Chapter 214: Chapter 214 You’ve Been Deceived

“`

In the Bentley.

Wang Dalin and his son were seated in the back.

Wang Xiaocong mentioned Xu Yang’s wish to acquire Shengda Literature, emphasizing Xu Yang’s perspective, before asking, “Dad, what do you think? Is it worth investing in?”

Wang Dalin was silent for a long time before he sighed, “This Xu Yang is truly remarkable. He has actually seen this opportunity.”

Wang Xiaocong’s eyes lit up, “Dad, do you mean it’s worth the investment?”

Wang Dalin nodded, “Absolutely worth investing in. I’ve been looking for ways to improve the upstream construction of Wandai Film and Television, and I hadn’t come up with any effective methods. Acquiring Shengda Literature would perfectly fill this gap. You know, nowadays many screenwriters write such a mess of TV drama scripts. There are hardly any excellent works in the entire industry. By adapting those popular online novels, there’s no issue at all, and those popular online novels naturally come with a fan base. As long as they are adapted, half the success is already there.”

Wang Xiaocong nodded repeatedly, “Okay, I’ll join him in taking down Shengda Literature.”

The father and son discussed it further, and when they returned to the hotel, Wang Xiaocong called Xu Yang.

The call was quickly answered.

“Old Wang,” Xu Yang had just returned to the company.

“Xu Yang, I just talked with my dad, and he says you’re incredible for discovering this investment opportunity. It’s definitely worth investing in, and my dad will put up the money to join you in the acquisition of Shengda Literature.”

“My dad says this acquisition is up to you. After you’ve considered it, just let me know how much money I need to come up with and what share I will get. My dad will actively reallocate funds. Once the funds are in place, we can proceed with the acquisition.”

Wang Xiaocong was somewhat excited, sensing a huge return on investment in the future.

“Okay, stay in Jiang City for the next few days. Once I have everything figured out, we’ll go to Shengda Literature to negotiate together,” Xu Yang said.

“I’m still not influential enough; with your participation, we won’t be too passive in negotiations and prevent Shengda Literature from raising their price too much,” Xu Yang felt that bringing Wang Xiaocong into the negotiations was definitely a major advantage.

He did not want Shengda Literature to underestimate him if he went alone.

Despite having some strength, his depth was still insufficient.

With Wang Xiaocong there, Shengda Literature would presumably not dare to quote an exorbitant price.

“No problem. I don’t have anything significant to deal with. Whether I return to the capital or not doesn’t matter. I’ll stay in Jiang City; it’s like a vacation. Once you have things ready, let me know, and we’ll negotiate together,” Wang Xiaocong readily agreed.

“Alright,” Xu Yang nodded.

After chatting a few more sentences, they ended the call.

Putting down the phone, Xu Yang pondered carefully.

What would be a suitable share to offer to Wang Xiaocong?

In the evening, after returning home.

After having dinner with Zhao Yuxin, Xu Yang shared the matter with her.

She was aware of every investment he made.

Xu Yang had nothing to hide from Zhao Yuxin.

“Husband, I support you, I believe in you. As long as you think the investment is viable, it’s certain to be profitable,” Zhao Yuxin truly had unconditional trust in Xu Yang.

“Thanks, my dear wife. It’s great to have you. With you, I’ve achieved what I have today,” Xu Yang held Zhao Yuxin in his arms.

“Husband, your achievements today are all due to your own efforts, they have nothing to do with me,” Zhao Yuxin didn’t think Xu Yang’s success was related to her.

“No, it does relate to you. Haven’t you noticed? Since we’ve been together, whatever I do seems to go smoothly. Whether it’s investments or anything else, I always make money. Without you, I couldn’t have achieved such success,” Xu Yang spoke the truth.

It was only after being with Zhao Yuxin that he had the system, and with the system, he was able to get to where he is now.

Without being with Zhao Yuxin, without the system, he would not be able to achieve what he had now.

“`

The person who deserves the most thanks is Zhao Yuxin.

