Chapter 1738

Although Shengyuan Group's stock has indeed been continuously declining, this has nothing to do with purchasing shares of Shengyuan Group.

"That's right!" Su Jin nodded: "My father is ill, so I hope to help treat him by acquiring Shengyuan Group's stock!"

Speaking last, Su Jin's tone was resolute: "As long as everyone is willing to sell me Shengyuan Group's stock, I promise not to let you down—once my father recovers, we will compensate you all!"

Hearing Su Jin's words, the other executives in the office exchanged glances, then a man resembling a leader said: "Young Lady Su Jin, if we sell our shares to you, then Senior Chairman Su's condition may worsen."

Senior Chairman Su?

At this moment, everyone froze for a moment.

No one had expected that Su Jin's father was still alive.

"My father is still lying in the hospital," Su Jin sighed.

She lost her mother in childhood and grew up relying solely on her father, Su Jianguo; their bond was extremely deep, and her father, Su Jianguo, doted on her.

That's why Su Jincai Society wanted to buy Shengyuan Group's stock to help her father recover.

After all, Su Jin knew her father's condition was dire—if his illness continued to deteriorate, then… Su Jin feared she would lose her father.

"Young Lady Su Jin, forgive me for saying so, but this risk is simply too great," said a middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses and a goatee, stepping forward.

His name was Li Yuanji, Assistant to the President of Shengyuan Group, responsible for its operations.

Shengyuan Group is one of China's top three enterprises; every project it invests in is massive, and its daily profits are staggering, so all its shareholders strive to gain controlling stakes.

But because of Su Jin, none of these shareholders dared to use their own shares, fearing it might affect their equity.

"That's right! Young Lady Su Jin, if you want to purchase forty-two percent of Shengyuan Group's shares, we certainly have no problem—but Senior Chairman Su's side will be troublesome."

"Senior Chairman Su is the founder of Shengyuan Group, and he is currently under hospital observation; if your shares are transferred to him, I fear unpredictable problems may arise."

"These shares belong to the board members; if you rashly transfer them to Senior Chairman Su, and something goes wrong…"

"For Young Lady Su Jin, this would be an absolutely foolish move."

Hearing the executives speak one after another, Su Jin's expression grew colder.

These executives clearly did not want to hand over their shares!

"Young Lady Su Jin, excuse me, what portion of shares are you planning to buy today?" someone asked.

He was a young man, Executive Vice President of Shengyuan Group, and Su Jin's cousin—Su Haixuan!

"I want fifty-one percent of the shares!" Su Jin said bluntly.

"What?"

The moment Su Jin spoke, the entire office fell into dead silence.

All the executives were stunned.

Buying fifty-one percent of Shengyuan Group's equity would mean half the company's control rests in the Su family's hands!

This was not a simple number—misstep it, and the Su family could swallow them whole.

Watching the executives' shocked faces, Su Jin smiled slightly, as if she saw nothing wrong with this.

"Young Lady Su Jin, forgive me for saying so, but if you truly wish to purchase fifty-one percent of Shengyuan Group's shares, you must first present sufficient collateral—otherwise, we cannot agree."

Su Jin nodded: "I've already considered it."

Saying this, she pulled a check from her handbag and placed it on the table.

"Here are eighty million Hong Kong dollars," Su Jin said: "If you agree to let me purchase fifty-one percent of the shares, this check is yours."

"What?"

Seeing this, every executive's face showed profound surprise!

They all recognized this check!

Because it was last night that Su Qing and Su Beizhou had just called Su Jin!

"This eighty million is borrowed—if we don't sell our shares, my father will never wake up, and this cost will exceed your capacity to bear," Su Jin stared at the executives, her voice icy: "My demand is simple—only one: you must cooperate with me to complete the acquisition!"

Hearing Su Jin's words, the executives fell silent.

