Chapter 139: Acting Recklessly
Zhu Hongxue felt a chill in her heart; she suddenly turned around and slapped Wang Kai across the face without ceremony.
"Niece... what, what, what are you doing?" Wang Kai's hands began to tremble; he was terrified.
He was not unaware of what kind of people these Martial Dao practitioners were. They were a bunch of guys who would kill without blinking, and his relationship with Zhu Hongxue was not actually that close.
Seeing that Zhu Hongxue didn't even dare to let out a fart in front of Chen Yu, he was truly scared out of his wits. He had done plenty of dirty deeds over the years; if Chen Yu really investigated deeply, he would only be a scapegoat.
"Wang Kai, how many times have I told you? Do not mention our relationship in front of others. Did you not listen to a word I said?" Zhu Hongxue said sternly.
"Yes, yes, it is my fault. I am sorry, President Chen. I did not know your status. It was my fault before; I apologize to you." Wang Kai apologized tremblingly.
"Then, do you agree to my proposal?" Chen Yu smiled.
"This, this..." Wang Kai secretly glanced at Zhu Hongxue.
"Whatever President Chen says goes. What qualification do you have to hesitate?" Zhu Hongxue said coldly.
"I agree, I absolutely agree. President Chen, from now on the pharmaceutical factory is yours. I will not dare to sabotage your acquisition of other pharmaceutical factories again. I was wrong, I truly know I was wrong," Wang Kai stammered.
"Very well, we will go sign the Contract in a moment. You are selling this pharmaceutical factory for ten million of your own free will; don't say I forced you," Chen Yu said with a chuckle.
"Ten million?" Zhu Hongxue felt a shock in her heart. Is this daylight robbery?
"Is there a problem?" Chen Yu looked at Zhu Hongxue with amusement and said indifferently, "If I were to investigate deeply, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to stay out of it, would you? How do you think your foster father would react?"
"No, no problem." Zhu Hongxue gritted her teeth and lowered her head. Now she could only swallow her broken teeth; after all, she could not have any connection to the pharmaceutical factory.
If her foster father really found out that she had been acting as Wang Kai's umbrella all these years and had done many unconscionable things, given his personality, he would absolutely make her pay dearly.
"It is best if there is no problem." Chen Yu smiled slightly. "Wang Kai, three days. Pack your things and leave Fengling. Do not let me see you in Fengling again, understand?"
"Under, understood." Wang Kai's hand shook. Although he was full of resentment, he dared not express it at all now; after all, the Chen Yu before him seemed to be someone even Zhu Hongxue was unwilling to provoke.
"President Song, let's go. We will send people over later to take over Shimen Pharmaceutical," Chen Yu said indifferently.
"Okay." Song Mengyan nodded and left with Chen Yu.
Wang Kai had truly lost his shirt this time. If he had just negotiated normally, that would have been one thing; he really didn't want to sell, and as long as he didn't threaten other pharmaceutical factories, it would have been fine. But he had to go and look for trouble, not knowing whether he was living or dying. This time, he really bled losses.
Zhu Hongxue did not say a word, but a glint like that of a poisonous snake appeared in her eyes.
Chen Yu glanced at Zhu Hongxue and took in this look of hers. He took note of this woman; he would have to be careful in the future.
"Hongxue... are we just going to swallow this insult like this?" After Chen Yu left, Wang Kai said through gritted teeth.
"He is my foster father's lifesaver, and his strength is far above mine. If we don't swallow this insult, what do you expect me to do?" Zhu Hongxue glanced at Wang Kai.
"But... your foster father is so old, how can he still keep you suppressed? Hongxue, it's not that I'm criticizing you, but that old man is getting on in years. Continuing to hold onto power like this... it affects your future development too," Wang Kai said unwillingly.
"Shut up." A trace of murderous intent flashed in Zhu Hongxue's eyes. She said coldly, "That is my foster father. He has his reasons for not relinquishing power. If you dare to spout one more word of nonsense, I will not be polite to you."
"Yes, yes, I won't dare anymore." Wang Kai shrank his head and didn't dare to say another word of nonsense.
"Pack your things, take your family, and get out of Fengling. Don't come back in the future, otherwise, even I won't be able to save you," Zhu Hongxue said.
"Ah? You really want me to leave?" Wang Kai was a bit dazed, then he said with a mournful face, "Hongxue, I've put down roots here for so many years. If I leave now, I'll have nothing."
"That is your own business. Get out now," Zhu Hongxue said impatiently.
"Are you trying to discard the donkey once it has finished grinding the grain? I've been working for you for the last ten years. You can't just stop caring about me when you say you will." Wang Kai looked at Zhu Hongxue's expression, and his own face suddenly turned ugly.
"What do you want?" Zhu Hongxue glanced at Wang Kai.
"In these ten years, I've earned at least several hundred million for you. I don't want much; just give me fifty million," Wang Kai gritted his teeth and said.
"And if I don't give it?" Zhu Hongxue's eyes turned cold.
"Then don't blame me for spilling all these dirty deeds you've done. If your foster father finds out you acted against morality, I'm afraid he won't let you off," Wang Kai gritted his teeth. "I don't want much; you should think about it carefully."
Zhu Hongxue did not speak. After a long while, she said indifferently, "In three days, I will have the money ready for you to leave, but if you dare to reveal even half a word about certain things, I will take your life."
"I only want the money. Don't worry, Hongxue, I won't say anything," Wang Kai's heart relaxed, and he said with a chuckle.
Zhu Hongxue did not say a word and turned to leave.
"Chen Yu, as long as Shimen Pharmaceutical is settled, the other problems won't be big issues," Song Mengyan smiled. "Next, we can vigorously start production."
"Mm, the main thing is Shimen Pharmaceutical here. Keep a close eye on Wang Kai to finish signing the Contract and handle the aftermath. I will send people to follow you so that guy doesn't get any more bad ideas."
"Okay, don't worry, leave these to me. Next, we just wait for the chain stores to finish renovations and go public."
Chen Yu had already taken over all the storefronts of Mingshun Medicine Hall. Next, they would be renovated and rebranded with the Tianyun Pharmaceutical sign under the name Xinglinju.
In the future, Tianyun's medicine could be said to be sold directly in the stores, cutting out many middlemen, which would save costs and lower drug prices.
The original site of Xinglinju had already begun reconstruction. This place would be the headquarters of the pharmacy in the future; Chen Yu had pulled strings to hire the designers.
