Chapter 298 - The Share Price (2)

When Xie Yuansheng left for the office, all he could think of was the look of excitement Feng Xinying's face. He knew that it was the look when she was into preparing dishes in the kitchen. He didn't know what else to think all the way to the office.

After he had left, Feng Xinying switched on the TV again to see the business news. Although Xie Yuansheng had assured her that it wouldn't make a difference to the Feng Conglomerate, she was anxious. She was anxious because after Xie Weihui's experience, she had come to know one thing, and that was that for hostile takeovers, people could go to any length. Lim Chuen was one such man. 

When the market opened, the price of the share had fallen down by 0.5 Yuan but it had stayed at that value for an hour before it started rising. Feng Xinying was seeing the reverse of what she had imagined. She was looking at the news biting her finger nails. All her manicured hands were looking like a mess by the end of two hours. She had become very tired watching the news and so she left the TV room and went to take a bath. When she returned she saw that the share price had risen by four percent. 

Based on the company's performance, the stock exchange had decided to give Feng Conglomerate a price band of twenty percent, which means that beyond a specific limit, the share price of the company cannot rise or fall. This price band was based on the previous day closing price. 

When Feng Xinying stitched the TV, she saw that the company had already gained four percent. She felt very positive but anxious at the same time. She switched the channels where they were talking about her return to the company and how the major share market players looked at it. One of them said that it was an excellent indicator. Since the company was always under the able leadership of Mr. Xie Yuansheng, it has been doing well, but the return of its heir kind of a fairytale. Hence the people like that factor. According to him the value would increase and so would the image of the company.

Chang Ling had managed to talk to two TV channels and after giving them lots of money, she had asked them to bring as much negative vibes about Feng Xinying as possible. So in those two news channels, the news anchors were only trying to dig all things negative about the company. One of them said, "Feng Xinying was a model before coming back to the company. Since when do the models have high IQ? All they have is their body to show off. If Miss Xinying can, she should return to the world of modeling or better go back to America."

Feng Xinying was very appalled by him and so she changed the news channel. She regretted not being able to do her college. She wanted all those years back… 

Chang Ling watched those two channels and was happy that this would bring the share price down. She reassured Lim Chuen who was sitting in front of his computer screen ready to buy at the slightest dip now. 

Feng Xinying started watching another news channel and suddenly she saw that the share price had gone up by ten percent. All the news channels had started talking about Feng Conglomerate. Some of them talked about its history also. One of them stated that they had been trying to contact the officials at Feng Conglomerate but couldn't. All of them were unavailable for comments. 

Ever since Xie Yuansheng had heard that the company share price was rising in the stock exchange, he had instructed all his people not to talk to the media. He was into taking meetings and there was not an iota of emotion on his face regarding the share price. He wanted this to be as low key as possible. 

It was in the next hour that Feng Xinying looked at the news with her hands on her mouth. The share trading for Feng Conglomerate was suspended. She called Xie Yuansheng but his phone went unanswered. 

She was stunned. She didn't know that the market would go that way. She felt dizzy and went to the bathroom to throw up. 

The Feng Conglomerate stock had hit its upper circuit and its trading was suspended for the day until the share price came below its circuit range, which was highly unlikely. 

When Feng Xinying came back and looked at the news regarding stock exchange, there was a huge positive market sentiment. People were talking about how rarely they saw such excellent vibes in the market. Feng Xinying's return was seen in an optimistic way. She was very emotional. She took her hands to her tummy and stroked it fondly. She whispered to her baby, "See you are so lucky for mommy." 

She was so emotional that tears of joy came out of her eyes.

Suddenly she saw a major TV news channel was interviewing Xie Yuansheng in his office. 

"Good afternoon, Sir, thank you for giving us this rare opportunity to talk to you." he said and continued, "Today we see a very rare occurrence in the stock exchange. Your company's share trading had to be suspended for the rest of the day. Were you anticipating it?" 

Xie Yuansheng looked very calm and said, "We were not expecting it at all. No one can predict market sentiments."

Anchor asked, "After it was announced to the world that Miss Feng Xinying is none other than the daughter of Feng Zhantian, weren't you afraid that people are going to see your wife in a different way."

Xie Yuansheng looked at the anchor coldly and said, "The market sentiment has proved that they had taken the news positively. What else can I say?" 

The anchor got the hint that the CEO didn't want to talk about his wife, so the next few questions that he asked were mostly about Feng Conglomerate and its future. When the interview ended, Feng Xinying had a huge smile on her face. She switched off the TV and went downstairs. It was afternoon now and it was time for surprise.
