Oh my god! The goddess secretly gave birth to three obedient daughters for me

Chapter 740: Chapter 740: No Need to Beat Around the Bush Chapter 740: Chapter 740: No Need to Beat Around the Bush The man lifted his head, his gaze indifferent as he looked at him, and spoke in an even tone, “Who are you?”

“Oh, you don’t recognize me? I’m Lin Yi!” After Lin Yi finished speaking, he looked at Lu Muqing and said, “You should have heard of my name, right?”

“Lin Yi?” The man murmured, searching his mind for the name Lin Yi.

“Correct, it is I!” Lin Yi declared.

The man looked at Lin Yi, silent for a moment, before saying, “What do you want from me?”

“I’d like to make friends with Young Master Lu,” Lin Yi said with a grin.

Upon hearing this, Lu Muqing’s eyes showed a hint of disgust as he said impatiently, “Mr. Lin, if you have something to say, just say it directly. There’s no need to beat around the bush.”

“Young Master Lu, are you in such a hurry to send me away?” Lin Yi asked with a smile.

The man said nothing more and instead picked up a glass of red wine from the table and began to drink.

His movement was very elegant, like a king, giving off an aura that made others feel the impulse to kneel and worship.

Lin Yi looked at the young man before him and inwardly sighed; it was no wonder Lu Muqing had the support of the Lu Family—he was indeed excellent, full of vigor, and truly capable.

Watching Lu Muqing leisurely savoring the red wine, a strong sense of competition rose within Lin Yi.

“I want to cooperate with Young Master Lu on big ventures!” Lin Yi said with a smile.

“Cooperate?” Lu Muqing glanced at him, “What makes you think I would agree to cooperate with you?”

“On the basis that I share the same status as Young Master Lu,” Lin Yi said arrogantly.

Lu Muqing, hearing this, curled his lips into a mocking smile and said, “You think you share the same status as me?”

Lin Yi, feeling his temper flare upon hearing Lu Muqing’s arrogant and presumptuous words.

This man, dare to scorn him, did he think he didn’t exist?

“Lin Yi, although I do not know who you are, I want to tell you that it doesn’t matter who I am,” Lu Muqing said.

“Oh?” Lin Yi, feeling even more displeased, thought, what does he mean by this? Could it be that he looks down on Lin Yi?

Lin Yi asked, “So, Young Master Lu, what are your conditions for cooperating with me?”

“To cooperate with you would naturally be mutually beneficial. I want to know what Mr. Lin wants to do, and you should also have guessed what I want to do,” Lu Muqing stated indifferently.

Lin Yi’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing Lu Muqing’s words; it seemed this man was not so foolish after all.

Lin Yi thought for a moment, then said with a smile, “Well, Young Master Lu, if we cooperate and develop the Lin Family’s influence together, I believe, in the future, the Lin Family’s enterprises could belong to both of our families!”

Hearing Lin Yi’s words, Lu Muqing snorted coldly, “Why should I cooperate with you? Who do you think you are to want to control the entire Lin Family’s enterprises?”

Lin Yi said, “Young Master Lu, that’s not right. Although I’m not from the Lin Family, I can still help the Lu Family develop the Lin Family’s enterprises.”

Lu Muqing chuckled disdainfully, “Heh, Mr. Lin, you’re not even qualified to talk about cooperation with me. You’re just a jumping jack. What makes you think you can cooperate with me?”

“Whether I’m qualified to cooperate with you, Young Master Lu, I believe I am!” Lin Yi said.

“Are you sure?” Lu Muqing asked in return.

Lin Yi confidently replied, “Of course! I think that with my reputation in the business world and the Lu Family’s influence in the political arena, I should be qualified to cooperate with Young Master Lu, right?”

Lu Muqing couldn’t help but laugh when he heard these words.

Smiling, he said, “Lin Yi, I think you may have misunderstood my intentions. I would naturally have no doubts about your reputation, but what qualifications do you have to work with me? Do you think I would cooperate with a nobody without any ability?”

“Mr. Lu, although you are the young master of the Lu Family, I feel that the Lu Family’s overseas enterprises aren’t strong enough for you to handle alone. I think it’s better for you to cooperate with me; I can greatly enhance your strength,” Lin Yi confidently stated.

Hearing this, Lu Muqing couldn’t help but let out a sneer, “You truly are arrogant. However, I don’t like working with people who overestimate their capabilities.”

“Mr. Lu, I disagree with what you’re saying. If I’m seeking to work with you, it’s certainly because I have something to rely on. And that something is the twenty-five percent of Lin Corporation’s shares that I hold in my hands!” Lin Yi declared.

The condition Lin Yi put forward indeed caught Lu Muqing’s interest.

The purpose of Lin Yi proposing this condition was actually to regain those twenty-five percent shares, which he had bought back with several billion US dollars. If he could get the shares back into his own hands, nothing could be better.

This was also why he had come to the Lu Family—for the relationship between the Lin and Lu families was one that spanned generations.

The Lu Family was a huge financial consortium with family assets exceeding ten billion; in Yanjing, they were a colossal entity, a vassal of the Lin Family.

Now holding twenty percent of Lin Corporation’s shares, it was tantamount to having thirty percent of the shares under his control; this would be incredibly beneficial for him in the future when managing the entire Lin Corporation.

Lu Muqing’s eyes narrowed as he looked at the other party, “Lin Yi, do you think I would cooperate with you?”

“What? You’re unwilling?” Lin Yi said with a smile.

“Of course, I’m unwilling,” Lu Muqing replied. “However, my purpose in coming to Yanjing was to buy the stocks you have. If you’re willing to sell the shares to me, maybe I’ll consider the proposal you just made.”

Lin Yi raised his eyebrows and said, “Mr. Lu, what benefit is there for you in doing this?”

“I don’t lack money,” Lu Muqing responded. “I need a partner.”

After contemplating for a moment, Lin Yi said, “Since that’s the case, let’s each take what we need.”

“Good, that would be best,” Lu Muqing replied.

“So, when do we start our collaboration?” inquired Lin Yi.

“Tonight, at my villa. You can come to see me whenever you like,” Lu Muqing said. “I think, on my own turf, dealing with you won’t be a difficult task.”

Lin Yi felt a tinge of fear in his heart upon hearing Lu Muqing’s words.

He was aware of Lu Muqing’s capabilities.

Lin Yi didn’t immediately reply but pondered for a while.

After a short time, he looked up and said, “Mr. Lu, in that case, I’ll await your call in Yanjing.”

“I hope, Mr. Lin, that you won’t disappoint me!” Lu Muqing said, his lips curling into a smile as he looked at him.

“You won’t be disappointed, I assure you that I won’t let you down, Mr. Lu,” Lin Yi responded.

“Hmm, then let’s leave it at that, Mr. Lin. I have other matters to attend to and must take my leave now. Until next time!” Lu Muqing stood up and walked toward the door, “Oh right, I forgot to tell you, my name is Lu Muqing. In the future, don’t call me ‘Mr. Lu’; just use my name.”

“Understood, I’ll remember that,” Lin Yi quickly replied.

Lin Yi stood up from the sofa and watched as Lu Muqing walked away, a ray of darkness flashing through his eyes.

Lu Muqing, I will make sure you realize that missing out on me is a decision you’ll regret for the rest of your life.

A malicious expression appeared on Lin Yi’s face.
