Rebirth as the Richest Woman in the World
Chapter 160 Threat (Fourth Watch)

Chapter 160: 160 Threat (Fourth Watch)

In the past few days, she had received countless calls from Jun Ao, from self-claimed managers to vice presidents, and now even a special assistant had joined the fray.

Their sole purpose was one: to acquire the Chu Family business.

Chu Jin couldn’t figure it out; Jun Ao was such a massive corporation - why did they take an interest in the Chu Family? What kind of trickery was behind all this?

"Miss Chu, please don’t be hasty in rejecting us," Ai Na paused before continuing, "Our President Mo is willing to purchase the Chu Family at a high price and is willing to offer five times its actual value. Are you sure you don’t want to consider it?"

Five times the actual value of the Chu Family?

That was an astronomical figure.

Jun Ao was willing to pay such a significant amount to acquire the Chu Family - what could their ulterior motive be?

Chu Jin slightly narrowed her eyes and then said, "Miss Ai Na, I appreciate your company’s kind offer, but I must make it clear that the Chu Family is my father’s life’s work. Even if your company were to offer ten times the price, I would not sell it. Please stop calling me in the future."

Ai Na chuckled lightly, "Miss Chu, don’t speak too absolutely. As I understand it, you have just started your senior year of high school, and it is a crucial time for your studies. Even though the Shang family has already bought shares in your company, I believe the future does not look that bright for you. Oh, by the way,"

Ai Na paused again, then continued, "I heard that Miss Chu is currently preparing to bid for the JK collaboration, right?"

Chu Jin naturally sensed the implicit threat in Ai Na’s words. She pursed her lips and remained silent.

Ai Na pursed her lips into a smile, "I forgot to mention, Miss Chu, the head of JK is an old friend of our President Mo..."

Chu Jin raised her eyebrows slightly, "Miss Ai Na, are you threatening me?"

Ai Na picked up a glass of red wine from the office desk and swirled it lightly, "Not really a threat. You people from Hua Nation value civility before force, right? Since Miss Chu is not receptive, I have no choice but to employ this last resort."

"Furthermore," Ai Na continued, "the Chu Family is currently in a growth phase. If we at Jun Ao wanted to bankrupt the Chu Family, there are truly many ways to do so. Miss Chu, if you do not want to waste all your efforts, I suggest you think carefully about what I’ve said today while I still have enough patience."

It was true that Chu Family was in a period of development, and even when it was rising rapidly, with Mo Qianjue’s methods, making a company disappear was very simple.

If Chu Jin had any sense at all, she would understand the consequences of this matter.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Ai Na’s confident gaze shone with self-assurance.

As she waited for Chu Jin to compromise, a clear voice reached her ears.

"I hate being threatened the most. Miss Ai Na, since it has come to this, I believe there is no need for us to continue this conversation. Goodbye."

As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Jin hung up the phone, her clear peach blossom eyes flashing with complex emotions.

In her previous life, the Shen Group had collaborated with JK, and Jun Ao had not interfered with the matter.

In this life, would Jun Ao really join the bidding for JK just to acquire the Chu Family?

What exactly was Jun Ao up to, and why were they so set on acquiring the Chu Family?

What was the hidden agenda behind all this?

On the other side, Ai Na looked at the hung-up call with a slightly annoyed expression, the brightness in her eyes dimming bit by bit. She had thought that after talking to such extents, Chu Jin would surely compromise.

But she turned out to be unyielding.

They say that people from Hua Nation are cunning and crafty, with deep schemes; indeed, it seemed true.

It was really surprising how someone so elusive could have been portrayed as a useless person before!

’Knock, knock, knock’ – In the midst of Ai Na’s irritation, a series of knocks came from outside the door.

"Come in."

"Sister Ai Na," dressed in a white uniform, Ai Lin came in, "The Chief asked you to see him."

Seeing that it was Ai Lin, Ai Na let go of her facade, massaged her temples somewhat wearily, and said in a tired voice, "Understood. I’ll be right there."

Seeing Ai Na like this, Ai Lin asked with some concern, "What’s wrong, don’t you feel well?"

Ai Lin had worked with Ai Na for many years, both as Mo Qianjue’s competent special assistants, but this was the first time Ai Lin saw Ai Na with such an expression.

"It’s nothing." Ai Na smiled at Ai Lin, "By the way, did the Chief say what he needs me for?"

