Chapter 414 I Will Hang Up On You


    "I know. I know. I will give an order right now to sell off my father''s shares in the Wen Group." Sighing,


    Jean nodded her head and walked out of the conference room after seeing mixed reactions.


    Meanwhile, Joy raised her head up as she watched Jean leaving in a hurry. Ever since Shirley got


    kidnapped, she was extremely shocked, and her nerves had not calmed down yet, but she didn''t


    expect Jean to try so hard to raise such a huge amount just to save Shirley. With this thought in her


    mind, Joy heaved a deep sigh and finally went out.


    On the other hand, now that thergest shareholder of the Wen Group was selling off his shares at a


    low price,motion arouse in the business sector of H City.


    Many investors rushed to tell the news to others and thought about taking the opportunity to make a


    profit from it. Even then, more investors were more cautious about this and chose to stay on the


    sidelines to watch.


    A fiercemercial war was about to begin, or so they thought. There were those who just wanted to


    watch the hustle and eagerly sat in front of theirputers, but after half an hour, they only observed


    the share price of the Wen Group fall by 10 per cent.


    Those who were ready to buy in the shares, on the other hand, started to calm down. It looked certain


    that something serious happened to the Wen Group for the shares to be on sale like this in such a low


    price. Then again, if the price continued to fall like this, the Wen Group would really go bankrupt.


    At the thought of this possibility, those investors who nned to buy in the shares immediately put a


    halt to this decision and hesitated.


    One hour had passed, and then another hour with still no change.


    Jean nced at the stock chart of the Wen Group and noticed that the stock price had been indeed


    falling. Convinced that Zed''s n to acquire the Wen Group would go smoothly, she walked outside


    with a slight smile stered on her face.


    Joy had been anxiously sitting in the lounge waiting. As soon as she saw Jeane out of the office,


    she stood up and hurriedly walked towards her. "How is it going now?" Joy asked in haste.


    "Nobody has bought our shares at the moment. It seems that many investors have guessed that a


    serious incident may have happened in thepany, so most investors dare not buy them. However, I


    still have some hope that there would be some other investors who still want to buy them but are


    waiting until our share price drops to a certain low point." Pretending to show a helpless expression,


    Jean told Joy with a deep sigh.


    Joy''s eyes widened in surprise. "Oh, my God! How can that be?" she eximed. Being struck by the


    news, Joy staggered a few steps backwards and seemed deeply overwhelmed in a negative way.


    Deep inside, Jean enjoyed Joy''s extremely depressed expression with satisfaction, but she did not


    dare to show this. When she had enjoyed watching Joy enough, she came forward and patted Joy on


    the shoulder in constion. "It''s all right. As long as the Wen Group hasn''t gone bankrupt, someone


    will eventually buy these shares in the end." Sheforted Joy in great affection, but only in order to


    aggravate her uneasiness.

    Sure enough, with Jean''sfort, Joy felt even more desperate and was about to cry. A few moments


    one hundred million ransom by six o''clock tomorrow morning? What happens then?"


    "Don''t worry. Regardless of how much we can sell the shares, we will surely raise enough money to


    save Shirley any way." Still continuing the act, Jean said in a firm tone.


    Joy''s face rxed a bit. "Thank you, Jean." She then reached out to grab Jean''s hand and continued,"I


    didn''t realize that of all people, you were the only one willing to save Shirley at this critical situation."


    Jean was shocked. She didn''t expect Joy to suddenly grab her hand. For a moment, she was unable to


    respond and just stared at the hand that held hers. When she realized who was suddenly holding her


    hand, she had the urge to withdraw, but went against it in the end. Besides, she did not want to arouse


    Joy''s suspicion, so she had no choice but to endure the nausea and talk perfunctorily with Joy. "Don''t


    worry about it. Shirley is still my sister. I couldn''t stand watching her in danger without doing anything,"


    Jean said, wearing a weak smile.


    With Jean''s words, Joy sighed in deep relief.


