Chapter 11: Barking Dog Doesn't Bite
"I'll deal with them first. How's the investigation going regarding the evidence that my older sister abused her power for personal gain and harmed the company's interests?"
"Have Miss Shan (the newly arrived head of the purchasing department) submit evidence directly to the board of directors, call the police in the company's name, and sue her in court."
Rose nodded, and said worriedly, "Aren't you afraid they'll do something desperate? After all, your older sisters are all powerful figures in the company."
"You were really good to them back then. In terms of education, background, and work ability, they didn't even deserve to be ordinary employees. You made them department heads directly."
Jerry sighed awkwardly, "Stop scolding me. I was so stupid before."
"Don't worry, they won't resort to desperate measures. In their eyes, the JM Group belongs to them."
"They only dare to use petty tricks to threaten me; they don't dare to shake the foundation of the group."
"Yes, but the group's shares have plummeted, which has had a significant impact." Rose's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"You control 51% of the shares, your family members control 30%, and the rest are small shareholders."
"However, although those minority shareholders hold a small percentage of shares, some of them are well-known companies in Kingsland and are important partners of ours."
Jerry Smiled and said "You release the news that I'm going to cash out 30% of the shares.
"This will lower our stock price, trick those minority shareholders into selling their shares, and then we'll buy them back."
Rose looked deeply at Jerry, her beautiful eyes glistening with tears, and remained silent for a long time.
Jerry laughed and said, "What? Are you amazed by my intelligence?"
"This feeling is so good." Rose wiped away her tears.
"You from back then have come back."
"Now everyone looks down on you, thinking you're just a puppet controlled by the Miller Family."
"They've all forgotten how you built the JM Group from nothing."
Jerry smiled and said, "Thank you for your help. It's almost noon. Let's invite Miss Shan out for lunch."
Rose understood Jerry's meaning and nodded. Jerry made a phone call and asked Tim to send someone to keep an eye on his car.
If someone gets hit, we can catch the culprit in time. Then they went to a restaurant. As luck would have it, he ran into Lele.
She was pleading with a middle-aged man: "President Malik, please don't cancel the cooperation with the Sen Group. We have already improved the production process and changed the molds, and we plan to launch new products."
The middle-aged man, known as President Malik, sneered: "Lele, we only cooperated with you before because of the JM Group. Now, President Miller has declared that anyone who cooperates with Sen's Group is going against him."
"If I continue to cooperate with you, wouldn't that be like provoking a tyrant?"
"Please, please don't hurt me."
Lele gritted her teeth: "What's so scary about the JM Group? It's just that they're a bit rich. President Malik, your company is worth over 100 million, so there's no need to be afraid of them."
"Hehe... It's because President Miller was too good to you before that you forgot how terrifying the JM Group, with a market value of tens of billions, is." President Malik waved his hand.
"A single move by the JM Group can affect the employment of thousands of people. Even the mayor has to give President Miller a face."
"One phone call from President Miller could bankrupt my company."
Lele gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind: "President Malik, actually Jerry and I just had a little argument as a couple, it's just that he's a bit impulsive."
"Have you forgotten how good he was to me before? I'm sure he'll be wagging his tail and coming to apologize to me in a few days."
"Your cooperation with me now is like sending charcoal in snowy weather. I will have Jerry invest tens of millions in you."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Malik clearly hesitated.
At this moment, Rose stepped forward and said coldly, "Lele, you really have a big face. Yesterday you verbally abused Jerry and said he was worthless. Now you still have the nerve to use his name to attract investment."
Lele and President Malik were startled by what they heard, and then they noticed Jerry and Rose watching coldly from the side.
Jerry looked at Lele with disdain and sarcasm.
When Lele saw Jerry, her eyes lit up instantly, and she said imperiously, "Jerry, I've already said that no matter what you do, I will never forgive you."
"I didn't expect you to be so shameless as to follow me here."
