Chapter 343 Obstacles
As Liu Mingtian's voice fell, the entire table was immediately filled with enthusiastic applause. The Liu family members were in tears, extremely excited.
"That's right, that's right! As long as we all stick together, our Liu family's business will definitely soar."
"With uncle's help, financing and going public won't be a problem at all."
"Once we're listed, we can expand completely. Then, becoming the number one in the entire Jiang Province, or even the strongest enterprise nationwide, what difficulty would that be?"
"Well said! With uncle back, we finally have a pillar of support. Our Liu family's business can finally take flight!"
Liu Ran sat to the side, watching this scene, she was completely stunned.
She subconsciously rubbed her head, wondering when she had agreed to let Liu Xin and Liu Ran join her company. Let alone letting Liu Xuhui manage her company's finances, how was this possible?
This was clearly a move to take over her company.
Liu Ran frowned, and suddenly she understood. It turned out Liu Xin had kept her here for this very moment.
They were using Liu Mingtian's powerful aura and the matter of the Tong family's slimming tea contract this time to forcefully enter her company and claim Yang Yang Yang Company as their own!
Last time, they used express delivery to pressure her and demand a stake in her company. This time, they were even more direct.
Liu Ran couldn't help but frown. She stood up and said, "Uncle, I think you've misunderstood. As for Yang Yang Yang Company, it's a company I founded myself, and it's not solely mine."
"It also belongs to Su Ya, Liu Xiaomei, and others. Our company never intended for anyone else to manage it. Moreover, it's just a small company, and there aren't that many tasks or complexities. So, thank you for your kind intentions, Uncle."
"It's not necessary for Liu Xin and Liu Xuhui to work in my company; I can't afford to pay them so much salary. My small company is only suitable for me to manage. Please forgive me, Uncle."
Liu Mingtian's eyes narrowed sharply. His aura instantly became powerful. He slammed the table and stood up, looking at Liu Ran and saying, "Liu Ran, you have quite the nerve! Do you think I'm easily bullied or easy to talk to? You've repeatedly contradicted me and rejected my opinions. Do you still consider me your uncle? Your elder?"
Liu Ran felt immense pressure. The air around her seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, making it difficult for her to even breathe.
Just as Liu Ran felt overwhelmed and struggled to breathe, a hand reached out and gently held her small hand.
In an instant, the pressure on Liu Ran vanished, and she felt a sense of relief.
Liu Ran turned her head and found that it was Chen Yang holding her hand. She didn't know why Chen Yang's hand was so warm and magical, making her feel instantly relieved of the pressure.
Liu Ran turned back and looked directly at Liu Mingtian. She said clearly, "Uncle, I have no intention of contradicting you. It's just that your decision just now was too inappropriate. I've already said that my company is a small one and truly cannot accommodate my cousins."
"Also, the company doesn't belong to me alone, so it's not the Liu family's property."
"I also agree that the Liu family can soar under your leadership, and I hope to see the Liu family rise. However, please don't have any designs on my humble live-streaming company."
"It will absolutely not become the Liu family's property. I believe in your talent and ability from when you were young. You can achieve success by having any of the Liu family members do anything, right?"
Liu Ran's words were neither servile nor overbearing. While seemingly praising Liu Mingtian, she directly informed him that her live-streaming company did not belong to the Liu family and would not involve any Liu family members.
Liu Mingtian's face turned ashen. He hadn't expected Liu Ran, at such a young age, to withstand his pressure and resist his aura.
Liu Mingtian let out a cold snort and said, "Then what about the contract you snatched from Liu Xin and Yang Long? How should we settle that? Return the contract to them."
Liu Ran shook her head and said, "The contract was not snatched. In the world of business, nothing is as simple as snatching. It's just that Yang Long and Liu Xin's company was established too recently, and the Tong family made a different choice."
"If contracts could be snatched so easily, then let Liu Xin and Yang Long go to the Tong family again and snatch the contract back. I'm willing to admit defeat if they succeed, how about that?"
With a bang, Liu Mingtian slammed the table again. He pointed at Liu Ran furiously and said, "Good for you, you sharp-tongued girl! You don't care about me at all anymore?"
"Fine, very good. I was planning to help you make your company bigger and stronger. Since you've made up your mind to look down on us Liu family members, and look down on me, wanting to fly solo, then fine."
"I'll tell you directly today, even if you've secured the Tong family's slimming tea contract, it's useless. Because you won't be able to obtain the production license for the slimming tea."
As soon as Liu Mingtian's words fell, a middle-aged man strode in.
The middle-aged man, extremely respectful to Liu Mingtian, laughed and said, "Ah, Lord Liu, congratulations, congratulations! Congratulations on finally being able to return to work in Jiang Province."
Liu Mingtian nodded at the middle-aged man and said, "Brother Zhang, you've arrived at the perfect time. You're from the Qingzhou Bureau of Industry and Commerce Administration. You're in charge of the production license for health supplements, right?"
Zhang Heng nodded and said, "Yes, I am in charge."
A cold smile appeared on Liu Mingtian's lips. He said, "That's good. Brother Zhang, please have a seat. We were just discussing the matter of the Tong family's slimming tea."
"My niece's company has secured the contract for this Tong family slimming tea. She's planning to apply for the production license for this slimming tea as well. However, my niece is too ignorant. She previously snatched our Liu family's contract, and now she claims she doesn't belong to the Liu family, insisting she can soar on her own."
Zhang Heng, listening to Liu Mingtian, instantly understood.
Zhang Heng immediately laughed and said, "Oh, Lord Liu, with you saying that, I suddenly feel that there are indeed problems with the production license for this slimming tea!"
Then, Zhang Heng, with an air of arrogance, glanced at Liu Ran and Chen Yang. He chuckled and said, "This must be Liu Ran, the CEO of Yang Yang Yang Company, right?"
"I've seen the production license application your company submitted before. Originally, there was no problem with the production license. But now, hearing Lord Liu say this, I think it's really not appropriate to grant you the production license for this slimming tea!"
"As a person, one shouldn't be ungrateful. As the responsible person for the production license, I will not grant such an important production license to an ungrateful enterprise like yours!"
