Revenge of the Housewife - Chapter 31

After the meeting ended, Duan Qinghong remained in the conference room until late at night.

I stayed with him.

Outside the window was the night view of Hu City, overlooking from a height, the traffic shimmered like a galaxy.

The conference room was eerily silent, his head drooped, eyelashes lowered, his voice hoarse:

“Is this why you only wanted equity and not an equal share of cash during the negotiations?”

“Yes, but not entirely.”

During the second negotiation, his lawyer, following Duan Qinghong’s idea, attempted to cash out equity to push me out, but it didn’t go as planned.

However, to lower his guard, I didn’t press too hard, which allowed him to comfortably leave me with a share that seemed incapable of blocking major decisions.

“You seem to forget that before becoming a housewife, I was also a businesswoman.

Rather than worrying about whether the court’s final valuation of the equity is high or low, it’s better to hold the initiative in my own hands.

In other words, compared to cash, I am optimistic about the company’s prospects.”

“Secretary Shen, who is he to you?” He turned his head, his eyes filled with inquiry.

“A student my mother sponsored twenty years ago.”

Duan Qinghong’s face suddenly turned cold: “So sponsoring students was never about kindness but part of an investment?”

Due to emotional fluctuations, Duan Qinghong was already thinking in extremes.

I was silent for a few seconds, then smiled faintly:

“No, no, no, you’re thinking too extremely. Kindness probably accounts for three parts, the other seven parts are investing in the person, but investment comes with gains and losses.

There are successful projects like Secretary Shen, and there are failed ones like Zhang Zhaodi, wouldn’t you agree?”
