Meanwhile, Jiang Yue was having the time of her life.
She was currently telling Wang Minghua about what had transpired at the venue a while ago.
Watching her cousin's funny expressions was making her laugh her head off.
"You... Tell me, why do you have that kind of funny face? Hmp?" She asked after Wang Minghua made another funny expression.
"First, tThis is not a funny face," he said while holding his face up. "This is what we call a handsome face, a face that looks like a million dollars... Second, Little Yue, you just told me the most satisfying story of my life, how do you expect me to react?"
"Seriously, do you want me to act like a piece of wood?" He added before rolling his eyes.
"Pfft...."
"Okay... you should stop laughing and tell me what happened to Wu Minxia after that."
"Well... I signed the document and did my end of the deal."
"So? Did she lose?
"Yep... She lost... and horribly."
"And that's it? Nothing else? You didn't slap her? How about that grandfather of hers? Did you at least stomp on his feet or something?" He asked as his thoughts started to explore the things that he would have done to the Wu Family if he had been in Jiang Yue's shoes.
"Well... Where's the fun in that? I mean... I should do something worse."
"Like?"
"Like taking over their company."
Jiang Yue's words immediately made Wang Minghua speechless. Taking over the Wu Conglomerate?
"Are... Are you joking?" He asked, making sure that he had heard the right thing.
Jiang Yue did not answer her cousin. However, the evil glint in her eyes said it all.
"How? I mean you won... five percent? How are you going to convince the other shareholders to sell their shares to you?"
Still, Jiang Yue did not answer him. She squinted her eyes at her cousin as her mouth curled into a beautiful smirk.
"What? Tell me... Are you going to kill me from too much anticipation?" He added. He knew that Jiang Yue was a genius but he had never viewed her as someone so courageous and ambitious.
Who would dare take over one of the biggest family companies in the country?
"I already took some shares from the other shareholders even before this summit started."
Wang Minghua's eyes instantly widened as if he couldn't believe the words that he had just heard.
Then after a few seconds, his eyes lit up as realization dawned oninto him.
"You... did not do something illegal right?"
"Of course not... I mean... I just kindly asked them for their shares. No threats or violence whatsoever." She answered. This was the reason why their grandfather decided to make her an heir alongside her cousin.
Her cousin's personality was somewhat on the brighter side. And her grandfather knew this.
Sometimes, Jiang Yue could not help but admire her grandfather's wisdom. Her grandfather must have predicted that Jiang Yue would grow into someone like this.
Once again, Wang Minghua narrowed his eyes at her. Why did it seem like half of the words that came out of Jiang Yue's mouth were not true?
"What did you do?" He asked suspicion laced his voice. He had seen how skillful Jiang Yue was. He knew that she could easily use her skills to her advantage and use it against someone.
"Okay... you got me. But it was just a little threat. And Imade sure to clean up my mess. Don't worry. They can't hurt me." She answered confidently.
"Little Yue... we are talking about your safety here... You told me you wouldn't will not do something illegal. What if the military finds out about this?"
"And what do you want me to do? Sit back and watch as the Wu Family ruins our family? They did not pursue our company because uncle agreed to marry that woman. But what do you think would have happened if grandfather... If they succeeded in poisoning grandfather?"
"Minghua, I'd rather have the military on my back chasing me than watch the Wu Family ruin us. I cannot let that happen. No one is allowed to touch my family and get away with it!" She declared, her gaze unwavering.
Wang Minghua stared at her intently. He somewhat understood Jiang Yue's reasoning. However, he really did not like it when Jiang Yue did something that could possibly put her in any sort of danger.
He let out a sigh. "What can I do to help you?"
"I want you to manage the Wu Conglomerate." She answered, her face serious.
"Manage? Are you seriously going to take over the company? How about Old Man Wu? I'm sure he won't just let you do this."
"Old Man Wu??? Well... the right question should be... Will he have the energy to deal with me after I am done with him?" She said while giving her cousin a childish grin.
"That is, if he survives this storm." She added
Deal with her? Would he have the time to deal with her after this summit?
That is the million dollar question.
Or is it?
Jiang Yue laughed inwardly while thinking of the things that she had planned for the Wu Family.
