Chapter 524: Our Bond Is Like Father and Son

Tan Family Pharmaceutical Company was once worthless.

But from now on, this company will undoubtedly grow at a visible, rapid pace.

Although there are AIDS prevention drugs, the Tan Family Pharmaceutical Company has developed a special drug that specifically cures AIDS.

Just imagine how this news will drive people crazy once it gets out.

“But, Young Master Xu…” Tan Ling’s expression changed; she felt Xu Shaochen was going overboard.

The future of the pharmaceutical company is clear, and Xu Shaochen asked for 50% of the shares right away. It’s like cutting flesh from them.

However, before she could finish, Xu Shaochen raised his hand and interrupted her: “Miss Tan, you might think my demand is too much, but I find it rather generous.”

“Right now, only the Lan Family knows about this, and it’s already putting so much pressure on your Tan Family that you can’t breathe. What do you think will happen if this news spreads?”

“Not sure? It’s fine, I’ll tell you. Your Tan Family will be kicked out, and several big shots will sit at the table and divide this cake among themselves.”

“Your Tan Family is like a three-year-old child holding gold while walking through a crowded street. You can’t protect this wealth; being weak is the original sin.”

Here, Xu Shaochen paused, giving Tan Ling a moment to think before he continued: “But I’m different. If you agree to my demands, your Tan Family can still keep at least 50% of the profits. It’s better than making wedding clothes for others, don’t you think?”

Tan Ling gave a bitter smile as she looked at Xu Shaochen: “If our Tan Family disagrees, you’ll probably become one of those people eating us up, right?”

Liu Chao looked at his girlfriend’s distressed appearance and felt a pang of sympathy. He wanted to say something several times but couldn’t bring himself to speak.

Because even he could imagine the enormous benefits involved. Xu Shaochen was his friend, not his father, so he wouldn’t give up that juicy piece of meat just because he asked.

“No, no, no, Miss Tan, you might have misunderstood me.” Xu Shaochen crossed his legs and shook his head, his gaze gradually becoming sharp: “I’m not in the habit of sharing things with so many people, you understand?”

Xu Shaochen made no attempt to hide his greed.

In short, agree, and I’ll solve the Lan Family problem for you, and you can keep 50% of the shares.

Don’t agree, and I’ll just cut up the cake myself.

Tan Ling took a deep breath: “I need to discuss this with my father; this is too big for me to decide on my own.”

“I hope Miss Tan can make a decision soon. After all, I can afford to wait, but the Lan Family may not be able to.”

“Also, you must keep a close eye on the researchers in your pharmaceutical company’s lab. This information cannot be leaked, or it will be much harder for me to handle the situation.”

“If things become more complicated, then 50% of the shares won’t satisfy my appetite.”

Xu Shaochen didn’t expect Tan Ling to agree right away; he just wanted her to pass the message to her father. The Tan Family wasn’t something a woman could control.

“I’ll give you a reply as soon as possible. The lab has always been under our control.”

Tan Ling nodded. Though she was unwilling, agreeing to Xu Shaochen’s terms was the best outcome right now.

If they didn’t agree, their Tan Family would likely not even keep 50% of the shares.

Xu Shaochen nodded and stood up: “Let’s go, the serious talk is over. Let’s go and have some fun.”

After finishing his words, he was the first to walk out of the room.

Mei Liangxin followed closely behind, while Liu Chao and Tan Ling walked at the back.

“Lingling, I’m sorry I couldn’t help.” Liu Chao lowered his voice and spoke with guilt.

Tan Ling shook her head and smiled gently: “If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t even have had the chance to meet with him.”

Liu Chao was stunned. Even though he was in a relationship with Tan Ling, she had always been dominant, likely influenced by her family. She had never been this gentle in front of him.

After thinking about it, it must have been because of Xu Shaochen.

Liu Chao found it somewhat ironic. Even in his own relationship, his girlfriend’s attitude towards him depended on Xu Shaochen.

Of course, this didn’t mean he blamed Tan Ling; after all, there were still feelings between them. It was just a bit uncomfortable.

“Come on, what are you thinking about?”

Tan Ling didn’t notice Liu Chao’s odd behavior; she hooked her arm through his and hurried to catch up.

“Hello, Young Master Xu.”

“Hello, Mr. Xu.”

Seeing Xu Shaochen, many people spontaneously greeted him. After all, the events in the second-floor casino had already spread.

Xu Shaochen responded to each of them. After all, these people were prominent figures, not just his company’s employees.

Since they were showing him respect, he had to reciprocate.

“Mr. Xu, here’s the money you just won. It’s all on this card; the password is the last six digits of the card number.”

A tall woman with a fragrant scent approached Xu Shaochen, offering him a bank card with both hands.

“Where is your Young Master?”

Xu Shaochen tucked away the bank card, pulled out some cash, and slipped it into the woman’s cleavage. Hmm… very soft.

“Thank you, Mr. Xu.” The woman’s eyes lit up as she took the money, then respectfully said, “Our Young Master is on the deck.”

“Mr. Xu, if you don’t have any other instructions, I’ll take my leave.”

With that, the woman gave Xu Shaochen a sweet smile before walking away with a swaying waist.

“You guys can go have some fun. No need to follow me. These opportunities don’t come around every time.”

Xu Shaochen looked back at Mei Liangxin and the others as he spoke.

“Alright. I need to find a new love to heal my broken heart.”

Mei Liangxin sighed as he scanned the area, searching for a potential catch.

“Go for it. We’re like father and son; I’ll definitely support you.” Xu Shaochen patted Mei Liangxin on the shoulder like a doting father.

“Get lost.” Mei Liangxin cursed.

“Let’s head to the entertainment room.”

Liu Chao and Tan Ling also left.

After sending the three of them off, Xu Shaochen turned and walked toward the deck, preparing to meet with the young master Ma Di.

As he reached the deck, a cool seabreeze with a faint salty taste hit his face.

Only Ma Di was on the deck, holding a fishing rod and fishing.

“What’s the difference between fishing during the day and at night?”

Xu Shaochen walked over and stood next to Ma Di.

Ma Di shook his head: “No difference, I can’t catch anything either way.”

“Then you just have bad luck,” Xu Shaochen remarked.

“Swoosh.”

Ma Di lifted the rod, and a fish Xu Shaochen couldn’t name wriggled on the hook.

Ma Di smiled, “Looks like my luck has arrived.”
