Song Qiao's eyes narrowed as he stared at the photograph before him.
Gao Meng, sensing the sudden chilling aura, trembled all over. A bad premonition struck her. Could he be someone of great importance?
"Song Qiao, are you alright?"
Song Qiao gazed at Cui Haotze's photo, lost in thought, ignoring Gao Meng.
Gao Meng felt puzzled. She had never seen Song Qiao so serious before.
It seemed the other party's background was truly extraordinary!
"Song Qiao?"
Gao Meng, filled with apprehension, waved her hand in front of Song Qiao's eyes.
Interrupted by Gao Meng, Song Qiao finally came back to his senses, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
"What are you doing now?"
Song Qiao grabbed Gao Meng's hand, as if intending to pull her into his embrace.
Gao Meng was startled by Song Qiao's sudden, rough force and quickly struggled free.
"Song Qiao, who exactly is this person?"
"You've been so serious since you saw the photo!"
The force Song Qiao used clearly indicated he wanted to pull her close. After dodging, Gao Meng's cheeks flushed, and she quickly changed the subject.
"What seriousness?"
Song Qiao's gaze returned to Cui Haotze's photo, and he let out a cold laugh:
"Does a firefly dare to compete with the sun and moon?"
"Just some insignificant trash."
"What surprises me is that he actually remembers my grudge!"
"How interesting."
As Song Qiao spoke, a playful and reflective expression crossed his face.
"Remembers your grudge?"
"You two knew each other before?"
"Quickly tell me who he is!"
"If he can make all the hospitals in the city obey his command, his background must be no small matter!"
Song Qiao said dismissively:
"Cui Haotze!"
The name seemed vaguely familiar to Gao Meng, and she was unsure. Just as she was about to ask Song Qiao, he continued:
"Last time he harassed Li Bingqing, I taught him a good lesson."
"He still hasn't learned his lesson!"
Thinking of the incident, Song Qiao's voice deepened.
"You actually provoked Cui Haotze for Li Bingqing?"
Gao Meng stared at Song Qiao with wide eyes, her face filled with surprise, followed by an indescribable hint of grievance.
"So Cui Haotze is here for you this time!"
Gao Meng snorted, expressing her slight displeasure.
"Heh, speaking of Li Bingqing, why are you reacting like this?"
"Jealous?"
Song Qiao asked with a half-smile. Gao Meng met his gaze, but kept dodging, not daring to look.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore!"
Seeing Gao Meng's embarrassed expression, Song Qiao dropped his playful demeanor and comforted her:
"Don't worry, just as I could teach Cui Haotze a lesson for Li Bingqing, I can avenge your current grievance!"
"Can you stop waiting for me like I'm your mortal enemy, okay?"
"That's more like it!"
Hearing Song Qiao's words, Gao Meng felt a surge of joy in her heart, though her expression remained proud.
"Cui Haotze, his family is powerful. Sunshine Pharmaceutical alone makes all the hospitals in the city subservient!"
"Furthermore, they have the status of foreign dignitaries."
"If this is not handled properly, it could easily lead to diplomatic trouble!"
Gao Meng's worry about Cui Haotze's targeting was evident.
Song Qiao nodded, signaling Gao Meng to continue.
"Right now, Ye Zhiwei's new company is gaining momentum, appearing glorious, but it's actually fraught with hidden dangers."
"A tall tree in the forest is bound to be destroyed by the wind!"
"This is not just a principle of cultivation, but also a truth in business!"
"If someone were to unite and attack Ye Zhiwei, even if the company survives, it would likely be severely weakened."
The more Gao Meng analyzed, the less confident she became, finally sighing:
"Therefore, if Ye Zhiwei's company funds are used for pressure, and if competitors catch wind of it, it will be too late."
"All the effort will be in vain!"
Song Qiao sensed the pessimism in Gao Meng's tone, but more than that, he felt her worry for himself and their future.
For Song Qiao, this was enough!
"Take a sip of water to calm yourself down, don't be so pessimistic."
"I'll take you to handle it in a bit!"
Hearing Song Qiao's words, Gao Meng forgot to take the water cup he offered, and asked excitedly:
"Song Qiao, you have a solution?"
Gao Meng tugged at Song Qiao's free arm, like a little girl asking her parents for something she wanted, and shook his arm against her chest.
"Hiss!"
Song Qiao gasped and muttered to himself:
"I underestimated you!"
"Song Qiao, what are you muttering to yourself about!"
"Quickly tell me, what solution have you thought of?"
Song Qiao placed the water cup back on the table and glared at Gao Meng:
"Your state of mind is unstable!"
Gao Meng met Song Qiao's gaze, feeling somewhat ashamed, and stared intently at her toes.
"I haven't thought of a solution!"
"We'll deal with whatever comes our way!"
Ye Zhiwei had seen Song Qiao's little actions clearly.
With the current difficulties, he still had the mood to flirt?
The key question was, how much had Song Qiao been hiding from her?
The sales manager sighed:
"Mr. Song, currently only one county hospital is willing to sign a supply contract with us!"
"But that's far from enough!"
Gao Meng seemed to recall something and added:
"Director Zhang is a high-ranking official in the local medical system. If he interferes, this cooperation might also fall through!"
After Gao Meng finished speaking, a dead silence fell upon the office!
Because what Gao Meng said was the reality!
Had their nascent business empire been nipped in the bud?
Ye Zhiwei bit her lip, unwilling to accept it, as did everyone else.
Song Qiao surveyed the atmosphere in the office and reassured everyone with a firm tone:
"Don't worry!"
"I said I would solve it!"
"To build an invincible commercial empire, the difficulties will only increase!"
"If you're disheartened by this minor setback, how will you bear greater responsibilities in the future?"
Song Qiao's words were somewhat admonishing, yet his tone was calm, bringing an inexplicable sense of reassurance to everyone.
"Gao Meng, make some simple preparations!"
"Take me to the Drug Administration Bureau!"
Song Qiao commanded, a trace of madness flashing in his eyes.
Within the same city, the drive took only moments.
At the Drug Administration Bureau, Song Qiao sat opposite the leader, looking remarkably relaxed.
Conversely, the director of the Drug Administration Bureau seemed fidgety, his expression quite awkward.
"Mr. Song, that's the situation."
"You're putting me in a difficult position, but it's no use!"
Song Qiao did not get any useful information from this leader.
"Moreover, that Cui Haotze has ties to Korean conglomerates!"
"This is no longer a situation where a small local bureau chief like me can have any say!"
After the drug administration leader spoke, seeing that Song Qiao had no intention of leaving, he became more distressed.
His throat trembled continuously.
Song Qiao, seeing the drug administration leader had more to say, calmly stated:
"Is there any other information you've omitted?"
The leader receiving Song Qiao finally couldn't bear it any longer, sweat beading on his forehead:
"Mr. Song, I'll be honest with you!"
"The young master of the provincial governor was involved in persecuting a young girl!"
"This incident has been plaguing him lately, leaving him no time to deal with Cui Haotze's matters!"
