Chapter 95 Back To The Company


    When Melinda returned home, she saw Nelson ying with Momo in the yard. He had been sitting in


    the yard for a long time, waiting for them to arrive.


    Momo snapped its head when it saw Melinda. It immediately ran towards her and began to rub its head


    against her leg.


    Jonas envied the cat as it got to be closer to Melinda than he was.


    "You''re back soon. How''s everything going?" Nelson asked.


    "I''ve taken care of everything, Grandpa. Why don''t you go to the room and rest? It''s windy and you


    must take care of your health," Melinda said worriedly.


    Although Nelson looked healthy, Melinda remembered how weak he had been and how much he had


    suffered in the past.


    The night breeze swept across the yard, making the leaves dance wildly to its rhythm. Before anyone


    knew, it was already autumn that carried the sweet scent of flowers and moist leaves.


    Jonas followed Melinda and helped Nelson get into the vi. Melinda made an excuse and went


    upstairs to get the marriage certificate when it was inside her bag.


    Melinda took out the marriage certificate from her bag. It looked brand new without any creases or


    spots. If not for the date on the certificate, everyone would have thought that it was a new one.


    Nelson sat in the living room and Jonas instructed Mary to make snacks and cut fruits for Nelson. He


    also went to the study and brought the Chinese chessboard to y with his grandfather.


    "Grandpa, why don''t you have dinner here? I''ll cook tonight," Melinda asked as she stood behind


    Nelson and handed the marriage certificate to him.


    Nelson eagerly took the marriage certificate and immediately looked at the date. Both Jonas and


    Melinda nced at each other and heaved a sigh of relief.


    "Good, good. You two are perfect for each other. I''m sure your children would be as beautiful as you


    two are." Nelson smiled fondly.


    He was happy that his grandchildren hadn''t lied to him. His happiness reached its peak when he saw


    Jonas smiling in the photo.


    Nelson returned the certificate to Melinda. Jonas understood the hidden meaning behind his


    grandfather''s words and stole a nce at Melinda. He saw her bite her lip as a subtle blush lined her


    cheeks.


    "Grandpa, you continue with your game. I''ll go to the kitchen to make dinner."


    Melinda scurried to the kitchen. Jonas couldn''t help smiling. Until now, he hadn''t realized that his wife


    was shy. She looked incredibly cute when she blushed.


    That night, Nelson restored Jonas''s authority in thepany.


    Jonas returned to Soaring Group the next day. Some were happy to see him, while others were


    disappointed that he was back sooner than they had expected. Thepany functioned without the


    CEO during his absence.


    William was happy to have Jonas back in thepany. He told everything about thepany''s affairs


    and what had happened to Jonas when he wasn''t around.


    Jonas knitted his brows and looked at William as he felt that something was wrong. "It''s the right time


    to acquire thispany. Didn''t anyone from the board of directors tell about it?"


    Jonas was referring to one of the family businesses in the local area. Thepany had been in the


    field for a long time but it was incurring losses because ofck of new technology. Jonas''spetitor


    was ready for acquisition but the managers of Soaring Group hadn''t taken any actions so far.


    There had been a lot of talk in the industry and Jonas was up-to-date with all the news even though he


    was suspended from work.


    "No, the board of directors has only been arguing about obtaining power." William frowned.


    Everyone wanted to take advantage of Jonas''s absence to seize the power and be the CEO of


    Soaring Group. The greediest of them was Jonas''s uncle, Aron Gu. He was Jonas''s father''s younger


    brother.


    William didn''t disclose all the information but Jonas could understand Aron Gu''s intentions. Jonas


    scoffed when he thought about his greedy uncle.


    "You have to work overtime for the next two days to n our acquisition," Jonas said.


    He had nned everything that was cardinal to thepany''s growth and the acquisition of the


    company needed immediate attention.


    Meanwhile, in the general manager''s office, a middle-aged man was sitting on the leather sofa,


    smoking a cigarette as he listened to his secretary exin about Jonas''s moves after he had returned


    to work.


    "Is he nning to acquire thepany?" Aron Gu asked coldly.


    His deep eyes were glinting with malice as he looked at the secretary through his ck-rimmed


    sses. He resembled Jonas but his features were sharper, which made him look scarier.


    "The people in the CEO office have already started the acquisition n," the secretary said.


    Aron Gu smashed the cigarette on the ashtray and wiped his hands. He thought that Jonas and the


    company would suffer irrevocable damage and losses but he didn''t expect Jonas to regain power


    sooner.


    He was mad at Nelson for sending Jonas back to work before he executed all his ns.


    "Arrange a meeting with all the shareholders. I''m going to invite them to dinner tonight."


    Aron Gu was preparing to fight for the inheritance of thepany. He had been ttering the


    shareholders to gain their trust, in the hope of receiving their support when hepeted for power.


    Nelson had given full authority and power of thepany to Jonas. Although Aron Gu was Nelson''s


    son, he was a mere shareholder and possessed no right of inheritance.


