Chapter 85 Wu Jun's expression unconsciously...
Wu Jun's expression softened unconsciously, and he replied, "Duanhe, please sit down."
Liu Duanhe smiled and sat gracefully on the sofa opposite them.
Wu Xiufeng and Wu Jun exchanged a glance, and Wu Jun continued, "We came here today, firstly to see you. After all, it's been many years since we last met, and we had to see you when we came to Beijing."
Liu Duanhe picked up the teapot and filled the half-empty teacups in front of them.
She said apologetically, "You are my elder, it should be me who goes to Hong Kong to see you."
Wu Jun wouldn't take these polite words seriously, no matter how sincerely Liu Duanhe spoke.
To get straight to the point, "Secondly, it's about you and your mother."
She paused for a moment, observing Liu Duanhe's reaction.
Liu Duanhe's expression remained unchanged.
Wu Jun breathed a sigh of relief, but also perked up. Seeing that he wasn't surprised at all, he knew Wu Jun had come prepared. Since Wu Jun's expression didn't change and he still wanted to hear them continue, Wu Jun was more confident that he could close the deal.
Liu Duanhe said calmly, "Oh?"
Wu Jun said decisively, "We are family, so I won't beat around the bush with you. As long as you can sign the letter of understanding, I can agree to any conditions on behalf of Wu Xiuying."
Wu Xiufeng stared at Wu Jun in shock. Shouldn't negotiations involve gradually probing each other's bottom lines? What if Liu Duan and Wu Jun demand an exorbitant price by throwing out their bottom lines all at once?
However, Wu Jun had accumulated considerable influence over the years, so Wu Xiufeng held back.
Wu Xiushi couldn't resist and grabbed Wu Jun's sleeve.
Wu Jun shook her off without changing his expression and continued, "Xiao He, just tell me your conditions."
Liu Duanhe ignored their subtle maneuvering, but he was surprised by Wu Jun's generosity. Was he really going to let him make any demands?
However, Liu Duanhe knew Wu Xiuying's temperament very well. If he were too greedy, his mother would probably rather stay in there for a few more years than let him get away with it.
So he didn't push his luck, sticking to Wu Xiuying's bottom line, and said, "I want all the shares of Tianhe Group and Daxing Group held by my mother."
Over the years, Wu Xiuying's sporadic investments and foundations have all been beneath Liu Duanhe's notice. Compared to the shares in the two groups, they are but a drop in the ocean. For the sake of maximizing profits and prestige, Liu Duanhe only intends to take these.
Wu Xiufeng was also taken aback by Liu Duanhe's appetite and exclaimed, "What?"
Liu Duanhe looked over with a smile, "Is this a lot? Compared to Mother herself, it's nothing."
Wu Jun's expression darkened, and she glared at him, "What are you interrupting for? It's not like you're the one paying for it."
Wu Xiufeng swallowed his words. He could accept Tianhe Group, but it was a large corporation belonging to the Wu family, and it was very upsetting for it to fall into Liu Duanhe's hands.
No matter how much infighting there is within the Wu family, Wu Xiuying is still surnamed Wu. Liu Duanhe, on the other hand, has not been in contact with her for many years and is no different from an outsider.
Wu Jun pondered for a while, and Liu Duanhe was not in a hurry either, leisurely picking up his cup to drink tea.
Wu Xiufeng and Wu Xiushi were also hesitant and struggling, wanting to discuss it with Liu Duanhe again, but worried that he would change his mind.
After a while, Wu Jun weighed the consequences and nodded, saying, "I agree on behalf of Wu Xiuying. I will tell her that a lawyer will handle this matter soon."
Liu Duanhe remained calm, saying, "Alright, as long as the share transfer is successful, I will sign the settlement agreement immediately."
After learning that Wu Xiuying and Liu Rumeng had targeted him, Liu Duanhe no longer cared about them. After these days of reflection, they were just strangers to him, and strangers with whom he had a grudge.
However, if the benefits are sufficient, it might be acceptable to let them go. Even if Liu Duanhe signs a letter of understanding, the two of them will still go to prison, and once they are released, they will pose no threat to him whatsoever.
Liu Duanhe still prefers benefits that he can obtain.
After the matter was settled, they did not stay long. Liu Duanhe made a token effort to persuade them to stay, and as the host, invited them to stay at his resort.
However, they all refused.
Liu Duanhe politely saw them to the door, but the group told him not to see them any further.
After getting on the bus, the group was alone, and Wu Xiufeng and Wu Xiushi hesitated to speak.
Wu Jun glanced at him and sneered, "Do you think I'm getting senile because I'm getting old?"
She explained calmly, "It's better not to play tricks on someone like Liu Duanhe. Wu Xiuying is his biological mother. Regardless of their relationship, Liu Duanhe must know more or less about Wu Xiuying's background. As long as he wants to negotiate, he won't offer a price that we can't accept."
"Besides, isn't this the result we can accept? No, it should be the result Wu Xiuying can accept. We've cleaned up her mess and gone this far, that's enough. What else do you want to negotiate? What do you have to offer? Our Wu family's roots are in Hong Kong, we can't cause trouble for the Liu family in Beijing."
The two then gave up their idea.
The reason the two of them worked so hard was not because they were truly in sync with Wu Xiuying or because they had such a close relationship that they could empathize with each other.
Instead, it was the payment Wu Xiuying made for them to act as intermediaries, and the amount was calculated based on the outcome of their negotiations.
