They thought they could get Toudou to be slightly honest, but it seems the kid has somewhat recovered his true nature and started marching towards cunning alongside the other two.

The two little ones seemed to sense their father's displeasure. They carefully gauged the situation, knowing they couldn't provoke him further lest things backfire. So, without waiting for the stony-faced host to finish his spiel, they promptly left the podium. Rong Ling then took Lin Meng's hand and walked away.

This was his first time being so pampered and attending such an awards ceremony. He never expected to be schemed against by his own son in this way. This scene will definitely leave a deep impression on him. It is estimated that at the time, he gave a vague answer about having children, saying that he would talk about it after the competition was over. The two little ones then got an idea. It doesn't matter who came up with the idea, these two have always been inseparable, whatever happens, they must share it together!

He took the three children in, face cold and expressionless, leaving the commotion behind. Once they were in the car, Rong Ling gave a direct order.

"After you get back, write me a 1,000-word reflection! And if it's not up to par, you'll know what I'm capable of."

Little Hao lowered his head, acting very obedient and well-behaved so that no one would come to him. Rong Hengduo didn't care much; a thousand-word reflection, just write it. Only Xiao Youyou was unusually excited, eyes wide and smiling brightly. Daddy wasn't angry or scolded them, he just asked them to write a reflection. That meant their behavior was somewhat recognized by their father.

"Daddy, next year I can hold my little sister!" he said cheerfully.

Rong Ling let out a cold snort. "Fine, wait and see! It's January now, and by December next year, you can hold your little sister!"

Could he possibly be this calculating! By December of next year, it'll be almost two years. Let him just slowly stew for two years!

Xiaoyou quickly widened her eyes and hurriedly said, “That’s not how it’s calculated! This year hasn’t passed yet. In over a month, it will be the new year! I’m talking about this year during the Spring Festival, not the new year that has already passed according to the Gregorian calendar!”

"My standard is the past New Year!"

These words from Rong Ling immediately made the little guy angry, and even Xiao Haohuo, who was pretending to be well-behaved, raised his head and looked at Rong Ling in disapproval.

"Little Youyou explained again. "We said, we celebrate the Spring Festival for Chinese New Year, right Only Westerners celebrate the new calendar year! Daddy, you know what I mean! You're deliberately confusing me!"

With a pout, he grabbed Lin Meng's hand with a wronged look. "Mommy, see Daddy is mean! I didn't mean it like that. After the Spring Festival, I can hold my little sister for a whole year!"

Lin Meng didn't speak up. She had seen through her son's intelligence and cunning. In such a grand occasion, he had sold her out and attracted so much attention. She wouldn't help him now. Just wait, soon, there would be plenty of people facing her who would bring this matter up. They were currently going to the Tongzhou Grand Hotel by car to attend the celebration banquet that had been prepared in advance for the three children. Rong Sanbo, Rong Ling's brothers, and others would also arrive shortly.

Xiaoyou saw his mother like this, and several thoughts flashed through his mind. He stopped talking. He figured that both his father and mother were a little angry now, so he wouldn't rush to jump into the fire. Anyway, he had already done it. At that time, his younger sister would definitely be able to hold him. After all, he has a lot of helpers!

When a few people arrived at the private room, Rong Ling and several of his brothers greeted the two younger ones with smiles.

"Boy, you've got your father's spirit!" Shiyu gave Xiao Youyou a thumbs-up and didn't care about how Rong Ling would react to this.

Yu Xu then smirked insincerely.

"Will you get beaten up when you go home"

Xiaoyou immediately felt a tightening in her bottom and gave Yuxu a cold glance. The familiar coldness pierced Yuxu, making him feel uneasy all over. After a dry chuckle, he immediately changed his attitude, becoming very affectionate as he rubbed Xiaoyou's head and turned to Rongling.

"Big brother, the children's hope is so strong, I think you and Mengmeng should just go along with them!"

Little Youyou immediately withdrew the coldness in his eyes. For the sake of Fourth Uncle speaking up for him, he would just let Fourth Uncle touch him!

"Yes, yes!"

These people are very skilled. Although they each had their own things to do and couldn't be there in person, they easily got their hands on the footage from that time. Because everyone was sharing and watching it, they burst out laughing and left their work posts to come here early.

Rong Ling let out a cold rebuke. “Children acting up, and you’re all joining in the fray!”

