Madam Meng froze.
Originally, the head of the Meng family didn't want her to come, but Madam Meng's family was from the Fifth District, and they were in the business of medicinal herbs and pharmaceuticals. Their business had grown alongside the Meng family, and they had become a major asset to the Meng family's business. This time, they specifically instructed Madam Meng to help the family, and the head of the Meng family didn't want to lose their support, so he brought her along.
Before coming, she had been repeatedly told to speak less, and Madam Meng still harbored some resentment, but she truly hadn't intended to cause a scene regardless of the occasion, and had remained quiet the whole time. But she hadn't expected that even though she wasn't making a scene, Chang Le wouldn't let them have their way.
If, after the truth is revealed, Mrs. Meng openly apologizes for her previous baseless rumors and slanders, the matter will be over.
But now that Chang Le has given them a chance, they haven't taken it to heart and are trying to get away with it, then try to get more benefits and cooperation from her. That's not fair, and Chang Le won't tolerate it.
Everyone else was watching. Madam Meng hesitated, unable to bring herself to speak. The head of the Meng family nudged her a couple of times, urging her to apologize quickly: "I told you to be careful with your words, but you insisted on saying those nonsense to others outside. Hurry up and apologize to Chang Le."
Then, with a fawning smile, she said to Chang Le, "Have your Aunt Meng apologize to you, and let's just let this matter go."
Chang Le gave him a cold look: "Apologize publicly, or there's no point in talking."
The Meng family head's smile faltered. He glanced at Fu Jiu, who was also staring coldly at him, before finally giving in and agreeing: "Fine, make her apologize to you, a public apology. Then let's cooperate..."
Chang Le said, "According to the original contract, all subsequent additions do not count."
The Meng family head frowned deeply: "Chang Le, take a closer look. The initial document didn't include the cooperation on those top-of-the-line equipment. The document you just saw contains the most important information."
"Then why didn't you provide what we needed most in the first place, and only bring it up now?" Chen Wu retorted with a single sentence.
The head of the Meng family immediately turned cold: "Who are you, a subordinate, to interrupt us when we're talking?"
"No way," Chang Le said bluntly.
The Meng family head's expression changed immediately.
Chang Le said, "Your Meng family's threshold is too high for us. Since Patriarch Meng looks down on the people of the Qunwo Longpai Sect, let's forget about cooperation. Let's go."
After saying that, he stood up.
Unable to contain his anger, the Meng family head questioned Fu Jiu, "Mr. Jiu! This is a crucial cooperation involving various regions. Are you sure you want such a young girl to make the decision?"
Xiao Ye's personality is based on Ye Buqi's real personality; Ye Buqi is even less easy to talk to than Chang Le.
"roll."
The head of the Meng family was furious and turned to Hua Lihan to complain: "Mr. Hua, what kind of cooperative attitude is this?"
Hua Lihan: "Then forget it."
The head of the Meng family turned pale.
Over there, Chang Le and the others had already left.
Madam Meng dared not utter a sound, and the head of the Meng family remained extremely gloomy until he left the Hua family.
Back home, the head of the Meng family smashed things all over his study: "She's just a thing being fostered by someone else. Does she really think that just because she has some kind of golden medicine, everyone has to listen to her? I'd like to see how they can operate without our Meng family's equipment!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than his assistant rushed in: "Master, something terrible has happened!"
"Why are you in such a hurry?" the Meng family head scolded.
The assistant wiped his sweat and brought up the screen: "The three batches of exotic plants and other drugs that we just ordered from District Nine have all been seized by the Gray Domain Group!"
The head of the Meng family glared at him: "Gray Zone? Wolf Faction! What right do they have to seize our goods without any reason?"
The assistant said anxiously, "They said they suspect there's something wrong with where our goods went and they're going to investigate!"
Patriarch Meng's expression changed slightly: "They reported it for investigation?"
The assistant said with a bitter face, "The Gray Domain Group hasn't been touched, but... but... the investigators have already been to the company!"
The head of the Meng family stood up abruptly: "Why didn't anyone notify me?"
The assistant was on the verge of tears.
The head of the Meng family broke out in a cold sweat.
The fact that no one notified us underscores the seriousness of the situation!
The head of the Meng family's eyes darted around rapidly, and he was completely flustered.
He had just sent his assistant to run an errand, and before the assistant even left the house, he was blocked at the door by the investigators: "Mr. Meng Yuan, we are from the Tax Investigation Bureau. Please cooperate with our investigation."
...
"Ignore him, punish him as appropriate," Chang Le said to Xiang Qing on the other end of the communication.
Xiang Qing said, "I estimate that the Meng family will suffer a lot this time. Meng Yuan's hands are not clean, and an investigation will easily uncover them. Although they have been careful and haven't caused anything serious, the amount of money involved in these trivial matters is not small."
Chang Le said, "Thank you this time."
"It's nothing."
“However,” Xiang Qing said, “I have one more question. The Meng family’s equipment is indeed needed for the experiment. Your decisive refusal suggests that you have other options in mind?”
Chang Le said, "The equipment is good, but I asked Changfeng and found that a considerable portion of it is not suitable for the experiment. The experiment will definitely require the development of some specialized equipment. After screening, we found that the key equipment is not available at present."
Therefore, from the beginning, the Meng family's involvement only added specialized production lines, not equipment manufacturing technology. Their involvement was icing on the cake; not joining wouldn't have caused any fatal problems.
In the afternoon, people from other places came one after another, but Chen Wu stopped them all.
Chang Le was busy handling the research and implementation of the first batch of new plans, and meetings and communications of all sizes never stopped. When she was completely immersed in this work, Chang Le was more like the outstanding young lady of the Hua family.
