Chapter 183 She's Leaving

Shang Wu smiled and gently pulled her hand away from Lu Rang's.

"I won't kneel, and I don't want the company anymore."

Lu Rang frowned, not understanding her meaning for a moment: "What did you say?"

I said,

Shang Wu said, word by word, "I'm giving up on this company. I'll sell it, and once I find a buyer and complete the formalities, I'll leave this place completely. Could you please be lenient and let me go?"

Sell ​​the company? Leave?

Lu Rang froze, his mind suddenly buzzing.

A sharp, inexplicable pain instantly pierced through him, coming quickly and violently.

Lu Rang subconsciously pressed his hand to his chest, his face turning slightly pale.

He wasn't happy to hear that she was going to disappear completely.

Isn't this what he wanted?

To take revenge on this heartless woman, to see her lose everything, to see her weep and beg for mercy.

But why, when she said she was going to give up everything and leave, did he feel as if something vital was being forcibly ripped from his life, leaving a bloody, mangled wound?

Lu Rang opened his mouth, but no sound came out. He could only look at Shang Wu.

Shang Wu remained calm, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

There was pain, despair, a glimmer of relief, and a sorrow that Lu Rang could not comprehend.

Finally, she turned and left resolutely.

The sound of footsteps gradually faded into the distance, eventually disappearing at the end of the corridor.

The office door closed gently.

Lu Rang remained frozen in place, breathing rapidly, his mind a chaotic blank.

He clearly hated her to the core.

But why... does my heart hurt so much?

A strange and intense sense of loss and panic had been tormenting Lu Rang.

He couldn't find any reason.

"Someone come here."

Lu Rang picked up the landline and gave a command.

Soon, a figure appeared outside the office.

Qianjue limped in and looked at Lu Rang.

"Young Master, what's wrong? You look so pale."

Lu Rang slowly sat down at the table, frowned, and after a long while said, "You should withdraw the hacker team and lift the targeting of Freya Group."

Qianjue was stunned for a moment, and shrugged, unable to understand.

"Why? Their system is already firmly locked down by us. If their finance and customer resources can't operate smoothly, there will be big problems. There's absolutely no need to stop now, otherwise everything will be in vain!"

Thinking of the millions in hiring fees, he felt that this matter had to be accomplished in one go.

Lu Rang raised his eyes and stared at him coldly.

"You're not listening to what I'm saying anymore?"

Qianjue immediately lowered her head, not daring to offer any further opinions.

He said softly, "Okay, I understand. I'll go and make them withdraw now. But that would mean all our efforts would be in vain. The Freya Group can still resume normal operations. Should we think of other ways to deal with her?"

Lu Rang's gaze grew colder and colder.

Before he could speak, Qianjue sensed danger and turned away quickly without saying a word.

After he left, Lu Rang turned on his computer and started monitoring Freya Group's stock market performance.

The line, which had been trending downwards, suddenly rebounded and rose sharply.

Lu Rang leaned back in his seat, staring intently at the changes in the lines.

That is, until financial news began reporting on the problems plaguing the Freya Group.

"Today, the group suffered an unknown attack, which caused the internal system to crash. Many partners called the group's president at the same time."

Fortunately, the system has been restored. Everyone should be vigilant; this could be a new type of business tactic…

The reporter's words became increasingly vague.

Lu Rang frowned thoughtfully, picking up his phone several times and then putting it down again.

Now, Shangwu should no longer have the idea of ​​selling the company.

Her company is now safe and sound, with losses almost negligible.

There's absolutely no need to run away.

Forget it, why bother thinking about this?

If she wants to sell the company and leave, let her go.

A woman who betrayed him should have fled Lincheng with her tail between her legs and never come back.

Lu Rang frowned deeply, lost in thought, but felt no satisfaction in seeking revenge.

...

At this moment, Shang Wu had already driven to the building where the group was located.

While in the car, she had already made several phone calls to her partners.

Fortunately, no matter how many ups and downs she went through during this period, the group maintained a stable cooperative relationship.

Several major clients are not short of money and are very satisfied to have her as a channel within their company to establish a cooperative chain.

If she sells the company directly to the major client, they will essentially have acquired an entire production line.

For them, it's a win-win situation.

Upon hearing Shang Wu's purpose for coming, the group was very surprised that she wanted to sell the company, but they immediately arranged a time to discuss the price with her.

Acquiring such a large group is no easy task, and the necessary funds cannot be raised in a short period of time.

