NOVEL NEXT Chapter 2879: Had Basically Let a Wolf Into the House
Ning Shu suspected that Bai Hanmo intended to take advantage of the situation and merge the Ding family’s company with his own.
There were many ways to save the company—why did it have to be an acquisition?
No one here was a fool, so Ning Shu had serious doubts about Bai Hanmo’s true intentions.
If that was really what Bai Hanmo had been after all along, then Ding Yan had basically let a wolf into the house.
The Ding family’s company wasn’t small. It was publicly traded, and if Bai Hanmo did acquire it, the amount involved would be no small number.
Ning Shu sipped her water, calmly watching how things unfolded.
Even if Bai Hanmo wanted to take over the company, it wouldn’t be easy, especially with all the directors present. Every decision the company made would affect each director’s bottom line.
Ning Shu handed a glass of water to Mother Ding, who silently accepted it and drank, maintaining her composure amid the chaos.
Ding Yan was truly caught off guard.
Not only was he unable to handle the company’s directors, but the Ding family’s entire industry was on the verge of becoming someone else’s.Ning Shu watched Bai Hanmo, who always acted like he was the most powerful and extraordinary person in the room.
Director Chen was the first to speak up, “Chairman Ding, you didn’t even consult us before selling the company?”
Ding Yan: Damn it, I just found out myself…
Ding Yan felt miserable.
Bai Hanmo chimed in: “This company belongs to the Ding family, but from now on, it will be under the Bai family’s banner and protected by us.”
Bai Hanmo made it sound nice, but essentially, he was turning the Ding family’s company into a subsidiary.
From that point on, it would be controlled by the Bai family, with all major decisions needing approval from their higher-ups.
It could potentially bring the company to new heights, giving the Ding family a boost, but there was also the risk it would become insignificant.
Ding Yan struggled to respond, feeling stabs from all the gazes of the shareholders who were watching him.
He tried to give Ding Ningdie a meaningful look. When she noticed, she immediately said, “Dad, Hanmo will definitely fix everything.”
Ding Yan: …
The board didn’t agree to sell the company, and after a lot of back and forth, the meeting couldn’t proceed.
In the end, the company wasn’t sold, and Ding Yan kept his position as chairman.
The meeting ended in chaos. Though Ding Yan remained in his role, Bai Hanmo’s actions left many feeling uneasy.
As they left the company, Mother Ding laughed, “Your father really shot himself in the foot this time.”
Ning Shu just smiled. What was this called?
If you didn’t stay grounded and got involved in unnecessary things, this was the result.
There was no such thing as a free lunch.
People who always tried to take advantage and find shortcuts would end up paying back double the price.
Ding Ningdie’s heart was probably only filled with Bai Hanmo now.
She was going to marry him, so Bai Hanmo would be her everything. Before, she curried favor with Ding Yan because she wanted a good life.
But now, Ding Ningdie had someone else to take care of her.
If Bai Hanmo was really set on acquiring the company, Ding Ningdie would definitely stand by his side.
After all, Bai Hanmo would be the one supporting her for the rest of her life.
Ding Ningdie was like a parasitic vine, clinging to a big tree.
Ding Yan must be incredibly frustrated right now.
Served him right.
Ning Shu and Mother Ding got into the car, ready to head home.
Ning Shu glanced in the rearview mirror and turned the steering wheel.
Mother Ding looked out the window and asked, “Where are we going?”
Ning Shu, without changing her expression, replied, “Let’s go get something to eat. I’m a little hungry.”
Mother Ding nodded, “Even though there was a bit of a situation, the end result wasn’t much different. Your father’s probably really upset right now.”
