“I truly never expected, Mr. Lu, that you would have such an encounter.” Yang Ding Tian smiled and said, “I was rather offensive back then, and I hope Mr. Lu doesn't take it to heart. After all, the interests of both companies are of utmost importance.” Su Dan Novel Network
“Old Master Yang speaks the truth. How can personal grudges compare to company interests?” Lu Fan nodded and said, “Since you've come, how do you intend to cooperate?”
“Your company’s Yangxin Pill is selling explosively. If Yang’s Pharmaceuticals can be the agent, I believe it will yield even better results.” Yang Ding Tian smiled and said, “As for the profits earned from this agency, naturally, it will be a fifty-fifty split. Tai Kang Pharmaceuticals will certainly not be mistreated.”
“Old Master Yang, I think you're not here to do business, but to rob money?” Lu Fan stated directly. “Yangxin Pill is a secret, and its booming platform sales are common knowledge. If Yang’s Pharmaceuticals wants to be the agent, I'm afraid it won’t be that simple.”
“Lu Fan, don't get carried away.” Yang Jia Qi frowned. “It is Tai Kang Pharmaceuticals’ good fortune that my Yang family is willing to be the agent for Yangxin Pill.”
“Does Old Master Yang mean the same?” Lu Fan smiled, crossing his legs.
“Jia Qi, what nonsense are you spouting?” Yang Ding Tian reprimanded loudly. “Apologize to Mr. Lu quickly.”
“Grandpa…” Yang Jia Qi looked embarrassed. In his opinion, Lu Fan was just a country bumpkin. Even as the helmsman of Tai Kang Pharmaceuticals, his opinion had not changed.
“There’s no need to apologize. If the Yang family wants to cooperate, it will be a nine-one split. If you cannot agree, then please leave.” Lu Fan crossed his legs.
“Nine-one split?” Yang Ding Tian frowned. “Is it nine for you and one for me?”
“Do you expect me to give you nine and take one?” Lu Fan’s expression was cold.
Yang Ding Tian’s face turned extremely grim. “A ten percent profit, I'm afraid, won't even cover operating costs. Mr. Lu, are you joking?”
“Do I look like I’m joking?” Lu Fan stated directly. “Your Yang family has always been arrogant. You’ve come to beg me today, and I can’t refuse without losing face. Giving you ten percent is already very generous.”
“Lu Fan, you are going too far!” Yang Jia Qi said coldly. “Do you really want both of us to suffer?”
“With me, there is never a mutual destruction, only the bankruptcy of the Yang family.” Lu Fan slowly stood up. “The moment you broke off our engagement, this was all predetermined.”
“I can’t believe you still remember!” Yang Ding Tian sneered. “Just because of a broken engagement, you intend to target Yang’s Pharmaceuticals?”
“He who humiliates others will be humiliated!” Lu Fan sneered. “I have other matters to attend to, so I won’t accompany you further. Since you’re unwilling to cooperate, I expect that in no time, Yang’s Enterprises will be ruined.”
Watching his retreating figure, Yang Jia Qi slumped back into his chair, his face burning with anger. He had never been spoken to so condescendingly before.
“This is all your doing!” Yang Ding Tian slapped him. “If Yang’s Pharmaceuticals is handed over to you, it will be ruined sooner or later.”
Yang Jia Qi felt very wronged. If he had known Lu Fan was so formidable, he would not have offended him. Unfortunately, it was too late to say anything now.
“Grandpa, what should we do now?” Yang Jia Qi said repeatedly. “If this continues, Yang’s Pharmaceuticals might really go bankrupt soon.”
“What’s the panic?” Yang Ding Tian sneered. “This brat can monopolize Qingzhou, but he lacks sufficient financial backing. Moreover, the Yang family has powerful backers. When the time comes, we can make him pay dearly!”
“Grandpa, are you referring to the Zhao family?” Yang Jia Qi’s eyes gleamed. “Does Grandpa plan to ask the Zhao family to intervene?”
“Unless it’s absolutely necessary, I won’t debase myself. But when the time comes, I have no choice.” Old Master Yang smiled bitterly. “The Zhao family and I have some acquaintance. Asking them to act should not be difficult.”
“This way, we can cut off Tai Kang Pharmaceuticals’ lifeline.” Yang Jia Qi sneered. “The Zhao family’s strength is considerably greater than the Bai family’s. Even if Tai Kang Pharmaceuticals is backed by the Bai family, it’s unlikely to rise.”
“While that may be the case, I fear the true backer of Tai Kang Pharmaceuticals might not be the Bai family.” Yang Ding Tian’s expression was heavy. “I truly regret it. If you had chosen him, your future would have been bright!”
“Grandpa, it’s all in the past, there’s nothing more to say.” Yang Jia Qi said helplessly.
At some point, he had also thought about his situation with Lu Fan. He had indeed been too heartless back then; otherwise, Lu Fan wouldn’t be like this.
After they left, Lu Fan stood in his office, holding a cup of coffee and gazing at the buildings below, appearing somewhat out of place.
“Mr. Lu, they have already left. After this period, Yang’s Pharmaceuticals has suffered significant losses.” Manager Chen smiled. “I expect Yang’s Pharmaceuticals will go bankrupt before long, thus achieving the first step you desired.”
“A starved camel is still bigger than a horse. Yang’s Pharmaceuticals has stood for so many years and must have its merits.” Lu Fan smiled. “We cannot afford to be careless.”
Manager Chen quickly nodded, his eyes filled with flattery.
“By the way, have the arrangements I made been carried out?” Lu Fan asked.
“Mr. Lu, rest assured, the company’s senior management will act according to Mr. Lu’s instructions. Lin Ke will never discover that Mr. Lu is the helmsman of Tai Kang Pharmaceuticals.” Manager Chen nodded hastily.
“That’s good!” Lu Fan nodded. “This matter has been handled well!”
Manager Chen was secretly delighted, while Lu Fan had already left. Watching his departing figure, Manager Chen shook his head. “Mr. Lu is indeed extraordinary. Even his methods of pursuing women are novel. However, it’s understandable that with so many gold-diggers nowadays, Mr. Lu would want to find someone who isn’t after his money.”
In the sales department, many people were working. Lin Ke, not far away, was organizing documents, seemingly making significant progress. “Xiao Qi, there are several major clients tonight. These deals are almost finalized.”
“Got it!” Xiao Qi smiled. “I’ve heard that you truly live up to your reputation as a sales mogul. You’ve only just entered the industry and have already closed several big deals!”
Meanwhile, nearby, Group Leader Zhou was also organizing files. It was almost time to leave work, and after a day of busy activity, he naturally wanted to rest. However, when he saw a familiar figure, his body stiffened, and he quickly went to greet him.
“Mr. Lu, why are you here?” Group Leader Zhou asked, seemingly under considerable pressure.
“Manager Chen should have told you, right!” Lu Fan glanced at him. “Why are you still calling me Mr. Lu?”
“It’s my fault, it’s my fault!” Group Leader Zhou nodded quickly.
“Whatever business you have, you can attend to it first.” Lu Fan said with a wry smile. “There’s no need to be so formal with me. It’s almost time to leave work, just pretend you don’t know me.”
Group Leader Zhou nodded at the side, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
Lu Fan, paying no mind, walked towards the sales team.
Lin Ke, having finished organizing her documents, looked at the figure entering and her face instantly turned awkward. “Brother Lu Fan, why did you come in? I’m on duty right now!”
