Thinking of the antidote being stolen, Tan Zhengchu couldn't help but whisper to himself: "Who is this woman? What is her purpose?"
Seeing this, the third brother couldn't help but persuade: "Mr. Tan, why don't you go see her? As long as you get better, we can talk about other things slowly."
Tan Zhengchu sneered, with a hint of disdain in his tone: "No matter what she wants, I will not satisfy her. I, Tan Zhengchu, never accept threats."
After he finished speaking, he crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it into the trash can. He said decisively, "Third Brother, give Lin Quan another set of equipment to strengthen the security system. I don't want something like this to happen again."
The third brother nodded, but there was still worry in his eyes: "Mr. Tan, your health..."
Tan Zhengchu waved his hand and interrupted him: "I know my own business."
Lin Quan looked at Tan Zhengchu and said in a serious tone: "Mr. Tan, I will take care of the laboratory matters. But you must keep the virus in mind. We don't have much time."
Tan Zhengchu raised his eyes slightly, without responding directly to Lin Quan's words.
He looked through the window at the night in the distance, feeling a little uneasy.
He had a hunch that the purpose of the person who was looking for him was not simple.
Moreover, the request she made might be something he could not easily agree to.
"No matter who you are, it's not easy to get anything from me."
Tan Zhengchu murmured in a low voice, with a hint of coldness in his voice.
…
After leaving the laboratory, Tan Zhengchu drove to the Tan Group.
He hadn't handled company affairs personally for a long time, and there were piles of documents on his desk waiting for his signature.
As soon as she entered the office, Yang Meili came in holding a stack of documents and said respectfully, "Mr. Tan, these are the documents that need your signature, and there are some urgent matters that need your review."
Tan Zhengchu nodded, took the document, glanced at the top contract, and asked casually, "Does the company have any cooperation projects with Su's recently?"
Yang Meili was stunned for a moment, then opened the small notebook she carried with her and quickly looked for relevant information.
"Yes, Mr. Tan. The Su Corporation recently changed its president, and the new president, Su Yingqing, has invited you to dinner tonight. Assistant Liu was originally scheduled to attend, but if you are interested, you can go in person."
Tan Zhengchu raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a hint of amusement: "Su Yingqing? She is very quick."
He pondered for a moment, then said, "I will go to the dinner tonight in person."
The secretary nodded, quickly noted the arrangements, and then left the office.
On the other side, Su Yingqing arrived at the hotel early.
She was wearing a well-tailored black dress, with exquisite makeup, and a strong aura in her every move.
Next to her stood a tall and handsome male assistant. The two behaved intimately and talked in low voices from time to time, attracting the attention of people around them.
The male assistant leaned forward slightly, close to Su Yingqing's ear, and said in an ambiguous tone: "Boss Su, tonight's plan will definitely go smoothly."
Su Yingqing chuckled, with a hint of pride in her eyes: "Of course, Tan Zhengchu is not such an easy person to deal with, but I am sure."
Just then, the door of the box was pushed open and Tan Zhengchu walked in.
His appearance instantly interrupted the ambiguous atmosphere between Su Yingqing and the male assistant.
When Su Yingqing saw Tan Zhengchu, a light flashed in her eyes. She immediately pushed aside the male assistant and stood up to greet him: "Mr. Tan, we didn't expect you to come in person. It's our honor."
Tan Zhengchu smiled faintly, his eyes swept over Su Yingqing's clothes, and said calmly: "Mr. Su's clothes are very tasteful, but the smile can be more natural."
Su Yingqing's smile froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal: "Mr. Tan is really humorous. Please sit down, we can eat and chat at the same time."
After Tan Zhengchu sat down, he looked directly at Su Yingqing, with a hint of scrutiny in his tone: "The cooperation between Tan and Su is one of our biggest projects. As the president of Tan, I need to evaluate the profitability of Su under the leadership of the new president."
His words were straightforward, and he made no secret of his doubts about Su Yingqing's abilities.
Su Yingqing's face turned red, but she quickly adjusted herself and said confidently, "Don't worry, Mr. Tan. Under my leadership, Su's will definitely be better than before. We are confident that we can achieve a deeper cooperation with Tan's."
Tan Zhengchu tapped the table lightly, saying calmly, "I hope so. However, the premise of cooperation is the strength and sincerity of both parties. President Su, what do you think?"
Su Yingqing's smile was a little forced, but she still maintained a decent attitude: "Of course, Mr. Tan is right. We will use practical actions to prove the value of Su's."
The dinner was held in a seemingly calm atmosphere, but the confrontation behind the scenes became increasingly intense.
This is the first contract renewed by Su Yingqing with the Tan Group after he took over as president of Su Corporation.
If she can succeed, her position in the Su family will be more stable and her authority will be established.
However, Tan Zhengchu's attitude turned her initial expectations into disappointment.
She thought to herself, "Is he deliberately making things difficult for me? Or does he not trust my ability?"
She originally thought that Tan Zhengchu's personal attendance at the dinner was a sign of his appreciation for her, and that he might even have some affection for her.
But at this moment, she realized that she might have misunderstood his intentions.
Tan Zhengchu's attitude remained cold. Facing Su Yingqing's enthusiasm, he simply responded indifferently: "Boss Su, we need to consider the cooperation carefully."
Su Yingqing gritted his teeth and decided to take the initiative.
She raised her glass and said sincerely, "Mr. Tan, to show our sincerity, Su's is willing to increase the profit share by 10% on the original basis. We have always performed very well on the project, and I hope you can give us a chance."
Tan Zhengchu glanced at the wine glass and said calmly: "Sorry, I don't drink when I socialize."
Su Yingqing's hands froze in mid-air, and the smile on her face seemed to be unable to maintain.
She put down her glass, and the pressure in her heart doubled.
If the contract cannot be signed this time, shareholders will question her ability and her position as president may even be shaken.
She took a deep breath and made up her mind: "No matter what, I will try my best to get this contract!"
She turned to her assistant Xiao Liu and whispered, "Go get the best red wine. Mr. Tan likes red wine."
Xiao Liu quickly stood up and walked out of the box.
He knew in his heart that when Su Yingqing asked him to get the best red wine, it usually meant that she was going to put drugs in the wine.
Xiao Liu was very familiar with Su Yingqing's methods, and thought to himself: "I'm afraid that Mr. Tan will not be able to escape this trick tonight."
However, Tan Zhengchu had already seen through everything.
Tan Zhengchu sat opposite, never picking up his chopsticks, his eyes calm and deep.
His attitude made Su Yingqing feel uneasy, but she still tried to maintain her composure.
