quickly replied, "I promise you!"Rong Ling smiled evilly, leaning against the luxurious leather chair. One hand lightly swayed a goblet filled with red wine, the other gently tapping the armrest of t...Lin Meng, who had fully reacted, came alive all of a sudden, as if she had been injected with chicken blood, her excitement was palpable. ( ... tw pretty good novels) It seemed that the alcohol-fueled frenzy last night had not been in vain.

"Let's go eat something delicious! I love delicious food!" Her eyes sparkled, she looked like a little child, cute and adorable, then she pounced on Rong Ling, hugging him tightly and hanging onto him.

"And with Youyou, hehe, let him have some delicious food too!" She never forgot her precious son.

Rong Ling nodded, enjoying the sight of her so excited.

A beautiful person, in fact, whatever they do, always appears kind and pleasing.

Lin Meng started to want to pick up Xiao Youyou and ask for leave for him. Anyway, kindergarten is kind of a daycare, taking leave isn't a big deal.

Thinking again, Lin Meng remembered that she still had some things to deal with today.

"Do you have a computer!"

Rong Ling led Lin Meng to the study and watched as Lin Meng opened the stock software and entered the stock market.

"Huh! How did it get delisted!"

Lin Meng's face changed slightly. The Jian'an Sen Gong stock she was watching had been suspended, and the stock list was blank, meaning she could no longer buy or sell it. After taking a closer look at the company's announcement, it stated that it would be undergoing restructuring and reorganization, hence the suspension.

Lin Meng frowned, a little worried. She was quite bullish on the stock of Sen Gong, and wasn't afraid it would drop to its limit price after resuming trading. But just as she wanted to continue buying shares, the company announced a trading halt. She felt that there might be a reason behind this. Indeed, pouring in seven million at once would definitely attract attention.

"How much did you buy!" Rong Ling helped her up, sat down himself, and then let her sit on his lap.

"Bought 47.8% of all the shares! I was planning on raising more money to buy some more, over 51%! "

"Are you interested in this company!" Rong Ling asked in a low voice, then his eyes flashed and he let out a cold snort. "Is this another way to add to the dowry for the Ruan family!"

She stammered for a moment before nodding, looking like a dutiful daughter-in-law! Then she raised her head and gave him an innocent, silly smile that left him speechless.

"It's not that simple!" He pinched his cheek punitively, saying lightly. "You want to take control of this company!"

"Hmm."

"Do you think that owning more than 50% of the outstanding shares gives you complete control!"

"What's wrong with that!" She felt the negativity in his words and tilted her head at him, puzzled.

He patted her head and scolded softly, "Silly girl!"

She pouted her lips in displeasure.

He explained softly, "The situation domestically is different from abroad. Your approach works abroad because foreign companies' shares are basically all publicly traded. But things are different here in the domestic market, where there are both publicly traded and non-publicly traded shares. Although there are more fully traded companies in China now, state-owned enterprises generally hold non-tradable shares. They typically don't allow more than 30% of their shares to be traded publicly, which is a way to prevent hostile takeovers. Jian'an Sen Gong used to be a state-owned enterprise, and even after it was converted into a private company, it still followed the old ways. It is certain that some non-tradable shares are still in the hands of the shareholders!"

"Ah!" Lin Meng slapped her own head in frustration, muttering to herself. "How could I have forgotten this! I've been so busy my brain isn't working properly! But――"

She thought for a moment and said, "I asked a friend to find out before. They said that many shareholders of Sen Gong had sold their stocks, this... shouldn't leave too many non-circulating shares, right Besides, Sen Gong is not a real state-owned enterprise, it has already been converted into a private company, I estimate that many of the non-circulating shares should have been converted into circulating shares!"

"Well, that's true. This company hasn't been doing well financially in recent years!"

"You think so too!" Lin Meng looked at Rong Ling with delight. This surprised expression was unlike a proper manager, at least, the impression managers gave was that they needed to be calm enough.

He shook his head slightly. "It's not like that. San Gong is more responsible, I wouldn't advise you to get involved!"

