"Father, do you have..." Shen Dongshan quickly asked, eager for an answer.
Knowing Shen Tianhuan's character, he was always cunning and strategic, never suffering a complete defeat even when facing Lafayette. He always kept a lifeline to turn the tide.
Now, seeing Shen Tianhuan willingly relinquish the shares, it indicated that he must have some contingency plan to regain control. Shen Dongshan wanted to know what Shen Tianhuan's next move was.
"You worthless fool, shut up!" Shen Tianhuan coldly glanced at Shen Dongshan and spoke in a deep voice, "Shen Deng, take your father to the hospital for treatment. He's covered in blood. What kind of image does that present?"
"Remember, take the elevator without any clients. Don't embarrass the Shen family!"
Shen Dongshan finally realized that he was injured and his expression contorted in pain as he let out a miserable cry.
Shen Deng didn't hesitate and quickly supported Shen Dongshan, rushing out of the meeting room towards the hospital.
"A contingency plan, huh? Heh."
Shen Tianhuan stared at the backs of the father and son, his gaze as profound as the night sky, revealing neither joy nor sorrow.
In the CEO's office of Danfeng Group.
Shen Bing glared at Wang Chao with a displeased expression. "Why didn't you inform me before feigning death?"
Liu Yifei did the same, giving Wang Chao a fierce glare. "Tell me, why did you pretend to be dead like that?"
She pouted, fuming with anger, as if she wanted to devour Wang Chao.
When she learned of Wang Chao's 'death', she was genuinely heartbroken, shedding tears of sorrow. For the past few days, her face had been drenched in tears, feeling as though she had lost the most important thing in the world.
Discovering Wang Chao's resurrection during the meeting today filled her with excitement.
Experiencing such drastic ups and downs in such a short period of time was both exhilarating and made her want to beat Wang Chao mercilessly.
Pretending to be dead, at least give her a heads-up. It scared her half to death, and she shed so many tears. Just thinking about it made her feel resentful.
"I already mentioned it when I was in the R&D department, didn't I?" Wang Chao replied.
"You didn't tell me!" Liu Yifei fumed.
"That was my mistake, I'm sorry. I thought Shen Bing would inform you," Wang Chao said.
"Shen Bing knew too?" Liu Yifei looked at Shen Bing with a puzzled expression.
"I faked my death as part of the plan while I was in the R&D department. The purpose was to deceive Shen Dongshan, make him lower his guard, and then strike unexpectedly during today's board meeting," Wang Chao explained.
Liu Yifei became even angrier upon hearing this, glaring at both Wang Chao and Shen Bing. "Then why didn't you tell me?"
As she spoke, she kept her gaze fixed on Shen Bing.
Shen Bing smiled and said, "Your acting skills are so terrible. I was worried that you wouldn't be able to cry when you found out the truth. If you revealed the truth, it wouldn't be good."
Liu Yifei, upon hearing this, became furious and glared at Shen Bing with intense anger. "What kind of best friends are we? You kept such a big secret from me, you jerk! Am I that bad at acting?"
"Your acting is excellent, alright? But I don't have time to argue about this now. I have to go to the reception room. Joseph is waiting for me there."
Shen Bing remained calm, stood up, and walked towards the exit.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Liu Manager, I'm leaving too," Wang Chao said calmly.
After speaking, he followed Shen Bing's footsteps and headed towards the reception room.
Joseph came to find Shen Bing out of respect, and no matter what, Shen Bing wanted to stay by Joseph's side to give him some face. This would make their collaboration much smoother.
Liu Yifei sat in the office, watching Wang Chao and Shen Bing's departing figures, scratching her head with a puzzled expression. She murmured to herself, "I saw Shen Bing crying so sorrowfully before, tears streaming down her face. Was that all an act?"
"When did her acting become so good?"
She couldn't understand it at all.
Yesterday, Shen Bing appeared genuinely heartbroken, crying more sorrowfully than herself. Liu Yifei even comforted her, but now it seemed like it was all a performance?
Shen Bing's crying was so convincing, it was too powerful.
"Shen Bing must have kept something from me. Maybe she took acting lessons from a specialized teacher," Liu Yifei speculated.
"Wow, she must want to enter the entertainment industry and compete with popular actresses like Wang Zuxian and Yang Mi!"
