Chapter 408 Deep Virtual Reality 236
Wan Yuan wore a mask in the car, glancing at Xie Ning's face reflected in the window out of the corner of his eye. He couldn't fathom what kind of heart lay beneath her cold mask.
"You... this is a losing proposition."
"Um."
Xie Ning responded softly, then said calmly, "I have enough wealth to support the expenses of a school."
Since she has money, why doesn't she create something more valuable?
"Besides, how could this be a losing proposition?"
Those people will all be her assets; they have value in themselves and will create even more value, giving back to her and to society.
The benefits are long-term, but she doesn't mind waiting.
The hovercar stopped in front of a seaside villa. Upon seeing the car approach, the floating aircraft immediately flew over to scan it. "Verification successful, welcome home."
It's the sound of a rabbit.
Xie Ning smiled slightly. She had bought another villa, right by the sea, a true seaside villa, where you could see the sea view from inside.
Because of the appearance of alien creatures, a large number of seaside villas have been left vacant and are difficult to sell even at low prices. She happened to have some funds on hand, and seeing that this place was secluded enough, she bought one so that she could conduct experiments and meet some people.
Xie Ning came down from the top floor and saw the people sitting in the spacious living room.
Their figures were clearly visible under the bright lights, with two blond men standing out. One man was tall with neatly combed blond hair, wearing a purple suit with dark patterns. He sat calmly, holding a cup of tea in his hand, slowly sipping it, his eyes revealing confidence and composure.
The other man seemed agitated. He sat upright, but his eyes gleamed with unease, as if he were deep in thought. His fingers tapped rapidly on the sofa armrest, as if expressing his anxiety.
Perhaps it was because there was no one around that he made no attempt to conceal it.
Little did he know that there were eyes everywhere in the living room, and even the slightest facial movement of his would be captured and analyzed.
As Xie Ning entered the living room, all eyes were on her. One of the blond men stood up and greeted her with a smile, while the other merely glanced at her coldly without saying a word. Only after Charles glanced at him did he nod at Xie Ning with a stiff face.
"Hello, Mr. Ruining."
Charles spoke, his voice deep and magnetic. He had underestimated this man; he hadn't expected him to be able to control those poor people so perfectly.
Surprisingly, he originally thought that he could suppress this person with just a little trickery. After all, Ruining Pharmaceutical Company was too small. If it weren't for Henry's failure and the blatant suppression of Alibo Pharmaceutical by Sulabi City, they wouldn't have taken this company seriously.
However, the company's boss was indeed young. Although that's what Charles thought, he knew very well that you can't judge a person's age by their appearance, especially since the other person was wearing a mask.
Charles extended his hand to Shening with a friendly smile. Since he had placed Shening on an equal footing, his attitude and methods had to change.
Instead of running around trying to find connections like Henry did, it's better to address the root cause. Businessmen speak with their interests.
Xie Ning did not remove her gloves to shake hands, but simply nodded slightly before sitting down opposite the two.
Henry stared wide-eyed in disbelief. He hadn't expected this man to be so arrogant! Although the Alibo family wasn't a top-tier wealthy family, they were still a prominent force in Surabiya City! Even if they lost their pharmaceutical company in Surabiya City, it would only be a loss of an arm for their family, far from being a matter of life and death.
How dare he do that?
Henry felt very wronged for his elder brother. As the first heir of the Aribau family, when had Charles ever suffered such an insult?
Charles's smile faded, but he had a few more years of experience than Henry, so he wouldn't lose his composure over such a trivial matter.
“Mr. Charles, Mr. Henry, let’s not beat around the bush. There’s no point in going in circles. Let’s just get straight to the point.”
Xie Ning appeared relaxed, showing no sign of tension.
Charles glanced at Henry, who immediately shut up. Well, it was better not to say anything out of turn. He'd been in a terrible temper lately and was afraid he'd accidentally utter the swear words he was thinking.
"Mr. Ruining, I don't know where Alibo Pharmaceuticals has offended you that warrants such a large investment. Perhaps we can talk things out, and Alibo will definitely give you a satisfactory gift to appease your anger."
I think it's better to have more friends than enemies; it's better for both of us, isn't it?
Although Alibo has many businesses in other places, this pharmaceutical company is the only one that monopolizes a city. The profits generated here are astronomical and cannot be easily given up. Moreover, moving to another place would mean starting a new market and taking food from other people's mouths, which would be troublesome.
He prefers to settle the score with money.
In the eyes of people like them, money is indeed omnipotent; if something can't be done, it must be because the money isn't enough.
However, Charles hadn't forgotten the previous embarrassment, but he didn't think it was for any other reason. He believed that if given enough time to manage the situation, it was absolutely impossible for the project to fail.
Human hearts are easy to manipulate.
However, he also had to admit that the other side's reaction speed was indeed fast, and once they started to suppress them, they did not give them any chance to breathe.
Therefore, Charles was also unsure of the other party's intentions regarding this invitation.
Whether he was deliberately trying to make a fool of them, or taking the opportunity to extort money or make demands, or... whatever the case, Charles would accept the invitation.
His keen intuition allowed him to sense a glimmer of hope for a resolution. If they could talk, all the better; if not, he would have to resort to some unconventional methods.
I wonder if the other party will regret letting the wolf into their house.