"It's time to have another one!" However, Shi Yu remained as unassuming as ever, a sly smile playing on his lips. "Yoyo and Haohuo are five years old this year, and will be six next year. It's the perfect age to have a little sister. The children are too far apart in age, and some things just aren't convenient!"

Two little ones immediately lit up with excitement as they stared at Shiyu. Xiaoyou directly, like a loyal dog, said.

"Uncle Two, you said it so well!"

This remark was tantamount to igniting the jealousy of several other uncles. Naturally, they all joined in persuading Rong Ling and Lin Meng one after another. Without exception, these uncles were met with a shower of praise from the little fellow.

Little Haohao wasn't good at speaking, but he expressed himself directly through actions. He personally poured tea for several uncles and sent it to them. The adults were delighted by this and even more enthusiastic in persuading Rong Ling and the others.

"Alright, alright, I've got a plan!" Rong Ling chuckled, looking at his brothers. He teased, "You all act like you want children so badly, then hurry up and find wives and have some! "

Now, several people fell silent.

Seeing them like this, Rong Ling didn't say anything more. His own brothers naturally knew their limits when it came to doing things. This wasn't meant to be. If it was meant to be, these things would naturally happen in due course. As for Xiao Kuang and Ah Zhen, who were already fated to be together, they were constantly working towards having a child. Talking too much about it might only hurt them. So he changed the subject, diverting their attention from this topic.

They understood about the two little ones too, and they knew that their sister would definitely be born, just sooner or later. They couldn't keep bringing it up endlessly, otherwise they would become tiresome. So, instead of saying anything more, they quietly listened to the adults talk about politics and economics.

When everyone had gathered, the celebratory feast began. Rong Ling, being the eldest, stood up first and gave praise and encouragement to the three young ones. Their compliments made the three little ones blush with excitement. Afterward, elder relatives like Rong Sanbo and Jiang Shouchang also offered their words of affirmation.

When it was the turn of the three little ones to say something, Rong Hengduo seized the lead this time. He held up the trophy and walked to Rong Ling and Lin Meng's faces.

“Uncle, Aunt, there are many things I’ve kept bottled up inside. Today, I think I can finally say them. Regarding Mom and Dad, and Grandpa and Grandma, they’ve said a lot in front of me, but I don't believe it. I have eyes to see and ears to hear. I'm not a child anymore. There are some things I can clearly see and understand. What happened with Mom and Dad is their own business, and what happened with Grandpa is a family matter. My hands aren’t long enough to reach that far. And those things are all in the past, dust returns to dust, and earth returns to earth. Whatever needed to go has gone. To my Uncle and Aunt, my heart only feels gratitude. Back then, when I was most alone and helpless, you helped me, agreed to teach me, and let me into your home. To be honest, I clung to you both like a lifeline. After grabbing onto it, I did attract some gossip, but none of it reached my heart. I knew very well what I wanted and exactly what I had grasped. Uncle, Aunt, thank you. Thank you for not rejecting me, thank you for your patience, thank you for your guidance, thank you for your love, thank you for your support, thank you for your indulgence. As I said before, I would win the first place for you. Now, I’ve done it.”

He raised the trophy in his hand, his eyes reddening with tears welling up inside, yet he smiled.

"Please accept this, it's my heartfelt gift!"

Three months of effort has paid off with this trophy. Now, he holds it aloft with sincerity and his heart brimming with joy. This honor, which represents everything he holds dear, is a testament to his unwavering dedication. He hopes that it will bring happiness and satisfaction to the two elders before him!

They are his uncle and aunt, but in their demeanor, they are so mature. Yet, in the eyes of Rong Hengduo, who still carries a youthful heart, they are another kind of parents to him!

He is not good at public speaking, and he doesn't use any touching sentences to move people to tears. All he can do is hold his heart out and show it to others openly. He says whatever is on his mind. In front of these two loved ones, he doesn't need to be insincere, guarded, or calculating. He feels relaxed now, and because he's relaxed, he's straightforward. Because he's relaxed, he doesn't have to worry. All he needs to do is do what he wants to do.

He held the trophy up in front of Lin Meng. After all, she was the most precious treasure in the family. It was only fitting that she received this honor.

“Good child!” Lin Meng didn't hesitate at all, reaching out to take the trophy. Was this child publicly declaring his stance That was thoughtful. He said it without any hesitation, just like he said. It seemed that he had been thinking about it for a long time, perhaps chewing on it countless times in his heart.

"This is your honor, but your little aunt is happy to help you keep it!"

Rong Hengduo blushed and continued smiling, nodding emphatically.

