After the negotiation, the Shen family father and son took the initiative to propose that they would like to invite Tao Mu to have a simple meal in the name of the host.
Tao Mu directly rejected it.
With the experience of his previous life as a foundation, Tao Mu had no favorable impression of Shanghai. If this wasn't for seeking justice for the Song family, Tao Mu wouldn't even want to set foot on the land of Shanghai in his life.
"Time is running out. Grandpa Song is still waiting for me in Beijing." Tao Mu nodded at the Shen family father and son, and asked Yao Shengan: "Let's go get the recipe now."
In order to avoid more trouble, Tao Mu asked Yao Shengan to hand over the menu on the day of the negotiation. He would take the recipe back to the capital overnight. As for Yao Shengan, he just needs to show up and kowtow on the day of the Song family's ancestor worship. As for the rest of the time, the old man probably didn't want to see this ungrateful enemy who caused the Song family to be destroyed.
It's Chinese New Year, and Tao Mu doesn't want Mr. Song to be too emotional. When you get old, anger is harmful to your health.
Yao Shengan was half angry and half sighing, but he dared not say anything. He had no choice but to agree with Tao Mu to go back to the Yao family with him.
When the other shareholders of Saint-An Group saw this, they couldn't help but wonder in their hearts - he is indeed a young man, full of youthful vigor, and actually dared to go to Tiger Cave alone. He was not afraid that the Yao family would get angry and beat him up.
Of course Tao Mu is not afraid. He grew up in an orphanage and later worked at night. When he was in high school, he naturally frequented the alleys of old Yanjing. He even learned fighting from Brother Dahui. If a fight really came to a head, those pampered losers from the Yao family might not be able to defeat him.
In order to win over Tao Mu, the Shen family father and son decided to accompany Tao Mu to the Yao family.
"You and Xiaoyu are also friends. Xiaoyu has been spoiled by us. He only considers things from his own perspective and doesn't know how to think from other people's perspectives. He is inevitably naive and confused. But he really values you as a friend. So we will also treat you as our own junior."
Father Shen smiled kindly, and when he looked at Tao Mu, he really looked like a loving elder.
The eldest brother of the Shen family still had that expressionless face that never wavered for a thousand years, and said expressionlessly: "Xiao Yu is also at Yao's house. We can pick him up on the way there."
Once again, he invited Tao Mu: "I wonder if Mr. Tao has time to come to my house for a simple meal. Last time, I said that I would let Jiamei and Xiaoyu apologize to you in person, but there has been no chance."
Tao Mu refused again: "I have booked a flight for the evening. After getting the menu from the Yao family, Lawyer Zhou and I will go directly to the airport."
The ruthless lawyer Zhou nodded and smiled at the Shen family father and son: "President Tao will transfer 10% of the shares of Sheng'an Group to the other victims, and the remaining 10% will be used to establish the Song Huai Fund and will be handed over to me to manage. If Chairman Shen and President Shen need anything, they can contact me directly in the future."
Lawyer Zhou said this and handed over his business card with both hands.
After Lawyer Zhou's unremitting efforts in recent times, he has successfully become the legal advisor of Feixun.com and the private lawyer hired by Tao Mu himself. The subsequent development was just as he expected. Judging from the various lawsuits Tao Mu had gone through recently, he had finally achieved the path of a winner in life, where he could make a living for three years without finishing his business.
The Shen family father and son had good intentions, but Lawyer Zhou hinted that they wanted to win over Tao Mu, the newly appointed major shareholder. I was suddenly speechless.
Yao Shengan glanced coldly at the father and son of the Shen family and sneered unceremoniously.
The two families have completely fallen out because of the sudden changes in the Saint An Group. It's just that due to his low quality and cultivation, he doesn't curse in public.
