Hearing the words "Mr. Lin."
The guests present all had strange looks in their eyes.
As for Lin Jianjun, he was so angry he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
"What is the second matter? Speak quickly!!!"
"It's about what I said last time, transferring 30% of the shares, 3 billion, to you. How are you prepared?"
"You... you, are you really going to sell the shares to me?!"
"Really! No fraud, young or old!" Lin Xuan decisively nodded.
Upon hearing this.
Lin Jianjun's face turned red with anger, and his fists clenched so tightly that they creaked.
He had intended to harshly scold this unfilial son but remembered that he had already signed the "severance agreement."
"You... I don't have that much money at the moment, can we negotiate the price?"
"No!"
"You bastard! Are you really going to be that heartless? What do you need all that money for? 3 billion!"
"I'm preparing the dowry!"
Lin Xuan said firmly, without his face flushing or his heart skipping a beat.
Seeing the expressions of the crowd, as if they had seen a ghost, Lin Xuan seriously explained:
"In a little while, I'll be marrying into the Su family. This 3 billion is my dowry for them, is there a problem?"
Is there a problem?!
What do you think!!!
3 billion, not 30 dollars!
Throughout history, a 3 billion dowry has never been heard of!!!
What kind of precious woman would be worthy of such a value?!
But Lin Xuan seemed not to notice the astonished gazes around him, he smiled faintly, his eyes filled with deep affection.
"I don't care about money. I just want to silently wait for the day Qingge opens her eyes. I'll hold her hand and grow old with her."
"But now the Su family is in trouble, and they need this dowry at this time...."
"I don't want my wife to wake up and find that her family is gone. What will we do then, when she's sad?"
"......."
What will we do? Let it be!
Hearing this absurd yet seemingly reasonable statement.
The reactions from the crowd were all different.
Lin Jianjun, Lin Hao, Bai Hai, and most of the other men stared at Lin Xuan as if he were an idiot.
They completely couldn't understand.
Why Lin Xuan would spend a whole 3 billion on the dowry for a woman who's a vegetable.
Isn't this just pure foolishness?!
Meanwhile, White Susu and most of the other women felt deeply moved, all of them shaken by Lin Xuan's sincere affection.
This man is too good, right?!
If the roles were reversed...
If I were like Su Qingge, a vegetable, lying in bed unable to move.
The partner at home wouldn't even think about staying faithful.
If he could even last a month without straying, that would be a blessing.
Compared to most men of this era.
Lin Xuan was rarer than a giant panda in a zoo.
He was the most perfect, deeply devoted prince in the hearts of countless girls?!
At this moment.
Many women looked at Lin Xuan with eyes full of admiration.
While their gaze toward their companions was filled with contempt and disappointment.
Sigh~~
People are so different, it's maddening.
Comparing goods, some are just to be thrown away.
Noticing the different reactions from the crowd.
Lin Xuan couldn't help but give himself a mental thumbs up.
His heartfelt confession would surely make Su Yang, the protagonist, shower him with "affection" in the future, right?
Lin Xuan smiled and turned to face the various powerful figures in the room, each with different expressions.
"Since Mr. Lin can't come up with the money to buy my shares, I've decided to sell them to a more capable buyer."
"To everyone here! Anyone interested in Lin Group shares, feel free to contact me. The highest bidder wins!"
(òωó?)?!
Is this for real? Young Master Lin actually plans to sell the shares to outsiders!
If a competitor outside the Lin family really buys them...
With this 30% shareholding.
Lin Group might truly face a change in leadership.
"Lin Xuan! You bastard!!!"
Lin Jianjun could no longer sit still and roared uncontrollably.
If Lin Xuan really lets the wolves in.
Then, as chairman, he would lose his position in minutes.
The company that originally belonged to the Lin family would be completely taken over by someone else.
No!
I will not allow it!!!
I absolutely cannot let this happen!!!
It wasn't just Lin Jianjun who couldn't accept it.
Even Lin Hao and his mother, standing next to him, didn't want to see this happen.
After all, the Lin Group had long been considered their own possession.
How could they accept someone showing up out of nowhere and disrupting everything?!
"Xuan, as the saying goes, good water should not flow into outsiders' fields!"
"This is an internal issue of the Lin family; we can solve it ourselves, there's no need to involve others..."
"Besides, this is the business your mother worked hard to build. If you sell it to someone else, how can you face your late mother?"
Bai Yuelan, with tears in her eyes, continued to persuade him earnestly.
Looking at the red handprint on her face, Lin Xuan found it utterly ironic.
"Selling it to someone else means I'm betraying my mother?"
"Does passing it on to the son of a mistress make it right by my mother?"
Hearing this, Bai Yuelan's face froze, and she didn't know how to respond.
"Alright! Mr. Lin, if you don't want the shares to fall into the hands of others, I suggest you quickly gather the money!"
At this point, Lin Xuan had no intention of wasting any more time.
He left one final statement.
He waved his hand and walked out toward the door, leaving the rich and powerful figures staring at each other in silence.
Seeing Lin Jianjun's face turning ashen with anger.
The guests understood that the birthday party couldn't continue, and one by one, they left respectfully.
"Chairman Lin! Something urgent has come up at home, I'll leave now!"
"Mr. Lin, I wish you a fortune as vast as the Eastern Sea and a life as long as the Southern Mountain! But my wife just called, so I must take my leave."
"Sorry, Mr. Lin, I'm feeling unwell, so I must excuse myself."
"I'll take him to the hospital! Goodbye!"
"........"
Soon.
The once lively banquet hall was soon left with only the three members of the Lin family.
As the wealthy guests left.
Everything that happened tonight at the Lin family spread rapidly, like wildfire...
"Big news, major news! That young man from the Lin family went crazy tonight!!!"
"What the hell! Lin Xuan's gone mad! Using 3 billion as a dowry to marry into the Su family?"
"I really envy Su Qingge, who was once the most beautiful CEO in Magic City. Now she's a vegetable, and still, a man is willing to sacrifice so much for her."
"30% of Lin Group's shares! If I get them, I'll be on top, no one, not even Lin Jianjun, can challenge me."
"Please! Can you even come up with 3 billion? And it's highest bidder wins, maybe the final price will be more than 3 billion..."
"Lin Jianjun's old fool, he must be dumbfounded now! Who told him to be so obsessed with his illegitimate son, it's outrageous!"
"He's so deeply devoted! A man willing to break ties with his family for his lover. This is even more moving than in movies! From today on, I'll call Lin Xuan the most devoted man in Magic City!"
"......"
In an instant.
Lin Xuan's name caused quite a stir in Magic City.
After all, a 3 billion dowry was truly impressive.
Never heard of such a thing!!!
But unlike before, this time, Lin Xuan didn't just earn criticism.
Opinions were split; some praised him, while others criticized him.
And the first person to hear this news was Su Shengtian, who was facing pressure from debt collectors within his company...
