Chapter 42: Chapter 42: Refusing a Face-saving Offer_1
An hour later, Qin Feng dropped Xue Xiaochan off at the company. As they walked into the office, they found Xue Yuhang sitting in the boss’s chair.
Irritated by her place being taken, Xue Xiaochan was angry, "Xue Yuhang, what are you doing here?"
"Oh! The genuine Mr. Xue arrives? I remember, Xiaochan, you used to be a workaholic, never late. It’s almost two in the afternoon, and you’re just getting to the company? Don’t tell me you also believe that Shencao Ji is soon going to go bankrupt, so you’ve lost your passion?"
"Shencao Ji will not go bankrupt! Definitely not! I must use Shencao Ji to acquire Haiyun Group!"
"All you have left now is stubborn pride. I won’t tease you anymore; you won’t be able to maintain that pride for much longer anyway. By this time tomorrow, even if you are still stubborn, you’ll have to admit your failure! I came to give you a heads-up about what I’m going to do today."
"Do whatever you want to do, I’m not interested!"
"The contract manufacturer for Shencao Ji is called Blue Sky Pharmaceuticals, right? I’m planning to acquire it for ten billion! I believe the owner of Blue Sky Pharmaceuticals certainly won’t be able to refuse my offer!"
Xue Xiaochan was shocked and roared, "Xue Yuhang, have you gone mad? Blue Sky Pharmaceuticals isn’t worth ten billion! You better not mess around with Haiyun Group’s money!"
"I am the president of Haiyun Group. I can do whatever I want with it!"
Having achieved his goal, Xue Yuhang left triumphantly.
Xue Xiaochan stood still, stunned.
She hadn’t had much hope that Shencao Ji could recover, but Haiyun Group was her life’s work. Seeing it squandered by Xue Yuhang pained her.
Looking anxiously at Qin Feng, Xue Xiaochan said, "You’re in charge of Blue Sky Pharmaceuticals, and you were the one who signed the contract. Hurry and contact them; you have to stop Xue Yuhang!"
"Will contacting them even work? If Xue Yuhang is smashing ten billion at them, can we really offer eleven billion?"
"So we just sit back and let Xue Yuhang do whatever he wants?"
"Wife, don’t worry, your cousin won’t be able to acquire Blue Sky Pharmaceuticals."
"Why not?"
"Some people can be bought with money, others can’t be bought no matter how much you offer. I was willing to give 10% shares to Qian Ruxue because I saw the quality of her character."
"Isn’t the owner of Blue Sky Pharmaceuticals Qian Fugui? Who is Qian Ruxue?"
"Of course, she’s Qian Fugui’s daughter!"
"Is she pretty?"
"Not as pretty as you."
"I was just asking, no other meaning. Even if you think that Qian Ruxue is pretty, it doesn’t matter. But before you divorce me, you are not allowed to fool around with any other woman! If you actually fall for some woman, you have to tell me first. We’ll get a divorce, and then you can fool around however you like."
"What’s the point of messing around when I haven’t even gotten the certificate, let alone a woman? Can I find anyone prettier than you in this world? Even if there is someone, she wouldn’t bother with me. Only a blind woman like you would drag me to get a marriage certificate."
"You damn thing, one minute your words are sweet! You only speak half the flattering words. Saying your lady is blind? Not only did I go blind, but my brain must have had a short circuit to marry you," she said.
"Since you’re already blind and your brain had a short circuit, why don’t you stay blind a bit longer and let your brain short circuit a little more? We already have the certificate; it’s not that big a deal to consummate the marriage now," he said.
"Stop messing around, this is the office! Tell me, why are you so confident in Qian Ruxue? In the business world, the most unreliable thing is a person’s character."
"How much is Shencao Ji worth now?"
"Not a dime!"
"Blue Sky Pharmaceuticals is worth seven hundred million, though. When I was negotiating with Qian Ruxue, I promised her a guaranteed contract worth five hundred million for OEM production. In the end, she was willing to throw all of Blue Sky Pharmaceuticals’ assets into the deal in exchange for a 10% stake in Shencao Ji.
The assets of Blue Sky Pharmaceuticals, plus a guaranteed contract for OEM production worth five hundred million, is certainly not less than one billion. Qian Ruxue would rather have the shares than the contract. That means she believes the 10% stake in Shencao Ji is worth far more than a billion. Otherwise, she wouldn’t take such a big risk."
"A 10% stake worth far more than a billion? You bastard, you didn’t bamboozle the girl, did you?"
"I can’t bamboozle a woman like Qian Ruxue, who has eight hundred tricks up her sleeve."
"So why did she make this choice?"
"Because she trusts you! You managed to create Haiyun Group in three years, so naturally, you can make Shencao Ji just as splendid in three years!"
...
Meanwhile, an impressive convoy of cars drove into Blue Sky Pharmaceuticals. Leading the way was a Mercedes-Benz, followed by a Land Rover at the rear. Sitting in the two-tone Rolls-Royce with a license plate of five eights in the middle was Xue Yuhang.
Such a grand entrance naturally caught the attention of Qian Ruxue. She hurried out of her office to see which important figure had arrived.
The staff rolled out a red carpet, and about a dozen bodyguards in black suits stood in two rows.
Once everything was ready, Fang Panpan, the beautiful new assistant hired by Xue Yuhang, gently opened the car door.
Dressed to the nines and wearing sunglasses, Xue Yuhang stepped out of the car, puffing on a cigar.
He glanced at Qian Ruxue and, seeing that this woman was quite beautiful and dressed in an OL suit, looking like a professional manager, he condescendingly commanded, "Go call your boss out."
"I am the boss."
"You are the boss? Isn’t Qian Fugui the boss of Blue Sky Pharmaceuticals?"
"He’s my father, and I’m now in charge of Blue Sky Pharmaceuticals. If you have any business, speak directly to me."
Xue Yuhang signaled with his eyes, and Fang Panpan immediately took out a contract and tossed it to Qian Ruxue.
With an arrogant tone that left no room for negotiation, he said, "Haiyun Group is prepared to acquire Blue Sky Pharmaceuticals for ten billion. The contract is already drafted. Don’t waste time, sign it immediately!"
Such arrogance and rudeness made Qian Ruxue feel publicly humiliated.
Fuming with anger, she threw the contract back and rejected it unceremoniously, "Don’t mention a mere ten billion; even if it is a hundred billion, Blue Sky Pharmaceuticals is not for sale!"
Qian Ruxue’s attitude shocked Fang Panpan.
She looked at Qian Ruxue in disbelief and demanded sharply, "What do you think you are? You dare to throw away Haiyun Group’s contract? You dare to disrespect Mr. Second Young Master? A mere Blue Sky Pharmaceuticals acting arrogant with Mr. Second Young Master? You really have no sense of appreciation!"
