Chapter 1229 - 1234: The Offer
"I want to truly control Longfeng Martial Hall!" Lin Feng looked at Ning Fuxun and spoke earnestly.
Ning Fuxun was taken aback. It turns out that, on the surface, Lin Feng is the hall master of Longfeng Martial Hall. However, in this money-driven era, the Ning Corporation, which holds more than 50% shares, is actually the true behind-the-scenes owner!
The price Lin Feng was offering meant he wanted complete control over Longfeng Martial Hall himself!
"Do you mean that although I hold 50% of the shares, I should even hand over the decision-making power to you?" Ning Fuxun stared at Lin Feng and asked in a deep voice.
"That’s right!" Lin Feng nodded, "From now on, you’ll only take dividends from your 50% shares, and I’ll handle everything else!"
Ning Fuxun was stunned. Clearly, Lin Feng’s condition has somewhat exceeded his limits... As a competent capitalist, Ning Fuxun never considers decision-making power a bad thing, even if it’s not used often; it can still be troublesome at critical times!
"Lin Feng, I must be honest with you, this condition... is a bit difficult to achieve!" Ning Fuxun shook his head and said to Lin Feng in a deep voice, "How about I give you an additional 10% of shares so that you become the major shareholder with over 30%?"
"No need!" Lin Feng shook his head, smiling, "Brother Ning, you should know that I fear being controlled by others... This is not about money!"
"Is it that there’s not enough money?" Ning Fuxun chuckled and asked.
"It’s really not..." Lin Feng shook his head and said deeply, "Anyway, this is the condition I’ve put forward. Brother Ning, if you agree, we can discuss further; if not, let’s just stop here!"
Ning Fuxun was momentarily silent, then looked at Lin Feng uncertainly, and asked heavily, "Are you really confident?!"
Lin Feng nodded, secretly laughing to himself; having advanced to Innate, if he wasn’t confident now, how could he accomplish anything!
Ning Fuxun’s face shifted several times before he finally nodded and said, "Alright, I want to see what you’re capable of! I’ll draft a supplementary agreement right away, and you can sign it with me!"
Soon, Lin Feng and Ning Fuxun signed another simple draft contract.
"Lin Feng, make sure you seize the opportunity!" Ning Fuxun said deeply to Lin Feng, "There are recent rumors in the martial world that Bai Yuanshan is preparing to withdraw from the martial arts scene. When you fight for the first leader position of Hong Sect, you might as well compete for the sect leader position!"
Lin Feng grimaced and said to Ning Fuxun, "Brother Ning, are you so certain I can smoothly secure the first leader position?"
Ning Fuxun shook his head and said, "It’s your confidence that influenced me!"
"Let’s forget about this influence!" Lin Feng shook his head and said calmly, "In any case, I will go with the flow and will not force things recklessly!"
At this moment, Lin Feng suddenly felt a bit uneasy. No one understood better than him why Bai Yuanshan wanted to suddenly withdraw from the martial arts scene... Because the deaths of Bai Youxian and Bai Liancheng have cast a thick shadow over Bai Yuanshan’s reputation. Whether or not it’s due to Hong Sect internally having already concluded who the killer of the two was, no one has ever seriously investigated this case... Thus, various rumors that Bai Yuanshan intentionally hired a killer to eliminate Bai Liancheng began to emerge.
Lin Feng knows Bai Yuanshan is probably not feeling well, and all this time, due to harboring suspicions himself, he hasn’t met with Bai Yuanshan; he doesn’t know Bai Family Master’s current situation.
Seeing Lin Feng wasn’t as aggressive and impulsive, Ning Fuxun finally felt relieved and said to him again, "Lin Feng, you must know that once a tree grows tall, it attracts the wind. If you really succeed in becoming Hong Sect’s first leader, it’s likely that many people will come to bother you. You must be especially cautious, just like what happened last night..."
"It won’t happen again!" Lin Feng suddenly interrupted Ning Fuxun, saying deeply, "Don’t worry, last night’s incident won’t happen again... I won’t let my Martial Hall be bullied like that in the future!"
Ning Fuxun only smiled bitterly; he had just thought Lin Feng wasn’t so aggressive, but now Lin Feng was full of confidence again.
After reaching an agreement with Ning Fuxun, Lin Feng and Su Zi prepared to leave. Ning Fuxun arranged a car to send Su Zi and Lin Feng back to Jincheng residential area; suddenly, Lin Feng received a call from Xu Yishan...
"Lin Feng, come over, I need to talk to you!" Xu Yishan spoke concisely, in a commanding tone to Lin Feng, and then hung up before Lin Feng could respond.
Lin Feng was momentarily stunned, yet he still asked the driver to take him and Su Zi to Xu Family’s estate.
Half an hour later, Lin Feng and Su Zi appeared in Xu Yishan’s living room and met the elderly man whose hair was white yet youthful.
"Lin Feng, who is this little girl beside you?" Xu Yishan asked with curiosity, looking at Su Zi as soon as he appeared.
"This is my classmate Su Zi..." Lin Feng smiled and casually explained to Xu Yishan.
Su Zi was momentarily stunned, glanced at Lin Feng with some indignation, then directly hugged one of Lin Feng’s arms and smiled at Xu Yishan saying, "It’s the very good kind of relationship!"
Lin Feng was taken aback. He didn’t want to declare his and Su Zi’s relationship in front of Xu Yishan to avoid provoking any adverse feelings in Xu Yishan. Who knew Su Zi would deliberately turn intimate in front of him, probably misunderstanding that he didn’t want to recognize her as his girlfriend...
Sure enough, Xu Yishan’s expression changed, and after scrutinizing Su Zi for a few moments, he threw an indignant glance at Lin Feng and said in a deep voice, "Yet another excellent little beauty. You sure have good taste, boy!"
Lin Feng could only smile wryly, not knowing how to respond to Xu Yishan.
After scrutinizing Su Zi again, Xu Yishan finally spoke to Lin Feng, "Lin Feng, I called you here tonight because someone wants to meet you. Your beautiful female classmate should go outside for a while."
Su Zi was momentarily stunned; she didn’t know Xu Yishan is Xu Jing’s grandfather and thought he was a stranger, so she didn’t dare leave Lin Feng’s side, looking at Lin Feng pitifully and saying worriedly, "Lin Feng, can’t I stay with you?"
Lin Feng was about to speak when he suddenly heard Xu Jing’s delighted voice from behind:
"Su Zi, how come you’re at my place?"
Su Zi was momentarily stunned, instinctively turning to look back, discovering Xu Jing looking at her curiously. Instantly, she left Lin Feng aside and, feeling very excited, dashed to Xu Jing’s side, sweetly asking, "Teacher Xu, is this your house?"
"Yes..." Xu Jing smiled and said, "It’s my grandfather’s villa; how do you like it?"
"It’s huge!" Su Zi excitedly chatted with Xu Jing and soon forgot Lin Feng was there.
Lin Feng had no choice but to turn his head and, with a wry smile, looked at Xu Yishan and said in a deep voice, "Old Xu, now you can tell me who wants to meet me!"
