Chapter 22: 022 Let’s discuss cooperation

Tang Tang looked at the screen, tears moistening the corners of her eyes.

The words she had sworn so fervently earlier were now utterly stuck in her throat.

Her gaze suddenly became filled with disappointment!

Could it be... had she misjudged someone?

Just a second ago, Tang Tang was defending Yan Yueqing, the next second, she couldn’t help herself anymore?!

Large tears gathered in her eyes, on the brink of falling.

Tang Tang stared intently at the screen, her right hand subconsciously clutching her little skirt, crumpling the fabric.

Aunt Liu furrowed her brow—Yan Yueqing was too ungrateful! The gentleman hadn’t even started to probe, and she had already admitted to impure motives?!

No! At the very least, put on a performance, make it look convincing!

At least don’t make Tang Tang feel so upset...

Aunt Liu gently patted the little girl’s back, shaking her head somewhat helplessly.

Alas...

It’s over...

The gentleman’s strategy of fighting poison with poison was likely to leave Tang Tang with deep psychological scars...

Elsewhere, Director Tang’s face was cold, "Are you after my shareholdings, my status, or do you want to get further in the entertainment industry through me? Miss Yan, you were so quick to spend three million, why not have your words be as straightforward as your actions, communicate clearly in a few sentences, and save everyone’s time."

Director Tang being so forthright, Yan Yueqing did not hide any longer, she said, "Alright, then I’ll speak plainly! Director Tang, I want to invest in a pharmaceutical company in the name of Tang Tang."

As her words fell, three people were stunned.

Even Director Tang couldn’t contain his surprised expression, "What did you say?"

Yan Yueqing explained, "Director Tang, I have a son who, due to his illness, needs to be injected with a special-effect medicine regularly. This medicine is costly to make, so few hospitals stock it and almost no patients can afford it. A drug that is hard to promote is not a good sign for pharmaceutical companies. If no one buys it, the funds can’t circulate back, and the R&D team likely won’t even have the confidence to propose a second phase. I don’t want such a good medicine to disappear because there’s no investment, so—"

"So you plan to do it in Tang Tang’s name?" Director Tang felt like she was telling a fantasy, "You have a son yourself, why not invest in his name instead of making detours and spending Tang Tang’s money? Yan Yueqing, do you think I’m a fool?"

"Well... that involves a bit of family situation," Yan Yueqing sighed, "Director Tang, I am from the Yan Family of City C."

City C, the Yan Family.

The billionaire Yan Family of City C?

Director Tang sneered, "You mentioned in the show before that you are the Second Miss of the Yan Family, but unfortunately... their official Weibo account denied it overnight!"

"Cough, the competition in wealthy families is like that," admitted Yan Yueqing truthfully, "I am indeed from the Yan Family, but there are some secrets I prefer not to disclose... Anyway, my son needs this special-effect medicine regularly, and no matter what, I can’t let it stop being produced! However, due to my identity, if I invest in my name or my son’s name, there’s a big chance the Yan Family will get involved. Then, I may not be able to ensure the regular supply of the special-effect medicine."

That did sound like the truth.

Director Tang had seen enough of the infighting within wealthy families, where individuals who seemed polite in public always found their opponents’ weaknesses to strike hard in private.

He was silent for a moment, then his face grew serious, "How can you prove everything you’ve said is true?"

Yan Yueqing smiled, "Director Tang being a major shareholder of Zhongxing, your capabilities are naturally extraordinary. The Yan Family’s matters, even though some want to hide them, you can still find out if you take some time to investigate."

Director Tang examined Yan Yueqing for a few seconds.

The scrutinizing gaze moved slowly, like a knife.

He spoke in a low voice, "One last question, why did you choose Tang Tang?"

Of course, because Tang Tang was her matched Cute Baby!

Otherwise, where would she have the money?

However, for this question, Yan Yueqing was prepared, "I really like Tang Tang! She’s smart and clever, friendly to others, even when I caused her to have misunderstandings, she still remained polite... It’s hard not to like such a girl! Since I am going to spend money on someone, of course, it should be on someone I like, right?"

In the private room, Tang Tang watched the screen, hearing Yan Yueqing praise her in various ways, and her face unconsciously blushed slightly.

"That’s it?" Director Tang frowned, "No other reasons?"

Yan Yueqing raised her hand slightly, "Another reason is that—because you are Tang Tang’s dad!"

Aunt Liu was immediately annoyed, "This woman, despite all her talk, isn’t it all for the sake of her husband?!"

Tang Tang was also stunned. She had not even had time to be happy for two seconds before Sister Yueqing actually—again—

Director Tang’s eyes turned cold, "Because of me?"

Yan Yueqing explained, "Honestly, if I simply found someone else to invest, there’s a very good chance that they would take the money and betray us. But Director Tang is different; you have numerous assets in your name and wouldn’t be interested in this small pharmaceutical factory. Director Tang, by investing in the name of Tang Tang, this is a no-cost business deal! My son could get the medicine, and Tang Tang would have a fixed asset. I can’t think of any reason for you to refuse!"

Indeed.

Director Tang truly had no reason to refuse.

Yan Yueqing’s gift of a handbag could still be considered an approach to make an introduction.

But offering a fixed asset share...

Director Tang lifted her lashes, "How much do you plan to invest?"

"As much as possible, but let’s guarantee at least twenty million."

Hiss—

Twenty million?!

Director Tang took in a breath of cold air.

Twenty million might not sound like a large sum.

But, investing in shares is something that requires actual cash!

It’s easy to have twenty million in assets, but not so easy to come up with twenty million in cash flow.

Her offhand remark was to invest twenty million in someone with no relation?!

Even Director Tang, who had seen much of the world, was taken aback by Yan Yueqing’s audacity!

It felt like...

He slammed his hand on the table, "Two million, stay away from my daughter!"

The other party said indifferently, "I’ll give you twenty million to let me keep associating with your daughter."

The gap was simply too huge!

Director Tang coughed lightly to steady her thoughts, "I have no objections to investing in my daughter’s name, but I will be the one to contact the head of the pharmaceutical factory! Including subsequent investments, shares, dividends... Every clause will be managed by me, you just need to provide the money! Do you agree?"

Her implication was clear, she couldn’t interfere with the investment at all.

Aside from providing the money, everything else was unrelated to her!

This clause was quite stringent.

After all, who would agree to not seeing the investment progress and not being able to estimate future returns, after putting in the money?

Director Tang wanted to use these almost inconsiderate terms to scare off Yan Yueqing.

She spoke nicely, but who knew what kind of manipulations she would try with the investments?

Complete management by oneself, how many would dare to be that bold?

Unexpectedly, Yan Yueqing was thrilled!

Oh my god, is such a great deal really happening?!

Just last night she was wondering how to communicate and coordinate with the pharmaceutical factory.

Now, all sorted, Director Tang provided a one-stop service!

She just needed to provide the money!!

Could this be any more exhilarating?

Fearful that Director Tang would change her mind, she immediately replied, "Good! Send me your bank account details."
