“Okay, no problem. I want to get back what I’m owed. I’ll put this money in Gu Haijian’s company. I believe he’ll be very willing to cooperate with me.”
Upon hearing Liu Shang's words, Lu Fan remained unfazed. He had already anticipated this and knew that Liu Shang would say the same thing. Therefore, he did not continue to ask for shares and instead addressed Liu Shang.
When Lu Fan mentioned Gu Hai's name, Liu Shang's shoulders trembled. He then looked up into Lu Fan's eyes and realized that Lu Fan was not joking.
The Fang family head and Dongfang Shuo had also learned about Shanggong Group. Last time, they competed with Dongfang Investment for a project and had already thoroughly investigated Liu Shang's background and also understood Gu Hai.
However, they did not expect that Lu Fan was so meticulous. Just as Lu Fan said, Gu Hai would definitely not let this opportunity pass, and Liu Shang would face endless trouble.
This was meant to force Liu Shang to agree.
They can't interfere in this kind of thing anymore.
It's up to Liu Shang to decide what to do; they've already done everything they had to do.
“I really can’t come up with 50 percent of the shares. The funds you invested have all been used for the company’s construction, so I can’t come up with the funds either. Please let me off the hook, Mr. Lu. If you have any other conditions, please feel free to ask.”
Liu Shang could not agree to either of Lu Fan's conditions. He didn't have the 50% he was entitled to, and while he did have the funds for the latter, he knew that Lu Fan was a man of his word and would definitely take the money to Gu Hai.
She wouldn't let Lu Fan do that either, but seeing Lu Fan's expression, she lowered her head and said to him.
"Alright, I won't force you. I'll take my secretary and finance staff to your Shanggong Group the day after tomorrow, and we can discuss it in detail then."
Lu Fan had other conditions, but since they were currently at the Dongfang family residence, and the Jiang Group and Dongfang Investment were still in competition, he told Liu Shang that it was best not to reveal his own affairs.
"I haven't been home for a long time. I finished dealing with things over there today and came straight here. I'll be leaving now."
After speaking to Liu Shang, Lu Fan addressed the bewildered Dongfang Shuo and the head of the Dongfang family.
"Okay, go see President Lu off."
When the head of the Dongfang family heard that Lu Fan was leaving, he did not stop him and let Dongfang Shuo take Lu Fan out.
After Lu Fan and Dongfang Shuo left, Liu Shang slumped into a chair, his back soaked with sweat.
“President Lu, all of this was arranged by my father. Just before you arrived, I saw Liu Shang arrive. I thought you wouldn’t come so early and that you wouldn’t meet today. I was thinking of waiting to find out Liu Shang’s background before telling you. But you suddenly arrived, and my father immediately asked me to take you there. It was at that moment that I realized what my father wanted to do.”
As Dongfang Shuo saw Lu Fan off, he felt embarrassed as they walked away.
Lu Fan treated him like a brother, but he had made Lu Fan do things he didn't like. Feeling somewhat guilty, he told Lu Fan what had happened.
"You've already said we're brothers, so if you keep saying things like that, you're being too formal with me. I'm leaving now. If you need anything, just call me!"
After listening to Dongfang Shuo's explanation, Lu Fan patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile. Then he got into the car and left the Dongfang family's castle.
"Although this matter is not completely resolved, it has at least eased up. I will keep all the promises I made."
Sitting on the sofa, Liu Shang took a sip of water. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that the head of the Dongfang family was looking at him. Knowing what the old fox was thinking, he spoke to the head of the Dongfang family.
"Good, Mr. Liu really keeps his word. He will definitely achieve great things in the future."
Hearing that Liu Shang would not change his previous conditions, the head of the Dongfang family breathed a sigh of relief. These conditions were like a timely help for their Dongfang Group, which desperately needed to reach a deal with Liu Shang. Hearing that Liu Shang would not change his mind, he smiled and praised Liu Shang.
He had been watching Liu Shang without saying a word, wanting to see Liu Shang's attitude. After all, he had only invited Lu Fan over and hadn't done anything useful, and Lu Fan wasn't afraid of the Dongfang family's strength.
"Since Lu Fan has already left, I won't bother you any longer."
Liu Shang drank a few sips of water, stood up, and said to the head of the Dongfang family.
"Butler, escort Mr. Liu out through the other exit."
Seeing that Liu Shang was also leaving, he quickly instructed the butler at the door. This was a special arrangement by the head of the Dongfang family. After all, Lu Fan and Liu Shang had not completely reconciled. If they were to have another conflict at the door, then today would be a wasted day. So he had no choice but to let the two leave separately.
"You're so thoughtful, thank you so much!"
Liu Shang, who was originally involved in the underworld, clasped his hands in greeting upon hearing Dongfang Shuo's arrangement.
After finishing his conversation, Dongfang Shuo left the castle with the butler. After seeing Lu Fan back, he saw Liu Shang and was about to leave. The two met briefly, and Liu Shang, seeing that it was Dongfang Shuo, smiled and wanted to say a few words to him.
"Father, I've already seen President Lu off!"
But Dongfang Shuo didn't even glance at Liu Shang, and strode inside, loudly addressing his father.
Liu Shang sneered and followed the butler away.
"Lu Fan didn't doubt what you said, did he?"
The head of the Dongfang family sat upright on the sofa and asked Dongfang Shuo, who was standing respectfully beside him...
"Father, you can rest assured. He didn't doubt my words at all. Lu Fan even thought I was his friend."
