Chapter 528 The reason for Du Xiaoyus dissatisfaction
When I left Qianjin, I happened to meet Du Xiaoyu who was driving there.
Naturally, they got out of the car and chatted for a few words, but Du Xiaoyu seemed to focus all the conversation on Sun Jiancheng.
It was Du Xiaoyu's intention to ask Sun Jiancheng to be his driver. Sun Jiancheng was kind to Du Xiaoyu. It was still in the New Year, and it was only natural for Du Xiaoyu to chat with him more.
But when I got home at night, Du Xiaoyu's attitude towards Cheng Yu became much more obvious. I don't know if he was avoiding something or resisting something. In short, after Du Xiaoyu went to Hong Kong Island, it seemed that there was a gap between him and Cheng Yu.
, and never get along with him like before.
Although he was a little disappointed, Cheng Yu also felt that this was the best.
After all, brain tumors and the God-cutting system are threatening Cheng Yu's life all the time, and he doesn't know when he will be able to get rid of these two damn things.
Even though he had more than 17,000 points in his hand, which could be exchanged for at least three years of life, Cheng Yu still felt that it was not safe.
The days passed like this, and in a blink of an eye the Lantern Festival was here.
Originally, Cheng Yu planned to go back to his home with Du Xiaoyu to celebrate the Lantern Festival, but early in the morning of the Lantern Festival, Ning Kezhu called and asked Cheng Yu to go back at noon to celebrate the festival.
Cheng Yu found it strange. Ning Kezhu said that Cheng Guangnian and Du Changfeng had agreed that this year's Lantern Festival would be held at Du Changfeng's house, and the couple would go there together.
The reason why Cheng Yu was asked to go back for the festival at noon was to give Cheng Yu time to spend with Cheng Qingsong.
However, Cheng Yu always felt that Ning Kezhu had an uncontrollable excitement on the phone and was babbling about it. The last sentence explaining that he wanted to give Cheng Yu time to accompany Cheng Qingsong also seemed particularly deliberate.
Cheng Yu doesn't need to deliberately go back to accompany Cheng Qingsong on such holidays. Usually, whenever he is free, he will go back by himself.
However, he rarely stayed at home to have dinner. He usually stayed with the old man, or even took him out for a walk. He would disappear by four or five o'clock.
Even if Cheng Guangnian and Ning Kezhu didn't have many opportunities to see Cheng Yu, there was no way they didn't know that Cheng Yu had gone back.
Uncle Wu had served his duty faithfully for so many years. Cheng Yu believed that as long as he went back to see his grandfather, he would definitely report to Cheng Guangnian and Ning Kezhu when they returned home.
What's more, since the establishment of Qianjin, Ning Kezhu has completely turned into a carefree person.
Although she often goes out with her best friends to go to the spa, practice yoga or go shopping, etc., she spends significantly more time at home. Cheng Yu often goes back to visit Cheng Qingsong, and she sees it.
Being so deliberate, coupled with a sense of jumping in emotions, always makes people feel that something is wrong.
Cheng Yu didn't bother to guess too much. If something really happened, it would be announced sooner or later, so just let it take its course.
Cheng Yu climbed out of the space capsule. Du Xiaoyu was still lying on the bed, but had already started to turn over his cell phone. It was obvious that he had been awake for a long time.
"My mother called and asked us to go back at noon. She said we would celebrate the festival at your house in the evening. Do you have anything else to do at the company today?"
Du Xiaoyu didn't even raise his eyelids, still looking at the phone, and said: "I know, my mother told me yesterday."
"Then you won't tell me?"
"Do I have this obligation?"
Cheng Yu was so crowded that he had nothing to say.
He opened his mouth, intending to ask Du Xiaoyu what was wrong, but after thinking about it, he still didn't ask.
"Then I'll wash up first."
"Um."
Cheng Yu shook his head and walked into the bathroom.
After washing up, he saw that Du Xiaoyu had also gotten up.
