I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack

Chapter 186: Reversal!

Translator: Lordbluefire

Xiao Lu was a little stunned when she saw Yan Zijing’s condition.

However, she felt that it was reasonable too.

After all, Yan Zijing had been too tired. There was once when Xiao Lu went running around to get news and hadn’t slept or rested for 48 hours. When she went back, she slept for a total of 20 hours! Therefore, Yan Zijing’s condition was considered normal.

At the very least, among the symptoms that the Chu Corporation had publicized, lethargy wasn’t one of them.

Xiao Lu put down her phone and continued to serve the guests.

Fang Panxia was stopped outside and she felt extremely unhappy about this. However, she knew that she must produce results, so Bro Chen would view her in high regard once again. Therefore, she didn’t dare to give up.

She bit her lips and waited outside for a while before she saw Chu Yuan coming with Li Yedong.

Chu Yuan didn’t have an invitation either.

However, Li Yedong was the owner of the number one pharmacy in Sea City, and Chu Yuan had been the Chu Corporation’s representative in the past. Over so many years, he had established great prestige in everyone’s heart.

Even though the Chu Family was in trouble now, the doorman didn’t dare to stop him.

Chu Yuan and Li Yedong were about to enter when Fang Panxia immediately shouted, “Director Chu! I’m Fang Panxia from the pharmaceutical factory! Please let me go in with you.”

“...” Chu Yuan took a glance at her. He had a bit of an impression of this researcher. Although he had no idea why Fang Panxia came here, since she had called out to him, he could only nod.

Fang Panxia followed behind him.

Li Yedong was an amazing guy in their circle. The moment he entered, the owners of the other pharmacies crowded over.

“Bro Dong, you’re here!”

After everyone greeted Li Yedong, the latter pointed to Chu Yuan and said, “Everyone, look who’s here?”

The others exchanged glances. They had seen Chu Yuan long ago but just didn’t want to greet him. But now that Li Yedong had bought Chu Yuan up, they had no choice but to speak up.

“Eh? Isn’t this Director Chu? To think that you’d lower yourself to come to our small gathering. This is really a surprise!”

“In the past, Director Chu wouldn’t care for a small gathering like ours. They were raking in great profits in real estate. Small pharmacies like us were insignificant in front of him!”

Chu Yuan quickly clenched his fists.

As the most influential family in Sea City, no matter what the Chu Corporation did, other people would rush to cooperate with them. Even though they had changed their line of business and were heading into pharmaceuticals, things had been very smooth for them at the start.

Back then, these people had personally visited them, wanting to cooperate with the Chus.

But now that the Chu Family was in trouble, someone who was in a superior position like him had to come and take a lower stand to plead with others.

However, Chu Yuan had gotten used to such ridicule during this period. The reason he came over today was to discuss cooperation, so he lowered his attitude and smiled. “Everyone, you must be joking. The Chu Corporation is a newbie in the pharmaceutical industry. We’ll have to rely on everyone to take care of us in the future.”

“Director Chu, we don’t deserve such words. How dare we give guidance to Sea City’s number one influential family!”

“That’s right, Matriarch Chu’s birthday banquet a few months ago was such a big event. We wanted to go but couldn’t even afford to pay the monetary gift. How could we dare to give the Chu Family guidance?”

“…”

Their words were sarcastic, making Chu Yuan’s expression tense up even more.

Just as Chu Yuan was silent, Fang Panxia suddenly walked out from behind him. “Everyone, the Chu Corporation had been inconsiderate in the past, but we would like to ask everyone to give us some face in the future. Our pharmaceutical factory has a bunch of medicines piled up. If we don’t get any cooperation, then the medicines would all be left to expire. We’re all in the pharmaceutical industry and take medicines very preciously. I’m sure that you guys wouldn’t want to see so many medicines go to waste just like that, right?”

Fang Panxia’s words made Chu Yuan’s countenance instantly turn grim.

He came here to seek cooperation, but they shouldn’t lower their stand so much. Moreover, they mustn’t talk to a group of people either. Otherwise, they’d be pulled into unfair terms.

As expected, someone looked at Fang Panxia and said, “Since that’s the case, our pharmacy can help you.”

Fang Panxia looked elated.

