Chapter 826 Going to Negotiate
But if the problem can't be resolved, then the father and daughter will have to return to the United States ahead of schedule to convene a board meeting.
The question of which is more important or less important rests entirely on Bo Jinyan's mind.
"Go."
Just as Lu Nanchu was about to turn and leave, Xu Chen, who had been pleading with Lu Jinan with his eyes lowered, suddenly grabbed her skirt and wouldn't let go: "Nanchu, please don't do this to me, I really know I was wrong..."
If he had known that selling the New York house would end up like this, he would never have done it!
Unfortunately, it's too late for him to regret it now.
"You know you were wrong now? When you wanted to sell our New York apartment to raise money for Wen Qingyi's release, why didn't you know you were wrong then?" Lu Nanchu snorted coldly, displeased, "Get out of my way!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Nanchu broke free from his grasp and prepared to leave.
"Wait! Nan Chu! What did you mean when you said he wanted to sell your New York apartment for Wen Qingyi?" Lu Jinan noticed her wording and narrowed his eyes: "Can you explain yourself clearly?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Nanchu stopped in her tracks, but did not turn around: "Dad, it would be better if you waited until I returned from Qinyuan Bay to clarify this matter. Right now, the most important thing is to get back the shares that have been transferred out of our bank! Isn't that right?"
In her eyes, nothing is more important now than the outflow of equity.
Lu Jinan didn't say anything and let her leave.
...
Evening, Qinyuan Bay.
Sang Ruo had just picked up her two children from school when A Cheng came to report: "Madam, there is a Miss Lu outside who wants to see you and Young Master Bo. Do you want to see her?"
Miss Lu?
Upon hearing this address, Sang Ruo knew who it was: "Let her in."
As she spoke, she went upstairs to call Bo Jinyan. When she entered the study, she found him just finished his work: "Xiao Ruo, why did you come up? I just finished."
“Lu Nanchu came to see you.” Sang Ruo was surprised that she came so quickly: “You only signed the loan agreement a few days ago, and she already knows about it.”
And the fact that she arrived so quickly suggests that Lu Jinan sent her.
After all, Lu Nanchu has been discharged from the hospital and should resume her work. She can no longer devote so much time to personal relationships.
Upon hearing this, Bo Jinyan smiled faintly, as if he had expected it: "It's normal. After all, Lu's Bank's shares are not easily transferred to outsiders, but Xu Chen sold them off so easily at a low price. How could their family not be anxious?"
"Let's go, let's go meet her and see how she's going to take back these shares today!"
With that, Bo Jinyan picked up a document from the table, then took Sang Ruo's hand and went downstairs.
Lu Nanchu was already sitting on the sofa in the living room waiting for them. In front of her was a pot of brewed English black tea. Judging from the position of the cup, she hadn't drunk a drop and was just waiting for them to come down.
Noticing this detail, Bo Jinyan spoke first: "Nan Chu, I thought that given your physical condition, you should rest for a while before returning to work. I didn't expect you to come so soon?"
"Cousin." Upon hearing this, Lu Nanchu stood up to greet him, "Excuse me, I'm here today representing my father's wishes. He wants to take back the shares that Xu Chen previously sold off at a low price. Is it possible to do so?"
In business, both men were respectable and never mentioned the previous favors and help they had received.
After all, it was Xu Chen who started this whole thing.
Lu Nanchu knew that, given Bo Jinyan and Sang Ruo's personalities, the fact that they allowed her to come in was already out of consideration for their past relationship.
Bo Jinyan knew she had come for this reason. He didn't say whether he could take it back or not, but simply said, "Nan Chu, please sit down."
Lu Nanchu then sat down again, holding the teacup in her hand as a hand warmer, her expression clearly showing some restraint.
“Nan Chu, this is between Xu Chen and me, you don’t need to be so reserved.” Bo Jinyan seemed to see her restraint, and his thin lips curled into a very faint smile: “After all, Xu Chen owes me eight million. If he weren’t my cousin, why would I be so nosy?”
Since he had promised Lu Jinan that he would no longer concern himself with her affairs after she was discharged from the hospital, he had to keep his promise.
But this time, Xu Chen took the initiative to come to him.
You can't blame him.
"Xu Chen owes you eight million?" Lu Nanchu was almost stunned the moment she heard the amount: "Cousin, do you have a loan agreement? Can you show me the loan agreement you signed with him?"
If there isn't even a loan agreement, then things will be difficult.
"Of course there is."
As he spoke, Bo Jinyan handed her the documents he had just brought down: "This is the loan agreement that Xu Chen signed with me a few days ago. Take a look. It clearly states Xu Chen's name and stipulates that in addition to the principal of five million, there will be a total interest of three million, for a total of eight million."
"If President Lu really wants to take back the shares of Lu's Bank, shouldn't he first pay back the money Xu Chen owes me before we can talk about the shares?"
Paying back debts is a matter of course.
If Xu Chen hadn't come to him and begged him in tears, he wouldn't have wavered.
Upon hearing this, Lu Nanchu's expression turned somewhat grim after reading the loan agreement, but since Xu Chen was in debt, she couldn't find any fault with it: "Cousin, I will pay back the eight million that Xu Chen owes you."
As she spoke, she opened her shoulder bag, took out the checkbook she had already placed inside, wrote a check for eight million, and then handed it to Bo Jinyan.
"This is a check for eight million. I hope my cousin will accept it."
She addressed him as "cousin" repeatedly, which subtly shortened the distance between them and made them seem much closer and more friendly.
But Bo Jinyan could tell that this was the attitude she should have when she wanted to reclaim the shares of Lu's Bank that were rightfully hers: "I've accepted the check. So, how does Miss Lu intend to acquire the shares of Lu's Bank? You don't intend to buy it away so easily with just eight million, do you? If so, my time and money would be worthless."
His words implied that he wanted more benefits.
Why did Xu Chen have to help Wen Qingyi? This time, if we don't skin the Lu family and Xu Chen alive, how can we justify all the effort we've put into targeting Xu Chen and Wen Qingyi all this time?
He finally got such a good opportunity, he couldn't let Xu Chen go so easily!
"So, cousin, how much do you want?" Lu Nanchu seemed to understand his implication, and her smile was somewhat forced: "Cousin, why don't you name a number and see if our family can accept it?"
