Director Wang slammed his pen on the table, his face as pale as paper. "I don't understand what you're saying!"
Shi Heng switched directly to the next PPT and zoomed in on the scanned copy of the agreement. "We signed it last month. Your son persuaded you to side with Chenxiao Medical, so you can get an extra 2% share."
"Bullshit!" Director Wang stood up suddenly. "How dare that kid do something behind my back?!"
Shi Heng patted the folder. "Here are the originals. I'm not here to settle accounts today, but to show you—Chen Xiao Medical's so-called 'sincerity' is nothing more than using your family as a bargaining chip."
Zhang Li frowned, "Is Mr. Shi investigating our private affairs?"
"Only investigate matters that affect the acquisition." Shi Heng looked around. "Kangrui's offer is higher, and it's not so complicated. You can keep your positions, your reputations, and... your families' integrity."
He stared at Director Wang specifically, "For example, someone's son's gambling debt record, or someone's academic scandal."
The conference room was deathly silent.
Director Chen hesitated for a long time before saying, "We need time to think about it."
Shi Heng threw out his business card. "Okay, but the deadline given by Chen Xiao Medical is tomorrow at noon. Call me when you've thought it through."
…
At eight o'clock in the evening, Shi Heng and Si Wenjie returned to the presidential suite of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel under the escort of bodyguards.
Si Wenjie loosened his tie and looked at Shi Heng, who was standing in front of the French window in a daze. "Do you want to order room service? You barely ate anything today."
Shi Heng shook his head, took out his phone and checked the time, "You eat first, I'll make a call."
He walked into the bedroom and made a video call to Gu Youran.
The screen quickly lit up, and Gu Youran was wearing home clothes, curled up on the sofa in the living room reading a book.
She smiled and put the book aside. "Are we here yet? How's the weather in Magic City?"
"It's cold." Shi Heng directly put the scarf in front of the camera, "I found this drafty scarf you knitted."
Gu Youran's eyes lit up, "Put it on quickly!"
He put on a scarf, and the beige cashmere made his face look even colder and harder.
Gu Youran shouted from the other end, "Wow! My husband is so handsome! But the stitches... look like they were gnawed by a dog."
"Who are you calling poor craftsmanship?" Shi Heng deliberately tugged at the spot where the stitches were missing. "You can put two fingers in there, and the wind will blow up your neck."
"Shi Heng!" Gu Youran slammed the sofa angrily. "I took it apart five times to get it to this point. The thread is almost gone!"
Amidst the laughter, she suddenly leaned closer to the screen and asked, "Why are your eyes so red? Did you stay up late again?"
"Just finished a meeting." Shi Heng said vaguely, "What are you doing at home?"
"I missed you!" Gu Youran blushed after saying that, and quickly added, "No, I was just teasing you."
After hanging up the phone, Shi Heng touched the crooked stitches on his scarf and cursed in a low voice: "Little liar."
When I walked out of the bedroom, I found Si Wenjie was video chatting with Shi Yining.
"Yining, don't worry... Yes, Ah Heng is in good condition... Well, he will be able to see Dean Zhou tomorrow..."
Si Wenjie looked up and saw Shi Heng, said a few words hurriedly and hung up.
"Is it my sister calling?" Shi Heng sat down on the sofa.
Si Wenjie nodded, "She just had surgery and is worried that you're working too hard."
"Actually, I also want to ask, are you really planning to make a 4 billion offer tomorrow?"
Shi Heng opened his laptop and said, "I've calculated this number, and it's right at the financing limit of Chenxiao Medical."
“I’m not talking about the price.”
Si Wenjie poured a glass of milk and pushed it towards him. "I mean, is it worth it for a technology with a success rate of less than 30%?"
Shi Heng's fingers paused on the keyboard for a moment. "Do you know how many people said 'impossible' when I founded Jinrui in Country Y five years ago?"
Si Wenjie shook his head.
"A total of 37 investors. Every so-called industry ceiling they set eventually became my springboard."
Si Wenjie was surprised: "So this time..."
“It’s the same this time.”
Shi Heng pulled up information on neural remodeling technology. "Since there's a 30% success rate in medicine, it means someone has already crossed the line from zero to one."
"What we need to do next... is to push this limit to the extreme."
Si Wenjie looked at his resolute profile and suddenly thought of Shi Heng when he was in junior high school.
At that time, in the high school physics competition, he used three different methods to solve the problems that were beyond the scope of the syllabus.
That's just how he is. Once he sets his sights on a goal, he never looks back.
From Jinrui Fund to Kangrui Hospital, this man seems to be born to make what others think is impossible possible.
At three o'clock in the morning, Si Wenjie went to the living room to drink water and found that the light in Shi Heng's room was still on.
When I pushed the door open, I saw him frowning at a screen full of neurology papers. The notebook spread out on the table was already filled with densely written notes.
"Are you still studying this?" Si Wenjie put the water cup in his hand on the table.
Shi Heng rubbed his temples and said, "I have no basic knowledge and I don't understand many of the professional terms."
Si Wenjie glanced at the various reports on the screen about the Pujiang Center and suddenly understood something. "Are you analyzing their technical feasibility?"
"Well, but a 30% success rate is really too low."
"But medical research needs to proceed step by step and cannot be rushed."
"I can't wait. Youbao...she's taking risks every day. I have to hurry."
"Do you need my help?" Si Wenjie pulled over a chair and sat down.
Shi Heng shook his head. "Go and rest. We have a tough battle tomorrow."
When Si Wenjie returned to the guest room, he couldn't help but send another message to Shi Yining:
[You're right. The extent to which Shi Heng loves Gu Youran has already exceeded our comprehension.]
…
Nine o'clock in the morning.
A tense atmosphere permeated the conference room of the Pujiang Brain Science Center.
The nine directors have taken their seats, with President Zhou sitting at the head.
Gu Chen walked in with two assistants, a determined smile on his face. "Good morning, everyone. I'm here to sign..."
The sound stopped abruptly.
Because he noticed that the directors had unusually serious expressions.
"Mr. Gu, please take a seat." Dean Zhou spoke first.
Gu Chen narrowed his eyes and slowly sat down in the empty seat, "Is this not a signing meeting?"
"After an all-night discussion by the board of directors..." Dean Zhou took a deep breath, "We have decided to accept the acquisition of Kangrui Hospital."
The smile on Gu Chen's face froze instantly.
He slowly stood up, his hands resting on the conference table. "President Zhou, are you kidding? We've clearly already..."
"Mr. Gu," Director Li interrupted him, "Kangrui's offer is more generous, and..."
"And what?" Gu Chen slammed the table. "Just because they offered an extra 500 million? I can offer that price, too!"
Director Zhang Li said calmly, "It's not just a matter of price. We've assessed the risks. Chenxiao Medical's overseas projects..."
"Those are just slanders from our competitors!" Gu Chen interrupted sharply, turning to Dean Zhou. "You know, the technology transfer and international cooperation we promised..."
“Does this include the technology for illegal operations?”
The door of the conference room suddenly opened, and Shi Heng walked in with Si Wenjie.