    "Well, I better go back and get ready first, so you can focus on doing your business," Joy finally said


    after deciding whether to leave or to stay and wait for good news.


    "Okay then. I will call you as soon as I have raised enough money." Jean nodded at Joy and gave her


    another weak smile.


    Before leaving hurriedly, Joy made sure to say a few more words of gratitude.


    As Joy was out of sight, Jean dropped the act. Her face scrunched into a look of disgust as she stared


    at her right hand that Joy had held on to moments ago. Not willing to wait any further, she rushed into


    the bathroom without any hesitation and washed her hands five or more times until she felt better.


    Her hands were slightly red from all the extensive washing and just after drying her hands, her


    assistant came running in anxiously. "Mrs. Qi, uh, boss, someone has bought out shares."


    Having guessed that the buyer must be Zed, deep inside Jean was delighted to hear the news, but she


    had to keep ying on the act, so she showed a fake look of astonishment on her face. Leading the


    way, she hurried back to the office with her assistant.


    She immediately looked at theputer, and her eyes widened immediately in surprise. Seeing that


    the buyer was a Wu Group and not Qi Group, her face turned into a questioning look. She told her


    assistant to leave before taking out her cell phone and dialed Zed''s number.


    As soon as the rings had stopped, Jean didn''t bother to wait for Zed''s voice. "Zed, please tell me if


    William Wang, who bought the shares, is your subordinate. Also, howe I have never heard of a Wu


    Group, the acquiring corporation?" Jean asked, doubt obvious in her voice.


    Zed smiled on the other end of the call. "Oh, dear. You''re right. He is really my subordinate. I asked him


    to register such a smallpany just temporarily, mainly to acquire the Wen Group. And about the Wu


    Group, I think you can figure this out." Zed deliberately posed a puzzle to Jean. Even though Jean


    couldn''t see him, she felt like at this moment, Zed just leaned on his seat, waiting for her answer with a


    yful smile.


    Sighing once, Jean thought for a moment. "Now that I know he is your subordinate, I think I have


    guessed what it means." She smiled before continuing,"Oh, Zed, why are you so kind to me?" She felt


    so touched and moved by this gesture that she was about to cry, and that what she wanted most now


    was to envelope him in a big hug and bury herself in his broad butfortable chest.


    Zed''s eyes widened in surprise. "Did you really guess it?" He still asked incredulously. ''How can she


    guess so quickly? This makes me feel no sense of achievement at all, '' he thought, sighing to himself.


    "Yes, well, I know it''s not appropriate for you toe out to buy in the shares of the Wen Group at this


    time in the name of the Qi Group. Otherwise, Henry, that cunning old fox, will end up not only being


    ungrateful to you, but also would im that you are taking advantage of his moments of distress. That''s


    why you decided to temporarily register a smallpany to do it, but I didn''t expect that you would


    name thepany by my mother''s family name. Zed, you don''t know how touched I am at this very


    moment. Sweetheart, I love you so much! Honestly, I just want to hug you right now," she said


    affectionately.


    Jean''s eyes turned red from all the tears that filled them, and at the same time, excitement started to


    build inside of her.


    Zed instantly smiled. "Honey, it''s my honor to do anything for you." He suddenly felt warm inside for he


    truly felt the love just by her tone of voice.


    When Jean finally calmed down, she became somewhat confused. "But, why didn''t you wait until the


    price falls a little lower to buy them?" she asked.


    "Because I had a feeling that I''m not the only one who covets the Wen Group," Zed exined,


    expecting her to pose such a question.


    Smiling, Jean understood immediately. Without any more thoughts filling her head, she sighed in relief.


    "Now that I have raised enough money, I can go home first. By the way, honey, what would you like to


    eat tonight? I''ll cook it for you."


    "Although I really want to take your offer and enjoy most the dishes you cook, I think it''s best if you just


    go home and rest. You had a busy day in thepany today, so wouldn''t you be too tired if you still


    cook for me after the day''s work? We can just eat out tonight," Zed suggested, worried that he would


    wear out his sweet wife.


