Zhang Ran sipped his coffee and said, "What reason do you want?"

"Isn't this your business? Are you saying I'm the one begging you to buy my shares this time?" Wan Haifang sneered.

Zhang Ran smiled, "Listen to yourself, 'begging'? I am giving you an opportunity. Is this little thing really worth me begging you for? You're overthinking it."

Looking at Zhang Ran's indifferent demeanor, Wan Haifang wanted to retort in her heart, but after thinking of Zhang Ran's glorious past, she immediately fell silent.

Seeing her like this, Zhang Ran thought for a moment and said, "If you really want a reason, it's not like there isn't one. Take a look at this."

As he spoke, Zhang Ran signaled to He Yong at his side, and upon hearing this, He Yong handed a document in his hand to Wan Haifang.

Wan Haifang took it, confused, but as she looked at the contents, her expression changed; Zhang Ran really did know these things.

"Did you plant your people around us?" Wan Haifang said with an ugly expression. "You never truly trusted them?"

Zhang Ran shook his head at this: "No, I trusted them very much, or rather, I trusted them very much in the past. Think about it carefully: aside from giving some guidance on the general direction, when have you ever seen me interfere with their management of the company?

Is there a better boss in the world than me? I gave them shares, and I kept them in positions of great power, without any interference from anyone. Isn't that enough trust? Do I have to give them all my shares for it to be called trust?"

As Zhang Ran spoke, the mocking smile on his face grew more intense. Back then, Zhang Ran had indeed trusted these people, giving them the greatest authority, the best treatment, and the most correct guidance.

But what about now?

Heh!

"As for planting people to monitor you, I, Zhang Ran, wouldn't stoop so low."

Finally, Zhang Ran added one more sentence that shocked Wan Haifang!

"Besides, if I hadn't trusted them back then, I wouldn't have so many problems today, and I certainly wouldn't be too busy to spend time with my family," Zhang Ran said flatly.

Wan Haifang didn't know what Zhang Ran's last sentence meant. Could it be that Zhang Ran had other methods back then that he didn't use?

Wan Haifang then shook her head, temporarily casting these thoughts aside, and looked back at the document in her hand.

At the very top of this document was a photo of a young man who looked very much like Tian Yaohui, smiling brightly while his eyes also looked quite smug.

Zhang Ran looked at Wan Haifang and said, "Actually, at first I thought you didn't know. After all, on the surface, you seemed completely unaware.

But later I thought about it, you, Wan Haifang, should be mature by now; you aren't the brainless girl you were back then."

Just as Zhang Ran finished saying this, he was glared at by Wan Haifang. How was this guy talking?

Zhang Ran said indifferently: "With your ability, Wan Haifang, no matter how secretly Tian Yaohui acted, you should have been able to detect it. So I guess you knew all of this, but I can't quite understand how you could tolerate it. You, Miss Wan, don't have such a good temper."

Wan Haifang's expression had calmed down by now, and she looked at Zhang Ran and said, "This is our family business; it's none of your concern."

Zhang Ran shrugged and said, "Since you don't want to talk about it, then forget it. Let's get back to the point: are you selling the shares or not?"

Zhang Ran wanted to pull the topic back, but Wan Haifang pulled it right back: "If you didn't plant people around us, how did you know?"

Zhang Ran said helplessly: "Didn't I just tell you? I didn't plant anyone, but I do have my own channels. Don't worry about that."

After finishing, Zhang Ran seemed to think of something else and added: "By the way, this person named Tian Jiaming is already interning at Yaotian Pharmaceutical, right? It seems Tian Yaohui is determined to hand Yaotian Pharmaceutical over to this illegitimate son of his."

Yes, the information Zhang Ran gave Wan Haifang was about Tian Yaohui's illegitimate son. This Tian Jiaming was already twenty-four years old, which meant Tian Yaohui had been unfaithful at least twenty-five years ago.

Wan Haifang's expression was not good; she took out a cigarette and started smoking, ignoring the strange looks from others nearby.

"I knew about it when this Tian Jiaming was five years old. But I have to say, Tian Yaohui is a meticulous person. If that stupid woman hadn't actually come to our house back then to demand I leave, I probably would have been kept in the dark for a few more years," Wan Haifang said with self-mockery.

Zhang Ran listened silently, treating it as gossip.

"At the time, I really wanted to just divorce Tian Yaohui, but back then, Yaotian Pharmaceutical couldn't function without Tian Yaohui, and our old man was also nearing the end. So I had no choice but to endure it. I didn't want him to have to deal with any nonsense when he was about to leave this world, so he could go in peace."

"Afterward, I also talked with Tian Yaohui. I could ignore Tian Jiaming, and I could even not have Yaya inherit Yaotian Pharmaceutical, but he had to give Yaya an explanation, and he promised me. It's just..." As she spoke, she stopped.

Zhang Ran knew what happened after that; it was just ruined by Zhang Ran.

Zhang Ran didn't say much about this; the matter wasn't over yet, and he couldn't be bothered to talk more with Wan Haifang.

After saying all this, Wan Haifang fell into silence. Finally, she took a deep breath, looked at Zhang Ran, and said slowly: "On what grounds should I sell my shares to you? Just because of this? It's not enough!"

The topic seemed to have returned to the starting point, as if everything said before was just nonsense.

Zhang Ran smiled faintly: "If you don't sell these shares, I will directly destroy Yaotian Pharmaceutical. When that happens, you won't get a single cent. Believe me, I mean what I say."

When Wan Haifang heard Zhang Ran say this, she didn't offer any sarcasm. In fact, Wan Haifang had come this time just as Zhang Ran had said; her heart was already wavering.

This wavering was first based on her impression of Zhang Ran in the past; back then, she didn't even know how Zhang Ran had managed to reach that point.

Secondly, it was because of the results of Zhang Ran's actions during this period. In a short time, Yaotian Pharmaceutical already seemed to be tottering in the wind and rain, and Zhang Ran had only spent about half a year preparing.

The third point, and the most important one, was that the launch of 'Yong Ge' had already brought a huge threat to Yaotian Pharmaceutical.

If Dasheng Pharmaceutical were really just a small enterprise, Wan Haifang wouldn't be worried, but unfortunately, it wasn't; behind Dasheng Pharmaceutical stood Zhang Ran.

So even if this crisis passed, Wan Haifang actually didn't have much confidence in Yaotian Pharmaceutical anymore; it was just a matter of time.

And once Zhang Ran truly made up his mind to destroy Yaotian Pharmaceutical, the shares in her hands would become worthless paper. She still wanted to leave enough money for Tian Ya.

Although she knew Tian Yaohui had also prepared many methods to wait for Zhang Ran, today's incident made Wan Haifang increasingly wary of Zhang Ran. These things really weren't something that could be found just by checking casually.

Otherwise, no one would have been unaware for so long; Tian Yaohui had kept things very well hidden on his end.

"I can sell my shares. How much are you prepared to pay?" Wan Haifang finally made up her mind.

Her relationship with Tian Yaohui had long since shattered. The main reason she had spent so many years playing along with Tian Yaohui was for Tian Ya.

And when Tian Yaohui prepared to hand Yaotian Pharmaceutical over to that illegitimate son, she no longer had any of her former feelings for Yaotian Pharmaceutical.
