Chapter 26: Things That Belong to You
Ruan Corporation convened an emergency shareholders’ meeting.
The overhead lights of the conference room cast a halo on the projection screen. The content on the screen caused Ruan Ying’s hand holding the documents to tighten suddenly. Ruan Jianming’s shareholding structure diagram was constantly magnified on the screen.
The 17% shares originally belonging to this vegetative shareholder were now marked with red text: “Transferred to Zhiyi Investment.”
“President Ruan, this is the change of collateral document received this morning. The signature and fingerprint on the transfer agreement have been authenticated to belong to Mr. Ruan Jianming himself.” The assistant handed the document to Ruan Ying.
Ruan Ying’s nails dug into her palm. The feeling of a splitting headache attacked fiercely again. She took a deep breath, trying hard to calm down.
“President Ruan, the legal department has also verified it. Zhiyi Investment is a new overseas investment enterprise under the ZY Group, that is, Zenit & Yield.”
The legal department manager’s face was a bit pale, and his tone was slower.
“The share transfer process fully complies with legal regulations. Given Mr. Ruan’s current situation… an investigation requires an application from Mr. Ruan himself. Currently, we cannot apply for a review.”
Whispers instantly broke out in the conference room. Ruan Yi looked at her mother worriedly, trying to recall this part of the plot from her chaotic memory.
Why just couldn’t she remember…
This damn novel didn’t treat her, the vicious female supporting character, as a human at all. How could rebirth come with the deprivation of past life memories?
It was equivalent to taking away her only “golden finger” (cheat/advantage). Besides, those were memories she had experienced herself; they didn’t even count as a “silver finger.”
Ruan Yi’s small face wrinkled into a ball from bitterness. It couldn’t be said she completely lost her memory; it was more like memory confusion. She remembered certain key points clearly.
She only remembered that later the Ruan Corporation wasn’t affected much, but she couldn’t remember at all how her mother overcame this difficulty.
Ruan Ying slammed the folder heavily onto the long table. The impact shook the water cups, causing ripples.
“If there was a valid reason, the group would fully bear Ruan Jianming’s medical expenses. But now, assets under his name have been transferred, and the group has suffered huge losses. This is a malicious violation event.”
The air in the conference room tightened abruptly. Rustling exchanges accompanied by panic instantly filled every corner.
“However, I have a solution!”
Ruan Ying swiped the stylus. Macau casino transaction records instantly covered the entire wall. The whole room was in an uproar.
“Ruan Jianming’s good son. Over the past eighteen months, he embezzled 80 million in public funds through seven shell companies, of which 58 million eventually flowed into the Macau gambling industry.”
She turned suddenly, her gaze like a poison-dipped arrow pinning onto the face of the hedonistic son slumped in the leather chair.
“Zheng Yi, you need to give the group an explanation. Do you need me to also release the surveillance footage of you losing even your underwear?”
The enchanting woman beside Ruan Zhengyi was just about to stand up and argue when Ruan Ying threw another document in front of her.
“Ms. Wang Yanqin, as the Financial Director, not only tacitly approved the transfer of funds but also took illegal cuts through offshore accounts!” The document hit the table with a muffled thud.
“According to the company’s articles of association, as the company’s largest shareholder, I propose to immediately strip both of their shareholder qualifications, freeze, and reclaim all equity.”
“The public funds embezzled by Ruan Zhengyi, Wang Yanqin’s illegal cuts, and the market value loss of 320 million caused by the equity transfer.”
The air carried the oppressive force of her authority. The conference table was slapped, the loud noise making everyone shudder.
“This money, your family of three must spit it out with interest.”
Wang Yanqin screamed and stood up, her exquisitely maintained face turning liver-colored. “Ruan Ying, on what grounds! Zhengyi is your nephew; we are shareholders!”
Too lazy to waste more breath on these two stupid pigs, she pressed the remote control. Information on the real estate, luxury cars, and overseas accounts under the three names poured out like a waterfall on the screen. The extravagance was so excessive it made people gasp.
“I will apply for property preservation and freeze all your liquid assets. As for these real estate properties… the auction house is already on the way.”
