Ruan Wanyi glared at him, "Don't worry, even if I have to sell everything I own, I will take out the money. From now on, all of you get out of the Zhan Group and don't even think about pressuring my son again!"
“Madam, you should think this over carefully,” someone warned. “This amount of money is not small. Even if you can come up with it, it’s clear that none of the people here will continue to work for the Zhan Group. With so many core personnel leaving at once, the operation of the Zhan Group will definitely be in trouble, and the consequences will be unimaginable.”
"I don't care," Ruan Wanyi said coldly. "So what if the Zhan Group goes bankrupt?"
"This isn't something you can decide on your own," Zhan Xiuwen said. "Did Jing Ting authorize you?"
“No authorization is needed. I am her mother and the second largest shareholder of the Zhan Group. In his absence, I have the right to make any decision for him.”
A sly smile flashed in Zhan Xiuwen's eyes. "Since that's the case, shouldn't we draft the contract and fulfill it now? What if you change your mind? Right, sister-in-law?"
Ruan Wanyi retorted angrily, "I keep my word! It's just a contract, right? Sign it now!"
As if by prior agreement, all the shareholders collectively signed the contract.
Ruan Wanyi felt a little panicked, but what's done is done, and there was no turning back!
After Zheng Ma went out for a while, she came back and whispered in Ruan Wanyi's ear, "Madam, the finance department asked me to report to you that the group's working capital cannot cover such a large sum of money."
“I know, I just didn’t expect all of these people to betray Jing Ting.” Ruan Wanyi closed her eyes and said, “I don’t have much liquid cash on hand. I just had my personal assistant take it all out. Go call Jiang Dong. Right now, we can only use Jing Ting’s personal account.”
"Yes, I'll make the call right away."
Zhan Xiuwen sat opposite her, arms crossed, looking at Ruan Wanyi with a smile, and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be stubborn. The Zhan Group's money is not enough to pay for it. Even if you sell your house and jewelry now, it won't be enough."
Ruan Wanyi composed herself and said, "I said I would keep my promise even if I had to sell everything I own, not to mention I have some savings of my own!"
Zhan Xiuwen smiled. "Do you really have no concept of this number? Do you think the little money in your pocket is enough to acquire 10% of the shares? It seems that we are destined to be played by you today."
Ruan Wanyi stood up. "Don't worry, I mean what I say. I'll give you as much as I can today, and for the rest, I'll write an IOU and pay you interest at the bank rate. Is that alright?"
Zhan Xiuwen couldn't help but raise his hand and applaud, "As expected of Madam Zhan, you have guts. It's a deal."
“Madam, you should think twice,” someone warned. “This is no small sum of money. If you do this, the daily interest will be at least several million, which will put a lot of pressure on the group.”
Seeing Zhan Xiuwen's provocative gaze, Ruan Wanyi steeled her resolve and said, "A gentleman's word is as good as his bond, and I will never go back on my word!"
The meeting lasted until 8 p.m. After everyone else left one by one, Ruan Wanyi finally breathed a sigh of relief and slumped weakly into her chair.
"Madam, are you alright?" Zheng Ma brought over some bird's nest soup. "You haven't had dinner yet, have something to eat first."
"That's really strange, I didn't feel hungry at all just now."
"You're fighting on the brink of death, you don't have time to worry about being hungry."
Ruan Wanyi picked up a spoon and began to eat.
Madam Zheng chimed in, “Madam, although we have now taken back 10% of the shares from others, the Zhan Group is now heavily indebted. Not to mention, the Zhan family members who work for the group will also leave en masse. I’m afraid the group will face a very big crisis in the future.”
“It’s not just huge, it’s absolutely unprecedented,” Ruan Wanyi said while eating. “But there’s nothing we can do. I can’t let them bully Jingting. Today, it’s my son and I who kicked them away. It’s because we don’t care about the position of the head of the Zhan family, not because they drove Jingting out of the position of the head.”
"The price you paid for this pride was far too high."
"But I feel great. Even if I lose everything, I'll accept it!"
"Madam." Jiang Dong knocked on the door and entered, nodding as he said, "I was reporting on the group's affairs to Master Zhan, but he wasn't interested and interrupted me before I finished speaking. Knowing that you need money, he took out all the money he could afford. Please take a look."
Ruan Wanyi took the iPad from Jiang Dong, took a closer look, and her eyes widened. "Jing Ting is so rich..."
"As the president of the Zhan Group, Master Zhan naturally has ample financial resources, but this amount is far from enough to acquire the shares."
"Try to look on the bright side. The more money the acquisition requires, the more valuable our Zhan Group is," Ruan Wanyi comforted herself. "Take this money first, and pay back as much as you can. That way, you can pay less interest."
"yes."
......
Overnight, the Zhan family underwent a complete upheaval.
The next morning, Zhan Yin rushed to Wutong Bay, shouting, "Something terrible has happened!"
Ruan Wanyi was eating breakfast when he startled her. "Zhan Yin, can you please stop being so jumpy?"
"Something really bad has happened!" Zhan Yin exclaimed breathlessly as he ran. "Zhan...Zhan Xiuwen has become the head of the Zhan family!"
“What’s so strange about that?” Ruan Wanyi said calmly. “Jing Ting said that his ambition is obvious and it’s normal for him to become the head of the Zhan family.”
"But that's not all!" Zhan Yin sat down, picked up a glass of orange juice and gulped down more than half of it before he could catch his breath. "The Zhan family also set up a company called the Hezhong Alliance, with Zhan Xiuwen serving as its CEO!"
"More importantly, their development direction highly overlaps with that of the Zhan Group. After all, their members all left the Zhan Group, and I heard that they are going to replace the Zhan Group next!"
"What did you say..." Ruan Wanyi was shocked. "How could this be..."
“Auntie, I secretly went home last night and heard my dad and the others celebrating. They said you were ignorant and impulsive. They just provoked you, and you actually spent a high price to buy their shares just to get revenge. You were clearly courting death.”
"Bang!" Ruan Wanyi slammed her chopsticks heavily on the table, her face turning deathly pale!
Zheng Ma hurriedly tried to calm her down, "Madam, don't worry. You've never experienced anything like this before, so it's normal to make mistakes. Please don't get upset."
"My aunt-in-law, they also said..."
"What else did you say?" Ruan Wanyi asked hurriedly.
"I never imagined that my uncle, such a tough nut to crack, would end up dying at the hands of a woman. Qiao Wanwan is now in a vegetative state, and he's nearly dead himself. Now, with you, this incompetent teammate, you've completely destroyed the Zhan Group. This time, my uncle can forget about ever making a comeback..."
