Chapter 631: Zhang Jun Comes Clean
Chen Xuan chuckled lightly and said, "No need to overthink it, we've faced all sorts of challenges along the way."
"No matter how complex the situation, as long as we approach it seriously, any problem can be easily solved!"
Lin Wanxi smiled gently, "Yes, I have confidence in myself, and even more in you!"
Hahaha...
Chen Xuan laughed heartily, "Then let's go find a suitable office location right now."
Lin Wanxi shook her head, "No rush, let's figure out the Zhang Family's intentions first, then make plans."
"Sounds good, I'll follow your lead." Chen Xuan nodded slightly.
...
The next morning, Zhang Jun proactively called Lin Wanxi, inviting her to the Zhang Family for a meal.
"Alright, Uncle, I'll be there shortly."
Lin Wanxi didn't feel right to refuse, so after hanging up, she looked at Chen Xuan, "Uncle invited me for a meal, seems like they're planning to lay cards on the table."
"What do you think?" Chen Xuan asked.
Lin Wanxi pondered, "If the Zhang Family's demands are not excessive, for the sake of family, I don't want to make a fuss."
"But if they are insatiably greedy, then there's no deal to be made. I can't let the Zhang Family bind me."
Chen Xuan nodded, knowing Lin Wanxi was a principled woman, and she had her own judgment.
"Let's head over then, and see what's on their mind."
The two headed to the Zhang Family again.
Zhang Jun greeted them warmly with a smile, "Wanxi, weren't you talking about setting up a branch in Jiangnan City yesterday? What are your plans?"
"For a new factory and office location, Uncle can help you find them."
Lin Wanxi smiled and nodded, "I'm still considering it. I can handle these matters myself, and don't want to trouble Uncle and the Zhang Family too much."
She declined politely, not wanting the Zhang Family to meddle in her affairs.
Zhang Jun laughed, waving his hands, "What's the trouble in that? Don't treat Uncle like an outsider!"
"Wanxi, you have to know that this is Jiangnan City after all, not your Zhonghai City."
"Uncle is more familiar with many things here and can help you set up the new company faster and better."
Lin Wanxi wasn't foolish; there's no such thing as a free lunch.
Even if the offers came from her grandfather and uncle, they wouldn't help without benefits.
But Zhang Jun didn't make it clear, and if not clarified now, it would become a muddled account in the future.
Discussing it later would only put her in a passive position.
"Uncle, I appreciate your kindness."
"Investing in the factory entails a significant capital investment; how could I possibly let the Zhang Family bear this burden?"
Lin Wanxi smiled as she tactfully refused, further testing Zhang Jun's intentions.
Zhang Jun chuckled, "Wanxi, let's not beat around the bush, let's lay all cards on the table."
"It's only right for the Zhang Family to help you, after all, your mother is my dear sister, so we're really close."
"Besides, it's mutually beneficial and advantageous for both parties."
Lin Wanxi exchanged a look with Chen Xuan, and said with a light smile, "What kind of mutual benefit, Uncle? Please explain in detail."
"It's simple." Zhang Jun said cheerfully, "I help you find the right location and handle all procedures, and you can invest in building the factory."
"By then, we'll operate together, each holding fifty percent of the shares. With the Zhang Family backing you up, you'll definitely be able to capture the market in no time."
The smile on Lin Wanxi's face froze; she couldn't genuinely smile.
If the person speaking wasn't her uncle, Lin Wanxi would have immediately dropped her smile, showing no pleasant expression.
This isn't help at all, clearly trying to gain something for nothing!
Not even putting forth a quarter of the effort, nor investing any money, yet wanting fifty percent of the shares and joint operation.
Clearly treating her as a puppet!
With hidden intentions!
Some words, due to sentiment, Lin Wanxi found unsuitable to say openly.
Chen Xuan had no such concerns, and at this moment, he must speak up to relieve Lin Wanxi.
"Uncle Zhang, I'll continue to address you as such."
Chen Xuan spoke softly, "I find your proposal a bit inappropriate."
Hmm?
Zhang Jun looked at Chen Xuan, frowning slightly, "How is it inappropriate?"
"You are reaching too far, and your appetite is too large." Chen Xuan chuckled, subtly suggesting "insatiable greed."
Zhang Jun couldn't miss the implication and snorted, "Chen Xuan, you're just an outsider, not qualified to speak."
"I'm discussing this with my niece; it has nothing to do with you, understand?"
Lin Wanxi said calmly, "Uncle, that's not right."
"Chen Xuan is my husband, so how is he an outsider? His words fully represent mine."
"Regarding the cooperation, you should discuss it with Chen Xuan. As long as he agrees, then it's settled."
With that, Lin Wanxi stood up, exchanged a glance with Chen Xuan, and took the lead to leave the room.
She knew Chen Xuan wasn't one to be taken advantage of, and wouldn't let the Zhang Family gain the upper hand easily!
Even if it meant strained relations, it didn't matter...
