Chapter 26: Chapter 26: Qian Ruxue’s Schemes_1
"Who the hell needs it? Just another stinking man! A dime a dozen! If I wanted a man, I could wave my hand and have a bunch of them falling over themselves. Do you think I need your sorry ass?"
Qian Ruxue ranted and raved but refused to get out of the car.
Qin Feng knew that Qian Ruxue would definitely agree to the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) arrangement; however, this woman was quite cunning and was surely aiming to set conditions. Therefore, he cut to the chase, "If you have something to say, say it."
The OEM contract from three years ago was extremely unfair to Blue Sky Pharmaceuticals. If Shencao Ji wants our family to do the OEM work, the contract must be redrawn. There has to be a minimum order quantity set, and even if the product ends up unsold, you’ll still have to pay the OEM based on that minimum."
"A minimum? How much are you thinking?"
"That depends on the unit price of OEM, but the total price can’t be less than five hundred million!" Qian Ruxue was asking for the moon, hoping to turn things around for Blue Sky Pharmaceuticals in one deal.
"Fine!"
Qin Feng agreed immediately, which took Qian Ruxue by surprise, prompting her curious question, "Don’t you need to ask for instructions?"
"No need to ask for instructions. The relaunch of Shencao Ji is entirely my responsibility!"
"Is the contract signed in the name of Haiyun Group?" Qian Ruxue asked, playing her little mind games.
"Haiyun Group is Haiyun Group, Shencao Ji is Shencao Ji. In a few days, Xue Xiaochan will no longer be the president of Haiyun Group; Xue Yuhang will take over her position."
"Why?" Qian Ruxue asked.
"The Xue Family called her back to the Capital to get married, but she doesn’t want to go back. So, the Xue Family not only took back Haiyun Group but also cut off all her resources. They even froze all her bank cards. At this point, choosing to cooperate with Shencao Ji is tantamount to opposing the Xue Family!"
"Telling me all this, aren’t you afraid the cooked duck will fly away?"
"On this occasion, the relaunch of Shencao Ji is a last stand for Xue Xiaochan. The requirements for the quality control of the OEM are extremely high. Even if I didn’t tell you now, in a couple of days, Xue Yuhang will be broadcasting it everywhere. He’ll let everyone know that cooperating with Xue Xiaochan equates to opposing the Xue Family!"
"So you choose to tell me beforehand, just in case I back out at the last minute?"
"I have said my piece. Whether you want to cooperate or not is up to you to decide."
"Before making a decision, I need to ask you a question."
"Go ahead."
"Why are you helping Xue Xiaochan? Aren’t you afraid of offending the Xue Family?"
"Because she’s my woman, and also, I own 50% of the shares in Shencao Ji."
"Your woman?" Qian Ruxue couldn’t help but let out a scornful laugh, disbelievingly saying, "Ha! Your fighting skills are indeed impressive—you beat Chen Youtie. But with that alone, there’s no way you can win Xue Xiaochan over.
She’s a young lady from a distinguished family in the Capital. What kind of expert hasn’t she seen? Any one of the Xue Family’s bodyguards could knock you out cold!
Moreover, she’s to marry Jian Shichao, the eldest grandson of the Jian Family—one of the Capital’s eight great families, with immense wealth and power!
Xue Xiaochan doesn’t object to marrying Jian Shichao; she merely doesn’t want to marry so quickly. Once she’s of age, even if the Xue Family doesn’t push her, she will willingly seek to marry into the Jian Family. So, you might as well give up your delusions now!
Let alone Xue Xiaochan, even I wouldn’t give you a second look. However, if I can see your capabilities in this Shencao Ji project, then I don’t hold to such deep prejudices concerning family status."
"Are you offering me a pie in the sky? Trying to use me?"
"I guarantee the pie Xue Xiaochan is dangling in front of you is one you’ll never get to taste. The pie I’m offering, however, might just be within your reach if you play your cards right. It’s not entirely impossible for you to enjoy it for a lifetime if you perform well.
You have 50% of the shares. Just get 10% more from Xue Xiaochan, bring it to me, and together we’ll control 60%. In the end, wouldn’t Shencao Ji be ours? As for Xue Xiaochan, she’ll eventually marry into the Jian Family anyway; she won’t miss that little bit."
"Do you always put on this kind of act when you discuss business with any man?"
"Even if it’s an act not to be taken seriously, in my whole life I’ve only called you ’husband’, you bastard!"
"I can try to discuss the 10% share with Xue Xiaochan, see what I can do for you. But remember, you are never to call me husband again, especially not in front of Xue Xiaochan—absolutely not!"
"What, you think if you’re called ’husband’ in her presence, Miss Xue will be jealous? I think you’re overthinking it. In her eyes, Miss Xue won’t even regard you as a fart, so don’t get ahead of yourself.
But don’t worry, I’m not that foolish. We’re on the same side, aiming to use Miss Xue to make money. So, don’t even suggest that there’s anything between us. Even if there were, I wouldn’t be careless in front of her."
Qian Ruxue can’t be said to have fallen for Qin Feng; she just found him quite unique and not repulsive. She couldn’t help wanting to play some rather flirtatious jokes with him.
After dropping Qian Ruxue off, Qin Feng returned to 36 Ciyun Street.
The moment he arrived at the front door, he saw Song Sisi directing a group of people as they moved things into the house.
