Starting Check-in Reward: Tomson Riviera Chapter 37 - 36: If You’re Bored, Go Find Your Man~ (2)

As the Yu Group’s stock plumted, the Shengding Group put out the word that it was willing to acquire the Yu Group’s shares at a favorable price.

With the Yu Group’s stock in freefall, countless shareholders began frantically selling off their shares.

Not selling at a ti like this would be financial suicide, wouldn’t it?

As for waiting for the price to recover? What were they thinking? They couldn’t possibly outplay these financial giants.

Besides, the economy had been sluggish all year. Generally speaking, everyone preferred to have cash on hand—that was the only real hard currency.

Thus, even when the Yu Group released statents to reassure its shareholders, it was useless. The Shengding Group’s acquisition was proceeding with incredible ease.

Once the Shengding Group’s holdings reached thirty percent, Zhu Yun initiated a tender offer for the Yu Group on behalf of the board of directors.

「The Yu Group.」

"Damn it! That Shengding Group is just kicking us while we’re down!"

Yu Tiancheng’s face was grim, and the phone beside him was ringing off the hook.

This morning alone, from the mont he’d arrived at the office, he had already taken countless calls from shareholders. Without exception, they were all demanding an explanation.

After all, secretly harboring wanted criminals was an act that blatantly crossed the line of the law!

No matter what, those shareholders were just citizens. Money lost could be earned back, but if they got implicated in a case like this, they would be finished!

They were, of course, upstanding, well-rounded mbers of society and naturally didn’t want to see themselves in such a situation.

So, many of the major shareholders had already announced they were selling their shares, deciding to cut their losses and save themselves.

"Damn it, these selfish bastards! When the company was profitable and paying dividends, they couldn’t get here fast enough. But the mont there’s trouble, they all fucking run for the hills!"

At this mont, Yu Tiancheng bore no resemblance to the high-society entrepreneur he usually was. His usual commanding presence had vanished without a trace.

"Chairman, the special task force has sent people to the company. They’re demanding an imdiate halt to all business operations."

Just then, a young secretary burst in, her face etched with anxiety.

She had never encountered anything like this before!

’One of Xia Country’s top 500 companies, and now it’s about to disappear in the blink of an eye!?’

"Damn it all, how did news of this get out!?"

Yu Tiancheng was on the verge of a breakdown.

He had only started secretly hiring wanted criminals back in the early days. He hadn’t had the money to afford elite bodyguards from professional security firms, so he had specifically sought out these kinds of people.

But he was sure he had always been ticulous. Otherwise, how would he have gone undiscovered until today?

"Get the hell out!"

Yu Tiancheng shot a cold glare at his secretary.

"Chairman..."

"I said get out! I need to think!"

Yu Tiancheng roared, sweeping everything off his desk and onto the floor.

The young secretary imdiately fell silent and quietly left the room.

’Ti to start looking for a new job,’ she decided. ’I can deal with him being a jerk on a normal day, but to pull rank on at a ti like this? Seriously?’

’He can go to hell!’

「anwhile, in the chairman’s office.」

Yu Tiancheng’s face was as cold as ice. "Shengding Group, Shengding Group... What in the world does this have to do with the Shengding Group!?"

"Wait a minute... Shengding Group!"

’I rember now,’ he thought. ’Just yesterday, wasn’t it? The Shengding Group reconvened its board and elected a new chairman. And that chairman...’

Yu Tiancheng scrambled to open his computer and quickly did a search online.

"Shengding Group’s New Chairman: Ye Ling!"

The mont he saw Ye Ling’s photo, Yu Tiancheng slumped into his chair.

He rembered Ye Ling.

So ti ago, after Yu Chenghao got beaten up, he had looked into Ye Ling. But back then, the information he’d received indicated that Ye Ling was just from an ordinary, working-class family...

’How did he suddenly beco the new chairman of the Shengding Group!?’

’Could this whole affair be related to Ye Ling?’

’But how could he possibly know about all this...?’

Yu Tiancheng’s eyes turned dark and cold. He pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

Li Yuan.

But no one answered.

"Damn it."

Yu Tiancheng roared. Even a fool would realize that Li Yuan must have been the one who betrayed him!

At that mont, he beca like a crazed beast, throwing and smashing everything in his office. He even hurled antiques worth hundreds of thousands to the floor!

"This won’t do. I have to contact Ye Ling imdiately, or the company is finished!"

Clinging to his last shred of reason, Yu Tiancheng quickly called Yu Chenghao.

Yu Chenghao, anwhile, was still fast asleep, nestled between two young models.

"Mmm... Young Master Yu, your phone’s ringing..."

Just then, one of the beautiful girls in Yu Chenghao’s arms was woken by the phone. She frowned and cooed delicately.

"Answer it for ."

Yu Chenghao mumbled, half-asleep.

The young woman took the phone, but as soon as the call connected, Yu Tiancheng’s furious shouting erupted from the receiver.

"Are you psycho...?"

The young woman imdiately frowned and cursed back. Just as she was about to hang up, Yu Chenghao’s eyes shot open and he snatched the phone from her.

"Idiot, shut up."

Yu Chenghao had naturally recognized his father’s voice on the other end. He imdiately put the phone to his ear and asked cautiously, "Dad? What’s wrong? It’s so early."

"You little bastard, you dare curse at ? You ask what’s wrong? Fucking look it up online yourself! Hurry up and get Ye Ling’s contact info—no, you contact him yourself, damn it! You’re at ho, right? I’m on my way over now. I’m taking you to see President Ye and we’re going to apologize in person!"

Yu Tiancheng was already seething, and being cursed at by so random woman sent him into a rage.

With that, he hung up.

Yu Chenghao was stunned. He shoved the two models away from him. "You two idiots, get lost, quick! My dad’s on his way!"

Sensing that sothing was wrong, the two models scrambled to put on their clothes and quickly left.

Yu Chenghao, for his part, opened his laptop. The mont he launched his browser, before he could even type anything, a swarm of push notifications flooded his screen.

"Yu Group Stock Plumts!"

"Shengding Group to Launch Tender Offer for Yu Group!"

"Special Task Force Seals Off Yu Group, Investigation Underway!"

At that mont, Yu Chenghao felt paralyzed. His eyes were wide with disbelief.

He didn’t know the specifics of what had happened, but he knew one thing for sure: the Yu Group was done for.

「At Ye Ling’s house.」

Ning Ruoxi was idly scrolling through social dia when she stumbled upon the news about the Yu Group. "Yueyue! Yueyue! Quick, co look at this!"

Ning Ruoxi imdiately ran barefoot into Luo Yue’s room and shook awake Luo Yue, who had been sleeping like a log.

"Ugh, you anie, Ruoruo, what are you doing...? It’s so early. If you’re bored, go bother your man."

Luo Yue whined resentfully.

"What are you talking about? Just look at this!"

Ning Ruoxi pouted and handed the tablet to Luo Yue.

Luo Yue casually scrolled through it, and in an instant, all her sleepiness vanished.

"Holy shit!"

Luo Yue’s eyes were wide as saucers.
