TMLFDN 70

He was leaning towards the other side, with his left hand propped on the armrest, supporting his head, and his right hand resting on the other side of the armrest, holding Jiang Yuying's hand that reached over.

As she spoke, the woman looked worried, as if afraid of not finding a suitable car and giving a gift that wouldn't measure up.

The two accompanying them, a manager and a saleswoman, had different expressions. Although the manager had a smile on his face, he had just glared at the saleswoman with eyes that clearly conveyed a sense of resentment for "creating trouble." The saleswoman also looked nervous, sitting with her legs together, hands placed on her knees, looking very obedient, knowing she had made a mistake.

Xie Li, once a 9-6 oppressed worker, actually didn't like this kind of thing. Did the saleswoman do anything wrong? Not really. She was very sincere and would honestly tell you the pros and cons of a car and its bottom price.

Xie Li really liked this kind of shopping experience, much better than being deceived with sweet words to sell something.

So when faced with Jiang Yuying's question, he squeezed her hand and shook his head, "No, going to the other two dealerships would probably be the same." He turned his head to look at Jiang Yuying, "I saw you quite liked that silver-white one just now, and I think it's not bad. The drawbacks aren't a big issue for us. As long as you think Siyun will like it."

Jiang Yuying thought about the car for a moment, hesitated, and then nodded.

The manager didn't expect a solution to arise from the crisis. Although he didn't know which car the couple had set their eyes on, since they had spoken, he quickly asked the saleswoman to bring over the brochure for that car.

The saleswoman had a good memory and acted quickly. After confirming the car, it was very easy to discuss the remaining details.

Actually, before deciding to buy the car, Xie Li had also asked for the assistant's opinion. After confirming that this car was indeed not bad, he decided to purchase it.

The price may seem expensive for ordinary people, with a car costing over two million yuan (TN: about $275,000 (╥ ω ╥)), something many people wouldn't consider in their lifetime. But for the Xie couple, it was just a drop in the bucket.

With a weight lifted off their minds, Jiang Yuying's smile grew even brighter, and the couple left after finalizing the car purchase.

But Xie Li felt that he hadn't given anything to Jiang Yuying, neither the house nor the car. Xie Li narrowed his eyes, and the next day, he called his assistant to the office.

"My daughter's birthday is coming up."

"???" 

His assistant was a bit puzzled. He didn't quite understand Xie Li's meaning, but what Xie Li said next clarified things for him.

"I'm planning to give her a two percent stake in the Xie Group."

His assistant widened his eyes, thinking he had misheard. "You mean... you're giving Miss Xie a two percent stake?"

Xie Li glanced at him, essentially saying: don't make a big deal out of it.

He nodded. "Yes, you go and handle it. She'll sign on her birthday, and you'll handle the rest."

After a moment of silence, his assistant agreed, "Okay, I understand. I'll take care of it immediately." He was actually quite shocked because... that was a two percent stake in the Xie Group! Not in other industries under Xie Li's name.

It seemed that Xie Li really loved his daughter.

The Xie Group was a family-structured enterprise, with most of the shares held by the Xie family. Among them, Xie Li held 67%, making the Xie Group essentially his dictatorship. In addition to that, Jiang Yuying owned a 10% stake, which was the dowry from the Xie family when they got married.

In addition to that, the 10% was also in the hands of the old man, Xie Li's father, and would eventually be passed on to Xie Li. The rest was scattered among various members of the Xie clan or other shareholders. But no one had a controlling stake exceeding 5%, and many people only had 1 or 2 percent.

Even the heir of the Xie Group, Xie Siqi, didn't have any shares.

So, the decision to give shares showed just how much Xie Li valued and loved Xie Siyun.

After some thought, Xie Li suddenly spoke up, "Regarding transferring ownership, can you handle it discreetly without letting Ying Ying know?"

His assistant's heart skipped a beat, realizing what was finally coming. The fact that Xie Li wanted to transfer the shares held by Jiang Yuying had been on his mind for quite some time, but he had been hesitant. After all, they had been married for many years, and doing something like this seemed too heartless.

In the past few months, Xie Li had seemed like he had turned over a new leaf, even his assistant thought he had started caring about his wife and children. Who would have thought that it was just a smokescreen to numb his wife at home.
