Chapter 0562: Red Ribbon

The atmosphere in the meeting room was somewhat heavy, and no one would believe that the two people sitting across the table were a soon-to-be-married couple. Both sides were locked in a stalemate.
"How about this? Eighty-eight billion, you first pay eighteen billion. Until the divorce is finalized, you can exercise my ownership rights in Youzu Group. What do you think?" Luo Tingting spoke first.
“As I said before, within three years, if we divorce, the dowry is not counted, and the issue of Yoozoo shares has already been determined on that day, which you have no objections to. Since we are talking about divorce, let's clarify something first. There is only one matrimonial home, and we must live together during the marriage.” Lu You flipped through the document and said, “Also, if either party has an affair, they will leave with nothing.”
Today's marriage agreement is designed for divorce. Everyone is focused on each other's wealth, trying to swallow the other whole, with many harsh provisions.
Both parties hope to completely push each other out within three years through this written agreement. It's almost 11 am, and this is a wedding without parents and banquets. There are only executives from both companies and a bunch of journalists.
"How about this, I will say a few small detailed clauses, and both of you can compromise a little. It's time to wrap it up, arguing further won't make much sense. Both parties have no objections to the current terms, right?" the lawyer asked the two.
"No!" they both said in unison.
Luyou glanced at the time and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, I will concede!"
At twelve o'clock noon, the emcee stood on the stage with a joyful expression and shouted, "Today is a special day, where we will witness the union of a happy couple, stepping into the sacred bond of marriage and embarking on a brand new life. Now, let us invite the groom, Mr. Luyou, to shine and grace us with his presence."
The door opened and Lu You walked in with a solemn face and swift steps.
"Looking at the groom's face, filled with joy, filled with happiness, filled with...," the emcee couldn't continue, as Lu You had no joy on his face, having conceded several clauses in the agreement in one go, leaving him furious.
"Cough, then next, let's cheer and welcome today's leading actress, the beautiful, charming, and elegant bride!"
"Alright, alright, why are you shouting so loudly?" Lu You looked at the MC who was all hyped up as if he was getting married, and said, "That's enough."
Ruo Tingting took the stage, and the crowd below clapped wildly. Today is definitely a historic moment.
"Look! Such a happy couple, such a perfect match!"
Luyou glanced at the time and realized he still had things to do in the afternoon. He reached out and patted the shoulder of the emcee buddy, saying, "Let's tone down the hype and stick to the plot."
"Okay, okay, okay!" The emcee looked embarrassed, as this was the most awkward wedding he had ever hosted. He said, "Next, please let the groom put the ring on the bride's finger."
"Let's skip that too."
"Um... well... the groom kisses the bride!"
"Skip it!"
"Skip the whole damn thing, what's the point of hosting, huh? The emcee doubted his purpose for coming this time and looked at Lu You, whispering, 'Bro, what should we do next?'"
"Give me the microphone!" Lu You took the microphone and cleared his voice. He said, "Today is definitely a big day for the You Clan Group. Of course, for some members of the board of directors, they may not be so happy. I'm happy to see peace in the world. In the next three years, I will have the voting rights of the You Clan Group held by the Emperor Finance Company. Some people are still thinking about holding a board meeting, well, go ahead."
罗婷婷拿过话筒道：“感谢大家的到访，我很高兴在这宣布，游族金融和英皇金融达成战略性合作，未来会在理财、支付、中小企业贷款、孵化等方面达成全面合作。”
“接下来有请律师宣布婚前协议总条款，进行公证！”
一石激起千层浪，这一场赤裸裸的商业联姻在人们的冲击不亚于海啸，各大媒体纷纷撰写文章抨击陆游，爱情应该是纯洁的，而不是沾惹上商业气息，更不是一种商业合作。
The news of Lu You's marriage exploded on the global internet, and the youngest billionaire couple in history was born. However, how long they can last remains to be seen.
From the agreement of both parties, the outcome could be revealed in a maximum of three years, and Jiang Siya and Shen Qian were once again remembered by people.
Many companies in the business world are privately discussing, some are excited, and some feel sad.
"I have read the general outline of that agreement, which is very harsh. I really don't know who will win or lose in the next three years. Don't be deceived by the current glory, it won't last long."
"Three more years? At most one year, maybe six months, and they will be finished. You'll see, starting tonight, they will torture each other, and whoever can't stand it first will have to leave."
"Lu You also had no choice, but this time was a last resort. If it goes well, Youzu Financial will swallow up Emperor Financial. If not, then it's all over. "
"If it were me, I couldn't make this decision. I would just leave if things went bad. The shares would still be mine, why take such a big risk!"
"So you're not Lu You, go see the development of Youzu Group, which time didn't involve gambling? I bet Luo Tingting can't beat him."
"No one has won in this matter so far, the ones who have lost the most are Jiang Siya and Shen Qian."
"They used to compete against each other, but now they are completely finished. From a business perspective, we can draw a conclusion that it's not your opponents who will ultimately bring you down, but external forces. Luo Tingting is one such external force."
Everyone also couldn't come up with anything after discussing for a while. Some people sighed, some people envied, and some people even thought, since things have come to this point, it would be great if they can turn their pretense into reality and firmly hold onto the position of the richest.
Unfortunately, it's all wishful thinking. The two have become irreconcilable, and furthermore, Luo Tingting has always believed that Luo Youhua should bear at least one-third of the responsibility for Luo Youhua's death.
As night falls, Jiang Siya sits downstairs with red eyes. The news of Luo Youhua's marriage hits her phone like waves. She doesn't want to look at it, and even less wants to listen, but people around her are talking about it.
Jiang's mother looked at her daughter like this, feeling heartbroken, standing behind her without daring to speak.
"Mom, I'm fine, you can go back, I'll sit here for a while."
"Daughter, actually in this lifetime, we will encounter many people. Some people just pass by, you don't understand their stories. Some people have connections with you, and you understand their world. Being trapped in one person's world is torture to yourself. The greatest wisdom in life is to learn to let go."
Jiang Siya covered her head with her hands and burst into tears, choking, "I can't let go. I feel like someone is constantly stabbing my heart with a knife. Over the years, I have imagined countless possibilities, our future tightly bound together. I've thought about getting married, having children, arguing, growing old together, but I never thought it would be like this. He has grown into my soul, and at this moment, I feel like I've been split into two by someone, alive and tearing apart!"
Love is a deadly weapon, incredibly sharp!
Under the pyramid, Shen Qian looked up at the towering top of the tower. She had planned to open this route next, but she didn't expect to arrive first. The tour guide beside her is still explaining.
"I heard from the locals that this tree has been here for over a thousand years, and it is called the Tree of Love. Are there any unmarried girls here? Take this red ribbon, write the name of the person you like on it, tie a knot, and hang it on the tree. It costs ten dollars!"
She is well versed in the tricks of the trade in the tourism industry. She once joked with the company's senior executives about these love trees, calling them deceiving and charging a ridiculous price of ten yuan for a red cloth strip. Only a fool would fall for that.

