Chapter 9 Seizing Control

Before the break of dawn, Luo Ningshuang rose early in anticipation of a crucial company meeting scheduled for that day. The meeting would center around the potential acquisition of Xiongfeng Group, a highly coveted opportunity! Ever since the previous night, Xiongfeng Group had found itself in dire straits, attracting the attention of all businesses in Ninghai City. Luo Ningshuang was determined not to let this chance slip by to both vent her frustrations and reap profits! She realized that by successfully acquiring Xiongfeng Group, she could prompt Zuo Tianyang to relax his hold, potentially reviving the struggling company! Snagging a major corporation at a bargain price was no longer just a lucrative opportunity, but akin to striking gold! The plague and the mad sand had departed the night before, accompanying Zuo Tianyang on a different mission this time - to investigate the sister of their deceased brother! During breakfast, the family gathered around the table, exuding a sense of vigor, particularly Luo Feng, who appeared more animated than ever! "Tianyang, what are your plans now?" inquired Luo Feng. As Zuo Tianyang served porridge to the others, he responded, "I intend to work at Sunshine Group. Ningshuang mentioned offering me a managerial role!" He chuckled! "Haha, then let Ningshuang handle the arrangements!" agreed Luo Feng. "Thank you, Father-in-law!" expressed Zuo Tianyang gratefully, eliciting joy from the entire Luo family. "The group's film and television department is on the verge of closure due to various reasons. Would you be interested in giving it a shot? If you can turn things around, I have additional rewards in store for you!" hinted Luo Ningshuang at Zuo Tianyang. "Sure, I'll take on the film and television department. Making movies? No problem!" eagerly accepted Zuo Tianyang. Following breakfast, Luo Feng and Qi Yan departed the villa, while Zuo Tianyang accompanied Luo Ningshuang to Xiangyang Group. Upon their arrival, Luo Ningshuang promptly convened an emergency meeting in her office. Meanwhile, Zuo Tianyang relaxed in the president's office, savoring tea and the scenic view, feeling content. The meeting stretched from nine in the morning until eleven. Upon Luo Ningshuang's return to the office, a look of concern clouded her delicate features. Observing her expression, Zuo Tianyang inquired, "Darling, what's troubling you? Did the meeting not go as planned?" Luo Ningshuang shook her head, approached Zuo Tianyang, took a sip of tea, and met his gaze, "Tianyang, are you familiar with Decaf Investment Group?" After a moment of contemplation, Zuo Tianyang responded, "Decaf Group? The prominent entity from Dubai?" Luo Ningshuang affirmed, "Today, I received news that a branch of Decaf Investment Group was established overnight in Ninghai City!" "Overnight? That's quite remarkable!" "Yes, primarily due to their astonishing actions!" Zuo Tianyang, noticing Luo Ningshuang's furrowed brow, interjected, "Investing in Xiongfeng Group?" "Exactly!" "Is Dekefu Group acting out of goodwill? Do they share a close relationship with Xiongfeng Group?" Zuo Tianyang pondered aloud. Luo Ningshuang shook her head, "I can't say for certain, but one thing is clear - regardless of Dekefu Group's intentions, their actions will undoubtedly benefit Xiongfeng Group. This development bodes well for Xiongfeng Group. Considering its original strength and future prospects, the stock price should stabilize!" Zuo Tianyang smirked, "Not necessarily, but it does seem like Dekefu Group might be working against us!" "Against us?" puzzled Luo Ningshuang. Yesterday, Zuo Tianyang nodded in agreement, "The intention is quite clear. If Dekefu Group aims to take advantage of Xiongfeng Group's low stock price like other groups, they would typically engage in a power struggle for control. However, they have chosen a different approach by making direct investments. The significant cost of this move is evident. Therefore, it can be deduced that Dekefu Group is not foolish; they have a specific target in mind." Luo Ningshuang continued, "The incident from yesterday has caused quite a stir and has already circulated widely in the business world. While we are trying to contain the situation, Dekefu is going all out to assist. It is highly likely that they have set their sights on Xiangyang Group." Zuo Tianyang nodded in agreement, "Things seem to be progressing well. With the positive news, Xiongfeng Group's stock price has stabilized today. The Mo family has already reaped the benefits and will undoubtedly align themselves with Dekefu Group." "So, what is our next move?" Luo Ningshuang asked, feeling a bit uneasy but trusting Zuo Tianyang to have a plan. Zuo Tianyang put his arm around Luo Ningshuang and reassured her, "Don't worry, my dear. The downfall of Xiongfeng Group is inevitable. Dekefu Group will have to pay a steep price to rescue them. Currently, Xiongfeng Group is in a precarious situation. If Dekefu Investment Group is determined to intervene, they will also be dragged down." Luo Ningshuang still had reservations, "But Dekefu Investment Group is a formidable force. It won't be easy to challenge them." Zuo Tianyang grinned, "Relying solely on Xiangyang Group won't be enough to confront them. However, let's not forget about my sister. If they attempt to save Xiongfeng Group, my sister's fiery temperament will surely cause them significant losses." Upon hearing Zuo Tianyang's words, Luo Ningshuang couldn't help but laugh, "You! If my sister hears you say that, I wonder how you'll handle it!" Zuo Tianyang chuckled nervously, recalling Zuo Feifei's strict demeanor towards him. "My dear, there's no need to rush. Let's continue with our usual routine and wait for updates. Even if Dekefu Investment Group manages to rescue Xiongfeng Group, the dynamics will undoubtedly change. They will likely capitalize on the situation to take control of Xiongfeng Group. In that case..." "In that case, the Mo family will not go down without a fight. Should we just sit back and watch the drama unfold?" "You truly are perceptive, my dear, understanding everything so quickly!"
