The next day, I was called outside the VIP building by Xiaoqin’s uncle, Ren Hongde, the chairman of Qingzi Education Group, and he told me about the video call between him and Ai Shuqiao.

In order to eliminate Aunt Ren's worries, Ren Hongde, the older brother, plans to exchange a certain proportion of the shares of Qingzi Education Group with Ai Shuqiao for the freedom of brother and sister Amy and I.

If the sister control is as good as Ren Hongde, he can be regarded as a respectable senior, but I am not particularly optimistic about his plan.

On the one hand, for Ai Shuqiao, "the interest is overwhelming." If she still has a high interest in Amy and me, she may not exchange it for shares in the education group.

On the other hand, even Ren Hongde himself estimated that Ai Shuqiao would not let go of Amy directly and would continue to squeeze her daughter's commercial value until she expired as an acting star.

If I only exchanged shares for my personal freedom, and Amy would still be held in the hands of that old witch for a long time, what was the point of it all?

Sure enough, Ren Hongde told me that although Ai Shuqiao showed a certain interest in the shares of Qingzi Education Group, she had no intention of letting go of Amy at the beginning.

"Are you kidding me? Although I have dabbled in the pharmaceutical industry a little bit, my main business is still an entertainment agency. How can I let my popular artists terminate their contracts at will?"

She did not consider herself to be a mother at all, as if Amy was just an ordinary contracted artist under her.

"However, there is some talk with Ye Lin." According to Ren Hongde's recollection, Ai Shuqiao said to him through the screen with a smile and no concealment of her queenly attitude of looking down on her ministers.

"Recently, I suddenly felt that my son might not be as useful as I thought, so as long as the trading shares proposed by Mr. Ren are suitable, I might let him go."

Although I know that Ai Shuqiao has always been so ruthless, I still felt a little sad when I heard her say this.

It must be because I heard from Dr. Yu that I was in a potentially life-threatening state of poisoning due to eating a blue morpho butterfly. There is no tomorrow, so even if I surrender to her, I probably won’t be of any use, so Unlike Amy, my value to her is currently infinitely close to zero.

Why not exchange a sick, disobedient child for the shares and assets of a large group?

I'm not surprised that Ai Shuqiao treated me like this, but I don't want to see the day when she treats Amy like this.

Even for me, a defective product that in Ai Shuqiao's eyes was about to be killed due to poisoning, she still wanted to sell it at a good price and asked Ren Hongde for 10% of the group's shares.

"Ms. Ai Shuqiao, you are joking this time." Ren Hongde said with a straight face, "I only hold 60% of the group's shares. If I give you 10%, I will not hold 51%. We no longer have absolute decision-making power over the group.”

"And if I sell more than 5% of the shares, according to regulations, I have to convene other members of the board of directors to make a resolution."

"That's not my problem." Ai Shuqiao said coldly, "And I never joke."

Ren Hongde is also an old man who has experienced many business negotiations and has been struggling for many years. He and Ai Shuqiao argued hard. On the one hand, he hinted to Ai Shuqiao not to be greedy. On the other hand, he said: If you want 10% of the shares, Ye Lin and Amy, brothers and sisters, have to be sold in bundles, and they are not worth the price if sold separately.

Your sister, when did Amy and I join KFC for luxurious lunch?

But I have to say that Ren Hongde was right in his insistence. If I was the only one to gain freedom, it would be completely meaningless. Ren Hongde must have understood the psychology of me, who is also a sister control, so he expressed this to Ai Shuqiao.

"Mr. Ren, you have no sincerity at all." Ai Shuqiao accused the gray-haired Ren Hongde, "You actually want to buy two children from a mother with only 10% of the shares..."

The kind of attitude shown by Ai Shuqiao that harmed her rights and interests made Ren Hongde, who had been in shopping malls for a long time and met all kinds of people, unable to keep calm.

"It is because you are not worthy of being a mother that I want to let those two children go free. You are the one who put your children up for sale."

"Everyone has value." Ai Shuqiao's expression did not change at all, "It's just that some have more and some have less. If a mother's child is worth a lot of money, she should be proud."

"Mr. Ren, now I am proud in my heart to enhance the value of my two children."

Over the years, Ren Hongde has seen a lot of backstabbing and profit-seeking businessmen, but it is unheard of for people like Ai Shuqiao to treat their children like objects. After all, the Chinese people have a "tiger that is not poisonous" The tradition of "forsaken children", at least subjectively speaking, involves more cheating on fathers and fewer cheating on children.

Ren Hongde couldn't understand why Ai Shuqiao could say that without blushing, and the smile on her lips was so peaceful.

"So, Mr. Ren, you should understand my good intentions as a mother, and then give a sincere share ratio, how about 40%."

