Time Travel: The Queen's Coronation

On the night when Fengyi Group changed its owner, the Li brothers kept standing at my door. Even after I refused them many times, they still refused to leave. I had no choice but to invite them in.

"What's going on with you grown men standing at someone's doorstep late at night?" Rong Zixuan asked unhappily.

"Wei Qing, is it really impossible to discuss my mother's matter further?" Li Hewen asked helplessly.

"Yes, I have!"

My answer gave Li Hewen hope, "What is it?"

"Yao Ning's 10% stake!"

The four brothers of the Li family looked at each other, "Can it be a little less?" Li Hewen asked tentatively.

"No, not a single cent less than 10%!"

"You're asking for too much!" Li Congwen said dissatisfiedly.

"So what? You can choose to refuse. I just give you the choice, not force you!" I answered calmly.

"Can it really not be any less?" Li Hewen asked cautiously.

"No!" I answered firmly again.

"Wei Qing, I have 7% in my name. Is that okay if I give you all of it?" Li Xiaowen asked.

"No! I said 10% and that's 10%! There's no room for negotiation!"

"Okay, it's quite late now. You have already got the answer. It depends on how you make the choice now!" Rong Zixuan stood up to see the guests off, and the four brothers of the Li family could only return disappointed.

"Wife, will they agree? 10% is not a small amount. There are not many individuals in Yaoning who hold more than 10% of the shares. I don't think they will agree if you ask for so much." After sending the Li brothers away, Rong Zixuan sat down and asked me.

"They will agree!" I answered confidently.

"why?"

"Feng Yi is a cautionary tale! If they don't agree to my terms and we don't drop the lawsuit, Li Zhanwen's mother will definitely go to jail. Just imagine what a huge impact it would have if the spouse of a group leader went to jail! Can those investors and partners trust them? Without them, they will be left alone and helpless. It's only a matter of time before they are purged by the other brothers of the Li family!"

"Oh! But now they hold the majority of Yao Ning's shares! At most, both sides will suffer losses. How could they be reduced to a purge?"

"Business is like a pool of living water, with money flowing in and out. If they can't handle this situation well and no one cooperates with them, the water supply pipe will be dry, while the water outlet pipe will continue to flow. Over time, do you think the pool will be empty? Yaoning is a listed company. Even if Li Zhaohua is in control, he still has responsibilities to shareholders! If there is no profit, do you think those shareholders will hold him accountable? They may even withdraw their investment! The mess they have created will make the other brothers eager to kick them out and cut their losses!"

"But wouldn't that make us enemies with them?"

"What are you afraid of?! There are no eternal enemies in the business world, only eternal interests! And what they fear more is making enemies with us!"

"Why are they afraid of us? It's obviously us who are asking for too much this time."

"I told you to read more books, but you refused. Now that you're a boss, you should learn some business management knowledge!"

"I know, I know. Why don't you tell me why they are afraid of us first?"

"Look! Cheng Jun and we cooperated to successfully regain the management rights of Fengyi, and Fengyi has been in the hands of Cheng Yu and Cheng Zhi, father and son, for decades, but we were able to take it away in one day. This is absolute strength! Although Li Zhaohua is the eldest brother, he has three younger brothers under him. Especially the twin brothers Li Zhaobang and Li Zhaotang have been dissatisfied with Li Zhaohua for a long time! Their respective sons Li Shaoning and Li Rong have also been in contact with me recently, and they were also photographed and exposed by the media. It is impossible for them not to have seen it, so they will definitely agree to our conditions to calm down this incident. If they don't agree, they will have to sue us on the one hand, and deal with the infighting among their brothers on the other. They definitely don't want to be attacked from all sides. The most important point is that if our side is not properly handled, it is very likely to indirectly promote our cooperation with Li Zhaobang and others. They are also afraid that they will become the second Cheng Zhi, so agreeing to our request is the least costly!"

"Oh! Wife, you are so awesome!" Rong Zixuan looked at me with admiration.

"Starting tomorrow, you can also read books on business management, or read "The Art of War" or "Zizhi Tongjian"."

"No, why read those history books?"

"Reading history makes people wise!"

"Forget it, I'd better read some business and management books! History books make me sleepy. What I dreaded most in high school was classical Chinese. It's so pedantic, with a few words expressing a whole paragraph of meaning, and some of the words are homophones. It must have been exhausting for the ancients!"

"Then you should read some psychology books. After all, as a manager, you have to manage people, and reading psychology books will also make management easier."

"Can I not read it? I'm already tired from typing code." Rong Zixuan looked at me pitifully.

"cannot!"