"Come here!" Lin Meng waved again. When Rong Hentuo came closer, she reached out and hugged him tightly, and at the same time, gently kissed his forehead.

"Tuo Tuo, your sister-in-law still says the same thing. We're family, so there's no need to be reserved. Your heart is as big as you can hold."

Rong Hengtuo's mouth immediately stretched into a wide grin. His sister-in-law was a very intelligent person, that he had always known!

After he sat back down, the two little ones naturally wouldn't be outdone and also offered him the trophy with both hands. Lin Meng's heart felt warm and content, just like soaking in hot spring water.

"You guys won the big prize, daddy and mommy can't just let it go. So here's what we'll do, each of you gets a reward. Think about it carefully first, and when you're done, tell me!"

This is Rong Ling speaking on behalf of the family. The reason it's a single reward instead of separate rewards for the husband and wife is to avoid spoiling the children. Valuable gifts should be given one at a time, making them feel hard-earned and therefore more cherished. This is also a way to cultivate the children's character.

Xiaoyou quickly tried to speak, and Lin Mengmeng hurriedly followed up with a sentence.

"Youyou, Haohuo, no asking for rewards! Don't ask your little sister!"

When she spoke, her face was slightly flushed.

Xiaoyou was suddenly blocked and didn't say anything more. She lowered her head with some disappointment. Xiaoh hao also pouted and hung his head.

These two little ones are really thinking about what happened to their little sister, they can't let it go!

The adults chuckled and had a strong feeling that under the two clever boys' endless tricks, Rong Lingjia would really have another child soon.

They were also very accurate in their predictions. That night, after the three children had finished writing and handed in their self-critiques, Lin Meng made a statement. That statement was mainly directed at Youyou and Haohuo because these two boys were the most unruly. If they didn't take this seriously, who knows what trouble they would get into next!

"Mommy and Daddy decided that after the New Year, they were going to have a little sister--"

When Little Lin Meng finished speaking, the two of them cheered.

"Great, great!"

Lin Meng originally wanted to explain why she couldn't have children now, but seeing that the two children were easier to satisfy than she imagined, she decided not to explain.

"That's all you get, don't go too far!" She feigned anger and scolded them softly.

Xiaoyou immediately raised her hand and swore, "Xiaoyou will be very good, very obedient! I definitely won't make trouble again!"

Lin Meng turned her head to look at Xiao Haohuo.

Little Haohao hurried to learn from Little Youyou. "Haohao will patiently wait for the little sister to be born, Mommy, you can rest assured."

"You two promised me, Mommy heard it clear. If you play around, Mommy will make Daddy punish you properly!"

The two little ones immediately remembered the spanking they had received not long ago. They didn't even dare to look at Rong Ling, and hurriedly buried their heads, muttering incessantly.

"You'll be a good boy, for sure you will!"

Lin Meng didn't forget Rong Heng Duo either, saying, "Duo Duo is also a witness oh. If you dare to go back on your word, just wait to be laughed at!"

Little Youyou let out a cold snort. "He doesn't deserve the chance!"

"That's right, that's right!" Little Hao was completely acting like a parrot.

Rong Heng said with a smile, “Let’s wait and see, little sister-in-law. Don’t worry, I’ll keep a close eye on Youyou and Haohuo!”

The two younger ones turned their heads together, giving Rong Hengduo a warning glare. Rong Hengduo, in turn, raised an eyebrow provocatively.

Although the three children's friendship grew during the process of building tanks, competition and antagonism were their usual states.

Lin Meng watched, saying nothing. Children have their own ways of getting along. Sometimes, adult interference is just superfluous.

After a silent stare-down between the three, they all looked away. Xiao Youyou then acted cutely and threw herself into Lin Meng's arms, saying sweetly, "Mommy, you're so good!"

Little Hao also went to his mother’s arms out of jealousy, shoving Little Youyou aside a little and making space for himself. These two children, sometimes they are best friends, like one whole being, but sometimes there is competition between them.

Lin Meng looked at the two of them jostling each other, tugging their little radish heads toward her waist, so she reached out and straightened them both, preventing them from causing any more trouble. At the same time, she explained.

"You have to agree to this, and your father has to give his approval too. Youyou, just say 'Mommy is good', but as for Daddy... be careful not to hurt Daddy's feelings!"

"How could that be, Father wouldn't be sad!"

In a little kid's eyes, their own father is like a steel giant, never seeming to get hurt. The words "fragile" simply couldn't be applied to dad.

