Chapter 183: I'm Not Ashamed

A middle-aged person who had been proud and arrogant for half a lifetime, when had she ever suffered such grievances?

She just knew that those who did Live Streaming were no good; look at what they had turned this group of fans into.

So what if they sell goods?

Lin Sui can sell them, so why can't others?

Why is no one scolding Lin Sui?

How would she know that Lin Sui had always alternated between performing, selling goods, and talent PKs during her broadcasts, so the audience never found anything she did strange.

Because there was a precedent.

Plus, Lin Sui had explicitly stated that she was just doing it for the money, so it was even more normal for her to sell goods.

But many of the Live Streamers at Meng Zeming's Company were not goods-selling Live Streamers; suddenly starting to sell all sorts of messy things without any warning made it hard not to make people overthink whether they were being controlled by capital.

Looking at it now, it really looked like the entire Fenghua Media had been controlled.

Regarding the public opinion on the internet, Meng Zeming urgently convened a shareholders' meeting to discuss the matter.

Calling it a discussion would be better described as a unilateral crusade against Meng Ke alone.

A small shareholder who didn't even have ten percent of the shares, relying on being a relative of the president, acting recklessly in the Company.

If they didn't crusade against her, who would they crusade against?

Meng Ke wanted to flip out on the spot, but her shares truly left her with no say in this meeting.

Leaving the conference room, her entire face was dark.

Meng Zeming followed behind her and said patiently, "Aunt, it's not that I don't want to help you this time, but you really went a bit too far."

Meng Ke was in the heat of anger, "Then why didn't you stop me at the time?"

"Huh?" Meng Zeming was stunned by her question; how could she say such shameless words?

"Could I have stopped you?"

Meng Ke said again, "Your Company's Live Streamers are still not good enough."

Meng Zeming couldn't even bring himself to talk to her properly anymore, "Ah, yes, yes, yes, the Live Streamers in my Company are all trash, go find Lin Sui then!"

Meng Ke: "..."

She took a deep breath and started playing the family card, "Meng Zeming, when you founded this Company, your parents didn't support you; wasn't it me who gave you the money to build it?"

"..."

The little money she gave wasn't even enough to rent a studio.

But to him at that time, it was indeed timely help, and she was the only one who supported his startup, even though she was very pessimistic about the Live Streaming industry.

Meng Zeming had always remembered this, which was why he had been willing to tolerate her for so many years.

It still came back to that: he shouldn't have been so itchy-handed back then and sent Lin Sui's photo to her.

Without that incident, they could have lived in peace.

Now that it had reached this point, there was no turning back!

"Aunt, I'll return the money to you, you should withdraw."

He still didn't say anything too excessive.

"Heh." Meng Ke sneered, "Ungrateful wretch."

Meng Zeming asked seriously, "In your eyes, who isn't an ungrateful wretch?"

"..."

Meng Ke was silent for a moment, then calmed down, "Then return the money to me, I won't ask for interest, and I will sell the Company shares directly."

Meng Zeming: "? You aren't returning them to me?"

Meng Ke glanced at him, "Do you think I'm stupid? Selling them now is several times more than what I invested, why would I return them directly to you? Oh right, also remember to refund all the slotting fees I paid for your family's Live Streamers during this period."

"They are all trash, they can't even sell goods well! And they dare to call themselves Live Streamers!"

Meng Zeming took a deep breath, "Aunt, do you really have to be this ruthless?"

"Don't call me Aunt." She withdrew her gaze, "I watched you grow up, and now you kick me out just like that; I don't see you treating me like an aunt either."

Dropping these words, Meng Ke left directly.

Meng Zeming watched her departing back, slightly dazed.

But he soon let it go.

How could someone who didn't care about her husband or children care about him, a nephew?

He immediately took out his phone and sent a message to Lin Sui.

Meng Zeming: "It's done."

That night, Lin Sui saw the seven percent of shares Meng Ke was selling, and the asking price was quite high.

She wanted to make a big profit before leaving.

But no one was a sucker.

Lin Sui chatted with her using a secondary account and analyzed the current situation of Fenghua Media from a businessman's perspective.

Because of Meng Ke, Fenghua Media had a lot of negative public opinion on the internet, so it simply wasn't worth that price.

The result was the other party saying: "Take it or leave it."

OK, Lin Sui wouldn't take it.

She had plenty of time to wait.

Lin Sui didn't succeed on her end, and Meng Zeming didn't clarify anything on his end either.

He still let the public opinion on the internet ferment, saying that Fenghua Media was finished.

