Chapter 474: Chapter 474 Heading to the Capital City

Hearing about Xia Yu’s investigation into his own family, Leiden’s expression immediately turned ugly.

It was true that there was severe infighting within his family, with three candidates vying for the role of heir alone.

Burdened by the sibling rivalry within the family, his grandfather, the Family Head, proposed a suggestion: have the three candidates negotiate business deals, and whoever could bring the greatest benefit to the family within a set time would become the heir.

Because Leiden’s girlfriend, Ning Zhixin, was from Xia Country, his first stop was naturally Xia Country.

He had indeed conducted research; he was very clear about what kind of market Xia Country was.

However, due to his noble status, he hadn’t given due respect to the newly established Tianhai Commerce, which led to this major blunder.

He had thought that once Yang Yu agreed, cooperation would be easy, but he hadn’t expected Yang Yu’s people to strip bare his family’s secrets.

"So that’s how it is." Shen Silin smiled slightly and looked up at Leiden, "Mr. Leiden, do you have a way to guarantee that after we sign the contract, all terms will definitely be honored?"

Leiden said, "As long as I take the contract back to my family and become the family heir, naturally, all terms of the contract will be honored."

"In other words, Yang Yu, in signing a contract with you, would still be betting on you becoming the Leiden Family heir, right?" Shen Silin laughed, "If you were Yang Yu, what do you think Yang Yu would do to maximize benefits?"

Leiden fell silent for a long time before finally voicing the answer he was reluctant to admit, "If I were Mr. Yang, I would definitely wait until the matter of the family heir is settled before signing a contract with the Klopus family."

"It seems Mr. Leiden does have some awareness after all." Shen Silin looked meaningfully at Leiden, "We’re not opposed to signing an early agreement with Mr. Leiden, supporting you in becoming the family heir, but please give us a reason to support you."

"Are you asking for a favor?" Leiden furrowed his brows tightly, falling into deep thought once again.

After a while, he raised his head and looked earnestly at Yang Yu and Shen Silin: "Mr. Yang, Ms. Shen, I’m truly sorry that, before becoming the family heir, I can’t make any promises to you, as they would be empty words."

"It’s fine." Shen Silin said, "As long as you’re willing to make a promise in advance, and after you become the heir, you just need to share two more tenths of the profit from the cooperation project with us. That is, we get seventy percent, and you get thirty percent."

"This promise you must sign and seal, but I, and Mr. Yang, can assure you with our personal integrity, as long as you keep to your promise, this secret agreement will never be made public."

Leiden’s expression turned very dark: "Ms. Shen, you mean to have me betray my family’s interests, to use those interests as your chip to support me?"

"Yes." Shen Silin nodded without a hint of concealment, "It might look like you’re at a loss, but the potential of Yang’s Alliance is something you can investigate. Right now, we’re not just talking about Tianhai Commerce, but also the Xiang Island Chamber of Commerce."

"In a little while, even the Yangcheng Chamber of Commerce might fall into our hands. With such huge potential, even if you give up twenty percent of the profits from these projects, it won’t be at a loss."

"Mr. Yang, Ms. Shen, thank you for your hospitality, but there’s no deal to be had between us." Leiden stood up, his face serious, "To ask me to betray my family’s interests for personal gain is something I cannot do. I may be a noble, and I can be arrogant, but I will not be despicable."

"Very good." Shen Silin smiled in understanding, "Xia Yu, Yang Yu, I think this contract can be signed, what do you think?"

On the phone, Xia Yu said, "Selin, if you think it’s okay, then there’s no problem. I’ll trust your judgment."

Yang Yu also nodded, "I think it’s fine too."

"You..." It took a while for Leiden to regain his composure, "Were you just testing me?"

"Yes." Shen Silin said, "We can’t dare to cooperate with someone who would sell out their family’s interests to become an heir."

"However, we won’t just sign this contract on a whim; we must add a condition. If you become the family heir, these contracts take immediate effect. If you can’t become the family heir, all contracts naturally become null and void."

This condition seemed to protect the interests of Tianhai Commerce, but in reality, it was offering full support for Leiden in the struggle for family succession.

Naturally understanding the significance of this condition, Leiden deeply bowed to Yang Yu and Shen Silin, "Mr. Yang, Ms. Shen, thank you both."

Shen Silin laughingly said, "Business is about mutual benefit; there’s no need for thanks. I’m also looking forward to the day when our Zhixin becomes the noble Mrs. Klopus."

Leiden sat down again and raised his glass, "Thank you both, I toast to you!"

After a full meal and plenty of drinks, the next thing was to sign the contract tomorrow.

With Xia Yu involved, Yang Yu didn’t need to worry about these matters; Xia Yu would naturally take care of everything.

Unexpectedly to Yang Yu, the next morning, Xia Yu called him, "Yang Yu, my grandmother has asked me to come home, and she’s made a special request for me to bring you along."

If it had been before, Yang Yu would have unhesitatingly refused.

But his relationship with Xia Yu was no longer as "pure" as before; if he didn’t go, it would be rather unacceptable: "Okay, after we finish with the Klopus family’s contract..."

"I’ve already taken care of it," Xia Yu said, "I pulled an all-nighter last night."

That’s when Yang Yu realized that Xia Yu stayed up all night to finish the work, so he could go to Yanjing with a clear mind.

"Xia Yu, you really didn’t have to work so hard..." Yang Yu felt somewhat touched and a bit guilty.

He had been too comfortable leaving everything to the two women, which was a bit too much.

Yet, he truly wasn’t as savvy and capable as they were; what could he do?

"It’s fine, I’ll just sleep on the plane." Xia Yu said, "See you at the airport."

Yang Yu nodded, "Okay, see you at the airport."

"What? Yang Yu is coming to Capital City?" Hearing the news, Li Chengyang, the Second Young Master of the Li Family, was grinding his teeth with resentment, "He dares to come to Capital City?"

"Yes, Second Young Master." The son of Li Family’s butler, Li Heng, nodded with certainty. "This information was released by someone from the Xia Family. Because of the matter with Xia Qing, apart from Mrs. Xia Sr., no one in the Xia Family has a good impression of that guy. It looks like this time, those members of the Xia Family are ready to embarrass Yang Yu."

"Heh, good." Li Chengyang laughed coldly, "Considering Mrs. Xia Sr. has asked Yang Yu to come to Capital City, she probably wants Yang Yu to let Tianhai City give up some benefits. I don’t care who benefits, but since the guy has come, I can’t let him off easily!"
