For the time being, he cleared his head of those evil thoughts. Zhang Xiaohua arranged his shirt collar, shrugged his nose, took a deep breath and finally sat beside his mother.
Before, Zhang Xiaohua wasn't able to see clearly, but while his mother's face still looked dignified, she also looked slightly bitter and angry. Her face was flushed red from frustration.
Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but turn and stare at the Cao family with indignation in his heart.
"How dare they bully my mother? Just look at those two good for nothings smiling and smiling!"
Zhang Xiaohua didn't dare to say that his life experience was rich, but he had encountered countless types of people in his previous life. This taught him how to read people's thoughts from their expressions and gestures and also gave him the ability to distinguish between those with good intentions and those with evil intentions.
At this moment in time, in the eyes of Zhang Xiaohua, the Cao couple was nothing but a pair of smiling tigers, hiding their knives with smiles.
Looking around, Zhang Xiaohua saw Cao Feifei again, but found that her head had fallen deep into her chest and was about to be buried in that deep navel line. She seemed unwilling to make eye contact.
Judging from his memories, the original owner of this body should have had a very deep feeling towards this Cao Feifei, with the two of them having been friends since childhood. There was even a marriage contract, so she shouldn't have been acting so shy.
In addition, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't understand why her face had shown a brief expression of anger and disgust when he entered the room.
he thought, he wasn't planning to get hung up over it!
Before he went to his mother, Zhang Xiaohua politely asked: "Mum, were you looking for me?"
Zhang Shaofang was the name of Zhang Xiaohua's mother, she appeared to be at the same age as the Cao couple, around 40 years old.
She looked up at her son for a brief moment, before she lowered her head and gently sighed, showing her frustration.
As he saw his mother sigh and groan, Zhang Xiaohua faintly felt that things weren't going to go well. Sure enough, at this time, Cao Dequan said: "Xiao-Hua, today we have something to discuss with you. It could actually be said that Uncle Cao is sending you money."
"Are you sending me money?" Listening to him, Zhang Xiaohua was displeased. It seemed that his mother was being bullied by them before he had arrived, as such, he couldn't care less about etiquette. He sat down and asked, "So, what is this about money?"
"Oh, huh, huh, huh..." Cao Dequan smiled awkwardly, but his eyes didn't shy away from Zhang Xiaohua's look of disgust.
"Ah Little Xiao, this year's profit was not very good. However, there is a way for you to earn some more money. There will be millions to be earned, but that depends on whether you are willing."
"Could you get straight to the point please?" Zhang Xiaohua could not be bothered to hear him ramble on anymore and through Cao Dequan's sinister smile and embarrassed look filled with anger, Zhang Xiaohua had already made up his mind that this guy was evil.
"Okay!" Cao Dequan replied and no longer whirled around the topic. "I'd like you to transfer the 4% shares your father put under your name. According to the market price, the current total value of the company is 50 billion yuan, that is to say, 4% shares would be valued around 2 billion yuan. So, considering our relationship and giving face to your dad, Uncle Cao can give you 2.5 billion yuan. What do you say?"
Cao Dequan's revealed a smile and continued to add: "2.5 billion, haha, think about all you could do with it, this is not a small number. Of course, Uncle Cao doesn't mind helping you and your mother out. After all, you also know that your father's death has left your family in a lot of debt. With this money, you and your mother can also reduce the burden on your lives, you agree with Uncle, right?"
thought Zhang Xiaohua, he couldn't help but smile. It turned out that this old fox wanted to completely swallow the company for himself but wasn't even willing to pay the price, he even tried to low ball him.
If he had said this before to the former Xiao-Hua, it might have worked on that brain dead fool, but unfortunately, he was too little too late.
As for today's Zhang Xiaohua, he considered his words no different from farting noises.
Of course, in the eyes of Cao Dequan, Zhang Xiaohua had always been a waste whose only talent was living a life of debauchery and using the company dividends he had earned. Now that his father is dead, his squandering ways had to be reduced. He was offering him 2.5 billion to squander, he expected the little twerp to shed tears of joy. Was there even a reason to refuse?
Unexpectedly, when Cao Dequan was preparing himself to bring out the contract, he heard Zhang Xiaohua suddenly say: "Uncle Cao, I have a few issues that I don't understand. I wonder if I can ask you one or two questions today."
Zhang Xiaohua leaned forward and wrapped an arm over his mother's shoulder to comfort her. The other hand was holding his mother's cold hands to provide her with warmth.
Cao Dequan was shocked. In his mind, he had half-expected the boy to kiss his feet after becoming overcome with happiness.
He just offered to give him 2.5 billion yuan and this kid hadn't even smiled, instead, he was so calm, it was so strange. This was completely unlike the boy who was usually greedy for even the smallest bit of cash to squander!
