Falling Dreams, Rising Hopes: Saving Mr. Boyfriend

"You… you are the mystery buyer?" Yu Rong, no, everyone present could not believe it. What kind of interest did Minister Jiang of Education Ministry had in Yu Empire? Where did he get so much money from? Why did Yu Ming's share go to him? All these questions were swirling in everyone's mind.

Yu Rong was so shocked that her steps staggered. Over! It was over!!

He went up on the stage among the claps that someone in the audience had initiated. This was very amusing turn of events for everyone. A politician owning the whole of Yu empire?

Yu Rong was already on the stage for she had believed she had this in her hands. Jiang Nuo whispered in her ears, "This is just the beginning Ms. Yu, please do not let your jaw fall to the round so soon." And then he chuckled. This was what he was living for. He would slowly take everything from Yu family and leave them in ruins. Then they would know what it feels like losing their most precious thing in life.

They dare kill his son; they would need to pay in blood.

"How did you get brother's shares?" she asked him daringly. Who in the world would believe it was not deception? He must have threatened brother with something.

"Oh, don't you worry. He gave them to me willingly. Why did you think I had stopped procuring more shares since a week ago?" he laughed triumphantly again. The crowd was seeing their interaction with interest. Yu Rong was unable to hide her fury while she had to control her speech for she was talking to her future boss. What an irony!

"Where is Qing Qing? Why is she not here yet?" Su Lang was concerned that this turn of events would break her heart. They had already heard about her dad treating her like shit suddenly. Now they knew, he was after revenge since the beginning.

His presence at this meeting was suspicious enough, but this was way out of normal.

"I have no clue, I cannot even reach her," Yu Tian spoke stoically, but he still believed in his girl. There was still time. She would perform a miracle as she had been doing. He kept his eyes peeled on that monitor that was showing live counts of the shares.

"Would you like to say something Minister Jiang?" the Financial Director handed over another mike to the giddy man who was relishing in the glory. There were only four minutes left, what could happen now? Jiang Nuo was the winner here. He felt like he had won the presidential election.

The President of M nation was sitting right in front of him as well who was frowning. If such a big power tipped into this guy's favor, then his own position would be threatened. Mr. President started counting all the times he had treated Jiang Nuo badly. There were plenty of instances and he was feeling very regretful right now.

A lot of people at the back were in the same quandary. They had really disrespected this guy who would not do anything for money, and especially when he had begged them all when his son had died at that school. If only they had provided him words of comfort at least, rather than outright dismissing him, perhaps they would have been in better position today.

He began to address the audience.

"Yeah, hello everyone. I know you all must be wondering where I suddenly popped up from," he giggled happily. He himself was overwhelmed with emotions. Although his revenge was not complete yet, this was a major victory and time when he would actually start to uproot those bastards one by one.

"It's moving again!" someone shouted from the back, interrupting Jiang Nuo who was still reveling in his victory. He gave a look full of disdain to the guy who shouted. Everyone's eyes moved to the screen behind the minister. There were only two minutes left and the bars were moving faster and faster.

Another player had come into the game. Yu Tian's name had disappeared from the screen and this third person was gaining the shares much too fast.

"What is happening? I thought you had your shares," Feng Yue whispered to Yu Tian who was helplessly looking at the screen. Who was this third person now?

Yu Tian shook his head, "Qing Qing started it, so I decided to give them all to her."

"Are you f*cking kidding me? Despite her proving that she is Li Sibao and now an integral part of our circle, what were you thinking of handing over everything to an outsider, that too an inexperienced little girl like her?" Feng Yue yelled at his friend but kept his voice low so that other people would not hear it.

"I trust her," Yu Tian declared, but he was mostly consoling himself. She would not take such a big step without telling him. Did she sell his part abruptly and made some shady deal with someone or had she planned this from the start? If she had planned this from the start, why did she not tell him that?

"You and your trust can go to hell. I agree with Yue here. No matter what, she is still Jiang Nuo's daughter," Fan Ruyi chimed in, but her thoughts were in completely different direction.

The two guys glared at her, asking her to shut up. She felt wronged, she was just agreeing with what Feng Yue had said. Why was he also blaming her?

"Oh?? Who could be this person? The identity is unknown as well!" The Financial Director was a dramatic guy too. He was creating more suspense.

Yu Rong and Jiang Nuo both started dialing their phones to different people to see what was going on. But it was too late.

The wheels of fate were already in motion. This could not be stopped no matter what. Someone had managed to get their hands on those 18% share from Yu Tian. Who else could it be other than Mei Qingyang?

They both just wanted to know her sponsor. To have completely eradicated the name of the heir of Yu empire, this must be some well established person. The people down were finally smiling. Someone else was slowly over. That meant, they did not need to fear Jiang Nuo, did they? But then, he might still be in the lead by the end.

The third person's bar shot up to a whopping 34%, confirming that this second mysterious person had already won.

"Could we have the glorious person on the stage please?" Mr. Financial Director called once again. The crowd again looked at each other in confusion. Who could be this big to buy this much of shares in such less time? No one came forward though.

"Excuse me mystery buyer no. 2, could you please step forward?" the Financial Director wiped his sweat. What was this arrogance? Not only did this guy win abruptly, but they were also late to the meeting? What insolence!

------------

"It is already time, why is he not here yet?" she muttered to herself. She was waiting to see shocked expressions from everyone, including Yu Tian. She had finally done something with her own abilities, without depending on her friends. She was so ecstatic, this surprise would be the best gift for him.

A black car pulled over just then. The door opened and the driver brought out a wheelchair.

"Butler uncle, let me," she took the wheelchair from the driver and helped the man inside the car on it. Then she bowed in respect.

"We finally meet again Ms. Mei. I was so surprised to get your message. I did what all I could. But you did great in getting them to hand over their shares to you. The victory today, is yours and yours alone," the man smiled towards this ambitious little girl.

"I did not judge you wrong. I knew you had a penchant for business," the man in his 40s applauded the girl for her guts and intelligence. If she had not contacted his that day, he would not have even taken interest in this whole thing. But not only did she manage to convince him, she actively took part in convincing the other shareholders to give up their shares.

"Then, shall we go?" she asked the man, who nodded. She started pushing the wheelchair to take the man of honor to the meeting.

------------

"Are they still not here yet?" people started becoming impatient. The markets were closed, the winner had been announced. Where was this person? Or was it fake? Jiang Nuo and Yu Rong were standing on the stage awkwardly, yelling at whoever on their phones. Both their schemes fell apart in just five minutes.

"Could you please step up sir or madam, who ever you are?" the Financial Director called out again. At this moment, the gate to the hall opened and a meek figure on wheelchair entered with the girl at his back. Everyone turned around to look who the person could be.

"Is… isn't that Bai Yuchen?" someone exclaimed, recognizing the man in the wheelchair.
