Chapter 154: It Was Ridiculous

After seeing Old Master Ding and Elder Jin leave, the other guests didn’t leave immediately. Instead, they looked at Cheng Ling with curiosity.

Old Master Cheng was the same. How come he didn’t know that Cheng Ling was so familiar with Old Master Ding and Elder Jin before this? And it seemed that today wasn’t the first time they met, but they had already interacted before.

The other guests naturally did not need Old Master Cheng to personally send them off. Old Master Cheng let Cheng Ming and Xie Wan do the job. He then waved at Cheng Ling.

“Cheng Ling, come here.”

After saying that, Old Master Cheng walked into the Cheng residence by himself. However, Cheng Ling did not listen to him and stood still.

Old Master Cheng had walked a few steps before he realized that Cheng Ling did not follow him.

He turned around and saw that Cheng Ling was still standing there. He could just turn back.

He had no choice as he needed a favor from Cheng Ling now.

“Cheng Ling, I see that Old Master Jin and Old Master Ding had a good chat with you just now? Did you know them before?”

The politeness and gentleness that she had when she was facing Elder Jin and Old Master Ding just now had disappeared when she was facing Old Master Cheng now.

Cheng Ling only smiled faintly. “So what if we know each other? And so what if we don’t know each other?”

Lu Qi had been standing next to Cheng Ling like a knight next to a princess.

Old Master Cheng looked at Lu Qi, then he looked back at Cheng Ling. “You know that our Cheng Group is still in urgent need of an investment to get to the next level. Since you are so familiar with both of them, why don’t you help us put in a good word to them? With their help, the Cheng Group will definitely be able to achieve great things.”

After standing outside for a while, the effect of alcohol had been blown away by the night breeze. Cheng Ling was much soberer now. She glanced at Old Master Cheng and said, “Why should I help you? I’m not a member of the Cheng family, and you’ve never admitted it, have you?”

“Cheng Ling, what are you talking about? You’ve lived in the Cheng family for so long, how can we not treat you as a family member? And as long as you can help us get their investment, I can give you 5% of the shares of the Cheng Group.”

Before Cheng Ling could react, Lu Qi smiled.

Old Master Cheng had always been afraid of Lu Qi. Although at first, he had thought that Lu Qi was a sickly and unimportant person, after so long, he realized that the master of the Lu family seemed to have fulfilled Lu Qi’s every request. Moreover, Lu Qi had a temperament that the master of the Lu family did not have, which made Old Master Cheng, who had lived for more than 70 years, a little afraid.

He looked at Lu Qi and asked, “I wonder what Second Young Master is smiling at?”

Lu Qi stopped smiling. “Nothing. I just thought it was a little funny when I heard you say 5% of the shares. As far as I know, if the Ding and Jin families invest in your group, they could have bought the Cheng Group directly. But Cheng Ling, as a direct helper, could only get 5% shares. Don’t you think it’s ridiculous?”

Old Master Cheng was embarrassed by Lu Qi’s words.

He didn’t expect Lu Qi to know so much about these things.

Lu Qi played along and didn’t embarrass Old Master Cheng in front of so many guests.

“Old Master Cheng must have said something wrong just now. You have actually wanted to give Cheng Ling 50% of the shares, right?”

50%?

Cheng Ming’s family behind Old Master Cheng widened their eyes. How was that possible!

Cheng Ming only had 30% of the shares now. The other 65% was still in Old Master Cheng’s own hands, and the other 5% was in the hands of different minority shareholders.

Old Master Cheng wasn’t even willing to give more shares to his own son, so how could he give 50% of the shares to Cheng Ling all of a sudden?

Sure enough, Old Master Cheng was also unwilling. “50%? This… Cheng Ling is still young, so it’s useless to keep these shares. Of course, these shares will still be given to Cheng Xiao and Cheng Ling in the future.”

These words sounded nice, but who would believe it.

But even if no one believed it, no one would expose Old Master Cheng’s lie.

Cheng Ling smiled. “Don’t try to paint a big cake for me here. Give me the shares in the future? I’m not drunk yet, so I won’t believe your words.”

Old Master Cheng was also anxious at this moment.

“Cheng Ling, I promise you, if you can really pull in investment for our company, then 50% of the shares will be transferred to you immediately.”

Not to mention anything else, even if he held 65% of the shares now, but leaving the Cheng Group to Cheng Ming to manage did not make much money. If he got the investment, then the shares would have doubled than before.

The number of shares was no longer important.
