Chapter 843: Selling Shares
Ye Shikai couldn't help but start cursing himself internally. Why, whenever Chen Yuxin's name was mentioned, would he instinctively guess her intentions and defensively react, as if guarding against a thief? Ye Shikai didn't understand why he had become like this. Whenever he thought of the past, he began to blame himself. Couldn't he give Chen Yuxin a bit more warmth from the bottom of his heart?
"What's the matter with you?" Su Qingyu keenly sensed something was wrong. Ye Shikai coughed lightly, waving his hand.
"It's nothing."
Speaking of which, why did Chen Yuxin seek out Su Qingyu for cooperation? This was what Ye Shikai was most curious about.
"What do you think?" Su Qingyu blinked her big eyes, seemingly waiting for Ye Shikai's opinion. This made him feel uneasy all over.
"I... don't understand business matters. You decide for yourself." Ye Shikai replied awkwardly, trying to brush it off. One was his ex-girlfriend, the other his current wife; it was best for him to stay neutral.
"But I just want to hear your opinion." Su Qingyu was very persistent. Ye Shikai was beginning to feel puzzled. Su Qingyu clearly knew the special relationship between him and Chen Yuxin, so why did she insist on having Ye Shikai express an opinion on this matter?
"Qingyu, why do you have to ask me?" Ye Shikai was very troubled.
"I know about your relationship with her, so I specifically want to ask your opinion." Su Qingyu spoke calmly. The "her" in her mouth naturally referred to Chen Yuxin. Ye Shikai's evasive attitude seemed to make Su Qingyu a little displeased.
"But doesn't that put me in a difficult position?"
"If you are unwilling to state your position, I won't force you." Su Qingyu conceded, somewhat disappointed, quietly putting away the contract, ready to leave.
"Wait a minute." Suddenly, a voice sounded behind Su Qingyu. Just as she turned her head, she felt herself being pulled into an embrace.
The sudden kiss caught Su Qingyu off guard, but as she regained her senses, she also put away her instinctive resistance, closed her eyes, and responded to Ye Shikai's affection with her own kiss.
"Qingyu, no matter what you do, I will support you," Ye Shikai whispered in her ear. All Su Qingyu wanted was a word of support, a statement of position. Ye Shikai could give it, and he would definitely give it.
"Thank you."
"Alright, tell me what the contract is about." For some reason, after the kiss, Ye Shikai's mentality became much more open and he asked directly.
"It's about acquiring shares."
"What shares?"
"Chen Group wants to acquire some shares of the Tianya Group. This is the share acquisition intention letter," Su Qingyu said flatly. "These days, Miss Chen has acquired some shares from some shareholders, and she also sent me a copy, wanting to acquire three percent of the shares I hold."
"What's she going to do with the shares?" Ye Shikai was very puzzled.
"The group is experiencing a bottleneck in development. Many of the company's shareholders are complacent and lazy. Miss Chen acquiring their shares can help the company, and the Chen Group has better connections. Actually, I'm not opposed to it."
"Then agree to it. Three percent of the shares for one and a half billion, which is above the market price," Ye Shikai nodded. Su Qingyu actually already had an idea. All she wanted was Ye Shikai's word of support.
"With this, she'll have fifteen percent of the shares." Su Qingyu murmured. Ye Shikai knew a bit about Tianya Group. Su Qingyu held thirty percent of the group's shares, An Lan had eighteen percent, and the rest were in the hands of various large and small shareholders.
If Su Qingyu signed the contract, she would have twenty-seven percent of the shares left, but she would still be the largest shareholder of the company, and with An Lan's support, her position wouldn't be shaken.
Lying on the bed, Ye Shikai was still "preoccupied" with the contract matter. What exactly did Chen Yuxin want to do? Acquiring shares, did she intend to be unfavorable towards Su Qingyu? Ye Shikai shook his head. How could he think of her like this? Ye Shikai heavily hammered his own head.
"What's wrong with you? You seem preoccupied," Su Qingyu approached, just in time to see this scene, and asked curiously.
"Nothing, just a bit of a headache." Ye Shikai quickly lay down, brushing off her concern.
"You've finally finished the case. You should get some rest."
"Qingyu, I think..." Ye Shikai wanted to speak, but bit back his words.
"What's the matter?" Su Qingyu saw Ye Shikai hesitating to speak and couldn't help but feel curious.
"I feel that the contract..."
"What's wrong? Do you think there's something wrong with it?" Su Qingyu asked.
"I think, you should consider it a little more."
....................................…
The next day.
Ye Shikai woke up early. Having not slept well the night before, he didn't feel like catching up on sleep. He drove to the hospital to visit Zhang Ting, who was hospitalized for injury recovery.
"You look like you haven't slept for a while with those dark circles," Zhang Ting, although covered in cast and bandages, was in high spirits. It seemed that recovery was the best vacation for her.
"Just some troubling matters, don't want to talk about it." Ye Shikai lay on the empty hospital bed beside him. Once at the hospital, he began to feel sleepy.
"Is it because of that escaped Mothman?" Zhang Ting seemed a bit scared, understandably so. Facing such a massive creature, any normal person's first instinct would be fear. Zhang Ting's mental strength was indeed good, but she was still apprehensive.
Ye Shikai fell into silence. The Mothman was a first-generation product of the HST project, unlike De, who needed regular medication to maintain life. If it really went into hiding, that would indeed be a troublesome matter.
"If I weren't bedridden right now, I'd take people to find it. Hiss..." Zhang Ting said viciously, but as soon as she spoke, she twisted the wound on her waist and sucked in a cold breath from the pain.
"Alright, alright, with how you are now, taking people to find it would just end up with you being sent back to the hospital," Ye Shikai placed his hand on her waist, warming her body with Inner Strength to ease her pain.
"How dare you look down on me."
"What do you mean, look down? Just stay in bed. I've taken extended leave for you from Mr. Song, three months. You can't go to the police station."
"Hmph, just lying here is really wasting life."
Ye Shikai didn't pay attention to Zhang Ting's complaints. He had other things to think about. If Boss Xing's base had more than just twelve, what then? Would he still be carrying out his plan? The scientific personnel they brought back were undergoing scrutiny, but because there were so many people, it would take a long time.