As if she had remembered something, Liu Yifei slapped her thigh, her eyes gleaming, and whispered, "No, if Shen Bing is entering the entertainment industry, I can't fall behind."
"I should learn acting too, and I want to enter the entertainment industry!"
With that in mind, she immediately took out her phone and called her grandfather. "Grandpa, it's me, Feifei. Can you help me find the best actor? I want to learn acting."
"Why do you want to learn that?" a kind and grandfatherly voice came through the phone.
"I don't care. I want to learn. Will you help me or not?"
"Of course, Feifei is my most precious granddaughter. How could I not help you? After tomorrow, the celebrity teacher will come to your house. But I have a small request."
"What request?"
"Sikong Yun is about to be crowned king, and his son will return to the country in a couple of days. I heard that his son is still unmarried, and he's the famous Sikong young master. How about arranging for you two to meet?"
"No way!"
Without a second thought, Liu Yifei immediately refused. "Grandpa, I have the right to decide my own marriage. I don't like your arranged blind dates. Please stop doing that in the future!"
After saying that, she hung up the phone, feeling annoyed and frustrated.
Lately, her family had been arranging numerous blind dates for her, almost two every day. The suitors were either prestigious figures from renowned families or young military commanders from the war department.
Now her grandfather had gone too far by arranging a meeting with Sikong Yun's son.
Who cared about the Sikong young master? She didn't like him at all!
If she had to arrange a blind date, she thought Wang Chao would be a good option.
"By the way, that guy Wang Chao fooled me with his fake death and made me shed so many tears. I can use him as a shield to resist all these arranged blind dates my family keeps setting up for me!"
Liu Yifei's eyes lit up with excitement as she muttered to herself, "Great, this idea is perfect! I truly am a genius!"
"That's the plan!"
In the reception room of Danfeng Group:
Shen Bing and Wang Chao arrived together to meet Joseph.
"Mr. Wang, Miss Shen, it's been a long time," Joseph greeted them warmly, shaking hands with both Shen Bing and Wang Chao. He was extremely excited and said, "Miss Shen, I personally came here with sincere intentions to cooperate with you."
"In seven days, our Tian Shen Pharmaceutical Group will have a great future pharmaceutical exhibition in the White Eagle Country. We sincerely invite your company to attend."
"In seven days? To the White Eagle Country?" Shen Bing's eyes brightened with joy. "Joseph, are you not joking?"
She had wanted to visit her brother in the White Eagle Country for a long time, but there were so many things to handle in Danfeng Group. She had many business matters to attend to, and if she wasn't careful, Shen Dongshan would take credit for her work.
Therefore, she had always been cautious and alert.
Now that she had resolved the trouble caused by Shen Dongshan, and she held significant power, if there was an invitation from Joseph to visit the White Eagle Country, it would be perfect. She could also visit her brother at the Massachusetts General Hospital. It couldn't get any better than this.
"President Shen, do I look like I'm joking?" Joseph chuckled.
Shen Bing eagerly grasped Joseph's hands and exclaimed, "Great, Joseph, we will definitely attend in seven days!"
"Good, I will immediately inform our colleagues in the White Eagle Country and register you," Joseph said.
"Thank you, thank you so much," Shen Bing expressed her gratitude with delight.
"Let's discuss this matter later. I am conducting market research these days and found that your company's Ziyin Pill is excellent, as well as another medication. Our company is interested in becoming your overseas distributor."
Joseph smiled and said, "Therefore, let's talk about how we can cooperate and mutually benefit."
He pulled Shen Bing to sit down and discussed the details of the collaboration.
Since the Swan Cruise incident, he had been paying special attention to Danfeng Group. He personally conducted extensive research and purchased Ziyin Pills and Scar Removal Cream for his research team to study.
The research results surprised them. The ingredients in these two medications were common and widely used in the market. However, when these elements were combined, the functionality was beyond imagination.
In other words, if they obtained the formula and authorization for these two medications, they could mass-produce them and make a substantial profit.
It was because of their interest in the market for these two medications, combined with Wang Chao's identity and background, that Joseph personally visited and negotiated with Shen Bing.
They talked for a long time, finalizing all the cooperation details. Under the witness of their respective lawyers, they signed a cooperation contract of almost ten pages.
"President Shen, it's been a pleasure to cooperate. From today onwards, we are on the same team. Please take care of us in the future," Joseph shook Shen Bing's hand and said with a smile, "Especially regarding the safety at sea."
