Chapter 1054: Chapter 1053: I Want 1 Billion!

Seeing Zeng Xiaozhang who followed her inside, Lin Shiyan frowned slightly. After all, this was her office, and in this company, aside from Wang Dadong, no one dared to enter her office without her permission.

However, Zeng Xiaozhang was not part of the Shiyan system, so Lin Shiyan did not act out but softly asked, “Manager Zeng, is there something you need?”

Zeng Xiaozhang didn’t answer Lin Shiyan’s question, instead swaggering over to the guest sofa, plopping down with an expression that no longer held the admiration and awe he used to show toward Lin Shiyan.

Zeng Xiaozhang’s action made Lin Shiyan’s face even more unsightly; Zeng Xiaozhang’s behavior utterly disregarded her.

“Manager Zeng, if there’s nothing, please leave, I need to get back to work,” Lin Shiyan said, visibly displeased.

Zeng Xiaozhang continued to sit arrogantly on the sofa, then took out a cigarette, lighted it, and smoked it while crossing his legs.

This action was so similar to Wang Dadong, but seeing Wang Dadong only made Lin Shiyan angry, whereas seeing Zeng Xiaozhang made her deeply disgusted.

“Manager Zeng, if you don’t leave, I’ll have to call security!” Lin Shiyan said coldly, the aura of the ice queen CEO surfacing.

However, Zeng Xiaozhang, who used to fear Lin Shiyan, was now unaffected by her aura. He blew out a smoke ring and said, “President Lin, there seem to be a lot of unfavorable rumors about you circulating in the company lately.”

“What do you mean?” Lin Shiyan’s expression changed slightly.

“I heard that Wang Dadong is supposedly the toyboy of a female executive in the Shiyan Group,” Zeng Xiaozhang said with a smile.

Lin Shiyan snorted coldly, “Whether he’s kept or not is none of my business.”

“If the female executive keeping Wang Dadong is President Lin yourself, wouldn’t that be related?” Zeng Xiaozhang grinned.

As the president and largest shareholder of Shiyan Group, Lin Shiyan’s every move was under close scrutiny. Any of her actions might influence shareholders’ decisions.

That’s how it is with a publicly listed company; no unfavorable information can leak.

If the news that Lin Shiyan was keeping a toyboy was leaked, Shiyan Group would immediately face a massive stock market crisis.

Even if it doesn’t lead to bankruptcy, it would certainly cause huge losses.

All those losses would have to be borne by Lin Shiyan, possibly affecting her position as president.

Thus, Zeng Xiaozhang was confident about what he was going to do next.

“Manager Zeng, you’d better not talk nonsense, otherwise, Shiyan Group’s legal team will make you regret it,” Lin Shiyan said coldly.

“President Lin, whether I’m talking nonsense, you know it well yourself,” Zeng Xiaozhang said, looking like he had Lin Shiyan cornered.

“What do you want?” Lin Shiyan frowned slightly. Judging by Zeng Xiaozhang’s demeanor, he seemed to have some evidence; otherwise, with his status, he wouldn’t dare to challenge her.

“It’s simple, President Lin. I came to you alone for your own good; after all, if this matter is exposed, it would be catastrophic for both you and Shiyan Group,” Zeng Xiaozhang laughed, revealing his terms.

“I want one billion in cash.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Shiyan’s face darkened, she said, “Manager Zeng, your appetite is quite large.”

“Ha, President Lin, don’t be hasty, I’m not finished. Besides one billion in cash, I want five percent of Shiyan Group’s shares,” Zeng Xiaozhang said with a smile.

Six months ago, Shiyan Group’s market value had already reached six billion; after months of development, it has now reached ten billion.

Five percent of shares equals five billion!

This means Zeng Xiaozhang is altogether demanding six billion from Lin Shiyan.

Moreover, with Shiyan Group’s ongoing development, those shares might appreciate in value. Nowadays, Shiyan Group’s sales channels are expanding rapidly, not only having signed a collaboration agreement with Huaxia’s biggest mall, Nuomate, but also partnering with the largest online sales platform.

In the era of the internet, the earnings from an expanded online market would be absolutely impressive.

Therefore, the increase in Shiyan Group’s stock value is almost certain.

Asking for just one billion isn’t smart when steady flow is the real way.

A billion seems like a lot, but it’s far from enough to live a truly luxurious life.

Hearing Zeng Xiaozhang’s terms, Lin Shiyan laughed angrily, “Manager Zeng, do whatever you want, I won’t give you a single penny!”

The smile on Zeng Xiaozhang’s face began to freeze; he never imagined Lin Shiyan would blatantly refuse and even say she wouldn’t give him a single penny!

This was illogical!

Could it be that Lin Shiyan no longer cared about her reputation? Everyone knew that if he exposed the recording, Lin Shiyan would certainly face impeachment from the board.

Not only might she lose her position as president, but it would also have a huge impact on Shiyan Group’s stock market.

What’s more, being quite a public figure in Jiangdu City, if news of her immoral lifestyle broke, her reputation would instantly be destroyed.

Then, the goddess president would fall from her pedestal and become a target of scorn.

“President Lin, you should know what this matter means for you and Shiyan Group. I hope you consider carefully,” Zeng Xiaozhang advised.

“No need to consider. No matter what you do, my decision won’t change,” Lin Shiyan said firmly.

Zeng Xiaozhang and Lin Shiyan locked eyes, hoping to overwhelm her with his presence, but he realized that even though he had leverage on Lin Shiyan, he couldn’t compare to her aura at all.

The goddess president remained composed, whereas he was starting to sweat on his forehead.

No, she must be pretending to be calm; deep down, she must be scared, especially since no public figure wants scandals about them.

“President Lin, we can negotiate the terms…” Zeng Xiaozhang’s aura was noticeably weaker.

However, before he finished speaking, he noticed Lin Shiyan had picked up the phone on her desk, “Security Department? Please send two security guards to my office.”

“Lin Shiyan, are you not afraid at all of me exposing your scandal?” Zeng Xiaozhang was startled once again.

Lin Shiyan completely ignored Zeng Xiaozhang and went back to working at her desk.

“Lin Shiyan, you must be pretending, I don’t believe you truly dare to call security up!” Zeng Xiaozhang still thought Lin Shiyan was pretending.

But, in a few minutes, he would know whether Lin Shiyan was pretending or not.

Two security guards from Shiyan Group came upstairs.

“President Lin, is there anything?” the security asked.

“Throw Manager Zeng out,” Lin Shiyan said blandly.
