The Underground Emperor: Starting with Running Away with His Sister-in-Law

"Forehead..."

Ding Xin was slightly taken aback.

Is this the same Li Zhongjiu he knows who is saying these words?

Think of this.

Ding Xin decided to give this guy a try.

He simply didn't say anything, just stood up with a cigarette in his mouth.

He strolled leisurely to the wine cabinet and pulled out a bottle of his treasured foreign liquor.

He then leisurely returned to the sofa and sat down.

With a smile, she picked up an empty glass from the coffee table, poured some wine, and changed the subject: "It's okay if you don't like tea. I have some rare vintage wines here; try them, they're just as good as yours..."

Looking at the so-called good wine that Ding Xin took out.

Li Zhongjiu's eye twitched, and he suddenly felt an urge to flip the table.

Fuck!

What fine wine you've been collecting? You clearly stole it from him!

That's fucking shameless!

My thoughts were racing.

Ding Xin had already filled the wine glass and was smiling as he pushed it towards Li Zhongjiu: "Here, have a taste..."

At the same time, he was secretly observing Li Zhongjiu's expression.

Suppressing my emotions.

Lee Jung-gu picked up his wine glass, took a small sip, and tasted that familiar and beloved flavor.

pity...

The only downside is that it ended up in the hands of someone I dislike.

"call!"

Letting out a soft sigh, Li Zhongjiu, his face tense, spoke again: "Not bad, Executive Director Ding, the equity..."

"As long as you like it!"

Before he could finish speaking, Ding Xin interrupted with a smile: "I welcome you as a guest, and I would certainly agree to go into business with you, but..."

Ding Xin had already discerned a great deal from Li Zhongjiu's performance.

This guy is so patient...

There must be someone behind this!

It's highly likely that Shi Dong sent him to test the waters.

This old guy is currently in a "honeymoon period" with Ding Xin, and he probably can't bring himself to ask directly, so he sent Li Zhongjiu to scout ahead.

If...

Ding Xin hadn't paid much attention to this small amount of money before, and was open to the idea of ​​returning it or not.

So now...

He must block the path of refunding the money.

"Let's not talk about the equity. Although we have a good relationship, we must abide by the spirit of the contract. Besides, you're not short of money. We're both people of status, how can we go back on our word?"

Ding Xin's expression turned serious as he said this.

A business-like attitude.

Pause for a moment.

Before Li Zhongjiu could respond, Ding Xin changed the subject again, speaking in a consultative tone: "How about this, if you really feel you're at a disadvantage, then we can sign another agreement, granting me your preemptive right to purchase shares in proportion to your shareholding. What do you think?"

"Forehead..."

Li Zhongjiu was a little confused.

While feeling somewhat confused, my brain began to work at lightning speed, carefully pondering the meaning behind Ding Xin's words...

......

Chapter 340 Sweet Life

Time passed by minute by minute.

Seeing Li Zhongjiu remain silent and deep in thought, Ding Xin shook his head with amusement.

It would be a miracle if anyone could figure it out.

In reality, it's just a simple sales pitch, plus some psychological suggestion.

to be honest.

It's just that the original one-to-one exchange conditions have been changed by taking an extra detour.

However, it is a seemingly plausible but actually confusing twist that leaves people bewildered.

Perhaps some people can see through it instantly, but only those with extremely simple minds can do so.

Clearly, neither Li Zhongjiu nor Shi Dongchu behind him were among them.

"why?"

After thinking for a long time without coming up with a solution, Li Zhongjiu finally chose to ask directly: "What use do you want my right of first refusal?"

"It's no use..."

Ding Xin shrugged and laughed, "It's just an equal exchange. Think about it, according to your plan, you used 40 billion to exchange for my useless right-of-way agreement, so I'll use that 40 billion to exchange for your useless right-of-way agreement in return..."

In this way, isn't it essentially the same as getting your money back directly? It's just a different, more balanced approach...

Of course, this is only based on our friendship!

If someone else came to me about this, do you think I'd even bother with them?

"this..."

Li Zhongjiu subconsciously picked up his wine glass, took a sip, pondered for a moment, and said, "Then why don't you just refund my money and void the agreement?"

"But that would be too frivolous, and it wouldn't sound good to others..."

Ding Xin smiled and continued his brainwashing, "Think about it, if word gets out that you've simply scrapped the agreement, what will people think of you? They'll think you have no sense of contractual obligation, that you only take advantage of others and try to back out when there's nothing to gain..."

As he finished speaking, Ding Xin's voice rose slightly.

This was to remind Li Zhongjiu that his demand to cancel the agreement was unreasonable.

After a pause, Ding Xin continued, "But my method is different. Putting aside the 40 billion, it's essentially an agreement for an agreement. The contract is still in place, so we don't have to worry about criticism if word gets out. This is all for your own good, don't you think?"

"I believe you ghost!"

This is what Li Zhongjiu is thinking at this moment.

Seeing Ding Xin's expression that said, "I'm doing this all for your own good," Li Zhongjiu became even more hesitant.

He always felt something was wrong.

But he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong. In any case, the more Ding Xin said it, the less he believed it.

Ding Xin slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, looking at Li Zhongjiu's conflicted expression, and smiled, "Business is business. I certainly can't just cancel this agreement. If you want your 40 billion back, then do as I say. I guarantee that as soon as the agreement is signed, I'll immediately transfer the money to you. You should know that I don't need that little bit of money..."

Completely bewildered, Li Zhongjiu failed to realize that he seemed to have forgotten about the 40 billion yuan; his mind was now consumed by Ding Xin's desire for his shares...

This is a typical case of paranoia. Everyone has a little bit of it to some extent. When it comes to issues that may affect one's own interests, one will subconsciously build a psychological defense.

This is self-protection, and it's also a human instinct.

"never mind!"

Ultimately, Li Zhongjiu couldn't get over his inner turmoil. He downed his drink in one gulp and said with a stiff face, "Just pretend I didn't say anything..."

I knew it would be like this!

"hehe..."

Ding Xin grinned and chuckled.

Sure enough, Li Zhongjiu is a simpleton, easy to fool.

"Oh, right..."

Ding Xin seemed to suddenly remember something, slapped his thigh, and laughed, "You've come at the perfect time today. I was actually planning to come find you..."

As they were talking, Ding Xin put down his crossed legs and picked up the wine bottle on the coffee table.

While refilling Li Zhongjiu's empty glass, she continued, "I recently stumbled upon some information that, if you can seize the opportunity, might allow you to reap some benefits..."

"News? Benefits?"

Li Zhongjiu's face showed a mixture of doubt and anticipation.

be honest.