"You, you!" Lin Meng gently pinched the little guy's nose. "People have hearts, and they can't help but feel sad. Dad just didn't show it."

"Didn't Father get sad" The little guy looked at Rong Ling, expressing strong suspicion.

Rong Ling's expression remained as cold and unyielding as ever, completely refuting the little fellow's suspicions.

The little boy turned his head to look at Lin Meng, with an expression of "See, I told you so, Daddy wouldn't be heartbroken at all."

Lin Meng shook her head. Her husband, when the sky fell, would still bear it. Indeed, he rarely showed sadness. But she didn't know that his few moments of sorrow were mostly shown to her. And in the future, he would only show his sadness and vulnerability in front of her. Because she was the one he cared about most, and the one closest to him.

Only in front of the closest and most trusted people will someone freely release their emotions without reservation!

Lin Meng thought that the tank incident would end with Yuan Man winning the award. The rest was to keep her promise and wait for the three little ones to request their rewards, but she didn't expect that this tank would still cause a stir. The models the little ones made were unexpectedly favored by several model companies!

Because the contact information left during the competition belonged to Yi, those companies each contacted Yi and expressed their requests. Yi then informed Rongling and Lin Meng about this matter at the first opportunity.

This is going to mass-produce tanks, it's time to start making money, this is incredible!

At that moment, Lin Meng's heart was filled with pride. She couldn't help but have some tears welling up in her eyes. Look at her child, how capable he is! At such a young age, he can already make money, and according to Rong Ling, it's very likely that he's going to make a lot of money! Other people's children at this age are still playing and some are even mischievous, causing their parents to worry every day!

This is a big deal, and it's also the children's matter, so we have to talk to them before negotiating with anyone else. Rong Ling's idea is to leave this entirely to the three children.

"I've taught them for so long, this time, is a good training experience. I think I should let go and let them figure it out themselves!"

It's their own tank model, and it's also their own business. Let them handle it themselves, for better or worse. They bear the responsibility themselves. So, this experience, no matter what the outcome, is a great learning opportunity for the children!

"Alright, I'll do as you say."

Lin Meng thought Rong Ling's idea was good and immediately agreed.

When the children came home that evening, the two elders told them about it. All three children were excited, their eyes shining with excitement and their breathing slightly quickened, yet they remained so strangely silent, showing in this way the composure and reserve of their character!

"There are several companies, so you'll need to choose carefully. However, Father isn't going to interfere. This matter is entirely up to you to handle. What do you think"

That slightly teasing "How is it" seemed like a question, but held a hint of challenge. San Xiao's body stiffened instantly, his chin involuntarily lifting slightly.

"Good!" The three little ones almost said it with pride together.

"Alright, you guys figure out how to handle this. Here are the four companies and their contact information!"

Rongling gave the three people a piece of paper.

Xiao Youyou reached out her hand and took the paper.

Rong Ling waved his hand, signaling the three to go busy. The three youngsters, each holding a piece of paper, excitedly ran upstairs to the small study together.

It's not like a child can manage to remain composed, showing no outward signs of their emotions!

However, for their age, they've done quite well!

Thus, the three of them once again plunged into the busy process of researching data, discussing, and writing plans. As for the way to sell, the three unanimously decided to take a technical stake and then obtain dividends. A one-time sale is like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs; it's meaningless. So what they had to do next was compare these four willing companies: who is stronger and weaker in terms of strength, and who is the most suitable partner Moreover, they couldn't limit their vision to just these four companies. Since someone was eyeing the tank, it meant that it was profitable. Therefore, they could completely look for other better companies to promote their products more effectively.

The three little ones were full of enthusiasm and eager to get started. Even when they were called away for dinner, they ate quickly and rushed back upstairs. It was as if there was a devil chasing them from behind, urging them to hurry. Lin Meng wanted to say something to them, but thinking that this was the first big deal handled by the three youngsters, he kept his advice to himself.

Let's make an exception this time! I'll let these three off the hook.

Late at night, the three of them wrote out a rough draft of the charter and showed it to Rong Ling. But Rong Ling shook his head.

"I'm not getting involved in this!"

The little ones were stunned, momentarily unable to adapt to this feeling of complete indifference. They felt uneasy if they didn't see what Rongling was up to, always sensing that something wasn't quite right.

But Rong Ling's attitude was very clear, he wouldn't interfere at all!

Three little ones held the prepared charter awkwardly, looking at each other. For a moment, the three of them seemed dumbfounded, then again, they were so young and innocent.

