Chapter 1021 Someone Lurking in the Dark (15)

• Chengkai has officially decided to pull out of Regal Peaks—across the board. Every project we’re working on with them, we’ll yank all our funding. No follow-ups, no more cash injections, no future business or partnerships. It’s ripping the firewood from under the pot—clean cut. We’re severing ties with Regal Peaks entirely, even with the Li and Zheng families’ years of friendship.
• Thing is, that decision didn’t come from Zheng Mingjie’s father, Zheng Chengwen. When he first heard Regal Peaks was in trouble, as a major shareholder with a far bigger stake than anyone else, his first instinct was to call Malcom Sawyer and figure out some kind of crisis PR to keep his own interests from taking a hit.
• “Old Li really picked a hell of a time to go down. Isn’t he screwing me with this? Our combined shares in Regal Peaks add up to about fourteen percent. With their stock tanking like this, I ran the numbers—we’ve lost close to twenty million just on the portion we’re holding. And this trend? It’s gonna keep dropping. As for the project losses—don’t even start. At this point I’m worried even if Old Li goes back to Regal Peaks, he won’t be able to rally the troops. I need to find him fast, tell him to think of something. If this keeps rolling, who knows how bad he’ll drag us down.” Zheng Chengwen spoke, anxious as hell, and pulled out his phone to call Malcom.
