My Ceo Husband is Sworn Enemy - Chapter 249
Chapter 249: Chapter 249: So He’s The One Pulling the Strings_1
I could tell that he was obviously aware of much more about the matter, that’s why I reassured him,
“I’m fine, I can handle it.”
Seeing his expression, I guessed that Song Shixiong had perhaps met with an accident, maybe he was no longer alive.
He remained silent for a moment and then pulled me into the lounge, informing me solemnly.
“Someone is trying to bring down the Huaxin Group!”
“What do you mean?”
“Throughout these past six months, the Huaxin Group has been constantly sabotaged. I think Song Shixiong, as the CEO, is under immense pressure. Reportedly, several of his projects have been maliciously overpriced, resulting in them overpaying and ending up losing money instead of making a profit! The lands where the Huaxin Group has recently invested, are all running at a loss…”
Ding Yinuo provided a few examples, which startled me.
I thought carefully.
Half a year ago, the fire at Golden Bay had not yet happened, I do remember that Song Shixiong had invested in several lands at that time.
Gu Yuanzhou and several wealthy businessmen in A City had apparently participated in discussion at that time.
“Yinuo, what are you implying?”
“I’m not implying anything, I’m just sharing what’s going on, and you need to think calmly. Don’t be fooled by Gu Yuanzhou.”
When Ding Yinuo looked at me, his eyes were filled with deep concerns.
Such a gaze always made me want to smile.
“Yinuo, I’m not a kid, could you please stop treating and looking at me like that!”
“Ayun, you’re my fiancée, we’re engaged. I have a lifelong responsibility towards you… I don’t want anything to happen to you!”
Every time he said this, he would gently touch my forehead, like someone stroking a kitten.
His eyes were full of affection… This gaze also made me feel soft inside.
“I can handle it!”
“It’s much more complicated than you think. I know you may not believe everything I’ve said right now. But…I thought I should warn you to be cautious around Gu Yuanzhou.”
Ding Yinuo hesitated to speak, he was not straightforward.
“I know, I will handle it!”
“Hmm, I trust you…”
After talking with Ding Yinuo, due to her impatience, Wu Lijuan looked everywhere for me.
When she saw me coming out with Ding Yinuo, she gave him a deep glare.
I hadn’t told her about my past conflicts with the Ding Family in my previous life.
However, she was aware of the visible competition between us and stayed quiet when she saw that Ding Yinuo and I were close.
After we left Tianjiao Company and were on our way to Zhenyi Company, she asked me.
“How are those from the Ding Family?”
I looked at her and smiled,
“They’re fine, the people from the Ding Family have good characters!”
Wu Lijuan sighed deeply,
“I’d heard that people from the Ding Family can’t be trusted, watch out!”
“Sure, okay!”
I didn’t protest, I knew that understanding a person requires time.
It can’t be proven with just a few sentences.
In fact, Wu Lijuan was probably speaking out of concern, she looked worried, still engrossed in thoughts about the disappearance of Song Shixiong.
Half an hour later, we arrived at the entrance of Zhenyi Company.
As far as I knew, Zhenyi Company wasn’t doing so well recently. The stock price had dropped and they were losing vital clients.
I expected Zhenyi Company to be in a crisis and be in decline.
But the reality was completely different from what I saw.
Several luxury cars were parked in front of Zhenyi Company, there were even a row of flower baskets, celebrating their successful fundraising.
What was Gu Yuanzhou fundraising for now?
With curiosity, I entered the company’s main building.
“Hello, I want to speak to Gu Yuanzhou!”
I brought Wu Lijuan to the reception desk.
The receptionist was someone I didn’t recognize, a new employee.
“Please wait a moment, President Gu is currently in a meeting. Once the meeting is over, I will pass on your message.”
“Okay, Thanks!”
I took Wu Lijuan to the waiting room…
Wu Lijuan was distracted, barely sitting still, she held a cup of tea served by the receptionist, pacing back and forth.
Sighed from time to time, “It’d good if Ayun were still alive. If Ayun were alive, Gu Yuanzhou would definitely help us, Sigh!”
I held the teacup in my hand, lost in thought…
Would it truly be better if the fire had not happened?
If Gu Yuanzhou was with me from the beginning with a certain goal in mind.
Then, even if the fire did not happen, I might still end up facing a divorce.
Gu Yuanzhou probably wouldn’t have helped Song Shixiong.
I didn’t know, I didn’t dare to imagine these scenarios.
“Auntie, you stay here, I’ll go check on the situation!”
After waiting for over an hour, I couldn’t help but stand up intending to check the situation.
“Xiaosong… sigh… Okay, thank you! I really don’t know what else to do.”
By now, I have only left Zhenyi Company a mere month or so.
Most of the staff members were familiar faces, the overall environment and structure of the office hadn’t changed much.
Because I was familiar with everything here, I was able to easily approach the conference room.
Through the window, I saw a man in a black suit leading a high-level business meeting.
It’s a bit extravagant to call it a meeting, there were only six or seven people. But they were all elites of upper-class society, they were all Song Family’s enemies.
Essentially, they were Song Shixiong’s competitors, those who entirely kept their distance from him.
But now, Gu Yuanzhou brought them all together, eagerly discussing something.
The window was slightly opened, standing behind I could somewhat overhear the conversation inside, they were discussing the acquisition of a company.
I approached closer and attentively listened, what I heard left me shocked.
“Now is the time when the Huaxin Group is at its lowest, we can take the plunge, as the stock price is about to crash!”
“That old jerk Song Shixiong, he monopolized A City all these years and fattened himself, it’s about time for his bad luck. Whatever he’s earned earlier, I’ll make him spit it all out!”
“Hehe, I can hardly wait to see the Song Family collapse and the Huaxin go bankrupt. Hahaha!”
A cruel laugh made me shudder.
But what Gu Yuanzhou said next, made my blood run cold.
After several people expressed their opinions, Gu Yuanzhou calmly replied,
“It’s too early to step in, I think, there’s still room for Huaxin’s stocks to fall further. Everyone should be patient and wait a few more days!”
“Okay, President Gu’s words make sense, let’s wait a few more days and then divide up the spoils, hahaha!”
Hearing these words, my back felt icy.
I immediately realized that I shouldn’t have come here, and just as I was about to turn around and leave,
Suddenly the door of the meeting room opened, and Gu Yuanzhou came out. As he raised his head, he saw me.
