174: Chapter 174 A Dilemma

"Mr. Shen, I was wrong before. I shouldn't have listened to that bitch Chen Ling and diluted your shares with her!"

"I was wrong, I was really wrong. I'll kneel for you. Can I kowtow to you?"

Hearing this, Shen Yan smiled faintly without speaking.

Seeing his reaction, Wang Tian thought Shen Yan had tacitly agreed.

So, he immediately bowed his head and kowtowed several times on the ground with loud thuds, apologizing while he did so.

"Mr. Shen! I was wrong! I'm sorry!"

After repeating these three sentences several times, he raised his already red and swollen forehead and cautiously asked Shen Yan, "Mr. Shen, is that enough?"

Shen Yan propped his chin with his hand and said to Wang Tian, "Mr. Wang, don't be like this. I came here to discuss the acquisition of the company with you, not to settle old scores."

Hearing this, Wang Tian felt a bit desperate.

"But there is absolutely no way the company can be sold to you for five hundred thousand. Even if I agree, the other shareholders won't!"

Shen Yan blinked and asked, "But I think as long as you agree, that's enough. Just like what you just did, don't notify them, just give me the acquisition contract directly."

How does he know I haven't called the others?!

Wang Tian felt extremely terrified internally.

His pupils constricted, and he opened his mouth to say to Shen Yan, "This... this is different."

Shen Yan chuckled lightly.

"What's the difference?"

"You're leaving anyway. Whether you get a little more money or a little less doesn't matter, right?"

Wang Tian lowered his head and said nothing.

After a long pause, he looked up at Shen Yan and said, "I can help you get the signatures from the others, but you must raise the price a bit more."

Shen Yan shook his head.

"No, five hundred thousand it is. If you try to haggle with me again, then I'll just take nothing and deliver this set of documents in your hands directly to the police station."

This was an undisguised threat!

Wang Tian was both furious and agitated. He gritted his teeth and spat out the words, "Fine! Five hundred thousand it is!"

Seeing that he agreed, Shen Yan stopped sitting on the sofa. He stood up, walked in front of Wang Tian, who was still kneeling on the ground, and patted his shoulder:

"I remember you used to like saying one thing to me: 'Heaven's way of retribution is cyclical; no one escapes the consequences.' I feel that what you said is particularly true right now."

After speaking, he laughed a few times and turned to leave the office.

Leaving behind Wang Tian, whose eyes were filled with hatred.

Because he didn't close the office door when he left, the secretary saw Wang Tian kneeling inside as soon as she turned her head.

"Mr... Mr. Wang..."

Hearing the secretary's slightly panicked words, Wang Tian slapped all the documents on the desk onto the floor with a 'smack'.

"What are you looking at! Get out!"

The secretary dared not disobey. She closed the office door and ran off, taking the opportunity to share this explosive news in the colleague group chat.

【Legend: @ everyone — Shocking news! Mr. Wang knelt down to Mr. Shen!】

【Fang De: ??? What's going on? Tell us the details quickly!】

Wang Tian didn't know that the matter of him kneeling to Shen Yan had already been shared as gossip by the secretary. He was still contemplating how to deceive the other shareholders into signing the acquisition contract.

Just as he was thinking, the other shareholders called him.

"Wang Tian, I'm calling to remind you, you don't have much time left."

Hearing this, Wang Tian remembered that he had made a bet with the other shareholders.

If he couldn't make the company profitable in a short time, he would have to voluntarily withdraw from the company just like Chen Ling.

Thinking of this, he got a headache. His current situation was truly like facing a wolf in front and a tiger behind; everyone was eyeing his position.

Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, the person on the other end of the line pressed, "Wang Tian, you aren't thinking of breaking the agreement, are you?"

Wang Tian took a deep breath and pretended to sound relaxed, "How could I possibly want to break the agreement? I recently encountered a particularly good project that will likely bring considerable returns to the company soon."

The shareholder on the other end sounded very interested in his words.

"Oh? Really? Which project is it? I'll go take a look."

Where is there really a project?

That was just an excuse he made up!

Wang Tian muttered internally while pretending to be busy, "It's just a newly developed project recently. Alright, I won't chat with you anymore, I have a meeting to attend here."

"How about this, help me schedule a meeting with the other few people, and I'll come over tonight to chat with you all."

The shareholder on the other end didn't think much of it.

"Sure. Then just come to my place tonight, and we can thoroughly discuss the future direction of the company."

Wang Tian grunted and hung up the phone.

After hanging up, he gripped his phone tightly, gazed out at the scenery outside the window, and decided to make a desperate gamble!

... ...

Meanwhile, on the other side, Chen Ling was handling the procedures to change the company's legal representative and chairman's name with Yang Jin.

Originally, such procedures took a relatively long time.

But because Chen Ling was in a hurry, the two of them found some connections, and it was estimated the matter could be settled within a few days.

The financial company was close at hand.

Chen Ling was overjoyed, and even her attitude towards Yang Jin improved significantly.

The way they interacted now was like returning to their passionate dating period.

"A'Ling, come take a look."

Hearing this, Chen Ling walked over to Yang Jin and looked at the magazine in his hand.

"Is this... a new car?"

Yang Jin nodded heavily and replied to Chen Ling, "That's right, it's only two million, incredibly cheap. Can you buy one for me?"

Chen Ling's expression stiffened. All her money was tied up in the company; where would she get the money to buy Yang Jin a car?

Seeing that her expression wasn't very good, Yang Jin pretended to be disappointed.

"Never mind, never mind. If you won't buy it for me, then don't. I can just look at it."

Saying that, he abruptly closed the magazine, got up, and walked to the side to drink some water.

Seeing that he was unhappy, Chen Ling thought for a moment and felt she could buy this car to appease Yang Jin.

After all, the financial company was worth nine figures!

Compared to that, what was a mere two-million-dollar car?

Thinking this, she smiled, walked forward, hugged Yang Jin from behind, and said to him, "Alright, I'll buy it for you, I'll buy it for you. You've bought me so many things; what's wrong with me buying you something?"

After speaking, she took the magazine from Yang Jin's hand and pointed to the car Yang Jin had indicated, asking, "Is this the one?"

Yang Jin smiled and nodded at her, "That's right, this car. Let's go buy it now, without delay."

Chen Ling didn't have that much money on hand right now. Her eyes darted around, and she said to Yang Jin, "It's a bit late now. How about this, I'll take you tomorrow instead?"
