Chapter 336: Chapter 336: Great Turbulence_1
As soon as he left, Yuan Jiayin opened her eyes, revealing a sinister glow.
"Better to strike first than let Third Young Master Jun hold my nude photos and threaten to publish them. By doing so, I also gain Shang Jingchen’s sympathy and guilt, and take the opportunity to frame Ye Lu."
The email sent to the company, of course, was not from Ye Lu, but from her, designed to make Shang Jingchen feel dense guilt and hate Ye Lu even more.
Now, Shang Jingchen is finally going to marry her. Her plan is gradually coming to fruition.
The next step is the most important part.
She had to find a computer expert to assist. Soon, everything would be done.
"Hahaha...."
...
Ye Lu spent her days comfortably in the old Gu family house, cooking and tending the plants.
The tranquility felt so unreal, it was as if she was back to her life eight years ago.
"Dinner’s ready." Ye Lu pushed a cart of delicious dishes into the study.
Inside, she found several senior executives from Gu Company in a serious discussion.
Ye Lu sensed the unusual atmosphere and felt uneasy.
"What happened?"
Gu Yan shook his head lightly, "Nothing serious, just some slight volatility in Gu Company’s stocks."
"President Gu, this is not slight. There must be someone attacking us from behind. Otherwise, things wouldn’t have turned downhill so suddenly. We fear there might be bigger attacks that could shake the foundation of Gu Company." All executives wore serious faces, full of worried.
Shocked, Ye Lu asked herself, what could have happened to Gu Company’s stocks to make things this serious?
Another worried manager speculated, "The way things are headed, it’s as if someone is planning to cripple us. I dread to think what else they might have planned. Who could it be? The Gu Company hasn’t offended anyone that would justify this kind of ruthless attack."
"Enough, stop talking. It’s not that serious yet." Gu Yan said, clearly displeased.
Ye Lu left the study, hastily turned the computer on, and checked the stock market.
At first glance, she gasped. Gu Company’s stock performance was indeed abnormal. The prices had spiked in the morning, almost reaching the peak, only to plummet drastically in the afternoon.
Considering such strange fluctuations, it would be hard to believe there was no foul play involved.
Appalled, Ye Lu wondered who could be orchestrating such a large-scale attack on Gu Company.
She went online to read the financial news, hoping to get experts’ analysis. Instead, she found news about the Shang Family.
The Shang Family’s stock had fallen even more sharply, almost resembling a waterfall, chilling investors to the bone.
"So many scandals involving the Shang Family have surfaced." Ye Lu was astounded as every headline on her screen mentioned scandals revolving around the Shang Family. Although she did not feel sympathy for Shang Jingchen, she knew that Old Sir Shang must be worried seeing news like this about the empire he had built single-handedly!
Right, she had divorced Shang Jingchen recently, and the stock transfer back to Old Sir Shang was underway.
With the current stock volatility, she better hurry up and transfer the share rights back to Old Sir Shang. It may help to restore the investors’ confidence.
Ye Lu immediately called Old Sir Shang and arranged to meet him tomorrow to hand over the transfer contract. It was the last little bit she could do to help.
Throughout the night, the light in the study room remained on, with Gu Yan and the senior executives having meeting till dawn.
Watching this, Ye Lu felt anxious as well.
