Chapter 123: Chapter 126: Celebrating Achievements

"Young Master Jin, don’t be too upset. He’s just a country bumpkin. Didn’t he say it? We just need to avoid provoking them moving forward, and there won’t be any issues."

After a moment of silence, it was Zhang Bing who spoke first, comforting the grim-faced Jin Xiaohan.

"Nonsense, are you saying I should just swallow this humiliation?"

Jin Xiaohan glared fiercely at Zhang Bing, his gaze icy cold.

Although he had just humiliatingly yielded to Xiao Yi’s pressure by being totally compliant, that was merely a temporary strategy. For someone like him, who had always had things go his way from childhood, this was something he absolutely couldn’t swallow.

This grudge had to be avenged!

Jin Xiaohan clenched his fists tightly in secret.

Time and again, being publicly humiliated by a nobody country bumpkin, he couldn’t stand this humiliation!

But how should he take revenge?

This time, he couldn’t be so careless. He needed to devise a foolproof plan for his revenge.

He glanced at Zhang Bing, who had lowered his head and didn’t dare to speak any further, knowing now that this guy was utterly petrified by Xiao Yi. Normally, this kid came up with sneaky tricks and little schemes for flirting, but when facing a formidable adversary like Xiao Yi, he had no ground to stand on. Jin Xiaohan didn’t place his hopes on him anymore and began pondering deeply on his own.

Suddenly, an insane idea emerged in his mind from a report he saw a few days ago.

......

"Xiao... Yi, you’re finally back."

As Xiao Yi had just arrived at the gate of the Azure Waterfront villa, he saw the villa’s lights shining brightly and was momentarily startled, wondering what was going on, when he saw Chen Jianguo and Liu Yuan walking up to meet him.

Chen Jianguo had a look of eager enthusiasm. Although there was still a trace of tiredness in his eyes, his overall demeanor was vibrant and triumphant, a stark contrast to his gaunt appearance from the day before.

"Uncle Chen, Secretary Liu, what’s going on? Why are you here?"

Xiao Yi looked at them somewhat astonished.

"We’re here to drink a toast to your success."

Chen Jianguo said with a joy that couldn’t be hidden, radiating from his smile.

"A toast? For what success?"

Xiao Yi looked at Chen Jianguo, bemused. Even if his daughter had been found last night, he didn’t need to be this happy, and besides, didn’t everyone already have dinner together last night?

"Yi, you really are incredible. Do you know, this morning, that old fox Jin Dongming actually came to me, offering to sell his shares to me at 120% of the market price!"

Chen Jianguo looked at Xiao Yi excitedly. He was extremely happy today. The matter with Jin Dongming had been a thorn in his side for the last two or three years. He hadn’t anticipated that the shareholder he had brought in would turn into a ravenous wolf, sneakily pulling strings behind the scenes to become someone who could potentially constrain him, the chairman, and even boldly challenge him at board meetings.

But he had always been unable to resolve the issue, and there’s a saying, "It’s easy to invite the gods; it’s hard to send them away." Regarding Jin Dongming’s problem, he profoundly understood this truth.

And now, Xiao Yi had actually solved it easily, how could this not make him ecstatic?

Although he saw Xiao Yi full of confidence yesterday, he still felt uncertain. In the morning, as he sat in his office still hesitating and considering how to face him, he saw Jin Dongming run over by himself.

"One hundred and twenty percent?"

When Xiao Yi heard Chen Jianguo’s words, he understood what he was happy about. He smiled indifferently, as this was something he had anticipated. After last night’s events, it would be strange if Jin Dongming didn’t willingly hand over the shares. Though handing over the Jianguo Group’s shares was a significant loss, compared to life, that loss was negligible. He would definitely weigh the lesser of two evils.

However, hearing Chen Jianguo mention the price towards the end made his brows furrow again.

"Yes, I didn’t expect him to state such a low price willingly. My original bottom line was to acquire it at one hundred and fifty percent," Chen Jianguo said, delighted.

The price was quite satisfactory to him; it was indeed a great bargain, saving at least three to five billion yuan.

Seeing that Xiao Yi seemed not to fully understand, he explained, "Currently, our stock price has plummeted due to the recent news storms, already approaching or even lower than the actual current market value of the company. So, it’s impossible for him to offer it at the current market price. This price is already a huge bargain for us."

"Oh."

Xiao Yi, not very knowledgeable about company matters, heard Chen Jianguo mention making a profit, and that Jin Dongming had not been too greedy, therefore he also let go of his concerns and said no more.

"Come on, Yi, let’s go out for a few drinks to celebrate," Chen Jianguo said, then warmly patted Xiao Yi’s shoulders, looping his arm around him and walking out.

"This... Alright."

Seeing Chen Jianguo in high spirits and in a very keen mood, Xiao Yi hesitated slightly but did not refuse, directly agreeing.

Jianguo Group’s main business is in real estate, but it’s not limited to that. They are involved in the hotel industry, food sector, and even retail chains, and they are quite substantial. However, compared to their renowned real estate business, these seem somewhat dim and lackluster.

Chen Jianguo took Xiao Yi to dinner at a high-end restaurant operated under Jianguo Group, which was not far from where Xiao Yi lived in Azure Waterfront. It only took about ten minutes by car, and they smoothly arrived at the restaurant’s underground parking lot.

As soon as the car was parked, Secretary Liu immediately hurried to open the door, stepped out, and then opened the doors for Chen Jianguo and Xiao Yi. As a secretary, Liu Yuan was very dutiful in his job.

"Come on, let’s go up," Chen Jianguo said, accustomed to Liu Yuan’s diligence, and feeling nothing unusual, he looped his arm around Xiao Yi’s shoulder and headed towards the elevator.

"Ring..."

However, no sooner had Chen Jianguo spoken than the phone’s ringing urgently began.

Hearing the ringing, Chen Jianguo’s brows instantly furrowed. He was very displeased at being disturbed at this moment, but still, he gave Xiao Yi an apologetic smile, took out his phone, and his frown deepened even more when he saw the caller ID.
