Chapter 263: Teach Father-in-law a Lesson
Lu Yiming only used a few simple tricks to successfully remove Ge Youcai's mark from Jingyi Real Estate. From now on, all employees of Jingyi Real Estate will only remember him, the new boss.
Business is like a battlefield, simple, direct and cruel. If you have money, you can do whatever you want.
No matter how affectionate your boss is to you, you come out to make money, and a boss who doesn't pay you is not a good boss. On the contrary, as long as the money is enough, it's a real blessing, and I can work for another 500 years.
Those who ask you to work 007 and only pay you 855 yuan a month will still be cursed by their employees in their hearts, even if they are very friendly.
After dealing with the matters of Jingyi Real Estate, Lu Yiming left in Lin Shuyi's Rolls-Royce. On the way, he received a call from Shi Qingxue.
"What's wrong, my dear classmate Shi Qingxue?"
Hearing Lu Yiming's address, Shi Qingxue's pretty face flushed immediately. Then she looked around guiltily and found that no one was looking at her. Then she covered the phone with her right hand and whispered softly: "Why didn't you come to class so early in the morning? Where have you been? When the teacher found out that you didn't come to class just now, his face was black. He must have been mad at you."
Lu Yiming raised his lips and laughed out loud: "How is that possible? Although I am late for class, I know that I am a good student. I haven't fallen behind in my studies. You will know how good I am in the next monthly exam. Then I will definitely ask you to call me Teacher Lu."
Shi Qingxue had come here with good intentions to tell tales, but she didn't expect Lu Yiming to skip classes and still say that he was a good student. She immediately pouted and said, "Huh, bad guy, you're the only one who knows how to say that! So where have you been? If you have nothing to do, come to school and attend classes."
Lu Yiming immediately said seriously: "I went to deal with some company matters and now I'm on my way to school."
"Oh, then hurry up. My classmates are coming. I'll hang up first."
Shi Qingxue knew that Lu Yiming worked so hard to make money for the future of the two of them, and she felt sweet in her heart. Although she didn't care whether Lu Yiming had money or not, she knew that Lu Yiming did this to gain the recognition of General Shi.
She felt that having a man willing to fight for her made her feel very happy.
Lu Yiming looked at the bright sunshine outside the car window, and a happy arc appeared on the corner of his mouth. He must protect this simple happiness personally.
No one can hurt the girl he loves, not even his future father-in-law.
At the same time, in the Zhou family’s old house.
Zhou Youguang lay on the armchair under the grape trellis in the backyard, staring blankly with a lonely look on his face.
The grapes in front of him were planted by him and his son.
The grapes are still there, but the people are gone.
There are three major misfortunes in a man's life: losing his father in childhood, losing his wife in middle age, and losing his son in old age.
Unfortunately, Zhou Youguang happened to have all of these qualities.
When I was a child, my family was poor and there was famine in years of disaster. My father worked so hard to support our family that he died.
Zhou Youguang finally grew up, married a virtuous wife, and his career gradually improved. He also had a son and a daughter. He could have had a happy and fulfilling life.
But unfortunately his wife fell seriously ill and passed away before she could enjoy a few years of good life.
For the sake of his daughter and son, and because he could not forget his deceased wife, Zhou Youguang never remarried, although he had had a few women outside over the years.
But fate did not let him off. His youngest son, whom he had always regarded as his pride, suddenly met with a disaster and died an untimely death.
Since Zhou Jianfeng was buried, Zhou Youguang has never managed his businesses again. All the shares, bonds and shops in his hands have been handed over to his eldest daughter.
What he does most every day now is to stare blankly under the grape trellis. This is what happens when people get old. They always tend to indulge in memories of the past, recalling every little detail of the past, letting those forgotten past events constantly come to their minds.
Ding-a-ling~
The ringing of the cell phone interrupted Zhou Youguang's thoughts. He answered the call expressionlessly: "Hello."
On the other end of the phone, Lu Yiming's brisk voice came: "Mr. Zhou, it's me, Lu Yi..."
Before Lu Yiming could finish speaking, Zhou Youguang hung up the phone.
On the other end, Lu Yiming heard the beeping sound coming from his phone and immediately felt unhappy. He muttered, "Who is this! You hung up on me before I even finished talking?"
Afterwards, he called Zhou Youguang again.
"Hello?"
"It's still me, Lu..."
"Hello?"
"I am……"
"Hello."
"I……"
Lu Yiming kept calling, and Zhou Youguang would hang up the phone as soon as he heard Lu Yiming's voice, and he hung up the phone faster and faster.
There was no caller ID in those days, so Zhou Youguang naturally had no way of memorizing Lu Yiming's number.
However, after calling so many times, Zhou Youguang remembered it and would hang up as soon as he picked up the phone.
Lu Yiming was not discouraged. He continued calling after Zhou Youguang hung up. Anyway, there was no blacklisting function these days. Unless Zhou Youguang turned off his phone directly, he could keep calling.
The phone rang for the tenth time, and Zhou Youguang finally lost his patience. After pressing the answer button, he roared, "I have already explained everything you wanted to ask last time, and I have also repaid the favor I owed you! What on earth do you want to do?"
