Chapter 35: Jiang Group

"The policy will come in a few days," Su Lian said while checking her terminal.

"Okay, then we just have to wait until then, and later we can have a celebration party," Xu Qianghua said, a smile slowly appearing.

"Hmm?" The girls saw his smile; some knew what that meant, while others were still clueless for now.

Meanwhile, in the Jiang Headquarters, in a huge meeting room:

"Who can explain why this is happening?" a man in a modern suit asked angrily as he looked around at the shareholders and leaders of the company.

The man is Jiang Wei. He is 45 years old and is the head of the Jiang family and the President of the board of shareholders.

He has short, thinning black hair with gray at the temples, and dark brown eyes. Standing at 5'8" with a pot belly, he maintains a commanding presence.

He was angry because they were all smiling yesterday due to the increase in their company's stock prices. But before they could capitalize on it, someone revealed the real news about the purchase of the batteries.

"We are still searching for the people who revealed the news and, at the same time, for the people who first published the fake news," one of the shareholders said.

"You must hurry up, as we do not have a lot of time before we lose more money," Jiang Wei said.

He was really angry because just yesterday, he was really excited about the stock price increase, even though he knew it was based on false information. He planned to use this to boost the company's value as the company had already started the initial testing for the new battery.

But they still need a few more days before they have enough data to patent this and then use this incident to publicize the new batteries. He wanted to do this so that he could get some funding from other companies and then increase their company's value.

However, now they have to find ways to appease the general public and at the same time invest more money in the stock market to cope with the massive loss in stock price.

So, they are trying to find the people who caused this mess. If they are weaker than them, then they will demand money or use the same tactics and take over their business. But if they are on a similar level, the options are limited, and the only option is to take them to court and expose them to the public.

Lastly, there are people they cannot afford to offend. If it was them, then they could only swallow their loss and move on.

Jiang Wei does not hope it is the last one, as that would mean a loss of a lot of money without anything back. But if it is the other two options, they will fight until they reach an agreement that both Jiang Wei and the shareholders can agree on.

"Use all the connections we have, but find out who these people are by the end of the day," Jiang Wei said as he huffed and left the room.

The shareholders and the management watched Jiang Wei leave, and then they also sighed collectively and left the room to contact people who might have ideas as to who caused all this chaos.

Jiang Wei went back to his office and started calling anyone who might have an idea, and he was successful.

During these few hours, he called almost everyone he knew, trying to find out who published the fake news and he was able to find out who they were.

"These losers who do not know anything else other than putting up false information and then making money out of it," Jiang Wei found out who started the whole debacle and was furious.

He was mad because the billionaires who did this were popular in the business world for doing these kinds of things.

They made their money by doing similar things but on a much smaller scale. Jiang Wei did not expect that they would now come after his company.

"Now that I have found out who started this, all that's left is to find the people responsible for leaking the news about the battery purchase being false," he said as he went back to calling people.

But even after he called everyone, he could not find who the leakers were. Just when he was about to look for others—

BANG

The door of his office opened as a hurried figure ran in. The person then closed the door and locked it.

"What is wrong with you? Why do you seem like you ran a marathon? And why did you lock the door?" Jiang Wei asked multiple questions to the person who just ran in without knocking.

"Haaah Haaah, President, I found out who the leakers are," the person was the shareholder who spoke in the conference room a few hours ago.

"Oh? Who is it then?" Jiang Wei asked curiously.

"It's Shadow," the shareholder said with a sad tone and his shoulders slumped down.

"WHAAATT, why is it them?" Jiang Wei lost his composure when he heard who the leakers were.

"Shit, Shit," was the only thing he could say.

"What do you want to do now, Mr. Jiang?" the shareholder asked as he caught his breath.

"I found out who the instigators were, so we can only go after them," Jiang Wei said as he took a deep breath and then went back to sit in his seat.

"Yes, Mr. President," the shareholder said as he then left the room.

As for them dealing with Shadow? Please, although they are rich, that only applies to this city. Outside, they are just nobodies who have a good company in their hands.

So they have no way to deal with Shadow, and even if they did, they would not as that would lead to more retaliation from them, which is something they do not want.

Hey everyone, I hope you like the novel so far. I am writing this because I would like some feedback for this chapter as this is the first time I wrote from someone else's POV other than the main character's group.

Just let me know how you feel about this, and if you have any improvements, then please feel free to post a comment.

Thank you,
