Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 1088: In Old Age (7)

Hu Jialu was just stunned for a moment and hurriedly exclaimed, "This, this, I’m afraid it’s absolutely not allowed, one should not receive a reward without merit—"

If Gu Nuan’s plan fails, wouldn’t he become the scapegoat.

Gu Nuan merely glanced at him lightly, "Why is General Manager Hu so modest? Back when you took a bullet for Chairman Xiao, did you think about these things."

Hu Jialu was left speechless.

All these words and matters were conducted in front of Qia Ran.

The acquisition of his company by Changda was thus shelved.

Moreover, according to the development plan Hu Jialu received, Gu Nuan had already made a move on that piece of land.

The swiftness of it far exceeded everyone’s expectations.

Soon, including Chairman Zhan, Rogers, and Ou Chunhua, all knew that Gu Nuan seemed to have taken the bait.

But this bait taken by Gu Nuan was completely against their wishes, because Gu Nuan showed no intention of confronting other competitors directly, instead, she boldly handled it, immediately smoothing out government relationships, and secured the land from the court at a heavy price. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

The price Gu Nuan paid, in the eyes of Chairman Zhan and the others, no matter how calculated, was a loss.

Chairman Zhan was dumbfounded.

Rogers called in his secretary Jim and chattered incessantly, "What exactly does this woman want to do? I can’t figure out what she’s thinking anymore."

"Why not ask Mrs. Ou. Mrs. Ou seems to know her better." Jim suggested.

Ou Chunhua, in fact, had been locked in her bedroom for an entire day, pacing back and forth, feeling uneasy.

Her intuition told her, Gu Nuan is definitely not that foolish.

Gu Nuan is not the kind of person to do a losing business.

The news that followed didn’t just astonish these people, it affected the villagers, including the Gu Family, whose land was requisitioned due to the new district development.

It was said that the big boss buying the land wanted the villagers to have money for a good New Year, generously agreeing to the villagers’ demand for a one-time huge compensation package.

Villagers are usually like this; when they see money, they go crazy. Someone early on said that their lands weren’t really good and wouldn’t appreciate in value. With a fool coming to buy, how could they not sell immediately.

Before the New Year, in less than a week, all villagers had signed the relevant land contracts.

Simultaneously, Chairman Zhan seized the opportunity to act. Because, if delayed any longer, some of the stock markets might close due to the Spring Festival.

Changda’s stock, within three days, plummeted 40% in value.

Many people said Changda was going to collapse.

This frightening situation was such that even those small and medium investors did not dare to average down. Investment institutions did not dare to take action easily, afraid of becoming the final bag holder.

Because everywhere there were bad news broadcasts about Changda, it was a collective explosive-style news, bombing everyone into fear.

Like Changda internal staff infighting, someone was kidnapped and disappeared, the new chairman lacked the ability for internal company reform, causing morale to crumble, performance stagnation, business halt, and company profit halved within three months. The most terrifying was the rumor that the new chairman’s health seemed to be poor, potentially losing his life at any time. By then, Changda would collapse beyond control.

Banks were tightening loans to Changda. Such a series of bad information filled various news sections, becoming a hot topic throughout the finance community.

Those few days, there were even people saying: whoever really goes to take over Changda’s stocks, would be the greatest philanthropist in the world.
