Li Wan’s tone became resolute as she said, “Firstly, I have to remain as the head of the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce. Secondly, I would like to ask for your help in retrieving the rest of the shares. Once all the shares are retrieved. I will give you another 9% of the shares.”

Su Yiren did not agree immediately. Instead, she looked at Lin Yuan.

It was not that Su Yiren was unable to come to a decision but because this matter involved the Li family’s internal conflict. Su Yiren needed to seek Lin Yuan’s opinion before they got themselves tangled in this mess.

Lin Yuan gave Su Yiren a smile of assurance, and Su Yiren knew that he wanted her to decide for herself.

When she saw Lin Yuan’s smile, she felt something akin to love grab hold of her, and she suddenly felt slightly dizzy.

She had not carefully observed Lin Yuan yet. But when she looked at him now, she realized Lin Yuan was just as attractive as her. In fact, he even had better bone structure than her.

What the hell? I even contracted the Absolute Love Poppy! How can he look better than me? Is he some demon from the abyssal world?

“I agree to your terms. Before the matter is done, our Young Master will own 40% of Prosperous Chamber of Commerce’s shares while you will keep control of Prosperous Chamber of Commerce. After the matter is done, he will possess 49% of the shares. The three federations in the Startling Lines Continent are always fighting amongst themselves, and robber groups are rampant. Many unorthodox paths arise in a chaotic world. You have chosen the right path. Frankly, I’m jealous of your luck,” said Su Yiren.

Su Yiren’s last line had come from the heart. If she had hesitated and missed the opportunity to join the Astronomical Parliament, she might not have been given a second chance to do so.

Li Wan did not know why Su Yiren had said she was lucky, but she could tell that Su Yiren did not think of the Divine Wood Federation, Great Lush Federation, and Iron Hammer Federation as strong.

Su Yiren sounded so confident that Li Wan felt she was looking at a giant beast that could easily crush the Divine Wood Federation, Great Lush Federation, and Iron Hammer Federation with its feet.

Suddenly, the fight between Lin Yuan and the Lu family came to Li Wan’s mind, and she said with a worried tone, “The Lu family, who supports the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce, is much stronger than my family. If the Lu family discovers that we are working with you, they will definitely attack us out of revenge. Our experts won’t be able to hold them off. What do you think we should do?”

Li Wan knew that Lin Yuan had experts.

If this fight was centralized at one location, Li Wan would not be afraid of the Lu family coming to seek revenge.

However, there were 47 branches scattered in the Divine Wood Federation and Iron Hammer Federation. The fight would be too spread out. The Prosperous Chamber of Commerce would not be able to handle the loss if the Lu family went after any of the branches.

Since she had chosen to work with Lin Yuan, she would be honest with Lin Yuan and seek his help in matters that she could not fix on her own.

Su Yiren did not speak when she heard Li Wan’s concerns because she was unaware of what had happened between Lin Yuan and the Lu family.

As a strategist, she would never make a decision impulsively without having all the information, even if she was certain that there was no faction from the Startling Lines Continent that would be able to defeat Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan said to the visibly worried Li Wan, “Only you and Elder Duan know that the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce is working with me. How will anyone else find out?”

Li Wan’s eyes lit up.

Li Wan assumed that Lin Yuan would definitely mark the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce with his own brand when he decided to support the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce.

However, he did not do so. Instead, he chose to support the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce silently from the shadows while she led the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce in front of the public eye.

This way, the Li family would seemingly be able to gain all the glory. This was something that the lower-ranked aristocratic Li family would dream of.

Lin Yuan’s words laid all of Li Wan’s concerns to rest.

As long as the Li family was able to attain all the glory and climb the ranks in the Great Lush Federation, Li Wan did not care about material things.

After making her requests, Li Wan wanted to chat with Lin Yuan about how the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce should go about using and trading the resources he was going to give them.

Since their deal involved such a large exchange of resources, they had to discuss how the benefits were going to be split.

Lin Yuan currently possessed 40% of the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce’s shares and was going to possess 49% in the future. This meant that he should receive almost half of the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce’s profits.

If Lin Yuan was only going to invest a small number of resources into the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce, the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce would be at a disadvantage. But if he invested too many resources into the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce, they would be taking advantage of him. No matter which of these two situations ended up taking place, it would affect the stability of their collaboration.

Thus, the best thing to do was to buy the resources he invested in them at a set price. This would be the equivalent of the partial owner of Prosperous Chamber of Commerce, who owned 40% or 49% of the shares, buying resources from Lin Yuan, the investor.

If the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce wanted to benefit from such a situation, they needed to ensure that Lin Yuan invested many resources.

Li Wan chose such a method of trading so that she would be able to gauge how much Lin Yuan was willing to invest in the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce in the future.

Lin Yuan looked at Li Wan with satisfaction. Since she was so detailed, he was not going to be miserly.

Su Yiren listened to Li Wan while keeping her eyes fixed on Lin Yuan’s expression.

She knew that Li Wan had followed up her right decision with another outstanding decision. The Prosperous Chamber of Commerce was fated to transform from a lowly ant into a majestic dragon in the future.

“As of now, I’m still unsure of what type of resource the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce should focus on. President Li, why don’t you suggest some to me?” said Lin Yuan.

Li Wan looked delighted as this meant that Lin Yuan was ready to invest resources into the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce.

Currently, the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce mainly traded in animal skins, rare plants, fruits, alcohol, metal ores, and some good-quality feys. They had always stayed on the safe path.

Due to the Li family’s lack of Creation Master resources, they had very few good-quality feys, and the few that they had were used to retain old customers.
