C3 Stalling Tactics
Soong Yuluo said in an apologetic tone, "Third Young Master, it's easy to purchase the company and give it to you. But, Master has a condition and that is only if you agree to marry the Young Madam of the Su Family. If you say yes, we can get it done immediately."
Hearing this, Lin Muyun became frustrated and he said, "I'm already married. Doesn't he know?"
"Of course, Master knows," Soong Yuluo continued, "but he still hopes that you can divorce currentyour wife, saying that Lau Family is way out of your league. He also compromised that if you agree, all the resources of Lin Family will be at your disposal. If you don't agree, then there is nothing I can do for you."
For a moment, Lin Muyun didn't reply as he thought to himself, "If we can't pass this hurdle and my father-in-law would end up in prison, Lau Qingyan will definitely suffer a heavy blow. I am her husband, but I have stayed being powerless for so long, unable to help her for three years. This time, when I can help with something, I cannot just stand by and do nothing."
As for now, he decided to use a stalling tactic as he spoke, "Alright, you inform to old master that I agree to his demand, but not now. Give me a year's time and let me help Qingyan get through this crisis first!"
Hearing this, Soong Yuluo's eyes were brimmed with happiness as he said joyfully, "Okay, young master! We've waited for four years by now. It doesn't matter if we have to wait another year!"
With that, he immediately prepared to start the process as he said to Lin Muyun, "I'll start purchasing the Wanhao Company from its parent company. You can come over to Wenhao now and prepare for the transition. I'll be waiting for you right here."
Lin Muyun blinked and asked in surprise, "You are in Jinling?"
Soong Yuluo quickly responded, "Young master, I have been here since the day you came to Jinling."
Lin Muyun almost rolled his eyes as he heard this, also thinking that he had implicated other people to suffer along with him during these years after all. He responded while rubbing his nose, "Okay, I will go now."
Lin Muyun knew that Soong Yuluo's style of doing things was swift, direct, and reliable.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have become the chief steward of the Lin Family.
With his help, acquiring the Wanhao Company would be a piece of cake.
Therefore, Lin Muyun immediately turned to Xu Feng as he requested, "Mom, wait here for a moment. I'll go and figure out a way!"
Xu Feng's face was as if she had heard the most ridiculous joke and she cursed in hatred, "What the hell are you saying? You still want to figure out a way with that useless head of yours? If you are asking for my permission, hurry up and leave. You don't need to come back!"
Lin Muyun did not bother to argue with her and strode towards the street where he immediately stopped a taxi. After getting into the car, he said to the driver, "Go to the Wanhao Company!"
The driver nodded and immediately set out. There was no one who did not know about Wanhao Company since it was the biggest company in Jinling.
Not to mention that its parent company was a multinational corporation in Hong Kong, which was also one of the top 500 companies in the world.
However, even its parent company was just like a fly's thigh in front of the Lin Family, unable to compare with even the smallest branch company of Lin Family.
The Lin Family's industries covered the entire world and they were so wealthy to the point that they could rival a country's wealth.
Ten minutes later, Lin Muyun stood at the entrance of the Wanhao Company.
At this time, a middle-aged man dressed in ordinary clothes ran over quickly. His eyes were full of tears as he exclaimed emotionally, "Third Young Master, I finally meet you face to face after so many years!"
It was Soong Yuluo.
As the spokesperson of the Lin Family, Soong Yuluo was regarded as a superior existence even if he was standing with the presidents of the top 500 companies. However, in front of Lin Muyun, he didn't even dare to straighten his back as he greeted admiringly.
This was the basic courtesy of servant to his master.
Lin Muyun asked Soong Yuluo, "Old Soong, have you bought the Wanhao Company?"
"Yes!" Soong Yuluo nodded and informed, "Three minutes ago, according to your needs, our manager in Hong Kong quickly signed an agreement with president from their parent company. From now on, the Wanhao Company belongs to you alone!"
Lin Muyun frowned and tried to confirm, "Is the president from the Wanhao Company called Zhang Quanming and his son called Zhang Wenhao?"
"That's right," Soong Yuluo said, "Zhang Quanming is the nominee president of Wanhao Company. In fact, he doesn't have any shares."
A ruthless light flickered in his eyes as Lin Muyun immediately said, "I want to fire him and his son. Get them out of Wanhao Company today!"
At the sight of Lin Muyun expression, Soong Yuluo reassured him, "Young master, since you are the owner of the Wanhao Company, you have every rights to fire them. Why don't you become the president of the Wanhao Company by yourself."
Lin Muyun frowned as he heard this. He didn't have any intention to become the president by himself.
"Me? president? Forget it."
He didn't want others to know his identity.
Even if he did all this for Lau Qingyan, he did not want Lau Qingyan to know who he truly was.
These few years, he had already gotten used to being called and acting like a loser. He felt relaxed during the days he stayed by Lau Qingyan's side. Although he would be looked down upon by others occasionally, this kind of dull life and freedom was the one that truly moved him and made him relish in the moments.
