Translator: 549690339
On this night, Lin Qing finally got Zhou Ling’s information.
She looked through it over and over again, unwilling to believe it, and called the private detective: “Is this the extent of your ability? I paid you so much money, and this is what you came up with?”
There wasn’t any useful information in the file, her family, interpersonal relationships, friends were all blank.
“Madam, I’ve done my best. Her records before she went to university seem to have been moved. The only useful information that could be found is this.”
“Fine, keep an eye on her for me. Report everything she does every day, who
she meets, what she eats, and so on. Double the payment.”
The other party seemed hesitant at first but bowed their head under the temptation of money.
Lin Qing couldn’t let it go and looked through it a few more times. Zhou Ling graduated from Jiangzhou University with outstanding grades two years ago, and after graduation, she worked in a securities company. Three months ago she met Zhu Wentao at a cocktail party, and for him, she gave up her great position in the securities company and became Zhu Wentao’s secretary at the Zhu Group.
She checked out the securities company and found out that it had gone bankrupt due to losses in proprietary business and misappropriation of client margin, and its business had been taken over by Nansheng Securities two months ago.
If she remembered correctly, Nansheng Securities had always been the biggest partner of Zhu Group. Was this all just a coincidence?
No…
Lin Qing was once a strong woman herself, but her family held her back. In terms of business acumen, she was no worse than professionals.
She went to the Zhu Group’s official website to check their financial statements for the last quarter, and everything seemed perfect.
However, the Spring Academy project had been delayed for a long time and couldn’t be completed. Many property owners had expressed their dissatisfaction.
Spring Academy was the most important project for Zhu Group at this stage. She had heard Zhu Wentao mention it before, and the Zhu Group had invested a lot of money in it. If this project had any problems, it would cause a domino effect and collapse.
Lin Qing called Secretary Wang: “What’s going on with the Spring Academy project?”
Secretary Wang was surprised that Madam had suddenly inquired about the company’s affairs. He had been warned by the boss not to tell her about the company’s business, so he just brushed it off.
“So, you are all hiding from me, treating me like a fool? As a founder of the company, I own 23% of the shares, making me a major shareholder. Don’t I have the right and responsibility to ask questions?”
Secretary Wang replied, “Madam, didn’t you receive the latest notice of changes in shareholding?”
Lin Qing was stunned, “What do you mean?”
Secretary Wang coughed and discreetly reminded her, “I suggest you read the notice of changes in shareholding first.”
Lin Qing found the notice on the official website, dating back several months.
Her hand holding the mouse trembled.
She trusted Zhu Wentao so much, handing over all her shares to him to manage. This unfaithful man, however, had been diluting her shares behind her back for a long time. From 23% to 0.03%, men can be so heartless when they want to be.
She remembered that many times Zhu Wentao would bring her files to sign, usually while she was eating or putting on makeup. If she tried to look at the documents more carefully, he would pull up a conversation on a topic she was interested in. Her attention would be taken away, and she had always trusted him, never suspecting anything.
Lin Qing felt utterly devastated, realizing that she had never truly known the man she had shared a bed with for 20 years.
From such an early time, he had been guarding against her.
Lin Qing suddenly burst into laughter, realizing how foolish she had been.
As for Zhu Xiangxiang and Zhu Shaodan, whose shareholdings she gifted, they had already switched to Zhu Wentao as their legal representative since they were minors.
How calculating.
Listening to the crying on the phone, Secretary Wang felt a little bad: “Madam,
take it easy.”
“Answer me, does he live with that bitch now?”
Secretary Wang didn’t say anything.
“They want to kick me out of the game? They want to be lovey-dovey? Dream on! Even if I die, I’ll drag them down with me.”
After hanging up, Lin Qing checked all the assets under her name. Over the years, she had given Zhu Wentao full authority over her shares and the dividends to invest. She hadn’t seen much of the returns from those investments, guessing that Zhu Wentao had taken it all to subsidize his private stash. At the moment, she had two cars, four properties in Jiangzhou, two shops, one property in Jingdu, and some jewelry, antiques, and ancient calligraphy and paintings she collected years ago. All these assets were worth about a billion..
