47. Outrageous deal
In the living room of Jin's main house, Jin Zhentian's private lawyer and assistant had been waiting there early. Seeing Jin Ge walk in, they stood up. The lawyer took out a file folder from his briefcase and handed it to Jin Ge.
"This is a document signed by Old Mr. Jin a few days ago, in which he transferred all his properties under his name to yours, and asked me to hand it over to you as soon as you return, along with the will previously set up by Old Mr. Jin, for you to decide whether it's still necessary to keep it."
Here is the translation:
Kim Geon pulled out a document from the folder and took a glance, looking at Kim Jeong-tae's signature on it. He sneered inwardly. Is this supposed to be an atonement? Making up for his past mistakes? Can handing over the entire Kim family business to me make up for his guilt towards me? His father was truly too naive.
He pulled out another document, a will that stated the Kim family's assets would be divided equally between Kim Geon and his younger brother Kim Hyeon. Song Yoon-ah would receive one-third of the cash assets. The main house of the Kim family would go to Kim Geon, while a newly purchased luxury mansion would be gifted to Song Yoon-ah and her son.
If things hadn't happened as they did before, this will might have remained in the lawyer's safe until it was read out after Kim Jeong-tae's passing. But now, following the new property transfer certificate signed by Kim Jeong-tae, this will had become nothing more than a worthless piece of paper.
"Let's put it off for now, I'll make a decision after my father wakes up. Lawyer Zhang has always been representing the Jin family and my father, so please continue to trouble you, thank you for your hard work!"
Jin Ge returned the will to Lawyer Zhang and bowed to him, re-establishing their host-guest relationship. Lawyer Zhang accepted the will and also bowed before taking his leave and departing.
"Tell me, what's going on here? How did the old man get so upset all of a sudden?"
After Zhang left, Jin Ge sat down on the sofa, looking up at his father's private assistant with a calm and expressionless face.
"I'm not very clear about what exactly happened, but early in the morning, the chairman asked me to accompany him to meet a lady. They agreed to meet at a coffee shop, and the chairman went in by himself, leaving me waiting outside. The meeting between the two didn't last long, only about ten minutes or so, before the chairman came out. As soon as I approached him, he fell to the ground, this is what was in his hand at that time."
The personal assistant was also bewildered and looked tense, handing over the things in his hand to Jin Ge.
"Who is that lady? Do you know?"
"It seems to be Mrs. Lee Han-seok, the wife of the CEO of CD Company."
"Uh-huh, I see. You go ahead first, if anything comes up, I'll call you."
After sending away his father's private assistant, Jin-geol opens the things handed over by the assistant, and it is another stack of photos. The main characters are still Song Yun-ah and Park Soon-ae, but the content of the photos is more explosive than before.
Jin Ge slightly furrowed his brow, no wonder the old man would be stimulated to burst blood vessels. As a man, he couldn't bear his woman betraying him and making him wear a green hat. The old man was indeed infuriated. It turned out that this was Song Yun'er's trump card in being certain that Piao Shunyi would help her. She really knew how to calculate things. After all, Piao Shunyi was younger than her own father and lived longer. By climbing up to him, even if her husband died, she wouldn't be left empty and lonely.
When did these two get together? How long has it been? Jin Ge slowly calculated in his mind, a thought flashed by, and another possibility made him have to doubt in his heart - was Jin Xianzhong the child of his father?
Ye Zi walked in from outside the door, and asked Jin Ge to go have a meal. Jin Ge handed over the photo in his hand, "Is this the trump card you said that Pu Shunyi would be willing to be used?"
"Is the photo from that day also from the same person who sent it?"
The leaves flipped through the photos, comparing them with the previous ones in her mind and making an accurate judgment.
"The old man's assistant said it was Mrs. Li from the CD company who asked to meet him, and when he came out, he had this thing in his hand, which should have been given to him by Mrs. Li."
"So, it seems that the previous photos were also sent by her. The Li family has always been a good person who doesn't offend anyone, and there's no news of any business conflicts between the Li and Park families. What is Mrs. Li thinking, provoking the Park family so openly?"
"There will always be something to gain from this. Since she has already found the old master, if he falls, he will definitely come looking for me again. No rush, I'll just wait."
Sure, here is the translation:
As expected, two days later, Mrs. Li Zheng Mingzhu made an appointment with Jin Ge.
Jin Ge sat leisurely in his chair, gazing at Zheng Mingzhu who was dressed in sparkling jewelry across from him. His fingers tapped rhythmically on the armrest as he waited for Zheng Mingzhu to speak.
Across from him, Zheng Mingzhu was also savoring the fragrant tea at a leisurely pace. Suddenly, Zheng Mingzhu spoke up first.
"Master Jin, forgive my impertinence, I've come to propose a deal with you."
"What deal?"
"I won't hide it from you, Young Master Jin. Those photos were sent to you by someone I asked to deliver them. I didn't have any other intention, I just don't want to see the Jin family being swallowed up by Mrs. Jin and Park Soon-ae's collaboration."
"Let's talk about it."
