Chen Yang burst into laughter and couldn't help but tease, "President Zheng, may I know what your requirements are?"

"What are you thinking? Don't you already know?" Zheng Xiaoman said unkindly. "I used to think you were a pretty decent man, but I never expected you to be a bird of a feather with Wang Han."

"So you're saying I have designs on you?"

Zheng Xiaoman glared. "You can give up on that right now. I'm never going to agree!"

"Don't flatter yourself, President Zheng!" Chen Yang patted Zheng Xiaoman on the shoulder and strode away.

Zheng Xiaoman: "..."

Watching Chen Yang's retreating figure, she stood there, dumbfounded.

What does that guy mean? Don't flatter yourself? Does he mean I'm just full of myself and reading too much into it?

"Hmph..."

At this thought, Zheng Xiaoman suddenly let out a laugh. "Damn jerk, who do you think you are? I'm not interested in you! Telling others not to think too highly of themselves, why don't you take a good look at yourself?"

Zheng Xiaoman pursed her lips, unable to contain her anger.

After all, she had the looks and the figure, with legions of admirers chasing after her. When had she ever been treated with such disdain?

Jerk!

Go to hell!

Feeling deeply insulted, Zheng Xiaoman cursed him endlessly in her heart until he had completely disappeared from sight. Only then did she finally calm down and shake her head with a smile. This guy... he is indeed a bit different from other men. Somewhat interesting!

Now that the matter was resolved, a multitude of tasks awaited her at the company, so she didn't linger and headed straight for the office.

「Meanwhile.」

At a private hospital belonging to the Tianhe Pharmaceutical Group, Wang Han, battered and in a sorry state, finally resembled a human being after being cleaned and bandaged up.

"Dad, we can't just let this go!" Wang Han said through clenched teeth, his chest wrapped in gauze and one leg in a cast. "Dad, can you really swallow this humiliation?"

Wang Bo sat nearby. He lit a cigarette and passed it to Wang Han before lighting another for himself. Only then did he speak grimly, "Don't worry. No matter who he is, he'll be gone from this world soon enough."

Wang Han was stunned at first, then exclaimed excitedly, "Dad, you already have a plan?"

"What plan could I have?" Wang Bo said, his gaze somber. He had been truly frightened and had lost all face today. Seeking revenge with his own power was almost impossible.

However...

Wang Bo exhaled a puff of smoke and sneered, "There's an old saying: 'A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure makes him guilty.' That cancer treatment formula is like a priceless jade. Without the strength to match, how can one hope to protect it?"

"Dad, what do you mean?" Wang Han furrowed his brows, still confused.

Wang Bo continued, "That cancer drug can completely cure cancer! Do you realize how much of an impact this will have on the market? The only word for it is 'devastating'! So, do you think those pharmaceutical giants will let him begin production smoothly?"

"As far as I know, three international pharmaceutical giants have already shown their intent to seize it! The power those people wield is beyond even my imagination.

"Yes, this Chen Yang has some ability, but what is he compared to those international pharmaceutical giants? It's no exaggeration to say they could grind him to dust with a single finger!

"Moreover," Wang Bo's smile grew wider as he bared his teeth, "considering the Martial Association's standing in the pharmaceutical field, they probably won't just sit by and watch, will they?

"On one side, you have international pharmaceutical giants; on the other, the Martial Association. Tell me, what does he have to resist them?"

Wang Han laughed, a cruel, vicious laugh, the corners of his mouth curling up. "So, you're saying this bastard is going to be torn to pieces by these two powerful forces?"

"HAHAHA!!"

"I can hardly wait!"

The father and son exchanged a glance, then threw their heads back and laughed uproariously.

「Qin Corporation.」

After receiving the news that Huarui Group would begin its supply deliveries tomorrow, the gloom in everyone's hearts vanished, replaced by bright smiles.

During this period, Qin Corporation had faced numerous disasters, but each time they had managed to pull through safely.

Perhaps fortune truly favored the Qin Family and blessed the Qin Corporation.

In the sales department, everyone was cheering Chen Yang's name. They knew it must have been the son-in-law who went to Huarui Group and resolved the issue.

"What did I tell you? Our Mr. Chen is blessed by the heavens. There's nothing he can't handle!" Hou Qiang declared, one foot on a chair and his head held high, basking in the reflected glory.

The others readily agreed, showering Chen Yang with lavish praise.

Standing in her office before the venetian blinds with a cup of tea, Zhou Yufei's lips curled into a faint smile. This guy... he really is impressive.

For a moment, the entire atmosphere in Qin Corporation was electric. Every employee felt that a bright future lay ahead.

After all, once the cancer drug went into production, both the market value of Qin Corporation and its societal influence would skyrocket at a terrifying speed.

What they didn't know was that this very cancer drug was already brewing a massive storm, one that was about to descend with the force of a collapsing mountain.

The pressure from these true giants would be enough to crush them, making them unable to even lift their heads. It would also show them the true meaning of despair.

There is always a deceptive calm before the storm.

「Back home after work.」

Qin Qiu and Qin Song stepped through the door at almost the same time.

Qin Qiu's face was filled with a relaxed smile, while Qin Song's expression was blank, even a bit gloomy.

The housekeeper had already prepared dinner. Just as Chen Yang was about to sit at the table, Luo Sulan rushed in like a whirlwind, pointing at him as she launched into a tirade.

"Weren't you so proud of yourself for sealing the deal with Huarui Group? Weren't you bold enough to challenge me? Now that the contract has been torn up, I want to see how you're going to explain this!

"I was wondering how Zheng Xiaoman could offer you such a big discount. It turns out she's completely unreliable!"

Qin Song had called her the moment he learned there was a major issue with the contract. Luo Sulan had exploded with anger then, so her outburst now was to be expected. The main problem was that Qin Song hadn't told her what happened afterward.

"I said long ago that this matter should have been left to the most reliable and trustworthy person, Qin Song, to handle! Now look, this waste is about to bankrupt the entire Qin Corporation!"

Qin Song's expression changed. He hurriedly pulled Luo Sulan back to stop her. "Adoptive Mother, please stop talking. About the contract..."

"Qin Song, I know you feel wronged! But rest assured, I will get justice for you today!"

Luo Sulan cut him off, glaring at Chen Yang with gritted teeth. "See how kind and outstanding Qin Song is? Even now, he's still speaking up for a waste like you!

"But what about you? You're good for nothing, worse than useless! You're absolute trash among trash!"

What on earth is this old woman on about? Chen Yang was dumbfounded.

As for Qin Song, his face had turned green. He bowed his head, his fists clenched tightly, roaring inwardly, Can you please stop talking? Are you trying to praise me to death?

"Our Qin Song..."

Luo Sulan was about to continue, but this time Qin Song forcefully pulled her back, saying helplessly, "Adoptive Mother, please stop! Chen Yang has already taken care of the contract issue!"

Qin Song was reluctant to bring it up, but at this point, he felt he would die of shame if he didn't say something.

This damned woman, why can't she keep her mouth shut?

At these words, Luo Sulan was struck dumb, frozen on the spot.

"This..."

She was rendered speechless, her old face flushing a deep red.

"You... why didn't you say so earlier?" Luo Sulan complained.

I didn't try to stop you just now? But did you give me a chance to speak? Qin Song rolled his eyes.