However, as an elder, Cao Dequan couldn't reveal his frustration. Moreover, after all the purpose of this visit was to get the shares from under this kid's name. Only in this way could he suppress the other shareholders in the company and then slowly take the company for himself.
He thought that he could temporarily give the boy something soft to chew on and as long as he got the shares, he didn't mind raising the price but he was not willing to go higher than 3.5 billion yuan. If that wasn't enough to satisfy the boy, then it would not be too late for him to give a harsh lesson to this widow and son.
At this thought, Cao Dequan grinned and he dressed up his face with a kind expression: "Your father and I were both old friends. Today, you called me an Uncle. So naturally, we are a family. Anything you don't understand, you can just ask and Uncle Cao will try to help."
Zhang Xiaohua snorted with a sly grin and mentally rolled his eyes with disdain. In a somewhat condescending tone, he asked, "Uncle Cao, I just want to know... When the company was in a crisis and my dad was running around outside to try and borrow money to save the company. Where were you and your 2.5 billion?"
When Cao Dequan heard that, a rush of blood flowed straight to his head and sweat immediately overflowed from
his forehead. Slowly a bead of sweat slid down to the corner of his mouth, as rage also started to fill him. He actually felt that his heart became very flustered and he was actually caught off guard. He was speechless!
thought Cao Dequan.
Seeing her husband's embarrassed look, the vulgar old flower beside him suddenly smirked and quickly helped Cao Dequan unravel the road: "Oh, Xiao-Hua, your father was sick at that time and didn't have time for Uncle Cao. We're not exaggerating here. If it wasn't for your Uncle Cao, then the company would have been closed a long time ago. It would never have reached the scale and achievements of today!"
Zhang Xiaohua also smiled. He was waiting for these words exactly. Then, he licked his lips and smiled as he said: "As you said, I shouldn't abandon the existing shares, since the company is booming today. It shows that there is room for improvement, which means the value of my shares would increase. Even if it takes thirty or forty years to double in value, I'm willing to wait it out."
As soon as he said this he knew that the race was in full swing. Silently the old woman lowered her head, the witch no longer dared to intervene easily. At the same time, Cao Dequan took a look at her and she could not help but look away in shame, she knew she had been played.
Cao Dequan forced himself to calm down and soothe his fury, in order to achieve his goals, he was willing to let this go. He could have revenge for this later, so Cao Dequan put on a humoured face and broke into a fake laugh: "Xiao-Hua, hahaha, in fact, your aunt's meaning is this... You should think of the future, after all, when you marry Feifei, wouldn't you get all the shares back anyway? And even more? So, why not sell that 4% and gain even more later on?"
"After all, you are engaged to our daughter Feifei, so we'll be family sooner or later. Today you should transfer your shares to me first, and then in the future, when I'm old, I will pass it onto you and Feifei, okay?
Think of it as your Uncle Cao's temporary protection, if you sell to me we will all be stronger together. It'll also allow us to own 51% of the company which will give us more power over those outsiders."
After he said this, Cao Dequan gently looked to Cao Feifei next to him and gently nudged her.
Cao Feifei reacted immediately and looked up at Zhang Xiaohua and gave him a forced smile. "Yeah, Xiao-Hua. No matter how much money my dad makes, it will be for us. Don't hesitate and just sell the shares to my dad as soon as possible."
Suddenly after hearing Cao Feifei's voice, Zhang Xiaohua felt his head was about to explode, frames of footage began to flash in his mind, followed by a few pieces of memory beginning to emerge.
Cao Feifei's voice was like a key, which suddenly opened up Zhang Xiaohua's memory.
After a short time, Zhang Xiaohua finally understood why the original owner of the body had committed suicide and why he felt inexplicable anger and sadness in his heart. After he absorbed the previous owner's soul. At the moment, he finally found the source. It was all because of this Cao Feifei!
Indeed, just yesterday afternoon, Cao Feifei took advantage of his mother being absent and had privately proposed to break up the engagement with Zhang Xiaohua. The reason she stated for the breakup, was because of his family's situation. Cao Feifei had felt that he was no longer worthy of her and she had claimed that she had liked another person, so-called for Zhang Xiaohua to give up on the engagement.
In order to retain the marriage contract, Zhang Xiaohua had even threatened Cao Feifei with his own death. However, Cao Feifei not only remained indifferent but also threatened to kill Zhang Xiaohua.
Therefore, Zhang Xiaohua had resolutely committed suicide, which allowed his soul to take over.
Ten years of feelings, were actually destroyed by greed.
The most annoying thing was that yesterday she had proposed that they should break up to him, but today she actually dared to come to see him. She was clearly shameless!
If he was replaced by the Zhang Xiaohua of old, in order to gain her back, maybe he would have listened to Cao Feifei and sell the shares to her father.