Lin Meng couldn't bear it anymore, so she gave a hint. "In business, we usually draft articles of association and find who is most authoritative in this area"

"Be good!" Rong Ling warned coldly.

Lin Meng giggled mischievously, stuck out her tongue playfully, and then stopped talking.

Three small ones, but they suddenly became clear!

You should hire a lawyer for this. Since the articles of association have been drafted, naturally, you would need a lawyer. Lawyers who specialize in this area are naturally very experienced with such technical investment agreements.

"We need a lawyer!" Xiaoyou said, pleading with Rongling. "Daddy, can you help introduce us to a lawyer who is very experienced in this area"

Fang nods, "This I can help with!"

He made a phone call, but instead of calling a lawyer, he called Uncle Zun directly.

"Uncle Zun, please invite Lawyer Su up here!"

So, this lawyer Rongling was prepared for this from the beginning!

The three little guys immediately exclaimed in awe at Rong Ling, their admiration boiling again in their hearts. Their father was really amazing; he had thought of everything. And although their father said he didn't care, he had prepared everything.

"Daddy, you're so awesome!" the little guy said sincerely.

The other two smaller ones also looked up at him with admiration.

Rong Ling only faintly hooked the corner of her mouth.

"The lawyer from Su is very experienced in this area, you can consult him in detail later."

All the little ones nodded their heads.

When Lawyer Su arrived, Rong Ling introduced him. Lawyer Su, in his forties, had a shrewd look. Seeing that his client this time were three young children, he was inwardly surprised. However, thinking of the relationship between these three children and Rong Ling, he quickly suppressed this surprise.

...are not ordinary children, they cannot be judged by common sense!

"Then you talk!"

"Yes, Mr. Su," the lawyer replied respectfully. As a member of the large legal team under the Double Wood Group, he wasn't at all unhappy to be called out to work so late; instead, he felt honored. After all, he served the big boss. Now it seemed there was also a young boss!

Rong Ling took Lin Meng out, handing over this small study to the three little ones and Lawyer Su completely. This further confirmed what he had said before: he didn't care about this matter.

As she left the study, the door swung shut behind her. Lin Meng lightly tugged on Rong Ling's arm and pointed towards inside the study.

"No problem, right"

"It's fine, Lawyer Su is one of us. The problem is whether those three small fry can get to the point and actually handle this."

Lin Meng smiled and pulled Rong Ling, walking out while softly saying.

Still a child, don't expect too much.

Rong Ling hummed in response.

Lin Meng stopped again after walking for a while, her eyes shining brightly as she looked at Rong Ling. Her voice was filled with a dreamy sigh.

"Rónglíng, I suddenly feel that our children are so amazing!"

In her eyes, there was a galaxy hidden. To gaze into them would be to be captivated by their serene beauty. Rong Ling stopped in his tracks, gazing at her intently. She remained unafraid, continuing to speak with a dreamy expression as always.

"When I was this small, what did I do I feel like I didn't do much. Just played in the dirt, and I think I also played hopscotch with others, jumped rope, and played cards. When I had nothing to do, I just daydreamed. I didn't even seem to earn a penny!"

Rong Ling then started to laugh. He seemed to see a little Lin Meng, with two small braids, foolishly following behind others. When others played, she would timidly squeeze in and join them. He also seemed to see her, alone and forlorn, sitting on the muddy ground, playing with lumps of mud without getting tired. And when no one was around, she would crouch down with her head buried, silently staring into space.

When she was young, she had both happiness and unhappiness. With such an awkward identity, it's impossible to expect her to earn money, let alone get some pocket money.

He then gently withdrew his hand from hers.

On her face, he saw no trace of sorrow, only the peacefulness of her current life, bringing her happiness and contentment.

This is great!

All the past sadness, hardships and sufferings, let them just go. From now on, there's him!

"What about you" she asked curiously.

He squinted, recalling. Memories from his childhood were distant, all he could recall were vague fragments. Back then, the house was small, but he felt an emptiness within it. His mother went out to do business, leaving him alone in that tiny space. So, he wouldn't stay inside, always preferring to play outside, running wild and getting into fights! Making money He had tried, but nothing worth mentioning. It seemed like collecting scrap metal and taking it to the junkyard to sell, then using the money to buy snacks.

"It seems like he was just having fun, and then he did a lot of things that made the adults shake their heads."

Past memories, though tinged with gray, brought a smile to his face.

