Free Web NovelChapter 186: Chapter 186: Resort to a Sneaky Trick
"Mr. Wang, I now realize my mistake, please be generous and don’t hold this against me!"
Ma Boyuan was also intimidated by Wang Hao, and immediately offered an apology without waiting for Wang Hao to speak.
The sight of his pitiful, sullen face was even uglier than crying.
Seeing this, Chen Hongying and Qin Xi also felt uncomfortable, though they didn’t want to admit it, they were helpless against Wang Hao.
"Mr. Wang, from now on, when our Xiangbei shop purchases herbs, we will first consider sourcing from your company, what do you think?"
Having no other choice, Ma Boyuan could only try to tempt Wang Hao with benefits.
Chen Hongying and Qin Xi were startled upon hearing this, and quickly stood up, wanting to argue, but were fiercely glared at by Ma Boyuan and stood there, not daring to move.
This was about the life and death of both himself and the entire Xiangbei shop; Ma Boyuan would not yield to anyone this time.
Qin Xi saw what Ma Boyuan was thinking and quickly pulled Chen Hongying, who was already on the edge of her temper.
Although Wang Hao hadn’t directly confronted Chen Hongying this time, both Zhou Kun and Ma Boyuan were inherently linked to her interests. They both were overwhelmed by Wang Hao’s presence.
This time, Wang Hao had easily and effortlessly defeated Chen Hongying.
"Wang Hao, let’s see how long you can be pleased with yourself, we’ll see!"
After dropping these words, Chen Hongying stormed out.
Qin Xi couldn’t even hold her back and could only follow her out the door.
Zhou Kun found it pointless to stay any longer and took the opportunity to leave as well.
Only the interests of the Xiangbei shop and Le Tian Group were tied together, so in the end, only the three of them had a meal together.
Upon leaving the hotel, Chen Hongying got directly into her car and drove back to the company, so angry she didn’t even eat lunch.
Once in her office, she let out all her anger, flinging the documents on her desk to the floor.
Before long, the entire office looked as though it had been through a fierce battle.
"Hongying, try to calm down!"
Qin Xi could only advise from the side, rather than step forward to stop Chen Hongying, letting her vent her anger.
"Why? In what way am I not as good as him?"
After throwing the last file, Chen Hongying exclaimed loudly.
"I’ve struggled for more than a decade to achieve what I have today. That newbie, Wang Hao, surpassed me in less than a month, can you tell me why?"
What Chen Hongying couldn’t accept the most was how Wang Hao, in such a short time, almost became the number one figure in the herbal medicine industry of Chicheng County. Now all the attention had shifted from Chen Hongying to Wang Hao.
Chen Hongying couldn’t bear the thought of Wang Hao usurping her from the pinnacle of success.
"Ah—"
Chen Hongying collapsed to the ground, letting out a scream to express her dissatisfaction.
Seeing this, Qin Xi’s heart ached, and he quickly went to hug and comfort Chen Hongying. frёewebηovel.cѳm
He looked at Chen Hongying’s pale face, a flash of guilt crossing his eyes.
"I’m sorry, Hongying, it’s my fault for not handling things properly. Give me some time, I will definitely avenge you!"
Hearing this, Chen Hongying suddenly looked up, her gaze as cold as a blade. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
"Revenge? Heh, do you think it’s as easy as killing someone? Do you still have the face to say you want to avenge me? Qin Xi, don’t forget who you are!"
"Now he has the county head and Le Tian Group backing him, can you compete with that?"
"Hongying..."
Qin Xi faltered, unable to continue.
Chen Hongying had already clashed with Wang Hao three times, and every time she received no benefits, ending in failure. This made Chen Hongying very dissatisfied.
She sat on the sofa, pondering over and over in her head how she could possibly win against Wang Hao and get her revenge.
Just then, Ma Boyuan arrived at Chen Hongying’s company.
"How did you guys not remind me and almost got me killed? If I offend Zhang Xuepin, you’ll not end well either!"
