Soon, Wang Liang had finished his examination, and he had indeed recovered.
He was overjoyed, his smile stretching from ear to ear.
His current mood was one of renewed hope, like finding a bright village after passing through dark mountains.
"Excellent, excellent..."
Wang Liang chuckled, glancing at Chen Fan a short distance away. "You can go back. I'll have the suppression of Bingqing Cosmetics lifted immediately!"
"Good!"
Chen Fan nodded without saying more and left the reception room.
As soon as Chen Fan was gone, Wang Liang's demeanor changed. His eyes darkened, and he spat hatefully, "What a fool, so easy to deceive!"
"I never imagined that a problem that has plagued me for years could be solved by a young man!"
"Tsk tsk!"
He mused,
already fantasizing about the passionate encounter that night.
Chen Fan and Xia Bingqing left the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce.
Xia Bingqing looked at Chen Fan curiously and asked, "What did you say to Wang Liang in the reception room? He agreed to lift the suppression just like that?"
Chen Fan said mysteriously, "The secrets of heaven must not be revealed!"
Xia Bingqing frowned. "You're hiding it even from me?"
Unhappily, she punched Chen Fan's shoulder.
Chen Fan feigned a cry of pain and then asked, "Do you really want to know?"
Xia Bingqing nodded, her curiosity piqued. "Stop beating around the bush and tell me quickly!"
So, Chen Fan told Xia Bingqing about Wang Liang's illness.
Instantly, Xia Bingqing's face turned as red as a branding iron. "You... Chen Fan, go die!"
Chen Fan: ???
He was utterly bewildered.
*Cough!*
Why?
"Pervert!"
Xia Bingqing spat.
Chen Fan said helplessly, "Weren't you curious? Now it's my fault?"
"A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea!"
However, Xia Bingqing did not let the topic linger. She said, "Are you sure that after curing Wang Liang, he will lift the suppression?"
Chen Fan frowned, "Don't tell me he's lying to me?"
Xia Bingqing said, "People in the business world are full of schemes, and those who play dirty tricks behind the scenes are even more numerous!"
"I don't think this matter can be resolved so easily!"
"Because it involves the Bai family of Donghai!"
Hearing this, Chen Fan felt Xia Bingqing's analysis made sense. He said, "It seems we can't return to Lincheng yet!"
"You call immediately and ask if the sanctions have been lifted!"
Xia Bingqing nodded.
She took out her phone and inquired. After a while, her expression grew serious.
Looking at Chen Fan, she shook her head...
"Not yet!"
Lifting sanctions should have been a matter of a single word, yet there had been no movement at all.
It was evident that what Wang Liang had said earlier was complete nonsense!
Chen Fan felt a surge of anger at this, as he detested liars more than anything in his life. "Let's go... we're going back again!"
They returned to the entrance of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce.
The door was already locked tight!
Chen Fan increasingly felt he had been thoroughly tricked, and he grumbled with clenched teeth, "Damn it, he dared to mess with me!"
"Call this dog Wang immediately!"
Xia Bingqing paused for a moment, took out her phone, and dialed Wang Liang's number. The call went through, but no one answered.
Little did they know, their actions were being clearly observed by Wang Liang, who was sitting in front of the surveillance monitors.
"Hmph... little brat, you're still too young to play games with me!"
Of course, locking the door was his idea too.
With a single lock, he shut Chen Fan and Xia Bingqing out.
Wang Liang hummed a tune, his joy uncontainable. "They want me to offend the behemoth that is the Bai family of Donghai for the sake of a mere Bingqing Cosmetics? They must be dreaming!"
"Idiot..."
