"Yunxuan is my best friend, how could I not know what kind of person she is? Don't think you can hide it so well that I can't catch you..."

Helen seemed quite excited and said, seemingly proud of her intelligence too.

However, when she said this, she looked at Qin Fang with a rather peculiar expression, as if she was very interested in him, leaving Qin Fang no choice but to retreat.

This foreign beauty was indeed stunning, especially those sapphire blue eyes which were exceptionally gorgeous; anyone who saw them would be a little moved, Qin Fang included.

But this beauty was also fierce to the point that made Qin Fang embarrassed; some of her words had almost made Qin Fang flee instantly...

"Miss Helen, let's talk about the cooperation this time..."

Qin Fang didn't want to continue chit-chatting with this beauty who once loudly proposed to hang out with Qin Fang and Chu Yunxuan, so he naturally switched the topic to official business.

"Alright, let's discuss business then..."

Helen nodded, went to the bedroom, and brought back a document, then started discussing the cooperation matters with Qin Fang.

Chu Yunxuan has significant influence in drug research development, but management isn't his strong suit, so he just sat quietly by the side, watching Qin Fang and Helen discuss.

This negotiation was simply the first simple cooperation intention between Helen and Qin Fang, initially laying out a general framework.

Regarding the specific details, they would have to wait until these intent outlines were roughly fixed, then let the professionals from both sides negotiate...

After all, these details involve crucial issues like both parties' cost inputs, profit allocations, which decide how much profit goes to whom, so these must be meticulously calculated!

But naturally, someone would be in charge of these matters, Qin Fang and Helen obviously wouldn't stand there arguing red-faced themselves.

Just at this moment, when Qin Fang and Helen were about to start discussing, Helen's phone suddenly rang...

Helen didn't check the number, just gave an apologetic smile to Qin Fang and directly hung up, as was the essential courtesy in business situations.

But just after hanging up, when Helen was about to continue, the phone rang again...

However, Helen straightforwardly cut off the call again.

Yet the phone rang again soon, seeming to indicate something urgent.

"You should answer the call first..."

Qin Fang smiled, and said to Helen immediately, the urgency of this call aside, their matter wasn't pressing at this moment, suggesting Helen take the call first.

Helen nodded, gave an apologetic smile to Qin Fang, glanced at the number on the phone, and furrowed her brows slightly, yet hesitated before getting up to take the call.

Qin Fang didn't mind, just sat there and chatted quietly with Chu Yunxuan about trivial topics like where to have dinner and where to stay tonight...

"What?"

In the middle of their conversation, they heard Helen on the phone suddenly raise her voice a few pitches, almost shouting.

Bang~~

This stunning, fierce beauty even violently hung up the phone and then smashed the expensive phone on the ground, faintly mumbling words like "shit" and "fuck"...

Witnessing such a scene, Qin Fang and Chu Yunxuan were both stunned, unable to comprehend what kind of situation made Helen react so strongly.

Especially Chu Yunxuan, who has known Helen for many years, seemed to be witnessing Helen this angry for the first time!

However, before she could inquire, Helen had already come over.

"Qin, I'm sorry... we might need to pause our discussion temporarily!"

Helen said with an extremely apologetic look, and her face still carried obvious anger.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Qin Fang felt it was a bit strange too, everything was fine a moment ago, but how did things change with just one phone call?

"It's all because of some fools at the headquarters... They said this cooperation affects the future profit trajectory of the entire group, so the headquarters will send the highest level negotiation team to discuss with you... So we can only pause for now, even if we reach a conclusion, the headquarters might not accept it..."

Helen tried her best to appear composed, striving to keep calm, yet her anger hadn't completely dissipated.

After listening to Helen's explanation quietly, Qin Fang also found this thing a bit odd, but couldn't say much; the reason seemed quite reasonable and even showed respect to him...

But upon closer analysis, you can see that this actually indirectly stripped Helen of her power. No wonder she's so angry.

This collaboration was initiated by Helen from the beginning, and she's been arranging and overseeing everything since. But now, as it was about to enter the negotiation stage, someone suddenly inserted themselves into the picture, taking away the power that should have belonged to her, and it seems they're planning to directly exclude her from the negotiation team.

