Moreover, Shi Group was about to be acquired by Glory World. In a short while, he would become the newest multimillionaire of M City.
Qu Li? Who the hell was she?!
When the time came, dozens of women would come his way.
Shi Yong instantly felt like a pauper who struck gold. He didn't run anymore but sat on the sofa arrogantly and glared at Qu Li.
"Can't you see that you don't even act like a woman? You can't cook nor clean the house. Xing Er... well, she's better than you! All you know is to ask for money! If it isn't for Xiao Xiao I would've left a long time ago!"
Seeing the man who was usually obedient to her turning hostile in an instant, Qu Li felt as if the world crashed. She couldn't accept it and collapsed on the floor, dropping the knife in an instant.
Shi Yong sneered and looked at Qu Li arrogantly."We'll divorce tomorrow! Anyway, Xiao Xiao is grown woman now and that idiot has left. I don't need a mad woman like you, acting as your slave all day long. Who the heck are you? When I sell my company, I can have everything I want!"
A smug smile appeared on Shi Yong's lips. Then, he glanced at Qu Li with disgust, as if he was looking at a disgusting piece of trash.
Qu Li fell to the ground in a daze. It took her a long time to react.
"No, hubby, I was just joking with you. We have been together for so many years, you can't treat me like this..." Qu Li suddenly kneeled beside Shi Yong's leg and pleaded with tears streaming down her face.
She had been used to being a rich lady at home for so many years. She couldn't do anything for god's sake. How could she live without Shi Yong?
She was already old enough now, and it was impossible for her to find a man as rich as Shi Yong anymore!
Qu Li seemed to have suddenly fallen from the clouds into the mud. She realized that if she left the Shi family, there was no way for her to survive.
She could not divorce Shi Yong. She did not want to live a poor life. She could not give up her position to those shameless mistresses!
"Go away!" Shi Yong looked at Qu Li with extreme disgust."Leave me alone!"
Just as Shi Yong was about to push Qu Li away mercilessly, his phone rang.
Shi Yong did not want to pick up the phone. After all, he had family matters to attend to and was in a troubled state of mind. However, he could not stand the incessant ringing of the phone, so he answered it.
"Hello!"
"Mr. Shi... can you come to the company now?" The secretary's voice was cautious and even a little shaky.
"I don't have time!" Shi Yong was a little impatient."Why do I even employ you? Don't you know how to solve problems? Don't call me for everything, you trash!"
"See, it's about Glory World..." the secretary's voice shivered."They are calling off the acquisition..."
"... What? What are you talking about?" Shi Yong didn't understand what the secretary meant at first, and it took him a while to understand. He was confused, and even a little incredulous.
"It's true! News came today, saying that our company didn't meet the requirements for their merger, and they called it off. I also called the project team. At first, they explained that it was a decision from the higher-ups, but later on, I couldn't get through their phones."
"Fu Hua also came to urge us. They said that they were in a hurry to get the goods and wanted us to deliver the first batch. But our factory simply did not have enough stock! The workers heard rumors saying that our company is going bankrupt and stopped working. They are all demanding wages..."
Every time the secretary said something, Shi Yong's face turned pale. In the end, his entire face was almost drained of blood.
His hands trembled violently, and he could barely hold his phone. Shi Yong felt as if all the strength in his body had been drained, and he felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss.
Seeing Shi Yong's twisted face, Qu Li had a bad feeling. She quickly got up and pulled Shi Yong, "Honey, what happened?"
Shi Yong was like a drowning person grabbing onto a straw. He held Qu Li tightly and said in a trembling voice, "The company, the company is gone..."
Even if he did not know anything about the company, he could still understand the meaning behind the secretary's words.
Glory World did not want Shi Corporation anymore. The workers were on strike, and the factory could not deliver the goods. If the contract signed was breached, they were liable for a hefty sum of penalty.
The company was already riddled with issues. After this ordeal, bankruptcy was an inevitable fate.
"How could the company be gone?" Qu Li was so shocked that her face turned pale."How could a perfectly fine company be gone? What did you do?"
What did he do?
Shi Yong was in a daze, as if he was in a nightmare.
He was blinded by the news that Glory World wanted to acquire the company. He had put all of his assets on the line. In the end, not only did he end up with nothing, he also had to face a huge amount of debt!