But at this moment, she didn't hesitate to take out the money, perhaps she already understood what those fools were yearning for, holding a pen in her hand, unable to continue writing.
It wasn't until the tour group was about to leave the scenic spot that she silently wrote down the name of Lu You, and then wrote down her own name, tied them into a knot, and hung them on the tree.

As the bus drove away, Shen Qian saw the strong wind howling, and the red cloth strip on the tree was dancing in the wind. Her own strip was blown away by the wind.
"My red ribbon!!!" She anxiously leaned against the glass and watched.
"Oh, that's just a fraudulent thing, almost done."
"Yeah, the next attraction even has a tree for you to tie up."
"Girls nowadays, the prettier they are, the less brain they have, they believe anything."
Listening to the buzzing sound in her ears, she sat there feeling somewhat lost. Once a powerful figure in the business world, she now appeared foolish. Those deceitful travel tricks were all her own creation, but at this moment, they shattered her heart.
As night fell, the sea water in the villa continued to crash, but tonight it had a different audience. Sitting there stupefied, Lu You somewhat heard about the whereabouts of the two individuals, but was afraid to hear the more detailed account.
Luo Tingting is still working, her phone keeps ringing. Yoozoo Finance and Emperor Entertainment Finance are expected to establish a funding channel within a month. Lu You's phone rang.
My mother called, it's a wedding, but there is not a single family member present. This is definitely the most absurd aspect of this wedding.
"Hello, Mom!"
"Son, are you coming back for the New Year this year? Bring Tingting with you."
"I'm not going back. Don't worry too much about it, Mom. I will take care of my own matters as soon as possible. These things I've told you, you don't really understand."

"Mom supports you, that's it."
After nagging for a while, Luo Tingting hung up the phone and walked out to look at the sea, saying, "I'm going to rest first, who's in there?"
"You sleep upstairs, I'll sleep downstairs!"

"We agreed that you can't sneak upstairs tonight."
"Put your mind at ease."
Without saying much, she stepped upstairs. This was the time to start tormenting each other. On one hand, Luo Tingting managed her team through phone calls, keeping them by her side. At the same time, she rapidly contacted the senior management of Youzu Group.
Especially those around Lu You, spend a lot of money to establish and maintain good relationships, ensuring that he is within their line of sight. As long as there is any violation of the agreement, everything will be easy to handle.
Luyou is not a fool either, and it seems like both sides have installed human-shaped cameras for each other. As they start to manage the company again, Luyou feels like there are more and more women around him in a matter of months.
All sorts of people seem to have a purpose in approaching him, especially during one drunken night when he was embraced by a D-list female celebrity, with his secretary discreetly taking out a camera ready to take photos, but he promptly noticed and deleted all the content.
On the 30th day of the lunar year, the villa seemed a bit deserted. The couple had been married for four months, and they hardly had any conversations other than their intense work.
The fireworks outside were so dazzling, and it was really cold out there. However, Lu You still sat on the balcony wearing a winter coat.
"Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?" Rotingting's voice was as cold as the winter.
"Where is the evidence? If you have evidence, get lost immediately!"
"There will be evidence!"
Lü You sneered and said, "Keep holding it in, let's see who can hold on longer!"