"You..." Ren Hongde couldn't tolerate Ai Shuqiao's shameless approach, "You might as well let me give up my position as chairman to you."

"In the education sector?" Ai Shuqiao laughed to herself, "I am really interested in being the chairman of the board. I think I was also a university teacher back then. Looking back now, it feels like it was a lifetime ago..."

Yes, my father and Ai Shuqiao went to the same university, and after graduation, they both stayed at the school to teach. For a time, they were considered an enviable couple of gods. Because of this, Ai Shuqiao seduced the foreign teacher John, Then she eloped with him to the United States, which caused so much harm to my father.

"Let's do this." Ai Shuqiao asked Ren Hongde without restraining the smile on her face: "I suddenly felt that I was only a teacher and never a principal. It's really a pity... Why don't you take Dongshan City? Give me the position of principal of Qingzi Academy."

"What did you say,."

Ren Hongde frowned. Although Qingzi Academy in Dongshan City is no longer the most important asset for Qingzi Education Group, which has branches in 26 cities across the country, it is still the birthplace of the group. Ren Hongde is particularly fond of this place. Feelings, that's why I work part-time as the principal here as the chairman.

"Why, Mr. Ren, you didn't hear clearly. As expected, various organs become useless as we age. Do you want to try the anti-aging drugs developed by my research department?"

"Ms. Ai, please be more respectful, I heard you clearly." Ren Hongde said angrily, "Why do you want to be the principal of Qingzi Academy?"

Ai Shuqiao answered in a matter-of-fact manner: "Because you refused to give me 40% of the shares and let me be the chairman, so I had to settle for the next best thing and become a principal for fun."

"Being a principal is no game."

"Wrong." Ai Shuqiao relaxed on the back of her chair and crossed her fingers, "The whole life is a game."

"You are in the United States, why do you want to go back to China to be the principal?"

"It's impossible. I'll fly over there every six months at most and have a look."

"Isn't that just a nominal principal? What's the use of such a false name?"

"Who said it was a nominal principal?" Ai Shuqiao raised her eyebrows, "I will assign a confidant to help me manage the affairs of the academy, and the accounts and expenditures will be reported to me in a timely manner."

"So, what you want is a principal with real power." Ren Hongde couldn't guess what Ai Shuqiao was thinking, "Do you want to separate this Qingzi Academy in Dongshan City from my group? You want to use it as a stepping stone to get involved in China's education industry."

"No, no, no, that would be too troublesome." Ai Shuqiao said with a smile, "With Qingzi Education Group as a big tree, why don't I just enjoy the shade under it and separate and work alone? I just want to be safe for the people I will hold shares in." Qingzi Education Group, just have a more intuitive understanding.”

"Mr. Ren, although I have cooperated with you and my daughter also goes to school with you, I still want to know in more detail the earning potential of a school and whether there is room for improvement..."

"When I use Qingzi Academy in Dongshan City as a sample and understand how the academy operates, I may have more confidence in the future of the group. At that time, I may accept your share transaction, Mr. Ren."

"If you accept the deal and only Ye Lin is free, the deal will not be established." Ren Hongde reminded the other party.

"I am a businessman. Of course I will remember the other party's conditions. What I am talking about now is to give Ye Lin and Amy freedom at the same time."

"29% of the shares, plus the independent management rights of three schools." Ai Shuqiao didn't even pause for a second, and then set out her own conditions.

"I will leave you 31% of the shares. According to my information, even so you are the person with the largest shareholding on the board of directors and it will not affect your status as chairman."

"But that will make you the second shareholder." Ren Hongde said flatly.

"My main power is in the United States, and you and several other shareholders are old friends for many years." Ai Shuqiao asked Ren Hongde to notice this, "Are you still worried that I have usurped your power in the board of directors?"

Ren Hongde did not answer Ai Shuqiao's question, but asked: "To what extent will you let go of the Ye Lin brothers and sisters?"

"Just pretend these two children don't exist." Ai Shuqiao said lightly, "I don't care whether they live or die."

"How do you ensure you do this?"

"Profits are the most important interests for businessmen." Ai Shuqiao replied, "As long as I can get business benefits from you that are no less than Amy, it is not necessary for me to keep her... You know, controlling this little thing It’s quite expensive too…”

Ai Shuqiao has regarded me as something of zero value and wants to bundle it with Amy and give it away for free.

"29% is too much. I can only give you 25% of the shares at most." Ren Hongde's face was as serious as iron.

"25% is 25%, but the number of schools that I can run independently, including Qingzi Academy in Dongshan City, will be reduced to four."

"The school in Shanghai can't give it to you. Others can be discussed."

"Then... the deal is done." Ai Shuqiao reached out to Ren Hongde from the overseas video.
