Chapter 249: 245. Can we still get our money back? (Please subscribe, monthly tickets!)

Yu Mingcai arrived at the office early the next morning and quickly notified everyone for a meeting. He had not returned yesterday, so he had to provide an answer this morning, and he also needed to report on the specific situation regarding Yaotian Pharmaceutical.

Yu Mingcai had already drafted his report yesterday. When narrating, he glossed over his relationship with Zhang Ran without emphasizing it, focusing instead on Zhang Ran's attitude.

After hearing Yu Mingcai's report, some people frowned, and a hint of anger flashed in their eyes. This Zhang Ran was truly too arrogant; did he really think they had no way to deal with him?

However, just as they were about to discuss it, the secretary walked in and whispered, "Leader, Chairman Feng of Yaotian Pharmaceutical is here."

"What is he here for?"

"He says he is here to demand an explanation."

"We haven't even gone to him for an explanation, yet he comes first. Make him wait outside."

Just as these words were spoken, the phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, his heart skipped a beat. "Leader, last night, the new boss of Yaotian Pharmaceutical, President Zhang, was attacked in the street, but he is unharmed."

This was the leader of the Public Security Bureau calling the moment he received the news.

It had been too late last night, and since Zhang Ran had not shown any anger or intention to pursue the matter, the investigating officers had breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing how late it was, they did not notify their superiors.

Only mentioning it this morning, the Public Security Bureau leader knew immediately upon hearing the news that things were looking bad. He also knew about the situation between Yaotian Pharmaceutical and Chang City, but it was outside his jurisdiction, so he had not intervened.

The leader's heart sank. After he hung up the phone, a call from Yu Weimin also came in.

This made him feel even more uneasy. Yu Weimin did not say much on the phone, only telling him to strengthen public security management in Chang City.

But the leader understood that Yu Weimin was somewhat angry. Yu Weimin could ignore their business dealings, and Zhang Ran would not make things difficult for him.

But once it involved personal safety, Yu Weimin could not tolerate it.

"Please let Chairman Feng in," the leader sighed.

He then looked at the others and explained the situation. The faces of those present changed, as they all knew what this meant.

Everything Zhang Ran had done was legal and reasonable, yet he had still suffered a personal threat. This was no small matter, and it was not good for the investment environment in Chang City.

Although a large part of this involved Zhang Ran's personal grievances, Chang City could not shirk all responsibility either.

Yu Mingcai clenched his fists tightly. He had not expected such a thing to happen last night, and he had a vague, ominous premonition.

After Feng Hui entered, he did not act aggressively; instead, he appeared quite amiable. However, everyone knew what Feng Hui wanted, or rather, what Zhang Ran wanted.

The subsequent atmosphere seemed quite good, and Feng Hui got what he wanted: Chang City would not set up any obstacles to block Yaotian Pharmaceutical from moving, and would even provide some assistance.

After the matter was settled, before leaving, Feng Hui looked at Yu Mingcai and finally said, "President Zhang asked me to pass on a message: President Zhang feels honored by the importance Chang City has placed on this, and because of some private matters, he feels very sorry for making things difficult for the leaders here."

"However, President Zhang also said that he is not a true businessman and will not use everything as a bargaining chip. For some things, he would rather destroy a Yaotian Pharmaceutical than fail to vent his anger."

After saying this, Feng Hui smiled apologetically at the others and then walked away.

Feng Hui did not understand these words of Zhang Ran's, but for some reason, he felt a sense of excitement. It seemed that doing this gave him a sense of excitement that was more inexplicable than putting profit above all else.

After hearing this, Yu Mingcai's face suddenly turned exceptionally ugly.

After Feng Hui left, everyone looked at Yu Mingcai. From Feng Hui's words, they knew that the matter was not as simple as Yu Mingcai had said; Yu Mingcai had concealed something.

They were also curious about what kind of matter could make Zhang Ran say such things—willing to destroy a hundred-billion-level group just to vent his anger. This was definitely not an ordinary matter.

With a grim expression, Yu Mingcai said, "Sorry, this is my private family matter, it is not convenient to say more."

He did not know how to bring it up either. This matter was not a good thing for him; if he spoke of it, it would be even more disadvantageous for him.

However, Yu Mingcai also knew that there must be some people who had opinions about him now.

Coupled with Yu Weimin's attitude, Yu Mingcai suddenly felt lost. Could it be that there really was karma in this world?

Beijing, Huamei Group.

Cheng Mei looked at Huang Lin and said, "We still haven't received the loan contract from Yaotian Pharmaceutical. What should we do about this money?"

They had not expected Tian Yaohui to be finished so quickly. Such a large group, finished just like that.

The reason they had agreed to lend the money first and then complete the paperwork was because they did not believe Zhang Ran would act so quickly.

Even though Huang Lin had guessed that Zhang Ran might finish off Tian Yaohui quickly, his "quickly" was at least a month or more.

But who could have imagined it would only take a few days?

Huang Lin sighed and said, "Why don't you call and ask about the situation?"

"Why don't you call?" Cheng Mei was displeased.

Huang Lin coughed dryly and said, "I'm worried that if I call, it will make things worse. You're different; Zhang Ran will give you some face at least."

Huang Lin was also worried now that his money wouldn't be recovered. Given Zhang Ran's personality, he really might do such a thing.

"What if Zhang Ran refuses to acknowledge the debt?" Cheng Mei asked.

"That shouldn't happen, right? Tian Yaohui always followed company procedures here. Forget it, when the time comes, just insist that it was borrowed by Yaotian Pharmaceutical and see what he says," Huang Lin said, gritting his teeth.

That was the only way for now.

"Then what about the others? Are they prepared to just give it up?" Cheng Mei asked again.

"Who knows what they are thinking now? And do you know that in this matter of Tian Yaohui, none of these people contributed?"

"If it weren't for these people, could Tian Yaohui have been finished so quickly? Could Chang City have had enough evidence to file a case directly?" Huang Lin said in a low voice.

Cheng Mei stopped talking after hearing this. Indeed, they were already starting to suspect each other internally. The speed at which Tian Yaohui fell was so fast that it made them have to wonder if there was another Meng He among them.
