Chapter 191 Is this asking or giving?
Li Zhen looked at Lu Xingchen for a moment, then took out a document from the file bag and handed it to her.
When Lu Xingchen took it and took a look, it turned out to be the contract to restrict similar competition signed between her and Wang Yunchao. It was not difficult to figure out that this was what Li Zhen got from Wang Yunchao.
She looked at Li Zhen, "You want me to sell Mastermind to you?"
Li Zhen asked back: "If so, would you be willing?"
Lu Xingchen's eyes tightened slightly, but he answered honestly: "Yes."
As always, she kept her word, but unfortunately, she refused to admit that she liked him. "Aren't you worried that I'm the next Wang Yunchao, who just changed the method to cheat the contract from you?"
If she loses the money, she can earn it again, and there will be other things in the business, but she only has one mother, and Lu Xingchen is far more important than anything else. "If you can make Lu Wenli divorce, then it doesn't matter if you are the second Wang Yunchao."
Li Zhen couldn't help but think of a sentence. She could rely on her looks but she insisted on relying on her strength. In fact, she just gave in, acted coquettishly, and played tricks. He could get away with it. "I'm not Lu Wenli's person. It's not that difficult to get him to divorce."
But ever since Lu Xingchen knew that Lu Wenli was her biological father, he had been her nightmare, and in the past seven years he had appeared in front of her from time to time like a nightmare. She did not respond to this topic.
Li Zhen asked, "Aren't you curious about how I dealt with Lu Wenli?"
Lu Xingchen: "I'm curious, but you know who he is to me, so you should consider my situation."
Li Zhen asked: "Why should I consider your situation?"
Lu Xingchen looked at him, "Because you want to talk to me about sincerity."
Li Zhen was so angry that he laughed at her answer.
Lu Xingchen didn't intend to beat around the bush on this topic, and directly said, "Master Zhiduo, I can sell it to you."
Li Zhen picked up the coffee and took a sip. "I won't do this unless both parties are willing."
So he doesn't want Mastermind? "Then what do you want me to do?"
Li Zhen put the coffee cup back on the table and said seriously, "I will provide you with enough funds, you can run the business on your own."
He had thought of many possibilities, even including himself, but Lu Xingchen had never thought of this point, so he looked at Li Zhen in shock and asked uncertainly: "Do you mean to cooperate with me to run a new company?"
"Not really." Li Zhen answered straightforwardly, "I'll give you two choices. One is that I invest and you provide the technology, and then we each hold corresponding shares. The other is that I invest but don't hold shares, you bear the profits and losses, and pay me interest and dividends."
Lu Xingchen's scalp tingled when she heard this, because no matter which one she chose, it was a long-awaited opportunity for her. His suggestion undoubtedly helped her shorten the process. "You don't have to do this for me."
"I'm not doing it for you, but I'm optimistic about this project. Besides, no matter which one you choose, I'll be the beneficiary."
"You can definitely ask me to hand over the Mastermind to Zhencheng."
"That's yours, and what I want is mutual affection."
Lu Xingchen wanted to say that there was no need to use the term "mutual affection", but any other terms were secondary now, because he not only helped her to deal with Lu Wenli and catch Wang Yunchao, he also showed such sincerity, and the last condition was to profit from her, which actually provided her with an opportunity.
Li Zhen saw her weighing the pros and cons again and again, and couldn't help but say: "I am only talking to you as a businessman now, are you bringing in the emotion of 'I like you'?"
"No." Actually, there was, so she felt a little pressured. Lu Xingchen felt a little uncomfortable because she was trying to cover up too quickly.
Li Zhen saw it clearly, "Didn't you say that keeping public and private affairs separate is a basic professional quality? Or is it because I like you or I want to take revenge on you that you don't dare to discuss this business with me?"
It has to be said that Li Zhen is really strong in front of her now, and he is unabashedly aggressive no matter in personal feelings or official and private matters.
Li Zhen looked at her and said, "Or, you actually want to sell Zhiduoxingren to me. I can accept that and let you work hard for Zhencheng all the time."
Of course, Lu Xingchen wanted to be more independent. "I choose the second option. Mr. Li will invest in me. I will be responsible for the profit and loss. I will give you all the interest and dividends."
Li Zhen nodded slightly: "But I have a condition."
"You said."
"After you become independent, no matter how much benefit others offer you in any project, as long as I have a need, you must cooperate with me first."
"Of course, Mr. Li's offer is beneficial to me. Who wouldn't want to cooperate with Zhencheng?"
Li Zhen snorted inaudibly, "That may not be the case. What if you still want to compare prices from three different stores?"
It was really a combination of serious business and ridicule, but Lu Xingchen was willing to praise him now, and didn't mind being ridiculed. "When the time comes, you are also welcome to compare prices and see if I am the best partner."
At this point, Lu Xingchen's phone lit up.
Li Zhen was just looking down to get his coffee when he looked up and saw the phone on her desk showing an incoming call from "Mr. Chu". His originally good mood instantly dropped by a lot. He picked up the coffee expressionlessly and watched Lu Xingchen answer the phone.
Not knowing what the other party said, Lu Xingchen, who was holding the phone, called out, "Second Brother."
Li Zhen almost choked on the coffee in his mouth. He coughed a few times with his mouth closed. Lu Xingchen raised his eyelids and looked at him. He lowered his eyes and swallowed the coffee.
Chu Zeyan asked on the other end of the phone: "Did you meet Lu Wenli?"
Lu Xingchen: "Please remember me when we meet."
Chu Zeyan asked again: "Is the matter resolved?"
Lu Xingchen glanced at Li Zhen and said, "It's resolved. I've really troubled you recently."
Chu Zeyan: "I don't think I can help at all."
Lu Xingchen: "When you say that, it sounds like all the favors I received were fake."
Chu Zeyan chuckled: "Then let's have dinner together some other day."
Lu Xingchen: "Okay, contact me anytime you have time."
After the call ended, Lu Xingchen put the phone back on the table.
Li Zhen said indifferently: "When did I have a second brother?"
Lu Xingchen looked at him for a moment and said, "Not long."
Li Zhen sneered in his heart, and said sarcastically with a blank expression, "We have known each other for such a long time, and I have never heard you call me brother."
Lu Xingchen didn’t want to provoke him today, so he changed to the main topic and asked, “Wang Yunchao, how are you going to deal with it?”
Instead, he changed the subject. Li Zhen said, "If you want to use him to investigate what happened a few years ago, you can't handle it for now."
After saying this, he explained to Lu Xingchen again.
"At present, Wang Yunchao only thinks that I want to investigate him. He begged me not to let you know. I agreed. The price is that he gives me your restrictive contract and solves the problem of Lu Wenli's loan. You can regard this matter as me solving it for you, and then you agree to cooperate with me."
