Chapter 450: Portrait of the Secret Study (Five Watches)
The next day, the major media, television, newspapers, and the Internet in New York City released an astonishing news: Brandon, the former CEO of Meiheng Group, together with Joseph, a director of Wall Street Investment Bank, Allen, the former chairman of Meiheng, and Dick, a director of Meiheng, manipulated Meiheng's stock price and tried to set off a takeover war, but was finally sniped by Henry's successor, Miss Anna, and failed.
Brandon committed suicide by jumping off a building because he owed a huge debt of up to $200 million for the purchase of the U.S. Constant Futures Index in advance; Allen and Dick declared bankruptcy, and Joseph was kicked out of the investment bank's board; At the same time, Brandon's alumnus, Henry's chief secretary Benjamin, resigned.
This incident caused an uproar in New York.
Anna is once again famous, a young girl of just twenty-one who is now the first person in your New York City political and business scene, and she is in the limelight for a while.
Everyone praises Henry's unique vision, and in the future, Blu-ray Fund and Meiheng Group will have successors.
The good news was released, and the stock prices of Blu-ray Fund and Meiheng soared.
Meiheng Group reshuffled, and without much effort, Victor, Nan Sichen and Sophie became the major shareholders of Meiheng and entered the ranks of the board of directors.
In the morning, Henry convened a new shareholders' meeting of Meiheng.
At the meeting, the three of them had calm faces and spoke elegantly.
Towards the end of the meeting, Victor spoke: "Here, I would like to announce that all my shares in Meiheng will be transferred to my fiancée, Miss Anna, as a dowry for my proposal to Miss Anna!" ”
When the words fell, Anna looked at him with beautiful eyes.
In addition to being surprised, I was even more surprised.
She doesn't care about shares and money, what she cares more about is the sincere heart behind this dowry.
Hearing this, the directors present burst into laughter and congratulated Anna.
I thought, sure enough, it was Duke Victor, kneeling down to propose, jumping into the sea to propose, and now there is a share proposal, such infatuation, coupled with such arrogance, which girl can resist it!
Even if it is a goddess with unparalleled talent and appearance, she will give him food to death!
However, everyone's aunt couldn't stop laughing, and then her jaw dropped when Nan Sichen's words dropped!
I saw that the noble and elegant son smiled softly and said, "Following Duke Victor's transfer, I also want to announce here that my shares and Ms. Sophie's shares will be transferred to Miss Cindy Blue!" ”
"Ahh
Nan Sichen's words fell, and everyone was shocked!
Victor gave Anna shares, after all, Anna was his fiancée; However, Lan Nianyun has heard of it, she is just a little-known little girl, and so far, she and Nan Sichen have no marriage contract, so they can only be regarded as his girlfriend.
Such a weak relationship has won the same honor as Anna!
Not only that, even the celebrity in the fashion industry, the respected Sophie, wants to transfer the shares to Lan Nianyun!
In this way, Lan Nianyun has become the largest shareholder of Meiheng below Henry!
The directors couldn't believe it, and even Henry had an incredible look in his eyes.
saw Sophie, who was sitting beside him, smiled lightly at him and nodded slightly.
Henry understood, immediately restrained his expression, and said lightly: "Today's board of directors is here, and as for the transfer proposal proposed by Ms. Sophie, Duke Victor and Prince Lawrence, I will ask the lawyer to draw up the contract as soon as possible and complete the formalities." ”
The meeting ended with a roar of amazement.
After the meeting ended, Henry looked at the time, his clear eyes swept over Sophie, Victor, Nan Sichen and Anna, and proposed with a light smile, "It's rare to get together today, let's have lunch together!" ”
Anna was in a happy mood, glanced at Victor coquettishly, and then glanced sideways at Nan Sichen, but her hand naturally held Sophie, and said with a little coquettishness: "Sophie, where do you want to eat, I'll book a place!" ”
Sophie turned her gaze to Henry, smiled slightly, and said meaningfully, "It's better for Henry to decide!" ”
Henry got up from his seat, gentle and elegant, "I would like to invite you to my apartment for a light meal, and then, I would like you to join me in viewing a magnificent painting that hangs in my study." ”
When Anna heard this, she was stunned!
Involuntarily quickened my heartbeat.
Was it the painting he had bought in the gallery two and a half years ago?
The woman in the painting resembles hers, and Anna knows that she is the lover of Henry's dreams.
And she has always been full of curiosity about that woman......
**
After lunch, Henry took a key and opened the door to the secret study.
Then, he stood in the doorway and made an inviting gesture to the four of them.
The four mermaids rushed in and looked around.
I saw that the layout of this study was very simple, with only a desk, a swivel chair and a few European-style sofa seats.
However, the oil painting hanging on the wall was enough to attract their attention.
As soon as Nan Sichen and Victor saw the painting, they knew who the woman in the painting was.
They stood silently in front of the portrait, unable to take their eyes off it.
Even though the woman in the painting is in a desolate and barren small fishing port, even though she is ragged and holding only a worn-out fishing net in her hand, she is still stunningly beautiful, so beautiful that it makes people sigh......
This woman is none other than Anna and Lan Nianyun's biological mother, Catherine!
And when Sophie saw this portrait, her heart fluctuated and she couldn't help herself.
Unconsciously, tears sparkled in her eyes, blurring her vision.
The woman in the painting is still so young, she looks to be only twenty-four or five years old.
It seems that this painting is exactly what her daughter looked like before she died, but why would Catherine live in such a poor place and live such a poor life......
Sophie didn't dare to think about it, she didn't want to think about it, she shook her head, and the tears fell silently.
Anna, who was standing beside her, saw her expression and felt an inexplicable pain in her heart.
She hurriedly grabbed Sophie's arm, took her to sit on the two-seater sofa facing the portrait, and sat beside her with Sophie.
After a while, when Henry sat in the swivel chair behind the desk, and Nan Sichen and Victor also sat down on the two single sofas, one left and one right, Anna finally couldn't help it and asked softly: "Sophie, do you know the woman in this painting?" ”
Sophie bowed slightly, took out a handkerchief from the pocket of her clothes, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then choked up and said, "Anna, this painting is painted by my daughter Catherine!" ”
