After Zhou Bang and his men left in a sorry state.
Tang Xinwan couldn't help but sigh.
Although Ye Cangtian's actions were for her, they were also for the benefit of the Tang Corporation. But the problem now was that this guy had caused trouble again!
The Kyoto branch company would likely have a difficult time from now on!
After all, Zhou Bang was from Baishan Pharmaceutical, and the Tang Corporation was no match for Baishan Pharmaceutical.
More importantly, Zhou Bang's actions proved that Baishan Pharmaceutical might resort to dirty tactics for revenge. In that case, Ye Cangtian's safety...
*Clap! Clap!*
Ye Cangtian clapped his hands as if nothing had happened and approached the nervous Chen Ze Kai and Gong Xin.
"Don't be nervous. I'm very sincere with my partners. Of course, if a partner isn't sincere with me, that's another matter..."
Saying that, Ye Cangtian patted the shoulders of the two, leaving them with a bright smile, and then left the room.
Although it was a smile, in the eyes of these two, it was infinitely terrifying!
It was clear that the other party was issuing a warning.
He was telling them that the malicious bidding just now was invalid and that if they harbored any greed in this regard, they should give up on it as soon as possible, or face the consequences.
"President Tang, I'm truly sorry. You know how influential Baishan Pharmaceutical is in the medical field, so we had to consider it."
After Ye Cangtian left, Chen Ze Kai was the first to show a smile and spoke to Tang Xinwan.
Gong Xin quickly followed, saying, "Yes, yes, we hope President Tang understands. This means everything before is invalid. How about we maintain the original acquisition price between us?"
One had to bow their head when under someone else's roof. With Zhou Bang from Baishan Pharmaceutical being driven away, they didn't dare to offend Ye Cangtian.
Signing the contract now was the only way out. As for being blamed by Baishan Pharmaceutical later, they could push it onto Ye Cangtian. In short, the most crucial thing now was to get through this immediate crisis.
*Hmph!*
Murong Yu snorted coldly, clearly displeased. Being publicly embarrassed like this made her very unhappy. She had intended to use this opportunity to further suppress the acquisition price.
But before she could speak, Tang Xinwan spoke first, "Okay, then let's sign the contract."
For Tang Xinwan, it was better to avoid trouble.
Moreover, she could understand Chen Ze Kai and Gong Xin going back on their word. Besides, no matter what, the acquisition plan had been completed.
And so, both parties signed the contract!
...
After a busy day.
When the two returned to the villa, it was already very late.
And at this moment, Ye Cangtian's phone suddenly rang!
The call was from Secretary Liu.
He said that Old Master Xu wanted to see him!
Ye Cangtian hung up the phone, greeted Tang Xinwan, and then went directly to the family compound.
It had to be said that this place was quite close to the family compound.
He arrived without much delay!
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Ye Cangtian saw Secretary Liu.
Secretary Liu looked at him, pushed up his glasses, and shook his head with a wry smile, "You've caused trouble again, kid!"
"Hmm?"
Ye Cangtian was slightly taken aback and immediately remembered beating up Zhou Bang during the day.
The other party found out so quickly. It seemed that the entire Kyoto was under the Old Master's control!
"Does this Baishan Pharmaceutical have a powerful background?"
"Yes, its background is indeed not small!" Secretary Liu nodded.
Baishan Pharmaceutical was related to the Bai family, one of the eight major families in Kyoto.
And the Bai family was the second-ranked family among the upper four families, always being one of the most mysterious families along with the Dongfang family.
"Although Baishan Pharmaceutical is controlled by distant relatives of the Bai family, it's still surnamed Bai."
Secretary Liu glanced at Ye Cangtian. Seeing Ye Cangtian frown slightly, he continued, "However, you don't need to worry too much. The Bai family has been out of worldly affairs for many years and might not care about a Baishan Pharmaceutical."
"Tch, do I need to worry?"
"If they dare to provoke me, I don't care who they are!"
Ye Cangtian muttered dismissively, then changed the subject, looking around the courtyard, "Why don't I see that kid Xu Shi'an?"
Secretary Liu smiled slightly and said, "Xu Shi'an returned yesterday and went to report to the Dragon Group today. He's not here!"
Dragon Group?
Ye Cangtian felt a bit awkward. He had been in the Dragon Group for so long, yet he hadn't even visited the Dragon Group headquarters. He felt a little ashamed.
"Little Ye has arrived?"
Just then, Old Master Xu walked out of the study and came to the tea table under the grape trellis.
Secretary Liu quickly stepped forward and poured two cups of tea.
"I've heard about the Saudi ruins. You did a great job, kid. You navigated skillfully among various factions, and at the minimal cost, you eliminated quite a few enemy forces..."
"Especially with the acquisition of the Heart of the Ruins, you've made significant contributions!"
As they drank tea and chatted, Old Master Xu was quite satisfied with Ye Cangtian's acquisition of the Heart of the Ruins this time.
Taking a sip of tea, Ye Cangtian put down the teacup and said,
"Old Master, that's enough. If you praise me any more, I'll get too conceited! Besides, the Heart of the Ruins recognized me as its master on its own, so it has nothing to do with me..."
"Haha, regardless of whether it has anything to do with you, China suffered the least losses and gained the most benefits. That's the fact, and it's all connected to you!"
Old Master Xu laughed heartily, then his expression turned serious and he said, "I have already communicated with the Hidden Group. You can undergo the assessment at any time..."
This was something that had been promised to Ye Cangtian, and now it had to be fulfilled.
Hidden Group?
Ye Cangtian pondered for a moment and finally shook his head, saying, "Let's wait a bit longer. No hurry!"
Old Master Xu was slightly surprised. Didn't this kid want to join the Hidden Group very much before to investigate the cause of Tang Qingshan and his wife's death?
Why was he not in a hurry now that the opportunity had arrived?
"There's still a month before the island ruins open. The Dark Association will definitely make a big move this time. I want to go to the Hidden Group after the ruins event is over!"
Ye Cangtian said slowly.
Although the ruins were extremely dangerous, they also came with immense opportunities.
Just like the small ruins of the Saudi royal family this time, he had gained considerable benefits. If it were the island ruins, he believed the benefits would be even greater.
In addition, after experiencing the trip to the small ruins, Ye Cangtian deeply understood the gap between himself and Earth-level experts. Through continuous life-and-death battles, his cultivation method, the Zhou Tian Technique, also showed signs of breakthrough.
Coupled with the crystals obtained in the ruins, Ye Cangtian wanted to attempt a breakthrough before the island ruins opened.
At that time, when facing Earth-level experts, even if he couldn't defeat them, he would be able to protect himself.
"You plan to go to the island ruins?"
Old Master Xu's brow furrowed upon hearing this.
The island ruins had already been exposed to various major powers, but it was still the territory of the Dark Association. It could be said that Ye Cangtian's trip was extremely dangerous.
However, fortunately, he still had the identity of Xuan Qi, which could be used to blend in.
Moreover, this kid was quite capable of stirring up trouble, so it was fine for him to go!
Thinking this, Old Master Xu slowly nodded, "Since you have your sights set on the island ruins, you will lead the team again this time. As for the specific personnel, it will be the same two teams led by Mu Chenglong and Zhang Liang."
Ye Cangtian did not object to this. They were all familiar faces, and working together would be more tacit.
After a few more casual chats, Ye Cangtian left the family compound.
