He had signed it…
Elder Qi’s expression changed dramatically, his hands trembling.
Si Fuqing had actually managed to secure the investment from RS Group!
Together, he and Pei Xu owned a hefty 30% of the shares, all of which would now be transferred to Pei Yan, making him the sole authority in the Pei Corporation.
“Alright, the matter is resolved. I’m heading back to work,” Si Fuqing stood up.
“There’s a saying about the fearless calf, but remember—”
She glanced at Pei Xu and Elder Qi, smiling faintly, “—a grown bull still fears the wolf.”
With these words, Elder Qi’s breathing became labored, his eyes rolling back in shock.
“Oh, right, I was just kidding,” Si Fuqing turned back, her eyebrows raised. “The
Zuo family did give me 2 billion, but I’ve already donated it.”
Pei Xu snapped back to reality, erupting in fury, “You!”
Si Fuqing had already walked away, leaving only her retreating figure behind.
Pei Xu, sweating profusely, clenched his fists tightly.
He had lost, and not just any loss, but a complete forfeit of his shares.
He had dared to sign because securing RS Group’s investment seemed impossible.
But how did Si Fuqing manage to secure it with just a phone call?
Had the Duke ofMuston lost his mind?
How could the Pei family ever catch RS Group’s attention?
Pei Xu knew his doubts were futile now; he had been officially ousted from the Pei Corporation.
The shareholders who hadn’t signed yet breathed a sigh of relief, though they remained uneasy.
“Miss Si!” Pei Yan chased after her, too excited to articulate properly. “Miss Si, the RS investment… how can I ever repay you?”
With RS’s investment, the Pei family could undoubtedly become a powerhouse in the Sijiu City elite circle within a year.
This was a leap of a century in the Pei family’s development.
“Mutual benefit,” Si Fuqing replied, arms crossed. “I’ll need some medicines from time to time, which you’ll have to manufacture.”
“No problem!” Pei Yan agreed instantly. “And about the 30% shares, I won’t take them. I’ll transfer them all to you!”
As a businessman, he understood the value of long-term cooperation.
“Mhmm, don’t follow me,” Si Fuqing said as she descended the stairs. “I should make a call, or he’ll get anxious.”
She exited the Pei Corporation building and redialed the earlier phone number.
The call was quickly answered by someone evidently waiting on the other end.
“Hello?” Si Fuqing leaned against the wall, changing her voice to a male tone. “Duke Raphael Muston, is there anything else you wish to discuss with me?” There was a moment of silence on the other end.
“Who are you, really?” Raphael’s voice squeezed through clenched teeth. “How did you know about the time I was chased by a goose at three and fell into a cellar? Or when I was six and got carried away by an eagle while practicing archery?”
He was in his office when his personal phone unexpectedly rang.
Expecting another matchmaking call, he answered without asking who it was,
fifteen, with uncanny accuracy.
Yet, he had no recollection of ever sharing these incidents!
Was this some ghostly prank by his fifth senior brother?
Even if it was a ghost, he’d have preferred a female one.
He had been resisting arranged dates, but after being single for so long, even his dog seemed more attractive.
“Duke, I am at a loss for how to thank you,” Si Fuqing replied earnestly. “There’s a dating show in Great Xia called ‘Men and Women Match,’ I can get you a ticket.”
Seems her sixth senior brother was unaware of his poor tolerance for alcohol.
Nor did he remember spilling his secrets while drunk.
“Do I look like I need your help for that?” Raphael inhaled deeply, agitated.
People were lining up to give him flowers every day.
“You’re in Great Xia, right? Wait for me,” Raphael sneered. “Once I sort my affairs, I’ll come and deal with you!”
“Sure,” Si Fuqing’s eyebrows lifted playfully. “I’ll be in Great Xia, not going anywhere. Wait for you to come. If you can find me, that is. You can’t even crack my phone number.”
“Fine, challenge accepted. With so much information, I will find you. The Pei family’s network isn’t that vast. Don’t let me catch you, or I’ll skin you alive!” Raphael’s voice grew ominous.
“I’m looking forward to it,” Si Fuqing responded calmly. “I’ll wait for your arrival in Great Xia. Let’s meet then.”
Raphael grunted softly and hung up the phone..
