During the meal, after learning the news, Xu Kui seemed a little absent-minded throughout.
It seems that it is all about Xu’s shares.
As the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire. Since such news has been spread, there must be some clues behind it.
Afterwards, Xu Kui found out a lot of information without leaving any trace.
After finishing his meal, he did not attend the next game. After all, the news he had just received made him eager to verify it.
"Hello, Lao Li, it's me. Yes, you're still awake, right?"
"There are some things I want to ask you..."
Xu Kui made a series of calls and got almost all the information. After hanging up the phone, a smile appeared on his face.
How could this not be considered as someone dozing off and handing him a pillow? He had just had a quarrel with the old man two days ago over the company's management issues. At that moment, he understood deeply that although he seemed to be able to call the shots in Xu's company now, in fact, all the power in his hands was given to him by the old man. If one day the old man was unhappy, he would actually be nothing in Xu's company.
He doesn't have any shares and only has the empty title of general manager.
But if he could own a large number of shares in Xu's like Xu Nanzhi, then even if he was not the chairman, with his current position in the board of directors, he would be able to compete with the old man.
Therefore, he is determined to obtain the mortgaged shares on the market, and even take them for himself.
The next morning, Xu Kui contacted his people early. In a secluded teahouse in the suburbs, Xu Kui said to the young man in front of him who looked to be in his early thirties, "You should participate in more activities of the Annan Group recently, and pay special attention to Zhou Fang's movements."
"I've received some information. Zhou Fang is mortgaging some of his shares in the Xu Corporation. Try to contact him."
"And Angus from Annan Investment, I heard he's also very interested in these shares. Let's see what the price is and how much we'd like to buy."
The man opposite nodded after hearing what Xu Kui said: "Okay, I'll try to get in touch with them. The company has been developing well recently, and I should be able to get in touch with these people."
Xu Kui pondered for a moment: "Well, we should be careful and not let anyone find out about our relationship."
"I know." The man opposite nodded.
After that, he took a sip of the tea in front of him and looked at Xu Kui: "How is Xiaoyun doing recently?"
Xu Kui's expression softened, a rare occurrence. "She's about to give birth. The due date is approaching, and she's been eating more than usual lately. There are several people at home taking care of her."
Hearing Xu Kui say this, the man's expression softened slightly, "That's good. I was out of town discussing a project before, and I was worried for a long time when I heard she was having morning sickness."
"Please take more care of Xiaoyun. After all, you are a family now."
Xu Kui poured a cup of tea to the man in front of him: "What are you talking about? We are a family. Logically speaking, you are still my brother-in-law."
The man in front of him did not respond directly, but said modestly: "You are very polite. I dare not be so arrogant."
Xu Kui's face flashed with satisfaction at his words: "Why should I be afraid? You are Xiaoyun's brother, and Xiaoyun is now the mother of my future child. This is how it is based on seniority."
Afterwards, he spoke as if he had just remembered something: "Although I can't give Xiaoyun a legitimate status now, when the time is right, I will definitely marry Xiaoyun."
"She's suffered so much for me, I definitely won't let her sacrifice go in vain. However, I don't have much say in either the old house or the Xu family. If I file for divorce now, I'm afraid the old man will be the first to object."
"Wait a little longer."
What Xu Kui said was actually no different from empty promises. According to Yao Lihua's personality, she might not necessarily divorce even if Xu Kui proposed it.
What's more, Xu Kui may not leave.
There may be illegitimate children in their circle, but it is rare for them to care about their wives.
Most of them just turn a blind eye and do their own thing, which is not more decent than breaking up with each other.
The man opposite didn't say anything, just nodded and changed the topic to work again.
. . . . . .
At this moment, in addition to Xu Kui, Xu Shiqing, who was tortured to death by the family rules in the Xu family, also learned about this matter through Xiao Dao's message.
Of course, Xu Nanzhi and Zhou Fang had played a significant role in this.
It took me quite some time to tell her about Xu Shiqing's news.
After all, in terms of connections, Xu Shiqing really doesn't have as wide a network as Xu Kui. In addition, she has been following Su Yanqing in the past few years, and she hasn't made many friends with people of the same age.
However, this does not prevent Xu Shiqing from having several loyal supporters.
The news about Xu's shares was told to her by these young sisters who supported Xu Shiqing.
Originally, the man had only told Xu Shiqing about this as gossip. After all, she had been confined to the Xu family for a while, and she felt quite depressed. After learning about Zhou Fang's mortgaged shares, his first reaction was that he was short of money, or that he was having trouble making ends meet.
On the phone, the man said to Xu Shiqing, "Shiqing, don't you think this is funny? Last time at the Xu family's old man's banquet, Xu Nanzhi was so arrogant, and even hinted in her tone that the Zhou family's 5% stake in Xu Corporation would still be hers in the future. Guess what's going on this time? It's going to be mortgaged."
"I'm afraid Xu Nanzhi is still dreaming of the Spring and Autumn period when the shares will be given to her for free!"
"But it's normal not to give it to her. She doesn't have any long-standing kinship with the Zhou family. The only difference is that the current old man of the Zhou family is her father's uncle, but he's dead. How can such a distant relative really think that they can take her seriously?"
When the girl opposite said this, her tone was full of smugness, as if she wanted to take credit for Xu Shiqing. However, when Xu Shiqing heard that Zhou Fang wanted to mortgage shares, she had a lot more to consider.
She thought that if these shares could come into her hands, it would be no small amount of money. Her eyes changed and she asked the person on the phone, "Are you serious?"
Xu Shiqing's voice was a little cold when she asked, and everyone was stunned. "Ah, really? Of course it's true. Not many people know about this. I only found out about it by chance."