"Ah! I didn't expect that I have to study to become a boss!" Rong Zixuan said in pain, covering his face.

The next morning, we had classes and left early. During the day, I kept getting messages from Li Zhanwen asking to meet after class, and I agreed. As soon as we finished class, Li Hewen was waiting at the door. He took us to a Chinese restaurant, this time with someone else: their father, Li Zhaohua. As soon as I sat down, Li Zhaohua started talking.

"Wei Qing, we agree to your terms! But you have to agree to an additional condition, which is that you cannot have any cooperation with my brother!"

"I can't agree to this!"

"Why? Do you want to cooperate with them to bring us down? We don't have much hatred towards each other! The 10% shares we gave you are enough to compensate for the harm and losses you suffered!" Li Congwen said excitedly.

"Look, you still have such a condescending attitude until now! First of all, it's true that 10% of the shares can make up for my losses, but the damage can't be made up! I was living a good life, but because I met Li Zhanwen, I suffered this sudden disaster for no reason. Your mother has slandered me in front of the media not only once but twice, saying that I am a slut and a married woman who seduced her precious son. My reputation has been greatly damaged! There are people who don't know the truth who are cyberbullying me. I have sued several of them. This kind of cyberbullying has exhausted me both physically and mentally. How can you make up for it? Secondly, I gave you the choice. The initiative is in my hands, not yours. Don't take over the reins!"

"You are still young and have a long way to go. Do you really have to go against us? Besides, it will do you no good to establish us as a strong enemy!" Li Zhaohua said calmly.

"How can you be so confident that you are my rivals? Dalanwan and Fengyi, we have fought twice, directly and indirectly, and you are far more fragile than I thought!" I said disdainfully, which surprised Li Zhaohua and made Li Hewen and others change their faces.

"Then how can you avoid cooperating with my brother and others?" Li Zhaohua said calmly.

"You keep trying to get me to agree not to cooperate with them, aren't you afraid of my ability? In other words, you don't have the confidence to fight against me! So where do you get the courage to bargain with me?" My contemptuous answer made the men of the Li family present feel embarrassed. They lowered their heads, not knowing what to say.

"This matter is our problem, and we owe you it, but you shouldn't get involved in the internal affairs of the Li family, and you shouldn't get involved in this muddy water!" After a minute of silence, Li Zhaohua remained calm.

"You can only fish in troubled waters!" I answered with a smile, but my smile must have frightened Li Hewen and the others, because their faces became even uglier, and even a little uneasy.

"When Ah He first mentioned you to me, he said that you are a rare talent and he wanted to recruit you, so I agreed. I didn't think it was a big deal that we didn't succeed in the end, because there are so many talented people. But today, I realized that you are extraordinary! Your courage and determination are far beyond what you can possess at your age. If... forget it! We will unconditionally agree to your request! You are such a smart person, you should know the pros and cons! But I'm sorry, we have caused you trouble! We are sorry for breaking the peace of your life!" After that, Li Zhaohua stood up and bowed to me. I was surprised, because I thought he must be an arrogant man with a wife like that. After all, people from the same family are alike!

"I'm very curious. How could a sensible man like you have such a unreasonable wife? And your children are all very good and can distinguish right from wrong. Are you sure they are your biological children?" I joked with a smile.

"Actually, although their mother is strict, she is a pretty good person. It's just that when she gave birth to A-Zhan, it was a difficult birth. A-Zhan almost suffocated to death when he was born, so she felt very guilty towards A-Zhan. She felt that if she had tried harder, A-Zhan would not have suffered. So she was particularly concerned about A-Zhan since he was a child, and over time, she may have changed. It's also my fault. I was too busy with business and didn't have time to take care of the family, leaving their mother to take care of everything alone, which put too much pressure on her."

"Is it because of the advanced maternal age? His mother must have been in her forties when she gave birth to him!" Rong Zixuan, who had been silent for a long time, spoke.

"Maybe!"

"Okay, since we have reached an agreement, let's leave it at this for now. I will let my lawyer contact you about the next matters. We have children at home, so I will leave first." I stood up and said to them, and drove Rong Zixuan home.

"Wife, you are amazing! You made them so angry that they dared not even breathe!" Rong Zixuan said to me while driving.

"They're still trying to scare me! I'm not afraid of them! In the face of absolute strength, I'm not afraid of anyone!"

"My wife is the best! Now that we have so many shares, our net worth is bound to skyrocket!"

"Of course, let's go back and have hotpot to celebrate!"

"No problem! Hold on tight!" Rong Zixuan stepped on the accelerator and rushed home.
