Chapter 462: Chapter 271: I Have Become a Part of Your Play_2

"Aunt Wen."

Mei Xiang’s voice interrupted Wen Shulin’s thoughts, she looked at the screen at her, "What’s the matter, Mei Xiang."

"Brother Cheng has told me." Mei Xiang didn’t know how to start, "He said he wants to transfer his shares to you."

Wen Shulin’s expression remained calm, she too was playing a role, "Yes, Mr. Chen had discussed this matter with me before."

"Actually, if... I mean if..." Mei Xiang was a bit incoherent, "If Xingye Zhen really has a problem, would you still want his shares?"

Wen Shulin blinked slightly, Mei Xiang, this child, really has a simple mind, unable to hide anything.

This wasn’t her asking herself; it was clearly her worrying about Chen Cheng’s interests.

It seems, Chen Cheng weighs more in her heart than imagined.

Wen Shulin smiled subtly, and counter-asked: "Mei Xiang, what do you think?"

Mei Xiang hesitated for a moment, whispered: "I think... if Xingye Products really has issues, you might reconsider the acquisition. After all, no one wants to buy a problematic company."

"You’re right,"

Wen Shulin nodded approvingly, "As a businesswoman, I must be responsible for my investment. If Xingye Products has severe hidden troubles, I would indeed reassess the investment risks and might even cancel the acquisition plan."

Mei Xiang’s face showed a slight change; her biggest worry had come true.

"However, if I have Mr. Chen’s promise, I will convince the board of directors to go ahead with the purchase," Wen Shulin’s tone shifted.

Chen Cheng also knew Wen Shulin was playing a role; from the beginning, what she wanted was not Mei Xiang’s Xingye Products, but the mine resources and technology from Brazil.

"Brother Cheng’s promise?" Mei Xiang turned and looked at Chen Cheng.

This situation was not within Chen Cheng and Wen Shulin’s prior planning.

"What promise?" Chen Cheng asked.

"If Xingye Products’ stock prices fluctuate due to this issue, I need you to repurchase the shares you sold me at 1.5 times the price," Wen Shulin stated.

Chen Cheng furrowed his brows slightly, Wen Shulin’s demand was clearly beyond his expectation.

Repurchasing at the original price seemed reasonable but was actually a trap.

If Xingye Products really suffered heavy losses from this event, causing a stock price crash, then his cost of repurchasing shares would be much higher than the current price.

He looked at her in the screen again, unsure of the authenticity of Wen Shulin’s words, just by the look in her eyes, Chen Cheng could not discern.

But Chen Cheng, after all, is Chen Cheng.

1.5 times for him was merely 30 billion, easier than a trip to Japan.

"Alright, I agree," Chen Cheng responded readily.

Wen Shulin was slightly surprised; she did not expect Chen Cheng to agree so readily.

A repurchase at 1.5 times was not a small amount, even for a company like CGG.

She had thought Chen Cheng would bargain or propose some other conditions, but she obviously underestimated Chen Cheng’s determination, and his feelings for Mei Xiang.

She looked at Chen Cheng’s resolute eyes on the screen, thinking to herself: I was just saying it casually, how could you take it seriously?

A bittersweet Wen Shulin, yet smiling, "Good, with Mr. Chen’s promise, I’m relieved."

And Mei Xiang, upon hearing Chen Cheng’s response, was first shocked, then filled with emotion and worry.

She knew, Chen Cheng agreed to Wen Shulin’s harsh conditions for her sake, for the sake of Xingye Products.

"Brother Cheng..." Mei Xiang was trembling, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say.

In her eyes, Chen Cheng was an omnipotent dragon, but repurchasing shares at 1.5 times the price was an astronomical figure to her.

She tightly clutched Chen Cheng’s hand, her cold hand made Chen Cheng’s heart wrench.

"It’s okay, I’m here."

But Mei Xiang’s tears uncontrollably streamed down, "Brother Cheng, I..."

She choked up, unable to utter a complete sentence.

Since childhood, she had been well protected, never experiencing such a major storm. The sudden death of her father, the crisis of the company, to the current forced palace, all these made her feel powerless and scared.

In the end, she was just a girl in her early twenties, who should have been living a carefree life of luxury like Su Liya, but reality pushed her into the cruel and cunning business sea.

"It’s okay, I’m here." Chen Cheng embraced Mei Xiang’s shoulders.

Wen Shulin watched this scene on the screen. She was aware of the relationship between Mei Xiang and Chen Cheng, but that didn’t mean she could witness all this.

"Cough cough cough." Wen Shulin cleared her throat, "I’m going to be busy with something else. I’ll come online after there’s news."

As soon as she finished speaking, the upper-left corner of the screen went dark.

The remaining three screens remained unchanged.

Mei Xiang raised her head from Chen Cheng’s embrace, sniffed her nose, striving not to let her tears continue flowing.

Wen Shulin going offline made her realize her own lapse.

Showing weakness is a major taboo, especially when facing a shrewd businesswoman like Wen Shulin.

And facing Chen Cheng, she was just pure, "Brother Cheng, did I do something wrong just now?"

"Not at all, she’s not a stranger." Chen Cheng comforted with a smile.

"But..."

Mei Xiang was still uneasy, "Will Aunt Wen think I’m incompetent? Not even able to manage my own company properly."

"Not at all, she’s a strong woman, you’re a cute little sister."

Chen Cheng teased: "Moreover, she knows about your situation, and won’t look down on you just because you shed a few tears."
