Chapter 548: Quarrel at the Bedhead, Make Up at the Bedfoot

Chen Yang previously thought to run several more companies, then merge them into a big group. After experiencing so many things, he found this path actually wouldn't work.

One's energy is limited; even if one could switch between a few cities as quickly as Superman, it's still hard to oversee everything.

Chen Yang not only lacked a strong background, but also lacked many capable and loyal assistants like Shen Anna. He basically lacked the conditions to run multiple companies.

Under these circumstances, the best choice is to cash out the company while it still has value.

Therefore, despite Hu Qingwan's opposition, Chen Yang insisted on selling Old Commoners Meat Industry Limited Company.

Hu Qingwan, seeing she couldn't persuade Chen Yang, called Lin Guojiang back.

Unexpectedly, the hastily returned Lin Guojiang was also not in good spirits, looking exhausted. It seemed the just-concluded Municipal Party Standing Committee had not reached a result satisfactory to him.

When facing Lin Guojiang, Chen Yang still felt a bit guilty and cautiously asked, "Dad, did your meeting reach a conclusion?"

"No!" Lin Guojiang sighed, saying, "More than half of the comrades support letting the State-owned Assets Commission take over. But Secretary Kong worries that after the State-owned Assets Commission takes over, it will move the company to Xingcheng, so he hasn't agreed."

Chen Yang had long anticipated this result. Many officials in Qingshui City lack ambition and only want to curry favor with provincial leaders. Thus he suggested, "Dad, I heard the city established last year the City Construction Investment Operation Group Limited Company. Why not let the City Investment Company take most shares of Old Commoners Meat Industry Limited Company, while the Provincial State-owned Assets Commission takes a small share? That way, wouldn't our city retain control over the company's relocation?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Guojiang's eyes lit up and he instantly felt energized. "Chen Yang, that's a good idea. I'll go discuss it with Secretary Kong right away." Saying that, he went straight into his study to make a call.

Hu Qingwan saw Chen Yang not only wanting to sell the company but also giving Lin Guojiang advice, and angrily said, "Are you brainless? They want to split up your company, and you're handing them a knife?"

Chen Yang laughed, "Selling the company is also fine; I'll have more time to accompany Lin Wei."

Hu Qingwan, hearing that, instinctively said, "Then you also need to sell the industries in Xingcheng and Shencheng."

"Mom, I'm only twenty-five; giving up all my career now—wouldn't that be too early?" Chen Yang gave Hu Qingwan a wry smile, not wanting to live a life of idleness,

"It is a bit early……" Hu Qingwan also felt she had been abrupt. Chen Yang holds not only a few nationally renowned companies but also several projects worth hundreds of billions; it's not something you can just quit.

At that moment, Lin Wei also returned. Hearing Chen Yang's voice in the corridor, she immediately had the nanny bring the child to Hu Qingwan, then forcibly dragged Chen Yang into her room for a fierce beating.

Chen Yang couldn't beat Lin Wei, but he was taller and stronger. After taking a few blows, he forcibly grabbed her and threw her onto the bed.

The ancients were right: quarrel at the bedhead, make up at the bedfoot.

After an intimate exchange, Lin Wei's attitude obviously softened considerably.

"Playboy, not sharing family bliss with your junior schoolmate Qingqing, why come to my place?"

"Honey, I miss you to death!"

"Get lost! Who's your wife? We're already divorced!"

Chen Yang felt displeased and immediately began putting on his pants.

"What are you doing?"

"Since we're divorced, we should still keep some distance, lest people say Secretary Lin's private life is improper."

Lin Wei, angry, directly bit Chen Yang's arm hard.

"Are you a dog born in the Year of the Dog?!" Chen Yang, enduring the pain, pushed Lin Wei away.

"Yes, I am a Dog-year person!" Lin Wei then shoved Chen Yang onto the bed again and began taking the initiative.

During this period, Chen Yang had been stifled by affairs of the Lin and Hu families, unable to breathe; being provoked by Lin Wei, his pent-up emotions completely exploded, and he directly turned the tables.

In this battle, heaven and earth were darkened.

The next morning, as Chen Yang walked, he clearly felt his feet were a bit out of control. Meanwhile, Lin Wei smiled and drove to work as usual.

At this point, he realized again: only an ox can be worked to death, never a field ruined.

In future fights, he also needs to restrain himself a bit more.

He washed up, then prepared to go to the Municipal Party Secretary's Office to find Kong Jie, but unexpectedly Lin Guojiang hadn't left his house and had been waiting for Chen Yang in his room.

"Dad, why didn't you go to the government?"

Lin Guojiang quietly looked at Chen Yang for a moment, recalling last night's huge commotion, and couldn't help sighing. Though the two clearly love each other to death, they still have to divorce. Sometimes he also can't understand why his daughter listens to that high-and-mighty father-in-law of hers.

Is power really that important?

"Chen Yang, Secretary Kong has already agreed to let the City Investment Bureau participate in the acquisition of Old Commoners Meat Industry Limited Company. But the City Investment Bureau has just been established and has limited funds. Secretary Kong means, can you lower the price?"

Chen Yang immediately objected. "Dad, since it's business, we must follow business rules. The company's valuation is what it is; you must pay that amount. If insufficient, you can borrow from banks. After the company goes public, you'll have plenty of money to repay the banks."

Lin Guojiang hadn't expected Chen Yang to directly refuse him; he slightly frowned and seriously said to Chen Yang, "Really, there's no room for negotiation?"

Chen Yang shook his head, saying seriously, "Dad, Old Commoners Meat Industry Limited Company is itself a profitable enterprise, and now it's a nationally known brand. If I sold it cheaply, others would doubt my intelligence."

Seeing Chen Yang unwilling to compromise, Lin Guojiang could only abandon that idea. He told Chen Yang, "If you don't want to sell cheaply, can you at least retain some shares? Strive to let the City Investment Bureau hold more shares than the State-owned Assets Commission!"

"No problem!" Chen Yang understood, realizing the City Investment Bureau lacks funds and wants him to join in opposing the Provincial State-owned Assets Commission.

To be frank, this request is a bit unreasonable. But to avoid offending Kong Jie, Chen Yang still chose to agree.

The next day, the Director of the Provincial State-owned Assets Commission, Huo Yunyan, personally came to Qingshui City, talked with Kong Jie and Lin Guojiang for an hour. After the negotiations ended, the authorities officially released the information about the State-owned Assets Commission investing in Old Commoners Meat Industry Limited Company.

According to the agreement between Kong Jie and Huo Yunyan, the City Investment Bureau obtained forty percent of the shares, the State-owned Assets Commission thirty percent, and Chen Yang temporarily retained thirty percent.

As for the chairman of the new company, Lin Guojiang hoped Chen Yang would continue to serve concurrently, but was refused.

Selling the company yet still having to work as an ox and horse at the company—Chen Yang is no fool.
