"Are you really the chairman of this company?" Manager Wen sized up Lin Mu. She recalled her boss telling her before she came that the chairman of Boheng Pharma was a young man, but he hadn't elaborated.

At the time, Manager Wen had assumed it was Su Ke'er. After all, she had done some research in preparation for acquiring Boheng Pharma.

Boheng Pharma was under Su Ke'er's management.

As for that other young man, wasn't that Liu Zijian, who was far away in Jiangbei?

"The genuine article." Lin Mu smiled, but his expression was cold.

Manager Wen immediately flashed a charming smile, intentionally puffing out her chest. "Since you are indeed the chairman of this company," she said in a sickeningly sweet voice, "then we can have a proper discussion."

Lin Mu replied indifferently, "There's no need."

Manager Wen's smile didn't falter. She even deliberately tossed her hair and said, "Director Lin, you could at least look at our terms. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

With her figure and looks, Manager Wen was considered a beauty. When negotiating contracts, she usually just had to make a few suggestive gestures to bewitch the other party, who would then sign the contract in a daze.

Thus, she was very confident in her abilities.

This young, virile chairman of Boheng Pharma certainly won't refuse.

Su Ke'er watched Manager Wen with a mocking gaze, a hint of disdain in her eyes.

This seductive wretch is in for a world of hurt.

Lin Mu glanced at Manager Wen but said nothing.

Seeing Lin Mu's expression, a flicker of anger ignited within Manager Wen.

What does this bastard mean? Is he looking down on me?

At that thought, Manager Wen took a deep breath, slowly stood, and walked gracefully toward Lin Mu.

She placed a delicate hand on Lin Mu's shoulder, exhaling a fragrant breath. With her eyes smoldering, she placed her other hand on his chest and began to caress it gently.

"Handsome, just take a look. Don't worry, the terms are very generous."

Manager Wen sneered inwardly, but her face was all smiles. "As long as you sign the contract, our two companies will become partners. Then, I'll agree to whatever you want."

Manager Sun of East China Technology subconsciously swallowed at the sight.

What an enchantress!

However, he then saw Su Ke'er, who was beside Lin Mu, stand up with a slight change in her expression and take several steps back.

What does that mean?

The next moment, he understood perfectly.

"AH!"

Lin Mu had suddenly seized Manager Wen's hand, a faint smile on his face.

"Director Lin, you're hurting me..." Manager Wen's brow furrowed in apparent pain.

However, Lin Mu's next action caught her completely by surprise.

"Get lost!"

With a slight exertion of force, Lin Mu flung Manager Wen away.

She flew four or five meters before crashing to the ground, screaming in agony.

Everyone was stunned.

The chairman of Boheng Pharma had just been so violent with a woman? Did he have no sense of chivalry at all?

"You..." Manager Wen grit her teeth against the pain, her face dark as she glared at Lin Mu with cold, venomous eyes.

"Kid, that's going too far! Treating a woman so crudely, are you even a man?" Manager Sun roared, rushing to help Manager Wen up. "Are you alright?"

Manager Wen got to her feet and subtly brushed his hand away. "Thank you."

Manager Sun, his face a mask of righteousness, declared, "It's nothing! Any man would stand up for justice in a situation like this!"

A flash of disgust appeared in Manager Wen's eyes before she turned back to Lin Mu. "What is the meaning of this?"

"My apologies, I have an issue with cleanliness." Wiping his hands with a tissue, Lin Mu said, "Your scent is too strong."

"You..."

Manager Wen's face turned utterly grim. "To think the dignified Chairman of Boheng Pharma is such a petty and unrefined man. I must have been blind!"

"If you're blind, you should get it treated," Lin Mu said, not in the least angered. "Coincidentally, our company has some excellent medicine. Care to try some?"

Manager Wen was on the verge of losing her mind.

How could the Chairman of Boheng Pharma be such a scoundrel? So rude, despicable, and undignified!

Manager Sun said coldly, "We're here today to discuss the acquisition, not to trade barbs with you."

Lin Mu sat up straight, his expression aloof. "I've already told you. You aren't qualified to negotiate with me."

Manager Sun sneered. "Do you really expect our Chairman to negotiate with you personally? Let me be honest, Boheng Pharma's days are numbered. If you agree now, you can still get something out of it. If you wait for our Chairman to come, you won't get a single cent."

"Heh." Lin Mu gave a faint smile. "Then we'll talk when they get here."

A few minutes later, Cheng Bugui and his men returned.

"Venerable Master, the people you asked us to 'invite' have been brought here," Cheng Bugui said, heavily emphasizing the word "invite."

Lin Mu stood up. "Good. The people we were waiting for have arrived. You two can come out and see for yourselves."

With that, Lin Mu walked straight out of the conference room.

Manager Sun and Manager Wen exchanged a look, both seeing unease and shock in the other's eyes.

Did the people from Boheng Pharma really bring all of our companies' chairmen here?

"Come on, let's go see!"

When Manager Sun and Manager Wen reached the reception hall of Boheng Pharma, they were stunned by the scene before them.

The Chairman of East China Technology, the Chairman of Xinglong Real Estate, and the heads of several other companies were all present in the hall.

They were all disheveled, and two of them looked as if they had been dragged straight out of bed, still in their pajamas. Their faces were bruised, as if they had been beaten up.

"Liang Yue, right? I'll remember you. I swear I'll have you killed when I get the chance!" the Chairman of Xinglong Real Estate, a portly middle-aged man, snarled with a vicious look on his face.

He had delegated the acquisition to his subordinates while he took his mistress to a hotel for some fun. He never expected to be yanked out of bed and hauled directly to Boheng Pharma.

This infuriated Qiang Shijie.

Once the Qin Corporation falls completely, I'll find a way to finish off Liang Yue and his people. And Lin Mu! That bastard who humiliated me so terribly!

Qiang Shijie's face twisted with rage as he shouted, "Not just you, but Lin Mu too! I'll have all of you killed!"

"I'd like to see how you plan on having me killed," Lin Mu said, slowly walking over and looking at Qiang Shijie with an indifferent expression.

"Who the hell do you think you are, interrupting m— Lin Mu, when did you get back?!" Qiang Shijie's tirade was cut short the moment he saw Lin Mu. His legs instantly went weak, and he collapsed to his knees.

The Chairman of East China Technology had the same reaction, his face paling as he knelt, his body trembling uncontrollably. A note of terror entered his voice.

"Venerable Master, I..."

Lin Mu looked down on them coldly, his face emotionless. "You decided to acquire my company while I was away from River City? Who gave you two the guts?"

"We..." Qiang Shijie fought to suppress his terror. "We... we were forced! Otherwise, we wouldn't have dared, not even with ten times the nerve."

"Is that so?" Lin Mu gently patted Qiang Shijie's shoulder. "On the contrary, I don't believe that. In fact, I think you're extraordinarily brave."