"What impressed me the most was that at the time, I didn't know how, foolishly, along with my friends, we removed all the bike valve extensions in half of the parking lot. Then, carefree, we hid aside and watched the workers coming off work jump up and down in anger as they tried to inflate their bikes. Finally, they dejectedly pushed their bikes home. At that time, we laughed especially happily."

"Haha..." Lin Meng burst out laughing. Her mother-in-law had mentioned that Rong Ling was actually quite mischievous when he was young, and you wouldn't believe it now to see how cold he is. Her mother-in-law mentioned a few things Rong Ling did as a child, it sounded like he was really playful and liked to stir up trouble. But hearing it come from Rong Ling himself today felt completely different.

"I'm particularly interested in your past!" she winked at him.

He immediately feigned nonchalance and said, "That's all there is to it!"

It's probably best not to let her know things that are memorable, or mostly "bad things" .

He quickly changed the subject. "Times are different! Children today can do so well because they have a better environment. We were naive back then, we basically just played because the environment didn't allow for anything else!"

"Well, that's true! But they are so capable, you must take credit for it. After all, other children aren't necessarily as talented."

"You got it too!"

Her proud little expression made his heart itch. He couldn't help but reach out and pinch her soft face.

She realized it first and let out a startled giggle, pushing him away before running out. Seeing him chasing after her, she ran even faster. He wasn't in a hurry, stalking her like a cat playing with a mouse. But as she dashed into the bedroom to close the door, he sprang like a wolf attacking a sheep, pouncing on her and catching her. He then pinched her cheeks hard.

"You little brat, still trying to lock the door See where you run off to now!"

"It hurts! Ow, it hurts!" She pouted coquettishly in his arms, twisting around playfully. After a while, the physical friction of their bodies brought about a certain chemical change.

"Let's try a different way!" He suddenly lowered his voice, pushing her against the door with a force that made her gasp.

The implication of lust became immediately obvious!

Her heart skipped a beat. Then, she saw him lower his head and gently kiss the spot where he had just pinched her.

"Then, does it still hurt"

That scorching gaze could burn a person to ashes. This man was definitely on purpose. That raspy voice, those deep eyes, knowing all too well, were making her somewhat unable to resist.

He kissed her again, smiling and asking, "Does it hurt anymore"

The warm breath hit her face, teasingly.

Her heart skipped a beat, and her narrow eyes flashed with a bewitching gleam.

"It still hurts."

Her flaming red lips were curled up, as if waiting to be picked. Her eyes, dark and shiny, almost like they could overflow with water, told a story of unspoken love and shy desire. She laughed silently, like a siren. Her features flushed lightly with shyness, yet her bright eyes betrayed both provocation and a playful retort to his teasing!

This is like pouring gasoline on a fire, instantly igniting his heart with passion.

This little woman, she's getting cuter and more alluring by the day!

Thinking this, he didn't hesitate to lower his head and captured her lips, which were as sweet as flowers!

As she wished!

After a passionate and lingering kiss, the two of them had unconsciously climbed into bed. Because Mr. Su was present, they both held back and didn't go any further.

“I wonder how they discussed it” she murmured, her small face leaning against his leg, her eyes closed except for a thin slit of a smile. From Rong Ling’s perspective, looking down, he could see the long and alluring lines, as well as the long, dark eyelashes. With her eyes closed like this, the long black eyelashes were slightly curled, extremely alluring.

He reached out with his hand, using his index finger and thumb to lightly brush across her cheek. The touch sent a tingling sensation, stirring something within him.

They probably had never dealt with a lawyer so formally before, so they would have many questions. It's unlikely that Lawyer Su could get away in the short term.

When Lin Meng thought of that scene, she couldn't help but laugh with excitement.

"They are quite eager to learn. Whenever they encounter something they don't know, they seem to have this crazy urge to absorb all the other person's knowledge. I wonder if Lawyer Su will be overwhelmed by these three little ones."

Rong Ling chuckled softly and said affirmatively, "I reckon there will be a bit."

However, even though Lawyer Su was probably overwhelmed, she wouldn't show it. After finishing her discussions with the three kids, Xiaoyou called Rong Ling and Lin Meng back. When she did, Lawyer Su showered the three children with praise.

"In a few years, these three children will be all grown up. I'm afraid I won't have the strength to stand before them by then!"

That's an overstatement. If Su lawyer didn't have real skills, they wouldn't be able to join the Shuangmu law firm.