She had previously thought that Jerry had really turned against her, but after encountering Jerry here, she naturally assumed that Jerry was following her and begging for her forgiveness.
Upon thinking of this, her chest immediately straightened. Upon hearing this, Jerry let out a cold laugh.
This woman is so shameless.
I'm still immersed in her world, thinking I should unconditionally please her. A glint of light flashed in Mr. Malik's eyes.
Is Jerry about to start fawning over Lele again?
"See that?" Lele said smugly.
"Jerry doesn't dare to go against me at all. Now he's even started following me and begging for my forgiveness."
"If you don't cooperate with me now, I won't cooperate with you even if you beg me in the future."
Mr. Malik's expression changed, and he hurriedly said, "It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. I was blind."
Lele snorted coldly and returned to her previous arrogant demeanor. Jerry sneered: "Lele, could you be any more shameless?"
"I went out for a meal, but it turned into me stalking you."
"Oh, still trying to save face." Lele glanced at Jerry.
"Fine, I'll give you some face in front of outsiders."
Rose frowned slightly and said speechlessly, "I think she has some serious illness."
"You can choose to cooperate with her." Jerry looked at the bewildered President Malik and said with a faint smile, "But I can guarantee that your company will go bankrupt within a month."
After saying that, he left.
Mr. Malik trembled with fear and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Mr. Miller, I would never cooperate with her."
Lele's pretty face turned red with anger. She stomped her foot and shouted, "Jerry, you stop right there!"
But Jerry had already gotten on the elevator.
Mr. Malik roared, "You shameless woman, how dare you harm me?"
"Without President Miller's protection, you're nothing more than a caged canary. You actually think you're someone important?"
"He's followed me all the way here, just to apologize and beg for my forgiveness. How can you not see that?" Lele looked at President Malik with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot.
"Keep dreaming," Mr. Malik sneered and strode away.
Lele stomped her foot angrily: "You'll regret this! As long as I forgive him, I can immediately become the mistress of the JM Group!"
Seeing Jerry and President Malik leave one after another, she gritted her teeth and said, "It seems that revenge is not enough. You just wait, Jacob and I will make you cry and beg us."
Meanwhile, inside the private room, Rose blinked and smiled faintly, saying, "You don't seem angry at all. You're too calm."
"Getting angry is the act of a coward." Jerry smiled and said, "As the saying goes, a barking dog doesn't bite, so there's no point in arguing with her."
"The only thing I should do is to take swift and decisive revenge, to ensure her utter ruin."
Rose nodded with satisfaction, but seeing Jerry's gloomy face, she teased, "A dog that bites doesn't bark, aren't you just insulting yourself?"
Jerry's face darkened: "It was just a metaphor."
Soon, Miss Shan arrived at the private room. She was about the same age as Jerry, in her early twenties. She wore a light yellow traditional-style shirt and a light green long skirt, which accentuated her slender waist and pretty face, making her look exceptionally elegant.
Although her looks and figure are not as good as Rose's, she is still called a goddess by many employees.
However, her expression was somewhat cold, and her voice was flat: "President Miller, is there something you need me for?"
Jerry sighed softly, knowing that she was still bothered by him, and smiled, saying, "Can't I treat you to a meal if there's nothing wrong? Please sit down."
I wouldn't dare sit here." Miss Shan shook her head and sneered, "President Miller, just say what you have to say."
"If it weren't for Miss Paper, I wouldn't have gone back to JM Group." Rose grabbed her hand: "Alright, don't be angry with him. He's changed now."
"Let's work together to bring down the Miller Family and restore JM Group to its former glory, okay?"
"I don't believe it." Miss Shan said irritably, "I'm afraid he's just acting on a whim. If he backs down, won't all of us who fought for him become a laughing stock?"
Rose looked at Jerry helplessly.
Jerry remained calm and smiled faintly, saying, "I will give you a condition that you cannot refuse."
