naturally includes all household chores such as laundry, cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the family's basic needs, since they can't afford to hire a maid these days.

These trivial and tiring tasks could not possibly be done by Gu's elderly parents who had never lifted a finger before, and Yangyang was still too young, so Ye Yunyi had to take on this heavy responsibility.

After Gu Zhaoting finished speaking, he looked at Ye Yunyi, waiting for her response.

After a few seconds, Ye Yunyi grasped Gu Zhaoting's hand and replied, "Okay, you can rest assured to leave the family to me. I'll wait for you to make a comeback."

Gu Zhaoting then revealed a satisfied smile, and Ye Yunyi also curled her lips.

The scene of the two gazing at each other with affection and smiling was witnessed by Gu's parents.

Mr. Gu's expression was unusually indifferent, and he didn't say anything.

Gu's mother couldn't help but mutter a few words under her breath: "So stingy, what kind of help can a woman who doesn't even have a job be..."

As she spoke, she thought of Qi Ning again.

If only I had persisted a little longer and persuaded her more not to let Qi Ning divorce Zhao Ting, things would have been fine.

With Qi Ning as their daughter-in-law and the Qi family as their in-laws, the Gu family wouldn't have fallen to this state.

Unfortunately, there's no "if only" or any chance to regret; it's all too late.

Unlike the gloomy mood of the Gu family, Cheng Yin was naturally riding high.

Having witnessed the bankruptcy of the Gu Group and seen the Gu family members hiding and escaping debts like rats in a sewer, Cheng Yin finally called Qi Ning out.

The two met at a private estate on the outskirts of the city. The location was chosen by Qi Ning. Even though she was now divorced, she still met with Cheng Yin secretly.

Cheng Yin was very dissatisfied with this, but at this moment, this was not the most important thing.

Upon meeting, he asked Qi Ning, "Are you satisfied with the current state of the Gu family and Gu Zhaoting? Is there anything else I can do?"

Qi Ning nodded slightly in satisfaction: "No need, this is enough."

The mission can now be considered accomplished.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yin immediately asked, "Now that you're satisfied, when will you fulfill your promise to me?"

"What did I promise you?"