"In a few years, Lawyer Su will become Mr. Su the great lawyer, and the children will rely on you even more!"

Upon hearing such praise, Lawyer Su was utterly taken aback and immediately replied.

"Whatever you need, just call me if anything happens!"

He couldn't help but blush. Because Rong Ling's words implied his approval. Saying that the children should rely on him, it further indicated his future status within the entire legal team. This was a recognition of him, and he absolutely couldn't disappoint these expectations!

Thinking this, Lawyer Su immediately restrained her outward emotions and looked at Rong Ling with increased respect. She rationally and concisely summarized the results of the negotiation.

If he wants to become a legal expert like Su Da, there's still a lot he needs to do. The big boss in front of him has hinted at his intention to nurture him. As a smart person, he should seize the opportunity while also putting in the effort to do his work better.

Rong Ling nodded and, together with her family, sent Lawyer Su downstairs. She personally watched him leave. People gave up their rest time late at night to help you solve problems, this is the most basic respect, but it is what the aloof Rong Ling would give.

"Daddy, here's the draft agreement we came up with. Take a look!"

"Just saying 'look,' but not offering to help or give any suggestions, shows that the little one really understands that this time, it's their own problem to deal with."

Xiaoyou handed the printed agreement to Rongling. Rongling stood and quickly glanced at it, but without saying a word, returned the agreement to Xiaoyou.

Three little faces beamed with joy. Their silence meant that, basically, their performance was still acceptable. The three then shared their plans, Rong Ling remained silent as ever, merely nodding in response. But the three little ones were comforted by this.

According to their plan, they were going to invite representatives from the four companies separately for talks, ranking them in order of preference. However, on the second day morning, the representative from the American branch of one of the three most favored companies arrived unannounced and requested a meeting to discuss tank production. It was evident that he was very sincere. Furthermore, it was clear that this company was highly capable; they had likely heard about their competitors and decided to make an early move. After all, according to the plans of these three small firms, they intended to place negotiations with him at the end.

The other party called to say they wanted to reschedule the negotiation for the morning. Lin Meng expressed her refusal. She explained that all three of her children were in school. The other party was very surprised because they thought they would be facing the children's parents, namely the well-known figures in the industry, Lin Meng and Rong Ling.

Lin Meng emphasized again. "That's right, you heard me correctly. The children will handle this entirely on their own."

The other party was speechless. To talk to children! Two five-year-olds and an eight-year-old, how could he possibly talk to them! He thought it was ridiculous!

Lin Meng said that she would meet as scheduled in the evening, then hung up the phone and slightly frowned. Looking at the other party's attitude just now, she seemed to have overlooked something, which was that those who came to her door might have ulterior motives. After all, whether it was her or her own man, their reputation was widely known, and ordinary people would go to great lengths just to meet him and talk to him. If that were the case, she was worried that the children would be wronged. So, she immediately called Rong Ling and told him about her worries.

"It's fine, these are all things they will experience. Believe that the children will make the right choices. If there are those with ulterior motives, then we can only say they lack foresight, and let them be."

He did trust a few small things. This sense of security infected Lin Meng. She really was concerned, but it just made everything chaotic.

Later, as she had feared, things turned out badly. At the two meetings in the afternoon, the representatives looked like three kids and showed varying degrees of disappointment. One seemed to look down on them, speaking with a lot of dismissiveness and evasiveness; another subtly tried to find out about Rong Ling and Lin Meng, his intention to befriend the couple being quite obvious. The three kids didn't seem bothered at all, calmly presenting their prepared conditions. One strongly rejected them, calling them childish nonsense; the other took advantage of their youth, saying that children couldn't make decisions and should have their elders come to negotiate instead.

Well, it can be confirmed now that these two are definitely out.

When it came to the two sessions in the evening, the representatives who came up first also performed similarly to the two in the morning. However, when three smaller figures clearly and concisely negotiated with him, that person began to take things seriously. Nonetheless, he firmly rejected the request from the three smaller figures for technical investment. According to his plan, he intended to buy it outright. He could pay the three smaller figures a large sum of money upfront, and after that, he would have nothing further to do with them regarding this tank.

This time, there was still no agreement. However, the other party's attitude was acceptable. They advised the three little ones to go back and think it over carefully, and also discuss with their elders at home. The three little ones nodded in response and, in turn, advised the other party to consider it carefully. That was the end of it.

Then came the final round, with the American company’s representative in China, also the person who three people had the highest hopes for.