Seeing Cheng Yu come out, Du Xiaoyu was about to go to the bathroom.
After hesitating for a moment, Cheng Yu still said: "Xiaoyu, I don't know what's wrong with you recently. However, today we have to go back and forth between our two families. We..."
"Don't worry, I have no problem with my acting skills." After Du Xiaoyu said that, he closed the bathroom door, leaving Cheng Yu very embarrassed in the bedroom.
When I walked to the yard, although it was still winter, the sunshine was pretty good.
The clouds are high, and the sky is actually blue. Environmental management has been getting better and better in the past two years, and the sky is more blue, and we are no longer troubled by smog.
When Aunt Zhang saw Cheng Yu, she walked out with a smile and asked, "Uncle, what do you want for breakfast?"
"It's alright. Aunt Zhang, please take care of the arrangements." Cheng Yu walked towards the door, "I'll go for a walk and eat when I come back. Xiaoyu is washing up, so you can get ready first."
Aunt Zhang agreed with a smile, Cheng Yu opened the door and walked out.
Wandering around the community, I occasionally met neighbors and greeted them warmly.
Although the people who live in Wudong's courtyard are either rich or noble, there are also levels of wealth. Cheng Yu and Du Xiaoyu's family can't make more concessions than these people put together, let alone two families now.
marriage.
Therefore, although Cheng Yu did not remember much about the faces of his neighbors in the courtyard, they still remembered him deeply.
I went out and walked along the Qinhuai River for a while. I walked relatively quickly. Although the time was not too long, there was only a thin layer of white sweat on my body.
After holding on to the railing of the Qinhuai River and looking into the distance for a while, Cheng Yu saw that the time was already past ten o'clock and started to walk back.
Back home, Aunt Zhang hurriedly heated up the breakfast she had prepared. Cheng Yu ate some at will and asked Du Xiaoyu, who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa and still playing with his mobile phone: "If everything is okay, let's go there now?"
Du Xiaoyu didn't even raise his head and agreed: "Okay." As he said that, he still held the phone in his hand, but his steps began to move.
Cheng Yu sighed slightly in his heart, said nothing more, and stood at the door waiting for Du Xiaoyu.
After Du Xiaoyu crossed the threshold, he handed Cheng Yu a hand. Cheng Yu was stunned for a moment, and then saw Aunt Zhang sitting outside the kitchen door picking vegetables, but her eyes were obviously peeking at them.
Holding Du Xiaoyu's hand, Cheng Yu said to Aunt Zhang: "Aunt Zhang, we are not coming back for dinner today. We will go to my house at noon and Xiaoyu's house in the evening."
"Okay, okay, I know."
Aunt Zhang's expression was a bit arrogant. Cheng Yu rolled his eyes and thought to himself, why do you all know about it? I only just found out about it this morning.
However, looking at Aunt Zhang's expression, Cheng Yu couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart. He felt a slight movement in his heart, as if he realized why everyone knew it, and only he knew it last.
The Cheng and Du families had originally planned to hold Cheng Yu and Du Xiaoyu's wedding in the next year. Today's wedding is a bit mysterious. Isn't this the case?
Driving the car, Cheng Yu left Wu Dong's yard and headed south toward the Cheng family.
Du Xiaoyu was sitting in the passenger seat, still playing with her mobile phone with her head down. It seemed that her interest in mobile phones had been extraordinary recently.
After thinking about it for a moment, Cheng Yu asked, "Do you know something? Is there anything going on between our two families today?"
Du Xiaoyu finally put down the phone temporarily, raised his head and looked at Cheng Yu, and said with a half-smile: "I didn't go into details, but if you can ask, you must have guessed it. This is not something that was decided last year.
What? Don’t worry, I know that we are a couple in name only, and I am not afraid of one more wedding. I think you will be free soon. "
Cheng Yu frowned, Du Xiaoyu's tone seemed a bit frivolous, which was not like her usual style.
