At Jansen Group, Howard's assistant reported bad news one after another.
"Our funds can't keep up anymore. These two projects have been put on hold. The higher-ups want us to cover the costs, but the workers below aren't getting paid and refuse to speed up construction. Without money, there's nothing we can do. And this project…"
Howard paced anxiously, restless and agitated. He had believed that winning the Arnold Group bid would bring in funds and ease Jansen Group's cash flow.
However, not only did they lose the bid, but several other projects were now stuck for various reasons.
He had no idea what to do.
After pacing for a long time, his gaze landed on the stock market numbers on his screen. He struggled for a while before saying, "Sell off Jansen Group's floating stocks."
Letting in some small investors might just keep them afloat for a little longer.
"Understood. I'll arrange it right away."
His assistant then hurried off to make the arrangements.
Within moments, Jansen Group's stock price fluctuated noticeably.
Serena's gaze swept over the stalled projects in front of her, her expression unreadable.
Howard was already offloading shares in desperation, making this the perfect opportunity for an outsider to step in.
With that thought, she called for Natalie.
"I need you to handle something privately for me. I have an identity under Katarina Lopez, with a fully prepared account. Use it to buy up all the scattered shares of Jansen Group. Hold onto them, no matter the profit or loss. Calculate the amount needed, and I'll transfer it within two hours."
For a brief moment, surprise crossed Natalie's face.
"I'm an employee of Jansen Group."
Serena was asking her to use a false identity to buy shares in her own company. If this got out…
Serena only smiled, handing over the documents.
"You are someone I can trust."