But Yao Shengan will probably never forget in his entire life how the Shen father and son took advantage of the Yao family's misfortune when the family was in the most difficult time and needed help the most. Things have changed. In the past, because he coveted the Song family recipe, he caused the Song family to be destroyed. Now he has tasted the feeling of being betrayed and attacked from all sides.
However, Yao Shengan is not the old man of the Song family, and the Shen family is not Yao Shengan. Both of them knew that the fight between the two families had just begun. Yao Shengan will not let go of the Shen family who stabbed him in the back. He is like a lurking poisonous snake, hiding in a dark corner waiting for an opportunity to strike.
The Shen family also knew Yao Shengan's character. Therefore, they would not allow Yao Shengan and his family to continue to stay in the Shengan Group and enjoy wealth and prosperity. As the saying goes, if you don't kill the snake, you will suffer from it. The Shen family has done something wrong, so naturally they don't dare to dream that they can repair their relationship with the Yao family. Since the relationship cannot be repaired, then simply stepping on the Yao family and making it impossible for the Yao family to recover forever is naturally the safest way to protect the Shen family.
But these have nothing to do with Tao Mu. He was too lazy to care about how the Shen family and the Yao family would fight in the future. It's just a dog-eat-dog situation.
The three groups got into the car with different thoughts and did not talk to each other along the way. It was noon when we arrived at the Yao family mansion.
Yao Shengan has always been grateful to Tao Mu for writing an article to speak for him in the gutter oil incident, so he wanted to invite Tao Mu to lunch.
Tao Mu knew that Yao Shengan's invitation came from the heart - this old bastard's gratitude was probably only worth a meal. But he didn't dare to trust the intelligence and methods of other members of the Yao family. Yao Wenxiao, in particular, might even hint to the chef to poison the food.
Tao Mu didn't want to test the Yao family's cunningness with his own life. After entering the Yao family mansion, he didn't even drink a sip of water. He just waited for Yao Shengan to bring out the menu so that he could turn around and leave.
The Yao family did not expect that after this negotiation, they would actually lose 20% of their shares. Yao Shengan, the head of the Yao family, had to rush to the capital during the New Year, and even at an old age, he had to kowtow and apologize in front of the Song family's graves.
He glared at Tao Mu at the moment. I really want to swarm over him and eat his flesh and drink his blood.
"Mr. Tao, right? Are you going too far? We, the Yao family, have no grudges against you in the past or in the present, but you actually took away 20% of our Yao family's shares in Sheng'an Group just because of some old matters of the Song family. That's fine. Why do you want my father to kowtow and apologize at the Song family's grave on New Year's Day? Killing is not the right thing to do. My father is so old, and he is a person of status and face in Shanghai. You humiliate him like this? Do you have a clear conscience?"
"Mom, don't waste your time talking to him. Just tell someone to kick them out. We in the Yao family don't welcome people like that." Yao Wenxiao interrupted his mother, rushed over, grabbed Tao Mu by the collar, and wanted to throw him out.
The next second, everyone heard a scream and saw a flash before their eyes. Yao Wenxiao, who was originally in a rage, was kicked three meters away, and the exquisite tea sets and small ornaments on the coffee table broke into pieces on the ground.
Tao Mu retracted his foot, patted his clothes leisurely, and sat down again: "Just talk, don't make a move. If you really start to fight, I will let your whole family come together."
The security guards who had been guarding outside the mansion came in a group. Yao Wenxiao rolled and crawled to his feet. Half of his face was red and swollen. There was a clear footprint on his chest. He looked miserable. "Throw him out."
Several security guards looked at Tao Mu in unison. The Shen family father and son wanted to reconcile, but before they could open their mouths, Shen Yu said, "Wen Xiao, don't be like this. Mumu is still a guest brought back by Grandpa Yao. If you just chase him away, will Grandpa Yao be unhappy?"
Shen Yu judged others by himself. If he dared to drive away the guests invited by Shen's father and Shen Chen in the Shen family mansion, even if he was loved by his family, his father and brother would not easily indulge him.
