Chapter 1764 Ian Saw Right Through It

Being a medical practitioner, Sasha had taught them a lot about first aid throughout the years.

As such, Ian was able to get his wound treated fairly quickly all by himself.

Yvonne, who had been waiting for him outside, asked worriedly when she saw him come out of the room at last,

“Mr. Ian, are you sure you don’t need to get this treated at a hospital?”

“That won’t be necessary. Now, let’s get down to business,” Ian replied as he sat down at the table with his laptop.

The employees that came over to help him out knew better than to say anything further as they joined him at the

table.

“Mr. Ian, what happened is—”

Ian, who was still staring at his laptop, cut her off by saying, “You can drop the formalities. From here on, just call

me ‘Ian.’“

The employees froze in surprise for a brief moment before smiling again.

“Right, of course. Let us get down to business, then. We’ve conducted a field study on this project two days ago. We

spoke to the person in charge as well, but he raised the price the moment he found out that we’re from Hayes

Corporation.”

“How much?” Ian asked coldly without even looking away from his laptop.

Yvonne held up two fingers as she replied, “He’s asking for an additional twenty million on top of the original price.”

Twenty million? Heh…

Ian had an icy-cold look in his eyes as he said, “In that case, let him continue to try and sell it. See if he can find

another buyer willing to pay that much for it.”

“But…”

Yvonne fell speechless upon hearing that.

Another employee from the operational department protested anxiously, “That building is located in a very

strategic spot! Someone else will snag it if we don’t make our move in time!”

“Why are you being so desperate? They’re raising the price ridiculously high precisely because they saw your

desperation. Given Hayes Corporation’s reputation, no one would dare compete with us if you put word out about

this. Besides, if the location really is that great, our company is perfectly capable of setting up another commercial

district next to it.”

Although Ian had only joined the company not long ago, his words had hit the nail on the head and shocked the

employees to the core.

That level of brilliance and charisma… He’s practically a miniature version of Sebastian Hayes! The apple really

doesn’t fall far from the tree!

The meeting was ended shortly after, and the employees made their way out of the house. As everyone was

preparing to leave in the car, Yvonne texted someone while nobody was looking.

Yvonne: Mission failed. This kid saw right through our plans.

Anonymous: What do you mean? Didn’t he just join the company not long ago?

Yvonne: Yes, but he just told us to ignore the price offered. Said he’d just build another commercial district next to it

if someone else purchases the building.

Anonymous: D*mn it!

That was the last message Yvonne received from the anonymous person she was texting.

Ian wasn’t able to sleep well that night due to the pain in his leg.

Susan came over with breakfast very early the next morning after finding out about it from her brother.

“What happened to you, Ian? Are you all right? I’m so sorry I wasn’t able to send you home last night! Come on,

show me the wound! How is it?”

She was so worried about him that she ran straight to his bedroom with her backpack still on.

Ian was still in bed at the time, so he hid under the blanket out of awkwardness when he saw her coming in.

“I’m fine, Aunt Susan…”

Timothy had just gotten out of bed in the room next to Ian’s when he heard how worried Susan was.

“It’s just a sprained ankle, that’s all. I’ve already treated it yesterday, so he’ll be fine,” he explained casually.

Those words had barely left his mouth when Susan smacked him hard on the back of his head.

“I’m surprised you’ve got the cheek to word it so casually! Why didn’t you tell me about this sooner? Don’t you

know that we’re his only family around here?”

Susan did not hold back at all when it came to lecturing her younger brother.

In the end, all Timothy could do was run off to fetch some ointment while Susan began examining Ian’s ankle.

The injury was actually quite severe, and the poor blood circulation due to Ian’s lack of exercise caused the swelling

to worsen overnight.

“Ian, how about you take a day off from school? Get some rest at home, and I’ll take you to a hospital afterward,”

Susan suggested.
