Chapter 33: Chapter 33 Undercurrents Stir
Before Li Changhong could recover his senses, several more figures rushed over in panic.
"Chairman, a disaster has struck; the factory we just established in Europe was just burned down by a group of mysterious people!"
"It's over, chairman, we're done for; all our business partners are going to terminate their contracts with us—what are we going to do now!"
"Chairman, the world's top hackers are fiercely attacking our company's computer systems, we might lose all our company secrets..."
One piece of bad news after another assailed him, and Li Changhong's vision went dark as he nearly collapsed to the ground.
What's going on?
What on earth is happening?
Ever since Tianba Group was established, although they had offended many people, no one had ever had the ability to target Tianba Group and bring it down in such a short time.
Given the current trend, in less than ten minutes, Tianba Group might truly face bankruptcy and closure.
"Wait a minute! Bankruptcy!"
Li Changhong suddenly seemed to think of something, and his eyes immediately locked onto Ye Fan.
Ye Fan, sitting on the sofa, appeared calm and composed as if nothing had happened; he even picked up a cup of tea and took a sip.
"It was you, you arranged for this to happen!" Li Changhong said chillingly.
Ye Fan remained expressionless and said, "What do you think?"
Besides being God Ye, he was also the Junior Pavilion Master of the world's most ancient sect, Medicine God Pavilion.
Even though there had been significant changes within Medicine God Pavilion, Ye Fan's influence remained intact. Using the power of Medicine God Pavilion to bankrupt Tianba Group was, for Ye Fan, indeed an easy task.
"Damn it! How dare you speak to the chairman like that! Brothers, throw this brat out!" roared the Security Captain immediately upon seeing this.
"Go!"
A group of security guards, without a moment's hesitation, all charged towards Ye Fan like fierce gods.
Slap!!!
Before the security guards could get close to Ye Fan, Li Changhong's body shook violently as if he had been electrified, and he slapped the Security Captain heavily across the face.
He furiously scolded, "A bunch of fools, how dare you show such disrespect to Mr. Ye, have you all grown tired of living? Get out, all of you get out!"
The Security Captain was struck dumbfounded by Li Changhong's slap.
But wasn't it you, Li Changhong, who ordered me to throw Ye Fan out?
Now that I'm about to throw Ye Fan out, why on earth did you slap me?
"Get out, can't you hear?" Li Changhong screamed at the top of his lungs.
"Yes, yes, yes, chairman, we're leaving right now!"
The Security Captain, not daring to offend Li Changhong any further, immediately said, "Retreat, brothers, retreat quickly!"
Seeing that their boss had been hit, none of the security guards dared to make another move in front of Ye Fan, and they quickly fled the reception room like a whirlwind.
Bang!
No sooner had the security guards fled the reception room than Li Changhong looked towards Ye Fan and knelt on the ground with his knees giving out.
His complexion pallid and his eyes filled with pleading, he said, "Mr. Ye, I was blind and failed to see your greatness; I admit my mistake, I know I was wrong! I beg you, Mr. Ye, please show mercy and spare me and Tianba Group!"
"Chairman..."
Li Changhong's secretary and several high-ranking executives of Tianba Group were nearly popping their eyes out at this scene.
But Li Changhong ignored these people, and slapped himself on the face again: "Mr. Ye, I was blind and ignorant; I truly realize my mistake now!"
Having built Tianba Group's market valuation to over a hundred billion, Li Changhong certainly was no simple man; he immediately realized that all of this was Ye Fan's doing.
If he did not earn Ye Fan's forgiveness in the shortest time possible, Tianba Group was indeed finished, and he might even spend the rest of his life in prison.
"Now you realize your mistake?" Ye Fan sneered.
Li Changhong's face turned deathly pale as he said, "Mr. Ye, I really do realize it! Rest assured, Mr. Ye, I will never look down on anyone again with contempt!"
"And the cooperation agreement?" Ye Fan asked teasingly.