“Whether it’s private yachts or manors, every piece of stolen goods will be marked with a price tag. If the auction proceeds are insufficient to repay the debt…”
“You can spend the rest of your lives working in the ‘parks’ (scam compounds/labor camps) to pay off the debt.”
Just as the two were preparing to lie on the ground and throw a tantrum, Ruan Ying waved her hand to signal. Several bodyguards appeared, covered their mouths, and dragged them away.
The judgment document was slapped onto the table. Under Ruan Ying’s cold gaze, the noise of the shareholders’ meeting came to an abrupt halt.
No one objected; passed unanimously.
The meeting ended. Some were admiring, some relieved, and even more were guilty and panicked, busy leaving.
Oh my god… Mom is too cool!
Ruan Yi covered her mouth, her face flushed with excitement.
“Mom!” The girl threw herself fiercely into the embrace of the black suit, imprinting a pink kiss on her mother’s cheek.
“Mom is so amazing, too domineering!”
Ruan Yi’s coquettish flattery was exceptionally clear in the quiet conference room. A few shareholders who hadn’t left yet couldn’t help but smile.
Ruan Ying’s tense back softened, and she stroked Ruan Yi’s head.
“Xiao Yi will be this amazing in the future too. Mom will never let anyone touch the things that belong to you.”
Ruan Ying gently pinched her daughter’s soft cheek.
“The capital chain is patched up, but the equity Uncle Ruan transferred…”
Ruan Yi could see that the problem seemed solved, but in reality, it wasn’t. Ruan Jianming had become a vegetable, no different from a dead person to the group.
Ruan Jianming handled the equity pledge and transfer agreement privately with full authority. The Ruan Corporation couldn’t find any loopholes in Zhiyi Investment.
If they wanted to fight a lawsuit without evidence or the party involved testifying, the probability of successfully revoking the agreement approached infinitely zero.
“I will try to contact Zhiyi Investment. As long as the other party doesn’t have greater ambitions, it’s already the best outcome. As for the equity… Ruan Corporation has to suffer in silence.”
Ruan Yi felt a bit sad hearing her mother’s words.
That was 17% of the shares, gleaming white silver!
Just went into a stranger’s hands like that? reckless waste of god’s gifts!
This dead Uncle Ruan. He was already bad enough, and before becoming a vegetable, he pitted the Ruan Corporation for such a big sum.
Next time she would definitely pretend to visit the hospital, but actually secretly pinch his inner thigh!
Ruan Yi remained depressed until she returned home.
The moment she stepped into the living room, the man guarding the sofa stood up almost like an arrow leaving the string without thinking. Striding with long legs, he walked toward Ruan Yi in two or three steps.
His hand with well-defined knuckles familiarly went to take Ruan Yi’s bag. “Sister, how is the company situation…”
His trailing note was abruptly cut off in his throat. Gu Zhi lowered his eyes to stare at her unhappy face. His fingertips hung in mid-air, and his brows, which originally held a smile, furrowed slightly.
Like a large dog enthusiastically welcoming its owner home discovering the owner is unhappy.
Ruan Yi wasn’t in the mood to pay attention to her brother.
As soon as she touched the sofa, Gu Zhi was already kneeling on one knee on the carpet in front of the sofa. His fingers took off her nude-pink small high heels, and his finger pads gently rubbed her reddened arch.
“No matter what happened, tell me first, okay?”
He pulled a scented wet wipe from his pocket and touched the girl’s delicate skin.
Using his finger pads to gently press Ruan Yi’s somewhat sore forefoot, rubbing in circles with his thumb, his warm large palm completely wrapped her somewhat cold foot.
Ruan Yi’s expression seemed to relax a bit. He could detect Ruan Yi’s tense muscles gradually loosening.
When the wet wipe wiped across her forefoot, he deliberately pressed his thumb into the sensitive gap between her toes, tickling her until she curled her toes.
The girl uncontrollably let out a light hum.
The man’s gaze licked inch by inch over her slightly parted, lustrous pink lips. His Adam’s apple rolled, his voice carrying a tenderness that made one drown.
“Sister, Ah Zhi wants to listen.”
