After sitting down on the sofa in the private room, the Shuang Qiao sisters pressed Luo Yang on how he would help them repay their debts.
Ever since the company's management had encountered issues, they had been unable to eat or sleep well.
Making matters worse, they had borrowed money at high interest rates and were chased by creditors every day, which left them constantly anxious.
If not for Luo Yang's encouragement, they didn't even want to live anymore.
Initially, the Shuang Qiao sisters wanted to get involved in the beauty stream's business, but they figured Luo Yang would not agree to share any shares with them.
Now with the hangover remedy business, they hoped to gain some benefits from it.
Qiao Zai Shui, her long legs propped up on the coffee table and leaning back on the sofa, half-drunk, half-sober, said, "Niu Zai, my sister reminded you about the hangover remedy business. We reward effort if not success. Give us forty percent of the shares, and we'll manage the company for you."
Forty percent of the shares?
Luo Yang laughed, and Qiao Zai Shui threw a purple cushion from the sofa at him.
Catching it, Luo Yang said with a smile, "Little Sister Qiao, don't be so greedy. Forty percent is a bit much. Let's not talk about this matter for now. Let me think about it first."
Much can happen during a long night.
The Shuang Qiao sisters wanted Luo Yang to agree to their demands before he had a clear idea, giving them a reason to challenge him if he tried to back out later.
"Niu Zai, think about it. We're not taking a salary, and we're helping you manage the company. Giving us forty percent still leaves you with sixty," analyzed Qiao You Si logically.
She didn't consider that others might also ask Luo Yang for shares.
Luo Yang said with a smile, "Let's not discuss it now. We'll talk about it in a few days. After I've thought it over, I'll come to you to discuss, okay?"
The sisters did not accept this idea.
Giving them ten percent of the shares might be acceptable.
From their expressions, they would not settle for anything less than thirty percent.
"Niu Zai, what's there to think about? Agree tonight, start producing hangover remedies tomorrow, and by the day after tomorrow, you'll be a rich man," Qiao Zai Shui said with a smile.
She made it sound simpler than eating a meal.
For the Shennong Scripture, it was as simple as scooping out Pond Water.
But to avoid drawing attention, a production line would still have to be built.
That could also help the villagers become prosperous together.
Luo Yang said with a smile, "Little Sister Qiao, I will rely on you to become rich. Right, I need to find Sister An and see why she is looking for me."
Just as he got up to leave, Qiao Zai Shui grabbed his clothes and wouldn't let him go.
"Little Sister Qiao, Sister An might really have something important for me," Luo Yang said with a wry smile.
"Stop using that as an excuse. Niu Zai, you're a man of your word. Be decisive. Give us forty percent of the shares," Qiao Zai Shui said with a smile.
He truly couldn't satisfy their request.
Luo Yang said, "You might not know, but Sister Guihua wants half the shares."
Hearing Tang Guihua also wanted shares, Qiao You Si worriedly said, "Did you tell her how many shares you'd give us?"
In business terms, Tang Guihua had a knack for doing business.
The Shuang Qiao sisters were quite familiar with Luo Yang but only had a general relationship with Tang Guihua.
In other words, if Tang Guihua persuaded Luo Yang not to give them shares, then the deal would be off.
Seeing the concerns of the sisters, Luo Yang said with a smile, "I haven't spoken to Sister Guihua yet. Don't worry. I will definitely give you shares. I'll go and see Sister An now. Let's talk later."
The Qiao Family Sisters needed to discuss the current situation privately, so they let Luo Yang go.
Once out of the private room, he finally took a long sigh of relief.
Otherwise, being nagged by the Shuang Qiao sisters for shares would have been quite annoying.
Earlier, An Yuying had come looking for Luo Yang, and he didn't respond.
Now going to see her, he needed to think of an excuse to explain.
After all, being nearby, it was impossible he hadn't heard her calling.
Entering the private room where An Yuying was, sure enough, she asked him where he had been.
Luo Yang said with a smile, "I was just on a call. A friend had some urgent matter, and I heard you calling me."
An Yuying usually trusted Luo Yang's words, so she didn't suspect much.
