"This is real?"

Su Dongshan nodded painfully.

I wanted to give you a surprise.

"surprise?"

Su Dahe laughed sarcastically.

"Dad, you're too naive. Do you think I'd just stand by and watch everything I've worked so hard for fall into someone else's hands?"

He straightened his tie and suddenly adopted a businesslike expression.

"Since we've come this far, I won't hide it from you anymore. Just yesterday, I acquired 17% of the group's shares through three offshore companies. Combined with my original 4%, I now hold 21% of Su's shares."

Su Dahai gasped.

"Where did you get so much money?"

"It does not matter."

Su Dahe took a stack of documents out of his briefcase.

"Importantly, according to the company's articles of association, shareholders holding more than 20% of the shares have the right to convene an extraordinary board meeting. Tomorrow at 10 a.m., I will propose the removal of Su Dongshan from his position as chairman."

Inside the meeting room, the air was so thick it felt like you could wring water out of it.

Su Dahe stood in front of the projection screen, dressed in a sharp suit, a smug smile on his lips.

He tapped the remote control with his finger, and a set of data charts popped up on the screen.

"Distinguished directors, according to the latest statistics, I currently hold 21% of the group's shares."

His voice was particularly jarring in the quiet conference room.

"This includes 12% acquired from the secondary market, and..."

He paused deliberately, his gaze sweeping over Susan, who was sitting in the corner.

"3% transferred by my dear sister."

Susan lowered her head, her fingers twisted together, her nails almost digging into her flesh.

"This is impossible!"

Su Dongshan slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly, his face turning deathly pale.

He coughed violently, and a dark red stain immediately spread across his handkerchief.

"What about Mr. Xu's 20% stake? He promised it."

"Mr. Xu?"

Su Dahe sneered.

“That old stubborn man sold his shares to the bank last week, and the bank immediately sold them to a mysterious buyer.”

He spread his hands.

"It's a pity, Father, that your old friend didn't stand by your side in the end."

Su Dongshan staggered back two steps, tripped over the chair behind him, and almost fell.

Qin Luo reacted quickly, stepping forward to support the old man and subtly placing his hand on his back.

A gentle flow of internal energy slowly entered, and Su Dongshan's breathing gradually calmed down.

"Uncle Su, don't worry."

Qin Luo whispered, his voice only audible to the two of them.

"There is still a chance for things to turn around."

Su Dahe squinted at the young man who had suddenly appeared.

Qin Luo, dressed in a simple white shirt and black casual pants, looked out of place among the suits and ties in the room, but his eyes were so sharp that they were unsettling.

"Who is this?"

Su Dahe raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Qin Luo, Yueyue's friend."

Su Dongshan caught his breath, but his voice was still somewhat weak.

Su Yue stood beside her father, her fingers tightly gripping the hem of her clothes.

She wore a light blue dress today, which was like a clear spring in the tense meeting room, but no one had time to appreciate it.

"Oh? You mean that bookworm who spends all his time in the lab?"

Su Dahe chuckled.

"Father, you don't expect this young upstart to help you turn things around, do you?"

Qin Luo smiled nonchalantly and took out a brown paper document bag from his black backpack.

His movements were slow, as if he was deliberately teasing people.

"Is today Su Yue's birthday?"

Qin Luo suddenly asked, his voice as relaxed as if he were talking about the weather.

The meeting room was filled with confusion.

Su Dahe frowned impatiently.

"Stop changing the subject! We're discussing the issue of controlling stake in the group!"

Qin Luo slowly opened the file bag, took out a neatly bound stack of documents, and handed them to Su Yue.

Happy birthday, here's a little gift.

Su Yue took the document blankly, and her pupils suddenly contracted when she saw the title.

"This is this"

"Agreement on the transfer of 20% equity in Jiangsu Pharmaceutical Group".

Qin Luo said calmly.

"The signature page is already stamped. All you need to do is sign it, and these shares are yours."

The meeting room erupted in chaos.

The directors whispered among themselves, and some even stood up to try and read the contents of the document.

Su Dahe's expression changed drastically. He rushed forward to snatch the documents, but Qin Luo blocked him from the side.

"what are you doing?"

Su Dahe shouted sternly.

"That's impossible! How could Old Xu's shares be gone?"

"Mr. Xu did indeed sell his shares to the bank."

Qin Luo said calmly.

"The bank was sold to my investment company. Now, I want to give it to Su Yue. Is there a problem?"

Su Dongshan took the document with trembling hands, his eyes wide open behind his reading glasses.

He quickly flipped through the agreement, then suddenly burst into laughter, a laugh tinged with madness.

"Good! Good! Good!"

He said "good" three times in a row and turned to his lawyer.

"Attorney Zhang, prepare my share transfer documents immediately. I want to transfer all 12% of my shares to Yueyue!"

