Chapter 332: Chapter 332 I Am Your Confidence

Ning Bingcai’s words had made the entire conference room fall silent.

Clearly, everything had been prepared in advance.

The other party did not raise the price.

Nor did they seize the opportunity to transfer.

But their real objective turned out to be that plot of land in the western suburbs.

"That land was originally intended for building a new warehouse."

Ning Mengyao furrowed her brows, looking at the contract on the table.

She clearly remembered that the land was a reserve area of over a thousand acres.

At the beginning of this year, there had been plans to build a storage and logistics park there.

Only because the road construction had not been completed as scheduled was it put on hold.

"Exactly, Mr. Ning truly has an eye for detail. The market value of that dilapidated plot is only about 3.5 billion, roughly equal to the stocks we estimated in our hands. Since the company won’t use it for now, it might as well be directly swapped for the stocks."

Ning Bingcai wore a radiant smile.

This move was something neither Ning Mengyao nor Lin Fan had anticipated.

The two exchanged glances.

They felt there was something unusual about it, yet they could not pinpoint any clues.

"Who would have thought the stingy hen also had a time to pluck its feathers, using 3.6 billion in stocks for a plot valued at 3.5 billion—did the sun rise from the west today?"

Lin Fan squinted his eyes, sensing the aroma of a conspiracy.

But what it was, he could not specify.

"You know nothing. This is called magnanimity, and I won’t hide it from you, indeed someone has taken an interest in this land. I plan to use the land to enter into a partnership with them, marking a new beginning for my career. Now that everything is out in the open, do you still hesitate?"

Ning Bingcai looked straightforward and outspoken.

It was unusually abnormal.

Although Ning Mengyao was quite satisfied with the stock swap,

She still did not dare to make a decision lightly.

For now, all she could do was stall.

"Let’s do this. It’s getting quite late today, and I’d like to have legal review the regulations related to stock swapping, as normal risk avoidance. I believe everyone can understand. If all is well, we’ll sign the contract first thing tomorrow morning."

"Ah, just now I was telling them how the Ning Family produced a decisive and strong-willed woman, but now it seems, that’s all there is to it, a bit too petty for big responsibilities."

Ning Bingcai suddenly felt somewhat irritated.

But he stood up, nonetheless.

"Then we’ll come back first thing tomorrow morning. I hope you won’t disappoint us by then. And let me say it clearly now, I have put in both effort and hardship in the Ning Group over the years. If you delay my son’s second chance in his career, don’t blame me for causing trouble and making this CEO seat uneasy for you."

Having said this, Ning Bingcai walked toward the exit.

The remaining shareholders didn’t say anything either.

Instead, they followed him out one after another.

"What do you think about this?"

It was only when the conference room was left with Ning Mengyao and Lin Fan.

That she finally couldn’t resist asking.

"There’s a monster in abnormal conditions. Ning Bing, stingy as he is, how could he be so generous? I don’t know what perfect strategy he’s playing."

Lin Fan leaned on the chair.

He was not versed in the art of business war, but he understood the human heart.

Just by the other party’s impatience,

This matter was absolutely not ordinary.

Moreover, with the involvement of East Asia Group that had a samurai background,

This matter was not likely to be small.

"So, what do you say, should I agree to the swap or not?"

Ning Mengyao also had a bad premonition,

But the conditions offered were truly difficult to refuse.

To use an idle plot of land to completely take control of the entire company,

And to get rid of this troublesome character.

This was simply like removing a tumor.

"Just decide according to your own thoughts, he’s a person who won’t cause a stir in heaven, so even if something really happens, you have me to cover for you. I am your greatest support,"

Lin Fan naturally felt Ning Mengyao’s expectation.

At present, he also could not discern the other party’s intentions.

Thus, they could only tentatively accept it for now.

Lin Fan’s words instantly melted Ning Mengyao’s heart.

Those slightly domineering yet warm words were definitely more precious than the three words "I love you."

Yet she knew that at such a moment, she could not show any response.

Otherwise, how could she let Lin Fan leave her with peace of mind?

"Don’t forget, you are also a shareholder, you are also protecting your own interests,"

With a heavy heart, Ning Mengyao uttered these slightly hurtful words.

She knew she should not provoke Lin Fan.

Yet it was the only way.

"If I remember correctly, this stake was something you forced into my hands,"

Lin Fan looked at Ning Mengyao, who was avoiding his gaze.

Her change was too sudden.

"It was for your own good. Nowadays, everyone says, love always changes, but money never betrays one. If we were to divorce one day, at least I wouldn’t have treated you unfairly,"

Ning Mengyao struggled to maintain her expression.

A forced smile appeared on her face.

"Why bring up divorce all of a sudden?"

Lin Fan stared at Ning Mengyao’s face.

Just a few days ago on Evil Island, they were so deeply in love.

How could it be that upon returning to Jiangning, divorce is suddenly on the table?

"I was just making a comparison,"

Ning Mengyao organized some documents, stood up, and walked out.

She must get away from Lin Fan’s gaze as soon as possible.

Fearing he might catch the pain on her face.

After all, even if it really ended in divorce,

she wouldn’t find anyone else.

Because there would be no one who could compare to him.

"Do you want to go home together after work?"

Lin Fan stood up and followed Ning Mengyao out of the conference room.

He didn’t believe he couldn’t figure out what was going on.

"No need, I still have to work overtime with the legal department. You go ahead. You’ve been away from Jiangning for so long, you should catch up with your friends. Men need their own social circles,"

Handing the documents to her secretary, Ning Mengyao walked towards her office without looking back.

"Alright, you’re right. I’ll go ahead then,"

Lin Fan, struck by a thought, turned and entered the elevator.

While Ning Mengyao wasn’t at home, he could also go and ask Xu Zhi Rou.

Just what happened on that ship?

"Mr. Ning, since you’re working late, should I order some food for you?"

The secretary hurriedly followed into Ning Mengyao’s office.

"No need, I’ll rest a bit and then leave,"

Ning Mengyao shook her head.

She was just making excuses to avoid being alone with Lin Fan.

Sitting in her chair, her eyes brimmed with aggrieved tears.

Somehow, she had grown accustomed to relying on his presence.

Just like how, when Ning Bingcai caused trouble earlier, Lin Fan was the first person that came to mind.

With him around, she felt considerably more confident.

She thought she had finally found a lifelong support,

only to have so many obstacles suddenly appear on the road.

And each one came from a family she could not look up to.

She had no reason to cling to Lin Fan.

After all, he was a dragon destined to soar skyward,

and her pool of water was no place for him to dwell.

After resting for more than ten minutes, she wiped her tears and stood up.

It was also time for her to go home.
