120: Chapter 12 Buying and Selling Equity

"Are you thinking about how you should interact with Xiao Wu tomorrow?"

Chen Guangke nodded honestly.

In the next second, Shen Yan smacked him hard on the forehead.

"Are you an idiot!"

"The way you've been interacting with Xiao Wu before was purely how friends interact."

"If you want to pursue Xiao Wu, the first thing you have to do is change the way you interact with her!"

Chen Guangke clutched his head, his face full of grievance.

"But I've always interacted with her like this. If you suddenly ask me to change, I don't know how to change..."

After saying that, he suddenly flashed a flattering smile at Shen Yan.

"You have much more experience than me. Teach me how I should change my way of interacting with Wu Ya?"

Shen Yan indeed had more experience than Chen Guangke.

After thinking for a moment, he suggested, "I think you can start by changing the small details of how you interact with Xiao Wu."

"For example, when you go out with her, you can help her carry things. When watching a movie, you can help her get the tickets. Generally speaking, just help Xiao Wu wherever you can."

Chen Guangke nodded as if he understood but didn't fully grasp it.

"Okay, I'll work hard on it tomorrow."

Seeing that he finally understood, Shen Yan smiled with relief.

"Then I'll wait for your good news tomorrow!"

Chen Guangke nodded confidently.

"No problem!"

...

The next day, Shen Yan was woken up by Chen Guangke's call.

"Hello, where are you now? Why haven't you arrived yet?"

Hearing the question, Shen Yan quickly cleared his throat and replied, "Oh dear, I'm really sorry, but I might not be able to go out with you two today."

Wu Ya's voice came through the phone.

"Did something happen?"

Shen Yan sighed and feigned melancholy.

"I haven't been home to accompany my child for too long. Youyou is unhappy and wants me to stay home with her."

Hearing that it was the child preventing Shen Yan from going out, Wu Ya said, "How about this: you bring Youyou out, and the four of us can go out together."

How could that work?!

If that happened, his plan would fail.

Thinking this, he replied to Wu Ya, "No, she already went out to play the day before yesterday. She can't go out to play again. You two should just go out by yourselves."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Ya said without hesitation, "If you don't come, the two of us definitely won't go out alone."

Chen Guangke stared wide-eyed beside him.

"Why? Am I not a person who can accompany you out to play?"

Wu Ya shot Chen Guangke a look.

"What fun is there for just the two of us?"

Chen Guangke was full of reluctance, and he retorted in a low voice, "You change your tune faster than turning a page. You didn't say that before!"

Wu Ya felt he was being unreasonable.

"How am I changing my tune faster than turning a page?"

"This outing was arranged by President Shen in the first place. If he's not here, it's perfectly normal for the two of us to scatter!"

The two of them exchanged words, neither giving in in the slightest.

Seeing that their bickering was about to escalate into an argument, Shen Yan quickly intervened.

"Alright, stop arguing there. I asked the two of you to go out just to relax. Even if I'm not there, you two can still go out and relax a bit."

"Okay, I'm not talking to you two anymore. I have to go accompany Youyou."

After saying that, he directly hung up the phone.

Leaving only Chen Guangke and Wu Ya standing at the entrance of Chen Guangke's house, looking at each other.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Chen Ling was talking with Wang Tian in the office.

"What is the matter that you asked me to come over today?"

Hearing Wang Tian's question, Chen Ling replied to him, "I asked you here today mainly to discuss the matter of selling the shares with you."

Wang Tian was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected Chen Ling to bring up this matter proactively.

With the efforts of time and the public relations firm, the heat surrounding Chen Ling's public opinion incident had been successfully suppressed.

Logically speaking, she shouldn't propose selling the shares when the issue had already been resolved.

Wang Tian felt there was something fishy about this.

Thinking this, he said with a chuckle, "President Chen, are you perhaps just teasing me?"

Chen Ling raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do I look like I'm teasing you?"

Wang Tian shrugged and replied, "How would I know if you're teasing me or not."

Chen Ling scoffed and tossed the documents in her hand onto the table.

"Take a look."

Wang Tian lowered his crossed legs and glanced at the documents on the table.

"You've even drafted the share transfer agreement?"

Chen Ling nodded and replied, "I have to show you my sincerity, don't I?"

"Sincerity?" Wang Tian sneered, tossing the documents back onto the table, "Your sincerity isn't worth eight figures."

Hearing this, Chen Ling's expression also turned cold.

"What do you mean by that? I've already offered a very fair price."

The fair price she mentioned was eighty-five million.

This was far beyond Wang Tian's expected price.

"Are you overestimating the company's current situation by trying to sell thirty percent of the shares for eighty million?"

Faced with the questioning, Chen Ling didn't panic at all.

"Regardless of the company's current situation, it is still a listed company. I don't believe that thirty percent of a listed company's shares wouldn't be worth over eighty million."

That logic made sense.

But Wang Tian didn't want to be the sucker.

How could thirty percent of a listed company that was already on the decline be worth eighty-five million?

"I'm sorry, if you still insist on this price, then we have nothing to discuss."

Saying that, Wang Tian stood up and walked toward the door.

Just as he was about to leave the office, Chen Ling called out to stop him.

"Wait!"

"Then tell me, what is your desired price?"

Wang Tian, with his back to Chen Ling, curled his lips and said, "Eight million."

Hearing this price, Chen Ling almost cursed out loud.

"Wang Tian, if you don't have the money to buy the shares I hold, just say so. There's no need to tell me this in such a roundabout way!"

Wang Tian turned his steps and walked back to the sofa.

"That's right, just as you said, I indeed don't have enough money on hand to buy the shares you hold."

"The price I can offer is only eight million. Tell me if you'll sell or not."

Chen Ling refused without hesitation.

"Don't worry, I won't sell to you for eight million. You can leave now."

This time it was Wang Tian's turn to try and win Chen Ling back.

He picked up the documents again, flipping through them as he spoke, "Actually, you want to sell, and I want to buy. We can discuss it."

"Although I don't have enough money on hand to buy your shares, I can ask other people to buy the shares you hold along with me!"