However, at the next moment, the same person said, “But I have three conditions. All the medicines must be sold to us at a 90% discount. Moreover, it mustn’t be said that the medicines come from the Chu Corporation.”

90%...

Fang Panxia’s countenance stiffened up. “Why don’t you go rob?”

That person smiled. “Your medicines can’t be sold now. If you don’t cooperate with us, wouldn’t they go to waste after they expire? You make medicine. Won’t your heart ache to see that happen?”

After the other people heard this, all of them laughed. “That’s right, we can all agree to cooperate too. However, we can’t say that the medicines come from the Chu Corporation. Moreover, the price must be at a 90% discount.”

“We’ll also agree to cooperate if there’s a 90% discount.”

Fang Panxia’s words caused the group of people to aggravate things even more. Moreover, discussing the prices openly allowed all of them to push down the price as low as possible.

Chu Yuan really regretted bringing Fang Panxia in.

How could a newbie in business like her have the right to represent the Chu Corporation in business talks?!

If he had known this would happen, he wouldn’t have come. All the sarcasm he had suffered earlier was all for nothing!

At this moment, Li Yedong spoke up, “Everyone, why are you acting like this? We’re all in the same circle. Don’t be too greedy!”

Li Yedong had been the biggest player, but now his sales had been brought down due to being implicated by the Chu Corporation. Recently, he had become the greatest joke in the pharmaceutical industry. Everyone looked at him and said, “Bro Dong, you know very well how your pharmacies have been implicated so badly by the Chu Corporation. Are you asking for us to go down with you too? People can say now that they won’t buy medicine from Dongye Pharmaceutical and choose to buy from us. But after we work with the Chu Corporation, they won’t have a choice anymore. Your idea is too good.”

Li Yedong frowned. “You...”

“Alright, alright. Everyone came to the gathering to have fun. Why the need to do this?” Someone gave Li Yedong face and stopped the fight. Therefore, everyone broke up into groups of twos or threes to chat.

Most of them were still mocking the Chu Corporation.

“Before they changed their industry, they only informed us. Back then, we still had to queue up if we wanted to cooperate with them. It had only been such a short period, and their reputation had become so bad. They still think that they are the number one influential family in Sea City!”

“I heard that the Chu Corporation’s share prices have shrunk by two-thirds in just a few days. Several tens of billions disappeared just like that...”

“I also heard that their cash flow has been cut off. If they don’t sell their medicines, they won’t be able to pay the salaries of the tens of thousands of employees under them.”

“That’s right. Why are they still putting up an act?”

“They even came up with the rumor of an infectious disease, wanting to scare people and build up their reputation. They really don’t have any bottom line to be doing something like this! Luckily, they encountered a celebrity who was a tough nut to crack. Otherwise, the people would really be fooled by them...”

“…”

When Chu Yuan heard their words, his expression tensed up and he felt extreme rage in his heart.

Li Yedong patted his shoulder. “Bro, there’s nothing I can do to help now either. Can’t the Chu Family think of a way to come to a settlement with that celebrity?”

Chu Yuan sighed. “The two of them aren’t short of money. One of them lost an older brother, and another lost a son. They won’t agree to a settlement. It’s fine for me to be spoken sarcastically to, but Bro Dong, I’ve implicated you...”

Li Yedong didn’t feel good either.

He had tried to help Chu Yuan but ended up causing his pharmacy’s reputation to be damaged. Recently, the company’s shareholders were confronting him, and he was also overwhelmed with troubles. Dongye Pharmaceutical’s shareholders even wanted to hold a shareholders’ meeting and have him taken off his seat!

This matter had probably spread in the circle, so these people didn’t show him much face either.

Li Yedong rubbed his forehead as a headache was acting up.

Xiao Lu, the reporter, watched all these and sneered. The Chu Corporation really got what it deserved!

At the thought of this, she took out her phone and wanted to go into the chat group to flaunt the Chu Corporation’s plight.

However, she had just taken out her phone when she saw that there was an explosion of messages on WeChat.

Someone sent a message: [Yan Zijing was infected and puked blood! Madam Yan was infected and died after puking blood!!!]

When Xiao Lu saw this piece of news, her pupils contracted.

After that, the banquet hall suddenly fell silent. Everyone took out their phone and was looking at some news...

Immediately after, everyone turned and looked at Chu Yuan!!!
