The leader was a middle-aged man with a medium build who was wearing a gray tailored cloth shirt.
Seeing the Chen family arrive, Su Qingmei led a group of higher-ups and hurriedly went up to them.
Yang Luo followed and asked Xu Yan in a low voice, “Assistant Xu, who is that middle-aged man?”
Xu Yan replied softly, “That middle-aged man is Chen Haisheng, the third brother of the current head of the Chen family, Chen Lichuan. He’s also the representative sent by the Chen family this time.”
“Oh…”
Yang Luo nodded in realization.
“Welcome to Hua Mei Biomedical, Mr. Chen!”
Su Qingmei smiled and extended her hand to Chen Haisheng.
“Sorry to keep you waiting, President Su.”
Chen Haisheng also extended his hand.
Although Chen Haisheng said that, his expression was arrogant and he had no intention of apologiy on his face.
The other members of the Chen family also had contempt in their eyes. They looked down on the people from Hua Mei Biomedical.
After all, they came from an ancient Chinese medicine family in Ning City, and their ancestors were imperial physicians from the previous dynasties.
Therefore, no matter where they went, they would be treated as distinguished guests.
Therefore, they had the right to be proud.
Su Qingmei smiled and shook her head, “Mr. Chen, we only waited for a while.
“By the way, the hotel has already been booked. After we’re done talking later, everyone can go straight to the hotel to rest.”
As she spoke, Su Qingmei gestured for them to enter, “Everyone, please come in!”
Then, Su Qingmei led Chen Haisheng and the others towards the company.
However, Yang Luo did not follow her in. He shouted at Xu Yan, “Assistant Xu, come here for a moment!”
“Assistant Yang, what’s wrong?”
Xu Yan walked over.
“1 have something urgent to attend to at the Liu family, so I won’t be going up with you.”
Yang Luo replied and took the document and pen from Xu Yan’s hand.
He opened the document and found a piece of white paper. Yang Luo picked up a pen and wrote a secret recipe on the paper.
Then, he handed the document and pen to Xu Yan, “Assistant Xu, this is a beauty secret recipe 1 wrote. If President Su and the Chen family’s negotiations fail later, give this secret recipe to President Su.”
“Assistant Yang…”
Just as Xu Yan was about to ask, Yang Luo hurriedly ran to the side of the road, hailed a taxi, and left the company.
She opened the document and looked at the secret recipe that Yang Luo had just written. She muttered, “Could this really be a beauty secret recipe?
“Since Assistant Yang said so, 1’11 show it to President Su later.”
As she spoke, Xu Yan quickly closed the document and walked into the company.
At this moment, in the company lobby.
“Mr. Chen, do you want to visit our company first?”
Su Qingmei asked Chen Haisheng.
“What’s there to see about a small company?”
A gorgeously dressed young woman behind Chen Haisheng suddenly spoke out.
Upon hearing this, Su Qingmei couldn’t help but frown, feeling a little displeased.
Although Hua Mei Biomedical had yet to expand beyond Jiang City, its scale was not small.
Now that someone was looking down on her company, she was naturally unhappy.
However, Chen Haisheng did not blame the woman. Instead, he said calmly, “President Su, forget about the tour. Let’s get down to business.”
“Alright then.”
Su Qingmei nodded.
Soon, Su Qingmei led everyone to the elevator and arrived at the meeting room on the 29th floor.
When they entered the meeting room, everyone took their seats.
Su Qingmei also instructed a few employees to pour tea.
After the conference room door closed, Chen Haisheng took a sip of tea and said, “President Su, 1 won’t beat around the bush with you
As long as you can afford it, 1’11 sell you the beauty secret recipe passed down from our Chen family’s ancestors.”
“Mr. Chen is indeed straightforward.”
Su Qingmei nodded and said, “Then how much is Mr. Chen looking at?”
Chen Haisheng raised five fingers.
“Fifty million?”
Su Qingmei was stunned.
The budget price in her heart was 100 million.
If she could buy this secret recipe with 50 million, she would have saved 50 million.
Chen Haisheng shook his head and said, “President Su, my price is not 50 million, but 500 million.”
Just as he finished his sentence!
The people from Hua Mei Biomedical went into an uproar!
“What?! 500 million?!”
“500 million is too much. This is simply extortion!”
“President Su, you have to think about it!”
Everyone from Hua Mei Biomedical spoke one after another.
Su Qingmei frowned as well.
The price in her heart was 100 million, but the other party was now asking for 500 million.
This was far beyond her budget.
Moreover, based on their accounts, the company could not fork out so much money right now.
Chen Haisheng narrowed his eyes and said, “President Su, we came all the way from Ning City with sincerity.
“I hope President Su won’t let us down.”
Su Qingmei took a deep breath and said, “Mr. Chen, we want to take a look at the secret recipe first and see if it’s worth this price.”
“That’s not a problem.”
Chen Haisheng nodded. Then, he took out a password box and entered the password.
Soon, Chen Haisheng opened the password box and took out a piece of golden cloth, handing it to Su Qingmei.
In any case, the secret recipe only stated the name of the herbs. As for the quantity of the herbs, the concoction method, and other important information, it was all withheld. That was why he dared to show the secret recipe to Su Qingmei and the others.
Su Qingmei took the golden cloth and took a look, but she couldn’t understand it.
Hence, she handed the golden cloth to the research team.
The research and development team began to browse through the secret recipe recorded on the golden cloth.
A few minutes later…
A middle-aged man wearing glasses said, “President Su, this is indeed the secret recipe of the previous dynasty’s beautifying product, the Eight Whites Powder.
It is rumored that the empress and noble consorts of the previous dynasty had also used this secret recipe. This is a precious recipe.
However, this recipe is only an incomplete piece. It’s a pity.”
This middle-aged man was the leader of the R&D team, Lu Huajun.
Chen Haisheng said proudly, “If this Eight Whites Powder is complete, then our price won’t be just 500 million, but at least a billion.”
Su Qingmei said, “Mr. Chen, we sincerely want to buy this secret recipe. 1 hope the price can be lower.”
Lu Huajun also smiled and said, “Mr. Chen, we hope to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with the Chen family, so…”
Chen Haisheng directly interrupted, “500 million is already the lowest price. We can’t go any lower.”
“Well…”
Su Qingmei pursed her lips and fell into a dilemma.
The smile on Lu Huajun’s face froze as well.
This Chen Haisheng was too unreasonable. There was no room for negotiation.
“If you can’t afford it, then don’t buy it!”
“It’s not like you’re the only company that wants to buy our secret recipe!”
“Since you don’t have money, why did you even ask to buy the secret recipe? You made us run so far!”
The other members of the Chen family sneered, their eyes filled with disdain and mockery.
The expressions of Su Qingmei and the others turned even uglier.
If it wasn’t for the fact that they had a favor to ask of them, they wouldn’t have taken such a humiliation lying down.
“Since you can’t fork out the money, forget it!”
Chen Haisheng said disdainfully, then stood up and said, “Let’s go!”
As he spoke, Chen Haisheng prepared to leave with the Chen family..
