Chapter 310 Chapter 310 Critical Situation
The whooshing sound accompanied by white mist rose up, filling the entire laboratory with a rich aroma in an instant.
"My gosh, what is this scent? Why do I feel so refreshed?"
"Alas, didn't we just use the same formula? Why did the result come out differently?"
"Mr. Chen, how on earth did you do it?"
...
Chen Yu set the remaining potion aside, "This is just some basic chemical pharmacology knowledge. The more you practice, the more you'll understand!"
"I hope each of you will not just work here but also learn many necessary things."
All the researchers present looked at Chen Yu with admiration, treating him almost like a deity at that moment.
After giving some more details about the experiment, Chen Yu left directly.
After all, these people were professional researchers; there was no need for lengthy explanations, as they would figure out the rest on their own.
If they couldn't reach that level, then there was no reason for the pharmaceutical plant to keep them around.
Just out of the industrial park, an extremely seductively dressed woman, in her high heels, hurried forward and handed an invitation to Chen Yu.
"Mr. Chen, I don't know if you're available tonight at eight? There's a banquet set up especially for you at Ocean Paradise, and we hope you can grace us with your presence."
Chen Yu frowned as soon as he saw the woman, knowing she must be someone's secretary, but her attire was a bit too much.
Not only was she seductively charming, the fabric of her clothes combined was less than a single item Chen Yu wore.
If it were someone else, they would have had a nosebleed by now.
Chen Yu took the invitation and saw many names written on it, more than forty in total.
He was familiar with these names; they were all the factory managers and persons in charge from the nearby industrial park. It looked like these people couldn't restrain themselves any longer.
After all, Chen Yu had effortlessly taken over Boss Xu's operation, so naturally, the others were envious and wanted to dispose of their non-performing assets in the shortest time possible, so they had to turn to Chen Yu.
This was indeed a great opportunity to expand the factory area.
"I have other plans tonight; eight is too early for me, tell them to wait for me until ten!"
Chen Yu replied casually, put away the invitation, and walked away, not expecting the little secretary to follow closely behind him.
Chen Yu slightly knitted his brows, "What are you doing?"
The little secretary trembled slightly, "When I was sent here, General Gao already mentioned, starting from today, I'll be your secretary. Whatever you want to do, just do it…"
Chen Yu felt a sense of disgust. These people really went to great lengths to deal with their non-performing assets.
"You can go back; I don't need you here!"
As soon as he had spoken, the little secretary stumbled and fell to the ground.
"Mr. Chen, please don't send me away, if I go back today, not only will I not get paid, but General Gao will also fire me!"
The sudden tearful plea caught Chen Yu off guard.
His mind was filled with a complete set of psychological knowledge, and he could tell at a glance that the little secretary wasn't faking it.
And looking at her flushed face, it seemed this was her first time dressing so scantily, she didn't even seem comfortable in the high heels.
The reason she had fallen to the ground just now was that she twisted her ankle in her heels, and ended up kneeling down as a result.
"What? Could it be that you were forced here by Manager Gao and the others?"
The young secretary bit her lip, "I came voluntarily. Manager Gao promised me that as long as I get the job done, he would pay for my parents' medical expenses."
Chen Yu frowned deeply. How could this be voluntary?
He took a closer look at the young secretary in front of him and noticed that she was barely past twenty, with delicate, fair skin and a pretty face—a rare beauty indeed.
However, her otherwise perfect hands were filled with calluses, and there were many needle holes on her fingers.
It was clear that the girl often did needlework. Experience more on empire
Chen Yu took off his coat and tossed it to the young secretary.
"If you're willing to follow, then come!"
The young secretary, not daring to say much, quickly draped the coat over her shoulders and followed.
Tong Group, Suzhou City branch.
Tong Ming was holding a small meeting.
Three company directors sat beside him, with several secretaries frantically switching between videos and documents.
"The international situation has been getting worse lately. Over in Europe, the Edward Family suddenly became aggressive, absorbing several groups under the Charlies family's flag, and it's said that they are planning to move against William's family next. Our business in Europe seems to have been affected too."
"Director Tong, considering the size of our group, a confrontation with the Edward Family could very well cost us the whole company. I suggest we avoid their sharp edge, after all, our roots are in the East."
"Some good news has come from the capital though. Our project with the Tang Family has entered a comprehensive strategic phase. Except for the Zhao Family, the other families are all supporting us."
...
This director analyzed the current situation and through the secretary beside him, passed the report to Tong Ming.
However, Tong Ming seemed uninterested in these reports. He glanced at them briefly before setting them aside and continued staring at the big screen.
According to the current situation, the best option for Tong Group now is to temporarily pull out of Europe, perhaps even from the entire Western market, and solidify its base in the East.
When necessary, it might even have to pull out of Suzhou City and retreat to the capital.
Deep down, Tong Ming was reluctant to do so. It felt like conceding without even being hit, and moreover, it meant giving up all the benefits to others.
The office suddenly fell silent, and even the secretaries weaving between them seemed at a loss.
Just then, the door was slowly pushed open, and Chen Yu hurried in with the young secretary previously mentioned.
The directors present were startled for a moment, then rose to their feet, asking courteously.
After all, Chen Yu was Tong Ming's son-in-law, and there were certain formalities they had to observe.
Chen Yu responded briefly and then took a seat next to Tong Ming.
"Dad, why the urgency to call me over?"
Tong Ming sighed helplessly, "It's not that I'm in a hurry. We're just in a state of internal and external troubles! The Edward Family is relentlessly pressing in the European market, and the Chu Family has spread from the Magic City to Suzhou City, wanting to challenge us. It's a difficult situation."
Chen Yu was aware of these issues, but he hadn't calculated that the combination of these issues would put such pressure on Tong Ming.
"Dad, you don't need to worry. I might have a way to win over the Chu Family. As for William's family, they will probably cooperate with us."
Tong Ming was well aware of Chen Yu's relationship with William's family, but convincing the Chu Family was not so simple.
