Chapter 630 Take a seat
In fact, to be honest, before this incident happened, Li Yan never regarded Li Jiawei as a competitor. In his eyes, this sister was just a chess piece that could be deployed at will in the family territory.
However, the moment Li Jiawei sent him and Li Xuanbao in for investigation, his thoughts changed completely, which made him realize that this sister was by no means as harmless as she appeared to be.
Therefore, when he looked at Li Jiawei with a critical eye, he realized that this sister now held far more bargaining chips in her hands than he had imagined. If he let it go, it would threaten his position in the Li Group.
He would never let that happen.
After hearing his son say this, Jing Qiu slowly lowered his arms, as if even the strength to raise his hands had been taken away.
In the empty living room, the newly signed contract shone coldly in the sunlight, making her eyes sore.
She had imagined countless family reunions, but now it all turned into a bubble. She suddenly realized that the rift between her and her daughter might not be easily bridged by blood.
A sigh escaped from the depths of his chest, and Jing Qiu felt exhausted both physically and mentally.
She stood up by holding the armrest of the sofa, her voice full of vicissitudes: "Since the contract has been signed, you can handle the follow-up matters." After that, she turned and walked towards the stairs, her back hunched, as if she had aged ten years in an instant.
Only after Jing Qiu's figure disappeared around the corner of the stairs did Zhong Xinlan reach out and pick up the contract from the coffee table.
Looking at the signatures and seals, her eyes sparkled with excitement that could not be concealed. She turned to look at Li Yan and said in a voice full of surprise, "I didn't expect that Jiawei actually signed it! 1.2 billion is enough to become the largest shareholder of Meishang. This deal is really a big profit!"
Li Yan lazily put his legs on the armrest of the sofa, then lay back and rested his head on Zhong Xinlan's lap.
He reached out and took the contract from his wife, with a smile on his face: "She didn't suffer a loss. In just two or three years, she earned over a billion. Who wouldn't be jealous of this speed of making money?"
Zhong Xinlan stared at Li Yan with her eyes downcast, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the corners of the contract, and asked impatiently: "When are we going to hold the shareholders' meeting?"
Li Yan raised a meaningful smile and said nonchalantly, "Don't be so anxious. Although the share transfer contract has been signed, there are still many follow-up handover matters that have not been properly handled. The meat is already in the pot, so there is no need for us to rush."
He paused for a moment, his eyes flickered, and after thinking for a moment, he continued, "However, we can do some preparations on the Internet in advance, so that the outside world can know that Meishang is about to change its owner."
When Zhong Xinlan heard what Li Yan said, a sly look flashed in her eyes: "Leave it to me. I know a lot of friends in the media circle. Let them spread some rumors online first and test the public opinion reaction."
As a benchmark magazine in the fashion field, Meishang's business is closely linked to current fashion trends. The attitudes and support of netizens largely influence the development direction of the magazine.
As night fell, Wu Ziqi returned to his residence after finishing a day's work.
When she was bored, she casually opened her phone to browse entertainment news. Among the current online topics, "Jian Ge" produced by Universal Pictures is undoubtedly the most popular.
The leading actors in the play have become the focus of public attention with their outstanding performances, and the topic of discussion remains high.
Now, after the incidents of Mr. Wang and Mr. Wang, Universal Pictures has finally brought out a few new artists.
Although their status has not yet been raised, as long as they are popular and Universal Pictures is supporting them, it is only a matter of time before their status is raised.
Wu Ziqi slid her fingertips across the screen of her mobile phone. She stared at the hot search terms related to "Jian Ge" and thought about her next work plan in her mind.
With the current bundling of "Meishang" and Universal Pictures resources, she can strike while the iron is hot and launch a special issue for the leading actors of "Jian Ge", which can increase the exposure and fashion resources of several leading artists.
"Meishang" can also take advantage of the current popularity of "Jiang Ge" to take the magazine sales to a higher level and achieve a win-win situation.
However, the next second, her fingers suddenly froze in mid-air.
A push message on the screen stung her eyes, "Li Jiawei is about to withdraw from "Meishang", and the management of "Meishang" will undergo a major reshuffle."
Wu Ziqi rubbed his eyes subconsciously, and checked the title several times again, then suddenly sat up from the sofa, with a storm in his heart: "Jiawei actually sold the shares of "Meishang"?"
Feelings of uneasiness surged over her like a tide. She didn't care that it was already past ten o'clock in the evening. She found Li Jiawei's contact information and almost immediately pressed the dial button.
At the same time, similar message reminders kept popping up on Li Jiawei's mobile phone screen.
She looked at the overwhelming number of explosive posts, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her lips.
Without having to think too much, she could guess who was behind this. They just wanted to use public opinion to quickly confirm the fact of the share transfer so as to warm up for their next move to take over "Meishang".
Li Jiawei stared at the name "Wu Ziqi" on the caller ID for a long time before she sighed softly and slid the answer button: "Ziqi, why are you calling me so late at night?"
A hurried voice came from the other end of the phone, and Wu Ziqi almost blurted out: "Jiawei, you have seen the news on the Internet. A self-media blogger said that you are about to withdraw from "Meishang" and have sold your shares in "Meishang". Is this true?"
Li Jiawei's knuckles turned white as she held the phone, but her voice was surprisingly calm: "What they said is true." She paused and added, "I have already signed the share transfer contract, so, in fact, I am no longer the largest shareholder of Meishang."
There was a brief silence in the receiver, followed by Wu Ziqi's trembling voice.
Her tone was full of uneasiness and helplessness: "Can you tell me... who did you sell the shares to?"
Li Jiawei took a deep breath and said, "The shares have been sold to my eldest brother Li Yan, but the actual management in the future will probably be my eldest sister-in-law Zhong Xinlan."
Since the news has spread online and Wu Ziqi knows everything, Li Jiawei has nothing to hide: "Ziqi, I'm planning to start a new magazine. Would you... like to come?"
The other end of the phone fell into a long silence. Li Jiawei leaned against the windowsill, looking at the night outside the window, and was the first to break the silence: "But don't be embarrassed, don't rush to give me an answer. No matter what decision you make, I can understand."
Wu Ziqi clenched her phone tightly, her fingertips turning white. She is now the director of "Meishang". No matter who takes over the position of major shareholder, she will not be touched in the short term. What about later?
