Chapter 138 - Triumph
After Jiang Yue signed the document, Wu Minxia triumphantly returned to her seat.
She had stopped looking at the screen for quite some time now. All she was doing was occasionally looking at the audience while making sure to give everyone a smile.
She did not feel the need to continue watching this useless competition anymore as she was certain of her victory.
She took another look at the crowd and beamed when she saw her father and grandfather approaching the stage.
She walked towards them. "Grandfather, Father... I'm glad you could make it. I was just about to call you again.. Look I made a..."
"We heard about what you did." Wang Guiren cut off Wu Minxia's words.
"Are you crazy? We already told you about this. I told you not to do something against Jiang Yue. Not until we can make new plans!" Wu Sheng hissed, trying his best not to let anyone else hear their conversation.
They were back at the drawing board right now and were trying to come up with a new plan to possibly counter Jiang Yue's schemes.
Now his daughter was so stupid as to even make a bet against her. Hadn't Wu Minxia learnt her lesson by now?
She had been constantly losing against Jiang Yue. How could she still think that she could defeat that woman?
Was his daughter truly this stupid?
"Father, what are you talking about? Can't you see? I am winning. That virus will be with us soon. You should be really proud of me, you know." She pouted. How come her father was still chastising her even though she did something that could benefit them?
"Winning? Are you sure about that?" Old Man Wu asked looking towards the screen. He may not be an expert like Wu Minxia, but he still had some knowledge when it came to coding algorithms.
However, just like Wu Minxia, he was not familiar with the code that was running on Jiang Yue's computer. For him, this scene was completely foreign.
"Of course grandpa. Look at that... does that look like anything close to my algorithms? I mean... You've seen it right?"
Old Man Wu nodded and started to analyze things. Then he furrowed his brows as a realization hit him.
No. Jiang Yue is not so stupid as to bet something as important as this. She would not do something that she is unsure of.
So, if she is not so stupid as to make this bet then...
"Minxia... can you tell me more about this bet?" He inquired. Old Man Wu could not help but suspect about Jiang Yue's true goal in making this bet.
"Oh... If she wins then we will give her five percent shares of our company... If I win..."
"What did you say?" Old Man Wu wanted to clarify Wu Minxia's words. After all, Jiang Yue wouldn't have wanted some shares right?
"Shares grandfather! She wanted to have five percent of our shares under her name." Wu Minxia's words seemed to echo in Old Man Wu's ear as his heart started to race.
She wanted shares? What for? Wait... Is she...
"How sure are you that you will win?" This time it was Wu Sheng who asked his daughter. His thoughts were exactly the same as Old Man Wu's. They both knew that Jiang Yue does not like suffering any losses.
"Daddy... you should relax. I am hundred percent sure that I will win this bet. Just look at the crowd... They are sending weird looks at her... I mean... I couldn't be more certain than this."
"Minxia... are you sure that they are sending pitiful looks at Jiang Yue and not you?" Old Man Wu asked his granddaughter. He had also noticed the weird stares from the crowd. But unlike Wu Minxia, he noticed that they were not aimed at Jiang Yue but his granddaughter.
Did that mean that these people understood what Jiang Yue was doing? But Wu Minxia is also the best in her field. How come she did not know any of this?
"Of course not. I'm sure most of them are just confused. They don't understand what Jiang Yue is doing." She answered full of confidence and arrogance.
Old Man Wu and Wu Sheng frowned after they heard Wu Minxia's words. It was pretty obvious to them that the crowd was looking pitifully at her and not at Jiang Yue.
Suddenly, a burst of small laughter broke out in triumph.
Wu Minxia immediately turned her head to look at Jiang Yue. "Finally, are you giving up now?" She asked, her voice laced with impatience.
"Hahaha... I don't know what you are talking about Miss Wu but I know for sure that you will regret your words soon." Jiang Yue responded before walking towards her.
"I won Miss Wu. Please expect to see my lawyers for my shares."
Wu Minxia, as well as Old Man Wu and Wu Sheng, stood frozen when they heard Jiang Yue's words.
Did she win?
How the h*ll did she win?
"You must be joking right?" Wu Minxia immediately scoffed. "What winning? Everyone here knows that you lost."
Jiang Yue stifled another laugh. "Well, since you don't understand what I did, let me explain how I won."
