Chapter 84 Chapter 84 Finally realizing my childhood dream
On the second Sunday after Yu Wan moved, she saw the news on her phone that Yufeng Group and Haidu Group had jointly acquired Tai'an Energy.
The official explanation is that it was because of the Cekai battery cell accident that Yufeng firmly followed the path of independent research and development and insisted on bringing better products to consumers.
The media praised the acquisition of Tai'an and expressed optimism about Yufeng. For a time, Yufeng Group was in the limelight.
Yu Wan keenly noticed something amiss between the lines.
During the time she followed Fu Zhiyao, Yu Wan met many clients and discussed cooperation with many company bosses, but Tai'an never appeared on Fu's cooperation list.
When Taian's high-efficiency storage battery was launched, Yu Wan, who was familiar with Taian's battery cell product strength through his Ansu Electric Energy Vehicle, thought that Fu Zhiyao would cooperate with Taian.
It was discovered that Fu Zhiyao would rather spend time and money waiting for the company's researchers to develop new battery cell products than choose Tai'an.
Yu Wan was curious and asked Fu Zhiyao the reason. Fu Zhiyao did not explain it clearly. Instead, he asked her to look at the internal organizational structure of Taian and write an analytical paper for him.
Yu Wan's expression at the time was indescribable, and she could only agree reluctantly. She bought several books on economics and studied them for half a month before handing the messy paper to Fu Zhiyao.
She still remembered Fu Zhiyao's expression. He held her essay in his hand, sneered, and said mercilessly, "Secretary Yu, how did you pass your undergraduate thesis?"
Yu Wan: “…”
However, Fu Zhiyao was only dissatisfied with the form and content of Yu Wan's paper, but he expressed his approval of the current situation and development risks of Tai'an listed by Yu Wan, and added a few points to her.
Tai'an was a state-owned enterprise in the early years, and later became a private enterprise in line with the reform and opening up. Due to structural changes, there was a serious division within the management team, and no one was willing to submit to anyone else. There was even an incident where one party who disagreed with a cooperation matter stole the official seal and took it away. It was once ridiculed by the public, but it continued to be active in the market because of its strong product strength.
Now, when the news of Yufeng and Haidu jointly acquiring Tai'an Energy came out, Yu Wan felt something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out why.
Clicking on the news photo, Lu Yusen was standing in the center of several executives, wearing a well-ironed suit and looking high-spirited, while in the corner, Lu Sui was wearing a neat suit and had a refined and outstanding temperament.
In order to avoid suspicion, Lu Sui only met her once half a month ago.
After meeting, Lu Sui didn't say much and bluntly asked her not to contact him for a while. Yu Wan took the opportunity to ask Lu Sui about his plans and asked him if there was anything he could help with, but he fooled her.
Lu Sui looked at her, his brows calm and his voice gentle. He said, "Yu Wan, if you trust me, just do as I say. When this is over, I will explain everything to you. The Lu family's affairs can be easily resolved. I will not be in any danger. Since seven years ago, the Lu family has been on a downward spiral. Now it's like a shaky building. It only needs a slight push and it will collapse."
Yu Wan knew she couldn't persuade Lu Sui.
Lu Sui wants revenge, a revenge he has endured for nearly eighteen years. Yu Wan cannot be condescending and say that Lu Sui is too calculative and should let go of his hatred. If this is the knot in Lu Sui's heart, he must eradicate it before it can heal. Then Yu Wan hopes that Lu Sui can succeed, and most importantly... be safe.
Yu Wan said, "Brother Lu Sui, I believe in you. You must take your medicine on time. When this is over, come find me. I have savings and can rent a decent house. I also have bonuses, so I can support you for a year."
Lu Sui kept smiling, with a slight curve at the corner of his lips: "That's great, we are finally going to realize our childhood dream."
There is a big house, hot meals and warm beds.
"Yu Wan, thank you."
This is what Lu Sui said in his last words.
Thinking of the conversation that day, Yu Wan pursed her lips, feeling inexplicably uneasy.
This uneasiness became a reality when I saw the news again a week later.
The financial statements of Dongxin Insurance Company, a subsidiary of Yufeng Group, were exposed as falsified and reported by a well-known foreign short-selling institution. Just as it was about to go public, it was forced to suspend trading by the China Securities Regulatory Commission and delisted from Nasdaq!
Immediately afterwards, U.S. stock investors united and formally sued Dongxin in China for increasing its transaction volume by 2.237 billion yuan through fictitious business, completely confirming the fact that Dongxin had committed financial fraud.
Starting from Monday, Eastcom's stock price fell all the way. At the close of Friday, Eastcom's stock price fell to US$3.41. Countless shareholders sold their shares like hot potatoes.
The decline in Dongxin’s stock price directly implicated Yufeng Group. The original equity transfer with Tai’an Energy was also unilaterally terminated due to the “Notice of Termination of Agreement” issued by Tai’an Energy. The reason was the negative impact brought about by Yufeng Group’s financial fraud.
But at this time, Haidu Group had already paid the equity transfer amount in accordance with the agreement. Tai'an unilaterally breached the contract and once again introduced a third party, Huiyang Group, to acquire the company.
By this time, Yufeng was in complete chaos, and Haidu was undoubtedly the biggest victim in the acquisition case.
Bang!
