Chapter 1203 - Goodbye, Second Brother (23)

Qiao Lian was shocked.

Dropped ten dollars and that was all?

Their company shares were about 50 dollars per lot.

That was a fall of about 20 percent!

To put it in greater perspective, that was to say that if their company had a net asset value of 500 million dollars, it had now 100 million dollars less.

If they didn’t act quickly to gain back the people’s trust, then they were at the risk of going bankrupt.

Qiao Lian was starting to get anxious again when Shen Liangchuan spoke again, “Also...”

Qiao Lian almost collapsed, thinking that wasn’t everything.

Shen Liangchuan calmly continued, “They already have a bad reputation. If they don’t go ahead with the marriage as announced, the public’s trust in them will continue to decrease. At that point, they would have to face the bombarding from the media and public opinion. The shares will surely tumble even more and the Lu family enterprise will crash.”

Qiao Lian started to panic at Shen Liangchuan’s horrifying description and asked anxiously, “So what do we do now?”

Shen Liangchuan frowned too and said after a pause, “Now it would be best if there aren’t any more incidents. For example, news about the wedding...”

“But Qiao Yiyi is already in jail! How are they going to get married?”

Shen Liangchuan cast his gaze down. He glanced at Qiao Lian and kept silent. Actually, there was another way, but it shouldn’t come from his own mouth. Lu Nanze should have already thought of it already. After all, he was no decent businessman.

–

At this very moment in Suzhou, the dam had already burst in the board meeting at the penthouse of the Lu family business office.

Lu Nanze sat there, listening as the major shareholders talked back and forth incessantly.

They were berating him for being rash.

“Lu Nanze, your dad is already dead. You wouldn’t even let his reputation be!”

“We know you don’t like your father, but we didn’t think it was to this extent!”

“This is too much! What do we do now? What will happen to the company? You guys are so rash. Did you think of the consequences?”

“There’s a bunch of reporters outside the building entrance right now. Tell us, what are we going to do?”

“The Lu family business is finished, we’re in trouble!”

Everyone was sighing and talking.

Listening to their analysis, Lu Nanze slowly cast his gaze down and said casually after a moment, “What’s with all the anxiety?”

The meeting fell silent at those words and everyone turned simultaneously to look at him. Then the people erupted with anger.

“What’s with the anxiety?”

“Lu Nanze, how could you even say that?”

“You have to know, it’s not just your own money the company’s losing. We are shareholders too! Even though we hold less shares, that’s not the way to manage things!”

“Lu Nanze, tell us what plans you have. Now the best thing for you to do is to get married! Go through with what father had announced to the media before he died. Otherwise, people will think that you go back on your word. If that happens, it will worsen things for the company.”

“I’ll get married then.”

At those words, the meeting fell into another bout of silence.

Everyone turned simultaneously to look at him with a shocked expression, almost not daring to believe what they had just heard.

After a moment, someone reacted.

“Get married? What are you saying? Qiao Yiyi is in jail! If you were to marry her, you’d become a laughing stock. With an evil father, and your future father-in-law and wife both in jail!”

“Exactly, how are you going to get married?”