Thus, after thinking about it, he asked Soong Yuluo, "Who is the vice president of Wanhao Company?"
Soong Yuluo quickly answered, "The vice president is called Wang Lixue."
"Okay!" Lin Muyun resolutely made a decision, "He must be here, right? Let's go find this Wang Lixue. I want to make him the president of Wanhao."
After a while, they rode the elevator, going up to the top floor where the higher ups worked.
When Lin Muyun and Soong Yuluo walked out of the elevator, a woman dressed in a short OL uniform happened to pass by them.
As she observed the two strange-looking people, she saw that Lin Muyun was wearing a fake Adidas, and Soong Yuluo was also wearing an inconspicuous outfit which were completely out of place for this floor. She frowned and stopped them, "Hey! Who are you two? This is our executive office area. Who told you to come up here?"
Lin Muyun narrowed his eyes and looked back at her coldly. This woman was quite pretty, but the way she dressed and spoke were a bit vulgar and so, her first impression in Lin Muyun's eyes already went down a lot.
When the woman noticed Lin Muyun's cold gaze, she said angrily, "Where are you looking at? How shameless! Are you trying to make a commotion in the Wanhao Company? Hurry up and get out of here! Otherwise, I'll call security to drag you out of here!"
This woman grimaced in disgust at the sight of Lin Muyun and Soong Yuluo's appearance. Usually, those who came to this floor were all well-dressed and they were either rich or noble. Why were there two losers today?
Lin Muyun frowned and said coldly, "I am here to find President Wang Lixue. Where is he?"
The woman curled her lips and mocked, "You are not an idiot, are you? Wang Lixue is the vice president, and our president is Zhang Quanming! You don't even know who the president of the company is!"
Xu Li was instantly in a very bad mood.
She was the administrative director of the Wanhao Company and was in charge of all internal affairs. Her annual salary was over two million yuan and she was usually very arrogant. In fact, the only way she could climb to her current position was by sleeping with President Zhang Quanming. Therefore, she was completely focused on Zhang Quanming like a dog who constantly tried to carry favor with him.
In the company, everyone was aware that Zhang Quanming had always been at odds with Vice President Wang Lixue. Zhang had always been looking for an opportunity to drive Wang away in order to hand over vice president's position to his son, Zhang Wenhao. So, naturally, as Zhang Quanming's dog, Xu Li was naturally very hostile towards Wang Lixue, speaking bad things about him in front of employees now and then.
Now that she had heard Lin Muyun call Wang Lixue president, she became very upset.
At this moment, Lin Muyun became impatient and was somewhat annoyed. He retorted coldly, "If I say Wang Lixue is the president, then he is the president. Do you have any problem with that?"
Getting told off in this kind of superior tone, Xu Li felt rage and she shouted in disgust, "Who do you think you are? You can't even afford an original Adidas suit. Do you notice that your Adidas clothes have four lines? Get the hell out of here! I'll have the security guard come over now!"
At this time, Soong Yuluo couldn't bear it anymore and stepped forward to warn with a grave expression, "This woman, do you know who he is? You-" before Soong Yuluo could finish, Lin Muyun raised his hand, indicating for him to stop and said, "Don't bother. Call Wang Lixue and ask him to deal with this woman."
Xu Li immediately exploded, "Who the hell are you talking about? What do you think Wang Lixue can do to me? Let me tell you, Wang Lixue is nothing in my eyes!"
Having President Zhang Quanming as a background protection, Xu Li naturally did not take Wang Lixue seriously.
At this time, Soong Yuluo had already called Wang Lixue and he said to the other party, "I'm Soong Yuluo from the Lin's Corporation. I'm at the elevator entrance right now. Come here immediately!"
Wang Lixue had just heard that the Wanhao Company was purchased by the Lin's Corporation out of blue. Just when he was wondering why the company was suddenly handed over, he received a call from Soong Yuluo.
As soon as he hung up, he hurriedly ran out of the office and saw Xu Li holding her waist with one hand and the other hand rudely pointing at Lin Muyun as she cursed madly, "Just you wait. I will let the security guards teach you a lesson, you idiots!"
The veins in Wang Lixue's temple bulged and he immediately shouted, "Xu Li! As the administrative director of the company, is this how you talk to the guests?"
Xu Li turned her head to look at him and did not take it seriously as she scoffed, "These two good-for-nothings came over to disrespect President Zhang under my nose. As the company's executive director, I naturally have the right to punish them on behalf of the company. Do you have any control over that?"
Wang Lixue shouted angrily, "Your behavior has thoroughly damaged the image of the company. From now on, you are fired! Get out of here right this instant!"
Xu Li curled her lips as she chuckled in sarcasm, "Fire me? Who do you think you are?"
She immediately took out her phone and called President Zhang Quanming while glaring at the people in front of her. As soon as the call was picked up, she spoke in a soft and flattering voice, "President Zhang, Wang Lixue wants to fire me. He wants me to get lost immediately."
A man's rough voice came from the other side of the phone, "Is this Wang Lixue courting death? Where are you right now? I'll be right there!"
