Huang Puchen suddenly stood up, glaring at Chairman Zhang with so anger, and shouted out loud.
Chairman Zhang was startled by Huang Puchen’s attitude. She had never seen her son yelling at her like this before.
"Huang Puchen! Do you know who you are talking to? How dare you speak to like that? Do you even see as your mother?"
Chairman Zhang, shaking with anger, stood up and pointed angrily at Huang Puchen, scolding: "Get out! There’s no room for negotiation on this matter! Out!"
Huang Puchen took a deep look at Chairman Zhang, lightly pressed his lips, and without saying anything further, he turned and walked out.
As he opened the door, he saw Chu Ge standing at the entrance, seemingly having been there for a while.
His expression darkened further, "Chu Ge, so you have a habit of eavesdropping!"
Chu Ge couldn’t help but twitch his lips, and said nothing while Huang Puchen didn’t say more to him, brushing past him and leaving with big strides.
Chairman Zhang patted her chest, trying to calm herself down, and eventually sat back weakly on the sofa.
She sat there feeling stifled, unable to let out a breath stuck in her chest.
Chu Ge knocked on the door, interrupting her thoughts, "Chairman Zhang."
Returning to her senses, Chairman Zhang looked up to see it was Chu Ge. She collected herself, smiled, and said, "Oh, it’s Mr. Chu. What brings you here today?"
Chu Ge walked over, poured her a glass of water, and handed it to her, "Chairman Zhang, are you alright?"
Chairman Zhang sighed silently, "I’m fine, thank you."
Chu Ge sat opposite her, "There’s no overnight feud between mother and son, rest assured, he’ll co around."
Chairman Zhang looked up at Chu Ge, "Ah, Mr. Chu, I know my son better than anyone, no need to sugarcoat things to comfort ."
Chu Ge smiled, but his smile had a trace of bitterness. He too had faced similar circumstances with Mu Bingtong back then, just that he was in a similar position as Huang Puchen, with his mother opposing his relationship with Mu Bingtong.
He lowered his eyes slightly, concealing the loneliness within.
Chairman Zhang gathered her thoughts and apologized to Chu Ge, "Sorry, Mr. Chu, I was rude earlier. Is there sothing you need from ?"
Seeing her revert to her usual deanor, Chu Ge nodded slightly, "I heard that the Huangpu Group has halted their drug research, so I ca to understand the situation."
Chairman Zhang smiled, "You must have overheard everything just now, Mr. Chu? As for the reason for halting, I think there’s no need for to repeat it."
She paused, then continued, "Moreover, Elder Jian had ntioned before that soone might take advantage of this drug research to do sothing. Although I’m not sure what that might be, from my understanding of Nangong Yunxi, even though the Nangong Family isn’t as strong as our Huangpu Family in pharmaceuticals, his desire to ddle in this industry showcases his ambition."
Chu Ge sensed a dangerous glint in Chairman Zhang’s eyes.
"Mr. Chu, our Huangpu Family will take your proposal, and the money won’t be short-changed, only, as for when it’ll be implented, I fear it needs further discussion."
This seed like a rejection.
Chu Ge smiled slightly, "Alright, I’ll leave everything to Chairman Zhang to arrange."
Since Chairman Zhang had made her stance clear, it was not appropriate for him to linger any longer. He stood up and said to Chairman Zhang, "In that case, I’ll be leaving. If there’s anything you need, don’t hesitate to contact ."
Chairman Zhang, not in the best mood either, nodded in response.
After Chu Ge left, Chairman Zhang sighed softly, got up, and walked to the window, looking at the view outside, with half of the Capital City in sight.
From her recent interactions with Nangong Yunxi, she knew he was an ambitious person. Nangong Yang is Nangong Yunxi’s sister, and his intention to have Nangong Yang marry into their family seed to hold ulterior motives, she couldn’t believe there wasn’t.
She stood there quietly, lost in thought...
Chu Ge ca out of the building, glanced back at the towering structure, feeling a bit bitter inside.
A similar situation had played out in his life, but he didn’t want to recall what happened afterwards.
Chu Ge withdrew his gaze and drove away from the Huangpu Group.
On the road, he drove aimlessly, not knowing where to go, suddenly feeling lost.
A sense of loneliness welled up in his heart. In the past, he often drove around aimlessly, but never felt any loneliness. He would use work to numb himself, or alcohol for comfort, even during the torturous ti after losing Mu Bingtong, he only survived by throwing himself into work.
But now, what could he use to support this loneliness?
Chu Ge sighed softly, wondering when he could return to his own ti and space.
At that mont, his phone’s ringtone broke his thoughts. Chu Ge took out his phone and glanced at it, it was a string of unfamiliar numbers. He had changed his phone, Mr. Chu’s phone was turned off and left at ho, and not many people knew this current number.
He answered, hearing an urgent voice from the other end, "Mr. Chu, I finally found you."
The voice was unfamiliar, but from the tone, it seed to know Mr. Chu well.
Chu Ge did not speak, waiting for him to continue, and indeed the voice said, "Mr. Chu, soone ca to talk to about buying the Earth Ganoderma at twice your price."
Earth Ganoderma?
Chu Ge was slightly taken aback. He had heard quite a bit about it from Lin Dong, about the First-level Earth Ganoderma personally nurtured by the eldest son of Su City’s largest pharmaceutical rchant, the Shen Family, which was almost snatched up when Mr. Chu bought a batch back to the Capital City.
"Oh?" Chu Ge arched an eyebrow, "Twice the price? Do you know who it is?"
Although Shen Congwen is a businessman, Chu Ge had done favors for the Shen Family, favors that couldn’t be asured with money. Upon receiving the high price offer from the other party, he imdiately called Chu Ge, but for so reason, Chu Ge’s phone couldn’t be reached. With no other option, he had to stall the person on the other side while trying to contact Chu Ge through Lin Dong.
Finally, he managed to find a way to get in touch with Chu Ge through Lin Dong.
"It’s soone from the Nangong Family."
Shen Congwen said, feeling quite puzzled. Chu Ge had done favors for the Nangong Family as well, yet they seed to be vying for business with Chu Ge. Could it really be as others said, business is like war, with no place for favors?
Chu Ge was also a bit surprised, "Soone from the Nangong Family? Are you sure?"
Shen Congwen nodded heavily, suddenly realizing that Chu Ge couldn’t see him nodding, so he added, "It’s soone from the Nangong Family, I’m sure. The person claid to be Nangong, and the people with him called him Young Master Yunxi."
