Pei Yan hadnât yet fully grasped the situation when a voice emanated from the phone.
It was a young male voice, slightly irritable yet tinged with a Western accent.
âLin City, Pei family, your domain is pharmaceuticals, right?â
Pei Yan, still in a daze, replied, âYes, pharmaceuticals, weâ¦â
âAlright, RS hasnât invested heavily in pharmaceuticals yet, so itâs your turn. The contract will be sent directly to your companyâs email,â the young man spoke casually, then paused, his voice tightening, âLet the person from before take the call!â
Pei Yan, his expression dazed, discerned the underlying intent of âwishing to kill someoneâ in these words.
What had Miss Si done?
âIâm a bit busy this time,â Si Fuqing picked up the phone, her tone leisurely,
âIâm going to hang up, Iâll call you back later. A promise is a promise.â
âHey! Youââ
The call was ruthlessly disconnected.
Pei Yan was bewildered.
Had Miss Sijust spoken to a man?
âSi Fuqing, I know youâre young and involved in the entertainment industry, obviously with many tricks up your sleeve,â Elder Qi spoke sternly, âBut what do you take the business world for? Do you think a simple phone call and some acting is all it takes to secure an investment? Ridiculous!â
The other shareholders were equally disapproving, their expressions full of disdain.
âPei Yan, youâve truly disappointed me,â Elder Qiâs voice grew colder. âYou let an outsider meddle in the Pei familyâs affairs and put on a show here! Youâve dishonored your fatherâs teachings!â
âUncle Qi, you see? Pei Yan indeed is unfit for the chairmanâs position,â Pei Xu scoffed. âThat phone call was a farce, wasnât it? Would the Duke of Muston agree without even asking?â
Pure fantasy!
Ifsecuring RSS investment was so easy, why would it ever come to them?
âLetâs sign a new agreement, â Si Fuqing remained calm, âPei Yan, bring it out.â Without hesitation, Pei Yan produced two prepared contracts.
âCome, sign it,â Si Fuqing leaned forward, smiling slightly, âIf the investment I secured is from RS, youâll have to give up your shares. If not, Iâll give you the 2
billion I got from the Zuo family.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
This statement shocked the shareholders.
Pei Yan too was startled, hurriedly saying, âMiss Si, you mustnât do this! â Pei Xu and Elder Qi exchanged glances, pondering for a few seconds.
âNo problem,â Pei Xu signed his name generously, âI didnât expect the Zuo family to be so kind to you, willing to put up 2 billion.â
Such naivety.
Daring to gamble 20 billion with no business acumen to speak of, she was no match for Zuo Xianyu.
Elder Qi also signed the new contract, commenting, âMiss Si, youâre young, and itâs okay to stumble and learn. I hope this incident teaches you a lesson.â
Si Fuqing glanced at them, too indifferent to nod, âKeep it safe.â
âPei Yan, are you out of your mind?â Pei Xu chuckled disdainfully. âDonât you know the Zuo family kicked her out? Yet you rush to her side, I really donât understandââ
His words were interrupted by urgent knocking.
The sales director burst in, almost dancing with excitement, âChairman Pei!
The investment has arrived! From RS!â
The statement once again silenced the boardroom.
âWhat RS investment?â Pei Xu stood up furiously. âAre you all in on this act?!â
âAn act? No, no!â the sales director shook his head frantically, âThe contract is sent, and the money has been transferred, 10 billion! And itâs just the initial funding!â
Pei Yan stood up, eyes wide in disbelief.
Si Fuqing remained calm, merely sighing, âTruly wealthy.â
No wonder her fellow accountants at the sect used to cling to her senior brothers and sister, begging for money. With her sixth brother being so rich, reimbursement was never an issue.
The sales director hurriedly took the laptop from the assistant, âLook, Chairman Pei!â
The email, sent just a minute ago, bore RS Groupâs logo and the personal seal of the Duke of Muston.
Clearly, the investment had arrived immediately after the phone call ended.
Ignoring the possibility of RS Group being impersonated, who would casually throw around 10 billion?
âBang!â
Pei Xu staggered backward, collapsing into a chair, his face turning ashen in an instant..
