Chapter 349: I Want Shares
Xu Mei explained in a panic, “Zhenguo, I wanted to save some money. I didn’t know the market price and thought that two million was enough. I didn’t expect hiring a hacker to cost so much money. I… I did it all for you!
“Actually, it’s okay. Even if we can’t get Black Tide, we can get someone else. Didn’t Moling leave us a few hackers’ contact details? I don’t believe that only Black Tide can help us!”
Qiao Zhenguo calmed down. When he thought about how Black Tide was not showing him any respect, he was also angry. Since that was the case, he would not look for Black Tide again to avoid being humiliated by her.
The two of them picked up their phones and made a few calls. However, whenever the other parties heard that they were Li City’s Qiao family, they all hung up rudely.
When they contacted the last person, Qiao Zhenguo could not help but say, “The offer price for this order is already very high. Why aren’t you accepting it?”
The other party snorted in disdain. “Mr. Qiao, you offended Black Tide and the entire hacker network. Do you think anyone will accept your order?
“Instead of wasting time on us, why don’t you quickly apologize to Black Tide?!”
Qiao Zhenguo’s face was pale. Xu Mei asked anxiously, “Zhenguo, what’s going on? They…”
Smack!
Qiao Zhenguo raised his hand and slapped Xu Mei hard.
“You jinx! Of all the people you could offend, you just had to offend Black Tide! Listen to what you’re saying. You’re just a shrew in the market! How did I marry a woman like you?! If Yunqiu were still around, she would definitely be able to handle all this trouble!
“Previously, it was Yunqiu who helped me manage the company, discuss business, meet clients, and do public relations. I didn’t have to worry about anything. What do you know? You only know how to spend money to create trouble for me! This time, you’ve offended Black Tide. You might offend someone else next time. Do you want to kill your daughter?”
Xu Mei widened her eyes in disbelief. They were filled with sorrow and anger.
Yunqiu? It had been so many years, yet Qiao Zhenguo still remembered that b*tch. He even compared her to that b*tch.
Before Xu Mei could retort, Qiao Zhenguo waved his hand in disgust. “Get lost! I don’t want to see you!”
Qiao Zhenguo suppressed his anger and calmed down before calling Black Tide again.
…
Qiao Xi looked at the caller ID and waited for a while before answering the call unhurriedly.
“Miss Black Tide, I apologize on behalf of Xu Mei. I’ve already reprimanded her. She’s a shrew. I hope you won’t stoop to her level. Rou Rou needs your help. As long as you agree, the price can be negotiated.”
Qiao Zhenguo said obsequiously, but there was silence on the other end.
He waited anxiously. After a long time, he heard a cold laugh.
Qiao Zhenguo was on edge. He was so nervous that his palms were sweating.
Black Tide said slowly, “Mr. Qiao, do you think I lack money?”
Qiao Zhenguo’s heart skipped a beat as he explained in horror, “Miss Black Tide, that’s not what I meant. As long as you can help Rou Rou, our Qiao family will definitely repay you in our next life!”
“Next life? Mr. Qiao, are you joking with me?”
Qiao Xi mocked. “What’s the point of talking about your next life if you owe someone a favor in this lifetime? Not to mention, a wicked family like yours might not have a next life.”
The atmosphere became awkward.
Qiao Zhenguo gritted his teeth. He heard Black Tide’s mockery but did not dare to retort.
Qiao Xi lay on the sofa and turned on the loudspeaker. “President Qiao, I’m a practical person. I don’t like empty talk. Do as you deem fit.”
Qiao Zhenguo gritted his teeth. “Miss Black Tide, you want…”
“The shares.” Qiao Xi went straight to the point. “Since Xu Mei offended me, I want all the shares in her hands.”
“Why would Xu Mei have…”
“You don’t want to give them to me?” Qiao Xi’s voice suddenly became icy-cold as she spoke firmly.
“After your first wife died, all the liquid assets fell into Xu Mei’s hands. Xu Mei bought 6% of Qiao Corporation’s shares with this money. Are you trying to deceive me?”
Qiao Zhenguo widened his eyes in disbelief.
Impossible! How did Black Tide know about this? Old Madam Qiao and Moling did not know this secret, so how did Black Tide know?
