Bai Yongjun found himself in a difficult position, nervously rubbing his hands and pacing back and forth in front of the desk, unable to make a decision.
Yuan Li glanced at Shen Xi with an air of arrogance, her face filled with smug satisfaction.
"Director Bai, how much has this gentleman invested in Ankang Hospital?" Shen Xi calmly asked Bai Yongjun.
Upon hearing this, Bai Yongjun stopped pacing and glanced at Wei Yuanzhou, "Eighty million."
Shen Xi lowered her head in thought. The sum was indeed not small, but she gritted her teeth, preparing to cover the deficit.
Suddenly, the door was forcefully pushed open, and Qin Siye strode in, followed by Gu Lin and Qin Si Yue.
Qin Siye, why would he be here?
Shen Xi frowned slightly, and Qin Si Yue winked at her mysteriously.
"Mr. Qin, what brings you here?" Bai Yongjun's eyes widened in surprise, realizing something was amiss.
"Mr. Qin." Wei Yuanzhou was also taken aback and quickly stood up to greet Qin Siye.
Qin Siye didn't even spare him a glance. He walked up to Bai Yongjun and said, "I'll cover that eighty million shortfall. What do you think, Director Bai?"
"This..." Bai Yongjun's heart jolted, unsure how to respond.
Although this solved his immediate problem, it meant Qin Siye would be involved in the hospital. His way of doing things would undoubtedly create constraints on Bai Yongjun's future decisions.
At this moment, Shen Xi interjected, "Mr. Qin, you don't need to. I can do it myself."
Everyone present turned their astonished gazes towards her. Eighty million, how could she possibly produce so much money? As a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, where did she get so much wealth? What hidden identity did she possess?
Qin Siye's gaze was deep as he stared at her for a moment, then turned to Bai Yongjun. "Director Bai, firing that person was pressure I applied to you. Now that this has happened, it is only right that I cover this sum."
Bai Yongjun frowned. What was happening? Just moments ago he was worried, and now two people were vying to fill the gap.
Shen Xi, upon hearing this, showed a hint of surprise. So Qin Siye had also interfered in that matter. No wonder things had escalated so severely. It seemed he was avenging his sister.
Wei Yuanzhou, upon hearing this, was completely flustered. He had only used the investment money to threaten Bai Yongjun, not actually intending to withdraw his funds. Ankang Hospital had always operated well, bringing him substantial dividends annually.
"Director Bai, what I said earlier was just in anger. Please don't take it seriously." Wei Yuanzhou took a step forward, his face creased in a smile. His previously arrogant and overbearing demeanor had instantly transformed into obsequious fawning.
Slowly turning around, Qin Siye's gaze was coldly fixed on him. "Mr. Wei, as a businessman, how can you go back on your word? What you say cannot be taken back."
"Mr. Qin, I..." Wei Yuanzhou's heart chilled. He was speechless and looked sideways at Bai Yongjun.
"Mr. Qin, please have a seat."
Bai Yongjun had now recognized the reality. He knew he had only one path forward: to have Wei Yuanzhou withdraw his investment and accept Qin Siye's.
"Director Gu, please escort our guest out. Contact the finance department and have them prepare for Wei Yuanzhou's withdrawal."
Upon hearing this, Wei Yuanzhou knew it was too late for any negotiation. Continuing to confront Qin Siye here would only lead to greater losses.
"Alas!" he sighed deeply, glancing at the panicked Yuan Li, and walked out of the room in frustration.
Yuan Li followed close behind him, calling out, "Uncle, Uncle, don't leave."
"Hmph! Don't come to me with your matters again."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't know she had such a powerful backer. What should I do now?"
"What to do? What to do? How would I know! Just stew in it!"
