Chapter 214: 210. Zhang Ran, you might be right, but I, Tian Yaohui, am absolutely not wrong

It was already evening when Tian Yaohui learned of this news; he had just finished dinner and was sitting on the sofa looking at some reports.

Tian Yaohui had been keeping an eye on Dasheng Pharmaceutical during this period, but ever since "Yong Ge" passed the review, Dasheng Pharmaceutical had simply been operating quietly without any other moves.

This made Tian Yaohui lower his guard somewhat, but he had not expected that Zhang Ran would actually think the same way he did, and had even struck first, which left him feeling caught off guard.

What made Tian Yaohui even more uneasy was the level of support from Taylor, who had actually exposed a short video himself in order to promote "Yong Ge."

Although Taylor might have had the intention of proving himself to the whole world, and perhaps there was also a sense of "breaking the pot to mend it" since a short video had already leaked out before, so one more didn't really matter.

Furthermore, his reputation had long since spread across the world; these short videos had no impact on his personal reputation, and even without these videos, everyone already knew what kind of person he was.

However, even so, and even though Tian Yaohui found countless reasons, he still could not fully convince himself to believe that Zhang Ran and Taylor were merely in a cooperative relationship.

"Tian Yaohui, what do you have to say about the matter with Yaya? We agreed beforehand that Yaya's company should at least reach the point of going public. Now that it has turned out like this, why haven't you made a single move?" Tian Yaohui, who was frowning and pondering the problem, was interrupted by a relatively harsh female voice.

Looking at his stout wife, Tian Yaohui sighed inwardly and said in a not-so-pleasant tone: "What kind of trouble are you stirring up again? Haven't I already helped Yaya establish the company? I gave her the initial capital, what else do you want?"

Wan Haifang plopped down onto the sofa opposite Tian Yaohui, making the sofa tremble: "What do I want? Tian Yaohui, you really don't care about your own daughter's affairs at all. Right now, her company is just a small, broken company, struggling every day for a few tiny orders. Is this how you act as a father? Huh?"

"And we agreed that Yaya's company must go public, otherwise I'm not finished with you." Wan Haifang said, breathing heavily.

Tian Yaohui put down the documents in his hand, took a deep breath, and said: "You know about Yaya's situation; she is currently being watched closely by Zhang Ran. If Zhang Ran doesn't speak, what can I do?"

"I only have some connections in the pharmaceutical industry; in the luxury goods industry, what do I have to fight against Zhang Ran, who has the full support of Huo Zhiyuan?"

Tian Yaohui was also helpless; he truly had no way to deal with Tian Ya's company, and he also knew that Zhang Ran was currently itching for him to spend a large amount of capital on this to compete with him.

"Heh, know you're afraid now? When you embezzled other people's shares back then, why weren't you afraid?" Wan Haifang mocked.

Tian Yaohui stood up abruptly, his expression ugly as he said: "Wan Haifang, don't go too far!"

"Too far? Tian Yaohui, that's what I should be saying to you. Don't go too far, or don't blame me for not considering our many years of husband-and-wife ties." Wan Haifang also said angrily, though she quickly mocked herself: "That's right, you and I actually have no husband-and-wife ties at all."

Seeing her like this, Tian Yaohui sighed, sat back down, and said softly: "Haifang, you don't understand the current situation. Zhang Ran has already set his sights on me. Look at this report and these news items."

As he spoke, Tian Yaohui handed over the things in his hand. Wan Haifang was not uneducated; truth be told, Yaotian Pharmaceutical originally belonged to her Wan family's assets.

Therefore, Wan Haifang quickly understood the situation and stopped berating Tian Yaohui, frowning as well.

Tian Yaohui smiled bitterly: "Haifang, you understand now, right? It's not that I don't want to help Yaya; Yaya is my daughter too. It's just that now I must put all my capital and energy into dealing with Zhang Ran, otherwise, let alone helping Yaya, we won't even be able to protect ourselves."

Wan Haifang said somewhat unwillingly: "Then we're just going to ignore Yaya like this?"

"You know as well as I do that Yaya is with Sun Gaixin now, and Zhang Ran will not let them go. Do you really think Zhang Ran is that magnanimous?" Tian Yaohui sighed.

"Then make Yaya break up with that man surnamed Sun." Wan Haifang said.

Although she was not very familiar with Zhang Ran, she was not a stranger to him either, and she had always been very wary of the Zhang Ran from back then.

"You'll have to ask Yaya about that; I've already tried to persuade her. But for now, the most important thing is to focus our energy on Zhang Ran's side." Tian Yaohui said.

"Are you sure about this?" Wan Haifang asked.

Tian Yaohui said: "Of course I'm sure, otherwise I wouldn't have chosen to do this. Don't worry, Zhang Ran will cause a stir at most, he won't be able to make any waves. This time I will let him know that he is completely outdated."

Tian Yaohui didn't know if he was trying to boost his own morale or give Wan Haifang some peace of mind, but he spoke with extreme firmness.

However, Wan Haifang was not easily fooled: "Since Zhang Ran chose to make a move at this time, he must have prepared well. Are you really sure?"

Being doubted by his own wife, Tian Yaohui was also somewhat annoyed, especially at a time like this when she didn't have faith in him. However, Tian Yaohui's shrewdness was not something a business novice like Zhang Sicheng could compare to; he quickly suppressed the annoyance in his heart and said in a relaxed tone: "Don't worry, even if Zhang Ran has some other trump cards, I have means to deal with them."

Seeing Wan Haifang's suspicious gaze, Tian Yaohui knew that if he didn't completely put her mind at ease, his household might fall into chaos before Zhang Ran even made his move.

"Don't look at how people like Huang Lin are standing on the sidelines now; once things reach a certain point, it's impossible for them not to panic at all. And even if they have made up their minds not to intervene, I will make them enter the fray." Tian Yaohui said very confidently.

Wan Haifang nodded after hearing this; she actually knew that such matters were not suitable for internal strife, but she just didn't have confidence in her heart.

"And don't forget, the number of employees at our Yaotian Pharmaceutical main factory has already exceeded eight thousand. If you add in some subsidiaries and other enterprises that rely on us, this number could exceed fifty thousand, or even more. By then..." Tian Yaohui did not continue, but Wan Haifang understood.

"Fine, then I won't bother you for now, but Tian Yaohui, you remember this: after this matter is over, you must give Yaya an explanation, otherwise don't blame me." Wan Haifang gave Tian Yaohui one last deep look, then went upstairs.

Watching Wan Haifang go upstairs, Tian Yaohui suddenly lay back on the sofa. At this moment, he also remembered the words Zhang Ran had said to him when he wanted to marry Wan Haifang.

"Yaohui, sometimes people do have to make some sacrifices for their goals or ideals, but sometimes, these sacrifices are unnecessary, because the things these sacrifices bring in exchange might be things you could have obtained with just two or three years of effort."

"But the things you sacrifice can never be recovered!"

Zhang Ran's words echoed in Tian Yaohui's mind, and for a moment he was lost in thought, but then his expression became firm: "Zhang Ran, you might be right, but I, Tian Yaohui, have done nothing wrong, and I have never regretted it!"
