Retired Villainess Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder - Chapter 949

Chu Xiang’s business grew bigger and in addition to her main cosmetic products, she also made many other investments. At first, it was not obvious, but two or three years later, the industry was shocked to find that she made those investments without a loss. All of them raked a huge profit, and she was known as the industry’s Midas Touch.

By the time Chu Xiang graduated from college, Lin Mu’s cosmetics had become an international brand and a global best-seller. The scars on her body also faded away, and her skin became as clear as jade. She became the best endorser of Lin Mu’s scar removal cream, making it the hottest product in the world, and almost everyone has a jar of it. Even the medical experts had classified it as a scar removal medicine after examining the ingredients of the product. The scar removal cream has become Lin Mu’s ace product.

In the past few years, every time the scar removal cream is sold, someone would mention Chu Xiang’s former scars. Then, another would begin to explain how Chu Xiang’s scars came about, how she was abused in the Chen family, how she was malnourished in the Chu family, and how she was framed by Chen Xuan at school.

Every time Chu Xiang had some achievements, the Chen and Chu family and Chen Xuan would be brought up as a topic. With Chu Xiang’s personal charm gradually showing, there were really a lot of people who began to boycott the Chu family’s products. Any brand’s electronic products were the same anyway, so they didn’t have to specifically purchase the Chu’s.

Originally, their real estate business was in the doldrums, and the electronics industry was also under great competitive pressure. Despite Mr. Chu’s best efforts, Chu Group was still going downhill at a rapid pace, with its assets shrinking considerably and its social circle dropping a notch.

Shao Yan has stopped dealing with the Chu family and was now working with Mr. Shao to prepare to take over the Shao family’s businesses. Meanwhile, Chu Xiang had never once dealt with the Chu family personally. However, even if they didn’t, the Chu family’s decline could not be stopped.

Over the years, Mr. Chu repeatedly filed for divorce, but Chen Xuan and Mrs. Chu disrupted his plans. Each time Mr. Chu got a mistress, found a surrogate mother, and did IVF, Mrs. Chu ruined them all. Mr. Chu got more agitated, and Mrs. Chu got more devastated by this torture, and finally, Mrs. Chu was diagnosed with some mental problems.

This mild degree of mental problems could have recovered over time, as long as they could relax. But Mr. Chu forcefully sent Mrs. Chu to the sanatorium. With a mental identification certificate, no one could say he was at fault. After all, Mrs. Chu has caused the loss of his two unborn children. Who can tell if there will be a bigger problem if such a person is left outside?

Mrs. Chu saw that her chance was gone, so she let Chen Xuan take over her own shares and never let go of any opportunity to cause trouble for Mr. Chu. Mrs. Chu had already taken Mr. Chu as her enemy, so she would not consider anything else. Meanwhile, Chen Xuan only wanted money and the company, and she didn’t know anything about business, so she naturally won’t worry about the future of Chu Group.

When Mr. Chu was trying to revitalize Chu Group, Chen Xuan obtained the company secrets of Chu Group. She threatened Mr. Chu to let her into the board of directors, planted her own people in the company, and tried to seize the company, causing the company to be in chaos and panic.

Using dirty tricks would always round up a mess. As Chu Xiang once said, Chen Xuan was too used to using shortcuts. She used the company’s secret to threaten Mr. Chu to achieve her goal, so she naturally would not work hard in the company. Eventually, the company’s secrets were really leaked because of her carelessness, leading to the failure of Chu Group’s biggest project.

Chu Group’s cash flow was cut off, the bank called for loan repayment, their partner called for contract payments, the company’s employees were waiting to be paid, and even the daily water, electricity, and air conditioning of the group’s building was a considerable cost. But Chu Group’s cash flow was cut off, and Chu Group’s rival companies seized the chance to worsen the situation, so Chu Group went bankrupt.

Before Chu Group went bankrupt, Mr. Chu blocked Chu Xiang’s way from work and begged Chu Xiang for help. He had always been more scheming and deliberately asked someone to quietly notify the reporters. He intended to guilt-trip Chu Xiang into helping. After all, he did raise Chu Xiang for three months, and Chu Xiang managed to get into contact with the elite circle because of him.

He planned very thoroughly. If it were anyone else, he might have really gotten his way.

But after Chu Xiang heard his purpose for being there, she showed an apologetic expression. “I really can’t help with this kind of thing.”

“How can you not help? Your company is already listed, and it is an internationally renowned brand, which is making a lot of money every year. I’m only asking you to help me get through this difficult time, and I’ll return the favor as soon as I’m able to turn around this situation. You are not such a cold-blooded person.” Mr. Chu teary voice immediately put Chu Xiang in a difficult position.

But Chu Xiang did not look nervous at all, she just said, “Mr. Chu, don’t be anxious. I understand your feelings, but since I met Old Mrs. Feng at the charity ball, I have been following charities. Although I have earned a lot of money over the years, in addition to investment in the company’s projects, the rest was used for charity. Have you heard of the Angel Foundation project established a few years ago?”

Mr. Chu was stunned. Of course, he had heard of Angel Foundation because Angel Foundation mainly helped people to find their lost relatives. Anyone can go to the Angel Foundation to register their DNA, and Angel Foundation would conduct a monthly match. They were able to find the lost relatives once they found a match. Besides, there were social workers of Angel Foundation in every city and even in the mountains, dedicated to helping people find their loved ones and reunite their families.

Mr. Chu had also registered his DNA before. Although he had long given up looking for his daughter, he thought what if the foundation could help him find her? However, he did not know that Chu Xiang was actually the founder of the Angel Foundation. Had Chu Xiang done it because of her own experience?

He would think so, of course, the reporters present also thought so. Chu Xiang was a new generation’s leading figure. Her story was a household name. Every reporter knew that her parents were unknown and had not been found. Angel Foundation had helped hundreds of people find their loved ones over the years and had helped the police crack down on several traffickers’ bases. However, they never knew that Chu Xiang was the founder of the Angel Foundation.

This piece of news was much bigger than her choice to help the Chu family or not. Reporters swarmed to interview Chu Xiang anxiously about the foundation, pushing the disoriented Mr. Chu to the periphery, rendering him unable to say a word to Chu Xiang anymore.

Chu Xiang not helping Chu Group did not make any waves. Her money was already used on charity. So what if she did not help Chu Group? She and the Chu family had no blood relation. When the Chu family treated her harshly back then, she was already kind enough to not trample on them.
