Chapter 212: Chapter 149: Yang Chen Calculates Every Step Precisely

Cheng Junjun’s grandmother came over and held Zhang Hailing’s hand, saying, "Child, don’t bother with her. From now on, this is your home, and you are one of the mistresses of this house. You and Da Long should get along well and let us have a grandchild soon. The inheritance will be your grandchild’s, and no one can take it away!"

Zhang Xiang immediately said, "In order for my client to quickly get out of this matter, I am now formally notifying you, either bring out my client’s mother’s inheritance now to split it equally, or we’ll see you in court. I will apply for a property preservation freeze, and you might be facing some hard times.

Anyone in the business world knows that once a company’s funds are frozen, it’s a death sentence.

Not to mention supplier payments, but the employees’ salaries won’t be able to be paid either, which will cause chaos, won’t it?

This is why many large companies love dragging small companies into lawsuits, leveraging their might to delay time against small companies, and in the end, it’s always the small company losing under financial pressure.

Cheng Dalong said, "Lawyer Zhang, you’re going too far! Just wait, I’ll call a lawyer over, I refuse to believe you can take anything from me."

Zhang Xiang clashed with him, saying, "If I can’t get Miss Cheng her rightful share of the inheritance, I’ll wash my hands of this and retire from the field."

Soon, Cheng Dalong’s lawyer Zhang Junlai arrived.

Upon seeing Zhang Xiang, Zhang Junlai knew the situation was troublesome.

Zhang Xiang said, "Junlai, it’s been a long time."

Zhang Junlai replied, "Brother Xiang, it’s been a long time. Whose influence is so great, they can get you to personally handle this kind of case? This person must be quite impressive?"

Zhang Xiang responded, "That’s not something you need to know. Let’s move on to the main issue."

The two lawyers discussed the matter of Cheng Junjun wanting a share of her mother’s inheritance, and ultimately they concluded that Cheng Junjun’s request was quite reasonable, and Cheng Dalong should distribute the 48% equity that Cheng Junjun’s mother held back then.

According to legal succession rules, the first order of heirs includes the spouse, children, and parents.

This means that besides Cheng Dalong and Cheng Junjun, her maternal grandfather and grandmother also have inheritance rights.

So, that 48% of equity needs to be evenly split into four parts, each at 12%, fairly inherited by Cheng Dalong, Cheng Junjun, her grandfather, and grandmother.

Now that Cheng Dalong is involved with Zhang Hailing, and it’s certain that Cheng Junjun’s grandparents will unconditionally side with her.

Therefore, if the distribution happens, Cheng Dalong would lose 36% of the equity.

Losing more than a third of the equity just like that is certainly not what Cheng Dalong wants.

"Lawyer Zhang, is there really no other way? As long as I don’t lose the equity, anything goes. I can pay more attorney fees, just put in more effort," Cheng Dalong said.

Zhang Junlai felt embarrassed and thought to himself, "Brother, saying that in front of Zhang Xiang, are you trying to get us both detained?"

"Legally, it does need to be distributed this way. However, we can settle privately and discuss other ways to replace the equity division. For instance, Mr. Cheng could compensate Miss Cheng with cash and other means in exchange for her waiver of inheritance rights. This is also feasible. I personally suggest solving it through private negotiation because once it goes to court, it might not be resolved for a year or more. If Brother Xiang applies for property preservation, Mr. Cheng’s company could be dragged down," Zhang Junlai explained.

Zhang Xiang was waiting for this sentence, as Yang Chen specifically instructed him to split the company’s business, and here it is.

Cheng Dalong nodded and cheerfully said, "Junjun, what do you think about me giving you ten million in cash, plus a villa if you, your grandfather, and your grandmother give up the inheritance rights? How does that sound?"

Having waited a long time, it was finally Cheng Junjun’s time to shine.

"No! Ten million sounds like a lot, but it spends quickly. If I spend all the money, how will I live in the future? I’d rather have a steady stream and want a share of the company’s equity," Cheng Junjun said.

Grandfather immediately roared, "Why don’t you just reach for the sky? You want to take company equity? Dream on!"

"Hey, can you stop fighting? With both lawyers here, does fighting do you any good? Does the law listen to your loud voice and act accordingly?" Cheng Dalong shouted.

Well, there’s nothing wrong with that statement.

The old man immediately quieted down, standing aside angrily but silent, while glaring at Cheng Junjun as if he wanted to rush over and hit her.

After a round of negotiations, Cheng Junjun brought up the demand to take part of the company’s business.

Cheng Dalong’s brain quickly processed, and after a brief thought, he nodded and agreed.

"Okay, I can give you a portion of the business and employees, but the business of Longmei International Hospital Group cannot be given to you. You can take all the rest," Cheng Dalong said.

Over 70% of the company’s business comes from Longmei International Hospital Group, and the rest combined contribute to only 30% of the revenue.

Moreover, Longmei International Hospital’s business is highly profitable, while other hospitals have relatively lower profit margins.

Of course, Cheng Dalong wants to completely retain Longmei International Hospital’s business and let Cheng Junjun take other businesses.

Most importantly, Cheng Dalong believes that even if Cheng Junjun takes those businesses, she won’t do well with them. Later, he can maneuver a bit and regain those businesses.

The result is that while Cheng Junjun ostensibly inherits part of the company’s business and her mother’s legacy, she eventually gets nothing, which is much more beneficial than handing her 36% of the company equity.

With that thought, Cheng Dalong was overjoyed and almost couldn’t suppress his laughter.

What about Zhang Xiang? Just so-so, not particularly capable, haha...

All things considered, Yang Chen, although not personally involved, has calculated every step.

Now, everyone involved is a piece on Yang Chen’s chessboard, moving entirely according to his plan.

Cheng Junjun thought to herself, "Yang Chen is truly brilliant, having thought through every step. This man is not only handsome but also intelligent and wealthy—simply perfect."

Meanwhile, somewhere else, Yang Chen, while recruiting customers, suddenly sneezed thrice.

"Hmm? Who is praising me for being handsome, wealthy, and smart?"
