Chapter 363 Crushed Pride!Right then, Ouyang Qing did show any of the arrogance she had before. Her eyes were gleaming, looking at Ye Lingchen with mixed feelings.She took a deep breath. “I know that I’ve treated you horribly before this. This time I’m here hoping that you’d give Wanrong Automobile Group another chance. I—”

“If you’re here to ask for my help, then save it.” Ye Lingchen waved his hand, annoyed. “The only reason why I’ve not kicked you out is because you’re Xu Nan and Xu Wanqing’s cousin. If there’s nothing else, then please leave.”

“Ye Lingchen, I know that I’ve been wrong all these while. I’m here to offer my sincerest apology!” Ouyang Qing took a deep bow at Ye Lingchen. “Our Wanrong Automobile Group is considered a famous brand throughout China. Right now, the automotive industry in China is growing quickly. Our country’s cars are always falling behind first world countries. If our company goes under, then China’s automotive industry wouldn’t survive!”

“Hehe, I’m not the person to talk to for this matter. How the automotive industry does is none of my concerns.” Ye Lingchen shook his head uncaringly.

“Mr. Ye Lingchen, I don’t have to tell you the prospects of the autonomous vehicle. You’re highly skilled and can definitely make it to the top of the automotive industry. I acted harshly previously due to my ignorance. If you’re willing to help our company, we can give you 25 percent of our company’s shares,” Ouyang Qing begged. “This way you can lead China’s automotive technology to the forefront and gain fame for yourself while helping our company!”

It was no wonder Ouyang Qing could be such a superwoman. She was highly intelligent and good at negotiating, and she knew how to convince him with virtues and benefits.

“Hehe, 25 percent of shares? I’d like to know, with Wanrong Automobile Group’s current predicament, how much is 25 percent of your shares worth?” Ye Lingchen gave Ouyang Qing a mocking smile.

Ouyang Qing’s lips trembled and was unable to answer.

Even if Wanrong Group managed to survive this ordeal, its status would drop like a rock. 25 percent of its shares would be nowhere near the worth of Ye Lingchen’s villa.

“Moreover, if I provided the autonomous vehicle technology, which automotive company would reject it? Why do I have to work with your Wanrong Group?”

Ye Lingchen’s words caused Ouyang Qing’s face to turn pale, her body trembling. That was her biggest weakness.

“Mr. Ye Lingchen, I beg of you to save Wanrong Group. You’re Xu Nan’s master. Her father put in too much of his life into this company along with my father. They can’t afford to lose Wanrong Group. This company mustn’t fall!” Ouyang Qing bit her lips. “If you’re willing to save Wanrong Group, I’ll do anything you ask!”

“You’ll do anything?” Ye Lingchen’s eyes glowed with mischief. His eyes scanned all over Ouyang Qing’s body without a care.

Ouyang Qing’s appearance and figure were definitely the cream of the crop, matching her quality of a strong woman. She could easily trigger the urge for others to dominate her. Given her previous attitude toward Ye Lingchen, it was impossible for him to not harbor any resentment.

He really wanted to crush her arrogance.

“Mr. Ye Lingchen, as long as you save Wanrong, I’ll do whatever you say!” Ouyang Qing had a determined look in her eyes. “In the future, I’ll be your personal item. I can even sign a contract to sell myself to you!”

Ye Lingchen’s gaze showed signs of discomfort, yet he was unwilling to back down in front of her. The corner of his lips maintained the smile, then mockingly checked Ouyang Qing out.

“I’ve not been in love before. You don’t have to worry about that.” Ouyang Qing lowered her head, avoiding Ye Lingchen’s eyes. Tears were flowing down her cheeks as she spoke.

She covered her body uncomfortably with her hands as her body shook.

Ye Lingchen kept quiet for a full five minutes, further elevating Ouyang Qing’s discomfort before finally shifting his gaze away.

“I didn’t promise to help. That was just to vent my frustrations.”

“You!” Ouyang Qing’s face turned red in an instant, feeling humiliated.

“However, since you’re sincere, we can talk about it.” Ye Lingchen changed his tone, then continued, “I want 51 percent of Wanrong Group’s shares!”

“What?!”

Ouyang Qing was shocked. She immediately shook her head. “That’s impossible!”

51 percent of the company’s shares meant that Ye Lingchen would be the biggest shareholder, giving him the biggest influence. That was equivalent to turning Wanrong Group into Ye Lingchen’s company.

“If that’s impossible then we won’t come to a deal. Director Ouyang, please go home!” Ye Lingchen was about to retire to his room.

“Mr. Ye Lingchen, please wait,” Ouyang Qing quickly interjected. “Please listen to my explanation. Our company is a joint venture. There are many shareholders. Even with Chairman Xu and my father’s portion added together, that would only be 51 percent of the shares!”

“There’s no point negotiating then.” Ye Lingchen did not slow but continued to walk upstairs.

“I can have Chairman Xu and my father to hand over 30 percent of their shares! However, I can help you purchase the remainder from other shareholders!” Ouyang Qing chased after him, speaking quickly, “Right now, our company is going through some rough times. A lot of shareholders are ready to sell their shares. I can help you get them!”

Ye Lingchen stopped in his tracks as he thought about it.

“That means you want me to spend my money to purchase them?” Ye Lingchen smiled. “That’s not a big deal. How much is one percent of your shares worth?”

Seeing that Ye Lingchen was not outrightly rejecting it, Ouyang Qing let out a sigh of relief. “These people are the founding members of the company. When the company was founded, the investments weren’t that much. One percent of the shares is not even worth one million. Although it has risen quite a bit over the years, I’m confident that I can keep the price of one percent share within 1.5 million!”
