Chapter 146: High-Tech Driverless Cars

(Striving for four or five Chapters tonight!)

Li Yan’s appearance was unexpected for Liu Yuyang; it was a situation he hadn’t known about before. While he was at the Zhang Family earlier, in order to maintain a good mood and not show anything unusual in front of so many people, he hadn’t had much time to think it over. Originally, he intended to sit down and chat slowly with Li Yan in a quiet place, giving himself time to figure out his wording along the way. Unfortunately, Li Yan wasn’t accommodating just now, making him chase all the way here.

So, facing Li Yan’s uncertainty, Liu Yuyang pondered for a moment and slowly offered a lure: "Five million?"

"Five million? What do you mean?" Li Yan pretended not to understand.

Liu Yuyang didn’t believe he genuinely didn’t get it, and continued to analyze the pros and cons: "With your current annual income, it should not exceed fifty thousand, right? Since you’ve chosen to rely on a woman for a living at the expense of dignity, of course, you’ll gain more. But as I just said, you’re not someone who can lead a company successfully. The board won’t agree to transfer a large amount of shares under your name. If they insist, they might appoint another president or even change the chairman. So while you might enjoy a leisurely and luxurious lifestyle, not much will truly belong to you; perhaps just some pocket money, another piece of real estate, a car.

This is what you gain by marrying into a wealthy family. It may be much more comfortable than your current situation, not having to strive or struggle for a comfortable life, but it’s at the cost of a man’s dignity. I offer you five million; this is entirely yours! You could pretend it’s a lottery win, move to a small city, live a millionaire’s life, marry a wife, keep a mistress, buy a house and car, indulge in food and leisure. Even staying in S City would allow you to buy a house, get a car, marry, and enjoy a carefree life. Remember, you won’t have to look at others’ faces, but live like a high-and-mighty lord!"

Listening to his description, Li Yan found it secretly amusing while his face showed a look of yearning: "It really sounds good! But why would you give me five million? Are you crazy?"

"..."

You’re the crazy one! Liu Yuyang secretly scoffed, "We’re all men here. There’s no one else around, so I don’t mind being a bit frank. You gain a little by having Zhang Yurong, but if I get her, it could facilitate cooperation between our families, further advancing both our businesses. And with my skills and background, taking over Paradise Group is just a matter of time!"

Saying this, he was a bit proud. With his qualifications, capability, and family backing, if there’s a marriage alliance, it’s sure to receive strong support from directors and shareholders. That’s a win-win scenario; once gaining the Zhang Family’s trust, transferring shares would face no opposition.

"So you’re saying that given time, you could even take over Paradise Group? Or perhaps the Zhang Family, and control Paradise Group? Damn, and with the impact on your family’s business, you’re likely to profit hundreds of billions, aren’t you? You’re just giving me a few million to dismiss me? Pulling a hair, eh!" Li Yan pretended to be greedy.

Liu Yuyang, of course, knew how to calculate. Offering five million was already a high price. Seeing Li Yan’s dissatisfaction, he sneered: "Do you think that’s little? By yourself, could you gain even fifty-thousand? If Zhang Tianyi gets tired one day, he might dismiss you with just ten or twenty thousand!"

With threats and temptations, he felt his own threats earlier were insufficient and needed stronger medicine. Indeed, these things he mentioned are possible and doable; however, he’s only heard of them and hasn’t truly done them.

But as he spoke, a sudden chill made Liu Yuyang shiver inexplicably. The cold seemed to not only come from his back but well from within his heart! When he regained his senses about whether he felt this or not, it startled him a bit. Still, he didn’t think much of it, assuming it could be the tension from considering murder, plus the cold wind blowing outside. Of course, he wouldn’t actually kill anyone; even if Li Yan didn’t cooperate, the most he would do is have someone rough him up, or pursue Zhang Yurong directly, initiating a competition. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

In reality, he hadn’t regarded Li Yan as a threat, nor did he think he would lose to Li Yan. He was willing to spend money just to buy time because clearly Li Yan and Zhang Yurong had been dating for a while, perhaps several months, half a year, even longer, which was his disadvantage believed trying to court Zhang Yurong was something he could do anytime, didn’t expect the delay.

"Indeed, Yun Country lacks everything except people..." Li Yan murmured.

That chill Liu Yuyang felt wasn’t surprising or self-caused by considering murder; it arose when hearing Li Yan silently brew killing intent with those words!

Though he was clear Liu Yuyang was just boasting threats, likely wouldn’t dare send someone to kill him, let alone his family, using threat towards his family deeply angered Li Yan!

"Have you thought it through?" Liu Yuyang seeing Li Yan’s appearance, felt now he’d truly hit his weak spot, eagerly hurried.

Liu Yuyang observed Li Yan cool and calm, yet believed after analyzing the pros and cons and coupled with the threats and enticement, he would ultimately concede. That aligned with maximum interests!

Li Yan shook his head: "Impossible, Yurong is such a good girl, and is very kind to me. I won’t withdraw just because you offer me five million. I could offer you five million for you to stop bothering her, would you agree?"