Many people were preparing to jump ship and run away.

Meng Ke hadn't even expected that her actions would have such a big impact.

Perhaps this is a case of one bad apple spoiling the whole bunch.

The stock price of Fenghua Media kept falling, falling, falling, falling until it was tiresome.

The shares she held were truly about to become worthless!

Meng Ke immediately reconnected with Lin Sui's secondary account, wanting Lin Sui to purchase them at the price she had previously proposed.

Lin Sui went straight for the "Dragon-Slaying Saber" cut, slashing the price in half, and dropped a single line: "Take it or leave it."

Meng Ke gritted her teeth and sold.

Otherwise, once the Company went bankrupt, they would be worth nothing.

Thus, Lin Sui sent A Fu to handle the transaction with her.

Otherwise, she was afraid that if Meng Ke saw the other party was her, she would suddenly refuse to sell.

The few of them met at a coffee shop near Fenghua Media.

Seeing that the person trading with her was A Fu, Meng Ke's expression turned sour.

Wasn't it said that this kid was very wealthy? That he had a large company abroad!

Bargaining so ruthlessly? He was quite stingy.

A Fu had nothing to chat about with her; he simply finished checking all the documents and urged her to sign quickly.

Just as the other party finished signing and it was A Fu's turn to sign, Lin Sui suddenly appeared.

This was the first time Lin Sui and Meng Ke had met in person in such a long time.

"Why are you here?"

Meng Ke felt annoyed the moment she saw Lin Sui.

Especially since she had been watching her Live Streaming Room recently and saw how popular she was.

She had even managed to get connected with the Yun Clan!

It was an emotion known as jealousy.

Lin Sui let out a sound, "This lady, don't get agitated just because you see me; I'm just here to sign a paper and leave."

Meng Ke's alarm bells rang, "Sign what paper?"

A Fu picked up all the documents Meng Ke had finished signing and the pen from the table, handing them all to Lin Sui.

Right in front of her, Lin Sui wrote the name Lin Sui in the empty signature field.

"Are you two setting me up?"

Meng Ke realized what was happening and, in a rage, rushed forward to snatch the documents, not wanting these shares to end up with Lin Sui.

A Fu reacted extremely quickly and blocked the way in front of Lin Sui.

But...

He was pushed aside in one go!

A Fu: "?"

He had been working out recently!

He wasn't that weak, was he?

Lin Sui finished signing quickly, tossed the documents onto an empty table behind her, and incidentally steadied the pushed-aside A Fu.

Her other hand pressed against Meng Ke's chest with great force, preventing Meng Ke from advancing any further.

A Fu: "..." No way?

As if sensing his mood, Lin Sui turned her head to soothe him, "You can't stop a woman in a rage."

"Take the documents and go back to Meng Zeming's Company to wait for me first."

A Fu: "Oh..."

He was going to eat protein powder like a meal when he got back!

Meng Ke hadn't expected A Fu to be so obedient.

"Aren't you her investor?" she shouted at A Fu's back, "Why listen to her so much?"

A Fu paused, "Being an investor means investing in her doing anything, not hindering her from doing anything."

He looked back at Meng Ke, "Whether as an investor or as a person, you are quite a failure."

Having said that, he left the coffee shop.

Lin Sui couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Brother Fu had grown up; he even knew how to curse people now.

"He cursed your mother like that, and you're still laughing?" Meng Ke glared at Lin Sui.

Lin Sui released the hand pressing against her chest, "This lady, please have some self-respect."

"Are you sure you acknowledge the relationship between us? If you are sure, I will return to your Company and inherit all your assets; after all, I am your biological daughter."

Meng Ke pushed her away and walked out, "In your dreams! Let's see how many years you can eat off your youth by doing Live Streaming? Don't come begging me when the time comes!"

Lin Sui watched her back, "I hope you won't mention our relationship to outsiders in the future either; you've seen the power of the internet."

"By then, the pension insurance of your broken Company might end up just like Fenghua Media."

"Dead in a snap, and your half-life of hard work will have been for nothing."

Meng Ke: "... Mention you? I'd be embarrassed!"

Lin Sui nodded, "Mm-hmm, I'm not embarrassed; I'd be very happy to tell my 25 million fans about my mother's actions."

"..."

The threat was laid out right on the table.

They really were all a bunch of ingrates!

That night, Meng Ke bought a plane ticket and left Jiangcheng.

A bunch of bumpkin relatives who can only stay in Jiangcheng, better off without them!
