The Malevolent Female Villain Turns Out to Be Me

Chapter 159

On the other side, let's talk about Xiao Wenyao's Monday. The entire company was still shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere.

Sitting in the chairman's office on the top floor of the group building, Xiao Wenyao was staring blankly at a string of phone numbers on his phone screen.

This number was obtained by Zhao Secretary from Sean's secretary today. Xiao Wenyao was hesitating about how to ask Sean for an advance payment on the project funds. After all, when facing a big shot like Sean, he still felt a bit timid.

Xiao Wenyao mentally rehearsed the lines to ask for money a few times, took a deep breath, and just as he was determined to dial the number, Zhao Secretary suddenly rushed in through the door.

Xiao Wenyao, already a bit nervous, was startled and almost threw his phone away. Seeing the breathless Zhao Secretary, he was furious.

"Can't you even knock on the door? What kind of chief secretary are you!"

Zhao Secretary wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, choosing to ignore Xiao Wenyao's rage, and hurriedly reported the news she had just learned.

"President Xiao, Sean's secretary just called to say that the shareholders have transferred Xiao's Company's shares to Sean. Now Sean has 90 percent of Xiao's Company's shares. The secretary said Sean will be coming to inspect us soon."

Xiao Wenyao's hand trembled, and his phone dropped to the floor. He stood up abruptly, "You're saying Sean acquired the shares from those shareholders!"

Zhao Secretary nodded.

Xiao Wenyao couldn't believe it. Why would Sean acquire shares of his company? Could it be that he had taken a liking to Xiao's Company?

But that couldn't be, he knew his company's situation well. Everyone was frantically trying to cash out and exit, yet Sean was rushing to get involved. What was his intention?

At that moment, the phone suddenly rang. Xiao Wenyao came back to his senses, picked up the phone from the floor, and saw the caller ID - it was Director Zhao.

Xiao Wenyao steadied his mind and answered the call.

Director Zhao's voice came through the phone: "President Xiao, I'm sorry, we've transferred all our shares to Sean. From now on, Sean will be the largest shareholder of Xiao's Company. Sigh, I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse!"

His tone was full of mockery and schadenfreude.

"Director Zhao, what do you mean by that?" Xiao Wenyao had a bad feeling.

Director Zhao chuckled meaningfully, "Oh, nothing. Xiao's Company has finally climbed onto the big tree that is X International. With Sean in charge, Xiao's Company will definitely get better and better, and will become the number one business giant in Hai City again, just like it was over a decade ago."

These words made Xiao Wenyao's mood brighten again. That's right, no matter what Sean's intention was, he was now the majority shareholder. For his own interest, Sean would definitely bring Xiao's Company back to its peak.

The only dissatisfaction was that these shareholders transferred the shares without even telling him.

Originally, if it weren't for maintaining Xiao's Company's development, he would not have sold 90 percent of the shares to them, leaving himself with only 10 percent.

The shares in their hands were actually only around 10 percent each, so they could keep each other in check. Now Sean owned 90 percent, holding the biggest say. As the person in charge, he had completely become a subordinate.

Thinking about it, Xiao Wenyao felt a bit indignant.

Seeing that Xiao Wenyao wasn't speaking, Director Zhao continued: "Sigh, President Xiao, now that I think about it, I feel a bit regretful. Don't mind us transferring the shares, we're doing this for Xiao's Company's good. When it returns to the top in the future, we'll cooperate with Xiao's Company again!"

Xiao Wenyao felt something was off about these words, but the feeling passed quickly, instantly replaced by disdain.

He thought: Cooperate? You were so nonchalant when transferring the shares, and now that you see a bright future, you want to jump on the bandwagon again. What a beautiful dream!

Xiao Wenyao smiled wryly and said politely, "Of course, we'll have the opportunity to cooperate again!"

After hanging up, he spat heavily.

"Pah, old farts. When Xiao's Company returns to the top, don't even dream of climbing on board!"

Zhao Secretary was at a loss for words watching Xiao Wenyao's ever-changing expressions, and began to wonder if she should quit her job soon.

Seeing Zhao Secretary staring blankly, Xiao Wenyao felt awkward and cleared his throat lightly, "Hey Zhao, Sean will be coming soon, right? Hurry and notify everyone, we need to present our best to welcome Sean. The future prosperity of Xiao's Company will depend on Sean!"

"Ah? Oh! Yes, yes!" Zhao Secretary nodded dazedly and left.

Xiao Wenyao sat in his boss chair, fantasizing about his wonderful life reaching the pinnacle with Sean's help. When Zhao Secretary notified him that Sean had arrived downstairs, he hurriedly stood up and ran to the restroom.

After tidying up his suit, combing his slicked-back hair, and feeling that his appearance was perfect, he finally strode out with the steps of a successful man.

A business car stopped at the entrance of Xiao's Company's building. Assistant Wang got out from the passenger side and opened the rear door for the person inside.

Dressed in a black suit, Xiao Yongze came out of the car, then extended his hand towards the car. A slender, fair hand gently placed itself in Xiao Yongze's palm, and Song Jiaxi, wearing a black suit dress, stepped out of the car.

The couple stood at the entrance of Xiao's Company, gazing at the entire building with one accord.

Nineteen years have passed, they're back!

The hastily summoned reception staff, seeing the handsome uncle and beautiful lady before them, couldn't help but swallow their saliva. They finally met the richest man and his wife!

Zhao Secretary hurried down the steps and extended her hand in introduction: "Mr. S, hello, I'm the chief secretary of Xiao's Company. My surname is Zhao, you can call me Zhao."

Mr. S? What the heck!

Song Jiaxi couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle.

Zhao Secretary was embarrassed to the core. She didn't know Sean's Chinese name, but she couldn't directly call him Sean, right? That would be so rude. After much thought, she ended up just calling him "Mr. S"...

Xiao Yongze laughed lightly and shook hands with Zhao Secretary, saying, "My surname is Xiao."

Zhao Secretary nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, President Xiao."

Huh? Xiao? Is it this "Xiao" or that "Xiao"? Same surname as President Xiao?

However, he had no time to think further, and hurriedly stretched out his hand towards Song Jiaxi: "Hello, Mrs. Xiao."

Before Song Jiaxi could shake his hand, she was grabbed by Xiao Yongze.

"Alright, let's go in!"

Zhao Secretary was not embarrassed. Seeing Song Jiaxi's blissful expression, he felt that President Xiao was very fond of his wife, and was even a bit envious.

He promptly led them inside, making excuses for Xiao Wenyao: "President Xiao, Mrs. Xiao, our boss is currently handling some business matters, but he should be down shortly. Please don't mind."

Xiao Yongze curled his lips, seeming unconcerned: "No problem, it's normal for the boss to be busy."

Zhao Secretary breathed a sigh of relief and began giving the couple a tour starting from the first floor. However, he was extremely eager for Xiao Wenyao to come down soon, as he, a mere secretary, could hardly handle these two prominent figures!

Xiao Wenyao: Do you think I can handle them?
