Ancestors, I told you to seduce the villains, not to turn evil.

Sun Fusheng probably noticed the confusion on Xu Manman's face, and then smiled and spoke.

"I've already consulted with my supervisor about this matter. It was my supervisor who sent me here. If you don't believe me, you can call and ask my supervisor for their opinion now."

Xu Manman knew that the other party couldn't do anything here, since everyone could see her come in.

If something happens to her here, the Sun brothers will not escape responsibility.

Even the dumbest person wouldn't do such a thing.

She said directly, "There's no need to make a phone call. I trust Director Sun. I just don't know why you sent me here."

Seeing Xu Manman's words, Sun Fusheng didn't beat around the bush and directly explained.

"Comrade Xu should still remember the contract with Nancy."

"Because we originally did not plan to build a shipyard, firstly because we lacked the technology, and secondly because the country currently does not have sufficient funds."

The purchase of fighter jets cost a considerable sum, and the expenses for various regions were another large amount.

Buying a ship from Nancy, even though it was an old ship, was still a considerable expense.

In addition, they need to attract talent and continuously invest in this area, so their finances are now depleted.

Sun Fusheng happened to be in charge of this area, so he went to his superiors to discuss a solution.

The shipyard definitely can't not build it; they've already handed over the technology to them, so it's impossible not to build it.

But if we were to build it, we would need money.

Their idea was that the foundation had research investment projects, and they wondered if they could get some of the money from her.

They'll pay it back once they start making a profit.

Sun Fusheng even brought the contract with him.

As long as Xu Manman agrees to invest, they will definitely pay back the money within three years.

Of course, the amount of money was huge, so Xu Manman couldn't pay for it all herself. Sun Haisheng was brought over so that he would be the one to foot the bill.

Upon hearing this, Xu Manman finally understood why Sun Haisheng's expression was so unpleasant.

She neither immediately agreed nor immediately refused, but instead inquired about the investment ratio.

Sun Fusheng had already thought it through: "This matter originally had nothing to do with the foundation, so the foundation is considered to be borrowing from us. I will pay interest later, and all of this is clearly written in the contract."

"My budget is 500 million from the foundation and 500 million from the political department, totaling 1 billion, which should be enough for the shipyard's expenses."

Xu Manman has been trying to find ways to cash out the gold bars in her space.

In the past six months, she has gradually cashed out approximately 400 million yuan.

She has already spent some of it, and now she has about 450 million yuan in her account. If she wants to raise 500 million yuan, she may need to think of a way.

Sun Haisheng's face looked even worse.

Five hundred million isn't something you can just pull out like cabbage; he spoke up before Xu Manman to discuss the price.

Sun Fusheng, however, remained completely in a businesslike manner, his attitude unchanged regardless of what Sun Haisheng said.

Finally, he spoke directly.

"Haisheng, this is an order from above. You must give me all the money."

“The Nancy Kingdom has already brought the technology to us. Once we learn it, we will be able to build our own ships.”

"Do you want to see the country fall behind and spend exorbitant amounts of money every year to rent ships from others?"

"If you don't think about yourself, don't you think about future generations? Only when the country's scientific and technological strength and equipment improve can our children enjoy a better life."

They had already prepared the cost of renting boats, which was over 200 million yuan in previous years. This year, they bought some old boats and planned to renovate them. However, the cost of renting boats not only did not decrease but actually increased.

As China's technological strength has increased, its exports have grown, and the supply of cargo ships has also increased year by year.

The old ships they bought can only alleviate some of the pressure; the major pressure remains unresolved.

So Sun Haisheng has the money on hand, but he only prepared 300 million yuan. It will be very difficult for him to come up with the extra 200 million yuan.

Although Xu Manman was not in Sun Haisheng's department, she still knew some of the situation. Five hundred million yuan was indeed a difficult task for Sun Haisheng.

Finally, after much hesitation, Sun Haisheng signed the contract.

Next, it was Xu Manman's turn. She didn't sign it, intending to take it back and discuss it with Fei Huainan.

Just by looking up, I saw Zhou Huijun standing outside the door; clearly, he knew about it.

Xu Manman paused, realizing that the leaders had arrived, which proved that what Sun Fusheng said was indeed true.

If the country truly needs this money, Xu Manman's investment in others is still an investment, so naturally the priority should be given to the country's needs.

With that thought in mind, she raised her hand and signed the contract.

“I need some time to transfer 500 million. So, I’ll transfer 400 million first, and I’ll figure out a way to transfer the remaining 100 million.”

"We'll try to get the money to you within a month."

She only has over 400 million in her account, and she needs to keep some money to run the foundation.

Besides, she has already agreed to give 50 million to her master and mistress's research institute.

That's bad, there's really no money left in the account. It seems she'll have to think of a solution.

The factory has started to make a profit, but the rate of profit generation can't keep up with Xu Manman's spending spree.

She had already given away a large portion of the gold in her space, and she thought that was enough. It seems she can only give away a portion more as soon as possible.

Sun Haisheng glanced at Xu Manman, realizing he had misjudged her back then.

He thought Xu Manman was bragging when she said she would invest one million, but now that she has taken out five hundred million, her expression hasn't changed at all. He wondered where Xu Manman got the money.

Not only was he curious, but another person was too.

That was Zhang Shuli, who was taken away after returning from Nancy.

She witnessed firsthand how Xu Manman spent money like water while she was abroad, buying cargo ships worth at least hundreds of millions.

The evidence against her for colluding with Hawke is irrefutable; her life is over.

Since she had no hope left, she might as well go all in.

Let Xu Manman also experience what prison life is like.

She simply didn't believe that Xu Manman could have so much money through legitimate means. Maybe her ancestors were landlords, or maybe her wealth came from illegitimate sources.

So, Zhang Shuli, who was in prison, reported Xu Manman.

It still requires real-name reporting.

At first, when people heard what she said in her report, they completely ignored her.

Xu Manman is the president of the foundation. Because of the foundation she established, countless families of martyrs have been helped.

They admired such people.

In their view, it didn't matter where Xu Manman got her money; what mattered was where she spent it.

They have money, but they didn't spend it on themselves; they did good deeds.

Furthermore, given Zhang Shuli's prior record of colluding with Hawke, who knows if her actions were malicious accusations?

Therefore, they directly rejected Zhang Shuli's report, deeming it invalid.
