Chapter 213 - 209: Merger Plan

Chapter 213: Chapter 209: Merger Plan

After a round of courtesies, Zhou Dong gradually shifted to the main topic and discussed Dragon Doctor with Long Chen.

Long Chen deeply exchanged views regarding Dragon Doctor with Zhou Dong.

After about twenty minutes, Zhou Dong smiled and said, "Currently, there’s a matter I need to discuss with you, but I also feel, somewhat hesitant to bring it up."

"Mr. Zhou, please feel free to speak your mind, there’s no need for any concerns," Long Chen replied with a smile.

"Alright, then I’ll speak frankly," Zhou Dong said. "Mr. Long, the funds of Dragon Doctor and your personal funds have reached a tremendously frightening level, rarely seen in history.

Ancestor Xia hopes, Mr. Long, that you could deposit most of the funds into the Great Xia People’s Bank, but rest assured, Mr. Long, you can transfer it out whenever you need. Would you be willing to cooperate?"

"Is Ancestor Xia worried that if a large amount of money goes out of control, it might cause some undesirable incidents?"

"Yes, exactly that, Mr. Long. Rest assured, the funds are still yours, only, some regulations need to be put in place," Zhou Dong said.

"Okay, no problem," Long Chen smiled. "Just give me an account number, and I’ll transfer it directly."

"Mr. Long, that wouldn’t be appropriate," Zhou Dong said with a bitter smile. "We’re not bandits; we just want to engage in a major strategic cooperation with you. The specifics still need discussion, and a contract needs to be signed. If Mr. Long is willing to cooperate, we should find another opportunity to discuss further. If Mr. Long is unwilling, you can also directly refuse. Ancestor Xia instructed that if Mr. Long is unwilling, it’s alright; we won’t force you to do anything, and it won’t affect your life one bit."

"Mr. Zhou, then you draft the contract. I’m willing to cooperate in any way necessary; money isn’t important to me," Long Chen smiled.

"Okay, Mr. Long, then let’s meet again tomorrow," Zhou Dong said.

"That’s fine," Long Chen nodded. "Mr. Zhou, once you’re ready, just let me know."

"Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Long."

Zhou Dong stood up and shook hands with Long Chen.

Moments later, Zhou Dong left.

Long Chen also returned to the company and discussed the matter with Xia Ling.

Xia Ling wasn’t too surprised by this situation; she had anticipated something like this.

"Xia Ling, I think these are minor issues; they don’t impact us much. You handle the follow-ups with Mr. Zhou however you see fit," Long Chen said.

"Alright, but now, I want to discuss another matter with you," Xia Ling said. "Regarding Li Yuechan’s and Zhao Churan’s companies, they have accepted investments.

So, I want to discuss with you the possibility of merging with their companies to form a corporation. United development and progress might yield better results."

"Do you think Yuechan and Churan would agree?" Long Chen asked.

"I’ve already felt them out, and they should both agree. Sigh, mainly I’m just too exhausted alone; I hope they can help share the burden," Xia Ling said.

"Then tonight, let’s have dinner together and discuss it in person," Long Chen smiled.

"Mhm, that’s exactly what I meant. I’ll leave arranging it to you," Xia Ling said.

"Then tonight come over to my place for dinner, and don’t leave afterward," Long Chen said.

"Do you really dare bring me back? Aren’t you afraid they’ll notice something?" Xia Ling asked with a smile.

"I actually hope they do notice something. It’s kind of a preemptive measure, after all, eventually, we are going to be one family," Long Chen smiled.

Hearing this, Xia Ling’s eyes reddened and moistened instantly.

"I thought you’d always want me to keep it a secret."

Xia Ling excitedly threw herself into Long Chen’s arms.

"Fool, how could I let you remain unrecognized forever? Sooner or later, I will let the world know that Xia Ling is Long Chen’s woman and no one will dare ridicule you," Long Chen spoke softly.

"I trust you."

Xia Ling held Long Chen tightly.

...

In the blink of an eye, a day had passed.

As night fell, Long Chen brought Xia Ling back home.

Zhao Churan and Li Yuechan had already cooked dinner, but seeing Long Chen return with Xia Ling still seemed to surprise them.

Following that, Zhao Churan and Li Yuechan warmly hosted Xia Ling.

They have contacted Xia Ling many times before and were quite acquainted with each other.

"Long Chen, next time you bring someone over, give us a heads up, okay? If you had told us earlier, we would have prepared a couple more dishes."

Li Yuechan gave Long Chen a sideways glance.

"This is already quite lavish. My favorite is home-style hotpot."

Xia Ling said with a smile.

"Director Xia, shall we get started?"

Zhao Churan asked with a smile.

"Let’s do it."

Xia Ling smiled and nodded.

"I’ll go get the wine."

Li Yuechan immediately said.

Han Min was also at the dinner table, but she didn’t speak, appearing somewhat aloof, but it wasn’t affecting anything.

"Brother Chen, can I drink?"

Unrivaled carefully asked.

"Kids shouldn’t be drinking alcohol, just focus on eating," Long Chen said.

"Got it."

Unrivaled stuck out her tongue, looking exceptionally cute.

Xia Ling glanced at Unrivaled, stunned by her beauty, and couldn’t help but praise her, "This girl will undoubtedly be a nation-toppler when she grows up."

"Of course, when I grow up, I want to be Brother Chen’s woman. I must be beautiful to match up to Brother Chen."

Unrivaled said haughtily.

"Haha, by the time you grow up, your Brother Chen will be old. Would you still fancy him then?"

Zhao Churan teased.

"Brother Chen will never grow old. He will stay forever young and always be this handsome."

Unrivaled said seriously.

"Such a sweet talker, come give Brother Chen a hug."

Long Chen opened his arms.

"Hehe, coming!"

Unrivaled jumped up excitedly and threw herself into Long Chen’s arms.

Seeing this, Zhuge Xuan immediately got jealous, "Brother Long Chen, I want a hug too."

"You’re a big girl now, aren’t you embarrassed?"

"Big girls can’t have hugs? Wuu, Brother Long Chen, you’re so biased. I’m so sad, the hotpot doesn’t even taste good anymore."

Zhuge Xuan was on the verge of tears.

Long Chen ignored Zhuge Xuan and laughed, "Let’s start, we’ll talk while we eat."

"Come on, Director Xia, don’t be shy, let’s eat."

Zhao Churan called Xia Ling over.

After three rounds of drinks, Xia Ling brought up the matter of the merger.

Contrary to her expectations, Li Yuechan and Zhao Churan agreed instantly without any hesitation.

"Director Xia, why don’t you give our group a name?" Zhao Churan said with a smile.

"Oh, stop calling me Director Xia. We’re about the same age, so let’s just call each other sisters. I might be just a bit older than you, so feel free to call me Sister Xia."

Xia Ling said with a smile.

At this point, Xia Ling was slightly tipsy.

A tipsy beauty is most enticing.

Every move she made was filled with an indescribable charm.

Li Yuechan and Zhao Churan, in terms of beauty, were not inferior to Xia Ling.

Three beauties sitting together constituted a spectacular scene in this world.

"Churan, let’s call her Sister Xia from now on. Sister Xia, the merger is indeed good for us. Please give our group a name."
