Chapter 154: Chapter 104-105: Teasing / Goodbye_4
"Anything works." Luo Ye smiled, noticing the boy’s attentiveness was solely for his sister.
Luo Shui didn’t say anything, and neither did Luo Ye. She sipped her drink through a straw while gossiping east and west with Luoyang, making him laugh continuously until he rubbed his cheeks and complained of a sour face.
"Luo Ye..." Finally, Luo Shui couldn’t hold back.
"What is it?" Luo Ye looked at Luo Shui feigning confusion. This man was too proud; to cooperate smoothly with him, it was necessary to deflate his pride, otherwise, it would be difficult to say what would happen if a dispute arose later.
As far as she was concerned, it was best to cooperate, but it also didn’t matter if they couldn’t. She just recently sold the stocks she had purchased and had earned more than ten times her investment; she was now a multimillionaire approaching being a billionaire. Investments, after all, could progress gradually.
"I already made it very clear in my letter." Luo Shui’s eyebrows twitched; aside from his sister, he rarely interacted with other girls. If it wasn’t for her tempting proposal, he would never have taken the initiative to seek her out.
Luo Ye’s expression darkened: "Luo Shui, cooperation requires mutual respect. If this is your attitude, we’d better not talk."
"Luo Ye..." Luo Shui looked pleadingly towards his sister; he was always focused on technological research and really wasn’t good at handling these matters.
"Sister Ye’er, please forgive my brother, that’s just his temperament, arrogant as can be. The fact that he took the initiative to write to Sister Ye’er was already a huge surprise to me," Luoyang blinked his adorable big eyes, pondering, "Honestly, as long as I can remember, my brother never took the initiative to greet any girls. Really, if anyone’s lying, they’re a little dog."
"Yangyang, I’m talking about a cooperation, where I provide most of the technology and he perfects it. This has nothing to do with whether he interacts with girls or not. We can completely ignore gender." Luo Ye looked seriously at Luo Shui: "Don’t think I want to control your company. I can’t deny you’re talented and have a head for business.
However, to speak plainly, your personality is a bit radical. If my investment and technology only hold a minor share without controlling rights, I’d rather not participate. Think about it, if you can put aside your pride and follow my advice, then we can cooperate, otherwise let’s just drop this."
Luo Shui’s face showed a trace of anger: "Radical? Indeed, I am radical. If you had experienced all that I have, you would completely understand my feelings. From childhood, my sister and I faced endless discrimination and scorn. Do you know why I don’t interact with girls? Because they’re too mercenary, and my sister can testify to that."
Luoyang hurriedly pulled Luo Ye aside to explain: "Sister Ye’er, what my brother said is true. Before, there were girls who liked my brother, but after seeing the condition of our home, they broke up with him the very next day. Of course, that was before our parents made it big."
"Luo Shui, you were only 13 or 14 at that time, weren’t you? You’re still holding a grudge over a child’s issue to this day? The world is always full of those who look down on others but also full of genuinely kind-hearted people. You can’t encounter evil and believe there is no good. Remember I once said my brother and I were discriminated against too. Luo Shui was very disdainful, so now let me tell you about my and my brother’s experiences. I’m not comparing who had it worse, but to help you understand, sometimes what you see and think isn’t necessarily what you recognize..."
"Sister Ye’er, I didn’t expect what you and Brother Luo Feng went through to be even more tragic than what my brother and I endured." After Luo Ye finished speaking, Luoyang wiped his tears while sobbing.
Luo Ye smiled and took a tissue to wipe away Luoyang’s tears: "It’s all in the past. Look at you, crying like a little flowered cat. Thinking about it now, it’s nothing, it just toughened me up. Luo Shui, don’t carry so much resentment. I support you fighting to reclaim what belongs to you, but don’t lose faith in everyone in this world, especially not your parents, or else, you’ll regret it in the future."
Luo Shui nodded: "I will seriously consider your suggestions. Regarding company matters, I completely agree; your technology and foresight are indeed better than mine. I’ll draft a contract, and if you’re satisfied, we can start the registration process, how about that?"
"Sure, you’ll handle the main operations of the company, and I’ll oversee the overall direction and technology. Report the accounts to me once a month. List all these, clear rights and responsibilities mean fewer disputes, right?"
"Right, I’ve decided to overlook your gender from now on. You truly are broad-minded."
"Luo Shui, are you complimenting or belittling me?" Luo Ye could not help but smile wryly.
Luo Shui’s expression was extremely serious: "Of course, I’m complimenting you. I used to feel that girls were somewhat petty, which is why I was particularly unwilling when you mentioned controlling shares. But through your story just now, I clearly see your control over the development of Wenxin Garden, and I realize now, in this regard, I’m not as good as you. Your open-mindedness is wider than most men’s, judging from your daring to employ Su Yan’s husband."
"Sister Ye’er, my brother hardly ever praises anyone. He was a good student and completely self-reliant since high school. It’s not easy to receive his praise." Luoyang was very happy about his brother working with Luo Ye and delighted to mediate their relationship.
Luo Ye patted her forehead: "Luoyang, you could be Luo Shui’s manager."
...
It wasn’t too early in September when Luo Ye got home around seven o’clock. It was still somewhat light outside. As she entered the yard, she saw a moving truck driving out and curiously asked the security guard: "Uncle Lou, who is moving?"
When the mayor’s daughter asks, Uncle Lou naturally responded warmly, speaking in a hushed tone, "It’s the deputy director of the organization department, Wang Lidong. I heard he got life imprisonment."
"Life imprisonment?" Luo Ye was taken aback; she remembered it being fifteen years and even expected an early release. She had wondered why Wang Lidong hadn’t been incarcerated yet.
"Yeah, I heard he got involved with a drug trafficking gang. Of course, that’s just what I heard in the compound," chuckled Uncle Lou, seeming to realize he might have misspoken and smiling sheepishly.
