At the same time, the atmosphere in the fourth grandfather’s house was somewhat strange and serious.
Fifth and seventh grandfather were also brought here, and Ruan Guosheng was sitting opposite the three grandfathers. In contrast to the three elders, he looked much more at ease.
“So, have you three uncles made your decisions? Tomorrow Ling Tianya will be discharged from the hospital. We can’t wait.”
Fifth and seventh grandfather looked over at the eldest amongst them. “Fourth brother, what do you think…”
Fourth grandfather spoke in a deep voice, “Theoretically, if Ling Tianya can’t give birth to a child, she really isn’t suitable to stay in the Ruan Family. However, this is still something that would offend them. And I see that the relationship between Ruan Zeyan and Ling Tianya is not bad. There is really no need for us three old men to offend him.”
It was true that they couldn’t afford to offend Ruan Zeyan. Every single one of them was relying on Ruan Zeyan. Although they were elders, in the end, they had to respect the hand that fed them.
Ruan Guosheng chuckled and took out three copies of a contract. “This is six percent of Yuanteng Corporation’s shares that Guofu and I are giving up. After this is done, you three uncles can get two percent each.”
As soon as they heard that, the three pair of cloudy eyes suddenly became brighter.
Needless to say, the shares of the Yuanteng Corporation were worth a lot. Even as the elders of the Ruan Family, the three of them only held about two percent each.
Now, Ruan Guosheng was giving them another two percent, which was not a small amount.
Yan Guosheng saw the look on their faces and smiled. “So, what do the three uncles think?”
Fourth grandfather thought about it and said, “You know Ruan Zeyan. Even if we are willing to come forward, Ruan Zeyan may not agree to it.”
The concern was not only that they would not get the money, but that they would piss off Ruan Zeyan in the process and ruin their reputations.
Ruan Guosheng smiled reassuringly. “Don’t worry. Ruan Zeyan is going on a business trip tonight and will not be back immediately. We can take this opportunity to negotiate with Ling Tianya alone. Are the three uncles not confident about dealing with a single woman?”
As he said that, Ruan Guosheng pushed the three share transfer agreements on the table toward them. “Uncles, you should really think about it. There won’t be another opportunity like this!”
The three men were enticed by Ruan Guosheng’s suggestion and stared at the agreements on the table.
Indeed, they were getting old, and through all of these years, their families were supported by their status as elders in the Ruan Family.
One day they would be gone, and their offsprings would be on their own. How could they fend for themselves in the Ruan Family?
Moreover, even if they could stand their ground, they wouldn’t be able to buy another two percent of the shares…
With that thought in mind, fourth grandfather’s hand first started to move toward the agreement. When he almost touched it, the agreement was taken back by Ruan Guosheng.
“What do you mean by this?” asked fourth grandfather unhappily.
“Don’t be angry, fourth uncle. Rest assured that this agreement will be yours after the thing is done!” Then he looked at the other two. “Fifth and seventh uncles, yours too.”
Fourth grandfather thought about it and finally pounded his big hand on the table. “Okay, I promise you. It is for the sake of our family’s prosperous future. I feel responsible for it.”
Fifth and seventh grandfathers saw that fourth grandfathers had agreed, so they also nodded in agreement. “That’s right! The future of the family is the most important thing. We as the elders of the family are duty-bound.”
Ruan Guosheng smiled slyly as he watched the three greedy elders pretending to be responsible and righteous.