    "Oh, no darling, don''t worry. It''s okay." Even though Zed couldn''t see her, Jean still shook her head


    before she continued,"I''m going to cook for you. How can I feel tired doing that? Besides, what you


    have done today has saved Shirley''s life. Of course, I have to treat you well."


    Jean''s face was now full of bright smile. She could not help but feel excitement with the thought that


    she would be able to see Shirley tomorrow and learn from the kidnappers whether Shirley had anything


    to do with Winner''s death.


    Zedughed when he heard Jean, breaking Jean''s train of thought. "Darling, you obviously know what I


    really like to eat," he replied. A chill run down Jean''s spine with Zed''s voice that was deep and


    charming but she ignored this feeling and felt confused instead.


    "Really? I know what you like to eat?" Stunned at Zed''s words, Jean asked, not really understanding


    what he meant.


    Zed cleared his throat. "Actually, my favorite food is..." Zed paused while Jean waited patiently,


    wondering what it could be and excited to cook it for him. "You." Zed''s tone was vague. He could


    imagine that by now, Jean''s cheeks must have turned red as an apple. It gave him the urge to take a


    bite and see whether it was as aromatic and sweet as it looked.


    As if a light bulb shed above her head, Jean immediately realized what he meant. Her face turned


    instantly bright red. "Honey, you are so naughty that you even tease me at this time," she pouted.


    "It''s not my fault! But really, I swear to God that my favorite food in my life is..." Zed still wanted to tease


    her, but Jean interrupted him in a huff.


    "Oh no. Zed, please stop. If you go on talking about it, I will hang up on you!" Jean threatened angrily


    from embarrassment.


    Hearing Jean warned him like this, Zed had to change the subject with regret. "All right! I know my little


    wife is too thin-skinned for jokes like these. Well then, go home quickly and have a good rest. I''lle


    back to apany you as soon as I have finished my work."


    "All right. See youter." Jean nodded and after bidding each other goodbye, she hung up.


    Jean was in a good mood and a big smile was kept stered on her face as she thought of the


    conversation on the phone she just had with Zed. She was humming while she was tidying up and left


    the Wen Group with a huge grin on her face.


    As she was out of the gate of the Wen Group, Jean turned around and looked back at the tall and


    magnificent building with ss windows that sparkled as the sun shone on it.


    She couldn''t help but heave a deep sigh at how it was going to turn out.


    Henry spent almost half his life and risked all he had to lose just so he could give life to this building.


    However, therge enterprise that had been made from blood, sweat, and tears only took a short


    amount of time for it to get bankrupt.


    Decades of painstaking efforts could dissipate overnight, and that was why most people could not


    stand the blow of failure and had sunk into an extreme depression ever since. Some even ended their


    lives just so they couldn''t watch their life''s worth efforts burn into dust.


    Jean shook her head helplessly in efforts to remove these thoughts inside her head. Then, she got into


    the Bentley, and Toby drove her all the way home.


    As soon as the car was halfway through, Jean''s phone rang. She looked at the caller ID and smiled.


    "Hello, Moore," she greeted. Her mood naturally rxed at Moore''s call, and once more, she couldn''t


    help but smile. "How are you doing these days? You took me in and helped me a few days ago, but I


    haven''t thanked you yet."


    "If you really want to thank me, thene out and treat me to dinner tonight!" Moore said with a bright


    smile on his face.


    "Dinner with you tonight?" Jean swallowed a lump on her throat and became a little hesitant. After all,


    she had promised Zed that she would cook for him tonight. Then again, Moore was her good friend,


    and he also helped her a lot that day. If it hadn''t been for him, she would have had spent the night in


    the streets. She would be very sorry if she refused him, but she would also feel guilty if she had to


    cancel with Zed tonight. ''Oh no, what should I do?'' she thought with a frown on her face.
