Chapter 195: with translation of chapter title

After leaving the clinic, Lin Yang went to the hotel.

After treating Old Master Huo as usual, Huo Zhidong looked at Lin Yang with some difficulty.

Mr. Lin, I have something I want to tell you.

What is it?

Huo Zhidong hesitated for a moment, then looked at the old master.

The old master gave a cold snort and said to him.

You found someone to handle this matter; now there's a problem—what do you expect me to do about it?

Hearing his father say that, Huo Zhidong gave a bitter laugh.

He looked at Lin Yang and said to Lin Yang.

Mr. Lin, over in Xianggang, someone knows that the Longevity Elixir comes from the southwest.

Right now, they are sending people over.

Moreover, some people from our Huo Family also want to meet you; they have different opinions about the profit distribution...

While speaking, he sized up Lin Yang.

Seeing that Lin Yang was not angry, Huo Zhidong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Our family members will arrive tonight; do you think you could meet them?

When Huo Zhidong looked anxious, Lin Yang smiled and said.

Sure, since it's business, we should talk.

The previous 70-30 split, they think there's a problem, so we'll discuss it again.

Seeing how easygoing Lin Yang was, Huo Zhidong also breathed a sigh of relief.

Then that evening, I'll have Shui Xian contact you.

Okay.

After seeing Xiao Chen off, Huo Shui Xian always felt that Xiao Chen wasn't so easy to talk to.

With such a forceful personality, he usually wouldn't go for a second round of talks.

Dad, this time we're discussing the profit split—will anything go wrong?

Huo Zhidong furrowed his brows and said, 'It should be fine.'

Those coming from the family side are all negotiation experts; for business matters, he surely can't resort to force, right?

The old master listened to his son's words and smiled, saying.

Well, I'll just have to wait and see.

He raised his head to look out the window, overlooking the entire southwest.

The southwest nowadays is really getting more and more lively.

People are coming from Jinling, and even our Xianggang has visitors.

Some come for money, some for life, some want both; it's just unknown how many will be able to withdraw unscathed.

Hearing his father's words, Huo Zhidong fell silent.

When evening came, Huo Shui Xian again drove the car to pick up Lin Yang.

This time, accompanying Lin Yang to the hotel was also An Ni Shang.

At this moment, An Ni Shang was still wearing an OL suit, holding documents in her hand.

Her solemn demeanor was as if she were about to go onto the battlefield.

After arriving at the hotel, Huo Shui Xian said.

Mr. Lin, we have arranged a banquet; let's eat first.

As Lin Yang followed Huo Shui Xian into the private room, he happened to see Yuan Shu entering the opposite private room with Duan Tiancheng to have a meal.

Before Yuan Shu entered the door, it was apparent she had seen Lin Yang and even glanced back at him.

The two exchanged a glance as the door closed, and then nothing else.

Lin Yang couldn't help but sigh, 'What a marvelous fate this world has—running into Yuan Shu even here.'

Meanwhile, as Lin Yang and An Ni Shang entered the private room together, among the five people inside, aside from Huo Zhidong, the rest were all strangers.

He whispered in An Ni Shang's ear, 'You'd better be careful—these could all be your enemies.'

As Lin Yang spoke, his exhaled breath made An Ni Shang's ears feel itchy.

Her pretty face flushed, and she lowered her head to speak softly.

I know.

Lin Yang also didn't notice her oddness, directly pulling An Ni Shang to sit down.

At this moment, Huo Zhidong stood up and introduced everyone.

This is Mr. Lin, a remarkably talented young man.

The lives of that couple were saved by him.

Beside him is Miss An Ni Shang, the personal secretary of the president of Baihua Group.

Upon hearing Huo Zhidong's introduction, a dignified woman in a silver long dress looked at An Ni Shang and said.

Isn't Baihua Group not as big as our Huo Family? Why not let your boss come negotiate with us instead of sending a little secretary like you?

Or does Baihua Group look down on our Huo Family?

Faced with the woman's preemptive strike, An Ni Shang took a deep breath, trying to stay calm.

Because the Longevity Elixir is not Baihua Group's product; we are merely acting as agents.

And I am the one in charge of this matter.

Just as An Ni Shang finished speaking, the mustachioed man in a suit beside her said.

You're so young—can you manage such a big business?

You've been hanging around the mall for how many years, and how long have you been a secretary?

An Ni Shang frowned and said, "I've been a secretary for over a month, I haven't battled in the mall."

Hearing this, Huo Zhisheng gave a light laugh.

"I think you're just a little girl, capable of coming up with such a plan."

"You sell your stuff on our turf, yet you take seventy percent—do you think this is playing house?"

At this moment, Huo Zhidong frowned and said.

"Old Four, this matter was permitted by Dad."

Huo Zhisheng's face darkened as he said, "Dad was just recovering from a serious illness and was muddle-headed!"

"Does our Huo Family promotion not cost money?"

"And you, as the family head, don't you know our Huo Family is profit-seeking?"

He glanced at Lin Yang and said in a low voice.

"Business is business, feelings are feelings; if you feel you owe someone, you can compensate with money!"

"You shouldn't use business matters to compensate someone!"

These righteous words left Huo Zhidong speechless, not knowing what to say.

He also knew his younger brother was speaking the truth!

Business and feelings should be completely separated.

At this moment, An Ni Shang suddenly spoke up.

"We take seventy percent because this technology is something only we can have!"

"We can also guarantee that once it hits the market, it will absolutely blow up!"

Hearing this, Huo Zhisheng laughed loudly.

"Indeed naive, there's nothing absolute in the world."

"This time, I'll state the numbers: all profits, a one-nine split!"

Before An Ni Shang could refuse, Huo Zhisheng said.

"Because the promotion is done using my Huo Family's connections; you've done nothing."

"The money earned should go to our Huo Family as the major share!"

He said this in order to seize the lead in the negotiation.

Even if An Ni Shang bargains again, it couldn't be the previous three-seven split.

He thought correctly; upon hearing this, the inexperienced An Ni Shang prepared to follow his lead.

Just as she was about to say fifty-fifty, Lin Yang suddenly spoke up.

"I agree to the one-nine split."

Lin Yang's sudden remark made everyone look at him.

An Ni Shang instantly became anxious; just as she was about to say something, Lin Yang stopped her with a glance.

At this moment, Huo Zhisheng couldn't suppress a smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Mr. Lin, you're indeed generous; let's settle it like that."

"So it's settled: we get nine, the Huo Family gets one."

Upon hearing this, Huo Zhisheng's face instantly sank.

He said to Lin Yang, "Do you really look down on our Huo Family?"

"Don't try to scare me with the Huo Family."

"If your Huo Family isn't willing to accept this split, I can find other families."

"The Xianggang Four Great Families, aside from the Huo Family there are three others; I think they'd be willing to talk with me."

"Don't act like your Huo Family is so great."

As soon as his words fell, the private room instantly fell silent.