    He was the general manager of Soaring Group and couldn''t ept that he had to obey his nephew''s


    orders.

    It took three days for the team toe up with the n. They had prepared the rough model by the


    third day. They already had an idea about thepany and it didn''t take long to chart the n.


    Jonas made the final modification and held a board meeting. As soon as he spoke out about his n,


    some shareholders gathered to object his decision.


    "Our profit margin will rise only if we acquire a technologically advancedpany. Although this is a


    reputedpany, their methods are archaic. We might have to invest a lot of money on manpower and


    resources to meet the industrial standards."


    "That would be unnecessary. Although thepany is old, it continues to be a leading enterprise


    because of its efficient management. If we acquire thepany, it will be beneficial for us in the long


    run," Jonas said sternly.


    The two parties were arguing heatedly and some of them had a neutral stance. Jonas silently watched


    everyone, making a note of their opinions.


    He nced at Aron Gu who was sitting at the right side of the table with a wicked smile on his face.


    Jonas knew that he was a cold, calcting man.


    He couldn''t help but admire Aron Gu''s maniptive skills. He had managed to gather the support of


    many people within a short period.


    "Why don''t we vote ande to a conclusion?" Aron Gu suggested.


    The room fell silent as everyone turned to look at him. They discussed and finally agreed to his


    decision.


    The result was a tie as forty percent of them agreed, another forty percent disagreed, while the


    remaining twenty percent of shareholders were neutral.


    Jonas wasn''t surprised by the result and concluded the meeting.


    "Jonas, you''re still young. Your methods are unorthodox and impulsive,"


    Aron Gu said, pursing his lips. Jonas took a sip of his tea, ced the cup on the table, and smiled.


    "You say my methods are impulsive? I feel that I have been too lenient in the past and that''s the reason


    why we''vee to this situation. It''s time I took a serious decision."


    Aron Gu''s jaw dropped, and his eyes widened with shock. He felt that Jonas''s words were directed


    towards him.


    "Soaring Group is argepany and all the employees are dependent on us. We need to take our


    time ande up with the right decision." Aron Gu red.


    "How can we move forward if we aren''t ready to take risky decisions. We cannot y safe all the time.


    Anyway, I don''t think acquiring thatpany is highly risky."


    Aron Gu acted like a conservative man, who believed that following the traditional methods was the


    only way to attain sess. He behaved as if he prioritized thepany over everything else and felt


    that Jonas was overlooking the future of thepany.


    "You are still too young to know what''s right and what''s not," Aron Gu said.


    "Now is the time where youngsters rule. Am I right, Uncle Aron?" Jonas smirked.


    Aron Gu opened his mouth to say something but swallowed loudly and remained quiet. Jonas stood up


    to leave. William packed his things and transferred the results into a USB and left with Jonas.


    Everyone walked out of the meeting room, leaving Aron Gu all alone. He looked at the direction where


    Jonas had left. Aron Gu wasn''t ready to ept his defeat.


    Jonas returned to his office and gave a list of the names of the shareholders to William.


    "Boss, are you nning to investigate them?" William asked.


    Jonas had made a note of the people who intended to defeat him. They weren''t telling their opinions, or


    rather tried to make everyone believe that Jonas was wrong.


    He knew that they were his enemies and he needed to get rid of them.


    "I want you to arrange a private detective to investigate what they are up to. I''ll make sure we acquire


    thepany by then. And don''t forget to arrange someone to spy on Uncle Aron. He would go to any


    extent to have what he wants," Jonas said, rubbing his temples.


    Jonas knew that these shareholders had ganged up with Aron Gu and he wanted to gather evidence


    against him.


    The shareholders were smart and Jonas couldn''t execute his ns. But they were oblivious to Jonas''s


    next move.


    The private detective was efficient. He gathered a lot of information in a short period. Jonas understood


    that hispany was gued by these people who were working against him. He also found that


    some of the workers in the financial department were preparing false reports.


    "Wow! What a n!"


    William''s eyes widened with shock when he skimmed through the results of the shareholders. He felt


    that they deserved to be punished.


    Jonas started defeating them by attacking one of the shareholders. His opponents were routed


    ruthlessly and they gradually vanished from the shareholder''s group.


    It was already toote by the time Aron Gu found that Jonas was behind all of this. Jonas had already


    collected the evidence and secretlyunched attacks against his enemies.


    Several shareholders, who had been against him, left thepany one after another. The


    shareholders'' meeting was held again and the acquisition ns were unanimously approved by


    everyone.


    Jonas had already allocated the people to execute the acquisition, and the n would be carried out as


    soon as the deal was epted.


    Jonas''s n was borate. He effortlessly bought thepany even though hispetitor was


    strong.


    Everyone became terrified of Jonas and didn''t dare to acquire his position. No one knew who would be


    the next shareholder to disappear from Soaring Group.