"You are still speaking for him at this time?" Yao Wenxiao looked at Shen Yu in disbelief. "He took away 20% of our family's shares and made my grandfather kowtow to the Song family to apologize. He has bullied our Yao family. He showed off his power in our Yao family's house and beat me up like this. Shouldn't I kick him out? Should I let him stay as a guest in the Yao family?"
"Xiao Yu, don't be fooled by his face. He is not a good person at all. He has a vicious heart!"
Shen Yu disagreed. Although he was simple, he had heard about the old story of Yao Shengan who was ungrateful and betrayed his teacher and ancestors, due to the intentional disclosure by the Shen family father and son. In Shen Yu's opinion, it was Grandpa Yao who was wrong in this matter. It is only natural to give half of the Yao family's property to the Song family as an apology. What's more, Tao Mu and the Song family didn't want half of the Yao family's property, but only 20% of the shares of the Sheng'an Group.
"Why are you so excited about something that Grandpa Yao agreed to? Do you think it was right for Grandpa Yao to frame the Song family for the recipe?" Shen Yu looked at Yao Wenxiao in disbelief. He never knew that his childhood sweetheart was such an unkind person.
Yao Wenxiao choked when he heard this. Of course, he didn't dare to say that Yao Shengan's original approach was correct. No matter how arrogant and domineering he is, he still has basic moral values.
"But Tao Mu asked my grandfather to go to the Song family tomb to apologize on New Year's Day. Isn't that right?" Yao Wenxiao said angrily, "My grandfather is so old. Why should he be humiliated so much because of a little mistake he made when he was young? Didn't he do a lot of charity and good things in his life? Why do you want to erase all the good things my grandfather has done just because of that little thing back then? And let him rush to the capital to kowtow and apologize at his old age? Do you still want your Feixun.com to take a picture of this scene and upload it to the Internet for everyone to see?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the other members of the Yao family were suddenly awed. Yao Shengan is the pillar of the Yao family and the face of the Yao family. If the video of him going to the Song family to kowtow and apologize really went viral on the Internet. How can the Yao family maintain a foothold in Shanghai in the future?
Thinking of this, the other members of the Yao family also glared at Tao Mu. It made him more determined not to let Tao Mu succeed. Yao Wenxiao's father reached out and patted the bruised Yao Wenxiao. He felt sorry for his son and worried about his father. He said, "Please leave here, Mr. Tao. We don't welcome you in the Yao family."
At the signal from Yao Wenxiao's father, the Yao family's bodyguards walked up to Tao Mu and said, "Mr. Tao, please."
Tao Mu didn't move, and politely reminded: "Let me remind you, I came to Shanghai this time because the Sheng'an Group asked me to come to negotiate. I am quite satisfied with the current negotiation results. But if your Yao family continues to make trouble like this, I may not be satisfied."
Everyone in the Yao family was startled.
Tao Mu sneered and said, "If I'm not satisfied, it's your Yao family that will be in trouble. If you don't believe me, you can try it."
Lawyer Zhou coughed lightly and kindly helped translate: "My client means that if he is not satisfied, the Yao family will have to pay more than just 20% of the shares. I understand your feelings. But don't forget that the share price of Sheng'an Group has been hitting the limit down due to the frequent scandals. If you are not afraid that the matter will be delayed, Sheng'an Group will suffer even greater losses, and the Yao family will arouse public anger at the shareholders' meeting, you can do whatever you want."
"Let me remind you that the Yao family only has 20% of the shares in Sheng'an Group now. It is no longer the largest shareholder of Sheng'an Group. On the contrary, if the other shareholders of Sheng'an Group are dissatisfied with the losses caused by the Yao family to Sheng'an Group and hold a shareholders' meeting in anger to elect a new chairman and executive president of the group, no one can guarantee whether your Yao family can still keep the seat on the board of directors at that time." And Tao Mu happened to own 10% of the shares of Sheng'an Group.