Rong Ling, being an excellent businessman, naturally had a wide network of information and a sharp, far-sighted vision. He had long noticed the company Mori Gong (森工). At the time, he even considered acquiring it. After all, Mori Gong controlled two major mountain ranges, which were among the most famous in the country. These mountains were rich in forestry resources and held great development value. Nowadays, land is becoming increasingly scarce, and there is less and less usable land available. Many people have begun to focus their attention on these large mountains. The two mountain ranges controlled by Mori Gong are primeval forest areas. In this country, where greening is receiving increasing attention but trees are becoming scarcer, such primeval forests will inevitably be valued in the future. Moreover, with such massive mountain ranges, there are other resources to be developed as well!

However, the complexity of SenGong lies in its transformation from a state-owned enterprise. Although it has become a private company, it still retains one drawback of state-owned enterprises – a complex power structure. These factions are unwilling to submit to each other, and everyone only wants to make money without wanting to put in the work. As a result, the company is gradually being drained, with its performance declining day by day.

Such a company would be a headache to take over. Those shareholders are all influential figures with connections in the government. You can't just fire them, because that would offend a lot of people; but if you don't fire them, then it's very difficult to restructure the company. Moreover, with the government's recent encouragement and support for "green environmental protection" policies, it's clear that Sen Gong, which holds mining rights to two mountain ranges, is definitely not an easy target!

Merchants pursue the simplest and most effective ways to obtain the greatest profit in the shortest time. Rong Ling had his think tank calculate, and they unanimously decided to give up the acquisition of Sen Gong. They figured that during this time, it would be more worthwhile to focus on other companies. In the end, the profit from those ventures would definitely be higher than from Sen Gong, and they wouldn't face any unnecessary trouble!

"You're lucky!"

Lin Meng pouted her lips in displeasure. "You're laughing at me!"

Her slightly flushed cheeks betrayed a hint of embarrassment.

“Stupid!” he still reprimanded, but with a doting kind of tone. “Listen to me carefully. First, that SenGong is tough nut to crack; you can’t bite into it, and in the end, you’ll only exhaust yourself to the point where you can’t sleep or eat. Second, SenGong was once a state-owned enterprise, so its foundation isn’t weak. Although it has been going downhill these years and the company is almost becoming an empty shell, it still has some capital. Hundreds of millions in net assets are not something that GuangDa can swallow in one gulp. Third, SenGong has a shareholder called Song Lian. Although he doesn’t take much charge, he’s a very sentimental person. He watched SenGong grow step by step, and he absolutely won’t allow it to collapse. Moreover, the old man has some connections, knowing quite a few people in the official circles. If you want to snatch this treasure from the old man, be careful not to bite off more than you can chew. I can assure you that initially, the old man held 20% of the shares, and now he definitely hasn’t reduced even a single point!”

Now that the company is suspended, it's only beneficial for you and has no downsides. Firstly, you won't have to keep foolishly throwing money at it, only to be hated in the end. Secondly, I estimate that the shares you acquired make up roughly thirty percent of all shares. As such, you are completely eligible to enter the shareholders' meeting and gain a certain degree of speaking power. At that point, you can act as a hands-off boss while ensuring that Senko prioritizes serving Guangda as much as possible.

"That dyeing vat of the Forest Engineering department, you'd better stay out of it. Otherwise, you'll become more and more unclear."

Lin Meng rested her chin in her hand, thought for a moment, and let out a long sigh. "You're making it sound really scary!"

“This mall is not that simple!” He gently bit her small ear. “In this country, there's no government paving the way for you. If you want to run a big business, it’s practically a pipe dream. To be the CEO of a major company, you have to deal with so many people. In this country, strength is one part, but connections are another. To achieve great things, both are indispensable.”

"It's not suitable for you!" he concluded.

She stuck out her tongue and shrugged her tiny shoulders, playfully replying, "Fortunately, I don't plan on going in that direction. Hehe, I'll just make a little money at home. No need to rely on connections!"

"You don't need to either!" She was his woman, the storms outside were naturally for him to bear. His woman, he wouldn't stand idly by and watch her go to others for help!

She listened, chuckled softly, and didn't think much of it.