However, if Cao Feifei still held onto such a lucky idea now, she was just too naive.
At this point, Zhang Xiaohua could be sure that there wasn't one good seed in that family. Since that was the case, what was it in for him to be kind to them?
Zhang Xiaohua directly ignored the existence of Cao Feifei and stared at Cao Dequan with his eyes full of hatred, and sneered: "Wouldn't the first thing you do, after I transfer the shares to you, be to dissolve my marriage contract with your daughter?"
It was clear that Zhang Xiaohua's words had hit the nail on the head, he was planning to trick him into agreeing and then use this loophole out.
Cao Dequan was very surprised, he really couldn't understand how this kid suddenly became so far-sighted?
When his sentence was finished, Zhang Xiaohua was depressed. He remembered reading novels with similar situations before. He could not help but laugh at this type of story back then and now finding this kind of thing suddenly fall upon his own lap, the taste of karma really does make people feel bad!
Since the truth had been revealed, Cao Dequan was also finally anxious and immediately tore off his false smile, with a look of contempt, he got up and pointed his fat stubby finger at Zhang Xiaohua before he sternly asked: "In a word, are you selling or not selling?"
"Not selling!" Zhang Xiaohua replied as he rejected the offer without even bothering to consider it.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
For the time being, he cleared his head of those evil thoughts. Zhang Xiaohua arranged his shirt collar, shrugged his nose, took a deep breath and finally sat beside his mother.

Today you should transfer your shares to me first, and then in the future, when I'm old, I will pass it onto you and Feifei, okay?Think of it as your Uncle Cao's temporary protection, if you sell to me we will all be stronger together. It'll also allow us to own 51% of the company which will give us more power over those outsiders."After he said this, Cao Dequan gently looked to Cao Feifei next to him and gently nudged her.Cao Feifei reacted immediately and looked up at Zhang Xiaohua and gave him a forced smile. "Yeah, Xiao-Hua. No matter how much money my dad makes, it will be for us. Don't hesitate and just sell the shares to my dad as soon as possible."Suddenly after hearing Cao Feifei's voice, Zhang Xiaohua felt his head was about to explode, frames of footage began to flash in his mind, followed by a few pieces of memory beginning to emerge.Cao Feifei's voice was like a key, which suddenly opened up Zhang Xiaohua's memory.After a short time, Zhang Xiaohua finally understood why the original owner of the body had committed suicide and why he felt inexplicable anger and sadness in his heart. After he absorbed the previous owner's soul. At the moment, he finally found the source. It was all because of this Cao Feifei!Indeed, just yesterday afternoon, Cao Feifei took advantage of his mother being absent and had privately proposed to break up the engagement with Zhang Xiaohua. The reason she stated for the breakup, was because of his family's situation. Cao Feifei had felt that he was no longer worthy of her and she had claimed that she had liked another person, so-called for Zhang Xiaohua to give up on the engagement.In order to retain the marriage contract, Zhang Xiaohua had even threatened Cao Feifei with his own death. However, Cao Feifei not only remained indifferent but also threatened to kill Zhang Xiaohua.Therefore, Zhang Xiaohua had resolutely committed suicide, which allowed his soul to take over.Ten years of feelings, were actually destroyed by greed.The most annoying thing was that yesterday she had proposed that they should break up to him, but today she actually dared to come to see him. She was clearly shameless!If he was replaced by the Zhang Xiaohua of old, in order to gain her back, maybe he would have listened to Cao Feifei and sell the shares to her father.However, if Cao Feifei still held onto such a lucky idea now, she was just too naive.At this point, Zhang Xiaohua could be sure that there wasn't one good seed in that family. Since that was the case, what was it in for him to be kind to them?Zhang Xiaohua directly ignored the existence of Cao Feifei and stared at Cao Dequan with his eyes full of hatred, and sneered: "Wouldn't the first thing you do, after I transfer the shares to you, be to dissolve my marriage contract with your daughter?"It was clear that Zhang Xiaohua's words had hit the nail on the head, he was planning to trick him into agreeing and then use this loophole out.Cao Dequan was very surprised, he really couldn't understand how this kid suddenly became so far-sighted?When his sentence was finished, Zhang Xiaohua was depressed. He remembered reading novels with similar situations before. He could not help but laugh at this type of story back then and now finding this kind of thing suddenly fall upon his own lap, the taste of karma really does make people feel bad!Since the truth had been revealed, Cao Dequan was also finally anxious and immediately tore off his false smile, with a look of contempt, he got up and pointed his fat stubby finger at Zhang Xiaohua before he sternly asked: "In a word, are you selling or not selling?""Not selling!" Zhang Xiaohua replied as he rejected the offer without even bothering to consider it.
