Chapter 444: Chapter 327: Sweet Moments of the Young Master and Young Madam_2
“Young Master, Mr. Jianming and Mr. Jianyu have arrived.”
“Let them in.”
Mo Shiting’s smile vanished from his face, leaving behind a serious expression.
Following his command, the brothers Mo Jianming walked in one after another, accompanied by a middle-aged man carrying a briefcase. He was Wei Ming, one of the members of the Mo family’s legal team.
“Young Master Mo.”
Lawyer Wei respectfully greeted Mo Shiting.
“Sit.”
Mo Shiting indicated nonchalantly.
Once everyone had taken their seats, Mo Jianming chimed in first. “Shiting, after serious consideration, we have decided to hand over the control of the Mo family to you. We will no longer interfere with the company’s operations, only receive our yearly dividends. However, you must pay everyone 50 billion. Lawyer Wei has already drafted up the agreement; everyone has signed, you only need to sign.”
After Mo Jianming zealously finished presenting his demands, the room fell eerily silent.
Lu Yang’s lips thinned, wishing he could curse out loud: How shameless! 50 billion? Without the support of the Xinghe Group, the total market value of Mo’s is just hundreds of billions. They were merely giving up their controlling rights, not selling their shares. How dare they demand 50 billion? Did they plan to rob him? If it were him, he would have thrown them out with a chair. Young Master Mo, being good-tempered, didn’t.
Of course, as angry as Lu Yang was, he couldn’t do more than bottle it up due to his status. He hoped that Shiting would stand his ground and not be overrun by these leeches.
What Mo Shiting was thinking was very similar to Lu Yang’s thoughts.
But he remained impassive, not uttering a word.
Seeing Mo Shiting’s hesitation to respond, Mo Jianming and Mo Jianyu could not help but exchange glances.
Adjusting his glasses on the bridge of his nose, Mo Jianyu tried to persuade Shiting. “Shiting, as you know, the Mo family is our lifeblood. Now, all your uncles and aunts are willing to fully entrust it to you, a sign of their trust in you. Think about it: with your capabilities, not to mention 50 billion, even if it were 500 billion, you could easily earn it back in no time. Isn’t it worth spending money on peace?”
“Exactly, Shiting. As long as you make this payment, we promise never to interfere with any of your decisions again!”
Mo Jianming stressed his point once more.
“Heh… ”
Mo Shiting sneered, glancing slightly at Wei Ming, who was silently sitting to one side, and nonchalantly asked, “Lawyer Wei, what do you think?”
Wei Ming’s heart shuddered. As experienced as he was, he still felt uneasy in front of Mo Shiting. He even ended up going awry: “I… I… naturally, find it somewhat improper.”
Having said this, he dared not look at the glaring eyes of the Mo brothers.
Alas, he thought, how unlucky was he to be caught up in this negotiation with Mo Shiting, where no matter which side he took, he would offend the other.
No matter, thought Wei Ming. It is always wise to know one’s circumstances, and no matter what, he could not offend Young Master Mo.
“Lawyer Wei, you—”
Mo Jianming was so angry that the veins on his forehead were throbbing, his trembling finger pointing at Wei Ming, “Traitor.”
“I’m sorry, President Mo, I …”
Wei Ming hurriedly wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, his heart full of anxiety.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Mo Shiting spoke leisurely, “I also find it unsuitable. 50 billion is too little.”
Boom!
The room was flooded with astonishment as his words echoed.
Lu Yang was wide-eyed with shock and blurted out, “Young Master?” Had he gone mad? What on earth was his master planning?
When they heard Mo Shiting’s cryptic words, Mo Jianming and Mo Jianyu felt a lump in their throats, sensing that his intentions were not friendly.
Indeed, the next second, he coldly declared, “How could 50 billion K Nation Currency be enough? Let’s do it this way, 100 billion K Nation Currency.”
“What?”
Mo Jianming thought he was hearing things and took a few moments to grit his teeth in protest, “100 billion K Nation Currency, by the current exchange rate, it’s not even 50 million Hua Country currency. Are you trying to dismiss us like beggars?”
“You don’t want it? Then we have nothing to discuss. Lu Yang, see them out.”
“Yes, Young Master.”
Seeing the greedy brothers take a loss, Lu Yang was thrilled. As far as he was concerned, even offering them 50 million was giving them too much credit. Why should his young master clean up their mess and have to pay for it?
“Gentlemen, this way please.”
Lu Yang pointed grandly towards the door, clearly indicating their departure.
Mo Jianming hadn’t expected Mo Shiting to be so resolute, his face darkened: “Mo Shiting, remember I’m your cousin. The Mo family name belongs to both of us. Are you really going to treat us this way? Aren’t you afraid our ancestors will blame you?”
