Chapter 26 - Conspiracy
Next fifteen days, Jing Lihua was glued to the office, presiding over different meetings trying to save the three existing projects. Alt the while, launching many new small projects and investing in small companies.
"Thank you, President Jing. I’ll never forget your kindness for trusting a small company like us." Fu Jianguo bowed in respect.
"I accept your gratitude, Mr. Fu, but let me remind you if you ever betray my trust and breach our contract, I’ve the ability to ruin you in minutes."
Fu Jianguo shivered. "Never President, you’ve shown me with kindness and recognized my company’s potential when no one did. I’ll never dare to go against you."
Jing Lihua nodded and walked out of the conference room. Who didn’t know there were no friends in business, there was only profit.
"Did you replace the reports In Zhang Min office?"
There was no one else Jing Lihua could trust for this confidential job.
"Yes, President. And here are the latest reports of updated stock prices Jin construction company."
When Jing Lihua read through the reports, a smile lit her face. "Good, did you read it Mei Xiu?"
"Yes, the stock prices have gone up by 50 % in just fifteen days!"
"It will go up further!" Jing Lihua was happy. "Just wait and see for half a year, the stock prices will go up by more than a hundred percent"
"It is understandable President. With the new policy of the government to build shelters for homeless and schools declared just a week ago, they would require a huge construction force. Since there is a sharp increase in demands, the prices would go up."
With fifty-eight percent shares, she had won the right to make final decisions in the company. The next person with the highest shares had only nineteen percent shares.
"But what baffles me is..."
"What is it Mei Xiu? Ask away!" Jing Lihua was in a good mood. This fifty percent was much more than she remembered in her previous life. What caused this change of events? Who cares! As long as she was being profited.
"How did President know? Being as prudent as President, you wouldn’t have bought the shares unless you... somehow knew? But the government policies were kept confidential. Not even the most influential businessmen had any idea."
Jing Lihua was silent for a while. "Let’s just say I had a hunch... a massive hunch."
Mei Xiu was a little depressed. Did her President trust her? But how could Jing Lihua possibly explain to her than she was from the future, had died and reincarnated?
"Oh, right I’ve been keeping you busy a lot lately. Arrange for an interview for a separate secretary for the company. From now on, you would be my personal secretary." Deluding Zang Min wasn’t an easy job. Jing Lihua couldn’t trust anyone else at this point.
Mei Xiu sighed in relief; she had indeed not been sleeping enough for the past few nights.
"But President, your schedule is tightly locked"
"Then make time. I definitely don’t want you to die from the massive workload. You are very important to the Tang enterprise. Besides if you died, where would I find a better coffee maker?"
In her past life, Mei Xiu had chosen to resign than betray her.
Mei Xiu bloomed like a flower in spring. "Thank you, President. I’m delighted that you consider me important and...", she smiled, "...a capable coffee maker. I’ll never betray you or Tang enterprise"
"President, while you were at the meeting, I received a call from Mr. Su secretary."
"What did he say?"
"He told me to get your schedule clear for a week the eighteen of the next month."
"You are my secretary, not his, to order."
"He said he had reserved two seats to Su family private island. President, what should I do?"
Jing Lihua was surprised then slowly the truth sunk in. She laughed ironically. If somehow she knew in her previous life that it just required her to cancel the honeymoon she planned to make Su Liwei willing to take her to Su family Island, she would have sure implemented that trick instead of begging him.
But now it was only trouble for her.
"Mei Xiu, my husband has planned a trip for us, should I be happy? Should I leave my office behind to enjoy the blissful moments of marital life?"
"No President Jing. You shouldn’t. Zhang Wei is working for him, conveying information, that thanks to President prudent approach, is false. Leaving him aside, there are upto eight men on board of directors that are Mr. Su loyal spies. Leaving your office would only grant them an opportunity to exploit your absence. What I’ve gathered from this, until now, is that Mr. Su’s motives are purely against us."
She liked her secretary.
"Then you know what to do?"
"I’ll immediately decline him"
