Upon hearing his son's cries, Wang Peng suddenly sat up in bed.
Seeing his son crying in the crib, he quickly picked him up and untied his diaper.
"Goodness, he pooped so much." Wang Peng hurriedly grabbed some toilet paper to clean his bottom.
After being put on a new diaper, Wang Jiye finally stopped crying. He reached out and grabbed Wang Peng's hair, which hurt a little, and Wang Peng quickly pulled away.
"Wow!" Wang Jiye cried again, sobbing with snot and tears streaming down his face.
"You brat." Wang Peng sighed helplessly and could only lower his head to scratch his hair.
Just then, the phone rang again. Wang Peng answered the phone: "Hello, this is Wang Peng."
A tired voice came from the phone: "Brother Peng, this is Du Lei."
"What's wrong?" Wang Peng immediately sat up straight and put his son on his lap.
"The glorious counterattack has arrived," Du Lei said. "They are aggressively acquiring our shares, with the three major shareholders, Zhao, Qian, and Sun, personally involved."
Hearing this, Wang Peng was somewhat dumbfounded. The three major shareholders, Zhao, Qian, and Sun, were all seasoned businessmen with over ten years of experience and substantial wealth.
"Brother Peng, Wang Cheng has regained his position as president of Brilliant. I have inside information that he was the one who instigated this hostile takeover attempt,"
"He's really funny. When you're not around, he's more well-behaved than a grandson. But after you've only been gone for two days, he's jumping for joy," Du Lei added.
Wang Peng couldn't hold back and burst out laughing. Wang Jiye blinked his beady black eyes, staring at his father with a puzzled look.
Du Lei couldn't hold back any longer and asked in a low voice, "Brother Peng, what are you laughing at?"
Wang Peng stopped laughing and said, "Most of the shares are in my hands, and a small portion is in yours and the old man's. If you and the old man don't sell, the remaining retail investors can buy them as they please. Doing so will also drive up our stock price."
He is not worried about shareholders selling their shares. Because the company is not yet publicly listed, there will be no short selling or similar actions.
Du Lei said, "Brother Peng, I'm not worried about them acquiring the shares. I think this is just a test. Their real purpose is to prevent our No. 5 store from opening in the Brilliant District."
“The Huihuang No. 5 store is the foundation of Huihuang Supermarket. That’s why they’re afraid of us entering the Huihuang area,” Du Lei added.
“You’re right, they are indeed afraid,” Wang Peng said. “Have they taken any concrete action?”
"Yes," Du Lei said. "Yesterday morning, relevant departments came to our construction site for inspection and said there were safety hazards, so they asked us to suspend operations for rectification."
Upon hearing this, Wang Peng frowned. He felt that acquiring the shares was a smokescreen, and that this was Wang Cheng's real purpose.
"Brother Peng, this is why I called you." Du Lei said.
As Wang Peng was thinking, his son, Wang Jiye, suddenly burst into tears. He quickly said, "Brother Lei, hang up now, I'll call you back later."
After saying that, he threw his phone on the bed and wandered around the room with his son in his arms.
Hurried footsteps came from outside the door, and Li Mingzhu and Li Mengjiao rushed in.
"My darling son, are you hungry?" Li Mingzhu hurriedly picked up her son and sat on the bed to feed him.
"I'm going to get the milk powder." Li Mengjiao turned and left, hurrying downstairs.
At this moment, Wang Buhui peeked into the room. When she saw Wang Peng, she stretched out her arms, asking for a hug. Wang Peng picked her up and sat her on the edge of the bed.
"Auntie, how old is my little brother?" Wang Buhui asked, pointing at Wang Jiye.
"Less than four months," Li Mingzhu said with a smile. "Bu Hui, isn't your little brother adorable?"
"Mmm! So cute!" Wang Buhui nodded repeatedly and reached out to pinch Wang Jiye's cheek.
Seeing her cautious manner, Wang Peng was amused and whispered, "You were very cute when you were little too."
"Hehe." Wang Buhui laughed, reached out and hugged Wang Peng's neck, and kissed Wang Peng's cheek.
The father and daughter were enjoying a happy time when Li Mengjiao brought up the milk powder.
She took Wang Buhui from Wang Peng and said softly, "Brother, Du Lei just called me. Has the matter been resolved?"
Wang Peng shook his head: "It's almost done, it's fine."
Li Mingzhu said, "Brother Peng, why don't you go for a walk outside? The air on the lawn is very fresh."
Wang Peng nodded, took his phone, and went outside. He arrived on the lawn, greeted Li Longfei, and walked across the grass.
Smelling the fragrance of the grass and contemplating matters at the company, he gradually arrived at the pavilion. He took out his phone and called Hu Mingyue directly.
"Big brother, how's it going over there?" Hu Mingyue asked with a smile.
"It's alright, the hosts are very welcoming." Wang Peng looked at the swimming pool in the distance. "Your favorite swimming pool is here, would you like to come and play?"
"Haha. Take me next time, and we'll go swimming together," Hu Mingyue said casually.
Hearing her relaxed tone, Wang Peng suddenly felt at ease and didn't rush to talk about company matters, instead chatting with her casually.
Hu Mingyue is also a chatterbox; she can chime in on any topic, no matter how far-fetched.
Half an hour later, Hu Mingyue said, "Brother, we've talked enough. Let's get down to business."
"Regarding the suspension of construction at the No. 5 store site, I have already contacted the relevant departments on behalf of the company to coordinate. My mother has also provided me with a lot of help."
Hearing this, Wang Peng felt that things were starting to look promising. Although Hu Juan was usually very low-key, she had a wide network of connections.
"Brother, the other party's reply is that they will hold a meeting to discuss it soon," Hu Mingyue said.
"Okay, I understand." Wang Peng nodded.
He knew that as long as there were meetings and discussions, it would take at least ten days to half a month to get results, and there was no point in rushing it.
Hu Mingyue added, "Wang Meijing and Du Lei are already living together and their relationship is very good. Dong Shishi seems to have completely given up on Du Lei. Her student visa has been approved, and she will probably be heading to England soon."
“I talked to her for a long time, and from what she said, she doesn’t plan to go back to China and will stay in England to develop her career,” Hu Mingyue added.
"Yes, that's great." Wang Peng was very happy. Without Dong Shishi as a hindrance, Du Lei's life would definitely be much easier.
“Mingyue, how about we talk about your marriage?” Wang Peng quickly added, “I’m serious, I’m not joking.”
"Sigh, what's there to talk about?" Hu Mingyue sighed on the phone, her mood suddenly dropping.
Wang Peng said softly, "Mingyue, with such good qualities, so many talented young men would like to get to know you, but you don't like any of them?"
"Brother Peng, if you bring this up again, I'm hanging up," Hu Mingyue said directly.
"Okay, I won't mention it anymore." Wang Peng had a bit of a headache. He knew what Hu Mingyue was thinking, but that idea was impossible to realize.
“Mingyue, there’s a gap between dreams and reality. Sometimes you have to consider reality more,” Wang Peng couldn’t help but say again.
Hu Mingyue remained silent and did not hang up the phone.
After a full two minutes of silence, Wang Peng said somewhat helplessly, "Okay, let's change the subject."
