However, no one turned around to look at her.

With a "pa" sound, Lee Mumu slammed her laptop shut and threw the stack of reports on the conference table onto the floor. After a long while, he raised his head with bloodshot eyes. Then, he took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Qiao Zi'an, you are truly ruthless. Just you wait, I will return it many times." Lee Mumu said in a hoarse voice as she gnashed her teeth.

Hearing the voice that sounded as if it came from hell, Qiao Zi'an only slightly raised his eyebrows, "Alright, I'll be waiting."

Lee Mumu slammed the phone into the ground. Instantly, the phone fell to the ground in pieces.

She was the only one left in the empty conference room, and the shares of the Lee's Group continued to fall non-stop. Annoyed, Lee Mumu scratched her head and had no choice but to follow the suggestion of the previous board member. She temporarily stopped buying and selling shares and started to raise funds to fill the gap.

However, no matter how much she gathered, Lee Mumu was still unable to gather 5 million in cash. Previously, when the company had launched a number of new projects, the financial department of the corporation had already been emptied out. Helpless, Lee Mumu could only set her sights on the crystal palace.

The Crystal Palace was one of her painstaking efforts. As long as there was a way out, she would not touch the Crystal Palace, but compared to the Lee's Group, she knew who was more important. Furthermore, his father was still lying in the hospital. If he heard the news, he would probably give up his position as chairman.

However, if Lee Mumu sacrificed the Crystal Palace and sold it according to Qiao Zi'an's wishes, Lee Mumu wouldn't want to either. Therefore, after some thought, Lee Mumu could only come up with a solution …

"What did you say?" Lee Mumu collapsed onto her office chair, all the strength in her body sucked out in an instant.

"I'm sorry, but the amount of credit you have right now is not enough to mortgage. Furthermore, based on our bank's understanding of your company's business, you will not be able to repay your loan in the short term."

Lee Mumu couldn't understand what the service staff on the other end of the phone was talking about anymore. She only knew that her last route was blocked, and now she could only sell the crystal palace that she had single-handedly built as Qiao Zi'an wished in order to preserve the overall situation.

Now that she thought about how she mocked Qiao Zi'an that day, Lee Mumu felt a sliver of regret. However, most of it was hatred towards Qiao Zi'an. It was just one sentence and Qiao Zi'an directly destroyed what she cared about the most. However, thinking that Qiao Zi'an could actually use his own strength to shake the entire Lee's Group's foundation in just a few short days, Lee Mumu couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine. That person was already at the top of the financial circles, and could easily toy with the economy.

Seeing that the shares of Lee's Group were about to go down, Qiao Zi'an's expressionless face finally showed a trace of a smile. With a light smile, he returned to his previous cold appearance.

When he received Lee Mumu's call, Qiao Zi'an knew that he had won this war without any smoke, but until the last moment, he could not be 100% sure who would win. After all, this was a mysterious world, any miracle could happen.

After switching to another computer page and seeing the message for sale from the Crystal Palace, Qiao Zi'an squinted his eyes in satisfaction. Then he picked up the phone and dialed according to the contact number on the page, "Hello, I would like to inquire about the price of the Crystal Palace."

"Do you want to buy it?" The agent on the other side of the phone asked politely, "According to everyone in the Crystal Palace, the current price is 10 million."

"Ten million?" Qiao Zi'an smiled playfully and asked.

The person on the other side of the phone was obviously stunned for a moment. Then, he hesitantly replied, "If you're really sincere and want to buy it, we can negotiate on the price."

Hearing that, Qiao Zi'an raised his eyebrows, it seems like there aren't many bidders in the crystal palace right now. "Since I asked, then I'm sure you're sincere. It's just that this price of 10 million makes me feel that your boss isn't sincere."

The agent had already received numerous calls asking for the price of the crystal palace, but most of them had hung up immediately after hearing the price. The rest were just trying to push down the price. However, his own boss had said that the price would not be lower than ten million and he would have to sell it today …

Seeing that the day was going to end and the number of people who came to ask for a price was becoming fewer and fewer, the agent had no choice but to say this first. He would first stabilize the buyer and then negotiate with his boss later on to see if he could lower the price.

"Don't worry, as I said before, there is room for negotiation regarding the price. If you are willing, you can come over and take a look at the crystal house's specific environment. I'll give my boss a call first to discuss before replying. Is that alright?"

If you want to sell it, then give me a call. I'll directly call over the contract and a portion of the deposit. If not, then you don't need to call me back. With that, Qiao Zi'an hung up, closed his eyes and leaned back on his office chair, his fingers drumming on the desk in a rhythmic manner.

God, 10 million was a price that he had to spend a lot of effort to forcefully fix. If it was just pushing the price down to 8 million, he could still go and have a talk with the company, but now the other party directly asked for 5 million … It wasn't hard for him to imagine that Lee Mumu wanted to live to see his eyes.

One hour, and the other only had one hour. Lee Ai thought about it, then clenched his teeth and dialed Lee Mumu's number.

"Boss …" Lee Ai didn't know how to explain it to Lee Mumu.

"The Crystal Palace sold?" The shares of Lee's Group were still falling crazily, and in just a few short hours, they had dropped two more points. If they continued to fall like this, before the funds could be refunded, they would directly face a huge loss.

"Boss, it's like this. Just now, there was a mister who called to tell me that he wanted to buy the Crystal Palace, but felt that the price wasn't particularly suitable, so I wanted to discuss it further to see if we could continue discussing about the price." Lee Ai's heartbeat suddenly quickened as he held his breath and waited for Lee Mumu's reply.

Lee Mumu was silent, her face so gloomy that water could be seen dripping from it. He wasn't even willing to sell the ten million in the crystal palace, but now, someone finally said that they wanted to buy it, and they even wanted to bargain with him.
