Chapter 107 Zhou Ya's invitation, shall we go to her room for a while?

The Su Family was, honestly speaking, not surprised that Mrs. Zheng would call them. The reason was simple: the initiative was now in the Su Family's hands. Unless Mrs. Zheng was truly willing to let her eldest son spend some time in Prison, there was really no need for both sides to continue this infighting.

After answering the phone, Mrs. Zheng and the Su Family agreed on a time and place to meet. It was clear that both sides needed to communicate properly about this matter.

"She has agreed to negotiate?"

"As it stands, they only have this one choice, don't they?"

Father Su spoke with a calm tone. It was evident that he had anticipated this matter long ago. The Su Family was truly unwilling to continue entangling themselves with the Zheng Family and wanted to cut ties as quickly as possible.

"Su Qiaoer, your mother and I have discussed it, and we feel that regarding the compensation amount for Su Chemical, our bottom line is 3 billion."

"This mainly depends on whether the other party can agree to it, but I think, given how much Mrs. Zheng dotes on Zheng Tian, this number shouldn't be a huge problem."

Under normal circumstances, they should be paying over 4 billion in compensation. If they could really control it to 3 billion, then for the Su Family, that would mean saving over 1 billion. In this situation, if they could truly succeed, it would definitely be a good thing for the Su Family. In that case, they should still have 2 billion in hand.

Having 2 billion in liquid funds in hand is really not a small number. Many billionaires with a net worth of hundreds of billions might actually only have a few tens of millions in their own accounts.

As for net worth... Heh, being able to sell off shares, and at that price, that's when you actually have that much money. But how is that possible?

Time passed bit by bit. Before they knew it, the time agreed upon by Mrs. Zheng and the Su Family had arrived. This meeting place was a business restaurant located in the city center. The restaurant looked quite upscale. Zheng Jie had eaten here before. Eating at such a place, to put it bluntly, is just about the atmosphere; the taste of the food is actually quite average.

When both parties met in the private room, the atmosphere was actually somewhat tense. Who could have imagined that a few months ago, these two families were getting along harmoniously, yet a few months later, they had become like this? One can only say that the world is unpredictable.

"Mrs. Zheng, please sit."

"We have come here today also hoping to reach a settlement on the basis that everyone is satisfied."

"After all, our relationship in the past was quite good, wasn't it?"

Mrs. Zheng listened to these words, feeling nothing but disdain in her heart.

Anyone can say such flowery words.

And these people only got everyone to sit together and communicate by threatening her.

Mrs. Zheng also felt somewhat helpless in her heart, but there was no other way. For the sake of her eldest son, Mrs. Zheng had no choice but to come.

"Let's discuss things one by one."

There were quite a lot of matters between the two sides, not something that could be explained in a few sentences. Moreover, everyone had plenty of time today; there was enough time to communicate properly.

"The first matter is the divorce between our daughter and your son. As it stands, we don't feel there is any need for their marriage to continue, so we hope to have them divorce. I think you, Mrs. Zheng, should have the same attitude, right?"

Mrs. Zheng looked up at the two of them and then nodded.

Since Su Qiaoer had turned her son into what he was now, she certainly hoped for the two of them to divorce.

"Fine, we have the same thought as well, so let's divorce."

Divorce was just the simplest of all the matters between them, so everyone quickly reached a consensus. Hearing this, the Su Parents nodded.

"Then the second matter is the issue of Su Chemical."

Now they were about to enter the most critical matter.

"However, we hope to discuss this matter together with the issue of your son forcing our daughter."

Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng's face looked unpleasant.

"I have said, my son did not force you."

"That is not important. What is important is that the law stipulates it this way. If it weren't for this reason, I'm afraid you wouldn't be here either, would you?"

When looking at a person, one shouldn't look at what they say, but rather at what they have done. The Su Parents were not fools. If the other party really thought that way, or if the situation could develop according to the other party's wishes, I'm afraid Mrs. Zheng wouldn't have appeared here today.

Mrs. Zheng felt a surge of anger in her heart upon hearing this.

"We can choose not to sue Zheng Tian. After all, in the past, they grew up together, and there is some affection there. Furthermore, we can provide some compensation regarding Su Chemical. After all, no matter what, your 20 billion was indeed invested in solid reality."

"But we actually didn't receive much money; most of it is still in the hands of Su Group, so we can offer a compensation of 2 billion."

2 billion.

In reality, this is negotiation technique.

Because you can't state your bottom-line price in your heart right at the beginning; otherwise, how can you continue to negotiate?

"Do you think our Zheng Family are fools? You earned at least 4 billion from that share sale, and now you are only giving half? Do you think we are suckers? We cannot accept this number."

As expected.

Mrs. Zheng did not agree to this number.

"If you don't agree to this number, then Mrs. Zheng, what is your internal expectation? Let's just speak plainly. Whether for you or for us, this is a better choice."

Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng took a deep breath.

"4 billion, that is our bottom-line price."

"This price is too high. How about this: if you want to use this price, then we will end the negotiations, and everyone can just go straight to suing."

At this moment, Father Su also began to apply pressure.

This was to force the other party to lower the price.

"Anyway, it's not our child who will be entering Prison."

"And as far as I know, Zheng Tian should still be recovering from his injuries, right? Entering Prison at this time probably won't be good for his recovery, right? I heard that it's quite chaotic inside Prison."

Mother Su followed up with this sentence at this moment. Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng clenched her fists.

"How much money do you actually want to pay?"

"Mrs. Zheng, in reality, 2 billion is the greatest sincerity for us. When Mr. Zheng proposed that price to buy the shares back then, I'm afraid he also wanted to take advantage of the situation, right? So we are even; neither of us can say anything about the other. In short, we hope to close the deal at this price."

Mrs. Zheng actually still lacked enough cunning.

