After Liu Yun and his group left, Nanrong Wanqing looked approvingly at Nanrong Hao, nodding, "Not bad, you’ve been improving rapidly lately. It seems I can confidently entrust Hongyu Group to you in the future."
Nanrong Hao grinned, "Sister, soone as smart as wouldn’t get fooled."
"Haozi, what’s going on?" Ling Chen asked. He had been watching from the sidelines, not wanting to interrupt since it was a dispute between the Nanrong Family and the Liu Family. Moreover, the Nanrong Family currently had the upper hand, so his intervention was unnecessary. However, he didn’t quite grasp the aning behind Nanrong Wanqing and Nanrong Hao’s exchange.
"Chen, you’re an outsider here," Nanrong Hao chuckled proudly. "Let explain it to you."
After hearing Nanrong Hao’s explanation, Ling Chen finally understood. It turned out Liu Yun was offering to transfer half of the shares to Hongyu Group, which wasn’t beneficial. Instead, Liu Yun’s condition revealed his cunning nature.
If Hongyu Group accepted Liu Yun’s offer, it would bind Liu Family Business and Hongyu Group together. Then, Hongyu Group would beco the major shareholder of Liu Family Business. As a result, Hongyu Group would have to spend energy managing Liu Family Business.
As for the Liu Family, hitching a ride with Hongyu Group’s big ship would not only preserve the Liu Family but allow them to receive lucrative dividends annually. With Hongyu Group’s capabilities, Liu Family Business would eventually revive, prosper, and grow stronger, potentially earning several tis more than before.
Liu Yun was indeed cunning; the condition seed tempting but was actually an attempt to climb up to the Nanrong Family.
"Good job." Ling Chen raised his thumb, praising, "Haozi, spotting Liu Yun’s trick shows you already have a business mind."
Hearing Ling Chen’s praise, Nanrong Hao appeared exceptionally delighted. Then, as if recalling sothing, he coughed lightly and shifted the topic to Nanrong Wanqing.
"Sister, Chen has sothing to discuss with you. Um... you two go ahead. I have matters to handle, I won’t be joining you." Without waiting for Nanrong Wanqing to speak, Nanrong Hao dashed out of the office, shutting the door behind him.
Standing outside the office, Nanrong Hao signaled to Wang Lan, instructing, "Don’t interrupt them, hold off any matters, handle them later."
Wang Lan, being a wise woman, understood Nanrong Hao’s intention, smilingly nodded.
Inside the office, Nanrong Wanqing looked at Ling Chen, feeling oddly uneasy seeing him now.
"You..." After a mont of silence, Nanrong Wanqing finally spoke, "Why did you co to see ?"
Ling Chen smiled slightly and sat on the sofa, saying, "I want to discuss a deal with you."
"Discuss a deal?" Nanrong Wanqing seed taken aback. She speculated the reasons Ling Chen might look for her but hadn’t considered he was here for business matters, she even thought... She stopped her thoughts and concentrated on Ling Chen’s eyes. His gaze assured her he wasn’t joking.
"What business are you proposing?" Once it involved work, Nanrong Wanqing instantly regained her professionalism.
"I know Hongyu Group invested heavily in redevelopnt plans in the Old City area, even bought a lot of land there. I hope you can transfer a plot of land to ."
Indeed, Ling Chen was serious about discussing business this ti. To build his own forces, he surely needed a base. Dragon Tiger Tower and the base were different entities, not to be conflated, otherwise, they would cause trouble. After careful consideration, finding Nanrong Wanqing for land acquisition seed most convenient.
Upon hearing Ling Chen’s request, Nanrong Wanqing appeared quite surprised, asking him confusedly, "Is it you who wants to buy?"
"Yes."
"Although the redevelopnt in the Old City will take years to complete, the land prices there have increased several tis. With the current situation, no one would sell their land. Just wait a few more years, once the Old City flourishes, prices will rise several more tis."
Ling Chen nodded, saying, "I know, that’s why I ca to you for help. Wanqing, Hongyu Group owns so many plots, casually selling one to wouldn’t an much of a loss to you."
Nanrong Wanqing pondered and said, "I can sell it to you, but even at a friendly price, it’s still quite a sum. Are you sure you can afford it?"
She wasn’t underestimating Ling Chen; the cheapest plot in the Old City would cost eight figures, even at a friendly price. If priced according to market trends, it might be fifty percent higher. Ling Chen’s financial situation was well-known to her; apart from earning a five-figure salary during his ti at Hongyu Group, he had no other inco. Therefore, this amount was undoubtedly astronomical for him.
Before Ling Chen could speak, Nanrong Wanqing had already made up her mind. She shifted the conversation saying, "Forget it! You’ve helped the Nanrong Family nurous tis before, even saved my life several tis. Since you need land, I’ll send you a plot on behalf of the Nanrong Family."
"That’s not necessary," Ling Chen interjected, "We can separate friendship from business. You sell, I buy, I won’t let you suffer, nor do I want any favors. Na your price, any figure is fine."
This bastard... Nanrong Wanqing cursed inwardly; she had made her decision, but he didn’t appreciate it.
"Fine, since you have money, one million will do." Nanrong Wanqing responded impulsively, knowing it was said in jest.
"One million? That’s too little." Ling Chen had researched before coming; the land prices in the Old City were terrifyingly high, one million wouldn’t cut it, even tenfold wouldn’t guarantee a purchase.
Considering this, Ling Chen pulled a checkbook from his pocket, filled in so numbers, and handed it to Nanrong Wanqing.
"Wanqing, see if this amount fits? If it’s less, I’ll add so more."
Glancing at the figure on the check, Nanrong Wanqing’s jaw dropped. As the chairman of Hongyu Group, she was no stranger to handling billions and hundreds of billions. Nevertheless, staring at the series of zeros on the check, Nanrong Wanqing still felt a bit stunned.
Raising her eyes to et Ling Chen’s with a smile on his face, Nanrong Wanqing’s gaze grew a bit complicated. At this mont, she realized this Ling Chen was different from the one she previously knew.
A hundred million isn’t much; many wealthy individuals could produce such an amount. However, Ling Chen, who months ago was earning a five-figure salary as an ascending white-collar worker in security, could now casually fill out a check worth a hundred million. Such a transformation was truly unexpected.
