    Chapter 42 Striving for a Month’s Time


    I held my forehead, feeling a bit of a headache. I wanted to ask about the current operation of Bright

    Media, but a secretary rushed out of the meeting room, saying, “Cory, you need to go in quickly, it’s


    bing a mess in there.”


    Upon hearing, Cory and I didn’t have time to say much, we entered the conference room.


    In the conference room, there were five people seated. In the middle of the room sat a rather thin,


    elderly white man, presumably the Loredge investor Jack that Cory had mentioned. Beside him sat a


    middle-aged woman, Sofia, the domestic CEO of the investmentpany. Among the others, two were


    from my father, he was the person with the most shares.


    Seeing Cory and me enter, a few people looked over at me. Upon seeing me, Sofia slightly furrowed


    her brows and directly asked, “Are you Rudolf’s little daughter, Tabatha?”


    I nodded, looked around at the few people, and said to Jack and Benjamin, “I’m sorry, something


    happened to my father, so I had toe to today’s meeting alone.”


    Benjamin nodded slightly and said calmly, “Tabatha, we just heard about your father’s situation. Birth,


    aging, sickness, and death are inevitable. We are deeply saddened. We shouldn’t have asked you to


    so we had to call you in to give us an exnation.”


    I nodded, opening my mouth to say, “I can understand, Benjamin, I


    don’t know much about Bright Media. What exactly happened? What rmed all of you?”


    Hearing me speak, a few people exchanged nces. Sofia pushed a document in front of me, her tone


    somewhat harsh, “Youngdy, something happened in your family. We shouldn’t be troubling you, but


    what your father did before he died was really too much. You should see for yourself.”.


    picked up the documents with some confusion and started reading. They were financial statements


    from Bright Media and a series of documents signed for the financing that year.


    After roughly going through it, my heart skipped a beat, and I couldn’t help but break out in a cold


    sweat. Putting down the documents, I looked at the few people and said, “Elders, I absolutely believe


    that my father would not do such a thing. When he invited you to invest in Bright Media years ago, it


    was because he truly believed that Bright Media could bring benefits to both you and him.”


    “Hmph!” Sofia sneered, “Save your words, what we need now is an exnation. Why is it that the 30


    million US dors we invested a few months ago, now there’s only 800 thousand dors left in the


    the profits of such apany are actually negative. Ms. Conner, your father treating us investors like


    fools?”


    I hadn’t expected this situation either. Jack, who had been silent all along, finally spoke. He looked at


    me and said, “Ms. Conner, we don’t intend to make things difficult for you. Now that your father hast


    passed away, we have no way to verify anything. So, we just had a discussion among ourselves. Since


    we can’t trace where that money > went, we decided to implement the gambling agreement we signed


    initially to minimize the loss of our investors as much as possible. I


    27 76%


    have already arranged for senior management to enter the Conner Group to n for the future of the


    Conner Group in a more scientific and effective way. Of course, your father’s shares will be diluted by


    us investors ording to the agreement, and the remaining shares will still be managed by you. You


    can stay in the Conner Group and continue to be an employee, but you will no longer have decision-


    making and management rights in the Conner Group.”


    My mind buzzed for a moment, and I immediately understood his words. Without decision-making and


    management rights, it meant that the future of the Conner Group was entirely up to them. Once the


    Conner Group could no longer operate, they would pass it on with the least loss. This also meant that


    the Conner Group was about to go bankrupt and cease to exist.


    Thinking of my father’s words before his death, I quickly stopped Jack, who was about to sign the


    appointment contract, and said, “Wait a minute, I will bear the loss of Bright Media. As for the funds in


    the ount that have gone missing, I will find them and give you all an exnation.”


    Several people looked at me, their brows slightly furrowed. Benjamin paused for a moment, his tone


    heavy with seriousness, “Tabatha, it’s good that you think this way, but this is not just talk. That’s thirty


    million dors, not just thirty million. We are all aware of the current financial and operational status of


    the Conner Group. Moreover, considering the rumors about you in the news media, I’m not trying to


    kick you when you’re down, just analyzing rationally. Even if we give you the opportunity to investigate,


    I’m afraid you won’t be able to be the chairman of the Conner Group like your father. After all,


    sometimes, the image of a corporate manager has more influence than his ability.”


    “Let’s not discuss the position of Chairman of the Conner Group for now, Benjamin. What we are


    discussing now is about the whereabouts of the thirty million dors in the Bright Media ount. I hope


    you

    can give me a chance to investigate this. I don’t believe my father would do such a thing, and I also


    believe that I can give you a satisfactory exnation.”
