Chapter 682: Self-righteous (50 updates!)
Han Sheng put down the work in his hands, and after chatting with Ye Ling for a bit, he stood up and patted Ye Ling on the shoulder, "Let's go, big boss. You don't come around often. How about meeting a major client?"
"Major client? How major that I have to meet them? Can't you just do it? I really can't handle it."
Ye Ling scratched his head at the mention of work. Having him kill someone or steal an affair was fine, but meeting a client? Don't joke about that; he wasn't cut out for this.
"Come on, it's Seven Stars smartphones from the Stick Country. They heard our group developed a new smart phone that's five years ahead of the market in technology and want to discuss chip partnership."
Han Sheng said with a smile, Seven Stars Group was a behemoth, a top-tier phone corporation in the world, supporting half of the Stick Country's economy.
Ye Ling furrowed his brows, "Seven Stars? Why should we cooperate with them? Let's just do our own thing; we don't need them. Haven't I told you my dream? To have our countrymen feel proud of our own national brand of smartphone!"
"What crappy fruit and Seven Stars, sooner or later, they'll become garbage no one uses. Without our country's piece of the pie, both companies are on the brink of bankruptcy."
Ye Ling spoke slowly, especially since the recent launch of Fruit 7, the frenzy of our countrymen had emboldened Ye Ling with a belief, to create a national brand and run it into the ground!
Han Sheng shook his head, "That dream isn't rational; we are businessmen, profit is the goal. But you're the big boss, so it's your call; after all, it's your money to lose."
"Regardless, we should still make contact with them. Even if we ultimately refuse, at the very least, we're aligning with international big companies, and we can learn from the experience."
Han Sheng continued slowly. Hearing this, what else could Ye Ling say? He agreed to go; after all, Han Sheng had the final say on everything.
In front of the reborn company's entrance, Han Sheng and Ye Ling, accompanied by some of the group's elites, were there to welcome the negotiation team from Seven Stars Company.
When the impressive crowd arrived, Han Sheng's expression changed instantly, for he saw among this group of Seven Stars elites the serpent woman who had swindled him into bankruptcy a year ago.
Ye Ling naturally saw the change in Han Sheng's face and knew what was going on. He had looked up the woman's details and knew what she looked like.
"Now, you should make her regret, not get angry here. If you do, I think you're still in love with her."
Ye Ling whispered, wasn't there an old saying? Love turns to hate because you love. You hate her, proving you still love her. If you don't, treat her like a stranger, and there's no need for hate.
Han Sheng took a deep breath and then grinned slightly, nodding and walking forward to shake hands with the leader from Seven Stars, courteously inviting everyone into the conference room.
Ye Ling left, and Mo Xing arrived; he had more important things to do. As for entertaining people from Seven Stars, he wasn't interested, and they didn't have the qualifications.
Half an hour later, the meeting ended. Formation Group rejected Seven Stars Company's proposal. However, the meeting was relatively amicable, at least without any rashness.
After everyone from Seven Stars Company had left, Han Sheng stood at the company entrance, ready to head back, when that woman returned, holding a slim file folder.
"I think our past issues were due to youth and inexperience. You still love me, don't you?"
"And, I don't want our personal matters to affect the cooperation between the two groups. I've been single all along. How about dinner together tonight?"
The woman smiled faintly, and Han Sheng smiled back slightly. The woman across from him felt a surge of joy, but in the next moment, Han Sheng turned and waved his hand, "Formation Group will never partner with Seven Stars, just like you and me, there will never be any possibility again."
Watching Han Sheng leave, the woman felt immeasurable loss. Initially, swayed by her lover's beguilement, she betrayed Han Sheng. Now, Han Sheng had become a highly sought-after financial genius.
Rebirth Group was charging toward becoming one of the top domestic conglomerates with terrifying potential. Furthermore, without any unforeseen events, in three years' time, Rebirth Group would firmly hold the throne as Huaxia's top economic seat.
By then, Han Sheng would control frightening assets amounting to hundreds of billions. If, if none of that had happened, would she have been living a more carefree life than she was now?
"Han Sheng! You can't escape the palm of my hand. I know you still love me, hmph."
The self-assured woman turned and left, thinking that by apologizing for hurting a man, she could start anew. But she never considered that her actions were not merely hurtful, they were almost destructive, having nearly ruined Han Sheng.
Meanwhile, at Donghai's government offices, Li Tianhao took a walk around before settling back into his car, his expression somewhat grave.
"This Formation is no simple matter, it doesn't seem like the style of our country, but rather like the Great Formation laid down by a mystic master from Singapore. And such methods are not something an ordinary person could set up."
In Singapore, Ye Ling and Mo Xing exchanged puzzled looks. Mo Zidao hadn't recently cooperated or had any disputes with officials from the country of Singapore.
Moreover, how could that nation target a high-ranking official from Huaxia? If they were to follow their usual state policies, this would be utterly unrealistic.
But since Li Tianhao recognized the Formation, he should be able to break it. The two looked at Li Tianhao, who naturally understood what that meant.
"I can break it without issue, but such a superficial solution doesn't address the root of the problem. Are you fine with that?"
"Only by finding the person behind the scenes can we prevent this issue from recurring. Let's do this—I'll control the malevolent Great Formation for now while we hurry to find them."
Ye Ling and Mo Xing had no choice but to nod in agreement. What else could they do? Li Tianhao got out of the car, circled the entrance, and then returned to the car, clapping his hands, saying the issue was resolved.
Ye Ling was stunned, "Hey, don't be lazy, man. That's Mo Xing's dad we're talking about. You just walked around once and called it done? It can't be that easy."
"Yeah, Tianhao, didn't you use some kind of charm or something? Just walking around like that and you're done? Are you kidding me? That's my dad sitting up there."
Li Tianhao became anxious, "Damn it, what level of Cultivation am I at? If you guys don't trust me, why the hell did you ask for my help? I'm doing you a favor and all I get is aggravation."
Mo Xing and the other person laughed slyly, and suddenly, Ye Ling took a call. After hanging up, Ye Ling grinned viciously, "Found the guy who replaced the car barrier for the government!"
"What are we waiting for, let's go find him. The target has appeared, blast team get ready, explosive action!"
Mo Xing spoke through clenched teeth, his words coming out jumbled with rage.
