Two days remained until the deadline set by Mrs. Su and Ou Yunchen. Ou Yunchen had arranged to meet Mrs. Su at a cafe in the sky.
Seeing Ou Yunchen arrive empty-handed, Mrs. Su smiled at him, then shook her head. She knew this handsome man was only here to ask for an extension or another chance.
Mrs. Su sneered, "Do I need to remind you that you have only two days left on our agreement, and I still haven't seen those one hundred thousand shares?"
Ou Yunchen, however, sat back on the sofa relaxedly, his hands resting on the armrests, his legs crossed, gazing at the scenery outside the window.
Ou Yunchen leaned back comfortably, "I was thinking about where the new company should be located."
"Did you get the shares?" Mrs. Su's eyes brightened.
"Not yet," Ou Yunchen replied softly.
Mrs. Su, who had been slightly surprised, chuckled again. She had misjudged him, thinking he was already planning how to spend her money without having contributed anything.
Mrs. Su started to pick up her bag, "I don't think I need to waste my time here with you..."
"What should the company look like?" Ou Yunchen ignored her.
It seemed Ou Yunchen wasn't listening to Mrs. Su at all, but was lost in his own fantasy about his new identity.
Mrs. Su was getting angry. Just as she was about to stand up, a waiter approached.
"Sir, excuse me, there is a Mr. Huang who says he has an appointment with you. He is at the entrance."
Under Ou Yunchen's gaze, Mrs. Su slowly sat back down. Just hearing the surname, she knew it was someone from Longke Dye Company.
Ou Yunchen calmly replied, "Ask this lady if she wants to meet Mr. Huang."
The waiter repeated the message. Mrs. Su was still somewhat disbelieving. Even her shrewd husband hadn't managed to get the shares from Longke, so how could this handsome man who knew nothing about business have managed it?
Mrs. Su nodded. Soon, led by the waiter, the person who came to meet them was indeed Huang Xiaotian.
Ou Yunchen stood up, shook Huang Xiaotian's hand, and introduced the woman sitting there as just a friend, a witness.
After brief pleasantries, Huang Xiaotian took a contract from his bag. It detailed the price for purchasing the right to use the Longke factory. Since it was a third-party transfer, Huang Xiaotian was only acting as an agent; the actual seller was Huang Xiaotian's uncle, Huang Shunyi.
Ou Yunchen didn't know how Huang Xiaotian had persuaded Huang Shunyi to sell the factory, but according to the contract, by signing this transfer agreement, Ou Yunchen would become the official owner of the factory and would need to pay fifteen million immediately.
How could a derelict factory be worth fifteen million?
Even ten million would be the absolute maximum for that piece of land, Mrs. Su thought as she looked at the contract. No matter how she looked, she couldn't find the shares she wanted.
Mrs. Su muttered under her breath, "This contract..."
Ou Yunchen asked, "Aren't you going to sign?"
Huang Xiaotian, who was desperate for money, looked at the two of them in confusion. If he hadn't been pressed by creditors and hadn't been at his wit's end, he wouldn't have forced his uncle to sign the contract at gunpoint.
Ou Yunchen took the contract back from Mrs. Su and flicked it gently, "I did ask you."
Ou Yunchen took a fountain pen and a check from his inner jacket pocket. He signed a fifteen-million-dollar check in his personal name. The cashing of this check had been facilitated by Sister Hong. He had earned far more for Sister Hong over the years than this fifteen million.
Huang Xiaotian was a bit excited, "May I ask, are you buying my father's factory to build a new one?"
Ou Yunchen said sternly, "No, I will resell it to this lady."
Huang Xiaotian thought Ou Yunchen was joking and laughed a few times. He had the check and could finally pay off his debts and sleep soundly. His wife wouldn't divorce him, and he had made countless promises to live a better life.
After seeing Huang Xiaotian off, Mrs. Su snorted. Ou Yunchen took a photo with his phone and sent a message.
Soon after, Mrs. Su's phone rang. It was her lawyer.
Mrs. Su said, "I'm going to take a call."
Ou Yunchen replied, "Please do."
When Mrs. Su returned, the contract on Ou Yunchen's table was gone.
Mrs. Su quickly pressed, "How did you know about the hidden additional clause for the shares related to the land?"
This time, it was Ou Yunchen's turn to smile without speaking. He crossed his arms and gazed affectionately at the proud lady who had just acted indifferent.
Mrs. Su sat back on the sofa, "Alright, name your price."
"Fifty million."
Mrs. Su's mouth fell open. In less than a few minutes, this man's asking price had doubled. She regretted not signing the fifteen-million-dollar contract earlier. To buy a piece of land plus Mrs. Su's ten thousand shares for fifteen million was a huge bargain! The fair market value of those ten thousand shares alone was over thirty million.
Ou Yunchen watched Mrs. Su's discomfiture and his smile faded, replaced by a serious expression.
Ou Yunchen said, "I have always considered our relationship as a partnership. The most important thing in a partnership is mutual trust, don't you agree, Mrs. Su?"
Deception?
That's right, Ou Yunchen said he was best at disguise. Mrs. Su suddenly realized. This man wasn't just disguising himself; he was playing the wolf in sheep's clothing. When others thought they had the upper hand, they were actually falling into his trap. Both Huang Xiaotian and Mrs. Su were just prey for Ou Yunchen.
She happened to have recently read a quote, "The best hunter appears in the form of prey." She should really give it to Mrs. Su.
Mrs. Su said, "Wait for my news. I will go to Swartz with my lawyer. Your new identity will begin there."
Mrs. Su picked up her expensive platinum handbag and stood before Ou Yunchen, looking down at him. This time, she had to treat her partner with proper respect.