After all, most of the matters in the family were handled by Father Zheng. Now that Mrs. Zheng was handling this matter alone, she indeed displayed her lack of familiarity.

"If you agree, then we will finalize it today, and we can sign the settlement agreement tomorrow. The money should appear in your Bank card by the afternoon. But if you don't agree, then we will each prepare for our own lawsuits and let the law make the judgment."

The Su Parents had already seen that Mrs. Zheng was very likely to agree to the figure of 2 billion; otherwise, the other party wouldn't have reacted this way. Therefore, since they had already seen it, the Su Parents would be very firm on this number, and perhaps they wouldn't change this number at all.

"2 billion, and everything ends here. I hope our two families will not have any contact in the future."

"In fact, we have the same thought. After all, during this time, my daughter has been quite tired. As a father, watching my daughter like this, I also feel very distressed in my heart."

"Fine, let's do it this way: 2 billion, and you will not sue my son."

"No problem."

Both parties finally managed to finalize this matter. Because time was relatively urgent, the lawyers had not yet prepared the contract. Therefore, both sides decided to bring their respective lawyers here tomorrow. If there were no issues, they could sign the contract.

Watching Mrs. Zheng's departing figure, the Su Parents both had happy expressions on their faces.

"I didn't expect Mrs. Zheng to be so foolish as to actually agree to this number. Now, for us, this can be considered a huge profit."

"Of course, she has no experience. Fortunately, Father Zheng is in Prison at this time; otherwise, facing that old fox, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been this easy."

Father Su felt that Father Zheng would not be as foolish as Mrs. Zheng, but regardless, the opponent's foolishness was a good thing for him.

"Alright, let's go home. We need to tell Su Qiaoer this news."

"Fine, fine, fine, let's go back."

Seeing that the time was about right, the two of them went back.

When Su Qiaoer heard the final price, she was naturally quite satisfied in her heart. In this way, they had paid almost 50% of the cost, which let them breathe a sigh of relief.

On the other side, Zheng Jie already basically knew about the matters here.

"The Su Family is still quite capable; they were actually able to finalize the price of 2 billion."

Zheng Jie could roughly estimate how much money the Su Family had earned at that time. Now, this 2 billion is less than half; the Su Family definitely has no problem, as they still have quite a bit of money left.

"Mrs. Zheng has no experience; the Su Family must be overjoyed right now."

"However, even if the Zheng Family gets this money, they still have to pay back the Bank and so on. By then, they won't have that much money left."

After resolving this matter, the Su Family could basically live their own little life, but the Zheng Family still had way too many troubles.

"Alright, keep watching. If there is anything, report to me immediately. I'm going out first."

Tonight, Zheng Jie had arranged to have dinner with Zhou Ya. Currently, with the promotion of both sides, the overall progress of both parties is still very smooth. It is estimated that this matter will probably be finalized very soon.

In this way, the position of Mrs. Zheng will become Zhou Ya's.

However, even if they get married, Zheng Jie himself will prepare a prenuptial agreement. Many wealthy people will prepare this thing. After all, wealthy people are just wealthy; they are not fools. Wanting to take away half upon divorce is a bit too naive.

Of course, although there will be a prenuptial agreement, during the marriage, Zheng Jie can provide projects and funds to Xingzhou Group, so the other party won't be at a loss.

As for Zhou Ya, she just needs to play the role of a trophy wife. When the time comes, both sides will have a child, and this child will be the legitimate child on the surface. As for Xia Wanqing's child, that can only be an illegitimate child.

...

"Are you tired today?"

Inside the cafe, Zhou Ya looked at Liu Jun, her tone full of curiosity when she spoke.

"It's alright."

"Currently, the staff below are quite capable; they handle many things well, and they don't need me."

Hearing this, Zhou Ya nodded.

"Grandfather told me today about you investing in my brother's environmental company. He asked me to express some gratitude to you."

"Gratitude? What is there to be grateful for? I thought this project was good, so I chose to invest. If you want to thank someone, you should thank Young Master Zhou; after all, it was his ability that allowed me to make money on this project."

Saying this was just being polite.

In reality, for this project of Zhou Min, even if it succeeds, at most it has a market value of over a billion. For a person like Zheng Jie, this bit of small money is truly insignificant, and he doesn't value it at all.

"But it is still necessary to thank."

The two of them ate for nearly two hours. Most of the time, Zhou Ya was talking and Zheng Jie was listening. The overall atmosphere was quite harmonious.

After finishing the meal, Zhou Ya and Zheng Jie came outside the restaurant.

"I'll drive you back."

"Hmm? Where is your driver?"

At this moment, Zhou Ya's tone was full of curiosity when she spoke.

"Him?"

"He went back to rest."

"And my driving skills are also quite good. What, you don't believe me?"

Hearing this, Zhou Ya thought for a moment.

"Although I don't quite believe it, saying it out like this seems to be a blow to your self-confidence, right?"

"But you seem to have already said it."

"Ah, I didn't say it. Never mind, it's fine. The driver is a handsome guy; even if there is danger, it's worth it."

"If you put it that way, then I'll take it as you complimenting me."

"Of course I am complimenting you."

Zhou Ya did not live at home, but in a large flat outside. This large flat was 400 square meters and was a gift from the Zhou Family to Zhou Ya. One can only say that the life of the wealthy is just like this; a birthday gift is a large flat worth over 100 million.

Soon, the vehicle stopped at the residential complex's parking lot.

At this time, Zhou Ya was sitting in the passenger seat. After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Ya looked at Zheng Jie.

"Why not... go up and sit for a while?"

"I have a few kittens at home."

Zhou Ya knew very clearly what this invitation meant.

But to put it bluntly, everyone also understood that this kind of thing would definitely happen.

It was just a matter of time.
