Chapter 659: 0649 What is courage? She doesn’t have it Chapter 659: 0649 What is courage? She doesn’t have it Ye Zhichen nodded and patted her chest, boasting, “That’s right, you can order whatever you want for lunch, my treat!”
Su Ran looked at her spirited demeanor and couldn’t help but smile.
“Order whatever I want? Aren’t you afraid I’ll eat you into bankruptcy?”
Ye Zhichen lifted her chin, giving her a “look down on who?” expression.
“With your tiny appetite, go ahead and eat, even if the sky falls, I’ll support it!”
Su Ran chuckled, and at that moment, Ye Zhichen also saw what was on her computer screen.
“What are you looking at? Hm? Isn’t that Chongguang’s stock chart?”
Su Ran nodded, confirming her question.
Ye Zhichen looked at her with confusion, “Why are you looking at Chongguang’s stock market trends? Are you…”
She seemed to guess something, her eyes suddenly widened in surprise.
“You’re planning to acquire Chongguang?”
Su Ran curved her lips slightly and glanced at the time.
“It’s not really an acquisition.”
“Hm?” Ye Zhichen didn’t understand.
“At most… take advantage of the situation, maybe scoop up some shares for fun?”
Ye Zhichen couldn’t help but pull a face, buying shares just for fun?
How is that different from acquiring Chongguang?
“I thought you’d be thinking about how to take over Enrich, given everyone on the internet is waiting for you to clean up that family!”
Su Ran looked at her watch indifferently, and then said, “Why would I think about acquiring Enrich? Enrich is already mine!”
Ye Zhichen looked at her surprised and exclaimed,
“It’s already yours? When did you make your move?”
She had been following the grudge between Xiao Ran and the Su Family closely, so how had she missed the news that Su Ran had made her move?
Besides, such a big matter, shouldn’t there have been some reaction from the Su Family?
“I didn’t lift a finger.”
At her words, Ye Zhichen was a bit puzzled.
“Not you? Then who could it be… ah, your significant other?”
She paused momentarily at the end and quickly came to the realization.
A faint smile appeared on Su Ran’s lips, “Mhm.”
Seeing her nod, Ye Zhichen blinked and gave her a meaningful look.
Su Ran, seeing her silent, looked up to meet a pair of chillingly amused eyes.
Feeling weird from being stared at, she couldn’t help but say,
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
Ye Zhichen’s eyebrows slightly lifted, her smile undiminished.
“Having a man to back you up really is different, you’re glowing.”
“Don’t you have one too?”
Ye Zhichen’s smile dimmed a bit, “I’ll pass on that, and besides, not everyone is as attentive and detailed as your significant other.
But back to the point, why are you buying up Chongguang’s shares?”
Acquiring Chongguang’s shares wasn’t a big deal for Qianran International now.
However, Chongguang was an entertainment company, while Qianran International focused on the fashion industry. Though there was some relevance, they were ultimately different fields.
She didn’t believe Xiao Ran would be thinking about branching into the entertainment industry while establishing a new brand.
Su Ran didn’t reply. Instead, she intently watched the time on her watch. When the hands pointed to twelve o’clock, she stretched her hand to the internal line phone and pressed the dial button.
The call was picked up almost instantaneously, and a respectful yet surprised voice came through.
Su Ran acknowledged, then commanded, “Acquire all of Chongguang’s shares with full effort!”
The person on the other end didn’t question, but respectfully agreed and relayed the order.
“Quick, go all out and acquire Chongguang’s shares!”
The Investment Department, upon hearing the order, immediately sprang into action. They never questioned Su Ran’s decisions before, and they certainly wouldn’t now.
Even though they didn’t understand why President Su would want to acquire an entertainment company.
But she was fully capable of turning decay into magic!
And what President Su feared the least was cleaning up a mess!
Besides, could Chongguang really be considered a mess?
Ye Zhichen blinked, her eyes sparkling as she watched Su Ran issuing commands.
Commanding like thunder, decisive in execution–a natural-born leader!
Her Xiao Ran, so cool!
After giving her instructions, Su Ran looked up to see Ye Zhichen staring at her unblinkingly.
She smiled and asked, “What’s up?”
Ye Zhichen shook her head, “You haven’t told me why you’re buying Chongguang’s stocks.”
Su Ran raised an eyebrow, her tone very casual.
“Don’t you want to expand Zisu? Although Chongguang’s stocks are dismal at the moment, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and there are still benefits to be found. Here, a gift for you!”
Ye Zhichen looked at her in disbelief, “You acquired Chongguang’s stocks for me?”
Su Ran’s lips curled into a smile, “Who said it was for you? It’s for Zisu. After all, I am still the deputy…”
“Ahh… Xiao Ran, you truly are my Lucky Star; I absolutely adore you!”
Before Su Ran could finish speaking, Ye Zhichen had already excitedly lunged into her arms, hugging her and jumping up and down, before finally planting a firm kiss on her face.
Su Ran let her hug her while also wrapping an arm around her waist.
“Now you realize you love me?”
“No, my love for you is the same as ever. Xiao Ran, why don’t you consider the suggestion I made before?”
Su Ran looked at her, “What suggestion?”
Ye Zhichen still clung to her excitedly, while taking the chance to be a little cheeky.
“You said with how formidable you are, what do you need a man for? Men will only slow down your sword-drawing. How about you dump Fu Qiyuan, and I dump Chi Mu, then you take me in? I’ll make the bed, cook, and warm your bed for you?”
Su Ran looked at her with an amused expression, “If you have the guts to say that to Fu Qiyuan, I have no objections!”
Ye Zhichen pouted. Guts, what are those?
Seeing her cowardly look, Su Ran couldn’t help but smile, “Let’s go.”
After Su Xinyan and Wen Peipei returned, the whole Su Family was in dead silence!
It was unknown how much time had passed before Wen Peipei, with a stern face, asked:
“Tell me, what’s the situation with the company now?”
Su Hongde glanced at her, his face looking very ugly.
“All the investors have pulled out, production lines can no longer proceed, all storefronts on the market have been shut down. Apart from those under our own name, other malls are asking to break the lease, and just in penalties, Enrich has racked up several billion in debt. What’s more, we may be facing lawsuits for plagiarism and theft of trade secrets. The company’s shareholders are demanding an extraordinary general meeting and are forcibly requesting…”
Wen Peipei’s heart tightened, and she asked, controlling her temper:
Su Hongde gritted his teeth before saying:
“They’re demanding to remove you as the acting Chairwoman and me as the CEO.”
Wen Peipei’s nerves, taut since coming from Y country, finally snapped, and she descended into collapse.
“Remove my position? Who dares? What are they worth!”
Su Hongde’s face turned pale, his expression one of despair.
“It’s the board’s decision. I heard that at tomorrow’s general meeting, that mysterious shareholder who acquired Enrich’s shares will also appear. Mom, we can’t save Enrich. After tomorrow, Enrich will no longer bear the Su surname!”
“Can’t save it? How can we not save it?!”
Wen Peipei swept everything from the table onto the floor in one motion, her face white as a sheet!
“Who says Enrich won’t bear the Su surname? Who says so?! Enrich belongs to the Su Family; it can only belong to the Su Family. It’s just facing temporary difficulties; there must be another way, there has to be another way!”
