Chapter 2648
"Wenwen, Dalinzi!" Ye Zhen raised her hand and waved, greeting Nie Wen and Tang Lin, but as for Zhang Zuo, it was as if she hadn't seen him at all, directly ignoring him.
Zhang Zuo said discontentedly: "Older sister, didn't you see me, old lady?"
Ye Zhen snapped her head toward Zhang Zuo, her beautiful eyes full of killing intent: "Zhang Laoer, what did you call me?"
"Calling you fourth older sister!" Zhang Zuo shouted, glaring: "Any problem?"
Seeing Zhang Zuo's righteous and confident appearance, Ye Zhen's killing intent turned to confusion: "Could it be you just now didn't call me older sister?"
"What are your ears?" Zhang Zuo snorted: "You can't even hear clearly, looks like I really have to call you older sister."
"Zhang Laoer!" Ye Zhen suddenly laughed: "No matter if you call me older sister or fourth older sister, you little brat deserve a beating."
Zhang Zuo stiffened his neck, staring at Ye Zhen: "On what grounds?"
"On what grounds?" Ye Zhen stepped forward two paces, then suddenly raised her hand and slapped Zhang Zuo's forehead hard: "I call my dad second brother, I call your mom second sister-in-law, you call me sister—you tell me, aren't you inverting heaven and earth, deserving a beating?"
Zhang Zuo saw stars from Ye Zhen's slap, but he heard her words clearly, wanting to keep talking tough, but thinking of his father's belt, he finally shut his mouth.
"Zhang Laoer!" Ye Zhen said with a smiling squint: "Call me fourth aunt, let me hear it."
Zhang Zuo caught his breath, wanting to refuse, but seeing Ye Zhen's smiling squint, a chill shot from his tailbone to the top of his head. He wasn't afraid of Ye Zhen, but he was afraid she'd go complain to his father.
"Fourth aunt!" Zhang Zuo, caught between being beaten and being stubborn, chose to yield.
"That's right then!" Ye Zhen nodded satisfactorily, and even ruffled Zhang Zuo's head: "You should learn more from your sister, stop acting all frivolous all day."
Zhang Zuo felt aggrieved but couldn't lash out, because according to the friendship of the two families' elders, he indeed had to call Ye Zhen fourth aunt. Moreover, today's matter, he couldn't speak of it—if the elders or his father found out, they'd surely whip him.
Seeing Zhang Zuo's embarrassed state, Tang Lin bit his tongue hard to keep from laughing, lest Zhang Zuo get angry and take his frustration out on him, leaving him depressed.
Nie Wen didn't care whether Zhang Zuo could save face, she pulled Ye Zhen's hand: "Fourth sister, Zhang Zuo calls you aunt, given our relationship, he should also call me aunt."
Not taking advantage is being a bastard, Tang Lin still couldn't hold back: "Then shouldn't Zhang Zuo call me uncle-in-law?"
"Get lost!" Zhang Zuo glared angrily at Tang Lin and Nie Wen, then turned to Zhou Andong: "I say Dong……ge, since everyone's here, let's get down to business quickly."
Zhou Andong also wanted to take advantage, but thinking of his grandfather's and Zhang Lao Ye's relationship, he could only let it go. Because he also feared, if Zhang Zuo got his wires crossed and went to complain to his grandfather, he might get whipped too.
"Good!" Zhou Andong said to Shen Wenqi: "Give everyone the contract to look at."
Liu Aijun had already taken out the contract; hearing Zhou Andong's words, she gave one copy each to Zhou Andong, Ye Zhen, Nie Wen, and Zhang Zuo.
With Ye Zhen and Nie Wen, these two sharp women, Zhou Andong didn't need to look at all—just as long as Ye Zhen and Nie Wen saw no problems, he could sign directly.
As for Zhang Zuo, that idiot, he was seriously examining the contract. But if you looked closely, you'd see his gaze kept drifting toward Ye Zhen and Nie Wen.
After twenty or more minutes, Ye Zhen and Nie Wen raised their heads one after another, then Ye Zhen looked at Shen Wenqi: "The contract has no problem, but why didn't I see the purchase price?"
Zhou Andong frowned—indeed, they hadn't discussed price that day. Because he trusted Shen Wenqi would give him a relatively fair quote, but now it seemed Shen Wenqi had misunderstood.
"Old Shen!" Zhou Andong looked at Shen Wenqi: "Why isn't the purchase price written?"
Shen Wenqi suddenly felt a bit panicked: "Chairman Zhou, my brother's situation is very troublesome, my sister-in-law has taken out all her family's wealth, but no one is willing to help. Now that you're willing to help us, we're only taking out twenty percent of the shares, and we feel it's a bit little."
"Old Shen!" Zhou Andong shook his head: "A gentleman loves wealth but obtains it rightly; taking advantage of a fire to rob is not my character. The shares you're putting out are because I need a reason to intervene, not because I'm seizing by force.
So, the market value of this twenty percent share is whatever it is—I won't shortchange you by a cent, and of course I won't give you an extra cent just because we're partners.
Ye Zhen smiled slightly: "Mr. Shen, if you don't want money for these shares, please take back the contract."
Nie Wen also nodded: "Boss Shen, you should still state the price."
Shen Wenqi hadn't expected this situation, but seeing the expressions on Zhou Andong, Ye Zhen, and Nie Wen's faces—definitely not making excuses—he understood what was going on and said without hesitation:
"Because my cousin developed over a dozen children's anti-inflammatory medicines, and the response and sales are very good, so the pharmaceutical factory's valuation has doubled, about 170 million."
"Valuation 170 million, twenty percent is 34 million." Zhou Andong looked at Ye Zhen and Nie Wen: "Do you have any objections to this price?"
Ye Zhen looked at Zhou Andong: "As long as you agree, I have no problem here."
Nie Wen followed with a nod: "I and Dalin just follow behind Boss Zhou, eating and drinking—you say this price works, then it works."
"Since you all agree, then let's sign." Zhou Andong stood up, walked to the desk, picked up the pen, and walked back.
Zhang Zuo said discontentedly: "Why don't you ask my opinion?"
Zhou Andong put the contract on the tea table, without raising his head: "If you want to sign, sign; if not, forget it—I can find other allies."
Zhang Zuo smacked his lips, finally muttering something, then honestly signed his name on the contract.
The contract was in two copies; several people signed it one after another. Zhou Andong smiled and said: "The money will be transferred to the designated account within a week."
Bai Hui hurriedly said: "Chairman Zhou, the money isn't urgent—whenever it comes is fine, even one or two years is no problem, I..."
"Sister-in-law!" Shen Wenqi cut off Bai Hui's words, then bowed to Zhou Andong, Ye Zhen, Nie Wen, and Zhang Zuo: "I know, great kindness needs no thanks, but I still want to say thank you."
"Alright!" Zhang Zuo waved his hand broadly: "Since the contract's signed, let's go celebrate at a bar."
"Indeed we should celebrate." Zhou Andong checked the time: "Almost off work, let's go now."
Ye Zhen wanted to refuse, but seeing Zhou Andong agree, she inexplicably also agreed.
