Our Glamorous Time

Chapter 66: Deciding Point

Ning Weikai was surprised when he heard that DG corporation became one of New Bori's major shareholders. Mr.Zhu claimed previously that he wouldn't sell the shares of New Bori. Now, however, things changed in a short period.

Without much effort, he figured out how it had happened. DG started to buy shares from moderate and minor shareholders, who were the relatives and friends of the Zhu's. They helped Mr. Zhu build the corporation so they owned part of New Bori. And now? They couldn't enter the executive suite of Zhu's corporation. It was difficult for them to resist DG Corporation's high-priced offers.

Tsktsk

However, it was Zhu Hanchong and Zhu Hancheng who put New Bori into an equity crisis.

Lin Mochen, one of DG Corporation's representatives, secretly met with the two. After a few days, he bought ten percent shares from them combined, which brought DG's ownership to thirty percent of New Bori and made DG one of the largest stakeholder in the company.

As for Ning Weikai, the only thing he wanted to say to this was, "F*ck!" After all, New Bori was not the established or "raised" by the Zhu brothers, and thus they did not feel sorry for giving this "step-child" up. Ning Weikai could think of lots of reasons why they were willing to sell their shares. First, Ning Weikai himself had been in charge of New Bori for years and was influential. They didn't feel assured dealing with a corporation with a large group of people who they had concerns with the loyalty. Second, they had only dabbled in the real estate and finance industries before, while traditional and low-profit industries like the bag industry couldn't attract their interest. Selling part of their shares rewarded them with a huge sum which they could use the to support other areas of the business owned by them. Of course, it could further build their reputation within the Zhu's Corporation as well. After all, when Ning Weikai was taken care of, they became the only competitors for the chairman position. Lastly, it would be almost impossible for Ning Weikai to ever turn the tables after New Bori was sold. It was like salt in his wound.

Ning Weikai had to admit that if he were in their shoes, he would also sell New Bori.

Now, the situation was unclear. Mr. Zhu owned twenty percent, and the two brothers sold five percent each, not to mention that they were likely to sell their remaining twenty percent. Zhu Hanyu's fifteen would be sold while the other fifteen percent was distributed among other minor shareholders, who were loyal to Ning Weikai. Other than everything above, thirty-five percent was owned by DG. There was still a question mark about who would become the controlling shareholder of New Bori.

As for Zhu Hanyu, Ning Weikai could completely understand why she wouldn't sell her shares. It was said that Lin Mochen had approached her but was rejected.

She was naïve and inexperienced, but she was also stubborn. She might not be able to realize how important her shares were, but she didn't want to sell what belonged to the Zhu's in the first place.

Ning Weikai looked at the sky and buildings outside and sighed.

As he was thinking about her, Yuan knocked on the door and walked in. He looked a bit odd and was hinting at him with his eyes, "Mr. Ning, Mrs. Ning is here." Ning Weikai was a stupefied. He saw Zhu Hanyu, who was wearing a sapphire-blue skirt and a white topper, walk in.

They gazed at each other. Ning Weikai's face was fixed while Zhu Hanyu was expressive in her look. She held her purse tightly, gazing at him. "Yuan Jun, I need a minute," said Ning Weikai. And then, he stood up behind his desk and approached her with a smile, "Why're you here, Hanyu?"

This was the first time she set foot in his workplace after she married him.

Zhu Hanyu somehow lowered her head to evade eye contact with him. "You haven't been home for three days. I'm here to see whether you're OK." Ning Weikai looked at her alabaster neck, resembling a smooth jade of high quality. He had never seen another woman with such a smooth and delicate neck. Today, she was in the most ordinary clothing. However, every one of her moves showed what an elegant and refined woman she was. She was born a socialite, a princess. The princess who lived at the ivory tower like in the fairy tale. The princess once in his dream.
