C71 (1/2)
After entering the private room, Qi Hua looked around to see that all the guests had arrived. His lips curved into a smile as he walked to the empty seat and sat down.
”Sorry, I came a bit late. Please forgive me, women always take more time before they leave.”
”It's fine. There's an old saying that a woman looks like a person who enjoys herself. I didn't believe it at first because I felt that love for beauty was a woman's nature and would not change just because of men. Now that I've seen the change, I have no choice but to believe it.” As he spoke, Chen Min intentionally glanced dubiously at Mu Chen, who was sitting next to Qi Hua.
Mu Chen raised his head to look at Chen Min, his firm lips first pursed, then he laughed, ”It's been so long since I've seen you, yet you still speak so well. No wonder the Chen family's elders like you so much, I just don't know why you can't please your own wife.”
”Hahaha, everyone should be hungry. Come, come, come. Let's have some food first. We're old friends from many years ago, if there's any chance to chat again in the future, why be so hasty?” Seeing that the atmosphere had changed, He Yao hurriedly calmed down, stood up and poured wine for Mu Chen and Chen Ming.
Since the cooperation had been confirmed, Chen Min had no intention of making the scene too ugly. Therefore, he took the chance to take the steps set up by He Yao and walked down.
Qi Qi pretended to be concentrating on eating. She didn't look at Chen Min, but inwardly, she was cursing him for setting her on fire as soon as he arrived.
It could be said that to a certain extent, his position represented the Chen family. His performance today was either because he did not want to cooperate, or because he wanted to fish for more benefits in the cooperation. According to her analysis, the possibility of the latter was rather high.
But no matter what he planned to do, he was destined to never succeed today. As long as she and Mu Chen could get him to participate in the drug trade, they would have enough men outside to take action.
This time around, she and Mu Chen had prepared very well. All possible dangers had been taken into account, and the surrounding citizens had already been quietly evacuated the moment they entered the restaurant. They had also repeatedly confirmed that no one was staying in the building.
The reason everyone came here wasn't to eat anyway. After the atmosphere became a little better, Li Chen took the lead to start the topic they were going to talk about today.
”Everyone knows that we are all on the same boat right now, making money together and taking on risks together. So no matter what the outcome of the discussion is today, please remember, since we all came together, after we leave this restaurant, no one is allowed to go back on their words.”
Everyone looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
”Originally, we had already divided this chain of benefits. As descendants, Qi Qi Qi and Mu Chen naturally have to take less. Otherwise, wouldn't what we did before just become someone else's gift?” Chen Min was the first to express his opinion.
Qi Qi Jian heavily placed the cup on the table, but she was not in a hurry to fight for her own benefits. Instead, she asked, ”Then tell me how much you originally took, so that I can use it as a reference.”
”Not much, our Chen family got 30%, Li Chen originally got 40%, after all, he was the one who pulled the strings, he also found the overseas sources, He Yao is in charge of bulk goods, and this part is also very important, so he got 30%.”
With this, Chen Min's crime could be considered settled. Whether or not he could bring down the Chen Family, at least the reputation of the Chen Family, even if they could be separated from the main family, without the successor, the Chen Family would not have any great achievements for the next 30 years. Besides, whether or not they could get rid of all the culprits, there was still a need for further explanation!
”Then, how much are you willing to split the profits? Previously, I had an agreement with Li Chen, but I want 30% with Mu Chen.”
”I don't agree with that. There are four of us in total, and even if Li Chen gave us only 30%, even if He Yao and I were unwilling, we would at least give them a portion for fairness. Wouldn't that be less than the share given by you and Mu Chen? Why do you have to take the bigger share later on?”
As it was a matter of interest, Chen Min wasn't prepared to act magnanimous.
Fang Zhijun sat at a corner of the dining table, watching as these high and mighty Second Generation Officials revealed such an ugly expression for money. The corner of his mouth raised into a mocking smile.
Mu Chen looked thoughtfully at Fang Zhijun, his eyes turning colder. This man was one of the variables in his plans from the beginning. The only reason he tolerated going up the mountain was because he had the confidence to crush him.
I don't care how you guys split it, I will just put it down here, I want 30% of the profits from Mu Chen and I. If you agree, then we will work together, if you don't agree, then I don't care, after all, the one who invested so much money is not me. Qi Qi acted like a dead pig that was unafraid of boiling water and refused to give any room for negotiation.
He had always been a person of high standing. Normally, he would always be flattered by others, but never had he suffered such humiliation. Even if he knew that he could not be impulsive now, he could not control his temper.
I originally thought that Mu Chen was the one who was hard to bite, but I didn't expect that you, Zheng Qi, would be the tough one. Since you don't have the sincerity to negotiate, then I don't need to lick my face and ask for your cooperation.
Seeing that things were about to break down, He Yao stood on the side, extremely anxious. However, when he looked at Li Chen, he found that he was only lowering his head and drinking tea silently.
