Chapter 32 Su Qiao'er was helpless; how did such a good company end up like this?

Su Qiaoer felt helpless. How did such a fine company end up like this?

"Su Qiaoer."

When Su Qiaoer received the call from Zheng Tian, she was naturally happy. In the current business circle, it seemed only Father Zheng still had some intention of saving her and Su Group; as for other companies... they were likely avoiding her like the plague.

"How is it, Xiao Tian? What is Uncle's attitude?"

At this moment, Su Qiaoer asked hurriedly, which showed just how anxious she was. Hearing this, Zheng Tian took a deep breath.

"Dad's meaning is that he can consider injecting 20 billion into your Su Group, but you also know... giving money is fine, but it requires some assets."

Hearing this, Su Qiaoer frowned.

"Assets? What assets? What does Uncle want?"

Su Qiaoer had an ominous feeling. Since the other party had asked like that, Zheng Tian surely wouldn't hide anything. He took a deep breath.

"Dad's meaning is... 20% of the shares of Su Chemical. If you agree, the 20 billion can be transferred directly into your account today or tomorrow..."

"Su Qiaoer, think about it. With Su Group in this state, no matter how much capital you inject, there's no way to save it. So, in this situation, I think you need to consider the future."

Zheng Tian also knew that this request was a bit too unscrupulous, so before making the call, he had already thought up some good rhetoric, hoping to use these words to get Su Qiaoer to agree.

"What do you mean?"

"Think about it, we are husband and wife now. If you transfer this high-quality asset, Su Chemical, to my dad's name, in the future, it will be our asset."

At this moment, Su Qiaoer understood Zheng Tian's meaning.

They didn't think Su Group had any value worth saving now. In this case, if they could obtain shares of Su Chemical at a low price, even if Su Qiaoer were to be kicked out of the position of Chairman of Su Group in the future, the shares of Su Chemical would still belong to the Zheng Family. Right now, Zheng Tian was using their status as husband and wife to bind himself to Su Qiaoer, making her believe that although these shares were registered under his father's name, they would belong to him and Su Qiaoer in the future.

"However, Su Qiaoer, if we could exchange for more shares, that would certainly be even better."

Hearing this, Su Qiaoer kept tapping her fingers on the desk; she was feeling conflicted inside.

"Su Qiaoer, are you listening to me?"

Perhaps feeling that Su Qiaoer had been silent for too long, Zheng Tian spoke up. Hearing this, Su Qiaoer came back to her senses.

"This..."

"Su Qiaoer, anyway, Dad thinks this is a good outcome. Otherwise, if you leave the position of Chairman of Su Group in the future, you will truly have nothing. You know your uncle hates you to the bone; if he becomes the chairman, he will definitely target you. But if you give us a portion of the Su Chemical shares, it will serve as a guarantee for your and our future."

Hearing this, Su Qiaoer took a deep breath.

"This matter... I need to think about it carefully."

Zheng Tian was a bit anxious. He had expected her to agree immediately, but didn't expect her to want to consider it. However, Zheng Tian also knew that he couldn't be anxious right now. If he appeared anxious, Su Qiaoer might feel something was off. Therefore, Zheng Tian coughed.

"Alright, then you think about it carefully."

"Rest assured, these shares will still be yours in the future."

"Mm..."

After ending the call, Su Qiaoer frowned deeply. After thinking for a while, she dialed Father Su's number. This matter was too big; currently, she couldn't make the decision herself and could only ask for her father's advice.

Soon, the call connected. Su Qiaoer relayed the content of Zheng Tian's call. Hearing his daughter's words, Father Su frowned.

"So, the Zheng Family's intention is to have you sell the Su Chemical shares to them at a low price? Is that right?"

Hearing this, Su Qiaoer nodded.

"Yes, Dad."

"20 billion for 20% of the shares. Su Group owns 51% of Su Chemical, and according to the market price... it is definitely worth more than that figure."

Father Su nodded; he still knew a thing or two about his own family's businesses.

"And they also said that if I could sell more shares... that would be even better. Dad, I am a bit hesitant."

"The Zheng Family's meaning is that these shares would be registered under Father Zheng's name, so that even if you leave the company in the future, you would still have shares in Su Chemical, right?"

"Yes..."

Father Su frowned.

"Daughter, is there really no possibility between you and Zheng Jie anymore? I think Zheng Jie is your best choice right now."

Hearing this, Su Qiaoer sighed.

"Dad, there is no possibility between him and me anymore... That side... hates me to the bone."

In fact, by now, everyone in the company knew that Su Group was beyond saving. Otherwise, why would so many shareholders have already started selling their shares?

"Fine, if that's the case, then you should live well with Zheng Tian. If so, I think you can agree."

"After all, you and Zheng Tian are husband and wife now. And looking at it now, the Zheng Family definitely cares most about Zheng Tian. Giving these shares to Father Zheng means they will be yours and his in the future."

After hesitating for a moment, Father Su agreed to the matter.

"Then... Dad, I'll just agree like this?"

"Mm, let me ask you, if you do your best to operate right now, what is the maximum amount of shares you can secure?"

To put it bluntly, Su Qiaoer was currently love-struck and completely trusted Zheng Tian. Little did she know, that was exactly what they were after. Once the shares fell into the hands of the Zheng Family, they would have nothing to do with Su Qiaoer. By then, they would belong to Father Zheng and Zheng Tian, and have absolutely nothing to do with Su Qiaoer.

"If I do my best to operate right now, I can probably get about 25%. That is already the limit, Dad."

"Alright, then get all the shares you can. After dealing with this matter, in a while, you should resign from the position of Chairman of Su Group."

Father Su also understood clearly that since Su Group was finished, it was better to take this opportunity to cash out quickly.

"Resign... Do you mean you want me to give up on Su Group?"

"Give it up. The current situation... is no longer something you can control. There is one more thing: the 20 billion in funds the Zheng Family gives you is nominally for saving the company, but you must also arrange for a few trusted aides to transfer a portion of the money out."

As expected, the Su Family was now a case of every man for himself in the face of disaster.

"Okay, I understand."

Hanging up the phone, Su Qiaoer sighed.

How did things end up like this?
