Chapter 401: Lu, What Kind of Shock Did Your Girlfriend Receive?
Lu Jingye told Zi Yi what he had done yesterday night.
“We released news that the Count is extrely disappointed in Ansel and might possibly remove his qualification to inherit the Count’s position. In order to prevent Ian from obtaining the position as the Count’s successor, he had personally led n to kill Ian. They just so happened to be seen by the Count and Ansel nearly killed the Count out of recklessness.”
Since it was a trap, Ansel must have suffered badly last night.
Zi Yi only had to listen to know what this would do.
She then told him about her plans of wanting to build a research base here.
“The outskirts of Country X is sparsely populated and the land is also privately owned. Besides, you’ve helped Ian a great deal this ti around and it should be rather safe to build a research base here.”
“That’s true.” Lu Jingye thought for a mont and suggested. “You can draw up a contract and I can help you find suitable people to work in the base. However, you’ll have to find soone to handle the managent affairs.”
“I’ll use robots.”
“That also works too.”
When Zi Yi and Lu Jingye freshened themselves up and ca downstairs, Dou Xiangling was currently seated in the living room with Ian while they chatted.
Zi Yi was surprised to see Ian sitting there. She turned her head and asked Lu Jingye, “He ca with you?”
“No.”
As soon as he said that, Dou Xiangling and Ian turned around to look over at them at the sa ti.
Ian smiled and said to Zi Yi, “Zi, I’ve brought the contract for the transfer of the winery with that I had promised you previously. Since you’re here, let’s sign the contract.”
He then pointed to a thick stack of papers placed on the table.
Zi Yi was a little surprised. “You’re quick.”
She then went down to the ground floor with Lu Jingye and walked over to the sofa area.
She grabbed the thick stack of docunts and quickly browsed through it, only to be even more surprised by the contents. “You don’t want anything?”
“Of course, I an what I said.”
Ian truly did not leave anything for himself. Not to ntion he had handed over the entire winery to her, he had even given her the horses he raised there.
“But I hope that after Zi takes over the winery, you can allow the workers to continue staying there… Zi, you can rest assured, those workers are all farrs who stay nearby and they are serious and responsible for their work. Even if you’re not there, they would not have other insidious thoughts.”
Ziyi nodded and said, “Okay.”
It was Ian’s turn to be surprised. “You’re not going to consider it?”
Zi Yi gave him a puzzled look.
The corner of his lips curled up and he smiled. “I like people who are like Zi, frank and straightforward.”
As soon as those words ca out of his mouth, he felt chills run down his spine. He subconsciously turned around to look at Lu Jingye, who was seated beside Zi Yi, while she was looking at him with a gentle expression. He sohow felt that Lu Jingye’s gaze towards him contained malice.
Lu Jingye took the docunts from Zi Yi’s hands and said to her, “Just give a project proposal if you need anything done, I’ll send soone over to help you take care of it.”
Zi Yi nodded her head and looked towards Ian. “I will use half of the winery’s land to construct a research base. I hope that you’ll be able to help out a little and look after it in the future.”
“Research base? For what kind of research?”
Zi Yi briefly said, “For researching the human gene structure.”
“Ah!”
Ian widened his eyes, as he was stunned by her words. A few seconds later, he asked in surprise, “This technology is presently beyond the reach of all the biologists from all around the world. Why did you think of constructing a research base to conduct this research?”
Ian felt that Zi Yi simply had nothing to do. “Most importantly, investing a massive amount of money into this research lab is only considered a small matter. Where would you find such talents in the field?”
People who were talented in the field were all taken in by various countries.
Ian looked towards Lu Jingye and said, “Lu, what kind of shock did your girlfriend receive?”
Lu Jingye looked at Zi Yi and ignored Ian. “How much funds do you plan to invest?”
“In the early stage, I’ll invest 50 billion to build the lab.” Zi Yi felt that she was very poor after she said that. She then looked over to Ian and said, “I will give you 1% of the shares, if you can guarantee that my research base will not be disturbed by anyone.”
“Why only 1%?” Ian was still in shock from hearing 50 billion coming out of Zi Yi’s mouth. He had the illusion that money was simply random numbers in her point of view.
He did not think that Zi Yi’s research lab could produce any results at all and so, he deliberately said, “I’m worried that 1% of the shares is not even enough for to hire n and look after the place for you.”
Zi Yi glanced at him and coldly said, “If you don’t want the 1%, you can choose not to take it. I’ll give you hundreds of millions for security fees annually.”
“Pft… How much did you say are the security fees?”
“Hundreds of million.”
Ian felt that Zi Yi had gone crazy and looked towards Lu Jingye with a sympathetic gaze. “Lu, you’re allowing your woman to behave like this, however she likes?”
Lu Jingye did not even bother to look up and he said in a calm voice, “You only need to choose one of the two options Yiyi gave you.”
Ian could not stand how Lu Jingye had pampered Zi Yi and muttered, “The price of this woman fooling around is too expensive. Only a rich boss like you can afford to let her go about willfully… Alright then, I’m not soone who would make use of the opportunity to extort money. I just want that 1% of shares, and that will do.”
He’ll just treat it as returning Lu Jingye a favor.
Zi Yi looked at him and called out. “Shadow.”
Shadow turned off its invisibility. “Master.”
“Imdiately draw up two contracts. The contents shall include…”
Ian listened to Zi Yi listing dozens of conditions and interests of both parties in one shot. He was so surprised that he widened his mouth in shock and forgot to respond.
He could not help but think,?“If this woman were to get involved in business, she would definitely be no joke.”
Dou Xiangling who was seated next to her had been keeping quiet ever since the three of them started discussing business. She was unable to get a word in, but she was proud of her cousin’s capabilities deep down.
Shadow drafted out the contract as soon as Zi Yi finished listing down the terms. She then asked Ian. “You can bring up any requests. Once this contract is signed, you must keep it confidential and it cannot be changed again in the future.”
Ian thought that since she was Lu Jingye’s girlfriend, he’ll just treat it as playing with a child. “I don’t have any requests on my side. We’ll sign according to this contract.”
In the future, Ian finally understood the aning of regretting until his intestines turned green.
Zi Yi nodded her head and looked towards Lu Jingye. He then called for Housekeeper Ye and said, “Go fetch the printed copy of the contract from my study room.”
Housekeeper Ye imdiately went to fetch the contract.
The both of them signed the contract together and Zi Yi said, “I noticed that there’s a spacious farm near your winery. If you can acquire it, I hope that you can also help with it.”
Ian gave her an OK sign. “No problem, leave this type of small matters to .”
Zi Yi nodded in satisfaction.
Ian glanced over to Dou Xiangling and recalled the embarrassing mont that happened yesterday morning. He wished that he could remove all her mories related to the morning before.
He has previously been known as a gentleman in the high society of Country X. When has he done such a shaful act before outsiders? Not to ntion it was before such a beautiful lady.
Dou Xiangling sensed Ian’s gaze and looked back at him. She inexplicably thought of the incident in which he had played the violin for an entire night and a faint smile curled up on her lips.
Ian: “…”