"What does it mean to be relieved soon?"
"Divorce me... Of course, not only you are freed, but I am also freed. Then we will go back to our respective homes and find our respective mothers. You can also go find the person you really like."
Cheng Yu's brows were furrowed and a horizontal line showed the character "王" who was asleep.
"What do you mean? Just divorce... We got married to prevent..."
"Stop your dad from going crazy...but soon he will have no reason to go crazy."
"Du Xiaoyu, please explain clearly, what is going on?"
"You don't know?" Du Xiaoyu seemed unbelievable.
Cheng Yu's heart was racing, wondering if Du Xiaoyu's attitude during this period had something to do with this matter?
Otherwise, why would you suddenly be so cold to yourself, as if you were a different person?
"I don't know what you are going to say, and I don't know if I know what you didn't say. But at least, I don't know what happened to you!"
This was a bit awkward to say, but Du Xiaoyu understood it after thinking about it for a while.
There was something on Du Xiaoyu's mind, and Cheng Yu was not sure whether he knew about it.
But at least, Cheng Yu never knew the reason for Du Xiaoyu's attitude toward him.
This is what Cheng Yu wants to express.
But in Du Xiaoyu's view, if Cheng Yu knew the knot in his heart, it would be impossible not to know why he treated him like this.
It seems that Cheng Yu really doesn't know about this.
"Your father is the instigator, and you are the one who has vested interests. Don't you know?"
Cheng Yu braked and parked the car on the side of the road.
He unbuckled his seat belt, opened the door and walked out.
Putting his hands on the roof of the car, Cheng Yu said: "Let's talk clearly here first. What do you know, who is the instigator, and who has vested interests?"
Du Xiaoyu also unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car. He looked at Cheng Yu with a joking look and said, "Do you really know nothing? This is all at your father's request!"
"What I guessed is that my mother was a little bit excited when she called me today, and she seemed very excited..."
"Nonsense, I'd be very excited too. What's more exciting than getting something for nothing?"
Cheng Yu frowned, ignored Du Xiaoyu's attitude, and continued: "Then I told Aunt Zhang that we would not go home for dinner today, but would go to the two sides to celebrate the festival.
Aunt Zhang was also very excited and said she knew.
Co-authored, am I the only one who doesn’t know about this matter now?
In addition, what I don’t quite understand is what you just said about those with vested interests and what you said about getting something for nothing. I am getting more and more confused about these things.
But if you want to say that my mother is excited about me, a vested interest who has gained something for nothing, that’s it. What does Aunt Zhang mean by being excited?
Therefore, my guess just now is that the two families want to discuss our wedding.
Of course, I have been confirmed by what you just said."
Du Xiaoyu looked at the slightly angry Cheng Yu, thoughtfully.
"So, you really don't know about the shares?"
"What shares?"
"Share of Du Group."
Cheng Yu looked at Du Xiaoyu blankly, shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Du Xiaoyu stared at Cheng Yu's eyes for a long time, as if she wanted to see some clues in his eyes.
Perhaps because he felt that Cheng Yu's pupils were still crystal clear, Du Xiaoyu breathed a long sigh of relief: "So, I have misunderstood you these days?"
"What did my dad do again? Did he force your dad to sell his shares?"
In fact, the answer is basically ready to be revealed now. After all, several key words have been revealed.
However, there is still a slight gap between Cheng Yu's guess and the truth.
Du Xiaoyu shook his head and said: "Your father asked my father to transfer more than 80% of the shares of Du Group to my name, and this is a gift to our family.
In other words, this share will be shared as property after marriage between the two of us. Once we divorce one day, you can get half of the shares of Du Group in my hand.
My father has almost 27 points of shares in his name, 80% of which is close to 22 points. If each of us has half, you will have another 11 points of Du Group shares.
In addition to the eight points of shares you originally owned, congratulations, Cheng Yu, as soon as you divorce me, you will become the largest shareholder of the Du Group."
