"You don't need to go?"
Chu Fan looked at Qin Xue in surprise.
Qin Xue hung up the phone and said, "Cang Yizu came on his own. He's coming up now!"
Chu Fan's brows rose slightly.
It was good that he came; it saved him a trip.
He nodded and walked back to the sofa to sit down.
Soon, the receptionist brought Cang Yizu and two bodyguards into the office.
As the patriarch of the Cang family, he was extremely arrogant and presumptuous. Without Qin Xue beckoning, Cang Yizu acted as if he were in his own office and walked directly to sit opposite Chu Fan.
When Qin Xue leaned closer, he directly said, "President Qin, I believe you know why I'm here to see you?"
Qin Xue nodded and said, "President Cang, the Nine Revolutions Divine Pill formula your family obtained, was it picked up from the trash heap at Wanshu Mountain?"
She had originally thought that Cang Yizu would deny it like the Ouyang family.
Unexpectedly, Cang Yizu nodded honestly, "Yes, the formula for the Nine Revolutions Divine Pill was picked up from the trash heap by my father!"
"I also know now, the formula was probably discarded by your family, right?"
"You can even discard a divine physician's formula. You truly are a wealthy family!"
His words were filled with sarcasm, which displeased Qin Xue.
She said sternly, "President Cang, if you are here to mock me today, then please leave now."
"Otherwise, I will get angry!"
As the president of Tianfan Pharmaceutical, to have a competitor come to her office to show off, if she didn't assert herself, Qin Xue knew she would only feel more aggrieved later.
Furthermore, with Chu Fan sitting beside her, Qin Xue did not fear Cang Yizu at all.
If he dared to continue mocking, she would directly kick him out.
Cang Yizu chuckled, leaned back on the sofa with his hands spread out, his crossed legs constantly shaking.
"President Qin, I know you are also planning to launch the Nine Revolutions Divine Pill, but obviously, your speed cannot keep up with the Cang family!"
"I'm here to see you, President Qin, to tell you to stop wasting your efforts!"
"Your family discarding the formula for the Nine Revolutions Divine Pill back then meant you were destined to have no part in this opportunity."
"As long as your side is willing to give up on launching the Nine Revolutions Divine Pill, my Cang family is willing to offer you some compensation!"
The Cang family's sudden announcement of the impending launch of the Nine Revolutions Divine Pill caught Qin Xue off guard.
But Qin Xue didn't know that her company was also producing the Nine Revolutions Divine Pill, which had greatly surprised the Cang family as well.
What made the Cang family even more anxious was that Tianfan Pharmaceutical's research and production speed for the Nine Revolutions Divine Pill was significantly faster than the Cang family's.
When Cang Shanhai obtained the formula, due to the rarity of the main medicinal ingredients, it was impossible to restore the true Nine Revolutions Divine Pill. They could only use substitute ingredients with similar medicinal properties for research.
Even the Medicine King of Shanhai City spent considerable time finding all the substitute ingredients, entering research, clinical trials, and so on.
With Chu Fan's help, Qin Xue knew immediately which medicinal ingredients could be used as substitutes for the main ingredient.
The research speed almost suffocated the Cang family. They had to use their connections to delay Qin Xue's progress while skipping many steps to accelerate the launch of the Nine Revolutions Divine Pill.
In fact, the Cang family had also tried to register the Nine Revolutions Divine Pill as exclusive to the Cang family, like the Ouyang family.
However, they were directly rejected by the Imperial Medicine Hall. The main reason was the previously discovered Blood-Breaking Pill formula, which led the Imperial Medicine Hall to implement reforms.
The Divine Physician's formula was exclusive to the Dragon God Kingdom. Anyone possessing it could conduct research.
Since they could not make the Nine Revolutions Divine Pill formula exclusive to the Cang family, Cang Yizu was here today.
On one hand, he was to pressure Qin Xue.
