Chapter 95 Back To The Company

When Melinda returned home, she saw Nelson playing with Momo in the yard. He had been sitting in
the yard for a long time, waiting for them to arrive.

Momo snapped its head when it saw Melinda. It immediately ran towards her and began to rub its head
against her leg.

Jonas envied the cat as it got to be closer to Melinda than he was.

"You're back soon. How's everything going?" Nelson asked.

"I've taken care of everything, Grandpa. Why don't you go to the room and rest? It's windy and you
must take care of your health," Melinda said worriedly.

Although Nelson looked healthy, Melinda remembered how weak he had been and how much he had
suffered in the past.

The night breeze swept across the yard, making the leaves dance wildly to its rhythm. Before anyone
knew, it was already autumn that carried the sweet scent of flowers and moist leaves.

Jonas followed Melinda and helped Nelson get into the villa. Melinda made an excuse and went
upstairs to get the marriage certificate when it was inside her bag.

Melinda took out the marriage certificate from her bag. It looked brand new without any creases or
spots. If not for the date on the certificate, everyone would have thought that it was a new one.

Nelson sat in the living room and Jonas instructed Mary to make snacks and cut fruits for Nelson. He
also went to the study and brought the Chinese chessboard to play with his grandfather.

"Grandpa, why don't you have dinner here? I'll cook tonight," Melinda asked as she stood behind
Nelson and handed the marriage certificate to him.



Nelson eagerly took the marriage certificate and immediately looked at the date. Both Jonas and
Melinda glanced at each other and heaved a sigh of relief.

"Good, good. You two are perfect for each other. I'm sure your children would be as beautiful as you
two are." Nelson smiled fondly.

He was happy that his grandchildren hadn't lied to him. His happiness reached its peak when he saw
Jonas smiling in the photo.

Nelson returned the certificate to Melinda. Jonas understood the hidden meaning behind his
grandfather's words and stole a glance at Melinda. He saw her bite her lip as a subtle blush lined her
cheeks.

"Grandpa, you continue with your game. I'll go to the kitchen to make dinner."

Melinda scurried to the kitchen. Jonas couldn't help smiling. Until now, he hadn't realized that his wife
was shy. She looked incredibly cute when she blushed.

That night, Nelson restored Jonas's authority in the company.

Jonas returned to Soaring Group the next day. Some were happy to see him, while others were
disappointed that he was back sooner than they had expected. The company functioned without the
CEO during his absence.

William was happy to have Jonas back in the company. He told everything about the company's affairs
and what had happened to Jonas when he wasn't around.

Jonas knitted his brows and looked at William as he felt that something was wrong. "It's the right time
to acquire this company. Didn't anyone from the board of directors tell about it?"



Jonas was referring to one of the family businesses in the local area. The company had been in the
field for a long time but it was incurring losses because of lack of new technology. Jonas's competitor
was ready for acquisition but the managers of Soaring Group hadn't taken any actions so far.

There had been a lot of talk in the industry and Jonas was up-to-date with all the news even though he
was suspended from work.

"No, the board of directors has only been arguing about obtaining power." William frowned.

Everyone wanted to take advantage of Jonas's absence to seize the power and become the CEO of
Soaring Group. The greediest of them was Jonas's uncle, Aron Gu. He was Jonas's father's younger
brother.

William didn't disclose all the information but Jonas could understand Aron Gu's intentions. Jonas
scoffed when he thought about his greedy uncle.

"You have to work overtime for the next two days to plan our acquisition," Jonas said.

He had planned everything that was cardinal to the company's growth and the acquisition of the
company needed immediate attention.

Meanwhile, in the general manager's office, a middle-aged man was sitting on the leather sofa,
smoking a cigarette as he listened to his secretary explain about Jonas's moves after he had returned
to work.

"Is he planning to acquire the company?" Aron Gu asked coldly.

His deep eyes were glinting with malice as he looked at the secretary through his black-rimmed
glasses. He resembled Jonas but his features were sharper, which made him look scarier.

"The people in the CEO office have already started the acquisition plan," the secretary said.



Aron Gu smashed the cigarette on the ashtray and wiped his hands. He thought that Jonas and the
company would suffer irrevocable damage and losses but he didn't expect Jonas to regain power
sooner.

He was mad at Nelson for sending Jonas back to work before he executed all his plans.

"Arrange a meeting with all the shareholders. I'm going to invite them to dinner tonight."

Aron Gu was preparing to fight for the inheritance of the company. He had been flattering the
shareholders to gain their trust, in the hope of receiving their support when he competed for power.

Nelson had given full authority and power of the company to Jonas. Although Aron Gu was Nelson's
son, he was a mere shareholder and possessed no right of inheritance.

