Xie Li looked up, thought for a moment, and said, "It's better than leaving it in the hands of someone with ulterior motives. Besides, if it's destroyed, I can just build another one."
Mr. Xie chuckled to himself; his granddaughter had truly given him so many surprises.
"Alright, you should go back and rest. There's been so much going on lately, you must be tired. The college entrance exam is just around the corner, so good luck to you!"
Xie Li fiddled with the pen holder on the table, his eyes clear: "No rush, there's someone I haven't dealt with yet."
——
Huo Yuntang had been waiting for Xie Li to come to him on his own initiative.
He originally couldn't bear to see Xie Li begging for help, but what she said that day had somewhat angered him.
It would be so much better if girls were gentler and more obedient, just like Xie Ziyuan. Even though she was exceptionally talented in alchemy, she always thought of him first and put him first in everything she did.
However, of course, if Xie Li were like Xie Ziyuan, he probably wouldn't be so preoccupied with her.
"Young Master, Young Master! The Xie family, the Xie family..." The assistant rushed over, looking anxious.
Huo Yuntang frowned. "What happened to the Xie family? Did Xie Sidu come... or did Xie Li come in person?"
The thought that Xie Li had actually come to beg him in person filled him with both pride and heartache. How could he bear to let his beloved girl lower her noble head?
Huo Yuntang jumped up and went to greet him personally.
While adjusting his cuffs, he asked, "How badly has Xie's stock fallen?"
He needed to figure out how to deal with Xie Li's tearful complaints later.
The assistant paused for a moment, then said, "No, it's not that Xie's stock dropped; it's that Xie's stock has... it's gone back up!"
"It's rebounded?" Huo Yuntang couldn't believe it. With Hua's withdrawal of investment, the leak of trade secrets, and the incident involving Xie Li's adoptive parents, the Xie family has recently been beset by internal and external troubles and negative news. How could it possibly rebound?
The assistant whispered, "It seems... it seems a new institution has injected a large sum of money into the Xie family..."
Before Huo Yuntang could even react to the news, someone else rushed in.
"President, something terrible has happened! Someone is aggressively buying up Huo's shares!"
This news was far more serious than the news that Xie's stock had rebounded. Huo Yuntang quickly sat back down at his computer and stared at the market. Sure enough, unidentified individuals had entered the fray and were aggressively buying up Huo's stock, pushing it up by several percentage points.
This is definitely not a good thing.
Sure enough, in the afternoon, the major shareholder began selling shares, which seemed to signal a trend, and soon everyone followed suit and sold off Huo's shares.
In just two days, Huo's stock experienced a surge followed by a sharp drop, with panic selling leading to a barrage of negative news.
Rumors such as "Huo's Enterprises' cash flow has dried up," "Huo's Enterprises has been embezzled internally," and "Huo's Enterprises has been heavily fined for false advertising" have been rampant.
Huo Yuntang stared at the Huo Group's stock, whose market value had evaporated by more than half, and slammed his fist on the desk with a sinister look in his eyes.
He didn't know how long this acquisition battle would last. Since he took office, the Huo Group had always taken an aggressive approach, investing all its funds in new projects. It would be difficult to generate huge returns in a short period of time. He absolutely couldn't win a financial war with the other party.
This mysterious organization is really strange. Because of his appointment and the good performance of online marketing, the stock price of Huo's Enterprises is not cheap. When the other party first started the acquisition, it even pushed the stock price to a high level, far exceeding the normal stock price of Huo's Enterprises. This is why the major shareholder sold shares to cash out, and then the news leaked and caused market panic.
