Chapter 201: Benefiting from All Sides

Chapter 201: Chapter 201: Benefiting from All Sides

Chang Qingfeng was quite the organizer and also very skilled at navigating social situations.

After seeing off the visiting leaders with Wang Chenning, he took care of arranging things for Wang Chenning’s new recruits. He also planned to hold a temporary meeting after dinner to discuss their future work, arrangements, and division of labor.

Once they had hashed out a plan, he would put it in writing for Wang Chenning to review and approve.

Chang Qingfeng also temporarily appointed two people to help him.

With Chang Qingfeng handling these matters for him, Wang Chenning was happy to have the free time, shamelessly becoming a hands-off manager.

As he was getting ready to have dinner with Yang Xiaofei, Luo Yuqing, and the others, he told Chang Qingfeng he would drop by later to see what they had come up with.

If anyone was defiant, he would deal with them personally.

"And that includes you, of course!" Wang Chenning added, clapping Chang Qingfeng heavily on the shoulder.

Chang Qingfeng felt his shoulder sink, and his heart sank along with it.

He could taste the warning in Wang Chenning’s words!

But he didn’t dare argue and could only agree.

During dinner, Luo Yuqing sat next to Wang Chenning. After settling in, she teased with a grin, "Wang Chenning, I get the feeling you’re going to be the one setting all the rules for the traditional medicine industry from now on!"

"With great power comes great responsibility!" Wang Chenning didn’t deny it. "Many of the rules in this industry do need to be rewritten."

Yang Xiaofei asked Wang Chenning, "Aren’t you worried people will challenge you?"

Wang Chenning laughed. "Didn’t you see with your own eyes how I won over the ones who challenged me the other day?"

"That’s different!" Yang Xiaofei shook her head. "You won them over with your skills that day. But if you try to shake up the entire industry, you’ll be stepping on a lot of people’s toes. They’ll fight tooth and nail to protect their interests!"

Wang Chenning smiled. "But what if they stand to gain even more by siding with me?"

Wang Chenning’s words stunned Yang Xiaofei for a moment. In the end, she didn’t say anything more, just gave a slight nod.

"Brother-in-law, you’re incredible!" Yang Xiaodong gave Wang Chenning a thumbs-up. "To think you could win over so many of those old-timers!"

"So, maybe you should reflect on that time you brought people to threaten me when I first came to Yanjing," Wang Chenning said, patting Yang Xiaodong’s shoulder. "Am I just some ordinary country bumpkin?"

Yang Xiaodong looked embarrassed for a moment, then quickly chuckled. "Brother-in-law, I didn’t know you back then!"

"Go hang out at Li Garden Hall and Qingyun Hall more when you have time," Wang Chenning said, patting Yang Xiaodong’s shoulder again. "If I start any new projects in the future and you’re interested, you can join in."

"Okay!" Yang Xiaodong was overjoyed. He then added in a low voice, "Brother-in-law, find some time to give me a check-up, will you? I’ve been feeling really run-down lately."

"We’ll see how you behave," Wang Chenning replied with a meaningful smile. "I’ve said certain things before, so I won’t repeat them today."

"I get it!" Yang Xiaodong beamed.

During the meal, Luo Yuqing was the most talkative.

Sitting beside Wang Chenning, she chattered on, constantly reminding him that if he made any future investments in the medical field, he had to go through her to get the highest returns.

Then she proposed that she, Wang Chenning, and Yang Xiaofei start a new medical investment firm, separate from all their other companies. The three of them would be joint shareholders, and all future investment projects would be handled by this new company.

"Yang Xiaofei, Wang Chenning, what do you two think?"

"Sounds good to me," Wang Chenning agreed without hesitation. "I’ll contribute my expertise for a fifty-percent stake."

Wang Chenning’s shameless words shocked everyone at the table.

"Okay," Yang Xiaofei said, quickly composing herself and giving a slight nod. "I’ll put up half the capital for a twenty-five percent stake."

Luo Yuqing looked at Wang Chenning with a smile. "Dr. Wang, are you sure you want to be that ruthless?"

Wang Chenning beamed right back at her. "How about this: I take sixty percent, and you two each get twenty."

"Aren’t you going too far?" Luo Yuqing flared up, grabbing a napkin and throwing it at him. "Getting something for nothing and you’re still so greedy?"

"I could just start my own company without any of your capital," Wang Chenning said, catching the napkin and placing it on the table, his expression as calm and unbothered as ever. "I’m not short on money or investors, but you won’t find another partner like me who can provide a constant stream of new technology."

"Fine, then!" Luo Yuqing shot Wang Chenning a look. "Since Yang Xiaofei is willing to let you swindle her, I guess I have no choice but to throw in my lot with you two!"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaofu couldn’t help but interrupt Luo Yuqing. "Miss Luo, if those two end up as a married couple, they’ll own seventy-five percent of the shares. You’ll have no say in the company! Aren’t you afraid they’ll team up against you?"

Luo Yuqing looked at Yang Xiaofu with a grin. "So, what are you trying to say? Are you suggesting I have some kind of ulterior motive?"

Yang Xiaofu opened her mouth, but after seeing the stern look Yang Xiaofei shot her way, she didn’t dare say anything more.

After dinner, everyone went their separate ways.

Yang Xiaofei and Luo Yuqing left together. The two women planned to discuss what they had just talked about further.

Yang Xiaofu was heading back to her school. Yang Xiaodong had wanted to go with Wang Chenning to his university for a look, but Wang Chenning gave him the cold shoulder, so he dejectedly followed Yang Xiaofu instead.

They all assumed that after dinner, Wang Chenning would definitely return to his university, since his newly recruited apprentices weren’t fully settled in yet.

Unexpectedly, after leaving, Wang Chenning went straight to pick up Zhao Xiao’an.

He didn’t drive his own car, instead taking a cab to the CCTV station.

After explaining who he was to the guard at the gate, he was allowed in.

Once inside the CCTV building, Wang Chenning went directly to Zhao Xiao’an’s office.

Zhao Xiao’an had already finished most of her tasks and was just wrapping things up.

She was both shocked and delighted when Wang Chenning suddenly appeared before her.

"You came to pick me up from work?" she asked, looking at Wang Chenning with a sweet smile. "I was just about to text you to ask where I could find you!"

"I came to see your workplace again. Plus, I have to film a show here in a couple of days, so I wanted to familiarize myself with the place," Wang Chenning said, smiling at Zhao Xiao’an. He then told her about the conversation from dinner. "Do you want in? If you join, I’ll give you half of my shares. If you don’t want to be involved, we can set up a separate company later. You can just put your name on it, and I’ll give you half the shares."

"Something this good exists?" Zhao Xiao’an’s eyes widened. "Is this one of those ’too good to be true’ situations? What’s the catch?"

"I give others good things, so shouldn’t I give you something even better?" Wang Chenning said with a brilliant smile. "After all, you’re the first woman who’s ever truly captured my heart."

Zhao Xiao’an was instantly overjoyed, feeling as if she was about to swoon!

The threat she felt from Yang Xiaofei instantly diminished by more than half!

They say a woman’s IQ is halved when she’s in love, and there’s certainly no lie in that.

The normally sharp Zhao Xiao’an didn’t even consider for a moment that there might be a hidden agenda behind Wang Chenning’s offer!
