Chapter 137 is a must-have.
Seeing the hint of unease in the girl's expression, Madam Jiang couldn't help but ask, "Are you worried that he won't be successful in his negotiation?"
Tu Yao hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "A little."
Although the other party is eager to get rid of the deal, 200,000 is still a bit outrageous, and it's not impossible for them to change their mind at the last minute.
The old lady suppressed a smile and reassured him, "Don't worry, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he should be able to negotiate a price that will satisfy you very much."
Mr. Xu of Gangcheng has never made a mistake so far.
A look of inner conflict flashed in Tu Yao's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.
He silently shook his head.
"...It's okay, I'm satisfied with whatever outcome he achieves. It doesn't matter if the other party changes their mind and the deal falls through."
Madam Jiang was slightly taken aback: "But from your description just now, these shares are very important to you and your brother."
Tu Yao silently took a sip of lemonade: "Xiao Chi is willing to help me because he considers me a friend. If I expect too much, it will only put pressure on him."
"If it really doesn't work, I'll just think of another way."
Upon hearing this, Madam Jiang fell silent for a long time, but her aged eyes visibly brightened.
She could probably understand why that person was so protective of their own, even to the point of seemingly "losing their mind" and being unable to tolerate anyone questioning the girl in front of them.
When she receives kindness from others, she will reciprocate with double or even multiple times the trust.
Such a child... I'm really envious.
housekeeper:……
The butler had served Madam Jiang her entire life, and he could understand what the old lady wanted to do with just a glance.
The next second, Madam Jiang smoothed her hair and said casually:
"By the way, you just mentioned that you're planning to buy 31% of the shares, that's great."
"However, it seems you haven't solved the most crucial problem yet. Lin Qiuping still owns 30% of the shares and is a director of the company, so he has management rights."
Tu Yao silently straightened her back.
For some reason, the old lady in front of her seemed to really enjoy testing her.
Every time she faced this old woman, she felt like she was being judged, like she was about to be arrested at any moment...
Tu Yao snapped out of her daze and said seriously, "I've investigated. He has committed serious misconduct. I can convene a shareholders' meeting to remove him from the shareholder list."
Madam Jiang paused, her hand still holding the teacup. The loophole was hard to find; the young girl wasn't easily fooled.
After a while, she continued, "There's still a little bit left."
“Currently, this small company is basically not very valuable. The staff is demoralized, the management is poor, and it could go bankrupt at any time. It will be difficult for you to make a profit from it.”
Tu Yao successfully fell silent.
After a while, he said softly, "I've thought about that too. I understand that the most important thing is to stabilize people's morale. I still have some popularity online, so I can tell everyone that this company has changed management."
"My brother and Brother Lin Jing are negotiating a few more deals. We're starting small, it's just a little slow, it's okay."
Madam Jiang raised her eyebrows slightly, a hint of a smile crossing her face.
Gotcha!
The old lady put down her cup, straightened her chest, and pointed out precisely:
"Although I've only met you a few times, I know you're a pragmatic and clear-headed person. You understand that fame and popularity are no different from a fleeting shooting star."
"So even if you are very popular online, you don't make a big deal out of it."
The only time was to promote Lin Yue and Lin Jing.
"So this is actually your worst strategy, am I right?"
Tu Yao silently looked away.
Now, Madam Jiang made no attempt to hide her smile and continued her attack:
"Just as you grasped that the key to the stock devaluation was Lin Qiuping, you should also know that the reason Lin Qiuping is at risk is because he offended me."
"Your inferior strategy is indeed useful, but it's not the core issue."
"And the best way is actually to let everyone see that this company and the Chiang family have made peace, right?"
Tu Yao glanced across at the old lady, who finished speaking and laughed like a smug, mischievous child.
She deflated, scratching her head: "...What exactly do you want?"
The old lady looked at her with a smile: "I want to help you."
Tu Yao pursed her lips: "Then what do you want me to do?"
Madam Jiang smiled even more happily; talking to a clever child was indeed effortless.
"...I want you to stay with me for two days."
Tu Yao was taken aback: ?
Before Madam Jiang could continue speaking, a calm and clear voice rang out from above.
"Grandma, are you trying to take my child away from me?"
Tu Yao looked up instantly: "Xiao Chi!"
Xu Chi left empty-handed, but returned with a thick document in his hand.
Tu Yao suddenly became a little nervous, "Did it work...?"
Xu Chi turned around and pushed the contract over.
Contracts signed in his name can be handed over at any time.
The young man softened his expression, the last trace of sharpness in his eyes, and sat down beside her, saying directly:
"120,000."
As soon as she finished speaking, Tu Yao's eyes widened suddenly.
"Koike, how did you do that...?"
120,000... is this some kind of attempt to sever the enemy's major artery?
Xu Chi seemed to recall something: "...I almost forgot too. I talked according to the script you gave me."
Tu Yao looked at him suspiciously: "Impossible, I don't have that ability yet."
She took a deep breath and murmured, "So you're the one most suited to be a bandit..."
The young man's eyes immediately filled with a smile.
That's good; he likes the title.
Tu Yao quickly took out her phone, gestured to Madam Jiang, and then ran to the side to share the good news with Lin Yue and Lin Jing.
A sudden silence fell over the dining table.
Madam Jiang raised her eyes with an ambiguous expression: "To negotiate this price in such a short time, Chairman Xu is quite capable."
"But you've arrived a bit early."
Xu Chi said calmly, "If you don't come soon, I'm afraid you'll kidnap her."
"So what if I kidnapped it? It's not like I'm not going to return it."
Xu Chi's gaze turned scrutinizing: "Are you sure you'll pay it back?"
Madam Jiang: ...
Xu Chi smiled slightly and stood up: "Don't worry about the people. As for how many potential crises this company is facing, don't worry about it. I'll take care of it."
"Please... do as you please."
In just a few words, the old lady was seething with anger: "How can this child be so infuriating, treating me like I'm a wolf!"
"Liqing, do I have 'human trafficker' written all over my face?"
The butler's expression was complicated, and he silently lowered his eyes.
Madam Jiang put on her silver-chain glasses and said with a serious expression, "You won't let me take it, but I'll take it anyway!"
"Liqing, keep an eye on them. If they don't let me help, I'll find an opportunity to help them on my own!"
housekeeper:……
You're determined to snatch this child, aren't you?
...
On the other hand, Tu Yao immediately sent the contract back.
Lin Yue and Lin Jing stared at the contract in disbelief: "It really is 100,000... 120,000? Tu Xiaomao, you..."
Tu Yao waved her hands repeatedly: "It has nothing to do with me, it was Xiao Chi who negotiated it!"
Lin Yue couldn't help but look at the young man in front of him. It seemed that he had been by Tu Yao's side the whole way.
Now I've helped them so much.
Even though they knew he was only helping them because of Tu Yao, they still had to express their gratitude.
Lin Yue said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you."
After considering it again, he said, "You're older than me... so thank you, Brother Chi."
Xu Chi is a senior member of his family, and everyone has to greet him respectfully whenever they meet.
However, he is the youngest among his peers, and no one has ever called him "brother".
He savored the memory strangely... it wasn't too unpleasant.
So he smiled slightly and acquiesced.
Lin Yue considered it for a moment and said, "In that case, shouldn't Tu Xiaomao also call you 'brother'?"
Xu Chi: ...
There's a lot of useless honesty.
Xu Chi's smile faded, and he said calmly, "Have you figured out how to reassure people?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the smile on Lin Yue's face disappeared.
Xu Chi was satisfied.
