My Unexpected CEO Wife

Chapter 632: Chen Xuan's Tough Stance

"Wanxi, what do you mean by this?"

Zhang Jun frowned slightly, his expression displeased.

Lin Wanxi paused, turned around, and said softly, "Uncle, since we're discussing cooperation, this is a business matter."

"Family is family, and it can't be equated with business interests. Our relationship isn't suitable for discussing this topic."

"To avoid awkwardness, it's better for you to talk to Chen Xuan. As I just clearly stated, as long as Chen Xuan reaches an agreement with you, I have no objections."

Having said that, Lin Wanxi turned and left.

Uncle Zhang Jun frankly laid everything on the table, showing no mercy, determined to seize more benefits, but she wouldn't yield.

Seeing Lin Wanxi leave so decisively, giving no face at all, Zhang Jun felt a bit annoyed.

Chen Xuan took out a cigarette and lit it, "Uncle Zhang, Wanxi just made it very clear; we are engaging in a business collaboration here, so let's not involve other aspects."

"Of course, given the family relationship, some concessions are worth considering."

Zhang Jun glanced at Chen Xuan and sneered, "Alright, let's discuss the cooperation matters."

"Do you have any objections to my proposal just now?"

Chen Xuan exhaled a puff of smoke and chuckled, "Uncle Zhang, you need to invest to reap returns."

"My proposal is that all initial investments are borne by the Zhang Family, in exchange for 25% of the shares."

"That is to say, the Zhang Family will be the sole shareholder, able to participate in management, but Wanxi retains final decision-making power!"

Zhang Jun laughed in anger, "Chen Xuan, do you take me for a fool?"

"No, that's not the intention," Chen Xuan replied, waving his hand with a smile. "With 25% of the shares, your investment can be recouped within the year."

"Afterwards, you can sit back and enjoy dividend sharing; for the Zhang Family, this is simply an excellent investment."

Zhang Jun scoffed, "Chen Xuan, I'm willing to compromise; the initial investment can be by Zhang Family, but I want a 50% stake!"

"Additionally, I want my son, Zhang Xiangyang, to be the company's vice president! This proposal is very reasonable!"

Chen Xuan shook his head with a smile, "I'll also compromise: I'll agree to have Zhang Xiangyang as the vice president, but the shares can only be up to 30%, and that's the final bottom line."

"Chen Xuan, don't go too far!" Zhang Jun was furious, "Understand your position; now you're no more than a son-in-law of the Zhang Family! What qualifies you to bargain with me!"

Chen Xuan chuckled, "Uncle Zhang, I need to clarify something: my wife is Lin Wanxi, not your daughter Zhang Yan."

"Where does this claim of being a Zhang Family son-in-law come from?"

Flicking his cigarette ash, Chen Xuan stood up, "This is the final proposal; if you agree, we can sign the agreement immediately."

"Of course, you can also think it over; we're waiting for your response."

With those words, Chen Xuan turned to leave.

"Outrageous! You've turned rebellious!" Zhang Jun was furious, his anger boiling over.

Chen Xuan came outside, and Lin Wanxi was waiting for him in the car, "How did the talks with my uncle go?"

"Not very well," Chen Xuan replied, extinguishing his cigarette butt and shaking his head with a smile. "He still wants to plant Zhang Xiangyang into the company and demands 50% of the shares."

"It's clearly Sima Zhao's intent! Gradually erode and undermine your authority, turning it into private property of the Zhang Family!"

Lin Wanxi nodded, "From the moment uncle spoke, I saw his intention."

"What was your response?"

"The initial investment is by Zhang Family; we'll give at most 30% of the shares and agree to Zhang Xiangyang as the vice president," Chen Xuan replied softly.

Lin Wanxi nodded, "Mm, your proposal considers both family ties and our own interests — it's very well balanced."

"But for the Zhang Family, I fear it won't meet their desires, unable to satisfy their greedy appetite."

Chen Xuan said calmly, "I think there's nothing to negotiate with the Zhang Family; if we want development here, we rely on ourselves."

"Let's first set up a sales distribution center, similar to a city-level distributor; you only need to complete the product placement here."

Lin Wanxi smiled and nodded, "You and I thought of the same thing; I was considering it this way too."

"We won't completely fall out with the Zhang Family, nor cause a big conflict, and we can establish ourselves in Jiangnan City."

"Let's not delay; let's find a suitable warehouse and lease it now."

The two shared their opinions, exchanged a knowing smile, and drove away.

Meanwhile.

Zhang Jun was angrily reporting to the old man Zhang Dehou, "Dad, Lin Wanxi arranged for Chen Xuan to negotiate, clearly treating us Zhang Family with contempt."

"Now they feel powerful, really thinking they can do whatever they want in Jiangnan City!"

Zhang Dehou sneered, "They're still young and impulsive; unless they hit a snag, they won't know their limits."

"We'll watch closely and see the next steps Lin Wanxi takes, and then we'll come up with targeted restrictions! By then, she'll actively come to us for help!"

Zhang Jun sneered, "That's right; by then, we'll have the initiative in our hands!"

"Lin Wanxi is just a little girl, and Chen Xuan is a useless good-for-nothing; they can't compete with our Zhang Family! There are ways to drive them into a corner!"
