Chapter 523 Double-Pronged
When Sha Hai arrived, he was in a hurry. When he left, he had a smile across his face!
Just like that, Sha Hai returned to Rolls Royce contentedly.
Seeing his relaxed boss sitting beside him, Qin Yu was a little puzzled.
“Boss, what did Mr. Tan say?”
Sha Hai smiled gently, “Hehe, for Tan Haohan to remain the richest man in Oars for so long, he truly deserves it. His mind is much more meticulous than mine!”
Although he didn’t understand why his boss would make such a remark, Qin Yu figured he must have reached a satisfactory resolution with Tan Haohan!
With this thought, Qin Yu didn’t ask further and drove the car straight back.
At the same time, in the chairman’s office…
After sending Sha Hai away, Tan Haohan pondered alone for a long time.
Suddenly, he picked up the phone next to him and called for his secretary Mei.
Before long, the charming secretary walked briskly to Tan Haohan, bringing a scent of fragrance with her. “Boss, any orders?”
“Immediately send someone to gather all the information on Starline Bio, especially their strategic plans for Harrow. Spare no effort!”
Tapping his fingers lightly on the desk, Tan Haohan was composed.
…
An hour later, the secretary respectfully placed a file folder on Tan Haohan’s desk.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Here’s the information you wanted.”
“Mm.”
Tan Haohan nodded, then picked up the documents and started reviewing them carefully.
“Yao Cen… health products company… building a factory…”
These words trickled out of Tan Haohan’s mouth intermittently.
“Heh, with just a declined tycoon Yao Cen from Stillwater and a health products company, they dare to compete with me for that feng shui treasure land?”
He sneered and continued murmuring, “Xiao Shun, even with the Pearl Chamber of Commerce backing you up, so what? This is Harrow after all!”
The secretary asked, “Boss, should we acquire Starline Bio?”
“No.” Tan Haohan shook his head and said to himself, “Since those outsiders want to play, let’s play with them!”
After that, he looked at his secretary and ordered, “Contact the project manager immediately and draft a plan to start a health products company. I want the paperwork on my desk first thing tomorrow morning.”
“Yes!”
With her task assigned, the secretary left swiftly.
“You expect me to hand over Persimmon Commercial within a week? You’re quite naive!” Tan Haohan muttered while taking out his personal phone and dialing a number.
“What’s the matter?”
An icy voice came through the receiver, chilling like an autumn wind.
Tan Haohan was used to this and smiled, “There’s someone I want you to take care of!”
“Five million, USD!”
Before he finished speaking, a gunshot rang out from the other end, followed by an exclamation, “Louis, nice shot! Eight hundred meters, headshot!”
Tan Haohan smiled faintly, “Deal!”
“John, book the next flight to Harrow. I’ll leave the other four targets to you.”
After Louis acknowledged and hung up, Tan Haohan casually put his phone back in the drawer, smiling smugly.
“Attacking from both sides, let’s see how you can slip away!”
He then flipped to the next page of the documents, Starline Bio’s financial statements from last quarter.
To be honest, even a tycoon like Tan Haohan couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows at the numbers.
This was a golden goose!
…
At the same time, Xiao Shun and Zhu Que had also returned home.
This trip was quite fruitful for them.
“Big sale at the supermarket?”
Yao Cen was dumbfounded seeing Xiao Shun walk in carrying large and small bags.
Hearing this, Xiao Shun smiled meaningfully, “I wish we could have more sales like this.”
Yao Cen quickly got up to check out the bag’s contents, utterly confused.
Pulling out a scroll, she unrolled it and was shocked.
“Angling in Winter River?” Then another exclamation: “West Mountain Sunset Glow!”
Seeing the startled Yao Cen, Xiao Shun chuckled, “Hehe, there are also masterpieces from calligrapher Huang Tingjian inside!”
“Did you guys rob an antique shop?”
Putting down the two paintings, Yao Cen glared at Xiao Shun.
Xiao Shun coughed awkwardly, “Cough… they strongly insisted on giving these to us. You know I’m bad at rejecting people, so…”
Before he could finish, Yao Cen suddenly twisted his arm, making him yelp in pain.
Yao Cen sneaked in more force, glancing resentfully at Xiao Shun’s twisted expression.
“So bad at rejecting others? Does that mean you won’t reject other girls who throw themselves at you?”
She had locked onto Song Linger as the gift giver. After all, only she had the means to take out these top antiques.
Damn, how did she jump to this conclusion?
Oblivious to his wife’s thoughts, Xiao Shun pleaded for Zhu Que’s help.
Zhu Que reluctantly explained, “These are Sha Hai’s possessions.”
“Sha Hai?” Yao Cen was startled, then became furious and grabbed Xiao Shun’s ear. “So you lied about going to the antique market and went to Sha Hai instead!”
Damn it!
Xiao Shun was about to cry. He felt both angry and amused.
“Wife, you misunderstood. Sha Hai is the chairman of Persimmon Commercial and a generous man. Even after I broke his metal gate, he didn’t ask me for damages and even gave me these gifts. I felt bad accepting them.”
If Sha Hai was here, he’d probably die from anger on the spot.
Ten minutes later, Yao Cen finally understood where the antiques came from and felt guilty for being too harsh on Xiao Shun.
Xiao Shun seized this perfect moment and pretended to be depressed. “Wife, I’m emotionally scarred. Letting me into the bedroom tonight would really help me heal.”
“You’re all sweaty, no way I’m letting you in!” Yao Cen blushed, seemingly implying something more.
Catching her drift, Xiao Shun jumped up laughing, “Haha, I’ll go shower right away!”
Perhaps he moved too quickly. A small paperback slipped out of his pocket.
Under the bright light, the title “Jin Ping Mei” was clearly visible.
Xiao Shun immediately thought: I’m screwed!