This person called this morning requesting to meet as soon as possible. The three youngsters heard about it from Lin Meng. They originally thought that since they had explained it so clearly, the other party would treat them with contempt, just like the previous three representatives. After all, this company is the largest and most famous of the four, and in general, its attitude would be the most dismissive. However, unexpectedly, this person turned out to be the most respectful representative among the four.

He didn't look down on the three children, but instead came in and politely introduced himself before engaging them in a serious conversation. He also brought up the idea of buying out their company. When the three kids shook their heads, indicating they wanted to participate through technical shares, he was somewhat surprised, but not at all shocked. It seemed like he had guessed this outcome.

"Excuse me for asking, but this time, did you have full authority to make all the decisions"

"That's right!" the three of them stood up and said.

Alright, then the representative knows what's going on.

Immediately, he displayed the smoothness and sharpness expected of a negotiator. He began to fight for his maximum benefit around the crucial issue of "technical investment." Every word, every phrase, was a linguistic trap, both sharp and difficult to guard against.

Unscrupulous merchant!

Three little hearts simultaneously thought of this word!

However, it's precisely because the other party is a cunning merchant that it's challenging and fun.

If this representative thought that the three little ones were just children, then he was greatly mistaken. Soon, he would know that the three little devils before him were incredibly difficult to deal with. He and the three little ones engaged in a fierce verbal battle, each trying to outsmart the other. It seemed like the three little ones had gotten under his skin, and fueled by their provocation, this man grew increasingly excited with every word he spoke. In the end, though his face was flushed with anger, his eyes sparkled with newfound clarity.

“25%, not one percent less, that’s our bottom line!” Rong Hentuo said with a cold face. “Our design is outstanding, discerning people will not let it pass, besides the four companies, including you, who have already approached us, we also have this intention to release our design externally. We are very confident in this design. And we see that you are very sincere. If we can reach an agreement with you, we don’t want to look for another company because, your performance is still to our liking.”

This back-and-forth, hitting with a stick and then offering a sweet date, made the other party both receptive and vigilant. However, business is like war, and the other party didn't treat the three people in front of them as children. They quickly retaliated.

"You need to know, for products with very high technical content, the equity stake given for technology is only around 30%. Your tanks are just models. The technical content isn't very high and they can be easily copied. 25% That's too high."

"That's not necessarily true." Xiaoyou replied coldly and sharply, "Our tanks are already under patent protection. If we put them into production, they will be protected. Generally speaking, no one has the guts to imitate them. At most, they can only make something that looks very similar. But this thing, fake is fake. No matter how realistic you make it, it won't be as good as the real thing. Just like brand-name goods, there are a lot of high imitations, but if people have the means, they will definitely buy the genuine article. This tank can be like a big brand, directly taking the high-end route and differentiating itself from ordinary tanks. I believe that military enthusiasts and those who have the means will definitely buy it. If we position this as a high-end product, then the price can be increased, and the profit margin won't be small. 25% is not asking for too much!"

“And we have this too!” Xiao Haohuo chimed in, pointing to his head. “This isn’t a one-off deal. This tank isn’t finalized either. We will continuously make improvements based on production needs and everyone's preferences. Twenty-five percent of what you’re buying is not just the technology of this single tank, but also the potential technological prowess we might unleash in the future. Honestly, you’re making a profit!”

Xiaohuo's eyes held a deep meaning.

Rong Heng and Xiao Youyou chimed in with, “We made a fortune!”

The other party fell silent all of a sudden. Those three kids, they were too eloquent and it was clear they had come prepared. They took turns speaking, almost bombarding him relentlessly, truly knocking him down. Especially the last thing they said, "buying our future potential in technology," really touched his heart. At that moment, he could clearly feel his heart racing.

Three of them looked as if they had made a lot of money, radiating absolute confidence in themselves. This kind of charisma is irresistible, and it makes you want to believe that these three really have the ability to do it.

He felt that he was already on the weaker side. And Xiaoyou's words completely defeated him.

"I believe you should have investigated us. With our family background, we're not short on money. Twenty-five percent is a fair price. The reason we don't budge or lower the price is because this amount is the least respect we show ourselves. If we lower it further, it would be disrespectful to ourselves and belittle our efforts. We are not people who are blinded by money, but we do hope that our labor will be respected. This is particularly important!"ove.Three people went to the small study, and after they all sat down, Ruan Chengyang first asked Lin Meng where she was living now, and how the two little ones were doing.Lin Meng replied, telling a...
