Chapter 406 - Occupy at Your Will

“Honestly, Ye Haochuan had no doubts that Su Manni could possibly make the Medicinal Cuisine Shop go bust.”

He had started the Ye Family Medicinal Cuisine Shop with a playful attitude, but he believed in making a name for himself.

Coming across such an excellent opportunity to build a great reputation, he naturally wouldn’t let it pass by.

Therefore, ensuring the Medicinal Cuisine Shop continued to exist was more than welcome.

Thinking this, he agreed, “Alright, I can give you thirty percent of the shares, but I will need you to invest five billion.

Additionally, after you become a shareholder, you’ll be a non-executive director.

You’ll only enjoy the dividends and won’t participate in decision-making.

If you don’t agree to these terms, then forget it, I’m not relying on this to make money anyway.”

After speaking, he sneered inwardly, trying to play mind games with me?

I’ll play so hard you won’t be able to take it.

“What?

Invest five billion?” Su Manni raised her voice, “That’s not how you play!

Your Ye Family Medicinal Cuisine Shop isn’t even properly set up yet, and I’ve preliminarily estimated that its total assets are just a few tens of thousands.

What makes you think I would invest five billion?

Alright, even if I do invest five billion, the shares you’re offering are only thirty percent.

No matter what, that’s unreasonable, isn’t it?”

Ye Haochuan chuckled, “Eldest Miss Su, it seems you’re unaware.

Your investment is in capital, mine is in technology.

I can assure you, my Pill Refinement Technique is unparalleled under heaven, valued over a hundred billion.

It’s a sure win without any losses.

In the future, the returns you will receive will far exceed what you have invested.”

Hearing his boasting, Su Manni contemptuously thought to herself, keep bluffing, I won’t fall for your tricks.

But no matter how much she bargained, the annoying guy just wouldn’t budge.

Left with no choice, she reluctantly agreed.

However, deep down she was still somewhat unwilling and threatened fiercely, “Humph, listen well, if you cause me to lose everything, see how I will deal with you.”

Seeing her finally agreeing, Ye Haochuan secretly rejoiced, this was great.

Just with a few words, he conned the beautiful President into bringing in fifty billion in registered capital.

If word got out, it would definitely cause a sensation!

“Hehe, rest assured, when I handle things, I get them done right,” Ye Haochuan said with a smile.

“Alright, come to my group’s headquarters tomorrow.

We shall discuss the details regarding the investment.

If there are no issues, we’ll sign the official contract,” Su Manni said.

“OK,” Ye Haochuan nodded.

Suddenly, he remembered something and asked, “By the way, didn’t you say you’d help me avert a crisis?

How exactly will you do that?”

“Secret,” Su Manni giggled mysteriously.

Pretending to be profound.

Ye Haochuan disdainfully curled his lips, but still thanked her perfunctorily.

“Why are you thanking me?

I’m taking advantage of you!

Although fifty billion in investment capital is very expensive, a single Body-Strengthening Pill of yours can easily sell for tens of millions.

I believe my investment won’t go wrong,” Su Manni said with a smile.

Ye Haochuan jokingly replied, “The fifty billion investment is non-negotiable, but as for other advantages, feel free to take what you want.”

With a chuckle, Su Manni asked, “Really?

I can take advantage as I please?

You won’t run away like last time, will you?”

Remembering the last time when she had stripped naked and posed provocatively in the huge shower room, attempting to seduce him, Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but laugh.

He spoke sternly, “President Su, do you think I’m unaware of last time’s events?

There was an old creep peeping from the room next door, and I didn’t want to fall into your trap.”

Su Manni was stunned for a moment.

How did he know her stepfather was in the secret room?

Not even her brother with his high Cultivation could have noticed.

How did he see through it?

“What are you talking about?

Am I that kind of person?” Su Manni cooed playfully, trying to defuse the awkwardness.

Just keep pretending.

Ye Haochuan shook his head, uninterested in further discussion.

He would never easily let down his guard around this woman.

The two of them chatted about this and that, then hung up.

Ye Haochuan immediately called Xiao Haimie to share the good news.

As for Su Manni’s supposed ability to help him avert the crisis, since there were no details yet, he did not bring it up.

Upon hearing that he had casually secured an investment of five billion, the latter could hardly believe it and said, “Dear, is this for real or are you kidding?”

“Of course, it’s for real,” Ye Haochuan replied with soaring spirits.

Xiao Haimie was instantly overjoyed.

With this huge investment, even if they didn’t open a hospital, the Xiao Family could rise again thanks to the Medicinal Cuisine Shop.

However, she immediately asked who the investor was.

Ye Haochuan told her the truth.

“What?

It’s Su Manni who invested?” Xiao Haimie’s joy vanished instantly.

Even though Su Manni had previously invested a huge sum to acquire the Xiao Family’s stake in the Xiao Group, freeing the Xiao Family from the immense pressure from the original Xiao Group shareholders, making her grateful to Su Manni; but with a woman’s intuition, she keenly felt that Su Manni’s intentions might not be so simple.

“What’s wrong?

Is there an issue?” Ye Haochuan asked, puzzled.

“Nothing’s wrong, it’s just that I feel like this Su Manni isn’t well-intentioned, and you need to be careful.

Don’t let her brew some love potion for you and get wrapped around her finger,” Xiao Haimie said, with a mix of emotions.

Ye Haochuan could hear the hint of jealousy in her words and laughed, “Don’t worry, if she tries to give me a love potion, I’ll just make her drink it all herself.”

These words were undoubtedly a promise to Xiao Haimie, assuring her that he wouldn’t fall for Su Manni’s tricks.

While Xiao Haimie didn’t quite believe him, she felt somewhat relieved to hear his promise.

“By the way, are you feeling lonely tonight?” Ye Haochuan asked playfully.

“Why?

Missing me?” Xiao Haimie chuckled.

“Yes!

And not just me; my little brother is craving your flesh too,” Ye Haochuan said mischievously.

Having spent much time with him, Xiao Haimie was no stranger to his coarse jokes.

After teasingly scolding him, she laughed and said, “Sorry to disappoint you, but I’m busy tonight.

You should spend some quality time with sister Xue’er.

I’ll have to pass this time.”

“No issue, it’s rare for us to have a free night.

The three of us should get together and do some ‘exercises,'” he suggested.

“Pfft, what exercises?

Stop making it sound so elegant and refined,” Xiao Haimie retorted, “Alright then, it’s getting late.

I still need to figure out how to clean up your mess and smooth things over with those government officials, so you just keep Xue’er company.

She’s been worn out because of the Medicinal Cuisine Shop.”

Ye Haochuan, of course, knew she was busying herself because he had offended Ma Tao and Secretary Tao.

He had intended to tell her not to bother anymore, but since Su Manni hadn’t specified how she would help him solve his problems, he decided after some thought to hold back and didn’t say anything.

No sooner had he hung up when his mother, Tong Xiangxiu, came to the bedroom door to remind him to call Han Xue’er to come home for dinner.

Ye Haochuan then made a call, and coincidentally, an extremely tired Han Xue’er had just walked into the house.

“Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives.

Now we can have our meal,” Tong Xiangxiu laughed.

After the family of three had dinner, Ye Haochuan pulled Han Xue’er into the bedroom with a mischievous grin, “Come here, Xue’er, you’ve worked hard today.

Let your brother pamper you properly.”