Li Changhong hurriedly replied, "Please be assured, Mr. Ye, I will personally print out the cooperation agreement and sign and seal it myself, and deliver it into your hands first thing tomorrow morning!"
"What about your son, Li Shihao..."
Before Ye Fan could finish, Li Changhong interjected with desperation, "Mr. Ye, it's my failure in upbringing that caused offense to Miss Su. I would like to apologize to you first, Mr. Ye!"
"Please rest assured, Mr. Ye, right after this I will give that scoundrel a good beating, and tomorrow I will personally bring him to kneel before Miss Su and apologize!"
At this moment, as long as he could save the Tianba Group, Li Changhong would agree to any demand from Ye Fan, without conditions.
The man before him was simply too terrifying, a single phone call could rapidly bankrupt the Tianba Group, it was nothing short of astounding.
"Hmm, not bad," Ye Fan then nodded in approval.
Seeing that he had successfully intimidated Li Changhong, he slowly stood up and said, "You must keep everything that happened today a secret, do you understand?"
"I understand, I do!" Li Changhong nodded frantically.
Even a fool would know by now, Ye Fan had reached the pinnacle of the world's hierarchy. Such a super heavy-weight individual usually keeps a low profile.
Before leaving, Ye Fan added, "Also, tomorrow morning I'll have Ruo Xue come to Tianba Group to pick up the cooperation agreement. There's no need to deliver it!"
"Understood, Mr. Ye, I understand!" Li Changhong nodded like a pecking chicken.
Ye Fan could have had Li Changhong personally deliver the cooperation agreement to Su Ruoxue, but he feared that might intimidate her.
After all, Li Changhong was a man of status, unlikely to humble himself before the marketing director of a second-rate family, and Ye Fan wasn't yet ready to reveal his identity as Junior Pavilion Master of Medicine God Pavilion, so it was more fitting for Su Ruoxue to collect the cooperation agreement.
...
Meanwhile, in the largest health club of Central Plains, Royal No. 1.
Upon seeing Su Tianhao, Li Shihao, the only son of Tianba Group's chairman Li Changhong, said excitedly, "I heard Young Master Su has found another exotic beauty. Where is she? Quickly take me to see her!"
"Young Master Li, don't rush!"
Su Tianhao smirked and turned to the manager of Royal No. 1.
The manager clapped his hands, and a tall woman with a high figure came out.
This woman was extremely beautiful, with a Western facial appearance, seductive by nature, dressed in a uniform, with long, attractive legs sheathed in black.
If someone attentive noted, they'd see that these black stockings were from the valuable Parisian Noble House.
"Wow, she's definitely a beauty!"
Upon seeing the woman, Li Shihao almost drooled.
Su Tianhao laughed and said, "Her name is Rose, she's of mixed blood, and most importantly, Rose is still untouched, a rarity I went through a lot of trouble to bring over from abroad."
"Mixed blood? And still untouched?" Hearing this, Li Shihao grew even more thirsty with anticipation.
He said excitedly, "Young Master Su, you really put in some effort!"
"Ha ha ha, we're brothers after all, if I have good goods, of course I'll think of Young Master Li first!"
"By the way, Young Master Li, our Su Family is looking to cooperate with Tianba Group soon. What do you think?" Su Tianhao chuckled with a sly grin.
At this, Li Shihao clapped Su Tianhao on the shoulder and said, "Cooperate? That's trivial! Just tell me how much you want to invest in the project. Five billion or ten billion? I'll have someone send the cooperation agreement over first thing tomorrow morning!"
"Thank you, Young Master Li!"
Hearing Li Shihao's words, a sly, triumphant smile spread across Su Tianhao's face.
Ye Fan, oh Ye Fan, how can a crude person like you, who can't make it to the public stage, compete with me?
Wait until tomorrow, and you'll kneel before me and kowtow. Let's see how I'll humiliate you then!
