Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!-Chapter 275 - 13: The Disabled Tycoon’s Ex-Wife Refuses to Be a Scapegoat (13)
[Looking for a bed like Yu’s, a deep sleep enthusiast can’t resist it at all!]
[Unless I’m mistaken, it should be this brand from Italy, not too expensive, just over three million.]
[Sorry, I was reckless, I’m not worthy.]
[This isn’t just the level of an ordinary wealthy woman, is it? A bed for over three million, and it’s the basic model. Hers doesn’t look like the basic model, does it?]
[I never expected the singer I’ve liked for so many years to be so rich. I used to say I’d keep Yu as my own.]
[So rich and so excellent, amazing!!]
Seeing the comments below, Ruan Tian felt an inexplicable sense of pleasure deep down. It was a feeling she never had before, a sense of fulfillment from the depths of her soul, making her realize for the first time how magical and mesmerizing wealth can be.
Everyone lives for desire.
Ruan Tian enjoyed it with peace of mind because she believed no one could refuse being admired and praised.
She was one of those people anyway, so why hide it?
Yet, looking at everything in front of her, she still felt a dreamlike sense of unreality.
At the same time, she felt even more unwilling and resentful towards Jiang Han, not just for taking the life that belonged to her, but for continuing to trample her into the dust.
The fear of losing everything made Ruan Tian anxious and worried all the time, so she decided she must do something before Jiang Han could hurt her, just in case.
——
Jiang Group Headquarters, Chairman’s Office.
Looking at the recent newspaper, Father Jiang slightly frowned, took off his glasses, and sighed.
"Business is hard these days. Leigou Network has applied for bankruptcy liquidation, and now waiting for someone to take over this mess won’t be easy."
The acquisition department’s director beside him nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, Leigou Network is facing liquidation now, but there should still be companies considering taking advantage at this time. After all, Leigou Network’s previous market value was nearly sixty billion, and now with the split and liquidation, the estimated market value has shrunk to less than twenty billion."
Father Jiang looked on, feeling a sense of crisis as if his lips had been snatched away.
"Blind acquisition and overspending, isn’t this just courting disaster?"
After speaking, Father Jiang threw the newspaper aside and planned to continue reading today’s documents. At this moment, the secretary outside walked in with a phone in hand.
"Chairman, President Jiang is calling you."
"She still remembers to call me?"
Though he said that, he was still happy to pick up, getting into character.
"Mm, speak."
"Dad, I’ve got good news for you."
"Mm."
Father Jiang considered himself immune to everything at this point, and no matter what his troublemaking daughter did, he wouldn’t be surprised.
But on the other end, Jiang Lai spoke in a lighthearted tone.
"Dad, you heard about Leigou Network’s bankruptcy, right?"
"I know, what’s up?"
"Such a great opportunity, do you know what to do?"
Father Jiang was stunned.
"What great opportunity?"
"A company worth sixty billion now costs as much as cabbage. Isn’t it almost like giving it away? Buy it."
"..."
Father Jiang took a deep breath, barely holding his trembling hand, suppressing the anger inside him.
"You think you’re buying cabbages? You brat, are you deliberately trying to provoke me?"
"Absolutely not, I’m calmly informing you."
"Informing me?"
"Yeah, because I’ve already gone to bid. I hope you’ll lend a hand if necessary."
"..."
Father Jiang clutched his chest.
"Bidding? What are you using to bid on a company worth twenty billion?"
"Don’t worry about that. I have thirty percent of the bid money. I just want to give it a try."
"You... you, wicked child!!"
Father Jiang didn’t know what to say, almost wishing he could drag Jiang Lai over the phone to scold her.
"Where did you get so much money!"
Thirty percent, that’s six billion, where did this brat get so much liquid capital from!
"Jiang Lai, did you sell the company behind my back?"
"Your crappy company isn’t worth much anyway, but that’s a good idea. Selling it might raise some funds."
"Jiang Lai!!"
Afraid that the old man might actually get so angry he’d have a heart attack, Jiang Lai softened her tone.
"Didn’t I notify you in advance? Besides, when have my decisions ever been wrong? Just lend me some money, I’ll return it exactly as it is in three days, okay?"
"First tell me, where did all that money come from?"
"I invested in some small projects abroad."
Father Jiang frowned.
"Small projects? What small projects are making this much money?"
Even a mint can’t make money as quickly as Jiang Lai.
"I bought some stocks. They were thirty euros a share when I bought them, and six thousand per share when I sold them."
Father Jiang stood there, too shocked to speak.
"Twenty times increase?!"
"Yeah, lucky me."
"How much did you buy?"
"Maximum shares, over thirty thousand."
"..."
Father Jiang was silent for a long time on the phone.
He knew that with such a fluctuation in stock price, but that stock wasn’t favored. Many people had indeed hopped on the bandwagon when it was surging initially, but it plummeted at its peak, causing many retail investors to lose everything, with numerous companies going bankrupt as a result.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Lai had also bought it.
And she hadn’t even told him!
"Then, after selling those securities and stocks, what did you do with the money?"
"I’m investing in a long-term project. I’ll tell you once it makes money. So, Dad, your money in the bank isn’t as safe as putting it with me, you know? I can make your money grow, make more money, take the Jiang Family to a new level."
This time, Father Jiang had to be convinced. Within just a few months, Jiang Lai earned almost as much as the entire group, all through short-term, high-risk, high-return investments. Father Jiang even suspected she could predict the future.
"So, lend me some money."
"How much?"
"The more the better, you know."
After hanging up, Father Jiang suddenly felt an emptiness.
That night, back home, Jiang’s mother noticed his unusual expression and actively asked.
"What’s wrong? Something happen at work?"
"Your daughter."
"Lai Lai? What did she do now?"
Ruan Tian was also sitting on the sofa besides Jiang’s mother watching TV. Hearing them chat, she instinctively started listening closely.
As usual, Father Jiang briefly mentioned the events of the day. Although the details were unclear, she understood the general idea.
"Lai Lai wants to bid for Leigou Network? How much would that cost?"
"The bid is two hundred billion."
"Two hundred billion?!"
Jiang’s mother was so shocked, she dropped the apple in her hand.
"Where would she get that much money?"
"Of course, she doesn’t have that much money. That’s why she called me."
This time, even Jiang’s mother thought it was unreliable, given the massive amount involved—it was nearly the group’s quarterly revenue.
Beside them, Ruan Tian widened her eyes looking at Father Jiang.
To her, two hundred billion was a number she couldn’t even imagine, a complete astronomical figure, and Jiang Lai was asking for two hundred billion just like that?!
