A Non-Aloof President is Not a Good Male Lead

Chapter 13-14

Chapter 13

Fang Mo naturally read the report that Manager Wu had submitted.

It introduced the current situation of the Zhu family. The eldest member, Grandfather Zhu, was already in his eighties and lived with his eldest son's family. The house was also under his name. Grandfather Zhu had two sons and a daughter. The daughter had married far away, while the other son lived in the capital and owned a small-sized house.

Manager Wu and the others, as experienced senior employees, had already considered and tried various solutions that ordinary people could think of, including persuading the second son of the Zhu family to talk to his own brother and father. But the other party was firm and insisted on 14 million yuan. Not a penny less.

They couldn't just force the Zhu family like hooligans, could they?

Doesn't Yuan Corporation still care about its reputation? It's a rule of law society now!

After Fang Mo finished reading it, she also pondered if there were any other options. She even remembered reading a novel with a similar situation before. How did they handle it?

Oh, intentionally having someone speak in front of Grandfather Zhu about the irreversible reasons for devaluing that piece of land, scaring him into wanting to sell. It was a simple method that worked.

But in reality, this trick obviously wouldn't work.

No one is a fool. If the land is truly unusable, why did Yuan Corporation buy it in the first place?

Shouldn't you be the first ones to back off? Why do you still want to buy their house?

For the Zhu family, if they don't sell, they can just maintain their current lifestyle. If they want to sell, it must be at that price!

Now, if Fang Mo were the decision-maker, what should she do?

After a moment of contemplation, Fang Mo coughed lightly, drawing the attention of Yuan Huaijing and Zhao Yan, who were locked in a silent battle of glances. Once both of them turned their attention to her, she began to ask her question.

"Senior, do you know how they will spend the 14 million yuan if they actually get it?"

Since she couldn't come up with a good idea at the moment, Fang Mo thought of reverse-thinking.

By looking at the process from the perspective of the result, there might be a solution hidden within.

Zhao Yan chuckled when he heard her question. He didn't expect Fang Mo to think along the same lines as him so quickly.

"I just had a chat with Grandfather Zhu," Zhao Yan said, staying behind specifically to ask this question. "He didn't hide anything and said that all the money would be used to buy houses, with any remaining amount going towards renovations."

Fang Mo continued her inquiry, "So, how do they plan to divide it? What are the three children's intentions?"

For Grandfather Zhu, who was getting older, the temptation of selling or not selling the house wasn't that significant. Instead, the thoughts of his three children were more important.

Just like how he currently lived with Grandfather Zhu's eldest son's family, if the eldest son decided not to sell or demanded a high price, Grandfather Zhu wouldn't have any objections.

Zhao Yan still had an answer to Fang Mo's question.

Perhaps initially, Grandfather Zhu didn't plan on sharing such details, but he couldn't resist Zhao Yan's skill in striking at the heart of the matter during their conversation. In just a few sentences, he managed to draw out the information.
