"No, he said if there's any progress, he'll contact you directly by phone." Cao Pingzhi hesitated for a moment, then added, "He's always on Cao Ying's side, always protecting her. Now, he won't laugh at us, will he?"

"nonsense!"

Cao Jianguo glared and said, "Don't forget, he is your second uncle, and his surname is also Cao. This concerns the future of our family. How could he stand idly by?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his cell phone rang.

As soon as he saw the call, Cao Jianguo's face changed and he answered the call immediately.

When answering the phone, Cao Jianguo didn't say anything and just listened quietly.

But his expression became increasingly gloomy.

Bang!

After hanging up the phone, Cao Jianguo lay down in the chair, closed his eyes, and felt exhausted.

"Dad, what did my second uncle say?"

Cao Pingzhi had a bad feeling.

Cao Jianguo waved his hand: "Go out, I want to be alone!"

…

Seven o'clock in the evening.

A private room in a teahouse in Jiangnan City.

This is also the Cao family's property.

Cao Jianguo finally met Xiao Jian again.

No matter what time, Xiao Jian always looks calm and composed, as if everything is under his control.

Tonight is no exception.

There was a lot of noise outside, but he was very calm.

The tea was cold, and Cao Jianguo didn't even take a sip.

This tea is very good and is from his private collection.

He also loves tea, but tonight, he is not in the mood to drink tea at all.

But Xiao Jian drank the cup of coffee with great relish.

He is a returnee who has lived abroad for a long time. He is not used to drinking tea, but has a special liking for coffee.

"You are quite patient."

Cao Jianguo sighed, his face looked unhappy and he couldn't help feeling angry.

Xiao Jian remained as elegant as ever, smiling, "So what if you can't keep your composure? You've been working in the business world for so many years, so it's impossible that you haven't encountered setbacks before. How can you not handle such a small thing?"

"You say that very nicely."

Cao Jianguo said unhappily, "What should we do now? Tell me."

"Doesn't your Cao family have a lot of connections and resources in the political arena? Can't you handle this thing?" Xiao Jian was still smiling.

"Are you kidding? It's already pretty good that this matter has been suppressed to this point. Do you think it can go on like this? I think we should cut the Gordian knot and deal with this matter as soon as possible to eliminate some negative impacts." Cao Jianguo was too lazy to beat around the bush with Xiao Jian and went straight to the point.

Xiao Jian's smile faded and he narrowed his eyes: "Has it become so serious?"

"Yes, and we're running out of time. We must come up with a compensation plan within three days. However, the compensation for the deceased won't be too high. 200,000 yuan per family is the bottom line. As for the other patients, they've all been treated with the Shenlong Regeneration Pills. Their conditions have stabilized and I believe they'll improve. Each will be compensated 100,000 yuan."

"Okay, I can accept this plan." Xiao Jian said.

Cao Jianguo smiled bitterly and said, "We can handle the situation domestically, but as for the situation abroad, we need you to come. Our Cao family's influence is still limited and we can't influence it abroad."

“OK.”

Xiao Jian snapped his fingers and said, "I'll handle the overseas affairs. I'll try to lower the compensation standards. In fact, I'm already doing this."

"Are you already doing it?" Cao Jianguo was stunned.

Xiao Jian smiled and said, "Once something like this happens, there's only one solution, and that's to pay money to resolve the situation. So, currently, the average compensation paid overseas is about 100,000 yuan more per person than back home."

Cao Jianguo frowned and asked, "How much will it cost in total?"

"Probably more than 200 billion."

puff!

Fortunately Cao Jianguo didn’t drink the tea, otherwise, he would have sprayed!

"Two hundred billion? Are you kidding me?"

"It's not 200 billion, it will be around 240 billion in the end."

"Then where can I get so much money?" Cao Jianguo was about to collapse.

Xiao Jian said, "It's already this late, so don't hide it. I know exactly how much wealth your Cao family has. Sell off some shares and some companies. 150 billion, can you come up with it?"

"Why is it 150 billion? We can't afford it." Cao Jianguo said decisively.

"You don't have to pay it all at once; you can pay it in installments," Xiao Jian said. "According to the agreement, you hold more shares. Shouldn't you pay more?"

Cao Jianguo wanted to die.

His face looked extremely ugly.

More than 100 billion...

Although the Cao family is wealthy, they cannot afford such compensation.

He just felt his heart sinking.

He didn't speak for a long time.

In fact, he knew very well that no matter what he said, it would be useless. He had to take out the money.

If this money was taken out, the Cao Group would be almost finished, with very little left.

He sighed.

Xiao Jian suddenly said, "Oh right, let's work together. How about this? If you really can't come up with that much money, I can lend you some, but on the condition that you sell me some of the hospitals you own. How about that?"

Cao Jianguo was stunned.

This hospital is definitely going to be sold.

But why did Xiao Jian want to acquire it?

In this situation, what is the point of acquiring a hospital?

"Also, Huimin Pharmaceutical, I am also willing to acquire all of your shares in a package. After the matter is over, I can even give you 5 points of shares for free, but I also have conditions." Xiao Jian said.

Cao Jianguo frowned and said, "What on earth do you want to do? This formula is obviously problematic. Do you admit it?"