Lu Yiming completely ignored Zhou Youguang's roar and said in a relaxed tone: "What are you doing? Come out and chat."
Zhou Youguang turned a cold face and refused directly: "I'm busy, and I don't want to see you either. "
Lu Yiming said unhappily: "Hey, hey, hey, Lao Zhou, I didn't offend you, did I? I'm not a bad luck god, why don't you want to see me?"
Zhou Youguang's eyes widened, and he stood up from the rattan chair, stiffening his neck and saying, "The first time I saw you, I sold my shop. The second time I saw you, my son died. Every time I see you, I have to lose something. Do you think you are a bad luck god?"
When Lu Yiming heard this, he became even more depressed: "Fuck, you should be reasonable. I only paid for your shop in installments, not without paying. Besides, your son's death has nothing to do with me."
Zhou Youguang cursed, "Who told you to speculate in rubles? If you don't speculate in rubles, will my son speculate in rubles? If my son doesn't speculate in rubles, will he lose money? If he doesn't lose money, will he be killed by the Wu family?"
Lu Yiming was immediately furious: "Can you blame me for this? Are you still being reasonable?"
Zhou Youguang cried, "My son is gone, why should I reason with you?"
Hearing this, Lu Yiming suddenly calmed down.
Putting aside the facts, Zhou Youguang is indeed quite pitiful.
"I acquired Lean Real Estate. I asked you out to talk to you about the issue of Lean Real Estate's shares."
Zhou Youguang then realized that Lu Yiming wanted to talk to him about business matters.
But now his son is buried in the ground, so he has no interest in business matters: "Forget it, my son is gone, what's the point of telling me these things?"
"Okay, my condolences."
In Lin Shuyi's office, Lu Yiming hung up the phone silently.
Lin Shuyi, who was sitting opposite the desk, was laughing so hard that her body was shaking.
"Haha, I've let you look down on me all day long. Now you've fallen, haven't you?"
Lu Yiming sighed and said, "I clearly want to be kind to others, but someone forces me to be a bad person. Sigh..."
Lin Shuyi stopped whispering and asked curiously, "So what are you going to do now? Zhou Youguang has a lot of shares. If you don't take them back, it will always be a hidden danger. It's like burying a time bomb that might explode at any time."
Lu Yiming said in a relaxed tone: "This is a simple matter. Just dilute the shares through continuous capital injection. I have 800 million yuan in funds. Whether it is Zhou Youguang or Shi Caijiang, they are destined to be defeated by me."
Lin Shuyi narrowed her eyes and complained unhappily, "Those 800 million are obviously mine, okay? You are just holding them in trust!"
Lu Yiming glanced at her sideways, and instead of perfunctorily giving her a thumbs up, he said, "Yes, yes, yes, you are rich, you are great, you are noble..."
A few days later, in the cafeteria of Baiyun No. 1 Middle School.
Lu Yiming and Shi Qingxue were eating. Shi Qingxue took the loofah from his bowl and gave him the tender and smooth steamed pork with rice flour.
Lu Yiming looked at Shi Qingxue's cautious look and was immediately confused about whether to laugh or cry: "Do you like eating loofah so much?"
Shi Qingxue said with a melancholy look on her face: "That's not the case. I've gained a little weight in the past few days, so I have to control my diet."
Lu Yiming looked her up and down and said, "Where are you fat? I can't tell at all. How about I touch you?"
He reached out and touched Shi Qingxue's belly.
Shi Qingxue knocked Lu Yiming's head hard: "I'm touching your head , don't touch me!"
Lu Yiming curled his lips and snorted in dissatisfaction: "Every time you beat me up before you tell me, this is too shameless."
Shi Qingxue smiled complacently: "Huh? Are you dissatisfied?"
"Clothes."
At this moment, Lu Yiming's cell phone rang, and he said to Shi Qingxue: "I'll take a call."
He pulled out his cell phone, hummed a few times into the phone, and hung up.
Shi Qingxue asked curiously, "Who is it?"
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "A woman in her thirties asked me to discuss some business matters. Do you want to go with me?"
When Shi Qingxue heard this, she felt relieved immediately. She rolled her eyes, but the corners of her mouth curled up: "How can you be considered an old woman in your thirties? Humph, I don't want to skip classes with you."
Lu Yiming immediately defended himself: "Speaking of which, I always ask for leave from the class teacher. Can it be considered as skipping classes for a scholar?"
More than ten minutes later, we arrived at Yi Nian Coffee Shop.
Lu Yiming pushed open the glass door and soon saw Zhou Jinyun, a woman in her thirties with a good figure but not very pretty.
But her temperament is very special, giving people a very friendly feeling.
Lu Yiming couldn't help but feel emotional when he saw this.
It would be a shame not to sell insurance.
Facing Lu Yiming, Zhou Jinyun behaved very appropriately: "Mr. Lu, I am Zhou Jinyun. I am currently managing my father's business. This morning I heard from my father that Mr. Lu, are you interested in the shares of Jingyi Real Estate that we have?"
