Invigorated, utterly refreshed!

Old Bai felt as though the stagnant energy that had been building up in his chest had dissipated in an instant!

"Two hundred million, deposited on time!" Su Rui smiled, pulled out a chair, and sat down next to Li Ruobing. He scanned the shareholders again and said, "Everyone, please continue!"

Su Rui's words were polite, but seeing Hu Guangyi's miserable state, several shareholders chose to remain silent.

It wasn't purely out of fear, but because the funds had already arrived; no matter how much they tried to make trouble now, it would be useless.

The outcome of today's battle was decided!

"Two hundred million..." Hu Guangyi was full of disbelief. He really couldn't figure out where Li Ruobing had gotten this money. "Impossible, you must be lying to me. You just don't want to lose the bet..."

One of the shareholders opened the laptop in front of him, typed a few keys on the keyboard, and then his expression became somewhat complicated.

"Brother Hu, it's true."

Hu Guangyi was completely stunned.

With the capital chain reconnected, his previous plans had completely fallen through.

"President Li, I'm impressed!"

Old Bai laughed heartily, then looked at Su Rui with a strange look in his eyes. "This is..."

"A good friend!" Su Rui answered before Li Ruobing could. "The very, very good kind..."

"Understood! Understood!" Old Bai was in a great mood, and his tone became ambiguous.

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly shifted.

"I don't care what kind of bastard you are, you hit me, you're not leaving today!" Hu Guangyi's hopes were dashed, and coupled with being slapped like that, his mindset instantly crumbled a bit. His face was contorted with rage. "I want your two legs!"

Su Rui's expression was normal, but his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a dangerous glint.

This person was really quite clueless...

Su Rui stood up and walked forward again.

"You want to beat him to death here?" Li Ruobing suddenly spoke.

"Someone like him, it's fine if he's beaten to death."

Li Ruobing reached out and grabbed Su Rui's sleeve, pulling him back.

This action, in the eyes of the bystanders, revealed another message.

Their relationship was not simple.

It was very close.

Ultimately, the conflict did not happen in the conference room.

"Fine! You wait, this isn't over today!" Hu Guangyi was stopped. He spat out a bloody phlegm, his expression as dark as if it could drip water.

He wasn't a thug, and it was impossible for him to actually fight Su Rui in a commercial building.

Years of business tactics had long made him accustomed to resolving matters privately!

However, Su Rui's slap was too brutal and too direct.

In broad daylight, he couldn't back down.

With the two hundred million in hand, all the conflicts in this board meeting were easily resolved; the shareholders, with various expressions, found excuses to leave one after another.

Hu Guangyi ultimately didn't call the police.

He knew very well that his injury would at most be classified as Minor Injury Level 3.

With Li Ruobing present, it was impossible for Su Rui to go to jail for a few years over such a minor matter.

And more importantly, he was unsure.

He didn't know Su Rui's background.

The noisy conference room quickly became quiet.

Old Bai looked at Hu Guangyi's pathetic retreating figure and frowned disdainfully, cursing crudely, "That bastard should be slapped like that!"

He had long disliked Hu Guangyi and his group because they were too opportunistic and would shift with the wind. However, this wasn't the main reason; what Old Bai couldn't stand the most was that these idiots had no means of managing a company, yet they always wanted to climb up and be in charge for a couple of days!

A company was a ten-thousand-ton cargo ship sailing on the vast ocean. As the helmsman, you had to have the ability; this Hu Guangyi had no means of operating a company, but he was twice as good at scheming and being malicious. After a long time, he was really damn annoying!

Su Rui smiled when he heard the vigorous cursing.

This Old Bai was the leader of the group of people in the company who sincerely supported Li Ruobing. He could be said to be the second-in-command of Mingzhu, loyal and capable!

Su Rui had a good impression of him and genuinely respected him.

"Uncle Bai," Li Ruobing reminded him.

"Ah... look at my brain," Old Bai suddenly realized, patted his shiny bald head, and laughed heartily, "I forgot there was a lady present... I'll be careful next time, definitely careful!"

"Alright, you two chat! I won't be a third wheel here!"

