Chapter 489: Chapter 489: Guiding Life_1

Difficult doesn’t mean impossible.

Old Lady Luo was shrewd, and she quickly understood that 30% of the shares were far from satisfying Tao Pinggui’s appetite. Her eyes swiveled as she tentatively asked, "How about this, President Tao, if you add another fifty million, I’ll give you 40% of the shares?"

Tao Pinggui shook his head and spoke indifferently, "I will not increase the money, and as for the shares, I want 80%!"

Two billion for 80% of the shares.

Those were the terms of Tao Pinggui.

"Additionally, you Luo Group still owe us fifty million, so, I will only put forward one billion and five hundred million!"

Tao Pinggui spoke coldly, "Old Lady, if you think it’s acceptable, I will have someone talk with the people from Yintong tomorrow."

Old Lady Luo looked troubled, "President Tao, we only hold a total of 85% of the shares."

"You’re asking for 80%, leaving only 5% for our Luo Family..."

"Old Lady, to put it bluntly, I’m the one helping you retrieve your property, you are beseeching me, not the other way around."

Tao Pinggui said indifferently, "5%, that’s already sufficient for your living."

"Furthermore, I must emphasize, once Tao’s Commerce Guild takes over Luo’s Group, all traces of Luo’s Group must be erased. In other words, there will be no more Luo’s Group, only Tao’s Commerce Guild’s Jiangling branch."

"Understand?"

The takeover of Luo’s Group and renaming it to Tao’s Commerce Guild Jiangling branch?

Old Lady Luo felt a pang of sadness. Her husband’s Luo Group, which he had founded, would be destroyed by her own hands. But if she didn’t agree, how would she and her children and grandchildren survive?

She glanced at the firmly closed door and squeezed out a smile, "President Tao, it’s getting late, and our cooperation agreements can’t be discussed in a short while."

"If you don’t mind, why don’t you spend the night here, and we can talk in more detail tomorrow?"

Fearing his refusal, Old Lady Luo smiled slyly and continued, "In a bit, how about I have Zi Tong bring you a cup of water upstairs?"

Bring water? Offer a bed?

Tao Pinggui was intrigued, but he feigned decency, "Isn’t that a bit improper?"

"For an outsider to stay at your place, especially since Miss Zi Tong is not yet married..."

"It’s no issue. You’re about to be a shareholder in our Luo Group, we’re nearly family. There’s nothing wrong with that."

Old Lady Luo waved her hands repeatedly, chuckling, "Actually, I, this old woman, have my own selfish reasons too. These past few days, the people from Yintong, Mr. Gao and his folks, have been harassing us at our home, urging us to move out quickly. With you here, they certainly won’t dare to come again."

"And it’s this matter that’s putting a lot of pressure on Zi Tong. She won’t listen to us and has been downcast at home all day."

"If a successful individual like President Tao could provide some guidance for her, I believe she could slowly come out of it."

"Don’t you agree?"

Old Lady Luo had a good plan in mind, on one hand, having Tao Pinggui stay the night would deter Gao Shou, and on the other, she hoped her granddaughter could quickly wrap up Tao Pinggui.

Business situations can change dramatically—who knows if in the next second Tao Pinggui might renege on his investment offer? So, Old Lady Luo was determined to have Luo Zitong take care of Tao Pinggui, ideally persuading him to leave a little more of the shares to the Luo Family.

Tao Pinggui nodded, with an unmistakable glint of amusement in his eyes, "Alright, then I’ll stay the night and offer some life guidance to Miss Zi Tong."

"Excellent!"

Old Lady Luo exclaimed excitedly, "Then I’ll have Guihua prepare a room for you."

With that, she turned to Luo Yuantu and said, "Yuantu, go talk to Zi Tong and persuade her. Also, call Guihua out to clear the room on the third floor’s east side."

"Mom, are we really going through with this?"

To send his own daughter into the tiger’s den by his own hands, Luo Yuantu felt indescribably uncomfortable at the thought.

"Great things are not achieved by adhering to trivial matters, haven’t I taught you that?"

Old Lady Luo said with a stern voice, "Zi Tong is now the only hope for our Luo Family. If she can secure Tao Pinggui, our Luo Family will rise again!"

"Your illness will get better, and your debts, with Tao Pinggui present, do you think Wei Gang will still dare to demand repayment from you? He would probably tear up the I.O.U. and swallow it!"

Luo Yuantu ignored the preceding remarks, but the latter struck a chord, causing him to abruptly lift his head.

Right! If Zi Tong becomes Tao Pinggui’s woman, wouldn’t I become Tao Pinggui’s father-in-law?

Even if Wei Gang were powerful, he wouldn’t dare to trouble the father-in-law of the renowned person in charge of Tao’s Commerce Guild, would he?

With that revelation, Luo Yuantu’s guilt vanished, and he nodded, replying, "Mom, don’t worry, Zi Tong has always listened to me. I’ll go talk to her."

At this very moment, inside the room, Luo Zitong was covering her face with her hands, crying. Even though her mother’s words were enticing, she truly did not want to entertain that bald man.

Knock knock!

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, followed by Luo Yuantu’s voice, "Guihua, come out first, mom wants you to clear the room on the third floor’s east side."

"Oh, right away."

Chen Guihua responded, stepping out of the room. Before leaving, she specially instructed, "Zi Tong, think carefully. Whether our family can soar to great heights and live a life above others, it all depends on you..."