After a long while, one executive finally shook his head, bitterly saying: "Young Lady Su Jin, we truly lack the courage to gamble."

"How will you know unless you try?" Su Jin said: "If you refuse, I'll have to seek help from someone else."

The "someone else" Su Jin meant was Lin Fuzhang!

"Sigh…"

At that moment, a middle-aged man beside them let out a heavy sigh.

"Young Lady Su Jin, we know your situation is dire, but we cannot bear to see a young woman face such a massive crisis alone, so we still advise you to choose another path."

After a pause, the man said: "Or, you could speak with your father."

Speak with her father…

Su Jin's gaze dimmed slightly.

She knew Senior Chairman Su was already unconscious and would not listen to her—his condition might even worsen from agitation.

Moreover, Senior Chairman Su was now critically ill; Su Jin had no permission even to visit him.

"This matter is non-negotiable—I believe I've already made my plan," Su Jin stood up: "Thank you all for your kind warnings."

Saying this, she left.

Watching the empty doorway, Nie Xiaoqian shook her head: "Sigh, Su Jin is so pitiful—she has such outstanding professional ability, yet she's faced with so many hardships."

Another executive frowned: "This girl Su Jin is too stubborn—even though Senior Chairman Su is unconscious, Su Group hasn't collapsed; why must she rush to destroy herself?"

"I've advised her before, but she wouldn't listen."

"This child must be under too much pressure to make such an impulsive choice."

…………

The voices of these executives kept coming, as if they were unmoved by Su Jin's request, and instead all regarded it as an utterly foolish idea.

Su Jin stepped out of the Shengyuan Group building, looked up at the gloomy blue sky and white clouds, then softly chuckled to herself: "Things in this world are always linked in chains; one misstep, and the whole game is lost. My father is now unconscious—I cannot let Shengyuan Group fall apart too."

Saying this, she pulled out her phone and dialed a number.

The number's end was labeled: Ximen Wudi.

Su Lingkai had once said he was friends with Ximen Wudi—a memory Su Jin still held clearly—but Su Jin also knew there was little trust or friendship between the two.

"Hey, Rui Ge, it's me," Su Jin took a deep breath and said: "I want to sell you fifty-one percent of my shares, but I have one condition—if word of this sale leaks out, I hope you, Rui Ge, will protect my safety."

Upon hearing this, Ximen Wudi's eyes sharply narrowed, releasing a dangerous glint from his pupils!

"Heh, it seems some people still haven't given up their scheming," Ximen Wudi grinned: "Don't worry—you're of the Su family; no one will touch you. I accept."

After hanging up, Ximen Wudi let out a cold snort: "If you want to bring down Shengyuan Group, don't blame me for being ruthless."

…………

News of Su Jin's departure from Shengyuan Group quickly spread throughout Ninghai.

"My god, is Su Jin selling her shares?"

"She's the future heir of the Su family—now she's selling her shares? Is Shengyuan Group about to change its surname entirely?"

"Su Qing's daughter-in-law isn't some naive girl—why would she suddenly do this?"

"This whole affair is huge. Old Master Su suddenly had a cerebral hemorrhage and fell unconscious; Su Jin is truly panicked and wants to cash in while she can."

"Tsk tsk tsk—this is cutting the fuel from under the pot. It's pushing Shengyuan Group to the brink. I'd bet if it loses its shares, it'll go bankrupt within days."

"That harsh? Isn't Su Jin Old Master Su's favorite granddaughter?"

"Yes, the Old Master is unconscious, and Su Qing has been named the heir—but now it looks like Su Jin is trying to seize the Su family's assets."

"I doubt it. The Su family is deeply divided; even if she wanted to fight for the family's wealth, she probably lacks the power."

Public opinion buzzed chaotically.

Online, Su Jin's image plummeted to rock bottom, even being labeled "the Su family's traitor."

Yet none of this had anything to do with Su Jin.

She sat in the driver's seat, staring straight ahead.
