Nan Xiangnan sighed, "That's what I planned, but most of Nan Corporation's funds are invested in Hong Hai Wan, which is now Zuo An Ting Zhi. Elder Brother also asked me to invest some in the overseas market. Before I came to you, I checked with the finance department. If those shareholders sell their shares simultaneously, we might not have enough money to buy them back."
Nan Xiangbei frowned and asked, "How much money do we need?"
"Before the stock's value plummeted, it would have been at least forty billion. But Nan Corporation's stock has started a cliff-like fall, so it's still at least over thirty billion."
Nan Xiangbei asked uncertainly, "Nan Corporation's stock has started a cliff-like fall?"
Nan Xiangnan nodded with a worried expression, "Yes. You haven't had time to check the news yet, have you? A Wall Street financial shark analyzed Nan Corporation's situation shortly after Elder Brother's news broke. With his instigation, the scattered shareholders have started selling."
"Elder Brother has really offended quite a few people. Even a Wall Street financial shark is targeting him now." Nan Xiangbei irritably scratched his head. "I'll figure out the money. You keep an eye on the shareholders who want to sell their shares and buy back as much as you can."
"Alright. You know the situation at the head office better than I do. I'll cooperate with you fully."
After Nan Xiangnan left, Nan Xiangbei took out his laptop, found several phone numbers, and called them one by one. After some funds were recovered, he drove to the bank.
In the evening, Nan Xiangbei, exhausted from a day's work, returned home.
As soon as he sat down, Nan Xiao called.
Nan Xiangbei answered the phone somewhat nervously. He didn't dare to ask what was happening on the other end and could only wait for his boss to speak.
"Xiangbei, it's a complete mess here. A total of 130 bodies, most of them disfigured. We'll have to wait for the DNA results. However, among those whose faces were still recognizable, I didn't identify any of our people. I'll send you the situation here. You immediately post it online to refute the rumors. Then, you send lawyer's letters to those websites that spread the news of my death, suing them for defamation."
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
As soon as Nan Xiao sent the video to Nan Xiangbei, Nan Xiangnan's call came in.
"Boss, I was watching, but something still went wrong. That old bastard Nan Pingyuan sold all the shares his family held!"
Nan Xiao's heart sank. Nan Pingyuan's family held twenty percent of Nan Corporation's shares. If those fell into the hands of competitors, it would be very dangerous.
"Who did they sell to?" Nan Xiao asked, frowning.
"Wu Tianci."
"Wu Tianci from Yunhai City?"
"Yes, him! I heard Xiangbei mutter that this Wu Tianci seems to be working for Lai Wen. He's always been keeping an eye on him. But Lai Wen is already in jail, so what's his motive for acquiring such a large amount of our stock now?"
Nan Xiao spoke as he walked, "Leave Wu Tianci to Xiangbei. You control Nan Pingyuan for now, and we'll discuss it when I get back."
"Nan Pingyuan boarded a flight to Country X right after signing. I only discovered the change in shares after he left."
Nan Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly. "His children are all over there. Don't worry about it; I'll send someone."
"Boss, I'm sorry. I couldn't even handle such a small matter."
"It's not your fault. It happened suddenly, beyond our control. Keep an eye on the other shareholders who might have ill intentions."
"Okay. We've already bought back some shares from other shareholders."
"Don't forget about the scattered individual investors either," Nan Xiao reminded him.
Country M, Windsor Manor
When Luo Wanqi arrived, Lan Yuxi and her two children were listlessly eating in the dining room.
Luo Wanqi glanced at the time.
"It's already ten o'clock. Are you three having breakfast or lunch?"
Lan Yuxi covered her mouth and yawned, "It's breakfast, I suppose. We all overslept today."
Luo Wanqi eyed the three of them suspiciously. "Overslept? But I have a feeling you three haven't slept at all."
"Godmother, um..."
Mu Mu was about to speak when her brother stuffed a steamed bun into her mouth.
Mu Mu glared at Zhao Zhao unhappily, but she still swallowed the bun.
Luo Wanqi quickly scooped a bowl of soup and tried to feed her, but Lan Yuxi grabbed her hand. "Girls need to be more independent. Don't spoil her; let her do it herself."
Luo Wanqi's hand holding the spoon tightened slightly. She was afraid Mu Mu would follow her old path, being spoiled from a young age, and then, once abandoned, the heart-wrenching pain would be unbearable for an ordinary person.
Seeing her mother's not-so-pleasant expression, Mu Mu obediently took the spoon and quickly finished a bowl of soup.
The siblings finished their meal as quickly as possible and then went upstairs hand in hand.
Back in the children's room, Zhao Zhao locked the door and went straight to the computer desk.
Mu Mu pouted and followed him. "Brother, I think Mom doesn't love me anymore."
"She doesn't not love you; she loves you even more!" Zhao Zhao quickly typed a password on the computer. "Promise me, you won't get married when you grow up. I'll support you."
Mu Mu leaned closer. "Then what about you?"
"I won't get married either. I'll just be with you and Mom."
"Okay then, I'll listen to you."
Zhao Zhao glanced at her. "I need to start working. Remember not to make any noise."
"Will Mom and Godmother come knocking on the door?"
"No, Mom is in a bad mood, and Godmother will chat with her for a long time."
"That's true." Mu Mu picked up her pink computer and quickly turned it on.
The siblings sat at the computer desk, their serious expressions not at all like children under four years old.
Zhao Zhao opened a voice-changing software and issued several commands in succession. Mu Mu listened with her small ears for a while, then pouted and softly tapped the keyboard.
Last night, her brother asked her if she wanted to know who her father was.
She said she wanted to know, she wanted to know what kind of bad man would abandon her mother, herself, and her brother.
But when her brother showed her that person's photo, she got angry!
Because he already had another woman by his side.
She didn't know as many words as her brother.
Then her brother told her that the person had been in love with that woman for six years and had been secretly married for three years.
She and her brother were not yet four years old, so he must have gotten involved with her mother while dating another woman. This man was truly scum!
She didn't want him anymore!
Even though he was more handsome than the uncles she knew, she didn't want him!
When Zhao Zhao closed the voice-changing software, Mu Mu knitted her small brows and asked, "He's so bad, why are we still helping him?"
Zhao Zhao's face was solemn, and he spoke like a little adult. "We're not helping him; we're helping Mom. Mom says she doesn't care about his life or death, but she was so worried that she spent all night online asking for information about him."
Mu Mu's mouth widened exaggeratedly. "You dare to spy on Mom!"
Zhao Zhao covered her mouth. "Keep your voice down!"