“Honey, hearing you say that, it does seem true, hee hee, I’m so happy,” Zhao Yuxin felt a sweet delight inside her.

…

Meanwhile, Zhao Yulu returned home.

“You’re back, hungry, right? Go wash your hands and eat, I just finished cooking,” Liu Yujuan brought a dish out from the kitchen to the dining table.

“I really am hungry.” Zhao Yulu set down her bag, went into the kitchen to wash her hands, then came out to sit at the dining table.

She noticed that Liu Yujuan had prepared five dishes and a soup.

Braised fish, mushroom chicken, lion’s head meatballs, braised shrimp in oil, one vegetable dish, and the soup was winter melon pork rib soup.

“Mom, why did you cook so much?” Zhao Yulu filled a bowl with soup, took a sip, and then asked.

Usually, it was just the two of them, mother and daughter, and they would only make two meat dishes and one vegetable, and it wasn’t certain whether there would be soup or not.

Sometimes there was, sometimes not.

But today, with so many dishes and winter melon pork rib soup, it was a bit unusual.

“There’s good news today, so I made a bit more,” Liu Yujuan also filled a bowl with soup and began to drink.

“What good news?” Zhao Yulu asked curiously.

“Let’s eat first, we can talk after we’re done,” Liu Yujuan said with a smile.

Half an hour later, after finishing the meal, Liu Yujuan cleaned up the dishes.

The mother and daughter sat on the sofa.

“Mom, what’s the good news?” asked Zhao Yulu.

“Today, your mom made an investment, one with a high annual return of fifty percent…” Liu Yujuan explained how she had loaned money to Lu Wei, looking very proud, “A return of five hundred thousand a year, that’s comparable to a small company’s senior manager. I’m impressive, aren’t I?”

“An annual return of fifty percent, how is that possible? You must have been scammed!” Zhao Yulu didn’t believe lending some money could yield a fifty percent return.

That was definitely impossible, the boss had to be a fraudster.

“How could I be scammed? We signed a contract, and I looked over it carefully, there’s no problem with it. Plus, all my friends have loaned money too. We’re all shrewd people; how could we be scammed?” Liu Yujuan was slightly upset.

She was boasting about her wise decision, an investment with extraordinary returns.

But upon hearing it, Zhao Yulu immediately said she had been scammed. How could she be happy?

“Mom, all of you have been scammed. It can’t possibly yield such a high return. Besides, he runs a restaurant; he must have quite a bit of money. And even if he doesn’t have cash, he could mortgage his house or car. It doesn’t make sense that he’d need to borrow even renovation money,” Zhao Yulu still believed her mother had been scammed.

“Do you think I hadn’t thought of that? He does have money, but it’s all in stocks, and he’s currently stuck, not wanting to sell at a loss. His house is already mortgaged, but it’s still not enough, so he wants to borrow a little. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have such an investment opportunity,” Liu Yujuan said.

“I still think it’s unreliable,” shook her head Zhao Yulu.

“Don’t worry, when I get five hundred thousand a year from now, you’ll see if I’m reliable or not,” Liu Yujuan was not worried at all.

“I think you should still ask your friends to get the money back. He must be a scammer. If he runs off with the money, you’ll have nowhere to cry,” Zhao Yulu said.

“You’re just worrying needlessly. How could the boss run away? His restaurant is doing well, and I made some discreet inquiries. He’s been running it for over ten years, had good business before, and wouldn’t scam people over such a small amount of money,” Liu Yujuan stood firm in her belief.

“Okay, if you want to believe, then believe,” Zhao Yulu knew her mother’s temperament and didn’t want to argue further.

“By the way, guess who I saw today?” Seeing that her daughter kept suggesting she might be scammed, Liu Yujuan wanted to change the subject.

This was also the most important thing Liu Yujuan wanted to discuss with Zhao Yulu.

Only if Zhao Yulu and Xu Yang got back together, could she truly become Xu Yang’s mother-in-law.
