"I'm giving you this money on conditions."
Seeing Lu Xi's happy expression, Lu Fan abruptly interrupted.
"What are the conditions?"
Lu Xi, who was celebrating, stopped her joy upon hearing Lu Fan's words and looked at him to ask.
"Since I'm the one investing all this money, that means I'm the largest shareholder, and you're just responsible for managing it for me, right?"
Lu Fan, who never suffers a loss in business, certainly wouldn't give Lu Xi a large sum of money for nothing.
So he presented his conditions to Lu Xi.
"You're right, but don't go too far. You want me to continue working for you?"
Upon hearing Lu Fan's shameless condition, Lu Xi immediately refused.
She came up with this plan because she didn't want to work under Lu Fan.
I just want to start my own company, to have the feeling of being in control of everything.
“Look at your temper, you’re like this even at home. How could I possibly let you run a company on your own?”
Lu Fan had only just stated one condition when Lu Xi started to get angry.
So he shook his head and said to Lu Xi.
Seeing Lu Fan like this, Lu Xi also turned her gaze to Jiang Manyue.
However, Jiang Manyue didn't want to get involved in this matter at all. Jiang Manyue also knew that he was, after all, her sister-in-law.
These are matters between the siblings, and it's not really appropriate to interfere.
He reached out and picked up the proposal on the table to read it.
"Okay, I won't get angry. I'll talk to you properly. It's impossible for you to have me work for you. Don't even think about it."
Lu Xi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her sister-in-law had also fallen silent.
She calmly sat back on the sofa and faced Lu Fan, stating her bottom line.
"So what do you want? Tell me the conditions that can persuade me to invest."
Seeing that his younger sister was determined, Lu Fan threw the problem back to Lu Xi.
"Uh..."
Lu Xi was also stumped by this question, which required her to hand over all her shares and only act as a manager.
This was clearly not what he had in mind, if he had only given a little to Lu Fan.
Given her brother's taste, he certainly wouldn't like it either, and a stalemate ensued.
Have you thought it through?
Seeing his sister's conflicted expression, Lu Fan impatiently urged her on.
In truth, Lu Fan didn't want to do this at all, but for the sake of his younger sister's growth, he had to play the villain himself.
He made himself the first stumbling block on her entrepreneurial path.
"I'm going to make a phone call."
Lu Xi was also a little undecided, while Lu Fan kept urging her on.
Having exhausted all other options, Lu Xi said something to Lu Fan, picked up the phone, and walked outside.
"Tell me, aren't you going a bit too far?"
After seeing that Lu Xi had completely walked out, Jiang Manyue raised her head and said to Lu Fan.
"This is nothing. Things in society are much crueler than this, as you know. How can you blame me for putting family members first?"
When Lu Fan heard Jiang Manyue's reproach, he shrugged and gave her his opinion.
"Well, to be fair, this proposal is very well written."
Jiang Manyue never objected to Lu Fan's decisions.
Besides, Lu Fan did not do anything wrong. He then closed the proposal and said to Lu Fan.
"Not bad. I thought you'd been pregnant for so long that you wouldn't understand these things anymore. The person who wrote this is talented. This person should also be behind Lu Xi. I'd really like to see him."
Lu Fan nodded and said to Jiang Manyue.
"It's really rare for you to say that this person is good. In your Jiang Group, apart from your secretary Ge, no one else has this honor."
Jiang Manyue was surprised to hear Lu Fan's praise and recalled what she had said to Lu Fan before.
“There are many in the company, but this person is better than all of them.”
Lu Fan did not refute it, believing that this talented person would also provide Lu Xi with the correct path.
"You're back. How did your discussion with the strategist behind you go?"
Seeing that Lu Xi had returned, Lu Fan and Jiang Manyue also stopped talking.
Everyone looked at Lu Xi, and Lu Fan asked her a question.
"You will receive 49% of the company's shares, and I will hold 51%. We'll discuss profit sharing and other details once the contract is drafted."
Looking at Lu Fan's landlord-like face, Lu Xi reluctantly stated her conditions.
After hearing the conditions Lu Xi offered, Lu Fan was a little surprised. He had thought his stingy sister was a real character.
Taking out more than 20% is the limit. He glanced at Jiang Manyue.
Jiang Manyue noticed that Lu Fan was looking at her, so she nodded without Lu Xi noticing.
This condition is already Lu Xi's limit.
There's no need to push your luck any further.
"Alright, let's do it this way. When the time comes, have your strategist come over too. I want to know who's been advising my sister. Once the contract is finalized and we've all signed it, you can take the money."
Lu Fan pretended to be embarrassed and nodded to Lu Xi, then said to Lu Xi, "Cold."
"Alright, I'll take this money in less than three days. Don't let your Jiang Group be unable to come up with it then."
Seeing Lu Fan still pretending, Lu Xi said to him, still unconvinced.
