ituation, and now he understood. It must be that Aunt Song heard from outside the door and told her grandfather.The old man coughed lightly, “Alright, you don't need to know how I found out. Hurry an...A familiar voice came through the phone, "Are you still asleep"

"Hmm..." Fu Xiaoyao turned over.

"Tang Yi shouted, "It's almost ten o'clock, and you're still asleep"

Fu Xiaoyao was woken up by his loud voice, her temples throbbed in pain, even the veins on her forehead twitched. “What is it”

Perhaps sensing the impatience in Fu Xiaoyao's voice, Tang Yi lightly coughed and quickly adjusted his attitude. "Well, there's some bad news."

"What bad news" Fu Xiaoyao asked, yawning.

Tang Yi started to play coy, "Do you remember the piece of land Mr. Lu bought a while back The one owned by Mr. Wang"

"Remember, what's wrong" Fu Xiaoyao opened her eyes.

Tang Yixing gloated and said, "Something happened to that piece of land!"

"What" Fu Xiaoyao suddenly sat up from the bed. Her brain, which was still hazy just a moment ago, cleared completely at that instant.

She gripped her phone tightly in both hands, urgently asking, "What happened"

"That plot of land had a tomb complex excavated by machinery last night, and it's already been reported." Tang Yi replied.

Fu Xiaoyao was stunned, "Ancient...ancient tombs"

"Indeed, you're surprised" Tang Yi laughed.

"But Fu Xiaoyao was very panicked, "How could there be a tomb complex Clearly, Han Chuan had Qiao Mu specially investigate the land before buying it, and there was no problem at all. Now how could this..."

"That's not absolute," Tang Yi interrupted her.

Fu Xiaoyao didn't quite understand what he meant.

He explained, “That piece of land belonged to Mr. Wang’s ancestors. Even Mr. Wang himself didn't know there was a group of ancient tombs underneath it. The people who bought the land certainly didn't know either. Generally, people who buy land mostly investigate the surrounding environment and feng shui issues. They wouldn't go so far as to probe underground...”

“So what” Fu Xiaoyao pursed her lips.

Tang Yi chuckled softly, “So it's very difficult to find out if there are ancient tombs underneath. Furthermore, although this kind of situation isn't unheard of, it's extremely rare. And without exception, every time a site with a tomb cluster is excavated, no further work can be done there. Therefore, the several billion yuan that Mr. Lu invested has essentially gone down the drain.”

"How could this be..." Fu Xiaoyao muttered in a daze after hearing all of this.

With two construction sites experiencing problems in a row, each resulting in tens of billions of yuan in losses, even the powerful Lu Group can't withstand this.

"Tang Yi, that piece of land can't be built on right now. Can you sell it to someone else" Fu Xiaoyao asked.

If he could sell it to someone else, perhaps Lu Hanchuan could recoup some of his losses.

However, Tang Yi regretfully told her, "No, no one would take on this hot potato after knowing there's an ancient tomb underneath. As I said earlier, someone reported this matter, so the land will be expropriated by the state next. But the state should compensate Mr. Lu."

"How many" Fu Xiaoyao bit her lip, "Will it be compensated at market price"

Tang Yi laughed, "How is that possible You're thinking too much. The one who receives that land would most likely be the national archaeology department. They are the poorest department. How could they offer market value compensation At most, it would be tens of thousands of yuan plus a pennant haha..."

Hearing the gloating laughter on the other end of the phone, Fu Xiaoyao felt a surge of anger. "Don't laugh!"

"Alright... alright, I'm not laughing anymore hahaha..." Tang Yi readily agreed, but a few chuckles still escaped his lips.

Fu Xiaoyao was exasperated, "What's so funny!"

"Ha ha, it's really funny, you know I've never seen President Lu lose out or make a losing business deal before. Now in just one month, I've seen him do it twice! Of course, I have to laugh my head off. Luckily, I chose another piece of land and gave this one to President Lu. Otherwise, it would be me who's losing money now." Tang Yi said with immense relief.

