Chapter 336: 332, An Appointment with a Big Shot (Please subscribe, monthly tickets!)

By noon the next day, Zhuo Fan had found Tian Yaohui. He had other important matters to attend to this time; even without the business he had discussed with Huang Lin and the others yesterday, he would have come anyway.

When Tian Yaohui saw Zhuo Fan, he was also a bit stunned. Why had this guy come?

"What are you here for?" Tian Yaohui asked.

Zhuo Fan laughed, "Am I not allowed to come and see an old friend?"

Tian Yaohui sneered, "You? Would you be that kind-hearted? Speak, what business do you have with me? I'm in this state now, what is there left for you, Zhuo Fan, to covet? Even I am a bit curious."

Zhuo Fan didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "I've come to you this time with a good thing."

"What good thing?" Tian Yaohui was unimpressed.

Zhuo Fan recounted the results of their discussion from yesterday and finally said, "Once you are re-incorporated into the Zhang Ran System, no matter how things develop in the future, Zhang Ran will no longer be able to stand on the moral high ground in the eyes of the public. This is also beneficial to you; you won't have to carry the name of a traitor.

From now on, these matters will all be internal affairs of the Zhang Ran System, internal competition, and will have nothing to do with morality."

After hearing Zhuo Fan's words, Tian Yaohui was momentarily dazed. The Zhang Ran System!

This name hadn't reached his ears for a long time.

But Tian Yaohui quickly snapped back to reality, "What good does this do for me? I've already fallen to this state; do you think I still care about having one more label of 'traitor'? Then I can only tell you that you've overthought it."

"Don't you want to take revenge on Zhang Ran? You should know that Zhang Ran is the one who sent your son in as well," Zhuo Fan said.

Tian Yaohui's hand tightened subconsciously, but he said with an expressionless face, "He brought that upon himself."

"Heh, whether he brought it upon himself, you know in your heart. I've also inquired about the specific circumstances of the matter; don't you think it was all too coincidental?" Zhuo Fan chuckled.

There was still no expression on Tian Yaohui's face. No matter what Zhuo Fan said, it was absolutely impossible for him to agree so easily.

Seeing Tian Yaohui's demeanor, Zhuo Fan knew this guy wouldn't release the hawk until he saw the rabbit. In the end, he could only say helplessly, "As long as you agree, our debts will be cleared, including those of Huang Lin and the others."

In truth, Tian Yaohui had already fallen to such a state that they hadn't expected to be able to get the money back anyway.

Zhang Ran would not give Tian Yaohui another chance to rise again.

"I also want three hundred million," Tian Yaohui said.

"Are you crazy? We're waiving so many of your debts, and you still want three hundred million?" Zhuo Fan was laughed to anger by Tian Yaohui.

Tian Yaohui didn't speak, just stared at Zhuo Fan.

"Fine, we can give you three hundred million, but you have to tell us in detail why you fell to this state, and exactly how much evidence Zhang Ran holds regarding the shares," Zhuo Fan said in a deep voice.

This was his main purpose this time, and also the only thing he was currently worried about.

Tian Yaohui smiled. He knew these people would definitely be worried about these things, and right now, he was the only one who understood it best.

"The evidence Zhang Ran holds isn't much, just barely enough for the police to file a case, and even that filing wasn't a hundred percent certain. If I hadn't made that decision earlier, and if the Changshi Government had helped me a little, this case wouldn't have been easy to file," Tian Yaohui said, explaining what he knew.

"Then why did you still end up inside?" Zhuo Fan asked.

"What else could it be? A gambler who loses must accept the bet. Besides, I had already offended the Changshi Government to the death; doing this was the best choice," Tian Yaohui said calmly.

Zhuo Fan was speechless. In the end, he couldn't help but ask, "Why did you do that? Don't you know that even if you succeeded, the final outcome might not be any better?"

"Heh, otherwise what else could I do? Zhang Ran had already forced his way to my doorstep. If I didn't do that, I wouldn't even have had room to resist," Tian Yaohui sneered.

Once he reached that point, no matter the result, he had to fight with all his might.

Immediately, Tian Yaohui sighed, "But thinking about it carefully now, this was actually a trap set by Zhang Ran. He was forcing me to take this path from the very beginning, and he succeeded."

"However, this also proves one thing: the evidence he holds is definitely not much, perhaps even pitifully little."

Zhuo Fan nodded. His purpose for coming here today was considered complete.

"Around this time tomorrow, someone will come to interview you. You should know what to say, right?" Zhuo Fan said.

Tian Yaohui nodded silently. Then, Zhuo Fan didn't waste any more breath or pleasantries with him and left directly.

Ning Yu put on her equipment and composed herself. This morning, she had received instructions from the station to replace all the scripts previously prepared for the interview with new ones.

And on the new script, she saw things that still left her heart shaken at this moment.

Taking a few deep breaths, she suppressed her shock, gave an OK sign to the camera, and walked into Li Yiting's office.

"President Li, hello."

"Host Ning, hello."

Both sides exchanged the usual pleasantries, followed by some standard opening remarks, chatting about simple matters.

Slowly, Ning Yu entered her state, asking questions about business.

When the time was about right, Ning Yu pretended to be curious and asked, "President Li, may I ask you an off-topic question?"

"Of course, please go ahead, Host Ning," Li Yiting said with a smile, though his mood suddenly became complicated.

The name they had deliberately forgotten and tried to erase would appear again from his own mouth.

In the past, he had felt proud of this name; now, he felt a trace of fear for it!

"I heard that a major event happened in the business world recently. I wonder if President Li has heard of it?" Ning Yu said with a smile.

"What major event has reached the ears of Host Ning? I am actually a bit curious," Li Yiting said.

Looking at Li Yiting's appearance, which seemed as if he truly knew nothing, Ning Yu couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Business tycoons who could reach this level were indeed born actors.

Immediately, Ning Yu cast aside these distracting thoughts and said with a smile, "It's the matter regarding Yaotian Pharmaceutical. In just one month, Yaotian Pharmaceutical, with a market value of over a hundred billion, seems to have undergone a complete transformation.

I heard that not only have the major shareholders changed, but the board of directors has also undergone a major shift, and Chairman Tian Yaohui has even been thrown into prison. Hasn't President Li heard of this?"

Although Li Yiting had been mentally prepared, his eyes were still complex at this moment, but he quickly recovered.

"Of course I know about this."
