Sir, Please Mellow Down A Bit

Chapter 558

Chapter 558 It Was Chaotic

“He is an old friend of mine,” Rae said hesitantly. No matter what she said, Jackie Zeng seemed to be

completely cooperative. Lyra could not ask directly, so she used her eyes to ask Hank. However, he

was talking to Jasper and did not notice, so only Lyra was listening to Jackie. Until he personally

promised, “I am willing to take out my personal assets and invest them into the Barnwell Group.

Moreover, I do not need any shares.” So simple? Lyra opened her mouth and kicked Hank under the

table. When Hank received the signal, he immediately smiled and said, “The company is currently…”

He explained, but Jackie still insisted, “Mr. Barnwell, we should have cooperated a long time ago. The

reason why it has been delayed for so long is that I did not make up my mind. This time, we must go all

out.” As soon as his voice fell, even Jasper could not sit still. “Mr. Zeng, you should have heard some

news about the Barnwell Group, right? Do you not mind at all?” It was not that he was jealous that the

Barnwell Group had such a business partner who had taken the initiative to come to it, but he was

worried that there would be a change after the event, or perhaps, Jackie had simply been bought over

by Huaien. “I believe in Mr. Barnwell’s character. Moreover, when it comes to investing, you must

always listen to what others say. How can you make money if you follow others forever?” Jackie raised

his eyes and smiled. Jasper was convinced. At the same time, Hank also nodded lightly, “If Mr. Zeng

has this intention, we can arrange a time to go to the company and talk slowly.” “No need, I have

already…” Jackie wanted to say something. But before he could finish, he was

glared at by Rae. “Alright, let’s make an appointment and have a good talk later.” Lyra sat at the side

and listened. She felt that there was something wrong with this person. When she and Rae went to the

bathroom, she grabbed Rae and asked, “What is your relationship with that Mr. Zeng?” Rae was

washing her hands with an indifferent expression. “He’s an old friend that I haven’t met in many years.”

“Then why did he suddenly want to cooperate with the Barnwell Group?” Lyra asked, puzzled. Rae

coughed, “I don’t know either. Maybe he knew that I had returned to China and found out that Hank and

I were sort of related, so he came over to make friends. If you feel that there is a problem, just tell Hank

that we don’t need to cooperate.” Lyra hesitated. This was the time when the Barnwell Group needed

powerful partners the most. Jackie Zeng’s appearance was simply timely. Moreover, she was not

qualified to make decisions for Hank. “Alright, don’t think too much. Alma has already decided to go

abroad with Dr. Xu for treatment on the weekend. Will you send her to the airport?” “Yes, I will.” Lyra

turned on the tap, and the clear and cold water instantly wrapped around her fingertips. … The meeting

with Jackie had been simply too smooth. “With his strength, it’s impossible for him not to have heard

those rumors, but he chose to believe in the Barnwell Group. Should we say that he has a discerning

eye?” “Could it be…” Lyra did not say it out loud. Although she felt puzzled, she could feel Jackie’s

warmth and closeness. He really wanted to cooperate with the Barnwell Group. “Don’t think about it for

now. You should rest.” He reached out his hand and covered her.

Whatever would happen would happen. During this period of time, he had stayed up all night in the

company and Lyra had accompanied him all the time. His heartache for her exceeded everything. Early

the next morning. The downstairs of the Barnwell Group was full of reporters. In the several black

business cars parked in the distance, the directors that Huaien had won over were all sitting. “I want to

see what Hank can do today!” They stared at the door of the Barnwell Group. “He is clearly an arrow at

the end of its flight, but he still wants to struggle. How ridiculous.” “Everything is ready.” Qiao Lin came

to Huaien’s side. Huaien’s eyes fell deeply in that direction, and the sneer between his lips became

thicker and thicker. “I have waited for so many years, and I have finally waited until today. Big Brother,

let your son pay the debt you owe.” He looked down at his legs. He let out a mad laugh. On the way,

there was the sound of a car passing by, and Hank’s car drove into the parking lot. Lyra unfastened her

seat belt and walked out of the car with him. The reporters all rushed over, the microphone

and camera almost hitting their faces. “Mr. Barnwell, is the Barnwell Group going to declare bankruptcy

today?” “Mr. Barnwell, which line do you plan to work in from now on?” “Someone said that the

Barnwell Group ended like this because you forced Terry to leave. Do you regret it?” “When it comes to

business, I never know how to write the word ‘regret’.” As he spoke, he reached out to protect Lyra and

walked inside. “I told you to rest at home,” Lyra said. Her tone was full of love. The reporters were left

behind and could not catch up. Then, a few people came out of the commercial car behind them and

rushed toward the Barnwell Group’s door. They had already received the news on their phones. “The

Barnwell Group has actually got a ten-year contract with the Opple Group!” “What luck does this kid,

Hank, have?” However, just as these people were blocked at the door, a super luxurious silver-white

limousine drove in. Two people walked out of the car. One was Rae, and the other was Jackie, who

followed behind her with a smile on his face. “That is …” “Mr. Zeng? When did he return to China?

What did he come here for?” Jackie had already left the financial .circle for many years, but his

reputation had always been good, and no one could

underestimate him. Rae pushed her sunglasses and waited for Jackie to open the door for her. The

others looked at them in surprise. Only the daring reporters dared to rush over. “Mr. Zeng, may I ask

what your purpose for coming to the Barnwell Group today is?” “I want to invest in the Barnwell Group.”

Jackie’s words silenced the entire audience. In the distance, Huaien had just gotten out of the car when

he heard this. When he saw Jackie’s face clearly, he only felt an incomparable tightness in his chest.

His hands trembled and fell on the wheelchair for a long time before he calmed down. At the same

time, Jackie also noticed Huaien. His eyes instantly turned cold. He turned around and walked in with

Rae. Director Bai and the others rushed to Huaien. “What should we do now?” “Didn’t you say that

Terry would come? Why hasn’t he arrived yet?” Qiao Lin’s phone rang. He looked at the screen of his

phone and bent down to say, “Something happened. Terry is missing.” Everyone’s faces suddenly

turned pale. “What?” “What about our investment? Did that brat run away with the money?” Then, all

the reporters at the door were invited in by the Barnwell Group’s

public relations manager.”Everyone, Mr. Barnwell and Ms. Jones will give an answer to the rumors from

a few days ago. Please step inside.”
