Sell a portion of her own shares.
This was the only way she could think of to resolve the crisis before her.
As for what Su Rui had said earlier, she had not taken it seriously at all.
She had never placed her hopes on anyone else.
The call was answered quickly.
"Help me assess the value of seven percent of Mingzhu Company's shares. I want to sell them now!"
Hu Guangyi's pupils constricted, and then he could not help wanting to burst into laughter.
Li Ruobing actually wanted to sell the seven percent of shares in her hands!
This was no different from drinking poison to quench thirst!
It might ease the company's financial crisis in the short term, but it would further weaken Li Ruobing's control over the company!
Once she sold that seven percent, Li Ruobing would have only twenty-four percent of Mingzhu Company's shares left.
Once her shares were diluted to a certain extent, she would be kicked out!
She would not even remain a shareholder!
"President Li!" Old Bai grew anxious. He knew very well that, especially under these circumstances, buyers would lower the price based on her urgency to sell. These shares might sell for only around seventy percent of their market value!
"You can't do this!" The shareholders on Li Ruobing's side also panicked.
Meanwhile, the shareholders on Hu Guangyi's side all wore inscrutable smiles.
"Ha ha ha! President Li truly is brilliant and bold!" Hu Guangyi gave her a thumbs-up. "But I have a suggestion. Rather than sell them to someone else, why not sell them directly to me?"
Li Ruobing looked at him with disdain and ignored him.
Selling the shares to scattered buyers was only a temporary measure. As long as the new store could begin operating normally, she was confident she could buy the shares back within three years.
She would still be Mingzhu's Major Shareholder.
But if she sold them to Hu Guangyi, that would be another matter.
He was a greedy wild dog. Once the shares fell into his hands, he would only become more aggressive.
"The shares you wish to sell are valued at fifty-eight million, two hundred and seventy thousand. If you wish to sell them tonight, we can help you find buyers, but you will need to pay a three percent commission!"
Hearing the voice over the phone, Hu Guangyi let out a cold laugh.
He lowered his head, typed out a text message, and sent it.
"I need to see the money before six!" Li Ruobing said.
Hu Guangyi's phone vibrated.
After reading the reply, the smile on his face deepened.
As long as Li Ruobing dared to sell that seven percent of shares, they would ultimately still end up in his hands.
That was the promise made by the person standing behind him.
"President Li, but this... still isn't enough!" Hu Guangyi smiled sinisterly and glanced at the Rolex on his wrist. "President Li, you don't have much time left!"
"Help me dispose of the few cars under my name as well!" Li Ruobing spoke again, saying to the staff member from the appraisal center, "I'll have someone send over the relevant documents shortly."
The secretary took the relevant documents and jogged out of the conference room, heading straight for the appraisal center.
"Heh heh..." Hu Guangyi rubbed his face. Watching Li Ruobing trapped in a difficult situation suddenly gave him a sense of exhilarating satisfaction.
Li Ruobing, so you had this day too!
As for those funds, he was not worried in the slightest.
Someone would arrange for Li Ruobing's shares and real estate to be sold after six.
He wanted both the shares and Li Ruobing's downfall!
"Ah..." Old Bai let out a deep sigh, feeling utterly stifled.
"Just wait..." Hu Guangyi smiled as he removed the watch from his wrist and placed it on the table, as though deliberately reminding Li Ruobing. "President Li, I suggest you pray there won't be traffic near the trading center!"
Li Ruobing leaned sideways in her chair, expressionless, and closed her eyes to rest.
She was somewhat tired...
"Hey! Sir, this is the conference room. You can't come in!"
"Why are you snatching things from me? I called the police!"
A commotion rose in the hallway.
Amid the chaotic footsteps, the conference room doors were suddenly pushed open.
"Pretty lively, huh... Didn't I tell you to wait for me?" Su Rui stepped into the conference room, sweeping his gaze over the many shareholders before finally stopping on Li Ruobing in the main seat. "What's going on? Why are you selling your house and cars?"
He held a document envelope in his hand. Inside were the share certificate and real estate certificate Li Ruobing had just handed to the secretary to take to the trading center.
He casually placed it on the table in front of Li Ruobing.
"Be good. Put it away!"
Little Secretary appeared at the entrance of the conference room in her high heels, her face full of apology. "President Li, he barged right in when he came upstairs. I... I couldn't stop him!"
Li Ruobing raised an eyebrow.
A sudden sense of foreboding rose in Hu Guangyi's heart. He frowned and looked Su Rui up and down.
He did not look like a rich man, but... the way he treated Li Ruobing was somewhat off.
"What do you do? Do you think just anyone can come here?" Hu Guangyi slapped the table, thinking he should give this guy a warning first. "Where did this country bumpkin come from? Get out!"
"From far away, I heard a dog barking. So it was you..." Su Rui smiled brightly, his fingers cracking.
Slap!
Crash!
Two loud noises rang out.
Hu Guangyi felt the world before his eyes twist as his body instantly smashed into a chair and the decorative vase beside it, sending him flying!
One slap!
Hu Guangyi flew two meters!
Three molars flew from his mouth!
A shrill scream that barely sounded human rang out, making everyone present feel their hair stand on end.
No one had expected Su Rui to be so decisive and brutal!
"Y-you... do you know where this is? I... I'm calling the police!" A shareholder supporting Hu Guangyi trembled as he shakily pulled out his phone.
"Is there a problem with teaching you a lesson for treating an investor like that?" The smile on Su Rui's face did not change in the slightest. It was warm and gentle, as though he had not been the one to strike just now. "In the past, one filthy word from your mouth would have cost you your life!"
Silence.
Dead silence.
Hu Guangyi finally came to his senses. His face was swollen high, streaked with blood, his eyes filled with extreme malice, and veins bulged at his temples.
Three bloodied molars lay quietly in his palm.
"Y-you dare hit me! Fuck your mother! I'll make you rot in prison! If I don't kill you, my surname isn't Hu!"
"Heh heh... Have you vented enough?" Su Rui ignored Hu Guangyi's wild-dog barking and turned to Li Ruobing instead.
"What exactly did you come here for?" Li Ruobing asked.
"To vent for you, and incidentally, enjoy the thrill of turning the tables!"
Li Ruobing frowned.
The sound of high heels came from outside again. Unlike before, their owner sounded flustered and excited.
The conference room doors were pushed open once more.
The finance department manager appeared before everyone, so excited that she could barely contain herself.
"P-President Li, the company account just received a transfer. There's... there's two hundred million more! The sender is... SCC Club, Wan Hao!"
It was like a thunderclap exploding.
Hu Guangyi's pupils slowly constricted, his face turning rigid.
Old Bai's eyes widened, and then he began to laugh—laugh loudly!
"Old Hu! Now let's talk about what you just said about me being old and senile!"
