"My new medicine?" Joseph asked.
"Mr. Joseph, I saved you for the sake of the new medicine. Now it's up to you to decide if my favor is worth the price of your new medicine," Wang Chao said calmly.
New medicine?
Shen Bing's expression changed upon hearing this.
She looked at Wang Chao, then at Joseph, her eyes filled with astonishment.
Even if she were a fool, she could understand at this moment that when Wang Chao went to the ship last night, it wasn't to indulge in women but to save someone.
But how come she didn't have any news about such a big event?
Joseph frowned and said, "Mr. Wang, you have to understand that this new medicine is related to the company's interests, and I..."
"If you can provide the new medicine, I guarantee you will have no more erectile dysfunction in the future," Wang Chao interrupted.
Joseph's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.
He had come to see Wang Chao and Shen Bing prepared to hand over the new medicine already.
However, being an old fox, he wouldn't easily hand over his research results. He naturally wanted to negotiate for some benefits.
Wang Chao's words at this moment made him sense a new business opportunity. Maybe he could negotiate further with Wang Chao and secure even more benefits.
So, he pretended to be contemplative and said, "But my new medicine..."
"Since Mr. Joseph feels that the stakes are not suitable, then please leave."
Wang Chao didn't give Joseph a chance to negotiate at all. He picked up the teapot and poured a full cup of tea for Joseph.
Joseph's face turned pale.
He was well-versed in the way of tea and knew that when the tea was poured to the brim, it was a sign of being shown the door.
"Wang Chao, you..." Shen Bing's expression also changed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"President Shen, is that what you think as well?" Wang Chao looked up at Shen Bing.
Shen Bing, being astute, immediately understood what Wang Chao's gaze meant. She stopped being anxious and made a gesture of invitation, saying, "Mr. Joseph, please."
Joseph was once again taken aback.
Why was Shen Bing also trying to send him away? Didn't she want the new medicine anymore?
Wang Chao didn't even look at Joseph. He calmly drank his own tea.
When dealing with such an old fox, it was best to be straightforward. Once you started beating around the bush, who knew where this seasoned business fox would lead you.
Seeing Shen Bing and Wang Chao's attitude, Joseph furrowed his brow slightly, didn't even drink the tea, stood up, bid a polite farewell to Wang Chao and Shen Bing, and then turned to leave.
Although he had prepared to hand over the new medicine, he had been thinking about how to maximize his own benefits just a moment ago.
Wang Chao's attitude left him feeling displeased. He wanted to buy more time and negotiate later.
"Mr. Joseph, you know your own health."
Just as Joseph was about to step out of the room, Wang Chao suddenly spoke, "In 12 hours, your condition will relapse."
"By then, your organ functions will be permanently lost, and even I won't be able to continue treating you."
"Figure out what to do yourself."
Joseph's face changed as he heard Wang Chao's words, and he paused for a moment, his expression darkening.
He knew that Wang Chao meant he only had twelve hours to consider.
"I refuse to believe that you're the only one who can treat this illness," Joseph thought to himself.
However, he remained calm on the surface and said lightly, "Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Wang."
After speaking, he left directly.
Wang Chao watched Joseph's figure and smiled faintly.
Dealing with an old fox like Joseph required no mercy and no beating around the bush. Being straightforward and leaving him with no way out was the best approach.
Furthermore, the new medicine from Tian Shen Pharmaceutical Group was of great significance, and Joseph wouldn't easily hand it over.
Wang Chao was patient and willing to wait for Joseph to compromise.
Shen Bing closed the door and returned to sit across from Wang Chao. She looked at him deeply, feeling guilty, and said, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you last night."
She had thought that Wang Chao had gone to the ship to engage in pleasure and play with women, which led to their disagreement and separation.
Now, Joseph's arrival had made everything clear to her, and she understood that Wang Chao had gone there to save Joseph.
She didn't know the specifics, but it was certain that Wang Chao had indeed saved someone. Otherwise, someone like Joseph, who demanded a 10% stake in her company, would not bow down so submissively in front of Wang Chao.
Wang Chao took a sip of tea and handed a cup to Shen Bing, saying, "Did you think I went there last night to play with women?"
Shen Bing blushed.
Was Wang Chao being too direct with his words?
If he went out to have fun, why did he have to mention playing with women? Wasn't he deliberately embarrassing her?
She whispered, "It's because of the way you spoke last night. You made it sound like you knew those women very well, so I misunderstood you."
Wang Chao put down his teacup and spoke earnestly, "President Shen, we are in this together, on the same front. So, let me share some information with you."
"You're aware of my background as a mercenary. In the past, due to mission requirements, I have frequented various places, such as dens of devilish trades, drug lairs, underground casinos, brothels, places of hell, military bases, and luxurious palaces. I've been to all of them."
"Moreover, for the sake of missions, I have gathered a wealth of information and data on various individuals in these places, big and small."
"I have a rich and colorful understanding of things, and I have witnessed and experienced more human suffering than you can imagine in a lifetime."
"I have been to hell and experienced it firsthand. I used to be a part of hell. Therefore, I am well acquainted with many gray industries and particularly dark sectors."
"When I speak up for them, it's because I know that many of them have no choice."
"Most importantly, I'm not the kind of person who indulges recklessly. Every action I take has its own purpose."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Do you understand what I'm trying to say?"
His voice was incredibly sincere, and everything he said was true.
While speaking, he kept looking into Shen Bing's eyes, sincere and bright.
He had never veiled his background from her.
"You've been to hell?"
Shen Bing stared directly into Wang Chao's eyes and thought about the scars on his body, instantly feeling a softness in her heart.
Wang Chao nodded.
"You must have endured a lot during that time," Shen Bing's eyes showed compassion.
"Not too bad," Wang Chao replied.
Shen Bing looked at Wang Chao, thinking about the scars on his body, and felt even more pained.
Seeing so many wounds would make anyone feel immense pain, yet Wang Chao spoke about them so casually, as if those pains were never experienced by him.
"You've had a long day. Why don't you rest and recharge? Tomorrow will be a tough battle," Wang Chao suggested.
Shen Bing looked at Wang Chao and suddenly said, "I desire to go to the casino on the ship. Can you accompany me?"
"Huh?" Wang Chao was taken aback.
"I've never been to a casino before and I desire to see it for myself."
"Looking for some excitement?"
"Not exactly. I just desire to experience it," Shen Bing said.
Earlier, Wang Chao mentioned his missions in underground casinos, and since there was a casino here as well, she wanted to experience what Wang Chao had gone through.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Chao finished his tea, nodded, and said, "Alright, let's go and take a look then."
If there were any infiltrators from the Blood Demon Mercenary Corps, they would most likely be wandering in the casino. He could take the opportunity to search for clues and see if he encountered anyone from the mercenary group.
"Wait a moment, let me change into a new outfit."
Shen Bing was delighted and immediately went back to her bedroom to put on a particularly attractive and casual dress. Then, she affectionately took Wang Chao's arm with a blossoming smile and said, "Let's go."