Shen Bing's mouth opened, but she couldn't say a word. She couldn't guarantee anything regarding safety at sea.
At that moment, Wang Chao calmly spoke up, "Don't worry. As long as you are affiliated with Danfeng Group as partners, I guarantee the safety of your vessels in the Pacific Ocean."
Joseph's face lit up with joy upon hearing Wang Chao's words. He hurried over and shook hands with Wang Chao, saying with a smile, "Great, with Mr. Wang's assurance, I feel relieved."
In Joseph's eyes, Wang Chao had a close relationship with the Nightfall Mercenary Corps, the world's top mercenary group. They had military bases worldwide and held an unrivaled position in the Pacific Ocean.
By standing with Shen Bing, who cooperated with Wang Chao, it was as if Joseph was also collaborating with Wang Chao. This was done to secure a strong backing for his company at sea.
With Wang Chao's guarantee, Joseph achieved his goal.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn the end, Joseph left in high spirits. Before departing, he thanked Shen Bing profusely. His attitude was so warm that anyone who did not know the situation would think Shen Bing was his savior.
After seeing Joseph off, Shen Bing looked at Wang Chao with a puzzled expression. "Why did he ask us to provide sea protection?"
Wang Chao took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, preparing to light it.
Unexpectedly, Shen Bing produced a lighter and personally ignited the cigarette for him.
Wang Chao looked at Shen Bing in surprise, then lit the cigarette with the flame and took a puff. He casually said, "As far as I know, the Pacific Ocean has been restless lately."
"What do you mean by restless?"
"I've heard that there's a group of powerful pirates robbing the cargo of major conglomerates, aristocratic families, and large corporations, and then selling the goods at a high price. I suspect Joseph's vessels encountered this problem."
"How do you know?" Shen Bing looked at Wang Chao with even more curiosity.
During this period, Wang Chao had been lying in a so-called morgue, and even his phone had been taken away. How did he know about the news?
Wang Chao smiled and said, "I have my ways."
Shen Bing immediately understood. Wang Chao didn't desire to disclose his source.
So, she tactfully refrained from asking further and simply looked at Wang Chao gratefully, saying, "Thank you. What would you like to eat tonight? My treat."
The cooperation with Tian Shen Pharmaceutical Group was the biggest deal Danfeng Group had secured in years. Not only did they receive a capital injection of billions of dollars, but they also obtained an great opportunity for their Dragon Kingdom pharmaceutical products to enter the White Eagle Country's market.
Frankly speaking, if handled properly, once Danfeng Group establishes a strong foothold in the White Eagle Country, the company's stock price is bound to soar and perhaps reach its peak.
Wang Chao had made significant contributions this time!
Therefore, Shen Bing wanted to reward Wang Chao generously.
Wang Chao glanced at the time and said, "Well, I have plans tonight."
Yesterday, when he faked his death, he had stood up his date with Guan Zhilin. Today, during the confrontation between Shen Bing, Shen Tianhuan, and others, he managed to retrieve his phone and contacted Guan Zhilin to arrange a dinner tonight.
He had no choice but to decline Shen Bing's invitation.
Shen Bing looked at Wang Chao, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes.
It was the first time she had invited Wang Chao, and he rejected her. Naturally, it did not sit well with her.
She pretended to ask calmly, "A beauty has a date?"
"Something like that," Wang Chao replied.
Guan Zhilin was indeed very beautiful, undoubtedly a stunning beauty.
Upon hearing his response, Shen Bing's heart suddenly tightened with pain. It felt like a stone pressing against her chest, making it difficult to breathe. Her eyes reddened, and tears almost welled up.
She forced herself to suppress the discomfort within and managed to squeeze out a smile that veiled her sadness. "Then I wish you both a pleasant time."
"Wang Chao!"
Just as she was about to say something, Liu Yifei suddenly rushed over from the company, panting for breath.
"Why are you in such a hurry? What's the matter?" Wang Chao looked at Liu Yifei with a puzzled expression.
Liu Yifei affectionately grabbed Wang Chao's arm and said, "I have something to discuss with you. Let's talk privately."
After speaking, she pulled Wang Chao's hand and walked to the side.
As Shen Bing watched them holding hands, her heart tightened with pain once again, intensifying the discomfort in her chest.
