For the next two days, I stayed home and studied all day long.
Suddenly, I found I got the motivation I had when I was preparing for my college entrance exams, and I was having fun while I was working hard.
Interestingly, Leon also never left his house and stayed in his study all day.
I did not quite see him staying at home in the past, but now he was at home every day, which made me very uncomfortable.
Every now and then he would put his hand behind his back and walk up to me like an old pedant to see what I was learning, and usually in this case I would roll my eyes at him, and he would turn a blind eye to this and walk away again with his hands behind his back.
I had been secretly watching him to see if he would go out to see Nan Lin, but then I confirmed that he really had never been out.
As for whether he had someone else visit her instead of him, then I didn’t know.
At noon that day, he walked in again like an old pedant, and I recited these files with my head down and didn’t look up at him, and he gave a soft cough.
“I’m coming.” He could only made a sound to indicate that he was coming.
I couldn’t be too disrespectful to him either, so I had to answer him.
“Have you memorized these documents?” He asked again. He sounded like my head teacher in high school when he asked me questions.
“I’ve gone through most of these materials and there’s only a little bit left unread.”
“The most important thing is how much do you remember.”
“I have remembered about ninety percent of it. I can remember everything I’ve ever read. But I can’t promise I’ll be able to say it on the spot. It’s like a test, I usually feel good about studying, but when it comes to being able to get a high grade, I’m not very confident.”
“I’m not asking you to take an exam, but I’m asking you to familiarize yourself with the company’s everything so that when you attend the shareholders’ meeting and people ask you questions, you won’t know nothing.” Leon corrected me.
I nodded, but I still didn’t really get it.
Leon pulled up a chair and sat down next to me, and then took out his phone. I went about my own business and didn’t pay him any attention.
“Who is he?” He suddenly held up his phone and asked me.
On the screen of his phone was a man in his fifties wearing a suit. He was bald with small eyes and a big nose.
“Gang Hua, the managing director of Hua Group, is also your second uncle. He holds a twelve percent stake of Hua Group.”I quickly recalled in my mind what I had just read about him.
Leon looked at me approvingly, “Can you give me more information about him?”
“He likes to collect antique calligraphy and paintings, and has some influence in the collectibles community in Hai City. But in my opinion, he’s some kind of artsy. He often attends a few auctions and occasionally bats something back. From the video of his interview, I think he knows very little about antiques. I guess he must be a very vain man.”
“The information I gave you didn’t contain that, did it?” Leon said.
“I looked it up online myself. I certainly have to be familiar with those few major shareholders on the board of directors of Hua Group. After all, all the struggles for profit are about them.” I replied.
“It seems that you’re not stupid ” Leon looked at me even more approvingly, but he still said coldly. He really wasn’t willing to give me a compliment.
“But to my surprise, Ruoxin Chen is also on the Board of Directors. I really didn’t expect that.”
“What is it you didn’t expect? Do you mean she is not capable or something? If you’re talking about her ability, then I’m telling you, it’s not all elites that join the board. As long as people have enough money and holds enough equity in Hua Group, then he can join the board. Ruoxin Chen is a representative of a company in which she holds a lot of shares in Hua Group, so she is a member of the board. In addition, she is the daughter of the mayor. Wouldn’t it be a great thing if Hua Group had the daughter of the mayor as a director?”
“That’s exactly what I can’t figure out. Doesn’t the mayor’s daughter need to avert suspicion?”
“The mayor is clean and honest, and It’s normal for her daughter to do business. He didn’t use his power to help his daughter, so there is nothing to avoid suspicion.” Leon said.
“So she is still a strong, competent woman. Then why didn’t you marry her before and use me as an excuse to run away?”
“Because I’m happy to do it. I don’t need a reason.”
This, naturally, was not what he really had in mind. He just didn’t want to tell me why.
“I remember when she kidnapped me, she has been reluctant to break her engagement to you, and said she would not leave you alone. It was only later that Xuanlong spoke to her in her ear and she agreed finally. What did Xuanlong say to her at that time?”
“Why do you want to know that? Are you jealous of her?” Leon asked.
“No, I just want to know, how did you guys convince a mayor’s daughter. In my opinion, a mayor’s daughter is not so easy to compromise. You are so handsome and capable, just tell me why, ok?” I said gently.
Leon seemed to enjoy my flattery of him. He habitually narrowed his eyes slightly, “She relies on her illustrious background and has always acted slutty. I have some videos of her slutty behavior. I asked Xuanlong to tell her that if she dared to threaten me, I would put the videos online, so she compromised.”
I couldn’t help but laugh.
“What are you laughing at?”
“I know why you don’t marry her. I finally know the truth?”
“What?”
“It’s because she had an affair, and that’s why you didn’t marry her. Then you use me to get rid of Ruoxin Chen. You actually like her, you just can’t stand it when she acts slutty. You’re the one who got dumped.” I said with a smile.
“Nonsense, she’s not hitting on a guy yet. She’s having an affair with Haixia, the female host of Hai TV!”
Leon suddenly shut up when he said that, because he realized that he had fallen for my trick and told me Ruoxin Chen’s secret.
“Oh, so it turns out that she likes both men and women. She’s amazing. She sets an example for us women!” I said sarcastically.
“You cut the crap. My family wanted me to marry Ruoxin Chen because of her background and the equity. If I married her, I could replace her as a director of Hua Group and then slowly get her equity. But now I’m married to you, so you have to accomplish what I can achieve by marrying Ruoxin Chen. That’s what you’re supposed to do. If you can’t do it, we’ll get a divorce!”
He still had this plan? Why do I, a woman, have to be responsible for a dispute of interest between them.
“Ok, let’s get a divorce then.” I threw my pen on the table.
“If we get divorced, I have to collect the interests you owe me. The interest is $300, 000 per day. Today is the fourth day you ask me for payment, and you already owe me $4. 2 million, including the principal plus interest. Before you want a divorce, pay me back the money. If you don’t pay me, I’ll have the fiercest debt collector of Hai City demand a debt from you. They’ll call you before dawn, they’ll put bloody pig’s head under your covers and then drive you crazy.”
That’s an outright threat!