"What did I say back then? I told you Lu Juefeng wasn't a good person, and you and Song Chuchu kept clinging to him, and Chuchu spent all these years trying to get him what?! Now look at how much liquid funds are left on the company's books? You want us, Haidu, to be buried with Yufeng!"
A red mark immediately appeared on Yu Heya's face. She did not cover it but looked at Song Zhengxiong coldly.
"Did I force you to sign the contract? Did I approve the transfer?" Yu Heya grabbed the armrest of the chair beside her, her words were aggressive, but her tone was remarkably calm. "It was you who coveted the profits after the acquisition. It was you who thought you could turn the tables with Yufeng. You are the one who is blinded by greed and profit-seeking. I just want to plan a good future for Chuchu. Otherwise, it will take years for your illegitimate son to grow up before he can take over the company. If you don't care about Chuchu, I will."
Yu Heya raised Song Chuchu for twenty-three years. No one loved Chuchu more than her. She put all her efforts and energy into Chuchu. It would be impossible for her to invest so much time on another person in her life, including her biological daughter Yu Wan.
Thinking of the child's excellence, Yu Heya felt a sudden pain in her heart. She clenched her teeth and restrained her emotions.
Yu Heya: "Haidu's development has been at its end in recent years. If it weren't for Yufeng, Haidu's situation would be even worse than it is now. It's just a failure in the IPO. As long as Lu Juefeng is willing, Yufeng will never fall. I will ask him for help. As for that illegitimate child, he will always be a illegitimate child!"
"Are you crazy?! Don't think I don't know you're targeting Meiru and her son. Just be a good chairman's wife! Don't forget the promise you made to me. You're where you are now because I was soft-hearted back then..."
Song Chuchu didn't listen to what was said afterwards. She covered her mouth and went back to her room. She wiped her face, and her palms were full of tears.
There is a problem in the family company.
This was the only thought in Song Chuchu's mind.
Having lived in this world since her childhood, she knew what problems at her company meant. At the very least, they would face restructuring, downsizing, and the struggle to maintain a luxurious and respectable lifestyle. At worst, they would face bankruptcy and liquidation. Even if they had assets, they would still have to live in fear and become the talk of the high society.
Song Chuchu wiped her tears, tried hard to think of a solution in her mind, and finally chose to call Lu Jufeng.
Brother Juefeng is so powerful, he must have a way to solve the problem. Moreover, Tai'an Energy breached the contract first. Can Haidu get back the equity transfer payment through the same breach of contract?
The phone rang for half a minute and then automatically hung up. Brother Juefeng did not answer her call.
Song Chuchu didn't give up and continued to call until she made twenty calls in a row, but still no one answered.
As if she finally realized something, Song Chuchu threw her phone to the ground and cried helplessly. As she cried, her tears dried up and her emotions were like a suddenly dried-up sea.
Song Chuchu picked up the phone again and called Lu Yusen.
She bit her lips until they turned pale, and finally, the sound of the phone being connected came from the other end.
"Lu Yusen! What's going on? Where's Brother Juefeng? Why didn't he answer my call? What did you do to him?"
It is obvious that Lu Juefeng has withdrawn from the management of Yufeng Group. He appeared quietly in the company some time ago and settled Cekai's public opinion for Yufeng. It must have been Brother Juefeng's idea to join forces with Haidu to acquire Tai'an, but no one would have expected that Dongxin Insurance, a subsidiary of Yufeng, would be involved in financial fraud.
Dongxin Insurance Company is a company registered under the name of Lu Yusen. The reason why Lu Yusen has a place in Yufeng is that he indirectly controls Yufeng by controlling Dongxin and becoming the third largest shareholder besides Lu Zongxin and another board member.
It is obvious that Dongxin’s financial fraud is Lu Yusen’s fault.
Brother Juefeng inexplicably became the one to take the blame. Coupled with the loss and anger caused by not being able to get through to Lu Juefeng's phone, Song Chuchu lost her mind and spoke without thinking to Lu Yusen on the other end of the phone. Sometimes she talked about Lu Juefeng not answering the phone, sometimes she talked about the quarrel between Yu Heya and Song Zhengxiong, sometimes she worried about what she would do if the company went bankrupt, and finally she talked about her illegitimate child.
In short, put all the blame on Lu Yusen, as if this would release all the suppressed emotions in my heart.
Lu Yusen was fed up with what he heard and didn't even bother to maintain his last bit of dignity. He was so overwhelmed by the financial fraud that he simply exposed what he had investigated last time to find something for Song Chuchu to do.
Lu Yusen's tone was impatient, with a hint of gnashing teeth: "Alright, Song Chuchu, I don't have time to play with you. Go vent your anger to Yu Heya. She's not your biological mother, but she's better than her. You're not much different from that illegitimate child. You should be thankful that you're a lucky illegitimate child. Otherwise, you wouldn't have the right to talk to me."
Lucky bastard.
Song Chuchu keenly grasped the word, her throat dry from not drinking water for a long time, and she made a raspy sound: "You said I was a illegitimate child? My mother took care of me for twenty-three years. She is Song Zhengxiong's second wife, but she is not a mistress, and I am not a illegitimate child!"
Lu Yusen sneered, "Don't you understand yet? Yu Heya is not your biological mother. Yu Heya is Yu Wan's biological mother. Use your walnut-sized brain to think about it. Stop bothering me. Even if your Song family goes bankrupt, it has nothing to do with Yu Feng."
With just one sentence, Song Chuchu was hit to the ground.