As soon as Ma Boyuan entered the office, he began to complain.
Listening to Ma Boyuan’s complaints, Chen Hongying didn’t argue back, since arguing now was pointless anyway.
The only one to blame was Wang Hao, their formidable opponent; they had underestimated him greatly.
"Manager Ma, please calm down!"
Seeing that Ma Boyuan’s anger had not subsided, Qin Xi quickly poured him a glass of water.
Only after Ma Boyuan had finished drinking and his mood had somewhat settled did Qin Xi tentatively ask him.
"Manager Ma, you wouldn’t really consider sourcing the traditional Chinese medicines from Wang Hao first, would you?"
Chen Hongying also leaned in eagerly, looking at Ma Boyuan with anticipation.
For Chen Hongying, whether to make this deal or make money wasn’t the priority; the most important thing was to see Wang Hao’s defeated expression—to make him taste failure!
"Rest assured, what I said back then was just a pretext, just to save face for Zhang Xuepin. At this time, where could Wang Hao get so much traditional Chinese medicine from?"
Ma Boyuan gave the two a disdainful look, as if doubting the intelligence of Chen Hongying and Qin Xi.
Hearing Ma Boyuan say this made Chen Hongying feel relieved.
It seemed that Qin Xi transporting several truckloads of traditional Chinese medicine from the south was indeed prescient; now they finally had a chance to beat Wang Hao.
"When will the traditional Chinese medicines you’ve dispatched from the south arrive?"
Ma Boyuan asked.
"In about two or three days. To avoid leaking any information, we didn’t take the highway to prevent inspections, taking the back roads makes it less likely to be discovered!"
Qin Xi hurriedly explained.
"Yes, the suspicions are high right now, we definitely can’t let the higher-ups find out!"
After saying this, Ma Boyuan quietly raised a finger to his lips, gesturing towards "the higher-ups."
This time, the medicines being sold to neighboring countries around the northern area of Xiangbei to those engaged in war fetched high prices and had low quality requirements, meaning sure profits, and maybe even a windfall.
But such unfair trade was forbidden by the state, so their actions in Xiangbei must be exceedingly cautious.
"Manager Ma, rest assured, we’ll make sure to bring them back safely!"
Qin Xi guaranteed, patting his chest.
Chen Hongying was so infuriated by Wang Hao she was not thinking straight, fully aware that such actions were illegal and the consequences unimaginable if caught.
However, the prospect of crushing Wang Hao’s arrogant bravado in front of her was too tempting; she was ready to take the risk.
To maintain her position as the big boss of the traditional Chinese medicine world in Chicheng County, Chen Hongying was all in!
"This time, we must show Wang Hao some color. I think we should make the news of the purchase public, the bigger the commotion, the better. It’d be best if everyone in the streets and alleys knew about it!"
Suddenly, Qin Xi let out a sly laugh, a cunning plan forming in his mind.
"Once the traditional Chinese medicines enter the Xiangbei region, I don’t care how much noise you make, but don’t you dare let anything happen to them on the road!"
Ma Boyuan warned again.
"You can count on us!"
Qin Xi said confidently.
"I’ll go rent a warehouse near Wang Hao’s company now. Once the traditional Chinese medicines arrive, we’ll make the trade right in front of his company. Before that, we’ll heavily promote it, so that the whole population of Chicheng County knows about it."
"Moreover, anyone coming to the trade fair can not only visit for free but also receive free gifts! When the public sees that Wang Hao has nothing, while we’ve stockpiled two full truckloads, they’ll know who’s the most impressive in Chicheng County!"
Qin Xi detailed his plan thoroughly.
"That’s a good idea. I just want to make Wang Hao lose face, to shame him thoroughly, and see what tricks he still has to counter this!"
Chen Hongying also thought the plan was excellent. Right now, all she could think about was how to bring down Wang Hao and she was willing to partake in any means necessary!
But what they didn’t notice was an ear outside the door, which had heard everything clearly, before it quietly slipped away...