"Perhaps Mr. Jin is not aware, but I have learned that Park Soon-yeol has reached an agreement with some small shareholders who hold shares of the Jin family to acquire their shares, totaling 15%. Adding this to the 5% held by Mrs. Jin, Park Soon-yeol now holds 20% of the Jin family's shares. Moreover, I have also learned that in Mr. Jin Sr.'s will, he divided his assets into two equal parts for you and your brother, Xianzhong. If this is true, once Mr. Jin Sr. passes away, control of the Jin family's business may fall into Park Soon-yeol's hands. Won't this news make you feel a bit anxious, Mr. Jin?"
"What the lady means..."
"I have great admiration for Young Master Jin's talent, and in my opinion, someone like Young Master Jin should have more room for development. My husband and I only have one daughter, Li Qiangwei, and we both hope to find a talented person like you to help manage the Li family business... We are willing to help you get back the shares that rightfully belong to you. Money is not an issue for us. Of course, our Li family has always been on good terms with others and doesn't have any connections with the Jin family, so helping you without a reason might raise some eyebrows. Especially from those who are against the Jin family's interests, it would seem like we're taking sides. So I came to propose a deal to you: as long as you marry my daughter, our only young lady, and become the son-in-law of the Li family, all this help will be natural and expected. Although you still have control over the Han Corporation, that is ultimately your mother's family business. If you want to use Han Corporation's funds to acquire Jin Corporation, it's hard to guarantee that other shareholders won't object. I think you're a smart person and can understand the benefits of this proposal. What do you think of my offer?"
Jin Ge quietly listened to Zheng Mingzhu's subtle and tempting words, his hand tapping out a rhythm that never changed, his face calm. After a long time, Jin Ge stopped, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"I'm truly grateful for Mrs. Li's appreciation, to think that my humble talent is worthy of her attention, I feel deeply honored. However, Miss Li is like a moon in the sky, something I can only gaze at but never reach, and she has an otherworldly beauty, which is beyond the grasp of ordinary people like me, it's really not something I dare to aspire to.
I must say that I'm also impressed by Mrs. Li's exceptional skills, to be able to understand my father's unpublished will so clearly, it's truly remarkable! If Mrs. Li were a man, the Li family's dynasty would indeed be unbeatable.
But... perhaps Mrs. Li doesn't know this, but my father has already signed a new document, transferring all of his assets under his name to me, which means that the will you understood is now nothing more than a scrap of paper. With nearly 70% of the Jin family's shares in my hands, why would I need to care about the 20% held by Pu Shunyi? It seems that Mrs. Li's kind intentions may be wasted, what can be done about this?"
Zheng Mingzhu's face turned red, white and then green as she listened to Jin Ge's sarcastic words. She thought her carefully laid plans would definitely make Jin Ge agree to marry her daughter Hua Zi, but unexpectedly, the old master of the Jin family had transferred all his assets to Jin Shao's name, rendering all her previous efforts useless. Moreover, Jin Ge's seemingly flattering words were actually mocking her, implying that she, Zheng Mingzhu, was trying to get her claws on the golden son of the Jin family, and that she had even taken Li Han Shi's position as head of the household.
Jin Ge watched Zheng Mingzhu leave with a defeated and angry expression, his cherry lips curled up in a mocking smile. "You think the Li family can take advantage of me, Jin Ge? How naive."
Zheng Mingzhu returned home, and Li Qihua heard that her mother was back, so she rushed over to ask about the result. Hua Zi also thought it was a sure thing that Young Master Jin would agree to marry her, and before Zheng Mingzhu even spoke, she had already started dreaming of being the young mistress of the Jin family. She didn't expect to see Zheng Mingzhu's gloomy expression.
"Hua Zi! From now on, don't think about Young Master Jin again, just give up that thought!"
Li Ke Hua listened to Zheng Ming Zhu's roar, and it took her half a day to react. Looking at her mother's gloomy face, the fox-like eyes blinked for half a day before weakly asking, "Mom, what did you say?"
"Hua Zi, with our Li family's wealth, can't we find a perfect husband for you? Forget about Young Master Jin from now on, it's impossible!"
"Mom..."
Zheng Mingzhu couldn't bear seeing her daughter like this, but she steeled herself and hardened her heart.
"Hua Zi, if you want to have fun, go abroad and play. Go wherever you want, play for as long as you want. Didn't you say before that you wanted to go to Brazil to see the Carnival? Go ahead, go tomorrow!"
Hua Zi looked at her mother with a bewildered expression, "Why do I have to go abroad? The Brazilian Carnival is in March, it's already July now, what's the point of going?"
"Mom, didn't Young Master Xianjun respond?"
"Hua Zi, don't think about him again from now on. He's just a young master of the Jin family, nothing special. He's not worthy of you! You two are not suitable!"
Li Qi Hua was sent back to her room in a daze, and it took her a while to come back to her senses. Does Young Master Xian Jun not want me? Why? Is it because of that fox spirit in the photo? Who is she? No matter who she is, if she dares to compete with me Li Qi Hua for a man, I will make sure she dies a terrible death!
This time, Huāzi Miss unexpectedly didn't cry or make a fuss, her little brain was racing, and the fox-like eyes were flashing with waves of sharp and cunning light.