He was the general manager of Soaring Group and couldn't accept that he had to obey his nephew's
orders.

It took three days for the team to come up with the plan. They had prepared the rough model by the
third day. They already had an idea about the company and it didn't take long to chart the plan.

Jonas made the final modification and held a board meeting. As soon as he spoke out about his plan,
some shareholders gathered to object his decision.

"Our profit margin will rise only if we acquire a technologically advanced company. Although this is a
reputed company, their methods are archaic. We might have to invest a lot of money on manpower and
resources to meet the industrial standards."

"That would be unnecessary. Although the company is old, it continues to be a leading enterprise
because of its efficient management. If we acquire the company, it will be beneficial for us in the long
run," Jonas said sternly.



The two parties were arguing heatedly and some of them had a neutral stance. Jonas silently watched
everyone, making a note of their opinions.

He glanced at Aron Gu who was sitting at the right side of the table with a wicked smile on his face.
Jonas knew that he was a cold, calculating man.

He couldn't help but admire Aron Gu's manipulative skills. He had managed to gather the support of
many people within a short period.

"Why don't we vote and come to a conclusion?" Aron Gu suggested.

The room fell silent as everyone turned to look at him. They discussed and finally agreed to his
decision.

The result was a tie as forty percent of them agreed, another forty percent disagreed, while the
remaining twenty percent of shareholders were neutral.

Jonas wasn't surprised by the result and concluded the meeting.

"Jonas, you're still young. Your methods are unorthodox and impulsive,"

Aron Gu said, pursing his lips. Jonas took a sip of his tea, placed the cup on the table, and smiled.

"You say my methods are impulsive? I feel that I have been too lenient in the past and that's the reason
why we've come to this situation. It's time I took a serious decision."

Aron Gu's jaw dropped, and his eyes widened with shock. He felt that Jonas's words were directed
towards him.

"Soaring Group is a large company and all the employees are dependent on us. We need to take our
time and come up with the right decision." Aron Gu glared.



"How can we move forward if we aren't ready to take risky decisions. We cannot play safe all the time.
Anyway, I don't think acquiring that company is highly risky."

Aron Gu acted like a conservative man, who believed that following the traditional methods was the
only way to attain success. He behaved as if he prioritized the company over everything else and felt
that Jonas was overlooking the future of the company.

"You are still too young to know what's right and what's not," Aron Gu said.

"Now is the time where youngsters rule. Am I right, Uncle Aron?" Jonas smirked.

Aron Gu opened his mouth to say something but swallowed loudly and remained quiet. Jonas stood up
to leave. William packed his things and transferred the results into a USB and left with Jonas.

Everyone walked out of the meeting room, leaving Aron Gu all alone. He looked at the direction where
Jonas had left. Aron Gu wasn't ready to accept his defeat.

Jonas returned to his office and gave a list of the names of the shareholders to William.

"Boss, are you planning to investigate them?" William asked.

Jonas had made a note of the people who intended to defeat him. They weren't telling their opinions, or
rather tried to make everyone believe that Jonas was wrong.

He knew that they were his enemies and he needed to get rid of them.

"I want you to arrange a private detective to investigate what they are up to. I'll make sure we acquire
the company by then. And don't forget to arrange someone to spy on Uncle Aron. He would go to any
extent to have what he wants," Jonas said, rubbing his temples.



Jonas knew that these shareholders had ganged up with Aron Gu and he wanted to gather evidence
against him.

The shareholders were smart and Jonas couldn't execute his plans. But they were oblivious to Jonas's
next move.

The private detective was efficient. He gathered a lot of information in a short period. Jonas understood
that his company was plagued by these people who were working against him. He also found that
some of the workers in the financial department were preparing false reports.

"Wow! What a plan!"

William's eyes widened with shock when he skimmed through the results of the shareholders. He felt
that they deserved to be punished.

Jonas started defeating them by attacking one of the shareholders. His opponents were routed
ruthlessly and they gradually vanished from the shareholder's group.

It was already too late by the time Aron Gu found that Jonas was behind all of this. Jonas had already
collected the evidence and secretly launched attacks against his enemies.

Several shareholders, who had been against him, left the company one after another. The
shareholders' meeting was held again and the acquisition plans were unanimously approved by
everyone.

Jonas had already allocated the people to execute the acquisition, and the plan would be carried out as
soon as the deal was accepted.

Jonas's plan was elaborate. He effortlessly bought the company even though his competitor was
strong.



Everyone became terrified of Jonas and didn't dare to acquire his position. No one knew who would be
the next shareholder to disappear from Soaring Group.