However, after hearing Wu Jun's words, they gave up the idea of ​​discussing things with Liu Duanhe again.
After seeing them off, Liu Duanhe officially went off work.
It was easy to talk to Liu Rumeng; she readily agreed the following afternoon.
Although he looked unwell, Liu Duanhe was in a very good mood.
After the conversation, Liu Rumeng, who was bleeding heavily, turned and left. Liu Duanhe smiled and said, "Goodbye, Dad."
Liu Rumeng was furious, but she felt a little relieved. With the letter of forgiveness, the sentence would definitely be lighter, and with the reduction of her sentence while in prison, she wouldn't have to suffer until she died inside.
After Secretary Zhang saw Liu Rumeng off, Liu Duanhe finished his work for the day and planned to go downstairs to take a car to Dr. Song's place.
As soon as he arrived at the underground parking lot, he saw a familiar person walking towards him.
Liu Duanhe greeted him and strolled towards him leisurely. "Guandu, what brings you here all of a sudden?"
His previous promise to Guan Du was certainly true; he would definitely help if he could.
Guan Du hadn't expected Liu Duanhe to leave so early today, even though it wasn't time to get off work yet. If he had been even a little late, he probably would have missed him.
He chuckled and explained, "You've probably been too busy lately to know about Du Lanting's return to China. We all grew up together, so of course we should arrange a get-together when he comes back."
Then, curiously, she asked, "Where are you going now? This is the first time I've seen you leave early."
Liu Duanhe asked, "I'm going for psychological therapy. Where and when will the gathering take place?"
Since Guan Du was the organizer, Liu Duanhe still had to give him face.
Guan Du hadn't expected Liu Duanhe to need psychological treatment, and very few people knew about it. Surprised, he quickly asked, "Is it serious?"
Although most people don't pay attention to it, mental illness is not a minor ailment.
Liu Duanhe shook his head and said gently, "It's a small problem. Just send me the time and place. You don't need to make this trip. I will definitely give you face."
Guan Du didn't presume to understand. The last time he met Liu Duanhe, he could tell that Liu Duanhe and Feng Xingyun were very much in love. He should avoid making a fool of himself and wait for an opportunity.
To be on the safe side, Guan Du sent the location and time to Liu Duanhe.
"Okay, just come at six o'clock tomorrow night. You can pass on my message and I won't disturb your schedule."
Guan Du waved casually, turned around, got into the car, and drove off again, the car still warm from the heat.
Liu Duanhe also waved his hand, and only after seeing that his car had disappeared from sight did he get in and drive away.
As he drove, he pondered that Du Lanting had actually returned to China, which was indeed a variable.
Du Lanting is not in power yet, but he will definitely join the family company when he returns this time.
Liu Duanhe had to think about what benefits he could gain from this. If he was a venomous snake that wouldn't let go, then Du Lanting was undoubtedly a hungry wolf.
His methods were far more ruthless and shameless than Liu Duanhe's, and he had no sense of martial ethics whatsoever.
Is the lake in Beijing, which has been calm for so long, about to be stirred up?
Liu Duanhe dislikes the feeling of being out of control, but he also enjoys adventure.
After a long time, Liu Duanhe felt excited.
He's been in a good state of mind lately, and the effects of this treatment have been quite good as a result.
He emerged from the clinic looking relaxed and tall. His slender figure made him appear slim in clothes but muscular when undressed, and you could tell he was a handsome man just by looking at his back.
Liu Duanhe wasn't in a hurry to go home. Seeing that it was still early, he decided to stroll around the roadside.
There was a commercial area not far away, and he picked and chose to buy a lot of things, which he then gave to the people around him.
Liu Duanhe walked around until it got dark before driving home.
Surrounded by neon lights and gazing at the towering buildings ahead, Liu Duanhe no longer felt the oppressive mood of the past, only the vast and open expanse of the sky.
Although there was traffic congestion along the way, fortunately the clinic was not far from my residence near the company, so the traffic jam didn't last too long.
He sent a message to his aunt before he left, and by now the meal was almost ready.
However, when he went upstairs and opened the door, he found it was completely dark. Liu Duanhe was first surprised, and then became wary.
He remained still and moved quietly, intending to back out.
A series of thoughts flashed through my mind: Had the aunt left? Could there be a thief? But how could a thief get in from such a high floor? Or was the light broken?
Although Liu Duanhe lives a secluded life, he has been kidnapped several times since childhood because of his enormous wealth. Now, without bodyguards by his side, his vigilance is at its highest.
Just then, the lights inside the room suddenly came on.
Feng Xingyun walked out from inside.
Liu Duanhe suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, "You scared me to death."
Feng Xingyun sighed, "You didn't come back so late, it gave me quite a fright."
After regaining her senses, Liu Duanhe smiled and said, "You didn't even tell me you were coming."
The feeling of having someone at home was quite unfamiliar, but it felt rather good. Liu Duanhe didn't say it, but eating alone in the cold and quiet was always a bit lonely.
Since they weren't really lovers before, Liu Duanhe also harbored some feelings for them.
Now it's completely different, and Liu Duanhe has also changed his mindset.
After turning on the light, Feng Xingyun went to the kitchen and brought out all the dishes that his aunt had prepared. When he arrived, his aunt hadn't started cooking yet, so he made a few dishes himself.
Feng Xingyun is keeping warm, wondering when Liu Duanhe will return.
Seeing this, Liu Duanhe felt a little annoyed, "I should have come back earlier today."
He placed the gifts he was carrying on the bar counter on the other side.
