Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 358: Someone is full and bloated.
"What did you say?"
David, far away in Eagle, burst into laughter upon hearing the intelligence officer’s report, "Such an incident happened at the banquet?"
"That’s right." The person below also reveled in schadenfreude, "We had so many businessmen from Eagle right there on the scene, and they all saw the lady’s friend being doused in wine, turning Philip’s face green."
David and Singh became interested, "What exactly happened?"
The person below elaborated on the whole situation, "That woman is Sovas from O’laya. Recently, she hired an Alchemist apprentice to develop a whitening product for Yuanxue Company without permission. It appears she was discovered by Yuanxue Company and punished through the Pill Association. Afterward, no apprentice dared to develop medicine for her family, and then Yuanxue Company also cut off the technical support they originally provided to O’laya. With this double blow, O’laya’s market value crashed from over 20 billion US Dollars to less than 5 billion US Dollars."
"Sovas is really foolish. As a former senior member of the legacy organizations, when she realized that so many connections were unwilling to help her, she should have recognized the background of Yuanxue Company."
Singh scoffed coldly, "A woman’s place is home, after all; with her level, she definitely couldn’t reach the circles of the lady. Of course, she wouldn’t know that Miss Liu and Jiang Xue are close friends of the lady."
The Meilong Family Head also ridiculed Sovas’s foolish actions, "Without political connections, she definitely couldn’t know that behind the five beauty industry companies in Dragon Nation, it’s the Meiyue Group that is supporting and providing. Isn’t it the same as saying that these five companies belong to the lady?"
Originally, Meiyue was afraid that the products of the five companies might face antitrust issues overseas, so they never publicly disclosed that Meiyue was the major shareholder, belonging to one boss.
But later, after Europe and Eagle split into two major powers, they successfully sided with Gu Feng. Even when people became aware of this, no one dared to mention it.
Master Texas wondered, "I remember when the Europe powers were giving the boss the equity of the industries, it included the equity of many luxury companies in Europe as well, right?"
The subordinate responsible for financial data chuckled, "Indeed, equity of groups like LV was given to the lady, but O’laya at that time had already dropped to 20 billion US Dollars in stock equity, and was considered an unimpressive, destitute group, so they didn’t give the company’s equity to the lady."
The group couldn’t hold back their laughter anymore, "Hahahahaha."
Originally, they knew that the Windsor monarchs, as the leaders of this group, had prepared a gift list in advance when they first went to meet the boss.
The list summed up the equity of some top manufacturing and luxury goods groups in Europe, nearly 1 trillion US Dollars in market value.
It just so happened that O’laya was missed, and it was this old woman who caused trouble.
David said, "I reckon the Windsor royal family must hate the Beaufort family to death. To ruin the mood of the lady at their own banquet, this incident is a disgrace for the entire Europe power bloc, and will surely leave a bad impression of them in the lady’s mind."
Singh’s smile narrowed his eyes to slits, "They took our industries and poached our soldiers. I thought I had a better opinion of these old allies after these two strategic moves, but they ended up tripping themselves up." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
That very night.
In Europe, deep within the dungeon.
The core high-ups of the Beaufort family had a gloomy expression as they looked at the panicked Sovas, who was now fully aware of her remorse.
After they informed her that Liu Yuan and Jiang Xue were close friends brought by the lady, Sovas knew she had done something unforgivable.
She also understood the organization’s methods, so now she was crying her eyes out and kneeling there, begging for their murderous intent to be lessened, "I am willing to give all of the company’s stock to Miss Liu to express my regret. I only hope you won’t harm my family, and I am willing to take the responsibility myself!"
She knew all too well the way the people in front of her dealt with things.
This issue could be big or small, but once it was escalated to involve the lady, it became very significant!
At the first banquet jointly hosted by the two major camps after the legacy organizations disbanded, aiming to please the lady and win over the boss, it was their Europe faction that had a mishap.
This could potentially affect and face shares in the future universe-scale big projects; not even sacrificing Sovas would be enough to quell their rage!
In Sovas’s eyes, at this stage, she no longer dared to have any extravagant hopes for the company.
The dividends her family received over the years would be enough for them to live like second-generation rich kids; she hoped her affairs would not affect her family.
"Previously, when the Yuanxue Company presented me with a lowball takeover offer, I felt they were trying to exploit the situation to their advantage. That’s why I harbored resentment against Miss Liu, the backstage shareholder of Yuanxue, and couldn’t restrain myself from taking revenge on her at the banquet."
When these words reached Liu Yuan, she was in her hotel room, and Jiang Xue by her side was also shocked.
Could it be that the two of them didn’t know about this?
They were unaware of the acquisition offer the company had made to O’laya.
Jiang Xue demanded, "Is this true? How do you prove it?"
The key executives of the direct line of the Beaufort family had no choice but to bring Sovas over.
After Sovas presented the fax of the offer and the recorded phone call to them, Liu Yuan and Jiang Xue’s faces turned unsightly.
This was someone in the company trying to score their own gain!
The CEO!
That is, the president who works for the two of them!
No matter how unprosperous O’laya was, it still held a stable market share of around 10% globally.
Someone took advantage of the situation, knowing that O’laya was no match for the entire circle, and boldly put forward an outrageously low price of one billion US dollars to force the acquisition.
Sovas’ own act of backstabbing and secretly developing technology was wrong, but Jiang Xue and Liu Yuan were even more infuriated that someone within the company dared to do this!
The group’s president might not be able to come up with a billion US dollars, but she could raise funds and borrow money from people she knew in the circle!
Just one billion to take over O’laya, and afterwards, continue to restore technological support, O’laya could still return to a market valuation of 20 billion US dollars, effectively turning their investment money 20 times over!
Jiang Xue turned to look at her secretary whose face was also deathly pale.
She wasn’t involved in this, but the fact that she was unaware and didn’t report to her boss indicated a competence issue with her work!
"Miss Liu, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me. I am willing to give the group to your company for free as my apology. Please save me, and do not bring calamity upon my family!"
Sovas knew this was her last chance.
She knelt down before Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan heard Sovas’ hysterical plea for help and immediately turned to the people from the Beaufort family, "How do you wish to deal with this lady?"
The people from the Beaufort family could only tell the truth, "She offended you, which means she offended the lady as well. She ought to vanish; it depends on how Miss Liu wants to handle her."
Lin Yue, who had been silent the whole time, spoke on behalf of Liu Yuan, "There’s no need for the person to vanish. Compensating the group to my friend as an apology will suffice."
Having said that, Lin Yue stood up, and everyone immediately bowed deeply.
Before leaving, she glanced at the Beaufort family members and snorted lightly, "Give this Madame Sovas a sum of money—the money will come from you. Afterwards, I expect her to be alive!"
"Yes!" the people from the Beaufort family all replied respectfully and then proceeded to see Lin Yue out with great deference.
"Thank you, Madame. Gratitude, Madame!" Sovas, tears of gratitude streaming down her face, began to kowtow earnestly.
After the dust settled, Jiang Xue and Liu Yuan stayed in the hotel room, their gazes turning colder as they pondered how to deal with the CEO back home.