Old Bai was very tactful. He walked out of the conference room with a smile, leaving the private space to Su Rui and Li Ruobing.

Click!

The conference room door closed again.

In the quiet room, only Su Rui and Li Ruobing remained, facing each other.

"That transfer, the note says Wan Hao from the SCC Club..." Li Ruobing narrowed her eyes, her gaze carrying a hint of scrutiny. She asked, "You... know Wan Hao?"

She naturally knew what kind of person Wan Hao was, and the background of his family. In Tongzhou City, he was considered an absolute peak 'crossing the river strong dragon'.

Adding to that, Su Rui had pressured Lin Jiatao with words last night.

Connecting these two things, Li Ruobing couldn't help but suspect that Su Rui's identity might not be as simple as it appeared on the surface.

She had checked Su Rui's information.

In the first twenty-four years of his life, he had been unremarkable, completely an ordinary person.

But the more she looked, the more abnormal it seemed.

Could an ordinary person know Wan Hao?

Could an ordinary person casually get Wan Hao to give him two hundred million?

Could an ordinary person make Lin Jiatao bow his head with just one phone call?

The mist surrounding this man was growing thicker...

"I just met him this afternoon. We had a great conversation, felt like we'd known each other forever..." Su Rui smiled. He was telling the truth, just hiding some details. "As a friend, isn't it normal to provide a few hundred million in support?"

Heh heh...

Li Ruobing smiled silently.

Only a ghost would believe that.

"Alright, let's not talk about this... come with me!" Su Rui stood up directly, glancing at the wristwatch on his hand. "I've booked dinner at the Ritz-Carlton. There's still an hour and a half... Before that, I'm taking you to do something."

"Hmm?"

"Do you know why you were so passive today?" Su Rui's expression turned serious. "Forced by your own subordinates, and almost selling your house and car?"

Absolute Controlling Stake!

In an instant, these words flashed through Li Ruobing's mind.

"When you hold more than fifty-one percent of the shares, whatever those shareholders say can be treated as nonsense," Su Rui said, enunciating each word clearly. "Mingzhu Company has too many shareholders. I'll help you clear out a batch!"

"Too many shareholders..."

In the flowing traffic, Li Ruobing opened her mouth, unable to suppress the doubt in her heart. "How do you clear them out?"

Clear out a batch.

These words themselves carried a chilling implication.

Coupled with Su Rui's previous violent methods, for a moment, Li Ruobing couldn't help but imagine some bloody scenes.

"Don't worry, I won't use such low-level and dangerous methods." Su Rui smiled. He knew exactly what Li Ruobing was thinking, but deliberately kept her in suspense, asking, "Did you get the money I asked you to withdraw?"

"Three million, what can that do?"

"It can buy you twenty percent of Mingzhu Company's shares!" Su Rui said casually.

Li Ruobing's expression was strange.

How was that possible?

Earlier in the conference room, her mere seven percent stake could sell for tens of millions; but now Su Rui was saying that three million could buy twenty percent of the shares!

"Sometimes, the value of equity isn't measured solely by money; in life, there are always some things more important than money," Su Rui said. "When you grasp a person's weakness and completely understand their personality, you'll know that it's very simple to bring someone down."

The vehicle slowly drove into a villa area.

Li Ruobing recognized it as the residence of Li Sicheng, a shareholder of Mingzhu Company.

He held five percent of Mingzhu Company's shares.

He belonged to the Hu Guangyi faction.

"Alright, wait for me here," Su Rui instructed, taking a black briefcase from the car's storage compartment.

"I'll go up with you."

"No need!" Su Rui shook his head and refused. "With you present, there are many things I can't do conveniently; many things I can't say conveniently."

Su Rui didn't want too many of his trump cards exposed to the public eye too early; maintaining a bit of mystery would make others regard him with awe... and interest.

Just like Li Ruobing, although they had been intimate once; Su Rui didn't think that from then on, she would be completely obedient to him.

Relationships between men and women without emotional connection and time to build intimacy are ultimately fragile.

To conquer a strong-willed woman like Li Ruobing, he had to appear even more dominant and mysterious than her.

Wan Hao's two hundred million was just the beginning.
