Chapter 73: Duped! (1/2)

Inside the study room, Yang Tianhu sat down on his chair and spoke to Yang Ruoxue, ”Xiao Xue, bring over the thing I asked you to prepare.”

Yang Ruoxue brought over an envelope and placed it on Yang Tianhu’s table.

“Xiao Yu, since you said that you treat us as family, then I will shall be frank with you. The Wanmei Group was established by me. However, over the years, the performance of the group has gotten worse year by year. In addition, my health is deteriorating and my sons don’t have the talent in managing my business, so I had to ask Xiao Xue to drop out of her university to help me to handle the company. At that point of time, Xiao Xue didn’t disappoint my expectations for her and she did have the talent in handling our business. Under her management, the company gradually improved. After a few years, she established a name for herself in Yunhai and no one was able to compete with us, the Wanmei Group, in Yunhai. However, all these years, the growth of the cosmetic products are very fast, especially for overseas products, and they occupy the majority of the market. Even in our country, their products are quite well known. That’s why, Wanmei Group may seem to be very successful, but it has been very long since we actually developed a new product. However, after we were acquainted with you, and you brought out the Rejuvenation Pill and Eternal Youth Pill to collaborate with Xiao Xue, this actually helped us turn our situation around. I also saw the reports on your pill, and the impact it has had on the cosmetics industry was very huge. The current Wanmei Group could be said to have endless potential and all this was thanks to you, Xiao Yu,” Yang Tianhu looked at Cheng Yu while saying seriously.

“Grandpa Yang, you are really overpraising me. All these are thanks to Xiao Xue. I only contributed the formula and the rest was handled by Xiao Xue. If there wasn’t the excellent management from Xiao Xue, all this wouldn’t have happened.”

“I know. I know that Xiao Xue also contributed towards this success. However, without your formula, no matter how capable Xiao Xue was, it was impossible for her to create such successful pill. So, it could be said that the current success of Wanmei Group was all created by you. When I saw the Wanmei Group that I established had this great success, this old man here was very happy. Also I want this success to last for generations and need someone as capable as Xiao Xue to handle it, so after discussing with Xiao Xue, we have decided to give 50% of the company shares to you,” Yang Tianhu passed Cheng Yu the sealed envelope.

“No way. Grandpa Yang, the joke you play this time is way too big. Wanmei Group was established by you, how can you give it to someone else like that?” When he heard what Yang Tianhu said, Cheng Yu was startled. He didn’t expect this old man to use this sort of method to pull him into their company.

“Xiao Yu, listen to me. Although it’s true that the Wanmei Group was established by me, I always wished for it to grow further. Besides, if the company were to be managed by you, I will definitely feel relieved.”

“Impossible. In any case, I will not accept it. I can’t do such thing. The Wanmei Group exists as this establishment today because Xiao Xue and you have put in all your efforts to manage it. Although I helped you in the midst of bringing it to the success it has today, it still doesn’t belong to me.”

“Xiao Yu, listen to me. Even though the collaboration you had with Xiao Xue was 50:50 profit distribution and the 50% shares I am giving you, the agreement that you signed will not change. Furthermore, you will also become the company’s largest shareholder. In the future, whenever we collaborate, it will no longer be a partner relationship, but will be an internal matter inside the company,” Yang Tianhu laughed.

“It turns out that Grandpa Tian was thinking of such matters. I still think it’s better if Grandpa Tian were to keep the 50% shares himself. Even if you didn’t give me the shares, I will still collaborate with Xiao Xue. There isn’t a need for you to do such things,” After he knew why was Yang Tianhu giving him such a large percent of shares, Cheng Yu promised him.

Cheng Yu had never thought of collaborating with someone else at all. If he wanted to collaborate with someone, naturally the ideal partner would be his “future wife.”

“Xiao Yu, you also said we are like a family. Even if you were to become the largest shareholder of the company and manage the company, I believe you wouldn’t treat our Xiao Xue unfairly. For all these years, Xiao Xue has already been working very hard, and not only has she been finding ways to treat my illness, she also had to manage our company. This kind of suffering was very pitiful. As a lady, she wasted her prime on the company. I hope she will be able to find an ideal husband to take very good care of her so as to help her shoulder some of the responsibility. That’s why I hope you will be able to treat her well,” After numerous rejections from Cheng Yu, Yang Tianhu had to play the sentimental card.

“Grandpa Tian, aren’t you trying to betroth Xiao Xue to me?” When he heard what Yang Tianhu had said, Cheng Yu felt that something was very off.

“What? You aren’t willing to marry my Xiao Xue?” When he saw Cheng Yu’s surprised expression, Yang Tianhu stopped smiling and said.

When Yang Ruoxue who was standing at the side heard what her grandpa said, she felt something was fishy. She felt that her grandpa was trying to marry her off to someone else. Suddenly, she felt her cheeks burning as she looked at Cheng Yu for his reaction. She was shocked, could it be he was really unwilling to marry her?

“Haha! What is Grandpa Yang talking about? Of course I’m willing. I have been dreaming to marry Xiao Xue and bring her back home. However, you said it too suddenly, causing me to feel puzzled,” Cheng Yu replied excitedly. He winked at Yang Ruoxue while replying, causing her to feel shy, yet at the same time furious.

“That will be great. Sign here, or don’t even think about getting our Xiao Xue.”

“Alright, but if you were to give me these shares, how much would be left for Xiao Xue?” Cheng Yu looked at their expressions before he nodded and promised.
