Jian Mingpeng had better give him a satisfactory answer today, otherwise he would never be able to swallow this humiliation of being played!

Withdrawal of investment is imperative!

Upon hearing this, Jian Mingpeng couldn't help but frown.

He was momentarily taken aback by Jian Yixue's sudden arrival.

When he came to his senses, he saw Cheng Fei deliberately making things difficult for Jian Yixue. Out of dissatisfaction with Jian Yixue, he thought for a moment and decided not to interrupt, but to sit aside and watch the show.

Originally, it was thought that Cheng Fei's skills would allow him to perfectly deal with Jian Yixue and carry out his plan flawlessly.

But the truth is that Cheng Fei lost!

His plan did not include the possibility that Cheng Fei would fail.

He never imagined that his daughter, whom he had abandoned in the countryside since childhood, would have such skills, even surpassing Cheng Fei, a former boxer.

The sudden turn of events caught Jian Mingpeng off guard, leaving him no time to devise a solution before he was confronted with Jian Yixue's interrogation.

Having no other choice, he had to bite the bullet and say those words.

For a moment, he forgot that Cheng Fei was also a difficult guy. In Cheng Fei's eyes, who was unaware of the situation, his actions were seen as deliberately trying to make him look foolish.

Little did he know his true intentions.

However, he couldn't possibly say his true intentions in public, otherwise the consequences would probably be even more serious.

Jian Mingpeng thought for a moment, then looked at Cheng Fei and said, "Her sudden visit caught me off guard. By the time I wanted to speak, you were already arguing, so I didn't have time to continue."

After Jian Mingpeng finished speaking, he did not look away; his gaze remained fixed on Cheng Fei.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Fei frowned, somewhat disbelieving Jian Mingpeng's words.

So Cheng Fei stared intently at Jian Mingpeng for a while, trying to discern something unusual in Jian Mingpeng's eyes.

But how could someone who was always naive and only liked to think with his lower body possibly be a match for the cunning and scheming Jian Mingpeng? Naturally, he couldn't see through anything.

Seeing this, Cheng Fei looked into Jian Mingpeng's sincere eyes, hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to believe Jian Mingpeng's words.

However, he was still not satisfied with this reason and continued, "Even so, why didn't you try to stop us from fighting?"

Upon hearing this, the other two shareholders couldn't help but roll their eyes at Cheng Fei in their hearts.

Only someone as dim-witted as him would believe Jian Mingpeng's words.

Cheng Fei, blinded by lust, naturally failed to notice the change in Jian Mingpeng's expression.

They saw it all clearly. Although they didn't know why Jian Mingpeng's expression was different at the time, they still clearly saw the changes in Jian Mingpeng's expression before and after the woman entered the room.

Jian Mingpeng was clearly avoiding the main point, and their intuition told them that he seemed to be trying to cover something up, but they had no clue what he was trying to hide.

We can only keep watching; maybe we'll find out later, after all...

Thinking of something, the two of them turned their gazes to the other side, to the woman sitting opposite Jian Mingpeng, who was the daughter Jian Mingpeng had mentioned.

Jian Mingpeng's words didn't stir any ripples in Jian Yixue's ears; she wasn't surprised by Jian Mingpeng's behavior.

Jian Mingpeng has done this kind of irresponsible person, who only knows how to shirk responsibility when faced with problems, quite a few times.

Jian Yixue rarely looked up at Jian Mingpeng on the other side of the conference table, her cold gaze fixed on him.

As Jian Mingpeng was pondering how to answer, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and looked over curiously.

~~~~~~~

Their eyes met, and Jian Mingpeng saw a hint of mockery in Jian Yixue's eyes.

It seemed that everything he was doing had already been seen through by Jian Yixue, and the mockery in Jian Yixue's eyes confirmed his thoughts.

A surge of hatred and embarrassment welled up in Jian Mingpeng's heart.

This wretched child! I shouldn't have been so soft-hearted and left such a scourge behind!

The situation I'm facing now is all caused by this wretched child.

And now, she's so blatantly mocking herself.

Jian Mingpeng grew increasingly resentful. If there weren't other people around and a mess to clean up, he would have loved to berate Jian Yixue right now, and even wanted to strangle her!

Jian Mingpeng knew that none of this was currently possible.

Having figured things out, Jian Mingpeng stopped staring at Jian Yixue and turned to continue thinking about how to reply in a way that would appease Cheng Fei and prevent him from withdrawing his investment.

In the past, Jian Mingpeng wouldn't have cared at all whether he withdrew his investment, given his small shareholding; he would have simply absorbed whatever amount Jian Mingpeng withdrew.

Now, the crisis facing Jane's family, and the crisis facing him personally, cannot afford to go wrong in the slightest.

Otherwise, it would be fatal for both the Jian family and him!

Just as Jian Mingpeng was pondering a solution, a voice he was familiar with and loathed rang out.

"Mr. Jian, is there something you've forgotten about my identity? Should you fill in the details, or should I do it myself?"

Jane Yixue said without a trace of emotion.

Upon hearing this, everyone was puzzled and turned to look at the person the woman was referring to—Jian Mingpeng.

Upon hearing this, Jian Mingpeng was furious. Others might not understand what Jian Yixue was saying, but he knew very well what she meant.

This is an attempt to get him to acknowledge her status as a shareholder!

At that moment, he finally understood.

The image of Jian Yixue he had presented before was all an act, all for this moment.

As for his purpose, he probably knew what it was.

Jian Mingpeng made no attempt to hide his anger, glaring at Jian Yixue directly opposite him.

Seeing this, Jian Yixue's expression did not change at all. She looked at Jian Mingpeng with a nonchalant sneer, not taking the threat in Jian Mingpeng's eyes seriously.

"Say it again, will you add to it or will I say it myself?"

Seeing that Jian Yixue completely ignored his anger, Jian Mingpeng blushed instantly, but he couldn't do anything about it.

So, under everyone's gaze, Jian Mingpeng gritted his teeth and said, "Jian Yixue—the second largest shareholder of Jian's Group, owning 25% of Jian's Group's shares."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhi and Xu Dongsheng were immediately shocked, somewhat unable to believe what they had just heard.

It's worth noting that after several rounds of financing, Jane's is now a joint-stock group.

The three shareholders, who came in through capital injection, each held a small portion, while the majority remained in Jian Mingpeng's hands. As for the shares held by Jian Mingpeng's daughter, it was obvious from Jian Mingpeng's words that they must have been given to her by the major shareholder, Jian Mingpeng.

25% of the shares is a huge difference compared to the individual shares they each hold, and even if they were combined, it wouldn't amount to much more.

As for why or what was given to them, the two were quite puzzled.

In that short time, they realized that there wasn't much genuine father-daughter affection between the two.

Why would Jian Mingpeng, who is usually very shrewd, give shares to his daughter?
