Tang Xin Wan had always kept a very low profile!
Even though Haitian Pharmaceutical was a listed company and she, as the chairwoman, was worth a fortune, she had only ever driven a Maserati President, worth less than two million yuan.
She intended to buy some cars, one for getting around Kyoto and another for the company's senior executives.
But she thought that three cars, totaling a couple of million yuan, should be enough.
And the result?
When the 4S shop staff drove the three cars over and handed her the purchase contracts, seeing the bill exceeding ten million yuan nearly made her faint from anger!
...
The office building was now completely renovated, and many office facilities had been procured.
The chairman's office was spacious, but with only two plants, it looked a bit monotonous.
Tang Xin Wan threw the car purchase contract onto the desk and said indignantly, "Ye Cang Tian, I asked you to buy cars for me, but you went and bought the best and most expensive ones, didn't you?"
Did he really think it wasn't his own money being spent?
She was truly furious enough to spit blood.
Originally, expanding the branch company required a lot of capital turnover, and Tang Xin Wan was already worrying about where to secure future investments.
Unexpectedly, Ye Cang Tian was so generous that he casually bought three luxury cars totaling ten million yuan, with one of them, a Bentley Mulsanne, costing over eight million.
This was simply adding insult to injury!
"I'm doing this for you and for the company!"
Ye Cang Tian chuckled dryly. He hadn't really thought that much at the time; it was a bit of an impulsive purchase!
Tang Xin Wan snorted, "Then tell me, how is this for the company's benefit?"
Ye Cang Tian's eyes darted around as he said with a chuckle, "Think about it, what's the difference between Kyoto and Yangzhou?"
Tang Xin Wan frowned. What did buying cars have to do with this?
Then she heard him say, "Yangzhou is just a third-tier city. As the chairwoman of Haitian Pharmaceutical, it doesn't matter what car you drive, and even if you keep a low profile, it won't have much impact on the company!"
"But Kyoto is the capital of China and its economic center. If we want Haitian Pharmaceutical to establish a foothold here, we must show our strength."
"For example, some collaborators may not be familiar with our company. Why should they cooperate with you?"
"'Clothes make the man, and gold makes the Buddha.' If you drive a crappy car worth a few hundred thousand, what will those collaborators think? They'll probably get the impression that the company lacks strength from the first meeting."
Ye Cang Tian feigned seriousness as he spoke nonsense, but it gave Tang Xin Wan a sense of clarity.
In fact, this was also a business strategy: packaging oneself and the company to gain others' trust!
Tang Xin Wan hadn't paid attention to these things before because Haitian Pharmaceutical was already a mature enterprise and didn't need packaging.
But now it was different. Haitian Pharmaceutical was opening a branch company in Kyoto, and everything was like starting from scratch. Proper packaging was naturally essential.
After understanding this, Tang Xin Wan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Ye Cang Tian with a hint of apology.
"Alright, I was wrong about you this time!"
"As husband and wife, there's no need to be so formal!" Ye Cang Tian secretly wiped away his sweat and then said shamelessly.
Seeing that this guy never missed an opportunity to take advantage of her, Tang Xin Wan glared at him fiercely. The slight apology she had finally felt vanished instantly.
She glanced at the time and then said, "Don't just wander around outside. After lunch, come with me to the recruitment site this afternoon."
Their staff had been a bit overwhelmed these past few days, and the company needed to hire quite a few new employees, so she, the behind-the-scenes boss, had to go herself.
"No problem!" Ye Cang Tian shrugged, as he had nothing else to do anyway.
Tang Xin Wan nodded, but then seemed to remember something and looked up at Ye Cang Tian, "I haven't seen that Saudi princess these past few days. Have you seen her?"
There was a potential threat at the hotel, something Tang Xin Wan had been wary of, especially given the unclear relationship between the princess and this guy.
Tang Xin Wan hadn't seen the princess since the assassination attempt on Nashibiya that night. This might have something to do with her working late these past two days.
"No, haven't seen her!" Ye Cang Tian shook his head like a rattle drum.
"I don't know what this woman is doing staying in China, not leaving even after being assassinated!" Tang Xin Wan frowned.
Then she heard Ye Cang Tian say, "She's already left. She left this morning, and she's probably on a plane right now!"
However, the moment he spoke, he choked.
Tang Xin Wan stared at him with a suspicious look, "How do you know she left? Have you seen her?"
Ye Cang Tian really wanted to slap himself. Why did he have to open his mouth!
His eyes darted around as he shook his head and explained, "I heard it from Shangguan Yun. It's not strange that he knows something this big, is it?"
Tang Xin Wan didn't know if this guy was telling the truth or not, but the Saudi princess finally leaving seemed to lift her spirits a lot.
...
After eating takeout lunch at the company, Tang Xin Wan prepared to head to the recruitment market.
Besides her and Ye Cang Tian, they brought along a girl, who was also an old employee of Haitian Pharmaceutical.
This girl was named Li An Ran, and she worked as a receptionist at Haitian Pharmaceutical. Ye Cang Tian used to chat with her often when he was a security guard there.
She had a cheerful personality and was reasonably attractive, perhaps an eight out of ten. Crucially, she came from a well-off family and was only working to experience life.
It was said that she often bought clothes and bags for her boyfriend, and even bought him a car not long ago.
However, she recently heard that she broke up with her boyfriend due to his infidelity.
So, the dejected Li An Ran voluntarily applied to transfer to the Kyoto branch.
To experience the feel of a truly top-tier luxury car, Ye Cang Tian drove out the Bentley Mulsanne.
After getting into the car, Li An Ran exclaimed in surprise, "Chairwoman, this is a Bentley Mulsanne, and it's an extended wheelbase version! The top model costs eight to nine million!"
Ye Cang Tian chuckled, "Beautiful Li, I didn't realize you knew so much about cars!"
Tang Xin Wan interjected at this point, explaining, "An Ran's family are car dealers, so naturally, she knows a lot about cars."
"That impressive? A second-generation heiress!" Ye Cang Tian secretly clicked his tongue. No wonder she was buying bags and cars for her boyfriend.
With such a wealthy family, why was she still working?
This Bentley Mulsanne truly lived up to its reputation as a top-tier luxury car. Even the driving experience was a pleasure.
With the windows closed, hardly any noise could be heard inside, which was very comfortable!
Even Tang Xin Wan, who had previously felt the car was too expensive, couldn't help but increase her satisfaction with it.
An hour later, the three arrived at the recruitment market.
As they drove the Bentley Mulsanne into the parking area, many people's eyes were drawn to the car.
Kyoto was a place where hidden talents abounded, and there were many wealthy individuals. Naturally, there were also many who could afford such top-tier luxury cars. However, in a place like a recruitment market, it was quite rare.
After getting out of the car, Tang Xin Wan felt the gazes from those around her and couldn't help but frown, "This car feels a bit too ostentatious!"
