Chapter 274

Qiu Deteng sat on the sofa, holding a red wine glass; his eyes showed a hint of surprise, and the two had thought alike!

He wanted Li Xin's ATV shares, while Li Xin also eyed his ATV shares covetously.

Qiu Deteng knew that this ATV share matter would be difficult.

From Li Xin's attitude it was clear he would not let go easily.

After much thought, he considered how to persuade Li Xin to sell him the ATV shares.

He decided to first talk with Li Xin to find a solution both could accept; the ATV matter could not be delayed any longer.

Qiu Deteng took a sip of red wine and said, "Mr. Li, I control a majority of the shares and want full ownership."

"If you have any conditions, just say them; as long as they're not too outrageous, I think we can reach an agreement."

Li Xin smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Qiu, are you joking? I'm not hiding anything—I can tell you plainly that my goal is also to control ATV."

"This is an indispensable part of my media endeavors; no matter the price, I will not give up my shares."

"There's nothing to hide about this; Li Xin spoke openly."

Qiu Deteng frowned slightly and explained, "Mr. Li, ATV currently faces many difficulties and a large funding gap; are you confident you can resolve it?"

Li Xin replied, "Mr. Qiu, this is only a temporary difficulty; I believe your Far East Group can solve it, and if not, I can take care of it."

"Moreover, as far as I know, you have many businesses under you, mainly banking, so you may not be able to devote yourself fully to ATV. I, however, will make ATV the core of my media business."

Qiu Deteng's face changed slightly, his brows furrowed as he asked, "So you mean Mr. Li is unwilling to compromise?"

Li Xin nodded firmly, smiling, "That's right; I am determined to get the ATV shares, and I will not yield."

At this moment the atmosphere grew tense; both wanted control of ATV.

This is a deadlock; unless one side backs off, the two will keep wrangling.

"Mr. Li, then let's leave it at that for today; we'll meet again."

With many precedents before him, Qiu Deteng had no other ideas and could only get up and leave.

After Li Xin saw Qiu Deteng leave, he also found He Qiong and asked, "Do you have anything else? If not, let's withdraw; I really don't suit this kind of occasion!"

He Qiong smiled and nodded, replying, "Let's go; I don't have anything else either."

Li Xin truly wasn't used to it; he usually handles things straightforwardly and has little patience for these pleasantries.

If Jiang Tian Sheng found out, he would definitely argue with Li Xin about it—you don't want to give it to me, do you!

Jiang Tian Sheng dreams of getting into such banquets.

Tonight's dinner, Li Xin ate heartily; wine really is a good thing!

……

After Wang Fengyi returned from Red Hill, she has been absent-minded these past two days.

What Wang Dong said to her made it hard for her to accept; the idea of becoming someone's concubine had never crossed her mind.

Even though he's not bad‑looking, if he were to pursue her, that might be okay, but to use herself as payment and then follow him—how could that work?

Even though he's not bad‑looking, if he were to pursue her, that might be okay, but to use herself as payment and then follow him—how could that work?

However, the situation in the All Prosperity Society is getting worse; those elders and He Shichang are making big moves.

She can barely hold on!

She took out the number Bo Shu had given her from her bag, pondered for a long time, then put it back, not taking the final step.

She did not want to use that method.

While she was still thinking, the big brother‑big (mobile phone) on the table rang.

"Young Miss, I am Pei Shu; you need to strengthen your own security—He Shichang has already moved against me, and I now lack the ability to protect you, do you understand?"

Wang Fengyi knew Pei Shu would not deceive her; among the four senior elders, only Pei Shu supported her, enabling her to take over the All Prosperity Society.

Upon hearing Chang Shu's words, she hurriedly asked, "Pei Shu, where are you? Are you safe now?"

Pei Shu's tone was somewhat anxious; he said urgently, "Young Miss, you don't need to worry about me—remember, you must keep A Wei by your side; the situation is very dangerous."

Wang Fengyi hung up, immediately summoned A Wei, and told him, "A Wei, get more people; Pei Shu called me and said He Shichang is making big moves."

A Wei is tall and sturdy, a former gangster, and a well‑known red pole in the All Prosperity Society.

After Wang Dong entered, he has always protected Wang Fengyi; because Head Elder Dong Shu showed him kindness, he will repay it with his life.

People say no gangster is righteous, but A Wei is an exception; he has repaid Wang Dong's kindness entirely to Wang Fengyi.

Whether supporting her at the All Prosperity Society meeting or providing her with military protection,

he does it wholeheartedly!

A Wei shouted angrily, "A Chang, that good‑for‑nothing, Dong Shu treated him well, yet this bastard doesn't remember a bit of kindness!"

"Young Miss, rest assured; with me here, no one can touch you."

Watching A Wei leave, Wang Fengyi felt somewhat relieved, though she wondered how Pei Shu was faring and whether he was in danger.

Kowloon City Red Flower Restaurant.

He Shichang had arranged a meeting with the three senior elders and waited for them all to arrive.

Smiling, he said, "Seniors, I know that since the Young Miss took power, everyone's days have been rough."

"Don't say I haven't looked after you seniors; I now have several big deals and want to cooperate with you—what do you think?"

"Big deals?"

The elder sitting in the middle of the table, holding a pipe and dressed in a suit, smiled and asked.

He then continued, "Now the All Prosperity Society is run by the Young Miss; even the side lanes are off‑limits for profit—what big business can we still do?"

"If the Young Miss finds out, A Wei won't give us any face."

"Who let the head have such luck! He found a good dog, very loyal!"

He Shichang slammed both hands on the table, his expression wild, and asked, "Are you joking? Are you afraid of the Young Miss?"

Pointing at the three, he asked, "Ah? Are you afraid? Don't kid around, horse's ass!"

"Now that Dongshu isn't here, we can make a profit for a few years—everyone will have meat to eat, isn't that good?"

"Among the three, the elder sitting on the right said: 'Achang, your opinion is good; everyone's out here hustling, isn't it just for money? Who the hell doesn't want to make more?'"

"However, can you settle Peishu and Awei? Do you have that ability?"

"He Shichang lifted his hands from the table, answered with a smile: 'As long as you all support me, I'll settle Peishu and Awei.'"

"All you do is talk big—what the hell use is that?"

"Exactly!"

"Hey! Wait until you've settled them first, then we'll talk about this later."

"The three old fogies were making sarcastic remarks, all waiting to see the show."

"It would be best if He Shichang could settle them; that way they could keep making money, and the young lady would lose the support of those two."

"It's just a piece of meat—anyone can eat it!"

"Although they're old, they're not lacking in ideas."
