The Martial Artist Turned Movie Mogul
Chapter 168 - 167. He overestimated himself.

Chapter 168: 167. He overestimated himself.

"Qianyu, have you seen the news as well?"

The moment the call connected, Du An’s somewhat weary voice came through.

Hearing his voice, Xu Qianyu’s heart tightened, suspecting that this matter must have dealt a far greater blow to Du’s than she had imagined.

"Yeah, I saw it at home, how about you..."

She was genuinely worried. No one knew Du An’s pride better than she did. Having aspired to achieve something notable, his failure this time was likely to leave him disheartened for a while.

He sighed, "Do you remember when I told you last time that President Jing of Cloudscape Group took the legal department on a trip to Yun Province?"

"I remember. You mentioned back then that there were rumors Cloudscape Pharma would have a new project... Could it be the Exquisite Plant?!"

That conversation was still vivid in her mind. It was indeed because Du An had recently taken over the Du Corporation, and it was the first matter he had handled as the successor.

If this was indeed the case, then Du An had definitely hit a snag, and this could potentially impact his position as the heir.

After all, although Uncle Du had only one son, the other shareholders of Du Corporation were not to be underestimated.

Unaware of his fiancée’s concern for his position as the heir, Du An was then wearily leaning on his office chair, trying to collect information.

"Yes, they reportedly found a batch of Exquisite Plants deep in the Yun Province Forest, and they’ve already signed a cooperation agreement with the local government. If the supply of Exquisite Plants continues, the medication for leukemia will remain available."

The news sent shivers through Xu Qianyu’s mind, "When did the Exquisite Plant become as common as cabbages?"

Thanks to having a fiancé who studied medicine, she was well aware of just how precious the Exquisite Plant was.

"Although the exact size of that Exquisite Plant population is unknown, Cloudscape Pharma never exaggerates. If they announced at the press conference that they can ensure sufficient supply of the herbs, it is mostly likely true. One could imagine, that place must cover a large area."

Du An thought of Jing Yu, the formidable helmsman of Cloudscape Group who even his father warily respected, and felt a wave of helplessness wash over him.

There are always some individuals in the world whose sole purpose seems to be to tower over others.

Every time you think the gap between you and them has narrowed, they do not hesitate to slap you down. He had been warned not to underestimate Jing Yu, but he hadn’t taken it seriously—until now...

He had overestimated himself and underestimated this titan of the business world.

Missing out on the Exquisite Plant cultivation base made Du An feel the regret of having missed out on the whole world.

And this feeling was very likely to torment him continuously.

Outside the Xu Family Villa, Xu Qianyu, having learned the entire situation, fell silent for a moment, with a shadow falling over her face.

"Cloudscape Pharma... this move of theirs is really bold."

Who could have thought that they had already signed an effective cooperation agreement with the local government without the industry being aware?

After today’s press conference and the announcement of the news, it would certainly send shockwaves through the entire medical community and might even affect the stock price of the Cloudscape Group.

"Ah An, do you... have any other plans? If using the Xu Family resources can help, I might be able to assist."

"No need."

Du An decisively refused. Although they were engaged, they were not yet married, and he didn’t want to be accused of leveraging relationship ties to control Du Corporation.

Besides, his strong sense of pride would not allow him to lower his head to anyone.
