Working: Start by earning the boss a hundred million!

Chapter 151

Apart from a few fish that weren't very tasty, there wasn't much to see today.

Cheng Mai released all the fish back into the wild, and Shang Xingjian had no objections.

Just then, Meng An came looking for them.

Meng An has some things to report regarding the establishment of the new city.

Although Cheng Mai had said many times that this did not count as a report, Meng An always seemed to forget.

Xiao Nianshi bluntly pointed out that Master was afraid of the God.

Cheng Mai was puzzled, so he looked at Shang Xingjian, who looked completely innocent; he hadn't done anything.

The construction of the new city has been relatively smooth, without any major problems. The main reason for this is the small population and the lack of funds.

With the Cheng Group's attack gone, Xuanhe Technology is now facing a financial deficit.

At least until the two worlds are completely separated, they will need to invest a steady stream of money in the initial construction.

The merchant guild does have a lot of antiques, but not many can be quickly converted into cash. Moreover, it's not logical for them to put out so many antiques for sale at once.

Therefore, Cheng Mai needs to think of new ways to make money.

"I might be able to help with the money," Meng An said seriously after thinking it over.

Cheng Mai laughed when she heard this. It wasn't that she didn't trust Meng An, but rather that this was something that should have been done by her in the first place.

"I'll take care of the money. How much do you still owe?" Cheng Mai asked.

"three……"

“Five million. I saw Master do the accounts yesterday. We are still five million short,” Xiao Nianshi said immediately, so that Master wouldn’t ask for less money because he felt sorry for his daughter.

"Shut up," Meng An snapped, though there was no real ferocity in his voice. Cheng Mai looked at his father with a hint of helplessness. They were both fathers, so why was there such a difference?

“Five million, right? Okay, I’ll give it to you before the day after tomorrow. Father can also get some rest these two days.” Cheng Mai grasped General Meng An’s hand. “Father really should get some rest.”

Meng An was moved and did not refuse.

Xiao Nianshi slightly pursed his lips. His master really was hypocritical. He always refused when Xiao Nianshi asked him to rest before, but now he rested just because Xiao Nianshi said so.

After chatting with Meng An about his recent situation, Cheng Mai saw him off.

Shang Xingjian closed his eyes to rest for a while, and only opened them after Meng An and the others left. "Five million, two days, where are you going to find it?"

Cheng Mai glanced at him and said, "It's none of your business. I have my own way of doing things."

"Zhu Biao is a real miser; there's no hope of getting anything from him," Shang Xingjian casually reminded him. Zhu Biao would be willing to pay for things that involved himself, but for other matters, the chances were slim.

Cheng Mai did consider Zhu Biao, but after thinking about Zhu Biao's Pixiu attributes, he gave up.

"Besides Zhu Biao, there are others. Isn't the person who stole your ex-wife's persona a big star?" Clearly, Cheng Mai had his eye on Qin Mai. "Having been in the entertainment industry for so long, you should be able to come up with 500 million, right?"

Shang Xingjian raised an eyebrow, clearly curious about what she planned to do.
But Cheng Mai didn't intend to tell her.

She had a natural aversion to Qin Mai, and at first she didn't know why, but now she did.

Even without her memories, she didn't like others using her mortal face to deceive and swindle people.

Yes, it's fraud!

Therefore, Cheng Mai felt that he had to get this money back from Qin Mai no matter what.

500 million is a bargain for her!
