582: 583rd Chapter: Getting the Cold Shoulder at the Insect Research Institute_1 582: 583rd Chapter: Getting the Cold Shoulder at the Insect Research Institute_1 Lin ng was indeed a bona fide female entrepreneur.
She had the discernnt to recognize this.
She was well aware that now was the pri opportunity to destroy Xinng Group; as long as she could disgust Xinng Group enough, she would gain the support of nghua Corporation and the Shang Clan.
Then, the hope for Yarlmor Group to make a coback in Dragon Country would erge.
The ten Aristocratic Clans could make black appear white, and white appear black; as for the Shang Clan, they were an even more terrifying existence than the ten Aristocratic Clans.
Her goal this ti was actually quite simple.
It was to obtain recognition from nghua Corporation and show them that the Yarlmor Group still had so utility.
Otherwise, without anyone’s support, the Yarlmor Group would truly be finished.
“Jiang ng!
Xinng Group!
Just obediently beco the stepping stone for , Lin ng.”
Lin ng was an ambitious person.
The woman she admired most was that world-shaking figure—Andi.
Behind that simple na stood a massive international conglorate.
An existence that made even Yarlmor Group shudder and fearful.
She too wanted to be that kind of woman; she wanted to beco the President of Yarlmor Group and lead it to glory.
Her aspirations were not misguided, but what she did not know was that she might have provoked the wrong person.
Jiang ng had arrived at the gates of the Insect Research Institute.
However, the gate was firmly closed, guarded by only an elderly gatekeeper.
“The Institute is organizing its materials these few days, and outsiders are completely forbidden from entering.”
Although the gatekeeper was old, in his sixties, his attitude was rather earnest as he spoke to Jiang ng and Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen did not speak; Jiang ng was the decision-maker now.
This affair was to be handled by Jiang ng.
With a smile, Jiang ng said, “Tell your Director Gou that Jiang ng, the Chairman of Xinng Group, is here to make a donation.
I heard that everyone at the Institute has been working hard with the materials.
Xinng Group is prepared to make another one million donation to the Institute.
He surely wouldn’t refuse to even see , would he?”
It must be said that, while cliché, this move was clever.
Although the Institute was said to be part of Yarlmor Group, in reality, Yarlmor Group was only involved nominally as the founder, and it also donated the largest sum each year.
Hence, they held the greatest sway.
So, it all still boiled down to money, and under normal circumstances, Director Gou should agree to et with Jiang ng.
However, to Jiang ng’s surprise, the old man called Director Gou from the lodge, but after coming out, he just shook his head and said, “The Director said he’s extrely busy right now, and the Institute is not accepting any donations at the mont.
If you wish to donate, please wait until he’s finished with this busy period.”
“How long will he be busy?”
Jiang ng asked.
“Oh, that’s hard to say, at least a month I guess,” the gatekeeper replied.
“Alright, I understand!”
Jiang ng looked towards the window.
In the third-floor window stood Director Gou.
He looked down with a cold indifference, even displaying a trace of scornful amusent.
Why would he need donations now?
If he pulled off this task well, he’d be off to Arica.
What did the life or death of the Institute have to do with him?
“Boss, this guy surnad Gou really is a dog; he’s obviously taken soone’s benefits to deliberately oppose us,” Ghost Blade said coldly.
“Isn’t there a way for to go in and directly drag that dog-nad Gou out?”
Xiao Chen shook his head and said, “Ghost Blade, I’ve always told you we can only retaliate in the sa manner when others use abnormal ans against us.”
“I hope to establish a market environnt governed by rules and fairness.”
“If we resort to force first, then what difference would there be between us and those Aristocratic Clans in the north?”
“Dear wife, that’s what you think too, right?”
“Of course!”
Jiang ng nodded and said that she hoped unconventional ans would only be used in defense.
For offense, it would be better to use business tactics.
Otherwise, wouldn’t that be like slapping one’s own face?
“But how can we manage to see him?”
Ghost Blade scratched his head, asking in confusion.
“That brings us back to the rules.
It seems that Gou Huo has forgotten sothing; this institute isn’t his — he’s rely managing it on behalf of others.”
Xiao Chen said with a sneer, “According to the rules of the Insect Research Institute, a donation of over one million allows you to have a say in the institute.
A donation of over five million grants you the right to dismiss any staff mber, including the director.”
“Even if other stakeholders disagree, the staff must still present their work reports in front of all stakeholders who have donated over five million.”
“To my knowledge, there are only three donors to this insect research institute.”
“Yarlmor Group, Xinng Group, and Storm Group.”
“All we need to do is point out this rule.
If Gou Huo refuses to et us, he will be effectively resigning, and the deputy director can take over imdiately.
“This is also to prevent the institute from becoming an echo chamber.”
“Husband, you’re really well-inford about this.”
Jiang ng looked at Xiao Chen with even greater admiration in her eyes.
Others hailed her as a business queen, as a comrcial genius, but she knew that when it ca to genius, there was no one else in the world like Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen was truly amazing.
“For my wife, I saw fit to learn a bit more about this research institute,” Xiao Chen said.
“Alright then!
When you suggested I donate to this institute, had you already anticipated such a day?
You’re too cunning,” Jiang ng suddenly said.
“Wife, how could you call that cunning?
It’s called forethought,” Xiao Chen said, laughing.
Gou Huo stood by the window, looking down and seeing Jiang ng and her party standing there, unable to enter yet reluctant to leave, and he couldn’t help but laugh smugly.
“So what if Xinng Group made a donation?
They’ll still have to put up with my cold-shoulder treatnt!”
Gou Huo sneered to himself.
He hadn’t forgotten Lin ng’s instructions.
And he certainly hadn’t forgotten the promises Lin ng had made to him.
To ensure a smooth journey to Arica and get a green card, he would even dare to offend Xinng Group.
“Director Gou, aren’t you afraid that Xiao Chen will co storming in?
Tianhai City is now their territory.
If Ding Family’s mbers co up, you won’t be able to protect yourself,” the pretty secretary beside him said worriedly.
Gou Huo’s face turned a bit pale, but he quickly regained his composure: “Doesn’t the Ding Family always claim to act according to the rules?
They absolutely do not resort to violence first.
I’m just refusing to et them now.
If they were to storm up here directly, and word got out, the prestige of the Xiao Family in Jiangnan would suffer a severe blow,” he replied.
In truth, he was still sowhat afraid — afraid that in desperation, they would take drastic asures, and that would be troubleso.
However, the violence he had imagined did not happen.
Instead, Zhang Wei, the deputy director of the institute, appeared.
Zhang Wei had always been at odds with Gou Huo.
Zhang Wei was too straightforward in his work, always spoiling Gou Huo’s sches, so in recent days, Gou Huo had banished Zhang Wei.
Unexpectedly, not only had Zhang Wei returned, but he had also commanded the gatekeeper to open the gates and let Xiao Chen and his group into the institute.
Gou Huo’s expression quickly darkened.