Shang Wu knew they didn't have enough assets and cash flow, so he extended the timeframe.

Whoever raises enough money first within a month will be able to take over the group.

The fact that several clients started scheming and competing was not Shang Wu's original intention.

But now she has to find the fastest way to get rid of it.

As for the company, she only told Aying this news.

As for the company's employees, they will continue to work as usual when one of the bosses takes over, which will not affect their jobs. They don't need to know about this news now, which is causing panic.

Ah Ying was extremely shocked and followed Shang Wu around in circles.

She asked the question more than a dozen times.

"Really? Mr. Shang, you're not joking, are you? You're really going to sell the company! This... why would you suddenly sell it?"

Shang Wu calmly drew back the curtains and stood in front of the French windows. She glanced at the crowd below before turning back to look at her.

"Do you think I still need to stay in Lincheng? You've seen what happened. Lu Rang hates me and is doing everything he can to target me. I'm suffering here. I might as well just disappear completely."

Isn't it a win-win situation to become a passerby in Lu Rang's memory, someone not even worth the effort to hate?

Aying frowned: "But if that happens, there will really be no chance for you and Attorney Lu to get back together. You've been through so much to get to where you are now, can you really give it up?"

"It's not that I want to give it up, it's that I have to do it."

Shang Wu pressed down on her shoulders, his gaze intense: "Don't worry, I'll tell them that the condition for acquiring the company is that you continue to be the president's special assistant. If you don't want to stay here, then..."

“I’ll follow you wherever you go. I know you still want to continue your jewelry design, so I’ll be your assistant. Anyway, when Chengzhou Group was still around, I was your assistant in the jewelry department.”

Aying answered without hesitation, her eyes reddening: "I don't want you to leave, President Shang. Please take me with you, okay? Please don't abandon me. I've gotten used to having you by my side all these years."

Shang Wu felt heartbroken and somewhat uneasy.

She had already gotten used to having A-Ying around.

Regardless of their personal lives, they always work together seamlessly.

If she leaves here to focus on designing her work, it would be a good thing to have an assistant like Ah Ying to help her.

Shang Wu took a deep breath and nodded: "Okay, once someone takes over, you will continue to be their secretary. After the handover, come to my side a month later. I will design the jewelry pieces, and you will be my assistant. No matter what, we will be together."

Ah Ying burst out laughing and nodded vigorously.

"Okay, we'll always be together."

Shang Wu smiled slightly, sat down at the table to work, and waited for several clients to send her messages.

Even though she went to great lengths to conceal it and only conducted the transaction in secret, rumors still began to circulate within the circle.

The news that Shang Wu seemed to be planning to sell the entire Freya Group and run away with the money sparked much discussion.

No one was too surprised.

"She definitely can't stay here any longer. She's broken up with him several times, and she's constantly running into the young master of the Yu family. How awkward and painful must that be?"

"Besides, who else in Lincheng would dare to take her? Given her entanglements with the Yu family, no one would want to get involved with her troubles."

"Sigh, I knew that a woman like her, who is so calculating, would not have a good end. Being too smart never ends well. We should just stick to the traditional marriage alliance."

Several wealthy and beautiful women were chatting in the restaurant, completely unaware that two men were passing by.

Lu Rang came here to discuss work. As he passed the tables in the public area on the first floor, he paused and his gaze fell precisely on several wealthy and beautiful women who were chatting.

Qianjue frowned and walked over.

"Young Master, what's wrong?"

Lu Rang withdrew his gaze, turned around and went upstairs without saying a word.

Soon, the restaurant manager approached the women and said to them expressionlessly, "Please leave here immediately. You are not allowed to patronize this restaurant anymore."

The group stared in disbelief: "Why? We weren't making any noise just now."

"Young Master Yu is dining here. He heard what you just said. If you don't want to die, get out of here!" the manager threatened in a low voice.

The group turned pale with fright and quickly grabbed their bags and ran away.

upstairs.

Lu Rang walked into the private room with an icy expression, and Qian Jue followed behind, wanting to ask him why he had the manager kick the person out earlier.

Seeing that his business partner was present, he quickly changed the subject.

Gao Hai went over and shook hands with Lu Rang.

"Young Master Yu, you've arrived. Please have a seat. What brings you to dinner today?"

Lu Rang sat down and glanced at him.

"Are you aware that Shang Wu is planning to sell the company?"

Gao Hai was taken aback, then quickly nodded.

I know.

Lu Rang narrowed his eyes slightly, "Do something for me."
