Chapter 271 Throwing Out the Trash
Liu Ran sat on the sofa, a mixture of anger and helplessness on her face, looking at her cousins, Liu Xin and Liu Xuhui.
She knew that these two siblings were definitely involved in the property tampering incident this time, but she had no proof.
Putting that aside, regarding her company's situation, as Liu Xin had said, without the courier services' support, her company simply couldn't operate.
Now, the lifeline of her company was firmly gripped in the hands of Liu Xin and Liu Xuhui. If she refused their terms, they could simply refuse to handle her company's business, which would be enough to bring her company crashing down.
Yet, these two demanded forty percent of the equity.
What angered Liu Ran the most was that she couldn't stand by and watch the company she had built now be so easily snatched and its fruits shared by the Liu family.
Back in the day, when things were at their worst, the Liu family not only provided no help but had also kicked her family of three out of the Liu residence.
Now that her business had improved and was making some money, they clung to her like burrs.
Liu Ran glanced at Liu Xin and Liu Xuhui. Liu Xin appeared very relaxed, smiling as she addressed Liu Ran. "Little sister Liu Ran, what are you still thinking about?"
"You're surely wondering if there are any other avenues for courier services, aren't you? Heh, we can give you time to consider!"
"If you have the nerve, go ahead and contact the couriers yourself. If you haven't decided by today, then by tomorrow, we won't be asking for just forty percent of the shares."
"It might be forty-two percent, fifty percent, or even more!"
Liu Xin laughed triumphantly. Then she stood up and surveyed Liu Ran's office. "Oh my, this office is truly luxurious!"
"It would be quite nice if I could work in such an office in the future."
Liu Ran gritted her teeth, but she was helpless.
Just then, the office door was pushed open with a bang, and Chen Yang walked in.
Chen Yang looked at Liu Xuhui and Liu Xin, and sneered, "What are you two pieces of trash doing here? Are you intentionally disgusting people?"
As he spoke, Chen Yang took out his communicator from his waist and said, "Security! Bring these two pieces of trash from the CEO's office and throw them into the trash bins."
Liu Xin was startled by this. She quickly retreated and pointed at Chen Yang angrily. "Chen Yang, are you out of your damn mind?"
"My brother and I are here today to help Liu Ran, to help Yang Yang Yang Live Broadcast Company. Do you know that we are the only ones who can help you now?"
"You want to throw me in the trash can the moment you show up? It's like a dog biting Lu Dongbin, ungratefully rejecting kindness."
Chen Yang chuckled at her words.
Beside him, Liu Ran quickly pulled at Chen Yang, saying helplessly, "Chen Yang, this matter is a bit complicated. Liu Xin and Liu Xuhui are here today for a negotiation."
"Our company is having problems with getting our deliveries out. Only they can solve it."
Chen Yang waved his hand. "How could they possibly be so kind as to help us? Let's think of other ways!"
At that moment, four security guards pushed in garbage bins. The bins still emanated a sour stench.
Chen Yang waved at the four guards. "Throw these two into the trash bins."
"Yes, Captain." Two of them immediately approached Liu Xin and Liu Xuhui.
Liu Xin's face turned pale with fright. She quickly shouted at Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, Chen Yang, are you crazy? I'm here today to talk business! Let go of me, let go of me!"
Liu Xin struggled fiercely, but two nearby security guards directly lifted her up and threw her into a trash bin.
Liu Xuhui, on the other hand, pointed at Chen Yang's nose and yelled, "Chen Yang, you good-for-nothing! It's just because our family didn't think highly of you before, and now you're retaliating for personal grudges!"
"Do you know that your actions will completely make your Yang Yang Yang Live Broadcast Company unable to survive, completely bankrupt?"
Chen Yang waved his hand, and two security guards directly lifted Liu Xuhui, head down, feet up, and with a bang, tossed him into a trash bin.
The bottom of the bin was filled with various vegetable scraps.
Liu Xuhui's head hit the bottom of the bin, and he let out a scream. He foamed at the mouth and began to vomit uncontrollably.
Liu Xin fared no better. The two security guards also shoved her in headfirst, her hair covered in maggots.
Liu Xin cursed Chen Yang viciously, "Chen Yang, you loser, you just wait for me! Don't even think about cooperating with me again!"
"I'm telling you, I'll completely bankrupt your company! I'll make sure you, this loser, can never get back up in your life. Just you wait."
The four security guards pushed the garbage bins and headed downstairs. The entire process was clean and efficient. Soon, Liu Ran's office was quiet again.
Liu Ran's mouth hung open, her expression one of shock. At that moment, Su Ya and Liu Xiaomei also hurried in.
Su Ya pointed at the garbage bin outside. "What... what's going on?"
Liu Ran painfully patted her forehead. "That guy, Chen Yang, he stuffed Liu Xuhui and Liu Ran directly into the trash cans."
"Those two siblings were here to discuss courier cooperation. Now, that's all gone. There's no negotiation at all."
Su Ya froze for a moment, then let out a snicker. She gave Chen Yang a thumbs up and said, "Chen Yang, you're amazing. To describe you in one word: fierce! Do you know that with what you've done, the company will be in big trouble next?"
Liu Xiaomei also shook her head helplessly. "Oh dear, Driver Chen, sometimes you really have to tolerate things!"
"We also can't stand those two, Liu Xuhui and Liu Xin. Seeing their arrogant looks makes us want to beat them up."
"But we can't actually beat them up. The company is facing difficulties now, and only they can solve it."
"And now, you've gotten rid of the only person who could solve it. What are we going to do?"
Liu Ran waved her hand. "Alright, alright. It's already happened, no need to discuss it further."
"Everyone, sit down and let's discuss what to do next. I'm still trying to contact courier services, and I don't know if it will be successful."
Su Ya shook her head and said to Liu Ran, "Liu Ran, the chances with the couriers are probably slim. You don't understand the courier system in our Qingzhou region."
"Although it seems like various courier companies are competing, in reality, all these couriers are intertwined. The employees, including many experienced executives in the courier industry, jump between companies. Now, for some reason, none of these couriers are shipping for our company anymore."
"Even if they agree to ship, they require us to sign a new agreement that is very exploitative. The agreement states that if counterfeit goods are delivered, or if any accidents occur during transit, the courier company will not be responsible. All blame, all customer complaints, will be borne by our company. Isn't this clearly bullying us?"
Liu Xiaomei sighed. "Yes, I've also spoken with people in the courier industry and inquired. It's very likely that Master Ma is behind this, targeting us."
"In any case, regarding courier services, if we don't pay a hefty price, I'm afraid we won't be able to find anyone to ship our goods."
