Chapter 365 - 365 Director Shen, Things Are Bad!
365 Director Shen, Things Are Bad!
Shen Ruojing didn’t listen to their conversation clearly because her mobile phone also rang out at this moment. She lowered her head and saw that Lu Hui had sent her a text: [Boss, you got me to pay attention to the raw materials from overseas. They have a problem today!]
Since she had previously told Chu Cichen that his bacteria materials would surely be okay, Shen Ruojing got Lu Hui to get someone to specially check their companies overseas.
Now, the news were here.
After they discovered traces of this, they immediately reported the news back.
However, the Shen Family probably had no idea about this yet!
Shen Ruojing then put her phone down and saw Chu Cichen doing the same thing. After the two exchanged a mutual glance, Chu Cichen suddenly asked, “Do you want to take a seat upstairs?”
Shen Ruojing was leading a life of retirement and had nothing to do even if she were to head back. Since she had already come here…
She thus nodded.
After she got down the car with Chu Cichen and entered the Chu Corporation’s building, she saw the people in the reception area immediately standing up straight with looks of respect and worship in their gazes.
However, after they saw Shen Ruojing, the will to gossip immediately rose in their hearts.
After Chu Cichen brought Shen Ruojing into the lift, the receptionist immediately took out her phone and sent a text to the group chat: [CEO Chu brought a beauty here today!!!!!]
CEO Chu was a very famous wealthy man in their company.
Most of the staff in the Chu Corporation came from Sea City, but some were recruited from the capital. Usually, Chu Cichen would appear cold and emotionless, so no one dared to get close to him.
Also, some people were pondering why he had three children despite not having a wife and why he had yet to marry his fiancee. They were guessing whether he didn’t like his fiancee.
And these comments lasted until today when Chu Cichen finally brought Shen Ruojing to the company. It instantly caused a commotion!
Everyone started asking:
——Is she really pretty?
The receptionist: [She’s more beautiful than celebrities!!]
Earlier, she had surveyed Shen Ruojing from a close distance.
Shen Ruojing’s skin was fair and tender, and she had elegant features. Although the jacket she wore was casual in appearance, it looked extremely good on her.
She was tall but wasn’t as skinny as those celebrities in reality. Moreover, without makeup, her bare face was already exquisite. She exuded a sense of lonesome, yet her beauty was soul-stirring!
When she was walking together with CEO Chu, her aura wasn’t suppressed by Chu Cichen’s in the slightest. When standing together, they exuded an effect where one plus one was greater than two!
The receptionist felt that…they were too compatible. They could even act in idol dramas!
When the CEO’s secretary head received the news, she craned her neck and saw that the elevator had come to a stop on her floor. After that, a good-looking couple walked into the CEO’s office.
CEO Chu who had always assumed an icy appearance was actually opening the door for the woman carefully and gently said, “Jingjing, please feel free to enter.”
Everyone. “!!”
Was their CEO’s soul stolen?
Everyone immediately turned to look at the secretary head.
The secretary head knocked on the door and entered before respectfully asking, “CEO Chu, what do you want to drink today?”
Usually, the man would mutter ‘anything’ in a cold manner. But at this moment, CEO Chu actually said, “Make a flask of tea and add black goji berries, longan, and ginseng slices…”
After carefully instructing his secretary head, he turned to look at the woman. “Do you think this is okay?”
The woman sat on the sofa and crossed her legs, constituting a pleasant sight. She had her head lowered and was looking at her phone. But after hearing his question, her clear peach blossom eyes turned over and asked, “Do you have weak kidneys?”
The secretary head, “!!”
She had never seen someone who dared to speak to CEO Chu like this before!
She had originally thought that CEO Chu was going to lose his temper. But she hadn’t expected that his expression didn’t change, and he even laughed it off as he explained, “The tea is for you to drink.”
“Oh, in that case, there’s no need to add ginseng slices or longan, or it would be too heaty.”
After saying that, she looked at the secretary head. “Use any type of tea you have and add goji berries. Thanks.”