"Father!"

Su Dahe's face turned ashen.

"Are you crazy? She doesn't understand anything!"

Su Dongshan ignored him and looked at his eldest son, who had been sitting silently to the side.

"The ocean, and you?"

Su Dahai scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.

“I’m not good at doing business, so it would be a waste for me to keep those shares.”

He took out his cell phone.

"I'll have my assistant prepare the transfer documents right now."

Su Dahe was struck dumb, and staggered back two steps.

He turned sharply to Susan, his eyes filled with threat.

"Shanshan, you wouldn't do that too?"

Susan bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Second brother, I'm sorry."

"enough!"

Su Dahe roared, veins bulging on his forehead.

He glared fiercely at Qin Luo.

"Who exactly are you? Why are you interfering in the affairs of the Su family?"

Qin Luo shrugged.

“I already said, I’m Su Yue’s friend.”

"friend?"

Su Dahe sneered.

"Give away shares worth tens of billions of dollars casually? Do you think I'm a three-year-old?"

"Money is not important to me."

Qin Luo spoke in a flat tone.

"The important thing is that Su Yue deserves these things."

Su Yue's eyes reddened, and her fingers gripped the agreement tightly until her knuckles turned white.

She opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

Attorney Zhang was extremely efficient, preparing all the documents in less than half an hour.

Su Dongshan and Su Dahai signed the agreement on the spot, and the equity transfer took effect immediately.

"Now."

Su Dongshan straightened his back, as if he had instantly become ten years younger.

"My daughter, Su Yue, holds 36% of the group's shares, giving her absolute control and veto power. Do you have any further questions?"

The board members looked at each other, and finally shook their heads.

The power shift happened so fast that they hadn't even had time to react before the situation was already settled.

Su Dahe's face was so gloomy it could drip water.

He suddenly kicked over the chair in front of him and pointed at Qin Luo's nose.

"You just wait! This isn't over!"

After saying that, he slammed the door and left, the loud noise echoing in the corridor.

As night deepened, the Su family villa was brightly lit.

Inside the restaurant, the crystal chandelier casts a warm yellow light onto the mahogany dining table, making the exquisite porcelain plates sparkle.

Su Dahai, wearing an apron, brought out the last dish of steamed grouper from the kitchen, the scallions on the fish still steaming.

"Come on, eat it while it's hot!"

Su Dahai's face was flushed, and the beads of sweat on his forehead glistened under the light.

He untied his apron and casually draped it over the back of the chair, then turned around and took out two bottles of Moutai from the liquor cabinet.

"We're happy today, let's have a good drink together!" Su Yue sat in the main seat, wearing a simple white shirt and black suit pants, looking capable yet gentle.

As she watched her father bustling about, a smile unconsciously crept onto her lips.

Qin Luo sat next to her, but his gaze kept glancing at Su Dongshan at the other end of the table.

The old man was wearing a dark gray Zhongshan suit today, his hair was neatly combed, but the smile on his face seemed forced.

Whenever Su Dahai raised his glass in celebration, Su Dongshan would also raise his glass, but Qin Luo could clearly see that his fingers holding the glass were trembling slightly.

"Dad, please drink less."

Su Yue gently reminded him and reached out to take the wine glass from Su Dongshan's hand.

Su Dongshan tilted his head back and downed the wine in one gulp, making a "gulp" sound in his throat.

I'm so happy that my granddaughter has become the chairperson of the company!

His voice was loud, but his eyes were a little red.

"I'm relieved to have the medicine in your hands!"

Qin Luo noticed that when the old man said this, his gaze drifted to the family photo hanging on the wall.

In the photo, Su Dongshan sits in the center, flanked by his brothers Su Dahai and Su Dahe. Su Dahe was young at the time, with a bright smile.

"Qin Luo."

Su Dahai poured Qin Luo a full glass of wine.

"We owe you a lot this time; if it weren't for you finding that evidence..."

"dad!"

Su Yue suddenly interrupted, glancing meaningfully at Su Dongshan.

The old man was bending down to pick up some food, but his chopsticks stopped in mid-air.

The restaurant fell silent for a moment, with only the faint buzzing sound from the air conditioning vents.

Qin Luo picked up his wine glass and gently touched Su Dahai's glass to his.

"We're all family, it's only right."

He downed the drink in one gulp, the fiery liquor sliding down his throat, but he couldn't suppress the strange feeling in his heart.

On the surface, the celebration banquet was filled with laughter and joy, but underneath, undercurrents were swirling.

After the banquet, Qin Luo stood alone on the balcony of a guest room on the third floor.

The Su family villa is located on a hillside in the suburbs, offering a panoramic view of the city lights.

The night breeze was slightly cool. He lit a Zhonghua cigarette that Su Dahai had given him and took a deep drag.

