Chapter 256 - Takeover (4)

Xie Yuansheng was sitting in his office twirling a pen around his fingers. He looked at Feng Xinying who was sleeping on the sofa. Xie Shengjun had left and was on his way to the stock exchange. 

When he looked at the screen, he took a deep breath and stood up. After switching it off, he collected his coat from the chair and covered Feng Xinying with it before heading out. 

The secretary had been refreshing his screen, but not a single share he could buy at the price they had anticipated. What happened? Did he miss something? 

The fact was that after Xie Weihui's shares were sold, the share market received false information that the Feng Conglomerate had suffered losses in the current quarter but immediately after that, the company's spokesperson had gone to the media and said that the information was baseless. 

The company hadn't suffered any loss and was in fact making profits. A panic among the investors was nipped right in the bud. The market conducted the share trading in the normal way. The only big news was that ten percent of Feng Conglomerate was sold and someone bought the entire lot. Now everybody wanted to know who was that rich, powerful individual who had bought shares worth a hundred million Yuan. 

Xie Weihui called her secretary to ask as to what was the status. He said, "Madam, the company's share prices didn't fall down at all. As a matter of fact, after we sold our shares, the price became steady and we haven't got a single share in our portfolio now." 

"What?" shouted Xie Weihui on top of her lungs. "But you said that the prices would fall." 

"I said that based on your information Mrs. Weihui. You cannot blame me. You were the one who gave me the information that the prices would fall and that we needed to buy all the shares once the prices fell." 

Xie Weihui was furious. She disconnected the call and threw her phone on the floor. Her first calculation had gone wrong but she had a plan B in her mind. She waited for the board meeting to happen tomorrow otherwise she would expose Feng Xinying's identity to the world if the meeting were postponed any further. She waited patiently for information about the meeting. Her patience started thinning towards the end of the evening. She sighed and said, "So these people are testing my limits. In that case I will go to press first thing tomorrow morning." Saying that she started laughing. 

She slept off on her bed after studying all the documents that her lawyer had prepared for the takeover and Xie Yuansheng's exit. She smiled once again. 

It was 4AM in the morning that she received a message. 

[You are cordially invited to attend the board meeting of Feng Conglomerate at 10AM in the morning.]

She read the message and smiled. She got up early and got dressed. She wanted to be the first one to reach there and throw all those documents on Xie Yuansheng's face. She imagined how she would beat her opponents. After the takeover, the value of shares would tumble and she would get a fresh chance to buy them at the price of her choice. 

Her lawyer came to fetch her. Today she was wearing a red colored dress with matching jewelry and sandals. Once again she went to meet Ru Shishi. She walked inside the gates of the prison and was taken to meet her daughter. Even though the prisoners could meet only twice during the week, Xie Weihui had been able to get special permission to meet her daughter four times a week on the basis of her sickness and condition. She said that she wanted to monitor how the jail doctors were treating her. 

"Have you come to take me? Have you taken over the company?" asked Ru Shishi as soon as she saw her mother. 

"The formalities will be completed today Shishi, I promise," she replied with a smile. 

"Ah!" Ru Shishi nodded. "Why have you come here then? Stop wasting your time. Go to the company and get those bastards out!" she lambasted. 

Xie Weihui felt bad in her heart but she didn't say anything. She collected her purse and went away from there. On her way she thought that Ru Shishi is so bitter only because she was thrown in jail by Xie Yuansheng. Who normal person could stay sane? A tear formed in her eye when she imagined how much Ru Shishi was suffering. She closed her fists tightly. Today she would take revenge! 

She reached the company along with her lawyer exactly at 10AM. She looked at the guards who had thrown her out yesterday and mentally made a note of firing them all that day itself. As she reached the elevator, she saw that Xie Yuansheng was entering an elevator while all other employees were entering a separate elevator. She stopped the elevator in which Xie Yuansheng was entering to step inside. 

Xie Yuansheng looked up at her. Suddenly the security people came in front and told her that she couldn't get in that elevator because it was a private elevator for the CEO. She had to use the public elevator. They didn't let her enter. She stared at Xie Yuansheng thinking, "This is your last day to use the elevator. From tomorrow you will not be allowed to enter the company premises also." She went to the public elevator where all other employees were getting in. it being a busy day, a lot of employees had stuffed themselves in and she was pushed and squeezed in the far corner. The elevator stopped at every floor until it reached the fifteenth floor where the meeting room was present. She exited the elevator with difficulty. She stepped out along with her lawyer, dusted her dress.

She lifted her face up, broadened her shoulders and trotted in her high heels to the meeting room. It was 10:15AM and she opened the door wide. She saw that all the members were present in full capacity. "Better!" she thought as she smiled at all of them. She didn't even look at the Chairman's side trying to ignore Xie Yuansheng. She went and sat on the far opposite end, kept her purse down and sat down on the chair, crossing her legs. Then she looked up. Her eyes stretched as far as they could with what she saw in front of her. 

Feng Xinying was sitting right next to Xie Yuansheng. Feng Xinying was looking very beautiful in a green dress. She looked relaxed. 

"What was she doing there?" she thought at first but at the same time smiled. "She won't reveal herself. She had come to show her support to her husband. If she acts, I will expose these people that she is married to Xie Yuansheng." She imagined that it would be such a shock and became thrilled. 

The meeting started. 

Xie Yuansheng got up from his place and started speaking, "Thanks for coming here on such short notice." He pointed at Feng Xinying and said, "I am here today along with my wife Feng Xinying who has been sweet enough to leave her film shooting and join us for the meeting." 

Xie Weihui was shaken at though she had received 440V electric shock!
