186 Chapter 186. The Details That Were Omitted
Zhuang Xian’s sharp mind quickly analyzed Ye Zheng’s plan. After she figured it out, her strong and fearless heart began to suppress her boundless anger!
She should have known they did not covet Ming En Group because they wanted to. They had long had plans to destroy and annex Ming En.
It wasn’t because of the sudden appearance of her biological daughter that he had those evil thoughts. In her past life, her identity as the Zhuang family’s adopted daughter was just one of the methods they used to plot against Ming En.
To think that she was so thrilled that she had found her final home. Everything was just her delusion!
It wasn’t even because of her that the Ye Group had the wild ambition to swallow up Ming En. In the eyes of the ye family, she was never crucial from the beginning to the end. She was just a cheap weapon that they desperately put their lives on the line to stab into the hearts of those who cared about her!
Zhuang Xian’s heart was so cold that it hurt. She had exposed an essential detail that she had been neglecting before. The Ye Group had never acted according to the situation. They had long been plotting.
As early as the first time the Ye family took the initiative to attack Ming En, she should have understood that all this happened not because of her alone.
“What does teacher Yan An think?” Seeing that Zhuang Xian had remained silent and did not answer his question, Ye Zheng anxiously tried to probe.
Zhuang Xian tidied up her complicated feelings and looked at Ye Zheng coldly. She threw the folder in her hand on the table and said in a calm but slightly cold tone, “Since Chairman Ye is so sincere, I’ll be direct.”
“Yan An.” Ye Zheng raised his hand and smiled faintly. “Teacher Yan An, you can speak.”
“Chairman Ye, do you think that you can bribe the entire Xian Du club to support you with this little money and a letter full of loopholes? Aren’t you underestimating the delicacy of the body too much? You say you appreciate the company’s culture but don’t seem to understand it at all.” As Zhuang Xian spoke, she gently pushed up her glasses.
Ye Zheng only felt that Yan An’s eyes behind his glasses were like they had been filled with poison that could seal one’s throat at the sight of blood. After he was targeted, his body started to turn cold.
“I’ve always believed that we speak the truth, but that must be the real truth and not just a one-sided statement. Do you understand? Your words were indeed impassioned, and your slogan was also loud, but what was it? What can we, Xian Du, get? Just based on your little bit of hush money?” Zhuang Xian leaned closer to the table and asked Ye Zheng seriously.
Her questions dumbfounded Ye Zheng. He stared at Zhuang Xian coldly and was about to explain when Zhuang Xian interrupted him again.
“Chairman Ye, do you think that our brand is so cheap? How do you dare to negotiate with me with just this little money and your empty words and promises?” Zhuang Xian added, unable to hide the sarcasm in her eyes.
“Yan An? ” Ye Zheng furrowed his brows and said coldly, “So teacher Yan An means there’s no room for discussion?”
Zhuang Xian looked at him calmly and did not say anything. She even poured herself a cup of tea and slowly sipped it.
Ye Xin had been observing this so-called teacher Yan An. She found Yan An very strange. Yan An did have the pride and arrogance of a scholar, but at the same time, there was also a lot of uncultured greed and ambition.
Yan An was not a simple person. In her eyes, her father’s efforts to win her over might be worthless, and what she wanted might be even more fantastic!
Therefore, it was not that there was no room for negotiation in this business deal but that the negotiation method should be changed.
Ye Xin seemed to have understood something. She looked at Yan An and smiled, “Yup! Teacher Yan An is right; if the golden signboard could be sold at such a low price, how could it be our turn to sit here and discuss the big plan with teacher Yan An?”
Masaharu smiled as if she had finally heard what she wanted and said, “Since we’ve already said this much, I’ll get straight to the point with CEO Ye! It’s not the first time we’ve encountered such a request from you, Chairman Ye!”