After hearing this, Cheng Yu was completely stunned.
Share transfer? And as a transfer of common property?
What is Cheng Guangnian doing?
Do we have to get the Du Group?
Cheng Yu immediately began to calculate in his mind.
Du Changfeng originally held 27% of the Du Group's shares and was the absolute largest shareholder of the Du Group.
Wei Lan no longer has any shares in the Du Group under his name.
When Qianjin was established, she had already transferred all the shares of the Du Group to Du Xiaoyu for one yuan in accordance with Cheng Guangnian's request.
Cheng Yu remembers that it seemed to be a few percent.
In the matter of the establishment of Qianjin, Cheng Yu obtained six points of Du Group's shares. Later, due to the Xixi subway project, Du Changfeng forced all shareholders to cut their shares and jointly took out two points of shares.
Shares to Cheng Yu.
At that time, although the ownership seemed to be more dispersed, in fact, Du Changfeng strengthened his control over the Du Group.
Because he was twenty-seven and Du Xiaoyu was more than five points, and together with Cheng Yu's shares, Du Changfeng's actual control of shares exceeded 40% of the entire Du Group's shares.
Coupled with those shareholders who can be regarded as unconditional and unprincipled support for Du Changfeng, some shareholders even simply put their shares in Du Changfeng's hands and let him control the voting rights. In this way, Du Changfeng completely achieved control in operation.
The entire Du Group.
This is why Du Changfeng met with opposition from many people when he wanted to issue an additional 2% of shares.
But who would have thought that Cheng Guangnian forced Cheng Yu and Du Xiaoyu to "get married" but was still not satisfied and even made such unreasonable demands as now.
Cheng Yu couldn't say he knew nothing about this matter, but he didn't think Du Changfeng would really comply.
But now, it seems like it’s really going to happen?
According to what Du Xiaoyu said, Du Changfeng wanted to transfer nearly 22 points of shares to the family of Du Xiaoyu and Cheng Yu. Of course, it seemed that there would be no change, because as long as Cheng Yu and Du Xiaoyu were married, they
The total shares held even reached more than 35%, which naturally would not hinder Du Changfeng's control of the Du Group.
But what about divorce?
The property is jointly owned by husband and wife, and it is transferred at the request of Cheng Guangnian. There is no doubt that this will be clearly stated in the transfer agreement.
Cheng Yu and Du Xiaoyu must own half of the twenty-two points of Du Group's shares.
As long as they divorce, Cheng Yu will immediately automatically own 11 points of Du Group's shares, and the total shares will reach 19 points.
At present, the largest shareholder of Du Group, other than Du Changfeng, only owns 13% of the shares of Du Group.
Du Xiaoyu was right, Cheng Yu would become the largest shareholder of Du Group.
Of course, in that case, Du Xiaoyu will also obtain a total of more than 16 points of Du Group's shares, and she will replace the previous second largest shareholder.
But this doesn't help.
Cheng Yu could even imagine that once he divorced Du Xiaoyu and became the largest shareholder of the Du Group, a large number of shareholders within the Du Group would inevitably turn to Cheng Guangnian.
Although Du Xiaoyu only has less than four points less shares than Cheng Yu, it may not be who can really control the Du Group by then.
Of course, Cheng Yu knew it in his heart. No matter what, he would not act as an aid to others and would never sit back and watch Cheng Guangnian encroach on the Du Group.
He didn't know about others. At least, no matter how many shares he held, he would not give Cheng Guangnian even one vote on the board of directors.
Unless all shareholders of the Du Group except Du Xiaoyu and Du Changfeng defect to Cheng Guangnian's side, Cheng Guangnian will never be able to control the Du Group.
But even that would cause great harm to the Du Group.
Cheng Guangnian is really cruel.
Cheng Yu's face was filled with gloom. He squinted his eyes slightly and said, "I don't want it! Moreover, I can transfer the eight points of shares in my hand to your dad at any time for one yuan."