Then I won't buy this stock anymore!

Rong Ling hummed in response and added, "If Sen Gong is really going to restructure, with your shares, you'd be eligible to attend the shareholders' meeting. Someone should contact you at that time. You don't have to worry too much. This company won't collapse in the short term!"

"Hmm," she felt his concern and comfort, her heart warmed, and a smile couldn't help but spread across her face.

"If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have run around these days looking for money. I'm almost exhausted!" After finishing her words, she glared at him coquettishly and complained, "In the end, you even tricked me!"

When it came to this matter, Rong Ling felt a little awkward inside, but he was Rong Ling after all, naturally possessing the powerful ability to gloss things over.

“It’s not really a design, just happened to coincide. I know your company is in trouble and needs opportunities, so I let the second child give you a chance.”

"Why did Qin Director have to pick me!"

Following this line of thinking, the results would be disastrous! Rong Ling lowered his head and kissed her, interrupting her train of thought. He continued, "Go back and have your company prepare properly. You won't be working in vain these days. Some work will be delegated to you later."

"Hm!" Lin Meng trailed her chin, a smirk playing on her lips as she looked at Rong Ling, blinking slowly. "Could this be considered...having something to do with me…"

"You don't have confidence in your own company!" he retorted, throwing the question right back at her. It was both clever and cunning.

She let out a little giggle. "Of course I'm confident. Just you wait and see, you'll be satisfied in the end!"

Then that'll work!

She immediately cut her losses and stopped delving deeper into the issue. Afterward, she logged out of that account and then logged into two others: one was her own, and the other was one she had set up for Sun Fei. She either reduced or increased her positions, doing these things without any precautions whatsoever, acting very generously!

This is actually also a kind of trust!

Rong Ling silently took it to heart!

He watched without a sound, but he was also a little startled. It seemed that this little woman said that in another few months she could pay back what she owed him, and it wasn't just talk.

He knew she studied economics in the US and did very well, but he still underestimated her. In fact, the fact that both of them were interested in Senko showed she was quite capable. Looking at her actions, with Senko's stock price falling all the way down, she had the courage to buy so many shares on her own, which already showed her extraordinary ability. After glancing at the stocks she invested in, he realized they weren't unfamiliar to him. Looking at her buying and selling records, he was even more surprised by her boldness!

Rong Ling also dabbles in the stock market. As they say, "insiders see the inside track," and at a glance, it's clear to see how deep he goes!

This little woman has really learned a thing or two!

For a moment, Rong Ling's emotions were complicated. In her memory, she still remembered the innocent girl back then, whose eyes held only him. She ran towards him recklessly in the midst of traffic, risking her life, tears streaming down her face as she begged him to take care of her. Now, she had become a capable single mother!

Grabbing her waist tightly, he squeezed it!

She turned her head and looked at him in confusion, asking, "What is it!"

He lowered his head and gently kissed her.

She immediately blushed and turned her head away, staring at the computer screen.

A glimmer of amusement flashed in his eyes, that shyness never seemed to fade!

Lin Meng finished his work and naturally went to pick up his precious son with great joy. When the little one saw Lin Meng and Rong Ling appear together, he wasn't very happy instead, he pouted, a resentful expression appeared on his fair little face.

Lin Meng looked a little dumbfounded.

"Yoyo, what's wrong!" Lin Meng squatted down and affectionately touched the little guy's face. "Did you see Mommy was unhappy! Or, did you have an unpleasant time with other children!"

This shouldn't be possible. According to Ah Yi, this little guy is now almost the king of the kindergarten kids. Especially after his long vacation, Rong Ling personally sent him over and transferred him from the small class to the middle class, this little guy has become even more popular. The children in this kindergarten are all small but mischievous, mostly little goblins. After this incident, looking around, there are very few other children who don't get along with this little guy!

The little guy isn't really being a troublemaker. He’s quite capable, naturally able to tame all the other children!

He was angry, there were other reasons! ahead and try. Just don't come looking for me. As for him, I won't concern myself with his affairs anymore!"This father, for him, even knelt before his other son! What else does she want from him!“Wh...