On the other hand, he wanted to persuade Qin Xue not to struggle anymore and give up on launching the Nine Revolutions Divine Pill.
Otherwise, once Qin Xue's Nine Revolutions Divine Pill was also on the market, it would severely impact the Cang family's development, divide the market, and make it difficult for them to be the sole dominant player.
"Compensation?"
Qin Xue sneered, "President Cang, do you think I would need compensation?"
"On the contrary, if your Cang family is willing to give up on the Nine Revolutions Divine Pill, I can compensate you!"
Seeing Qin Xue say this, Cang Yizu knew that achieving his goal today would be difficult.
Courtesy first, then force.
If courtesy fails, then force must be used.
Cang Yizu's originally smiling face turned grim in an instant.
He said with a very bad attitude, "President Qin, the old saying goes, 'He who understands the times is a wise man.' My Cang family is willing to give you an opportunity now. Please consider it carefully."
"If you remain stubborn, I cannot guarantee whether your Tianfan Pharmaceutical will still exist in Shanhai City in the future."
The implication was clear: Tianfan Pharmaceutical was too weak compared to the Cang family.
It would not be difficult for the Cang family to make Tianfan Pharmaceutical unable to operate in Shanhai City.
Lost the battle but not the spirit.
Qin Xue's expression also turned cold. Just as she was about to tell Cang Yizu to get lost, Chu Fan spoke first.
"The Cang family, is it that great?"
His tone was full of disdain.
Cang Yizu's gloomy gaze suddenly fixed on Chu Fan, who was sitting opposite him. His lips curled into a smile, and he said, "I know you, President Qin's nephew. You are not weak in combat and have very good relationships with Shangguan Hongyu, the King of Towers, and Guan Hongyun, the King of Collectors."
"What, you think these few connections are enough for you to contend with my Cang family?"
"You are young and your thinking is very active. Please persuade your aunt not to engage in futile struggles, lest you end up with nothing."
"The world is not as simple as you think."
"The waters here are deep."
Chu Fan looked astonished, staring at Cang Yizu with slight surprise, and asked, "Are you trying to tell me what to do?"
"Who do you think you are, to be qualified to tell me what to do!"
"Do you believe I can throw you out of here right now?"
Threatened, Cang Yizu's eyes immediately turned fierce.
"Kid, don't think you're all that just because you have some combat skills."
"Your mediocre skills are nothing!"
"If you don't believe me, I can have my two bodyguards teach you a lesson!"
As he spoke, the two bodyguards guarding the door walked up, their eyes fixed on Chu Fan, full of provocation.
Seeking death!
Chu Fan's eyes flashed with a cold light, and just as he was about to stand up, Qin Xue quickly walked to his side and placed her hand on his shoulder, saying, "President Cang, if you want my Tianfan Pharmaceutical to give up on the Nine Revolutions Divine Pill, it's impossible!"
"The market is there for everyone to see. Whoever can capture how much depends on their own abilities!"
"My stance is very clear, you are not welcome here. Please leave!"
Although she had witnessed Chu Fan's extraordinary skills, Qin Xue knew that there was always someone better.
She did not want Chu Fan to get into a fight.
Winning would only deepen the conflict with the Cang family. Losing, or being injured by Cang Yizu's bodyguards, would pain her.
After all, Cang Yizu was no ordinary person, and his bodyguards would not be ordinary either.
He dared to say this, so he must have strong confidence.
Little did he know that if a fight truly broke out, Cang Yizu would be kneeling within a minute.
"Fine!"
Cang Yizu smiled and glanced at Chu Fan, then got up to leave.
Because Qin Xue was holding his shoulder, Chu Fan did not stand up to stop him, nor did he say anything more, as he knew his aunt disliked him fighting and did not want her to worry.
"Xiao Fan, don't blame your aunt for stopping you. It's not worth it, you know?"
Chu Fan hummed, and immediately took out his phone to send a message to Ji Ningyue.
