201: Chapter 201: The Bitter Meat Stratagem 201: Chapter 201: The Bitter Meat Stratagem Gangzhe Group.
It was already a mess.
Li Zhe was having a huge meltdown in the office, while Zhao Xinyao stood there, no longer as eloquent as she was a few days ago.
After these days of confrontation with Wang Yan, Zhao Xinyao was completely dumbfounded.
Every move Wang Yan made hit the vital spots.
Moreover, Wang Yan anticipated every move his opponent might make, leaving Zhao Xinyao defenseless and unable to resist.
All she could do was admit defeat, with no other options.
At this point, Zhao Xinyao had no ideas left.
Li Zhe kept cursing, and seeing Zhao Xinyao unresponsive, he grew even angrier.
He shouted, “250 million, damn it, in just a few days, 250 million is gone.
If we lose another 250 million, Gangzhe Group will go bankrupt.
Damn it, no way, before I go bankrupt, I’ll sell you to a brothel.
Even if I go bankrupt, I’ll drain you first.”
Hearing this, Zhao Xinyao became frightened at once.
She knew that the Gangzhe Group was involved in both legal and illegal activities.
If Li Zhe really became ruthless, he might actually sell her to a brothel.
Scared at heart, Zhao Xinyao hurriedly said, “No, President, no, I have an idea.”
Li Zhe shouted angrily, “You better not have an idea.
If you have another idea, I’m afraid another 250 million will be gone.
I’d rather sell you sooner and earn more money each day.”
Zhao Xinyao was so scared that she turned pale with fright and hurriedly said, “President, I really have an idea.
Even if this idea fails, we won’t lose money.”
Li Zhe glared at Zhao Xinyao and said, “Speak!
What’s your idea?”
Zhao Xinyao took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and said, “President, we lost so badly, not only because Wang Yan is cunning, but also because there’s a main reason—their Stabilizing Pill, it really is effective.”
Li Zhe looked at Zhao Xinyao coldly, his face a dark shade, saying nothing.
Zhao Xinyao had to bite the bullet and continue, “If we can obtain the formula for the Stabilizing Pill, we can claim the Stabilizing Pill as our patent.
By then, we will cut off Wang Yan’s ability to produce the Stabilizing Pill and sue him for forging drugs.
Not only will he lose the right to run a company, but he will also be caught and thrown in jail.”
Hearing this, Li Zhe was moved, but he still forced himself to keep a cold expression and said, “Wang Yan will definitely guard this formula very well.
How could you possibly get your hands on it?”
Zhao Xinyao quickly said, “President, to get this formula, I would sacrifice for the company.
I’ll go to Peak Group now, and no matter what, I must get that formula.”
“You go?” Li Zhe glanced at Zhao Xinyao.
Zhao Xinyao smiled, shaking her voluptuous chest, and said, “Wang Yan is young and vigorous; he definitely can’t escape from the grasp of my five fingers.”
…
The next day.
San arrived early at Peak Group.
With excellent sales these days, San no longer needed to stay at the retail store.
He had to oversee the group every day.
Just as San arrived at the entrance of the group, he suddenly noticed someone standing at the door of Peak Group.
Although that person had their back to San, San could tell it was a woman.
The woman leaned against the door, continuously sobbing, and especially those slender shoulders shook with the sobs.
San was stunned, not knowing who would be crying here so early in the morning.
It was at this moment that the person also heard San’s footsteps and turned around.
San immediately recognized that the sobbing person was Zhao Xinyao.
Upon seeing Zhao Xinyao, San’s face turned cold, and he said in a cold voice, “What are you doing here?”
Zhao Xinyao’s eyes were only slightly red at first, but as soon as she saw San, she burst into tears with a “wa” sound.
Her eyes flowed with tears like a flood breaching a dam.
“Brother San!” Zhao Xinyao, while crying, rushed to San’s front and hugged San, crying bitterly.
San was taken aback, not expecting Zhao Xinyao would hug him and cry, especially as Zhao Xinyao hugged him tightly, and the two soft masses on her chest pressed tightly against San, leaving San at a loss.
San was very young and had never experienced this kind of situation.
His hands hung awkwardly by his sides, and he said, “Miss Zhao, um…
um…
could you please stand properly to talk.”
Zhao Xinyao cried for a while before she let go of San, wiping the tears at the corners of her eyes and saying with convulsions, “Brother San, sorry, I came here for no reason, just wanted to say sorry to you.
Now that I’ve said my sorry, the last wish I had in this world is completed.
Okay, now I should go.”
With that said, Zhao Xinyao slowly turned around, ready to leave.
Although the meaning of Zhao Xinyao’s words was vague, San clearly heard the meaning in Zhao Xinyao’s words, especially the words “last wish,” which obviously indicated Zhao Xinyao had the intention of dying.
San hurriedly moved to stand in front of Zhao Xinyao, blocking her with his arms and said, “You aren’t thinking about dying, are you?”
Zhao Xinyao sighed and said, “Ah, since you know, I won’t hide it from you.
I did something wrong to your Peak Group.
Now that I’ve apologized, I have no more regrets.
Don’t stop me, I shouldn’t stay in this world after doing so many wrong things.”
As she spoke, Zhao Xinyao tried to sidestep San.
However, the more Zhao Xinyao said these things, the more San didn’t want to let Zhao Xinyao leave.
San kept blocking Zhao Xinyao, repeatedly asking her the reason for her suicidal intentions.
After listening to Zhao Xinyao’s intermittent narration, San finally understood.
It turned out that the bad ideas targeting Peak Group earlier were all ordered by Li Zhe for Zhao Xinyao to do, and Zhao Xinyao herself was unwilling.
Later, Li Zhe even ordered her to frame Wang Yan, but Zhao Xinyao resolutely refused.
That was why she was driven out of Gangzhe Group by Li Zhe, now drifting on the streets, with nowhere to go.
She was just waiting to apologize to San before ending her life.
Zhao Xinyao was speaking and crying, looking like rain hitting pear blossoms, so fragile and pitiful, yet also strikingly beautiful.
San had already softened his heart, and upon understanding that Zhao Xinyao wasn’t a bad person, he immediately forgave her.
San, after speaking tirelessly, finally persuaded Zhao Xinyao to temporarily give up her suicidal thoughts and follow him into Peak Group.
However, Zhao Xinyao said that after entering Peak Group, she wanted to do some things within her ability for the group as a gesture of atonement.
After spending a day there, she would then go to seek death.
Thus, after entering Peak Group, Zhao Xinyao immediately took up a rag, a mop, and a bucket of water, and began to seriously clean up.
No matter how San persuaded, he couldn’t stop her.
Fortunately, Zhao Xinyao was no longer seeking death, so he had to let her do as she wished.
But just thinking that Zhao Xinyao would seek death after one day, San had no other way to persuade her further, and after thinking it over, he went to Wanghai Noble School to find Wang Yan for help.
Finally, waiting for Wang Yan to finish school, San met Wang Yan and told him all about Zhao Xinyao’s situation in detail.
Upon hearing this, Wang Yan just smiled slightly and said to Beiming Xue, Ouyang Feiting, and Ma Jun, “We were just talking about tricks, and Zhao Xinyao came.
It seems this Zhao Xinyao is using the ploy of self-harm, and it seems I can just borrow Zhao Xinyao to turn the tables with a counter-scheme.”
