Having said that, Lin Shurong suddenly turned around and grabbed Lu Jingchuan's arm, her hands shaking uncontrollably.
With an excited look, he said, "Jingchuan, Shang Group belongs to my Shang family. Please help me persuade Xiao Chi and make sure he cheers up.
The Shang family can't do without him, and the Shang Group can't do without him even more. If he continues like this, the company will really be finished."
Lu Jingchuan nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, Aunt Lin, I will persuade the boss."
Lu Jingchuan stood up and walked towards the study.
The two nannies at the door saw Lu Jingchuan coming and pushed the door open on their own accord. Lu Jingchuan walked straight in.
The nanny immediately closed the door again.
After entering, the scene in the study was very different from what Lu Jingchuan had imagined.
He thought Shang Jingchi would get drunk in there, act crazy with a bottle of wine, and make the whole room so messy that there was no place to step.
But no, Shang Jingchi was sitting at the desk in a black home suit, a cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth, his eyes fixed on the computer screen in front of him.
He hadn't had a haircut or shave for a month and looked much more haggard.
Seeing Lu Jingchuan walk in, Shang Jingchi just looked up and glanced at him, then turned his gaze to the computer screen.
Lu Jingchuan walked around the table and came to Shang Jingchi's side. He said in the same relaxed tone as before, "Boss, didn't you dislike smoking before? Why are you smoking now?"
Shang Jingchi didn't reply. Lu Jingchuan looked at the computer screen and realized that the screen was showing the company's stock.
The stock market has been plummeting for a month and there is no sign of recovery.
"Boss, what are you looking at this for?"
"Wait for an opportunity." Shang Jingchi said lightly, his voice low and hoarse.
Lu Jingchuan thought for a moment, "Are you planning to use this opportunity to take back the shares you originally transferred out?"
Shang Jingchi looked up and asked, "Isn't it possible?"
"It's not that I can't, it's just that the risk is too great." Lu Jingchuan rubbed his chin and looked at Shang Jingchi. "Boss, why are you... different from before?"
When Lu Jingchuan came half a month ago, Shang Jingchi seemed like a different person, seeking death, and it took many bodyguards to subdue him.
Lin Shurong also hired six psychologists to surround him in a circle and help him with psychological counseling.
In order to prevent him from committing suicide, Jiang Zhuoyu placed the portraits of Shang Jingchi's father and grandfather on the table in the study.
Always remind him that he is a businessman and he has his own responsibilities.
Shang Jingchi lowered his head and turned the ring on his left ring finger. It was the wedding ring he and Wen Ran had arranged, and he had always worn it.
"Jingchuan, do you believe that Ranran is still alive?"
Lu Jingchuan was shocked and looked at Shang Jingchi again in disbelief.
I wondered if Shang Jingchi's illness was too serious and he had begun to develop delusions, believing that Wen Ran was still alive.
That's why he looks like a normal person.
"Impossible. That cruise ship is so huge. From the deck to the sea level, it's at least eight stories high. Even if you threw a watermelon on it, it would rot into watermelon juice."
Lu Jingchuan frowned and hesitated before saying, "Boss, if it doesn't work, let's go get a doctor..."
"Mo Feifei is investing in a new drama." Shang Jingchi's expression was stern, his tone firm and serious. "Jiang Yiyi is studying while developing a new wine, and Xiao Zhao is working as Mo Feifei's assistant."
Lu Jingchuan didn't understand and scratched his head, "Boss, what does this mean?"
Shang Jingchi took a puff of cigarette and slowly exhaled.
"They have always been close to Ranran. If Ranran really died, do you think they would react like this?"
Lu Jingchuan was stunned for a moment, and two seconds later, he suddenly realized, "Yes! The day after that day, the short drama that Mo Feifei invested in started filming, and they were filming two dramas at the same time.
It’s no exaggeration to say that Xiao Zhao used to be Wen Ran’s follower, and she always protected Wen Ran on the set.
I remember when Wen Ran was injured while filming, Xiao Zhao cried until her eyes were swollen. This time, she acted as if nothing had happened and even went to assist Mo Feifei. It was so abnormal.
Shang Jingchi's lips curled slightly, his eyes revealing confidence and composure, "There is only one explanation for this anomaly, and that is Ranran is still alive."
"And he must be alive and well."
At this point, Shang Jingchi's eyes dimmed instantly, "She tried so hard to leave me that she even jumped into the sea."
Shang Jingchi smiled bitterly, his smile filled with helplessness and self-mockery.
"In Ranran's mind, I must be a venomous snake or a ferocious beast, which is why she avoids me so much."
"Boss..." Lu Jingchuan sighed, "I'm happy for you that you can cheer up, but if Wen Ran is still alive, I hope you won't bother her. Let her go, and let yourself go."
Shang Jingchi leaned back in his chair, the light from his cigarette butt flickering, sometimes brighter and sometimes darker, as he inhaled.
He didn't say anything, his eyes fixed on the diamond ring on his ring finger.
Ever since he had the idea that Wen Ran was still alive, he had ordered people to search for Wen Ran everywhere.
As long as there is evidence of Wen Ran's ID card being swiped through any system, or any trace of payment, he will be able to immediately know Wen Ran's whereabouts.
But it has been half a month, and Wen Ran seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth.
No matter how hard he looked, he couldn't find anyone.
…
Half a month later.
Shang Jingchi cut his hair short, shaved his beard, put on a well-tailored suit, and drove to the company.
A general meeting of shareholders was held in the company.
Most shareholders feel that given the company's current situation, it will be difficult for it to make a comeback.
Shang Jingchi bought back the shares of several major shareholders at the market price on the spot.
Seeing this, other small shareholders lost their patience and began to sell their shares.
Shang Jingchi's shareholding suddenly increased from 45% to 78%.
And in the corner of the shareholders' meeting, there was a person sitting who held 10% of the shares.
It was his half-brother, Shang Shiyang.
The shareholders' meeting has ended and everyone left the meeting room in turn.
In the end, only Shang Jingchi, Xu Yuan and Shi Yang were left here.
Shang Jingchi signaled to Xu Yuan with his eyes. Xu Yuan nodded and walked to the corner where Shi Yang was sitting.
Shi Yang was dressed very low-key, in a white T-shirt, white jeans, and a mask, but the elegant and noble temperament he exuded was hard to ignore.
"Mr. Shang, if you transfer your shares today, you can get the highest market price offered by Mr. Shang. You will never get this price again. I hope Mr. Shang can consider it carefully.
The Chamber of Commerce will wait for you here for ten minutes. I hope you can give us a satisfactory answer in ten minutes."
Shi Yang raised his chin and said in a resounding voice, "My name is Shi Yang, not Shang."
Xu Yuan looked back at Shang Jingchi, then said to Shi Yang, "Okay, Mr. Shi, please consider what I just said."
