Chapter 54 Dazzling Wife
Secretary Li pushed the door and entered the conference room.
It also brought about a two-choice deal proposed by the kidnappers.
That moment.
The huge room was dead silent.
Even the highly professional police team fell silent. The shareholders, led by President Tao, exchanged glances, and then dozens of eyes fell on Shi Tianhong (Shi's father) who was in the center.
The man's brows were furrowed, his hands tightly gripping the corner of the conference table. He shouted to Secretary Li, "Call the kidnappers back and tell them I'll pay any ransom. I want both of our daughters!"
"That's not possible, Mr. Shi! The kidnappers have clearly stated that if one is released, one will be killed. They also said they only give you two hours. If you don't make a choice after two hours, neither of you will survive."
The sound falls.
Shi Tianhong pursed his lips into a slit and his brows became increasingly furrowed, forming the shape of a "川" character.
The police were still monitoring and tracing the calls, but the shareholders could no longer remain silent. Someone stood up and said, "Mr. Shi, this is your family affair. As outsiders, we have no right to interfere."
"But Shi Yin is one of the kidnapped people. She's a leading designer of the new generation. Her Spring Festival collection has brought huge profits to the company. Since this concerns the company's development and future, we shareholders can't just sit back and watch."
Secretary Li: "Do you mean to ask Director Shi to rescue the Second Miss?"
"We should have saved Director Shi!"
"Yu Qing, Director Shi was kidnapped by criminals in a deserted alley while he was trying to get medicine for Director Shi."
"Yu Li, Director Shi is the backbone of the company. The evening gown he designed for Ms. Jin Baili years ago brought Shi into the circle of high-ranking officials and dignitaries. After the New Year, a modified Mao suit he designed immediately shook the market. Shi's stock price has increased more than forty times, and the turnover is almost equal to the entire year before."
"Where's Shi Qinghe? She plagiarized and appropriated other people's drawings, causing the company to be embroiled in a public outcry and nearly destroying the positive image it had spent twenty to thirty years building. She then ordered her lackey Meng Xi to collude with product manager Xie Qiu to secretly replace the drawings and pass off inferior fabrics as high-quality ones, nearly bringing the company down!"
"The opinion of all our shareholders is to keep Director Shi!"
"no!"
Ms. Cheng's (Shi's mother) voice suddenly rang out. The woman pushed open the door, walked around the group of shareholders, and strode towards Shi Tianhong: "Qinghe must not be in any way. She is our daughter, whom we have cherished for 25 years."
"Isn't Shi Yin your daughter?"
"This is different!" Ms. Cheng interrupted the shareholder and turned back to her husband, her eyes red. "If you and I hadn't been so ruthless in sending Qinghe abroad to reflect on her actions, she wouldn't have been kidnapped outside the airport."
"The root cause of this incident is that the company's New Year project was too popular, and people were jealous of it, which led to the disaster. Qinghe is innocent. She has already lost both legs and cannot be hurt again."
"As for Yinyin, she's a healthy person who can jump and run. Even if she wasn't chosen, she might still be able to escape from the kidnappers. But if Qinghe wasn't chosen, Qinghe would really be dead!"
Ten minutes later.
Outside the door.
The shareholders walked along the aisle toward the elevator. Someone was dissatisfied: "I chose Shi Qinghe out of two options. I'm really sick of it."
"Isn't it? Shi Qinghe has repeatedly gotten into serious trouble, putting the company on the brink of disaster several times. Shi Tianhong talks about punishment, but in reality he's always partial to her and helps her get away with it."
"I'm not interested in the Shi family's background. I only care about the company's interests and the money I invested. Anyway, Shi Yin can't die. In the current Shi Design Department, no one except Shi Yin can produce a decent work."
"Shi Tianhong is not worthy of being the chairman of the company. He dotes on his eldest daughter, disregarding the future of the company and the interests of all of us shareholders!"