Lu Yiming sat down leisurely and smiled at Zhou Jinyun: "It is true, but I did not have a pleasant chat with your father."
Zhou Jinyun explained with some sadness: "My deceased brother was buried not long ago, and my father has not yet come out of his grief. I hope Mr. Lu will not be offended."
Lu Yiming nodded slightly, his expression easygoing: "I understand your father's feelings. Now let's talk about business. After I finished talking to your father, I thought that if your father wanted to hold on to the shares, it would not be a big deal for me. I have more than 800 million yuan in funds available, and I can mobilize more if necessary. When the time comes, I can directly inject capital into Jingyi Real Estate to dilute your father's shares."
Zhou Jinyun seemed to feel a huge pressure and said calmly: "I know, so this is why I called Mr. Lu to come over."
Lu Yiming praised Zhou Jinyun for her understanding of the situation: "It's much more comfortable to chat with you than with your father."
Zhou Jinyun didn't respond to this question, and continued to talk about some past events: "When my father wanted to buy shares of Jingyi Real Estate, many people in our family were actually against it. But he said that he was optimistic about the growth potential of Jingyi Real Estate, so he sold several assets in his hands and also used the money to invest in Jingyi Real Estate. And this matter was specifically handled by my brother. Maybe my father also wanted to keep a memory."
After finishing speaking, Zhou Jinyun looked at Lu Yiming seriously again and asked sincerely: "Mr. Lu, do you think there is room for improvement in this matter? The Zhou family is not that powerful in Baiyun, but at least it is not weak. They have a wide network of contacts in all aspects. Wouldn't it be good to have more allies in business and share the risks together?"
Obviously, Zhou Jinyun has no intention of selling the shares of Jingyi Real Estate at present, otherwise the Zhou family will suffer a great loss.
But Lu Yiming already had his own ideas, so he naturally wouldn't agree.
He just shook his head slightly, his tone revealing a resoluteness that would not tolerate any change: "This time it's a personal grudge. I'm dealing with another shareholder, so it has nothing to do with you. You just happened to stand in front of me."
At this point, Lu Yiming paused and persuaded again: "Ms. Zhou, you can't be emotional when doing business. I can understand your father's thoughts, and I sympathize with his experience. But I'm really sorry, you have no choice, and I have no choice either."
Although both of them spoke politely, there were actually undercurrents. Everyone put forward their own bargaining chips, hoping to gain some initiative in the negotiations.
But since it concerns Shi Qingxue, Lu Yiming naturally cannot make any concessions. When it comes to the matter of Lean Real Estate, he has the determination and strength to see it through to the end.
Zhou Jinyun saw Lu Yiming talking so slowly but not giving in, and she felt helpless.
Looking back at Lu Yiming's entire rise, he was youthful and energetic, calm and composed, and even scheming. Zhou Jinyun didn't know how to find a breakthrough for Lu Yiming.
However, it is undeniable that Lu Yiming is indeed very arrogant, but he has the capital to be arrogant.
In just one year, he went from being penniless to having a net worth of over ten billion. Anyone can be so proud of that.
What's more, Lu Yiming is only a teenager, still a high school student. Age is also Lu Yiming's best shield and disguise. No matter what crazy things he does, probably no one will be surprised.
Zhou Jinyun certainly knew that her father and Shi Caijiang had a private agreement, but now she decided to give up. After all, Lu Yiming was not Ge Youcai. The young man in front of her was too rich and too young. This kind of person was not easy to mess with.
"Okay, you're right. Business matters cannot be measured by emotions. My brother has passed away, and my father should let go. Perhaps it is more important for me to remove some traces of my brother and let my father get over it sooner and enjoy his old age."
Lu Yiming nodded approvingly: "It's good that you understand things. It's really comfortable to deal with you. Don't worry, I will never let you suffer a loss in terms of price, and I will consider it as a favor to your Zhou family."
Reasonably speaking, bargaining is not applicable here. Lu Yiming is not a person who only cares about money. He doesn't want to appear aggressive if he can avoid offending others.
The reason why Zhou Jinyun was so friendly with Lu Yiming was, firstly, because they had found Zhou Jianfeng's body according to the location Lu Yiming said. This was considered a favor they owed Lu Yiming, although his father had already repaid it.
But on the other hand, the Zhou family now depends entirely on her for support, and making connections is an indispensable thing. For Zhou Jinyun, being able to become friends with a wealthy billionaire like Lu Yiming is a very beneficial thing for both the Zhou family and herself.
Finally, the equity issue of Lean Real Estate was resolved. Lu Yiming felt much more relaxed. The most difficult problem had been solved, and all that was left was to catch the turtle in the jar.
Shi Caijiang dreams of seizing Ge Youcai's Lean Real Estate by stealthily taking over the magpie's nest.
But Lu Yiming would never let his future father-in-law fulfill his wish. After all, he had done something wrong, and as his future son-in-law, he had the obligation to help him get back on the right track in life.
After all, men are creatures that don't know their place without some unforgettable lessons.
Shi Caijiang has done so many things for his own selfish reasons and has broken Shi Qingxue's heart. How can Lu Yiming just stand by and watch?