Everyone in the Yao family looked at each other. Suddenly I felt a little cautious. Although he looked at Tao Mu with anger, he really didn't dare to make any extra moves.
He had been waiting for an opportunity to embarrass Tao Mu in front of the Yao family - it would be best if Tao Mu was driven out in a miserable state under the coercion of the Yao family, and then he would stand up and speak fair words to Tao Mu. However, because of Tao Mu's various means of responding, the Shen family father and son looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and once again realized the young Mr. Tao's youthful vigor and sharpness.
Father Shen sighed, stood up and said, "Brother Yao, Mr. Tao is right. To avoid complications, it is better for the Yao family not to act rashly."
Yao Wenxiao's father waved his hand with a grim face and sent the bodyguards away. Continue to glare at Tao Mu.
Tao Mu himself didn't care. In his previous life, he was condemned by thousands of people and deserted by his friends and relatives. He had long been accustomed to being treated as an enemy. Even his own parents, brothers and sisters could watch him die, let alone some unrelated outsiders. She has a good mental state. Not to mention that these people just gathered together and stared at him, even if they really rushed over to fight, Tao Mu was not afraid.
The cruel and ruthless lawyer Zhou has encountered such situations many times when helping people with lawsuits. He even experienced being blocked in an underground garage and threatened with a knife at his neck. That didn't make him give up his professional ethics and conduct of winning the lawsuit and enjoying huge profits. Needless to say, the eye attacks from the Yao family were just like a drizzle.
Both of them sat calmly in the spacious, bright and luxuriously decorated living room of the Yao family's main residence, waiting for Yao Shengan to take out the Song family recipe.
Shen Yu, who had just stood by Tao Mu's side and spoke for him, came up awkwardly and asked, "Mumu, do you really want Grandpa Yao to go to the capital and kowtow to apologize?"
"Grandpa Yao is so old. Even if he has done something wrong in the past and let the Song family down, Grandpa Yao has already promised to give 20% of the shares of Sheng'an Group to the Song family. He also promised to return the recipes. Can't you let Grandpa Yao go? Do you have to humiliate an old man?"
Tao Mu sneered and tilted his head to look at Shen Yu. After looking Shen Yu over and feeling guilty, he asked, "What position do you have to say this to me?"
Shen Yu was about to speak when he heard Tao Mu continue, "Yao Sheng'an was just an abandoned baby on the roadside. He was picked up by the old man of the Song family and raised and taught him cooking. In terms of affection, the old man Song can be regarded as Yao Sheng'an's adoptive father. In your eyes, this grace of saving his life, raising him, and teaching him is not worth it for Yao Sheng'an to kowtow and burn incense in front of the old man's grave; in terms of reason, Yao Sheng'an caused the Song family to be destroyed for the recipe, and several lives were lost. Such a blood debt is not worth Yao Sheng'an kowtowing in front of the Song family grave to make amends?"
"I'm talking to you about kindness, reason, and human life. You told me that for the sake of Yao Sheng'an and the Yao family's face, he shouldn't be allowed to go to the capital to kowtow and apologize." Tao Mu stared at Shen Yu with burning eyes, then looked at the Yao family, expressionless: "Where's the face?"
"Do you think that 20% of the shares of Sheng'an Group can repay the Song family for raising Yao Sheng'an, and repay the blood debt of Yao Sheng'an for destroying the Song family?"
"Don't mention how much the 20% stake in Sheng'an Group is worth now. Don't mention that the recipe originally belonged to the Song family, but it was occupied by Yao Sheng'an for many years." Tao Mu stood up, looked at Yao Sheng'an who appeared on the second floor stairs, and said grimly: "If I, Tao Mu, destroy your Yao family today. Thirty years later, I will pay a few hundred million in exchange for a few lives of your Yao family, in exchange for my peace of mind. Will you, Yao Sheng'an, do it?"