"What are you thinking about?"

A pair of soft arms wrapped around his waist from behind, Su Yue's face pressed against his back, the faint scent of shampoo mixed with the smell of tobacco in her hair wafting into his nostrils.

Qin Luo didn't turn around, but simply switched the cigarette to his left hand and placed his right hand over her hand that was clasped on his abdomen.

"I miss your dad."

"My Father?"

Su Yue let go of his hand, walked around to face him, and frowned slightly.

"Wasn't he quite happy today?"

"It's just on the surface."

Qin Luo exhaled a smoke ring, his gaze falling on the flashing neon lights in the distance.

"What father can truly be happy when his son and daughter turn against each other?"

Su Yue remained silent for a moment, the night wind ruffling her long hair.

"Thank you."

She said it suddenly.

"Without you, I wouldn't have been able to get Grandpa's support so quickly."

Qin Luo chuckled, stubbed out his cigarette, and reached out to tuck a strand of her wind-blown hair behind her ear.

"How are you going to thank me? Just say it?"

Su Yue slapped his hand away, but couldn't hide the smile on her lips.

"Stop joking and be serious."

She said seriously.

"Once the group stabilizes, I will return the 20% of the shares to you."

"return?"

Qin Luo raised an eyebrow.

Those shares were originally yours.

"But that's for you to use."

"shush"

Qin Luo pressed his index finger against her lips.

"Those shares are just temporarily held in your custody."

He leaned down and whispered in her ear, his warm breath brushing against her earlobe.

"We'll leave it to our children later."

Su Yue's ears turned bright red instantly, and she pushed him away.

"Who wants to have your child!"

She turned to leave, but Qin Luo grabbed her wrist and pulled her back into his arms.

"Don't run away, Chairman Su."

Qin Luo grinned mischievously.

"Let's get down to business. What are your plans to do about your second uncle?"

Su Yue's expression immediately turned serious when Su Dahe was mentioned.

She broke free from Qin Luo's embrace and leaned against the balcony railing.

"Grandpa can handle those senior executives on the board, but Su Dahe..."

She bit her lower lip.

“He still holds 21% of the shares, which is a potential problem.”

Qin Luo walked to her side, and the two stood shoulder to shoulder, gazing at the city lights in the distance.

"Got a plan?"

"Three options."

Su Yue held up three fingers.

"First, issuing new shares will dilute his shares, but that will also reduce my shareholding ratio."

"Second, control the stock price so that he cannot obtain funds through stock pledging, and drag it out until he is overwhelmed by bank interest."

Su Yue tucked one finger away.

"But this will take a long time, and there are too many variables in the meantime."

"What about third?"

Qin Luo pressed for an answer.

Su Yue retracted the last finger, her eyes sharpening.

“Directly suppress the stock price and force the bank to liquidate his pledged shares.”

Qin Luo whistled.

"That's ruthless. Which one do you choose?"

"The third."

Su Yue did not hesitate.

"A swift and decisive approach is needed. But the problem is..."

She sighed.

"I don't have a trading team I can trust."

A mysterious smile played on Qin Luo's lips.

What a coincidence! I recently assembled a trading team, they're all from Wall Street, absolutely reliable.

Su Yue suddenly turned to look at him, her eyes flashing with surprise and doubt.

When?
"Surprise?"

Qin Luo blinked.

"Have them contact you tomorrow."

Su Yue stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled.

"Qin Luo, how many things are you still hiding from me?"

"this one"

Qin Luo deliberately dragged out the tone in a mysterious manner.

I'll tell you on our wedding day.

"Who wants to marry you!"

Su Yue pretended to hit him, but he grabbed her wrist.

The night breeze carries the unique fragrance of mountain grasses and trees.

After the two joked around for a while, Su Yue suddenly became serious.

"It's getting late, you should rest."

"You're not going to keep me here?"

Qin Luo looked at her pitifully.

Su Yue shook her head firmly.

“Behave yourself at Grandpa’s house.”

She tiptoed and gave him a light kiss on the cheek.

"Good night."

Watching Su Yue's departing figure, Qin Luo touched the spot where he had been kissed, and shook his head with a smile.

Once her footsteps faded at the end of the corridor, he took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, Yihan?"

He lowered his voice.

"The plan has changed; tomorrow's stock price of Suzhou Pharmaceutical Group..."

Meanwhile, in a luxury apartment on the other side of the city, Su Dahe was looking at his computer screen with a troubled expression.

The ashtray in front of him was piled high with cigarette butts, and the office was filled with smoke.

"Mr. Wang, let's think about it some more."

Su Dahe pleaded into the phone, the veins on his forehead clearly visible.

"Lend me 500 million for three months, interest is negotiable!"

A cold, dismissive voice came from the other end of the phone. (End of Chapter)
