At this moment, Lin Haowei learned that Lin Yi Chen had actually publicly severed his father-son relationship with him online.
In an instant, he couldn’t help but angrily smash a teacup.
“Alright, alright!” Lin Haowei repeated two “alright.”
“Lin Yi Chen, you’ve got guts. I want to see what you can become without the Lin family group. You think you’re someone significant after cutting ties with me?” Lin Haowei sneered repeatedly.
He immediately had the PR department issue a statement: stating that he no longer had a disobedient and unfilial son like Lin Yi Chen.
Even if he donated the Lin Family Group, he would never let Lin Yi Chen inherit it!
He even directly reclaimed several properties under Lin Yi Chen’s name.
Didn’t he want to sever ties?
Well then, I want everything I’ve given you in the past back!
I, Lin Haowei, won’t give so much to an outsider!
However, the lawyer working for Lin Haowei couldn’t help but secretly sympathize with Lin Yi Chen when he saw the situation.
Who could have thought that Lin Yi Chen had poured his heart and soul into the Lin Family Group for so many years, only to receive such a small reward in the end?
Mr. Lin was being too stingy with his own son, wasn’t he?
At least during Lin Yi Chen’s tenure, he had multiplied the value of the Lin Family Group several times!
And now, Lin Haowei had simply kicked him out!
No wonder Lin Yi Chen wanted to sever ties with him!
Even if they were father and son, one couldn’t endure this!
Of course, nobody dared to say such things in front of Lin Haowei.
While Lin Haowei was retaliating by taking back everything he had previously given to Lin Yi Chen, a call from Xu Shi Chang came in.
“Mr. Lin, now that Lin Yi Chen has severed ties with you, what should we do about his marriage to Wen Jing?” Xu Shi Chang asked.
Upon hearing this, Lin Haowei replied irritably, “Let him go ask Lin Yi Chen! It’s their marriage, not mine. Don’t ask me about everything!” Lin Haowei’s tone was somewhat aggressive.
He used to be cautious of the Xu family because they had the contact information of a certain bigshot, and he couldn’t afford to offend them. After all, picking a fight with someone in power was always foolish.
But now, the Xu family doesn’t have that opportunity anymore.
So, what did he have to fear?
Xu Shi Chang couldn’t help but sneer when he heard Lin Haowei’s tone, “It seems, Mr. Lin, that you’re planning to turn your back on us? Do you really think my Xu family has no hidden cards? Mr. Lin, one should not forget their obligations. Without my Xu family, could your Lin family have reached its current status?”
Upon hearing this, Lin Haowei clenched his phone and replied impatiently, “What do you want?”
“Since Lin Yi Chen has severed ties with you, their engagement is no longer valid. However, your Lin Family Group has caused a delay in Wen Jing’s life for so many years. So, I want 5% of the shares in the Lin Family Group as compensation for her emotional and youth losses over these years,” Xu Shi Chang said coldly.
Since they had already decided to go all out and tear things apart, there was no need for politeness anymore.
Upon hearing Xu Shi Chang’s words, Lin Haowei responded with a series of cold sneers. “Xu Shi Chang, you must be dreaming. Aren’t you?”
“Dreaming? Mr. Lin, don’t blame me for not warning you. When it comes to money and life, the former is hardly worth mentioning compared to the latter. I may not have your talents, Mr. Lin, but I have powerful connections behind me. I can bring down the Jiang family, and I can just as easily bring down your Lin family. I can even do it as ruthlessly as you did with the Yi family!” Xu Shi Chang’s tone turned sinister.
Did Lin Haowei think he could kick him away with a single blow?
Dream on!
Xu Shi Chang might not have other skills, but he had successfully invested in several big shots.
Upon hearing Xu Shi Chang’s words, Lin Haowei suddenly calmed down.
He knew that Xu Wen Jing’s foster father was not someone to be trifled with.
Dealing with such a person would undoubtedly bring endless trouble if not handled thoroughly in one go.
For a moment, Lin Haowei’s voice grew deep as he said, “5% of the shares are out of the question! At most, 1%!”
“Lin Haowei, don’t force my hand! Don’t think for a moment that I want shares from your Lin family for myself. I don’t care how much of your shares I take. But if the people behind my Xu family aren’t satisfied, don’t blame me for not warning you. Lin Haowei, you might be powerful, but in the end, you only have one life!” Xu Shi Chang said coldly.
Upon hearing this, Lin Haowei gritted his teeth and said, “At most, 2% and if you get any greedier, don’t blame me for not giving you even 1%!”
In truth, Xu Shi Chang had initially expected only 1% of the shares.
After all, that 1% of shares would yield dividends of several million every year.
He mentioned 5% as a starting point because he knew Lin Haowei would negotiate.
But he hadn’t expected to actually get more than 1%.
Xu Shi Chang was satisfied.
“Alright, 2% then. From now on, we’re even. The engagement between Wen Jing and Lin Yi Chen no longer matters,” Xu Shi Chang immediately stated.
“No problem, I hope you’ll keep your word.” Lin Haowei replied in a deep voice.
“I’ll keep my word, Mr. Lin. Unlike you, I don’t make empty promises. I don’t need to threaten you to get 2% of the shares!” Xu Shi Chang sneered.
Hearing this, Lin Haowei was so frustrated that he wished he could smash his phone.
And after hanging up the phone, Xu Shi Chang turned to Xu Wen Jing and her mother, who were eagerly waiting, and revealed a triumphant smile.
“It’s done! We’ve secured 2% of the shares in the Lin Family Group!” Xu Shi Chang said with a satisfied grin.
Hearing this, both mother and daughter immediately showed delighted smiles.
Xu Wen Jing even stepped forward to hug Xu Shi Chang’s arm. “Dad, you’re amazing! If I had known it was this easy to get shares in the Lin Family Group, we wouldn’t have gone through all that trouble with the marriage alliance!”
Upon hearing this, Xu Shi Chang looked at her helplessly. “Can it be the same? If you had married into the Lin family, you could have helped our family develop the business. But now, even though we’ve obtained 2% of the shares, the Lin family won’t be able to assist us in the business world anymore!”
Originally, they could have obtained shares and connections in the Lin family.
But now, that was no longer possible.
Hearing this, Xu Wen Jing quickly replied, “If they won’t help, then so be it! After all, the dividends from our 2% of the shares in the Lin Family Group are much higher than what our family earns!”
Xu Shi Chang finally smiled and nodded. “You’re right. So, we’re not at a loss!”
Lol I hope Lin Yi Chen destroys the company so they all end up with nothing.
