"Yi, what are you doing?" Huang Xiaoxuan approached her husband when Long Yi called Tang Xi. "Don't tell me you — "
"I will fire her." Long Yi looked at Tang Xi's back, hoping he would stop walking. Once Tang Xi sells the formula to other companies, the Long Company would surely lose more than fifty percent of the current source of their contracts. That cannot happen!
"Yi! What— "
"Mr. Long! What are you doing?" Son Yani's eyes widened. "What are you talking about? I am sure my father can— "
"Xiaoxuan… bring her outside." Xie Jun immediately stepped in. Of course, he understood that this Tang Xi had the right to demand anything right now. But this doesn't mean they would just let this person get away with this. After they obtain the formula, understandably, Long Yi would immediately have his men hunt this man.
"Let's go… Yani… Let's talk about this outside." Huang Xiaoxuan's words sounded too gentle, it was enough to make Lyca cringe. How could Huang Xiaoxuan act like this for this Son Yani? Did she become so desperate to prove herself to Long Yi? Lyca only shook her head inwardly.
Huang Xiaoxuan was a pretty girl, she could practically choose anyone that she could marry, and yet she actually chose a jerk like Long Yi. Lyca pursed her lips as she turned towards Long Yi and his company. "You will?" she uttered. "And once you get the formula you will once again hire her, or her father would quit the company. Ah… why don't you fire her father too?"
"You— "
"I heard about your father Miss Son. The research community fears him because of his connections in the capital." Lyca said. "Too bad for him, his daughter was a bit stupid." She added.
"You— how could you— " Son Yani was already in her late twenties. All these years, she had never once talked to someone who called her stupid! "You— "
"And childish." Lyca continued, her voice was stern as she looked at the woman. "I have been very patient. You can stay here and wait for me to become irritated, or you can leave and shout outside of this property to everyone could see what kind of dog you are." This Son Yani loves to bully people lower than her simply because of her father. How amusing.
Since this woman loved bullying and mocking people weaker than her then Lyca would not hesitate to show her how it feels to be weaker than someone. Of course, this is not some pointless fight against some cannon fodder. Lyca was deliberately doing this so she could meet this woman's father.
Lyca heard that the head researcher of the Long Family loved his daughter so much, he would show up every time she did something. If that is really the case, Son Yani's father will arrive any moment now. Lyca had heard that this man was actually the person who helped Zhang Zhi got back to his feet after the poison that she gave him.
While Zhang Zhi couldn't use his feet anymore, he was practically alive because of this person. Of course, Lyca only wanted to meet him to exchange some pointers.
"Xiaoxuan bring her outside!" Long Yi's stern voice echoed inside the room. It made Huang Xiaoxuan flinched. Tears pooled in her eyes, but she quickly calmed herself and dragged Son Yani out of the room. She was well aware that staying inside would only cause more damage to their reputation.
"Xiaoxuan! Why did you— "
"Yani… just call uncle." Huang Xiaoxuan said. "I think that man is someone important in the research community. He seemed to be so familiar with you and Uncle Son. You should just call uncle and tell him to come here so he could fix this."
For a few seconds, Son Yani turned silent before she nodded and quickly called her father.
Meanwhile, silence followed the moment Son Yani and Huang Xiaoxuan left the room. Tang Xi stood by the door, looking at Long Yi and his friends. "You wanted to make another offer?" he lifted an eyebrow.
"Yes," Long Yi answered. "Seven hundred million dollars. Five percent shares in the Long Company. I will fire Son Yani for disrespecting you, but I cannot fire her father as he is an important person in our company."
"Hmmm." Tang Xi lifted an eyebrow. "Since you can't fire him, then add another hundred million for the damages… on my food."
Zhang Zhi and Xie Jun's face turned dark, but they didn't say anything. Long Yi had already warned them beforehand not to intervene and just let him do the negotiations.
"Once I know that Son Yani is still working in your company— " Tang Xi continued, a sweet smile appeared on her face. "I will sell the formula to the black market."
"You— "
"And if you think you can find me after this… then you are only fooling yourself, Mr. Long." She grinned. "If someone like you can easily find me… I wouldn't be here standing in front of you, now." Seeing the expression on Long Yi's face made her laughed inwardly. Who would have thought that doing something like this is so satisfying?
In her previous world, Lyca was an assassin, and confrontations like this were not her forty. When she came into this world, she chose to hide inside the house and didn't socialize with people. This is why she would always prefer just killing someone over some useless conversation.
However, seeing Long Yi act like a clown in front of her was so satisfying, she wanted to do it again! Well, she would definitely do this again!
"You are blatantly threatening me? In my own City?" Long Yi hissed, disbelief laced his tone.
Tang Xi only smirked in response. "Nine hundred million just because I don't like your tone. Take it or leave it." Lyca was enjoying everything too much, she felt that the experience was really life-changing!
