“The original agreement was for my brother to marry Uncle Zhou’s daughter. Everyone knows that his daughter doesn’t like men at all. My brother is abroad and won’t come back. You can’t control him, so you’ve come to control me,” Gong Yanli said. “On Monday, I will have a lawyer draft an agreement to transfer one percent of my shares to you. In addition, I will also give you the Tianhe Hotel in Hong Kong as a way of repaying your kindness in raising me all these years.”
The father and son were separated by a newspaper.
Although they weren't face-to-face, the tension was already palpable.
The atmosphere in the study was quiet for a few seconds. Gong's father tried to compose himself behind the newspaper before putting it down and revealing a somewhat amiable expression: "What's going on? We are father and son, connected by blood. Why are you making such a fuss over a woman?"
At that moment, the study door opened.
He Xiaowen came in carrying a tray, smiling as she said, "This tea was specially brewed for Xiaoli."
After placing the teacup on the table beside her, she said to Mr. Gong, "Father and son, please talk things out. Family members shouldn't quarrel, okay?"
Mr. Gong was most susceptible to He Xiaowen's charms, and nodded, saying, "I understand, you can go downstairs now."
After the door was closed, Gong Yanli said directly, "I have brought enough sincerity to talk to you. If I cannot leave here within ten minutes, then I will withdraw the condition of Tianhe Hotel and replace it with cash worth 1 billion yuan that I have on hand. I will raise the money for you within six months."
Gong's father's face turned ashen, but he still tried his best to remain amicable, saying, "We are father and son, there's no need for this."
"Because we are father and son, I enjoyed the privileges afforded to me by the Gong family from birth. Later, you held eleven percent of the shares in my Shenghe Hospital, and you received a substantial share of the annual dividends. If you had given anything to me, it would have been repaid long ago. I'm paying you more now simply to have some peace and quiet."
Gong Yanli's tone was calm and indifferent.
He had long since lost all affection for his father.
Mr. Gong was still somewhat unwilling, "You know Uncle Zhou's daughter doesn't like men, and you marry her, and then..."
“President Gong, you know very well how you started your business. To be precise, the money I used to grow wasn’t really yours, but now I’m willing to give you money for free in exchange for the rest of my life being undisturbed.” Gong Yanli glanced at his watch. “Eight minutes left. Tianhe Hotel or cash, you choose.”
The Tianhe Hotel that Gong Yanli mentioned was an old hotel he bought in the port area ten years ago. It was demolished a few years ago and a four-star hotel was built in its place. It was in a good location and did good business.
Because of this hotel, Miyanoko also borrowed money from the bank.
He was willing to use this hotel as a bargaining chip, which showed that he had made a very strong decision to break ties with the Gong family.
Gong's father was not well-off at first. He started his business mainly by relying on the wealth and connections of Gong Yanli's mother's family. Later, the business grew bigger and bigger, which led to the current Gong family.
Gong Yanli's words hit his sore spot.
Gong's father stood up and threw the newspaper in his hand at Gong Yanli. "What did you say?! You think you're all grown up now? You had nothing back then. If I hadn't lent you money to take over the hospital, there wouldn't be Shenghe today. You'd be nothing!"
Shenghe was formerly a notorious urology hospital.
When the hospital was shut down and sold at a low price, Gong Yanli, who was still a student, saw the potential in the place and borrowed money from his father to take over the hospital. He developed it step by step, which led to the Shenghe Hospital we know today.
Gong Yanli had already paid off the money he spent on acquiring the hospital, and his father had also earned a considerable amount from the hospital's dividends.
Miyazaki simply took off his watch.
"Five more minutes." After he finished speaking, he simply walked to the sofa in the study and intended to sit down. "Actually, I don't want to give you the hotel either. Let's wait it out. Within ten minutes, I'll lose and you'll gain. After ten minutes, it'll be the other way around. I'm not in a hurry."
Before Gong Yanli could even sit down, the study door was suddenly pushed open a crack.
He Xiaowen stood outside the door, her face full of shrewdness, and asked, "How did the conversation go? I was afraid you two would argue, so I came up to check on you."
