Chapter 368: Unexpected Translator: Tim Editor: GlobeGlotter

Suddenly realizing her actions, Yu Miaodan quickly said, “Excuse me, that was an accident. Now, I’ll read out the names of the companies partnering with us.”

Everyone thought, ‘Accident? She almost broke the table!’ Of course, this was only internal. No one would say it aloud. Besides, the names were about to be announced, and everyone was holding their breath.

Yu Miaodan cleared her throat and said, “After critical analysis, we’ve selected three partners for Asia, Africa, and Europe/US. Qi Li Corporation will be our African sector partner. They may have five subcontractors.”

As soon as Yu Miaodan spoke, the Qi Li Corporation representative stood and applauded, prompting applause from everyone.

“America’s Tuo Luoluo Corporation will be our Europe/US partner. They may have twenty subcontractors,” Yu Miaodan read. Tuo Luoluo Corporation was excited. Everyone’s guess was right; since the top corporation didn’t participate, second-ranked Tuo Luoluo got the spot.

After the applause died down, Yu Miaodan continued, “China’s Yu State Fei Yu Corporation will be our Asian partner. They may have twenty subcontractors.”

Unlike before, the room was silent. Too silent. If Yu Miaodan hadn’t started clapping, everyone would have thought CEO Yu misspoke.

“What? How could it be Fei Yu Corporation?” “Yeah, it should be Yuan Bei Corporation or Lian Feng Corporation. Even if it were us, it shouldn’t be Fei Yu.” “This is impossible…” … There was heated discussion. They didn’t believe the small, unknown Fei Yu Corporation could get the spot. Shock, jealousy… all sorts of emotions filled the room.

No one wanted to believe it. They were still reeling. This impossibility had become reality.

“Qingxue, am I dreaming? How can it be our Fei Yu Corporation?” Li Mumei seemed to have just woken up. Ning Qingxue was also shocked. What was going on?

Ning Zhongfei was dumbfounded. Though he’d tried, he never expected to be chosen. His highest goal was to be a subcontractor.

But immediately, other companies rushed over to congratulate them. Then, he realized it was real, more real than gold. Only one sentence was in his mind: “The tables have turned. Finally.”

“Qingxue, it really is our Fei Yu Corporation. This is real,” Li Mumei confirmed. Of all Asian companies, it was theirs.

After her initial joy, Ning Qingxue hesitantly asked, “Why is this? How can it be our company?”

“CEO Ning, I’m Qian Qi, representative for Dong Gu Corporation. This is my card…” “I’m the representative for Lian Feng Corporation. Hello, CEO Ning…”

Ning Zhongfei looked at the representatives crowding him in disbelief. His hands were sore from all the name cards.

Yuan Bei Corporation was even more incredulous. Even if it wasn’t them, it shouldn’t be Fei Yu.

“This is impossible! CEO Yu, our Yuan Bei Corporation is ranked first in Asia. Why did a tiny company like Fei Yu get the spot? Why?” Yuan Qibing yelled at the boisterous scene, unable to accept reality.

Yu Miaodan said plainly, “During our selection process, every company is equal. You’re first in Asia? How come I don’t know? So what if you are? That’s the past.”

“There’s some backdoor agreement, some shady deal! I don’t agree!” Yuan Qibing yelled angrily. He didn’t understand Yu Miaodan meant that, because of Luo Yue, other companies wouldn’t be number one.

Yu Miaodan slammed the table again. “Yuan Qibing, this is the Luo Yue conference; you have no right to interfere. We don’t welcome you here; get out!”

“Yu, what right do you have to tell me to leave? We’re giving you face by being here. Don’t think just because you have a beauty pill, you’re anything special. We can still shut down a small company like yours. I suggest you report this to your superiors. Some things aren’t for a manager to decide. Don’t jeopardize your company’s interests like this.” Yuan Qibing, in his anger, forgot about staying low-key to get the beauty pill recipe.

The room quieted. No one expected this. People watched the unfolding drama. Yuan Qibing had a point; Luo Yue was small and new. How dare they challenge Yuan Bei? It wasn’t impossible for Yuan Bei to shut down Luo Yue. If the beauty pill recipe leaked, Luo Yue would be finished.

Even without the recipe, it wasn’t impossible for China’s biggest pharmaceutical corporation to block a newly established company.

Almost everyone looked at Yu Miaodan, wondering if Luo Yue would back down.

Li Mumei looked at Ning Qingxue and said, “Qingxue, if CEO Yu agrees to them, or feels threatened, what should we do?”

Ning Qingxue smiled and shook her head. She sensed Yu Miaodan wasn’t ordinary. If she were easily threatened by Yuan Qibing, Luo Yue wouldn’t have made her head manager.

Yu Miaodan sneered and said clearly, “From now on, Luo Yue rejects any cooperation with Yuan Bei. Furthermore, any business involved with Yuan Bei will not be able to cooperate with Luo Yue. If we find out, we’ll immediately cancel any involvement. This is the first part of our agreement for collaborators.”

“You!” Yuan Qibing was speechless. How could she be like that? She wasn’t here to do business but to throw her weight around.

There was no such clause in any agreement worldwide—that if Company A had conflict with Company B, those involved with Company B couldn’t collaborate with Company A, regardless of involvement.

This was childish, yet this childish statement was the first clause.

Everyone sighed. Though childish, it was cruel. Yuan Qibing finally met someone more ruthless. Yu Miaodan always smiled, but when she attacked, she killed.

Yuan Qibing had spoken tough words, but before he could act, Luo Yue attacked first. People wondered what Yuan Bei would do next and who would win.

“Han Zai!” Yu Miaodan yelled.

“Here.”

“Remove irrelevant people from this room. They aren’t welcome,” Yu Miaodan said expressionlessly.

“Yes.” Han Zai, his 1.9-meter frame, walked menacingly toward Yuan Qibing.

Yuan Qibing nearly spat blood in anger. He tried to speak, but Han Zai grabbed him by the neck and dragged him out like a chicken.

Everyone gasped. Luo Yue was acting like thugs. This wasn’t like a head manager at all. Little did they know, Yu Miaodan was a former mafia boss.

Li Mumei breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s satisfying. Not only were we chosen, that scum got what he deserved. I couldn’t stand his cocky face. I admire CEO Yu immensely.”

Ning Qingxue smiled. “Let’s think about this later. Before, we had nothing to do, but now, we have too much. We still need to recruit twenty subcontractors. That’s a challenge.”

“Yeah, we haven’t had such glory in a long time. This Luo Yue Corporation is really nice. By the way, what if someone like Yuan Qibing appears within Luo Yue and targets you?” Li Mumei nervously questioned.

Ning Qingxue rolled her eyes. “You’re overthinking.”
