After watching Li Shufang finish speaking like a fool, Li Hongjun smacked his lips, thinking there was nothing more to say to a fool, and looked at the lawyer, asking:
"Um, Attorney Jiang, right? This agreement doesn't seem very professional!"
Attorney Jiang blushed and replied, "Oh! I did it according to Young Master Fang's instructions. That's roughly what he said, so there shouldn't be any discrepancies."
Li Hongjun: "Look at you, you're still unprofessional. Lawyers draft contracts according to the law, not based on other people's assumptions. Do you really think you'd sell your children to buy a wife if someone told you to? Or is your profession just about not doing professional work, being a dog for others, and doing whatever they say?"
The words were spoken in a way that was neither too strong nor too weak, yet extremely difficult to pronounce, leaving Attorney Jiang feeling utterly ashamed and embarrassed.
He was forced into this role and was just going through the motions. He thought to himself, "If you're so capable, go find the person in charge. What's the point of hiring a lawyer?"
"Bang!"
Li Shufang slammed his hand on the table: "Li Hongjun, you've gone too far! Who are you calling a dog? You're an outsider, what right do you have to speak here? Believe me or not, I'll sue you for defamation. Get out!"
"Bang!"
Li Hongjun was furious. These people were like dogs; compared to the Li family of Jiangcheng, they were outsiders, yet they always talked about others.
"Who the hell are you, you little brat? How dare you cause trouble here? Just because you're sitting in the chairman's seat doesn't mean you're in charge. Who the hell knows who you are? You come here begging for food without any proof. Fine, begging for food is one thing, but you're trying to take the pot too! That's outrageous!"
Li Shufang: "You, you... who's begging for food? I'm here to take over the Li Group. No matter what, Li Jianjun made a promise, and what he said is a done deal. You have no right to talk nonsense here."
Li Hongjun: "You're saying I'm not qualified? I've worked at the company for over twenty years. I'm the group's vice chairman, vice president, and the second largest shareholder. Do you think I'm not qualified? You should send your dad here, send your stupid uncle here, and let them tell you whether I'm qualified or not."
Li Shufang: "How dare you! I'll ask you one last question: I'm taking over the Li Group now, and Li Jianjun has agreed to it. Let's see who dares to disagree."
Li Hongjun: "Oh! What makes you think you can? What proof do you have? Even if we talk about tomorrow, I'm telling you right now, I don't agree!"
Li Shufang: "You disagree? What gives you the right? Even if you disagree now, I'll make you agree. Who else disagrees?"
.
Li Shufang stared at the room full of people, revealing the ugly face of a privileged young master. Seeing that no one spoke up, he assumed that everyone except Li Hongjun had agreed. Everyone present had some shares, and no one was going to give them away for free; they just didn't want to step forward.
Seeing Li Mu slumped in a chair by the door, his eyes darting around, amusing himself by tossing and catching a coin, the officer directly called out:
"Li Mu, if you agree to sign, I'll give you a seat on the board of directors, the kind with a salary. What do you say, do you agree or not?"
Li Mu was watching a show when he was mistaken for an idiot and called out by name.
"Oh! You're talking to me?..." Li Mu said half a sentence, then opened his mouth and smacked it without making a sound, seemingly saying a lot more.
Li Shufang: "What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly. Say it again."
Li Mu: "I don't care..."
Seeing Li Mu smacking his lips without making a sound, the people closest to him burst out laughing.
When Li Shufang heard the words "it doesn't matter," he was secretly pleased, thinking that he hadn't heard what was said next.
So he got up and beckoned Li Mu to go ahead. He thought to himself, "This is promising. As long as Li Mu signs, Li Hongjun will have to agree whether he likes it or not. As for anyone else who disagrees, I'll just use whatever means necessary."
Li Shufang: "Li Mu, come here and tell me whether you agree or not."
Li Muzhen, looking rather dazed, got up and walked inside. He patted Li Shufang on the shoulder, sat down in the chairman's chair, and said:
"Hey you? Whether this company has it or not, I don't care. Whoever wants it can have it. I... Hey, your outfit is nice. How much did you pay for it? Come on, I have some money here. I'll buy it. Take it off now."
Standing next to Li Mu, Uncle Li was a little confused, holding a one-yuan coin in his hand, completely bewildered. "We were just talking about company matters, why are you eyeing my clothes now?"
After pausing for a moment, she thought about what Li Mu had said, which seemed incoherent. She thought to herself, "He was right. This guy is a complete spendthrift, good-for-nothing, only knowing how to eat, drink, and enjoy himself."
Li Shufang: "Uh... Li Mu, stop fooling around. Let's talk about company matters first. As long as you sign, I'll buy you a hundred sets of these clothes."
Li Mu: "Really, as long as I..."
Li Hongjun: "Xiao Mu, stop fooling around, we're at the company..."
Seeing Li Mu blink, Li Hongjun shut up.
.
Li Shufang took the contract and coaxed Li Mu, saying, "Come on, Li Mu, sign it first. After you sign, I'll buy you a hundred sets of clothes."
Li Mu picked up the pen, was about to sign it, but then put it down again.
This left Li Hongjun and Li Shufang feeling extremely anxious.
"You said it! You buy me a hundred sets of clothes. If you dare not buy them, I'll break your legs. There are so many of you here to witness this."
Li Shufang, as if coaxing a child, said, "Okay, I promise to buy you a hundred sets of clothes. If you don't, you can break my legs."
Li Mu picked up his pen again, touched the paper with the nib, then put it down and said:
"There's no benefit to be gained, so I won't sign. Such a big company is worth it... Let me do the math, it's worth at least ten million."
Li Hongjun yelled, "Li Mu, you idiot, don't sign! What do you know? This company is worth at least..."
When Li Shufang heard Li Hongjun scolding Li Mu, he became anxious and decided to spend some money to get the kid to sign the document.
It's only ten million. Compared to a company worth tens of billions, it's nothing. Besides, whether they'll even give it to us after we sign is another matter.
"Okay, brother, as long as you sign, I'll give you ten million right away, plus a hundred sets of clothes. I mean what I say."
"That's more like it. It's a deal, you're going to give me ten million and buy me a hundred outfits later!"
Li Mu repeated Li Shufang's words with a simple-minded expression, only omitting the crucial signature. He picked up the pen again, then threw it directly on the ground.
"Hey! You think I'm stupid? You want me to sign something without the money? No way. Unless you give me the money first, I'm out of pocket money and I need it right now."
Li Shufang was losing patience with Li Mu's constant nagging, and he was utterly exasperated. Why was this final push so difficult?
"Li Mu, you can't sign! You can't sign it even if they pay you! The company is worth..."
Li Hongjun now truly understands that this kid is setting a trap, so he quickly adds fuel to the fire.