Her voice was cool and clear, a complete copy of the aura she emanated. The secretary head immediately nodded and left. At the same time, she was wondering in her heart who Shen Ruojing was exactly. Why was CEO Chu so polite toward her?!
Just when everyone in the Chu Corporation was guessing who Shen Ruojing was, the Shen Family was currently divided by internal conflict.
In Shen Zhong’s office.
Shen Chong sat on the sofa and had a fake smile on his face. “Elder brother, our business in the pharmaceutical industry has always been controlled by foreign companies. As for the original materials, they have never allowed us to produce them ourselves. So logically, now that the Chu Corporation manages to do so locally, we should support them. I believe that our uncle would surely support a domestic company too. I’m afraid that it is a bad idea when you gave the order to forbid anyone from trading with the Chu Corporation.”
Shen Yuansong was a famous businessman who loved supporting domestic companies.
Back then, if it wasn’t for the fact he had to return to take over the family business, he probably would become a top character in agricultural science!
Now, the raw materials they used to manufacture medicine were sourced from overseas, and the foreigners had tight control over the techniques and methods used to nurture the raw materials. The foreigners didn’t want them to be able to produce the materials themselves.
Hence, all these years, the Shen Family had been investing in research and encouraged big and small businesses to focus on this. They also donated many labs to schools and provided funding. However, they didn’t succeed yet.
Now that the Chu Corporation had done it, if Shen Yuansong was the person in charge of this matter, he would definitely support them.
Anyway, when Shen Zhong heard this, he coldly laughed. “It is the first time they succeeded in nurturing the bacteria. As for the quality and whether the bacteria is usable or not, no one knows! It isn’t guaranteed, unlike our sources from overseas!”
Shen Chong laughed. “I don’t think it is a problem with quality. Since they dare to sell it, their materials definitely must have reached international standards. I think you are too biased and want to take revenge.”
Shen Zhong asked, “So? Your niece’s leg is crippled and as an uncle, you actually want to cooperate with the culprit?”
Shen Chong sighed. “Big brother, you can’t let your emotions rule you when doing business. Right now, since the raw materials from the Chu Corporation cannot be sold, it is a great opportunity for us to profit immensely. Since you have a grudge against them, why don’t I go and negotiate this with them?”
Shen Zhong’s gaze was filled with wariness. “How will you negotiate?”
Shen Chong replied, “We can purchase their raw materials, but they have to provide the recipe!”
Shen Zhong sneered. “They are not fools, why would they agree?”
Shen Chong leaned forward. “So, isn’t this a great opportunity? Big brother, you can go and spread your words and tell no one to purchase them. I’ll immediately go and negotiate. The Chu Family is in a crisis now, so they will definitely agree to my conditions. At that time, we will seize their recipe and technology, purchasing everything together, alongside poaching their research personnel. Uncle will surely be happy!”
Shen Zhong narrowed his eyes. “So, uncle’s impression of you will be greater, right? You want me to be the bad person so you can claim the credit?”
Shen Chong laughed. “How can you put this so unpleasantly? We are doing this for the Shen Family’s sake. We should be able to purchase their raw materials at around 70% of the price…”
Shen Zhong coldly laughed. “Sure, but I can only let you offer 10%.”
Shen Chong frowned. “Big brother, 10% is too low, so they will definitely suffer financial losses. How about 60%? I’m sure they can accept such a price!”
“20%! The Chu Corporation cannot sell raw materials right now, so giving them 20% is already a gift from us! They will have to staunch their bleeding hearts and accept it no matter what!”
“Let’s set it at 50%…By doing so, the Chu Corporation will be able to make quite a lot of money, and we can take over everything from them. Before uncle, we will just claim that this is your idea. That’s fine, right? After all, we are doing this for our family. Brother, you shouldn’t object.”
Shen Zhong frowned and had a look of reluctance on his face.
Just when the two were discussing the price, the door of the office was suddenly knocked open, and the manager who was in charge of oversea purchases rushed in. “Director Shen, things are bad!!”
