Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Trapped Badly

Zhang Zhongguo had never imagined that it was the Tianyu Group shares sold by Guan Lin and a few of the shareholders.

Especially Guan Lin, who was his childhood friend and once a close associate in business.

Otherwise, the latter would not have held as much as three and a half percent of the shares of the Tianyu Group.

That morning, he had made a special call, asking them not to sell their Tianyu Group shares, and they had agreed.

Who could have thought...

Zhang Zhongguo felt his blood boil as he thought about it all.

Quickly, he made his way through the crowd, picked up his phone, and started dialing Guan Lin's number.

"Hello, Brother Zhang…" Guan Lin picked up the call after a long time, sounding very timid on the other side.

"Ha, I can't accept that title, Brother. I just need to know who is targeting me." Zhang Zhongguo snorted and said coldly.

In his view, the opponent must have colluded with Guan Lin to target him.

They manipulated him into investing over twenty billion in buying shares, making him fall into a pit step by step. It was truly a grand scheme.

Guan Lin was silent for a moment before he said, "Brother Zhang, you might not know yet that something big has happened online. I'm sorry I let you down, but I really don't want to end up with nothing for my old age."

With that, Guan Lin hung up.

He turned around and started packing quickly. He was planning to leave the country.

It wasn't an overreaction, he simply couldn't risk it.

"Something big happened online? You mean the video from last night? I told you…" Zhang Zhongguo was still considering Guan Lin's words about the video clip featuring Tianyu Group and Lin Yun, but before he could finish, Guan Lin had already hung up.

Furious, Zhang Zhongguo threw his phone forcefully onto the ground.

He simply could not understand.

In his mind, that video just proved that the Tianyu Group was a bit reckless. It could not harm the foundation of the Tianyu Group. Did Guan Lin need to overreact that much?.

He even suspected that it was an excuse Guan Lin made to fob him off.

"Chairman, something big has happened online!"

Just then, another man barged into the conference room, his face was terrified.

"What big happened online?" Zhang Zhongguo whipped around, glaring at the newcomer, and snapped,

It was just recently that Guan Lin had said the same to him and had hung up before he could finish his sentence. Zhang Zhongguo was still seething with anger and now, this man triggered it again.

"The...the...there are rumors online that our group has...has a...a scandal involving sending gifts to officials…" Seeing Zhang Zhongguo's anger, the man stuttered fearfully.

"What?" Zhang Zhongguo's pupils constricted.

Was it not about the video from last night?

Click, click, click!

One of the directors swiftly typed on the computer in front of him, searching for news about their Tianyu Group.

Approximately ten seconds later, the director looked up at Zhang Zhongguo and said grimly, "Chairman, it seems like our Tianyu Group is indeed in big trouble…"

"Let me see…" Zhang Zhongguo's face was ashen as he quickly strode over and commanded in a solemn tone.

…

The internet had indeed exploded.

It was only yesterday when Tianyu Group's arrogant video had blown up.

And today, phenomenal news had come to light.

"Who could have thought, this is how Tianyu Group developed…"

"Heh, they have given many officials gifts…"

"And not a small amount of money…"

"I think I saw our neighbor's name in the list. He seemed so upright usually, who would've known he accepted so many gifts. And these are just from the Tianyu Group…"

"If the person upstairs has such a neighbor, the financial situation of the person upstairs is probably not simple…"

"66666… Tianyu Group… Brother, I just admire you…"

"You all may not know, today, Tianyu Group's stocks exploded. The transaction volume in just one morning exceeded twenty-five billion. It seems that the explosion happened around the time these news were released. There is something fishy…"

"The person above is right, there is not just something fishy, there are big fishy things. If the information was not true, how could so many people sell their stocks? It seems that the announcement stated many sellers were old shareholders of Tianyu Group…"

"I understand the behavior of those who sold the stocks, but I wonder who the fool is that stepped into such mess…"

"What the hell is Tianyu Group? Many people are talking about this group today, I'll check it out…"

Innumerable active netizens made comments. Within just ten or so minutes, aggregated comments from all major portal websites exceeded hundreds of thousands.

This was only because of the video from yesterday, otherwise, even if the news was posted on the homepage of all major portal websites, the impact would not be this powerful in such a short duration.

The video from yesterday made everyone more alert about the Tianyu Group. Spotting the news about Tianyu Group, people got curious and clicked on the links.

And thus, it trended explosively in an astonishingly short time.

…

"Phew——"

Looking at the news on the front page of major portals and countless comments below, Zhang Zhongguo's face turned from white to green and then from green to white. He soon could not hold on any longer and spit a mouthful of fresh blood.

He was the chairman of Tianyu Group, has been always, and he was the one who developed the Tianyu Group.

How could he not be aware that all the content written in the news was true?

He seemed to understand why Guan Lin and other shareholders sold their shares so quickly.

Eight or nine out of ten must have seen the news.

But why the hell didn't those people tell him when they saw the news?

Did they all just see him as a cash cow? only-found-at-NovelFire

"Who on earth is targeting Tianyu Group!!!" Zhang Zhongguo swept away everything on the table in one fell swoop and roared in anger.

"How can it be like this..."

Behind Zhang Zhongguo, many directors also looked pale and murmured.

This time, they had really fallen into a hole.

This morning, Zhang Zhongguo bought a ton of shares. Many of them were of their own money.

They did not only fail to handle their own shares, but also bought a large batch in addition to their existing shares. Moreover, when the money wasn't enough, they even financed the purchase. What a joke!

They were the fools that were being discussed online.

Since the development of the internet, its power has been growing, especially when a hot topic is hyped up.

They had a feeling that the aftermath of this was going to be the death or at least a severe handicap of the Tianyu Group.

The value of their Tianyu Group shares was likely to plummet.

This time, they were really screwed over.

The act of purchasing a large amount of shares today was all because Zhang Zhongguo advocated for it. They had thoughts of blaming Zhang Zhongguo, but seeing him in such a pathetic state, they could not bring themselves to do it.

Most importantly, the Tianyu Group had not fallen yet.

They still needed Zhang Zhongguo to find a way to solve this issue. They were in the same boat now and it was not the time for a falling out.
