"Mr. Chen, it's been a long time!" Han Liang's lips curved upwards slightly, a smile of respect gracing his face.
Chen Lishu knew the other party was a hypocritical traitor, so she treated Han Liang with disdain. "It has indeed been a long time. How is your work at Qin's Group?"
"Naturally, it's not as comfortable as Chen's Group. Mr. Chen is the most generous and considerate boss I've ever met. To be honest, I somewhat regret transferring to Qin's Group now.
I know what Mr. Chen is here for, but Qin Lan is not an easy target. After all, his company has a history of many years and countless connections behind him!
I've been at Qin's Group for a while now, and I'm very clear about the forces behind him, and I have a way to break through them!
I can help you get what you want, but I have one condition: that you return to work at Chen's Group!" Han Liang's expression was exceptionally proud as he said this, as if his request would surely be approved by Chen Lishu!
If the person standing in front of Han Liang were Qin Lan, he might consider keeping him if he proved useful. But the person standing before him was not Qin Lan, but Chen Lishu!
Someone like a weathervane, always leaning towards whichever way the wind blows, would betray her again for profit one day. Chen Lishu crossed her arms, looking at Han Liang with disdain, and said,
"What are you, anyway? What kind of confidence makes you think I need your help to take down Qin's Group? And have you return to the company? Are you sure I wouldn't be nurturing a tiger that will bring disaster?"
Seeing Chen Lishu dismiss him so rudely, Han Liang's face flushed and paled with anger! He clapped his hands, nodded, and said through gritted teeth, "Fine, it's rare to see Mr. Chen so sharp-tongued, but one day you will regret what you've said!"
A threat? Chen Lishu had never been afraid of such things in her life. She lifted her head and said to Han Liang with a cold expression, "You can get out now and call your boss in."
Han Liang suppressed his anger, his eyes dark as he turned and left the office.
As soon as he stepped out, he saw Qin Lan walking towards him with a grim expression. Han Liang, resentful of Chen Lishu, naturally didn't want her to get her way. So, on impulse, he blocked Qin Lan's path and said to him,
"Mr. Qin, I know what Chen Lishu is here for. Before you go in, may I offer my opinion? I don't think you want to be defeated by a woman and become a laughingstock, do you?"
Qin Lan was already seething with anger. Hearing Han Liang's words, he unhesitatingly raised his foot and delivered a powerful kick to Han Liang's stomach.
"Ugh!" Han Liang fell to the ground in a straight line, the piercing pain spreading through his body, making him gasp.
Qin Lan stared at Han Liang coldly and said, "What right do you have to shout at me? It seems like you've been given too much power lately and have become arrogant, forgetting your original identity."
Hearing Qin Lan's sarcastic remarks, a flicker of murderous intent flashed in Han Liang's eyes, but he quickly hid it. After all, he needed to use Qin Lan to deal with Chen Lishu!
So Han Liang gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and slowly stood up, saying humbly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Qin. I didn't mean to threaten you. I was just angered by Chen Lishu during our conversation, and I was worried about the future development of our Qin's Group, so my words were careless!
But you must believe in my loyalty to Qin's Group. After all, Mr. Qin has brought me many benefits during this time, allowing me to earn money and gain status. Therefore, I hope this company can continue to develop and prosper more than anyone else!"
Qin Lan's expression improved slightly after hearing Han Liang's words. He crossed his arms and slowly said, "Tell me, what are your thoughts on Chen Lishu's visit?"
Han Liang pursed his lips, his face contorted with malice as he said fiercely, "Mr. Qin, Chen Lishu is here only to get revenge for us acquiring her sausages at a low price last time!
I know the company is short on funds right now, and any company can acquire the sausages, but not Chen Lishu. If we let her have her way, where would Qin's Group's face go?"
Hearing this, a cold smile appeared on Qin Lan's face. He walked up to Han Liang, patted his face, and said dismissively,
"I wonder if I was out of my mind back then? Why did I pay a high price to poach you from Chen Lishu's company? I thought you were capable, but it turns out you're just a brainless incompetent!
Now with the pig plague rampant, many sausage manufacturers are struggling to fend for themselves. Who has the money to buy my company's sausages? Most importantly, who can guarantee that there won't be quality issues with the sausages acquired at this sensitive time?"
Han Liang felt a burning pain on his face, mainly stimulated by Chen Lishu's actions, causing his mind to focus on one thought: to thwart Chen Lishu's plan. Other than that, his mind was blank.
After a moment of deep thought, he looked up and continued, "Mr. Qin, I know you're angry with me, but now is not the time for us to have conflict.
No matter what, we cannot let Chen Lishu succeed today. If we really sell the sausages to them at a low price, won't that tell outsiders that Qin's Group is going bankrupt and cannot sustain itself?
I think we don't need to sell all the sausages to them. We can keep two-thirds in the company and make a profit after the pig plague ends!"
Selling one-third of the sausages at a low price to Chen Lishu? This plan was much better than his original intention, but Qin Lan still felt uneasy. The concessions made might not be sausages but dignity.
However, there was no other way, especially since Chen Lishu was making such a big deal out of the pig plague, causing his plan to go awry and his pork sausages to become unsellable.
The company was already experiencing a shortage of funds, and if it wasn't resolved quickly, the consequences would be far more severe than selling the sausages at a low price.
Thinking of this, Qin Lan rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on. He then took a deep breath and walked into the office with a solemn expression.
