BXBX NOVEL Chapter 12: The Talk 2
Feeling her mouth blocked, she was shocked and made muffled sounds. He responded by entering her mouth with his tongue, seeking out her own. Their tongues entangled, and they shared a deep kiss for a few minutes until Liu Meiying started tapping rapidly on his back with her hands.
Seeing this, Xu Qianghua ended the kiss, leaving Liu Meiying, who had no energy in her body from the deep kiss to just lie on him while he kept stroking her hair.
The only sound that could be heard was Liu Meiying\'s heavy breathing as she tried to gather herself.
"Haah, haah, Qiangqiang, what are... haah... you talking about?" Liu Meiying asked, taking deep breaths.
"I would like you to help me cash out my shares from the Xu Group and maybe yours too" Xu Qianghua said in a serious voice, keeping his eyes locked with Liu Meiying\'s.
"But why?" Liu Meiying asked, her voice choking slightly.
"Because the whole company is not worth it," Xu Qianghua said, moving the hand that was stroking her hair toward her cheek, gently caressing her smooth skin.
"Why?" she repeated, her expression still one of disbelief.
"Why? You should know why, Sister Meiying," Xu Qianghua said as he pecked her lips.
"Is it because of all those traitors and deserters?" Liu Meiying tried to find reasons.
"I will fix that before I leave the president position for you," Liu Meiying said, tightly holding onto him.
"Sister Meiying, I believe you can do it, but this is not about me wanting the president position," Xu Qianghua said.
"Then why? Do you not trust me?" she asked again, tears slowly starting to fall as she spoke.
"No, no, no. It\'s nothing like that, and if you asked, I would give the whole company to you," Xu Qianghua felt distraught seeing her cry.
"Then why?" Liu Meiying asked again.
"Do you trust me?" Xu Qianghua asked instead of answering.
She nodded like a little girl.
"The company is not important to me, you are," Xu Qianghua said, pecking her lips again.
"Then what is your plan?" she asked, rubbing her head against his chest.
"For now, I think we both should sell all our shares to the shareholders," Xu Qianghua said.
Both Xu Qianghua and Liu Meiying own about 45% of the shares. The majority was given to Xu Qianghua by his parents either as his first birthday gift or later when they passed away. So he owns 40% of the shares, and the remaining 5% belongs to Liu Meiying.
The reason she does not want to sell the shares is that she does not want the company, in which Xu Qianghua\'s parents spent their lives, to be wasted.
"This is the best option because if we do, we will have dodged a huge bullet," Xu Qianghua added.
"I want the money to make more money and use that for something big that will change all of our lives," Xu Qianghua continued.
"And I do not want you to spend time in that never-ending cleanup place, where you have to deal with new traitors every time you deal with the old ones.
And that company is going to fail in a short time anyway, so selling now is the best way," Xu Qianghua stated, stunning Liu Meiying.
"What are you talking about?" Liu Meiying did not understand what he was saying.
"Did you know that one of the shareholders is using one of our warehouses for illegal activities?" Xu Qianghua asked.
"What? No, I did not know that," replied Meiying.
She, who just thought that this meeting was a normal conversation, was instead given so much new and shocking information that she did not know what to say.
"Yeah, my parents found out about this and were about to go there and see if they could collect any information, but they died in that plane crash instead.
So the shareholder never got caught and instead involved the whole company in it by using its channels to make money.
Now the company won\'t be open for long as the police have already found some clues, and this will bankrupt the company. I want to make sure we sell our shares before we get caught up in that," Xu Qianghua said seriously.
In his previous life, he and Liu Meiying had to go to the police station to give testimony for this as they were shareholders of the company. But since they had never been close to that shareholder, they were never suspected because the police had no reason to suspect them.
Due to this, Liu Meiying went into a negative spiral as this was caused under her watch, and she did not know how to face Xu Qianghua after that incident.
He did not think about this incident because he never considered it as something he should fix since it was a foregone situation. But then he thought that he could use this as a way to short the company and then earn back the money his parents earned from those blood-sucking shareholders who do not know anything other than relying on Liu Meiying.
And instead of gratitude, they created fake evidence and tried to frame her while she was dealing with the mess one of the shareholders created.
After that happened, she completely gave up, sold her shares at a huge discount, and locked herself in her room until the game merged.
So this life, he wanted to change this small future, which does not seem important in the grand scheme of things. She is a strong woman who bounced back and created a well-known chamber of commerce from scratch.
"Sister Meiying, you are limiting yourself and your potential in this company. So I am asking you to trust me just this once and sell all of our shares and just enjoy this month. Everything will be clear," he asked her in a gentle voice.
"But what about the legacy of your parents?" she asked as she started to cry.
"When they died, they left me a letter. In it, they told me that sometimes letting go is the way to move forward.
And I think letting go of this bundle of poison is the best for us. This company is something that was lost before they died. My parents were just holding on and not willing to give up.
But I think we should, so we can start a new chapter without having to worry about anything," he said as he touched his forehead to hers, closing his eyes.
