What’s that?” Wang Dadong showed a puzzled expression.
The Female CEO smiled gently, then pointed with her beautiful fingers to the scale at her feet, revealing an “you-know-what-I-mean” expression.
Seeing the scale, Wang Dadong suddenly understood and his eyes widened, “Damn, boss, why aren’t you playing by the rules?
Shouldn’t this be the time for a passionate kiss?”
“Uh, dear wife, could you be less fierce?” Wang Dadong pleaded weakly.
Just a moment ago, she had the demeanor of a docile wife, but in the blink of an eye, she transformed into a fierce tigress, even wanting him to kneel on the scale.
That was just too unscientific.
“Wang Dadong, you still know to come back?
Do you even care about this house anymore?
Since you dare not to call me for a month, then you might as well never come back!” The Female CEO stood up from the sofa, instantly shredding her gentle façade, and pointed at Wang Dadong’s head as she scolded fiercely.
Seeing the Female CEO suddenly go off, Wang Dadong’s face twitched frantically.
Damn, he really did understand the character of this tigress at home.
Just hear me out,” he said.
What’s there to explain?
Don’t tell me you were off on another police mission!” the Female CEO said angrily.
“Dear wife, I really was on a mission.
If you don’t believe me, you can call Liu Tong, she can vouch for me.” Wang Dadong hadn’t thought of an excuse yet but the Female CEO had inadvertently given him one.
The Female CEO scoffed, “Didn’t you go back to your hometown?
How did it get connected with the police again?”
“Oh, I did go back home, and I was supposed to come back sooner, but that dummy policewoman insisted on dragging me to a mission, claiming that a group of people were in dire straits and desperately needed my help.
Think about it, as an idealistic, ambitious, honest, and brave young man, how could I ignore the people in need?” Wang Dadong said with feigned outspokenness.
“Keep making it up,” the Female CEO said coldly, arms crossed as she stared at Wang Dadong.
“Dear wife, you have to believe me, I really am not lying to you, shall I call Liu Tong right now?” Seeing the Female CEO didn’t believe him, Wang Dadong was sweating profusely.
Then why did Liu Tong tell me she hasn’t seen you when I called her earlier?” the Female CEO asked darkly.
At this, Wang Dadong was dumbfounded.
Damn, he had forgotten the Female CEO had the policewoman’s phone number.
Probably, the policewoman denied seeing him to avoid a misunderstanding by the Female CEO.
“Alright, dear wife, since it’s come to this, I can only tell the truth,” Wang Dadong suddenly declared as if he had made a significant decision.
The Female CEO didn’t speak, just coldly watched Wang Dadong, seemingly waiting for his response.
“Dear wife, the truth is I had come back earlier, but I had been keeping myself hidden in order to help you solve a big problem!”
At this, the Female CEO’s expression changed slightly, and after a long pause, she asked incredulously, “Could it be that the evidence was placed on my desk by you?”
Wang Dadong nodded seriously, “Dear wife, you always say that I don’t understand how to share the company’s burdens, and I’ve realized that since I am your husband, I can’t let you shoulder such a big company alone.
But since I’m just a security guard and can’t really help you, the only thing I could do was to act secretly and do whatever I could.”
The Female CEO remained skeptical, questioning, “So tell me, what was in the box?”
“A red USB drive, along with some documents,” Wang Dadong answered without hesitation.
The Female CEO was momentarily stunned when she heard this, and the look she gave Wang Dadong no longer contained any anger but was filled with relief and emotion.
It turned out that Wang Dadong had disappeared for so long because he had gone to gather evidence for her.
During the days Wang Dadong was away, a revolutionary change had occurred at Shiyan Group.
First, the head of production, Zhu Wu Ren, was dismissed from his position; second, the company’s vice president, Lu Feng, was imprisoned for abuse of power and embezzlement of public funds.
Of course, that was not the biggest change.
The biggest change was that one of Shiyan Group’s major shareholders, Lu Yuanyang, was forced to divest his shares.
Actually, the Female CEO’s repeated tolerance towards Lu Feng was not because she was unaware of his actions, nor because she was afraid of his uncle, Lu Yuanyang.
With the Female CEO’s decisive and swift nature, she would rather decisively solve the issue at the cost of parting with her right hand than allow the detrimental elements to remain in the company.
The reason she had not acted against Lu Feng and even let him become the vice president was because she was not just aiming to take down a head of production; her real target was the second-largest shareholder of the company, Lu Yuanyang!
Lu Yuanyang, who held 18.7 percent of the company’s shares, was the largest shareholder after Lin Shiyan, aside from her own holdings.
After all, although the Lin Family owned sixty percent of the shares in Shiyan Group, not all of this sixty percent belonged to Lin Shiyan alone.
Of this sixty percent, Shiyan Group’s former CEO, Lin Tian, owned ten percent, Lin Shir owned five percent, and another twenty percent belonged to various collateral relations of the Lin Family.
Therefore, Lin Shiyan only held twenty-five percent of Shiyan Group’s shares.
Lu Yuanyang owned only six percent fewer shares than Lin Shiyan, which was also the reason why Lu Yuanyang could be so assertive in front of Lin Shiyan.
In the last couple of years, Lu Yuanyang had been secretly having his relatives and friends purchase shares of Shiyan Group; once his shareholdings exceeded those of the Lin Family, Shiyan Group would no longer belong to Lin Shiyan.
Of course, this situation was generally unlikely to happen.
After all, with sixty percent of the shares in the hands of the Lin Family, in dire circumstances, Lin Tian and Lin Shir could directly transfer their fifteen percent of shares to Lin Shiyan, elevating her personal shareholding to forty percent!
Combined with the shares held by the Lin Family’s collateral relations, Lu Yuanyang’s shares could never surpass Lin Shiyan’s.
But this was all under normal circumstances.
The fear, though, was that if the collateral relations of the Lin Family could not resist the temptation and transferred their shares to Lu Yuanyang, then Lu Yuanyang’s shareholding might indeed surpass Lin Shiyan’s.
These collateral relatives of the Lin Family held shares that generally did not exceed five percent, usually around one or two percent, and even as little as 0.5 percent.
These shares were Lin Tian’s contribution to the Lin Family after his successful entrepreneurship.
However, it was these contributions that had planted a time bomb in Shiyan Group.
With such minimal shares, they clearly understood they could never become the helmsmen of Shiyan Group; to them, shares were essentially just money.
Under normal circumstances, they naturally would not transfer their shares, but what if someone offered them double or even triple the money?