Du Xiaoyu was stunned and said in disbelief: "Really?"
"Those shares were forced upon me by Lao Cheng and your father, and I never thought about getting those shares.
Including the five points of shares in the Cheng Group, I have never wanted them.
My own company is now valued at more than 3 billion, so what’s the point of wanting those shares?
Do you think that with my ability, I can’t make my company a tens-billion-level unicorn?”
"But don't you know how much those Du Group shares are worth?"
Cheng Yu smiled, shook his head and said: "Of course I know, I majored in macroeconomics. If I didn't want to continue studying, it would be no problem for me to get another actuarial degree when I graduate.
I can’t figure out this simple conversion of shares and market value?
It's just that these shares have nothing to do with me from the beginning.
If I have to say there is a relationship, there are only two points that are relevant to me.
Those were the shares your father helped me win over on the pretext of the Xixi subway project.
Therefore, if Uncle Du needs it, I can return these shares to him at any time."
Du Xiaoyu was silent for a long time before she raised her head again and looked at Cheng Yu through the roof of the Maserati Quattroporte: "Cheng Yu, can I believe you?"
Cheng Yu laughed and said: "It is true that I am a very stingy person, but my stinginess is always limited to who pays for a meal and who pays for a taxi.
We have known each other for almost a year. Have you ever seen me fight with anyone for profit?
Including those things where asking you to pay the bill shows that I am very stingy. I am just adhering to the principle of whoever makes suggestions is responsible.
I said I’d treat you to dinner, when would I have to pay for it?
Of course, you don’t have to believe this.
All in all, Lao Cheng and I are not the same person.
When I went back soon, I told Lao Cheng that I would not accept your father's gift.
For a gift to be legally valid, it also needs to be accepted by the recipient.
As long as I don't accept it, no one can force your father to do anything."
Du Xiaoyu tilted his head and thought about it carefully. It seemed that it was true that Cheng Yu's stingy behavior in the past was just as he said. He had never escaped when it was his turn to pay the bill, but if it was Du
Cheng Yu would never rush to pay for anything suggested by Xiaoyu or others just to show the so-called gentlemanly demeanor.
He is just a man who can happily watch girls pay the bill.
Of course, those are small sums of money, no matter how small, and are not the same as the 11% shares of Du Group.
Maintaining integrity in the face of small money does not mean that you can still do so in the face of huge wealth.
But Cheng Yu's expression, language, and behavior made Du Xiaoyu willing to believe everything he said.
After hesitating for a moment, Du Xiaoyu said: "Actually, there is no need to compete head-on with your father.
If you really have no intention of getting involved in my father's shares of Du Group, and your father has insisted on doing so from the beginning, he will not give up easily.
So, Cheng Yu, I think you might as well let my dad act according to your dad's request. However, you privately sign a notarized and legally binding document to express your refusal to accept any gifts from my father.
.
In this way, once there is a situation that you and I don't want to see, my dad only needs to take out the legal document you signed to refuse the gift, and his gift will automatically become invalid, and those shares will return to his name.
Down……"
Cheng Yu's eyes lit up...
It seems that this is really the best solution.
It not only made Cheng Guangnian think that his plan was proceeding in an orderly manner, but also fundamentally eliminated the possibility of him getting involved in the Du Group in the future.
And Du Changfeng did all this according to Cheng Guangnian's request...
Cheng Yu didn't know what Cheng Guangnian promised Du Changfeng, but he believed that Du Changfeng would never embezzle the Cheng Group.
In this way, you really get the best of both worlds.
Of course, the premise is that the rubbing must be done secretly.
"When is your father going to sign the share gift agreement?" Cheng Yu asked.
"Let's go to our wedding as a wedding gift from our parents."
"Do you want to hold this wedding?" Cheng Yu asked again.
Du Xiaoyu frowned and said, "Are you worried about me? My acting skills should be okay, right? Isn't this what we have always discussed?"
