The next morning, Iris received a call from her financial manager, Qiao Yu. He informed her that another 5% shares of Long Industries were put up for sale. Qiao Yu immediately made an offer but was rejected when it was discovered that he was buying it for her.
"Despite your growing reputation, there are still people from Long Industries that don't think highly of you," Qiao Yu told her. "We have the money. I even offered to pay more, but the shareholder refused to sell it to me because of his preconceived notions against you."
Iris frowned. This wasn't the kind of news that she wanted to hear first thing in the morning.
"Who bought it, then?" she asked.
Qiao Yu hesitated. After a few seconds, he finally told her.
"It's the Young Master Long Hui."
Iris was surprised. "What? Where did he get the money? Did he get a loan? Did he sell some of his properties?"
