Back at the clothing store, Phoebe had bought clothes and was waiting for him. When she saw him coming back, she came to him with a smile and said, "Finished?"
Tom nodded and explained, "Phoebe, there is nothing between Amelia and me. You mustn't..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Phoebe gently put her hand on his mouth and said with a smile, "No, no. I trust you."
Tom was stunned and said in disbelief, "Phoebe, why do you trust me so much?"
Phoebe's trust made him uneasy. Amelia was also a top-quality beauty, and her every smile was seductive. It was difficult for a man to resist Amelia.
Phoebe said, "Why not? After four years of marriage, we sleep in the same room every day. You've never crossed the line. Is there anyone in this world that can hold back his desire more times than you did?"
Uh...
Tom was speechless and felt strange. Was Phoebe praising him or insulting him?
However, since Phoebe trusted him, he had nothing to worry about. Anyway, he had a clear conscience.
After that, they shopped for a while and returned to Dragon Bay. Because Phoebe got her period, Tom couldn't help but hold Phoebe in his arms and sleep although he was very lustful.
The next day, they got up early and went to resume their matrimonial relations.
When he went to ZQ Inc, Tom held a meeting of high management and asked the management of the company to report to him the current progress of the company and how the financial income was.
Now, ZQ's market value exceeded 8 billion. It was a lot. Every month's profits were very good, and all the shareholders had made a good profit.
All of them knew very well that Tom deserved at least 80% of the credit for ZQ Media's success. Tom had made many good decisions, which not only made ZQ run forward but also made it become bigger and bigger after avoiding several crises.
They believed that under the leadership of the chairman, ZQ Media would definitely do better and better, and even be likely to become the largest media company in the country!
Looking at the chairman in the main seat, they did not hide their admiration and reverence for him. Everyone reported their work and waited for the chairman to speak.
However, what Tom said next shocked all of them.
"ZQ Media has reached a bottleneck in its development. It might suffer from the joint strangulation of many of our peers. Now stop and sell 30% of the shares in your hands for a reshuffle. We will be facing a tough battle, and everyone should be prepared for it."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned. What happened? ZQ Media was doing well, and its market value was rising every day. How could this be a bottleneck? Many professionals analyzed that ZQ Media's market value could reach at least 12 billion.
Now, Tom's decision was obviously to tie himself up and cripple himself.
So the conference room was quiet for half a minute. Almost everyone was puzzled and dissatisfied with Tom's decision, but they did not dare to refute it immediately because Tom's pressure was too great. Tom, who was standing there, was like a mountain, pressing them down so hard that they couldn't breathe.
Finally, a senior manager of finance and the stock market raised a question and said in a cautious tone, "Boss, according to my experience, the company is still growing. More than 90% of the projects are under our control, and we are constantly creating value for the company. We also get along well with our peers. Forgive me for my ignorance, but in the current situation, shouldn't we increase the scale of development? Why are we selling stocks and stopping expansion?"