Ai Lin shook her head, "I don’t know, but the Chief doesn’t look too well. Be careful when you talk to him."

"Okay, I got it. I’ll head over now." After speaking, she put down the documents in her hand and walked out of the office.

At the top-floor office.

"Chief, you wanted to see me." Ai Na stood respectfully in front of Mo Qianjue’s desk.

Mo Qianjue tapped his fingers on the desk, his expression dark as he spoke, "Have you obtained the contract for the acquisition of Chu Family’s business?"

This afternoon he was supposed to meet with Zhao Yiling.

He had intended to surprise Zhao Yiling today by bringing the contract for Chu Family.

Unexpectedly, several days had passed without any movement on the matter; was it really that difficult to acquire an obscure small group!

Ai Na’s complexion changed, and she quickly bowed her head, "It is my incompetence. Please, Chief, punish me!"

She had never anticipated that acquiring Chu Family would be so thorny.

And she had never expected Chu Jin to be so difficult to deal with.

Everything had been beyond her expectations.

"Ai Na," Mo Qianjue lifted his gaze to look at her, the depth in his eyes unreadable, his beautiful lips parting slightly, "How many years have you been following me?"

Ai Na’s complexion changed, and she spoke with a hint of panic, "Thirteen years."

"Good," Mo Qianjue smiled, but his eyes lacked any warmth, "Thirteen years and you can’t even handle such a small matter. What use do I have for you? Is acquiring Chu Family that difficult? Haven’t I said that you can offer the condition they ask for, even if it costs 10 billion, you must take down Chu Family?"

"Ai Na, you have disappointed me greatly!"

Ai Na’s face drained of color, "Chief, I didn’t expect the Chu family’s daughter to be so tough! Please, Chief, punish me!"

"The Chu family’s daughter?" Mo Qianjue narrowed his eyes slightly, "Could it be she has extraordinary abilities that we don’t know of? Ai Na, don’t forget, you are one of my most capable special assistants. Are you telling me that you are less capable than a teenage girl?"

Ai Na kept her head down, saying nothing.

As a failure, she had no right to defend herself.

"Enough," Mo Qianjue furrowed his brows and waved his hand dismissively, "You don’t need to follow up on this matter. Return to Lawless City."

Return to Lawless City?

Ai Na’s mind went blank, but she had no choice but to follow Mo Qianjue’s order, "Yes, I understand!"

Having said that, she backed out of the office.

This time, she had truly disappointed Mo Qianjue.

"Ai Na sis, what happened? Why did you become so pale after just one visit to the Chief’s office?" Ai Lin asked nervously.

Ai Na forced a smile, and recounted what had happened to Ai Lin.

Ai Lin’s face showed disbelief, "You mean?... The Chu family’s daughter? The notorious good-for-nothing?"

The accomplished business elite Ai Na had been defeated by a legend known for her uselessness!

That was just too exaggerated!

Ai Na nodded with a bitter smile, "Even you find it hard to believe, right? That Chu family’s daughter is nothing like what our research indicated. To my knowledge, she also played a part in the Dick case that Song Shiqin was handling, and moreover, she was quite helpful to Song Shiqin."

The conversation with Chu Jin echoed in Ai Na’s ears, and she continued, "This Chu Jin, she’s definitely not as simple as we imagined."

Ai Lin’s expression also turned grim. Something was gradually surfacing in her mind. She swallowed hard, trying to steady her voice, "Are you saying that the Chu family’s eldest daughter... is not actually a wastrel... "

Ai Na glanced outside the window, "If she were a wastrel, then we would all be fools."

’Bang,’ the realization in Ai Lin’s head completely collapsed.

Still, she tried to calm herself down. After all, it was she who was tasked by the Chief with the search for the lifesaver.

It was she who told the Chief that the Chu family’s daughter was a fool.

It was she who assured with confidence that the Chu family’s daughter was incapable of saving the Chief.

Now, it seemed that the Chu family’s daughter was anything but what they had thought!

What should she do!?

If because of her misjudgment the Chief had misidentified his lifesaver, the consequences...

She couldn’t possibly bear them.

Ai Na was only being sent back to Lawless City for failing to complete her task.

Ai Lin suddenly looked up, "Ai Na sis, is the Chief meeting Miss Zhao this afternoon?"
