Only after being reborn did I realize how fascinating the world of the rich is.

Soon, Li Xiaofeng sent meeting invitations to several major shareholders of Gage Media, and everyone sat down to have a good talk.

"Excuse me, I'm coming clean. The targeted share purchase you just announced, including the shares held by Boss Cao, has indeed come into my hands. I'm the one acquiring shares in your Kage Media!" Li Xiaofeng's smile was bright, and his expression was relaxed.

Luo Siqi gritted his teeth and said, "So you were the one pulling the strings behind the scenes. Confess honestly, were you the one spreading those negative rumors outside the company?"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and downplayed the issue, saying, "President Luo, please don't talk nonsense. I have nothing to do with those rumors. However, the rumors circulating outside are indeed true; our company has made too many acquisitions in the past."

Le Mengyao gave Le Xin'er a complicated look but didn't say anything.

Li Xiaofeng smiled slightly at Le Mengyao and said in a light tone, "Mengyao, you always say we're family. Now that we're finally family, shouldn't you congratulate me?"

"How many shares of our company did you buy?" Le Mengyao asked tentatively.

Li Xiaofeng said nonchalantly, "We've already acquired 20% of the company's shares. Although it's not as much as the combined shares of the three of you, it's more than any one of you individually."

Le Mengyao asked Li Xiaofeng in surprise, "Haven't you used all your money to speculate on houses?"

"Yes, I did use all my money to speculate on real estate, but I can apply for a loan from the bank. Don't forget, my collateral is real estate, so applying for a bank loan is relatively easy!"

Luo Siqi snorted coldly and said, "It must have been Liu Shasha who helped you apply for it. Banks are tightening lending now, so even if you use real estate as collateral, it won't be easy to get a loan!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "President Luo, you seem a little envious. My loan is neither illegal nor against regulations. If you need money, you can also take out a loan. Why do you have to do it secretly and harm the interests of the shareholders!"

"What do you mean by that!" Luo Siqi seemed to sense that something was wrong.

"What do you mean? Instead of using the money you obtained through targeted financing to properly expand your business, the three of you have misappropriated it. Isn't this seriously damaging to the interests of shareholders?"

Le Mengyao asked curiously, "How did you find out about this? Xin'er must have told you!"

"Hehe, finding out about such a large transfer and misappropriation of funds is too easy. Do I really need Xin'er to tell me? I can find out within five minutes if I just keep an eye on things!"

As Li Xiaofeng spoke, he gave Luo Siqi a meaningful look.

His goal was simple: to make Luo Siqi think about Liu Shasha, and then use Luo Siqi's words to clear Le Xin'er's name.

Liu Shasha is now a senior executive at a bank, so obtaining financial information from companies would be a piece of cake for her.

Luo Siqi is a very perceptive person and should be able to understand Li Xiaofeng's intentions.

Of course, if Luo Siqi is unable to understand for the time being, he will use other means to hint at it, and if that doesn't work, he can directly tell him, but the effect of direct hinting is definitely not as good as that of implied hinting.

Sure enough, Luo Siqi said through gritted teeth, "It must have been Liu Shasha who leaked the information to him in private. Her behavior is against the rules."

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said in a tone that seemed to be trying to cover up the truth, "Hey, President Luo, don't talk nonsense. You need evidence for these kinds of things. Don't talk nonsense without evidence!"

Hearing Luo Siqi's words, and seeing Li Xiaofeng's smug expression, Le Mengyao nodded in agreement. After all, Liu Shasha was a senior executive at the bank, so obtaining this kind of information would be too easy for her.

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "You don't need to get hung up on these details. I am the major shareholder of the company and have the right to audit all of the company's accounts."

Even if no one told me, I would have found out sooner or later. Having just become a shareholder of Gear Media, I'll definitely check the accounts!

Qin Wei, standing to the side, said in a deep voice, "President Li, this is a resolution passed by the board of directors. Although your shareholding ratio is very high, it is not enough to shake the board's resolution!"

Li Xiaofeng said nonchalantly, "Although I can't overturn the board's resolution, I can take legal action to freeze your funds. After all, what you're doing is suspected of embezzling public funds, and the amount is huge."

"Do you think you can win this lawsuit? We didn't embezzle the money; it's just a normal debt relationship between companies. We signed a debt agreement, and there's interest involved."

"That's not important. What's important is that if I keep pressing you, you won't be able to use this money, right?"

Luo Siqi clutched his head in anguish, muttering, "I should have realized long ago that your real purpose was to acquire Gage Media. If you really wanted to acquire Wanzhong Media, you wouldn't need so much money!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Wrong. Actually, my goal is to take back my Wanzhong Media, but you're unwilling, aren't you? You even deliberately used the funds from the media company to increase your stake in Wanzhong Media!"

Having no other choice, I had to settle for second best and reluctantly acquired Kage Media, which was essentially a way of getting my Wanzhong Media back!

"Li Xiaofeng, even if you win, you don't need to say such sarcastic things!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and shook his head: "I'm telling the truth. I'm not really interested in print advertising companies. Even if I take control of Kage Media, the company's business will have to shift towards LCD screens in the future!"

Qin Wei said calmly, "President Li, just tell me, what exactly do you want? What you're doing isn't good for any of us, so why bother?"

Li Xiaofeng didn't mince words and said directly, "If you want me to not pursue the use of these funds, you must sign a concerted action agreement with me."

It won't take too long, just like the loan term you agreed on, two years will suffice. Once you've repaid the loan, our agreement as concerted parties will be null and void!

Luo Siqi immediately objected: "That won't do. What do you mean by 'acting in concert'? Aren't you just thinking of taking this opportunity to inject capital and gain control of this company?"

"Then I can offer you another solution: a stock swap. Return my Wanzhong Media to me, and from now on, our two companies will keep to themselves!"

Luo Siqi objected again: "No way! We spent over six billion to buy this company, and you want to buy it back for only one billion? That's wishful thinking!"

At this moment, Li Xiaofeng's face also darkened, and he slammed his hand on the table.

"This won't do, that won't do, all the good things are yours? If it's not going to work out, then let's go our separate ways, it's a fight to the death, anyway, I'm not short of money!"
