Getting rid of a problematic student was a piece of cake.
He could even change the principal if he wanted to.
But on Sheng Hui's side...
Jackson thought for a while before saying truthfully, "Chairman Manoban, Sheng Hui is a renowned medium-sized enterprise. They're rather large-scale, and there isn't any problem with their management. Sheng Hui is unlikely to agree to an acquisition."
Lisa looked up coldly and Jackson instantly went quiet.
"The way you say it, Manoban Firm's acquisition of another company depends on that party's approval?"
Jackson was startled to hear him say that.
"Chairman Manoban, that's not what I meant."
Lisa narrowed his eyes and slammed the table.
"If they aren't willing, then we'll sell their stocks short and make them go bankrupt. By then, they'll come begging us to acquire them."
Jackson was evidently shocked.
Sell their stocks short?
Wouldn't that require a lot of money?
Although the Manoban Firm could well afford it, the point of acquisitions was to make a profit.
Given Chairman Manoban's thought process now, he wasn't concerned about making money at all.
He seemed intent on losing money in this transaction.
He had been with Chairman Manoban for so many years and had never seen him make any dealing that would end up in a loss.
This was the very first time.
Jackson was starting to think that Chairman Manoban's weird doings had something to do with Young Madam.
Could this be part of it too?!
"... Yes, Chairman Manoban!"
Jackson had so many doubts, but all he had to do was to follow his Boss's orders, not question them!
Chairman Manoban wanted Sheng Hui to go bankrupt, then so it would be!
Nothing else mattered!
..............
The following day.
Jennie heard that Shen Yueyue and Zhao Wanting had been expelled by the school.
The entire school was informed about it.
At the same time.
All the leading finance media channels were reporting the overnight bankruptcy of Sheng Hui Corporation.
Their stocks fell drastically overnight and there was no chance of even salvaging the
situation.
Sheng Hui was also a well-known firm in the city. In the 20 years they had been around, they had never faced any financial crises.
And yet, they went bankrupt in just one day. The public was in shock.
Everyone began speculating what happened.
Some said that there were internal problems in Sheng Hui that no one had exposed before.
And now, things finally fell through.
Some others said that the boss of Sheng Hui had offended someone, and this was revenge.
If it was the latter, one could imagine just how rich and powerful that enemy was.
Jennie also heard about it soon.
She sent Lisa a text: [Sheng Hui's bankruptcy... is it your doing?]
Lisa replied very quickly: [Mm.]
Jennie was stunned for two seconds when she saw the reply.
She asked again: [Is... it because of me?]
Lisa: [Mm.]
Jennie was speechless.
Although she didn't know much about businesses and finance, she knew that it wasn't easy to cause a medium-scale company to go bankrupt overnight.
She never expected Lisa to make such a drastic move.
It wasn't as if she had been taken advantage of. In fact, it was Shen Yueyue and her people who had had to pay the price.
She thought that the beating was enough warning and punishment for them.
Who would have that thought that Lisa would make the Du family business go bankrupt!
Wasn't it too domineering?
A while later, Lisa sent her another message: [You're not having lessons now?]
Jennie snapped out of her shock and replied: [Mm, the morning classes are over. Two more in the afternoon.]
Lisa: [Come down.]
Jennie was confused by his message.
She replied: [Come down? What do you mean?]
Lisa called her the moment she sent that message.
His attractive voice could be heard. "I'm downstairs, come down."
Jennie was shaken.
She was in utter shock, actually.
Lisa had come to her school again?
And he was just outside the female dormitory?!
Jennie walked out of her bedroom and saw a group of people crowded in the hallway, looking downwards excitedly.
"Whoa, there's a really handsome man downstairs!"
"Isn't that the hunk that took Jennie away yesterday? He's back again."
"Jennie is so lucky. She just broke up with Kai and now she's found herself another rich and
handsome boyfriend."
"Pfft, he might not be her boyfriend. Maybe she's just his woman."
"Why would a handsome man like him need to pay for a woman? Even if she really is, wouldn't you want to be like her? Anyway, I would. Who wouldn't want that sort of money?"
Jennie looked down too.
And immediately saw the man standing under a tree.
Sunlight filtered through the canopy and poured onto his handsome face, highlighting the features with a golden glow.
He was in a fitting suit, emphasizing his perfect figure.
The tailored pants showed off his long legs.
And his cool aura made him all the more appealing.
The girls near him were blushing already.
A few of them tried to flirt with him, but the cold gaze he shot them had them backing off.
It was as if he gave off a "Do Not Approach" aura.
Jennie could tell that Lisa did have Anti-Women Disorder.
Besides her, he was averse to every other woman and was cold towards them too.
It disgusted him even more when girls took the initiative to get close to him.
As if sensing her gaze, Lisa looked up suddenly.
He looked straight at her.
The moment they made eye contact, the cold, distant expression in his eyes vanished.
A tinge of warmth and gentleness could be seen.
At that moment, Jennie could feel her heart pounding rapidly.
..............
Jennie quickly went downstairs.
When she arrived before him, Lisa opened up his arms and wrapped her in an embrace.He held her very tightly.
It seemed as if he wanted to merge her body with his. He took a deep breath of her scent and asked, "Jennie, have you missed me?"
While in an embrace, Jennie could feel the stiffness and coldness of his body.