Fu Xiaoyao couldn't take it anymore and hung up the phone directly.

After hanging up the phone, she rubbed her hair irritably and then opened a web page, ready to search for news about it.

The final result was indeed there, and it was even the top story. The reposts and comments below had both exceeded 100,000.

Fu Xiaoyao glanced roughly at those comments. Some were gloating like Tang Yi, some sympathized with the Lu family, and some just watched the drama unfold. In short, these comments mixed together were heartbreaking to read.

"I wonder how he's doing now, he must be very angry, right" Fu Xiaoyao muttered, her heart filled with worry about Lu Hanchuan's situation.

This tomb incident will definitely cause the Lu family's stock market to fluctuate again.

And the group's directors would certainly start to question his management and business acumen.

Worse yet, those board members might even join forces to remove him from his position as CEO.

Thinking about this, Fu Xiaoyao held her phone tightly and decided to go to the Lu Group in person. She wouldn't feel at ease until she saw Lu Hanchuan with her own eyes.

Then Fu Xiaoyao quickly jumped off the bed and ran to the bathroom.

Half an hour later, she arrived at the Lu Group headquarters.

Outside the CEO's office, Fu Xiaoyao raised her hand, just about to knock, when the door opened.

When Qiao Mu came out from inside, he was slightly surprised to see her, "Madam, how did you get here"

"I already know about that piece of land, and that's why I came here... I'm a little worried about him..." Fu Xiaoyao didn't hide anything, and she directly stated her purpose.

Joe pushed his glasses up in understanding. "I see, but unfortunately, Mr. Lu is not in the office."

"He's not here" Fu Xiaoyao frowned, "Where did he go"

"In the conference room, things went south. The group lost tens of millions because of this incident, and those directors are clamoring for Lu to give them an explanation." Qiao Mu replied with a wry smile.

Fu Xiaoyao's hands clenched tightly on both sides.

As expected, she guessed it right. Those board members really went after Lü Hánchuan.

"I'll go take a look!" Fu Xiaoyao turned and was about to walk toward the elevator.

Qiao Mu stopped her, "Madam, please don't worry first. I know you are worried about President Lu, but what can you do if you go now Besides, this matter is not something you can participate in."

"I know, but I'm worried they might remove Kanagawa from his position." Fu Xiaoyao frowned with worry.

Qiao Mu chuckled lightly, "Madam, you've overthought it. President Lu is the largest shareholder of the Lu Corporation. Even if all their shares were added together, they wouldn't exceed President Lu's holdings. How could they possibly remove him So Madam, please don't worry."

Upon hearing this, Fu Xiaoyao calmed down slightly and retracted the foot she had taken a step forward with. "You're right, I was too impulsive. I forgot about this, but after this incident, the group won't be Hanchuan's one-man show anymore, right"

Joe nodded silently for a moment, “Yes, those directors will definitely start questioning President Lu’s decisions in the future, but it doesn't matter. In the past, President Lu was able to make Lu Corporation his own kingdom, and he will definitely be able to do so again.”

"Is that so..." Fu Xiaoyao pulled at the corner of her mouth, trying to be comforted, "Assistant Qiao, go busy. I'll wait for him inside."

Joe nodded, "Okay, I'm just going to deliver some files to Mr. Lu. I'll let him know you came."

"Well, thank you." Fu Xiaoyao smiled gratefully at him, then walked into Lu Hanchuan's office.

She didn't wait long in the office before she heard a noise outside her door.

Fu Xiaoyao hastily stood up, her eyes fixed intently on the office door.

The door opened, and Lu Hanchuan's tall figure walked in.

Fu Xiaoyao looked at him, took a deep breath, and then spoke proactively, "You're back"might be surprised, oh." he advised.Fu Xiaoyao's face remained cold.Tang Yi sighed, "Ai, you're really stubborn.""Are you done Just leave after you're finished." Fu Xiaoyao closed her eyes this time,...