"When voting for the chairman, Shi Tianhong and Mr. Tao tied for the vote. In the end, Mr. Tao stepped down, saying he had more experience in managing the company and that he believed he could lead the company to a higher level, so he made him the chairman."
"I really regret voting for him."
"I regret it too!"
"Yes, President Tao should have been appointed in the first place!"
The man known as Mr. Tao stood in front of the elevator, the aluminum door reflecting everyone's anxious expressions. He pursed his lips and said, "For the sake of the company, and for all of our shareholders, Shi Yin must not be in any danger."
"Shi Tianhong gave up on her."
"That's because Shi Tianhong and his wife are blind and their hearts are blinded by lard!"
"Boss Tao, do you have any ideas?"
"I remember that many years ago, the second young master of the Han family saved the president who was still running for election at a critical moment. After the president took office, he gave him a guard to protect his home."
"It's said that team is quite outstanding. They are the best of the best, selected from the special forces with rich combat experience. If you can find a connection, please ask Han Er to help. Director Shi should be able to be saved."
President Tao lowered his eyes in thought.
Everyone knows that Han Zhan is the most difficult person to mess with in the Beijing circle.
He is a ruffian.
He has no one to care about, no things to worry about, and he does everything according to his own will. No one can do anything to him. Asking him for help is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
…
A corner of the capital.
A VIP club.
Han Zhan is probably the only husband in the world who can be so casual playing billiards while his wife is kidnapped. Seeing the red ball go in, Lu Cheng walked over and nudged Han Zhan with his elbow: "Shi Yin is still in the hands of the kidnappers, are you really not going to check it out?"
"She can handle it herself."
"How come you don't have the slightest bit of heroic spirit to save the damsel in distress? Imagine you showed up when she was in dire straits, rushing forward to protect her from the attackers. She was deeply moved, hugging you tightly and looking at you lovingly."
Han Zhan: “…”
Reading too many romance novels will turn you into a love-brained person.
Lu Cheng is an example.
fine.
He, Han Zhan, is a rational person with an extremely clear and rational mind.
Han Zhan stood up from the pool table, picked up the cloth at hand, and said while wiping the cue, "I'm afraid I'll hold her back if I go over there."
Lu Cheng: “?”
"She wants to completely replace Shi Qinghe. This is the final step."
"What's the meaning?"
"It's an obvious trap she dug."
"ah?"
"Eat more when you have time and read less romance novels." Han Zhan looked at him like he was stupid, put down his golf club, and went to drink some water. Just then, a phone call came in. The other party said something, and Han Zhan replied with a "hmm," then picked up his coat from the sofa and went out.
"Gone?" Lu Cheng called him.
"Go save my wife."
"Didn't you just say that she can handle it herself and doesn't need you to get in the way?"
"There's money to be made." Han Zhan shook his phone. "Tao Mian called and asked me to lend him the members of the Proud Eagle Elite Team. In exchange, I'll get 7% of the original shares of the Shi Group."
"Holy crap! I remember the Shi's New Year project broke market records, and Shi's stock price soared. These shareholders were able to each contribute some shares at this time, pooling together 7% of the original shares to be used as an exchange to save Shi Yin... Shi Yin is really capable."
Han Zhan smiled.
Of course his wife is very capable.
Making herself an indispensable part of the company and making this group of profit-seeking shareholders spend huge sums of money to save her is not something that an ordinary rich girl can do.
Think of this.
Han Zhan narrowed his black eyes slightly.
He seemed to suddenly realize that he had been deceived by Shi Yin.
She had told him before that she didn't want to be bullied anymore and have her works snatched away, so she wanted to climb up and take Shi Qinghe's place.
Little liar.
She didn't want to replace Shi Qinghe at all, but was aiming for her father Shi Tianhong's position as chairman. As expected of a woman who shared the same marriage certificate with him, she was ambitious, decisive, and dazzling.
