“Welcome, Young Master Zhou, with your investment, our YiLi Dairy will reach new heights!” Chen Li exclaimed excitedly.

Liu Yun, He Yu, and Wang Li exchanged glances, whispering quietly to each other. It was unclear what Liu Yun said, but both He Yu and Wang Li wore expressions of shock.

Suddenly, Liu Yun stood up, drawing the attention of Zhou Chao and the others.

“Young Master Zhou, I hold 6.8% of YiLi’s shares. I will transfer them to you free of charge later as a token of gratitude for your benevolence towards my unfilial son. I hope you will accept.”

With these words, the room fell into silence again. Both Chen Li and Si Cong looked at Liu Yun in shock.

Even if it was only 8.6% of the shares, it was worth 20 billion. This wasn’t a matter of a couple hundred dollars—it was a whole 200 billion just to apologize!

If this got out, it would surely cause a sensation nationwide, even worldwide!

Zhou Chao, however, remained unusually calm, leisurely refilling his teacup.

After taking a sip, he spoke slowly, “There’s no need for free transfers. If word gets out, people might think I’m bullying others or seizing assets forcefully. That won’t do.”

No one showed any unusual expressions upon hearing this, but they all cursed Zhou Chao inwardly for being hypocritical.

Even Si Cong was momentarily stunned, but he understood Zhou Chao’s principles. He knew that what Zhou Chao said came from the heart.

Liu Yun looked self-reproachful. “Young Master Zhou, I was too shallow. About these shares…”

“Purchase them at market price. Whatever the value, I, Zhou Chao, won’t be short of a couple hundred billion. If you agree, I’ll have someone contact you!”

Zhou Chao’s approach left even Chen Li confused. He couldn’t understand why Zhou Chao had gone to so much trouble just to buy the shares at market price.

“Young Master Zhou, isn’t this too much? How about a fifty percent discount?” Liu Yun couldn’t tell if Zhou Chao was sincere or just pretending, so he asked tentatively.

Zhou Chao waved his hand. “Do as I said!”

Seeing Zhou Chao’s resolute attitude, Liu Yun knew he was serious. He and He Yu and Wang Li looked at each other, then gritted their teeth and stood up.

“Young Master Zhou, we also hold a considerable amount of shares. If you don’t mind, you can buy them too!”

“Haha, why would I mind? Buy them all at market price. Lin Wu, go get three sets of share transfer agreements to prevent Mr. Liu and the others from thinking I’m tricking them!”

“Sure thing, boss!” Lin Wu replied and left the tearoom.

“After today, Mr. Li, we’re on the same team. The future development of YiLi Dairy will depend on you. Today, I offer a toast to you with tea instead of wine,” Zhou Chao said, raising the tea cup on the table.

Seeing the matter settled and Zhou Chao showing no intention of acquiring more shares, Chen Li finally felt relieved.

“Nonsense, we’ll rely on Young Master Zhou more in the future. Let’s strive to make the YiLi brand go international and conquer the world!” Chen Li also raised his tea cup with a smile.

Zhou Chao glanced at Liu Yun and the others. They quickly raised their cups. “For YiLi!”

“For YiLi!”

The atmosphere in the room became unusually pleasant. Everyone chatted happily, occasionally bursting into laughter.

Si Cong was also a bit puzzled. One moment there was a sense of impending doom, and the next moment there was laughter all around. Indeed, as the old saying goes, among businessmen, there are only eternal interests, not eternal friends.

Shaking his head lightly, he pushed aside these thoughts and joined in the conversation with the others.

“Understood, I’ll report to the boss later!” Hanging up the phone, Lin Wu glanced at the three agreements in his hand, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.

But soon, Lin Wu resumed his calm demeanor and picked up the three agreements, heading towards the tearoom.

“Boss, here are the share transfer agreements. Please review them!”

As soon as he entered the tearoom, Lin Wu walked up to Zhou Chao and handed him the contracts. He murmured a few words beside him, although others saw it, they didn’t catch what he said.

All they knew was that after Lin Wu finished speaking, Zhou Chao’s lips curled up slightly, indicating some good news.

After a quick perusal, Zhou Chao handed the contracts to Liu Yun and the others. “Mr. Liu, please take a look at these share transfer agreements. If everything looks fine, you can sign them!”

Liu Yun and the others didn’t dare to delay. They stood up and carefully read through the agreements. There wasn’t much content—just a promise to sell their entire YiLi shares at market price.

Soon, Liu Yun and the others finished reading the agreements. Without hesitation, they signed their names and stamped their personal seals.

Seeing the three of them finish signing, Zhou Chao’s smile widened.

He collected the three agreements and handed them to Lin Wu. With a smile, he said to everyone, “Today is a double happiness. Lin Wu, arrange something at the hotel. Let’s celebrate together tonight!”

“Double happiness? I wonder what the other good news is. Would Young Master Zhou be willing to share?” Chen Li was also curious about what the other good news might be.
