Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 275: Now It’s My Turn to Threaten You_1

"What’s your idea of cooperation?"

Xiao Ming leaned back into the sofa, his eyes not on Guan Ruiming but on the curve of Lu Lichun’s seated hips.

Today, this woman was wearing a light blue OL uniform dress, the pale color visually enlarging her figure, making her buttocks appear much fuller than usual, and extremely pleasing to the eye.

Guan Ruiming noticed his gaze and a hint of anger appeared on his face.

You should know, Lu Lichun is his own aunt by marriage.

"It seems Mr. Xiao isn’t very interested in my proposal."

Xiao Ming smiled faintly, but did not respond to him immediately. Instead, he instructed Lu Lichun, "Go pour me a drink. There’s soda water in the fridge, a third of it will do."

Lu Lichun immediately got up and walked to the liquor cabinet.

Xiao Ming watched her full moon move like a lecherous ruffian.

"Mr. Guan’s speaking too soon. Whether I’m interested or not depends on whether your company’s terms are attractive enough.

You haven’t even stated them, yet you want me to show great sincerity. That’s a bit too hypocritical."

Guan Ruiming suppressed his anger and arrogantly said, "Mr. Xiao has been in Lingnan for almost two months now, and he must have heard of our Wanhai Investment.

I think the mere fact we are willing to cooperate with your company is already quite generous, isn’t it?"

Xiao Ming raised an eyebrow, finally withdrew his indecent gaze, and said with full emotion, "Such confident rhetoric, it’s enviable!

I’ll have to learn that so I don’t have to go back and forth so much every time I make an acquisition."

Guan Ruiming snorted coldly, "That’s decided by strength, and can’t be learned just by studying."

"Well said. Then let me see the strength of your company.

How much does Wanhai plan to invest? What percentage of my company will you hold?"

While speaking, Lu Lichun placed a glass in front of Xiao Ming. As she was about to leave, her hand was grabbed, and she lost her balance, falling onto the seat next to Xiao Ming with a cry.

"You smell nice today."

In front of Guan Ruiming’s wide-eyed gaze, Xiao Ming leaned close to Lu Lichun’s neck, took a deep breath, and smiled, "Chanel No. 5, the most classic and foolproof choice. I like it. Just stay seated here."

Even as bold and flirtatious as Lu Lichun was, she blushed from his sudden teasing, especially in front of her husband’s nephew, and instinctively tried to rise.

But then, remembering her husband already knew of her infidelity, she bit her lip, settled into her seat, and even showed a flirty smile.

"No wonder there are so many outstanding beauties around you, Mr. Xiao. You really know women."

Guan Ruiming seemed a bit red-eyed with anger but in his gaze, along with the rage, there was also a hint of jealousy and excitement, almost as if he wished he were Xiao Ming.

"Aunt... Ms. Lu, please be mindful of your status!" he said sternly.

"What’s wrong?" Lu Lichun looked innocent, "Currently my status is CEO of Ruiye Electronics Holdings, is there any issue with sitting beside the Chairman of Ruiye?"

Guan Ruiming’s temples throbbed violently, and he felt like storming off in a fury, but he had to complete the task entrusted by his family elder and so tried even harder to contain his rage.

"Wanhai plans to engage in a stock swap with Ruiye, offering ten percent of Wanhai for fifty-one percent of Ruiye."

What the fuck! Right out the gate, they want absolute control, like I’m just an employee or something, why not just rob me?

Mentally cursing, Xiao Ming calmly asked, "What’s the current market value of Wanhai?"

"Around four billion."

Xiao Ming turned again to Lu Lichun, "Didn’t you tell him how much money our company has spent already?"

"I’ve said it, and I’ve said it in great detail."

"Then, I really can’t understand. Even if we leave aside registered capital and valuation, just our total foreign investment alone has already reached as much as 3.5 billion.

Wanhai takes shares worth only four billion and exchanges for our nearly eighteen billion stakes, a difference of more than four times, yet still says the terms are generous. On what basis?"

"On the basis of our ’Wanhai’ brand being worth that much," Guan Ruiming said with a proud face.

Xiao Ming shook his head: "I’m not short of money."

"But you lack power," Guan Ruiming sneered, "Mr. Xiao, known as a business elite, should understand the most important principle of doing business is to have smooth sailing."

"I’ve always been smooth sailing."

"That won’t last long."

Xiao Ming’s smile instantly faded, "Are you threatening me?"

Guan Ruiming really wanted to give a positive answer and insult Xiao Ming severely, but sadly, he couldn’t, nor did he dare.

The identity of his clan uncle was too sensitive, and he couldn’t leave any potential leverage.

Taking a deep breath, he said, "I’m just clarifying a very real and objective situation to Mr. Xiao."

"You talk so arrogantly, but it turns out you’re just a coward who can only move his lips!" Xiao Ming said with disdain.

Guan Ruiming clenched his fist, about to say something, but then heard Xiao Ming continue: "Since you don’t dare to threaten me, then let me threaten you for a change.

About a decade ago, Wanhai Investment, which was then called Wanhai Real Estate, developed its first project—a high-end apartment complex, which was also one of the earliest batches of luxury homes in Lingnan.

At that time, there was a holdout who was dissatisfied with the compensation and refused to move out, significantly delaying the schedule.

So, after a typhoon passed on one night, that family suddenly disappeared.

A family of three, from then on without a trace, no one saw them again."

Guan Ruiming’s face had already turned slightly pale upon hearing this, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Xiao Ming stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray, picked up his glass for a sip, seeming very pleased, and smiled again.

"Speaking of which, that high-end apartment complex may look a bit old now, but at that time, those who could afford a house there were without exception wealthy people.

I just don’t know whether they have ever heard the cries of that family of three coming from a pillar when parking in the underground garage late at night."

Guan Ruiming suddenly stood up, his expression one of absolute horror, as if that family of three was standing right behind Xiao Ming, covered in blood, staring at him.

Even Lu Lichun felt her scalp tingle and squeezed closer to Xiao Ming.

"How... how could you..."

Guan Ruiming stopped his startled questions in time, but his teeth chattered uncontrollably, and sweat beaded on his forehead, no longer showing an ounce of his previous arrogance. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

"I know many things, and that’s the biggest reason I can conduct business smoothly," Xiao Ming said in a low voice.

"Guan Ruiming, go back and tell the person who sent you here. I’m just a businessman, with no interest and no reason to trouble him.

But if he can’t see clearly what he really is, then I don’t mind enlightening him thoroughly.

Thinking of picking the fruits I’ve grown, he doesn’t have the qualifications.

Now, get lost!"

Guan Ruiming shuddered, turned, and left, his back in a flurry, not even caring for his own aunt anymore.
