His Genius Wife Is A Superstar

Chapter 1431  Give Me a Heart Attack One Day

At first, Long Tengfei thought that Phantom Dragon Funds was targeting his Long Industries. But on closer inspection, it was doing the same thing to other businesses, both new and long-established ones.

It was aggressively acquiring as many shares as it could buy. His Long Industries wasn't anything special when viewed from this perspective.

Besides, the acquisition of shares itself wasn't a bad thing. It even helped in increasing the value of the shares due to the attention. The total value of Long Industries as a company had increased a lot since Phantom Dragon Funds started targeting its shares. In a way, Long Tengfei should be thankful for it.

However, his intuition as a businessman honed from decades of experience couldn't help but sound an alarm at the too-aggressive acquisition of shares of his company.

He suspected that there might be something in play behind the scenes that he hadn't figured out yet. He needed more information about the other party's real intention as to why they wanted to acquire so many of his company's shares.

Long Industries was his life and blood.

There was even a point in his life when he thought it was more important than his children.

Of course, he was already starting to mend his ways, but Long Industries was still an important part of his life and identity. He couldn't allow anyone to blindside him and take his company away without a fight.

This was why he wanted to meet the people behind Phantom Dragon Funds in person. It was only now that the other party accepted his invitation for a meeting.

He was initially displeased. He thought that they were too cocky for their own good. Typical behavior of ambitious youngsters just setting foot in the industry.

Now, however, his displeasure turned into anticipation after hearing that the owner was finally willing to show his face to others. Long Tengfei couldn't wait to meet the mysterious eccentric owner behind Phantom Dragon Funds

They arrived in front of a closed door.

The assistant knocked on the door before opening it.

Long Tengfei and Cai Guang walked inside the conference room, ready to greet the CEO and the mysterious owner.

Then they were both stunned.

Iris stood up from her seat at the head of the table and gave them a dazzling smile. Her smile blinded them, further freezing them on the spot.

"Hello, Father," she greeted Long Tengfeifirst before nodding at Cai Guang. "Welcome to my Phantom Dragon Funds. I heard from my CEO that you've been looking forward to meeting me. Please sit down. What would you like to drink? Coffee, tea, juice, water?"

"Y-you…Xiulan?" Long Tengfei stammered.

Iris tilted her head to the side and smiled. "Yes, Father. It's me."

Long Tengfei didn't remain shocked for too long. He had already experienced far more shocking bombshells thrown by his youngest daughter before today.

The first time was when he discovered that his daughter was in a romantic relationship with CEO Jin Liwei of Jin Corporation.

The second time was when he learned that his daughter was actually a rare genius and even enrolled in the legendary school for geniuses, Cross Academy.

The third time was when he unknowingly attended his youngest daughter's surprise wedding and learned that she was also pregnant at the same time.

And finally, the biggest shock (more like the biggest happy surprise so far) was when his youngest daughter plus his other daughter gave birth to their own sets of twin sons respectively.

Of course, there were many more shocking bombshells in between these huge ones. He should have already become numb at being shocked by his youngest daughter all the time, but in fact, he still couldn't get used to it.

His daughter, Long Xiulan, was too much of an outlier among the people he knew.

Most of the time, she didn't conform to logic. She loved to shock others.

'She'll give me a heart attack one day if she continues like this,' he thought, feeling helpless.

Finally, he asked, "You're the owner of Phantom Dragon Funds?" he asked.

"Correct." Iris didn't deny it. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Long Tengfei sighed. He glanced at his long-time assistant Cai Guang who still hadn't recovered from his stunned state. Then he didn't stand on ceremony and sat down. He felt exhausted all of a sudden.

"Tea," he requested. "No, I want coffee instead."

He needed something stronger than tea to face this cunning daughter of his. Looking around the elegant yet imposing conference room, the fact that his daughter threw him this kind of curveball was starting to sink in. Indeed, she was a genius.

Someone average couldn't possibly set up a new company and grow it at the speed of light like this. Only a genius like her could create a diabolical company and target her own father's company, wanting to swallow it, while at the same time doing the same to other companies to make it look less conspicuous.

So he had been right to suspect his youngest daughter before.

She indeed owned Phantom Dragon Funds, and yet he retracted this suspicion after falsely believing that his supposedly reliable son-in-law wouldn't allow Iris to run a company investing an enormous amount of money so recklessly like this.

It turned out that his son-in-law, Jin Liwei, loved his wife too much that he would allow her to do anything she wanted despite the possible disastrous consequences.

Long Tengfei once again sighed.

He felt a dull ache in his head. When the CEO himself served him and Cai Guang a cup of black coffee each, he would've downed it in one go if it wasn't so scalding hot.

The other staff already left. Only Iris, the CEO, Long Tengfei and Cai Guang were left in the conference room.

"Xiulan…." Long Tengfei began saying, but couldn't formulate a coherent sentence to tell her daughter yet.

"Father—no, I should call you President Long Tengfei since we're in an official business setting," Iris said. "I know what you want to ask me. I won't waste any more time and keep you guessing."