This move by Reid Pharmaceuticals' headquarters is truly quite sneaky and quite despicable... it's like burning bridges after crossing them!

"Don't worry, let's conduct our negotiations... If your headquarters doesn't acknowledge it, then neither will I!"

However, Qin Fang remained quite calm, signaling Chu Yunxuan to comfort Helen while he smiled and said this.

The prescription for the Heart Nourishing Pill is in their hands. They are the true main body of the negotiation and naturally have the right to decide who to negotiate with.

What's more, the prescription is in Qin Fang's hands. He can give it to whomever he wants and cooperate with whomever he wants... Reid Pharmaceuticals merely has a slight initial advantage, and that's only because of Helen.

If not for Helen's involvement, Qin Fang wouldn't care about Reid Pharmaceuticals at all...

For the clinical trial of the Heart Nourishing Pill in the United States to pass, Helen put in a lot of effort, to the extent that even Qin Fang feels he's somewhat indebted to her.

Now that Helen has been set up, Qin Fang naturally wants to help her regain her footing... Otherwise, how would he repay her favor?

"Really?"

Helen was taken aback, and then her face lit up with joy, yet she still looked at Qin Fang with some disbelief, seeming to really want to know if he was serious.

"Of course it's true... You're Yunxuan's dear sister; if I don't help you, who will?"

Qin Fang wasn't particularly interested in the power struggles within these big families, nor did he want to get involved, but just focusing on the matter itself, he didn't want the negotiating party to change from Helen, someone familiar, to a stranger he had never dealt with before...

"Mwah~~"

"Qin, you're just so nice... I'm finding myself falling for you a little!"

As soon as Qin Fang said this, Helen's face immediately broke into a radiant smile, and then she gave Qin Fang a big, passionate kiss on the cheek, even saying something that left Qin Fang stunned once again.

"Helen, why don't you come be Qin Fang's concubine too, then we can keep each other company..."

Standing by, Chu Yunxuan saw her best friend feeling much better and couldn't help but tease, entering a joke without any seriousness.

"Concubine... is that like a lover? That doesn't sound bad… I could consider it! Why don't we... have a threesome now..."

Helen's Chinese wasn't particularly proficient. Although she had become much more fluent, certain vocabulary still left people speechless.

The term "concubine" seemed to be one she had heard before and vaguely knew a bit about its meaning, so she started speaking joyfully right away, even actively pulling in Qin Fang and Chu Yunxuan, shouting about having a threesome...

Though Chu Yunxuan was quite bold, especially in front of Helen, she was still somewhat overshadowed. At least, Helen could suggest having a threesome casually, while Chu Yunxuan, upon hearing it, blushed, even though she knew it was just playful talk...

"Don't... can't I just stay out of trouble?"

Qin Fang was also at a loss, immediately striking a pose as if to escape, finding the boldness of this foreign beauty too outrageous, even for someone as macho as he is...

"Alright, enough with the jokes, let's get back to business..."

After some laughter, the group didn't take the previous words seriously—it was all in jest. However, it was time to return to the main topic.

"Helen, what's the story here? This matter has been entirely your responsibility, so why the sudden change in personnel?"

Chu Yunxuan, though not versed in business matters, recognized the peculiarity of the situation, sensing an air of conspiracy.

"It's just some people getting envious..."

Talking about this, Helen couldn't help but show a trace of anger, her tone a bit sour.

"I reckon it's definitely Alex's doing..."

Yet, her mind was still pretty clear. After a brief reflection, she guessed who might have been the orchestrator behind this conspiracy.

"That bastard brother of yours?"

Upon hearing Alex's name, Chu Yunxuan surprisingly knew who it was and even used such a term to describe him... bastard.

Just hearing this word implies that Alex isn't any good...

"Who else could it be... he must see the vast future market for this drug and wants in for a share! He might even want to kick me out so he can lead the negotiations himself..."

Helen nodded, obviously quite unhappy, though her tone suggested she felt rather helpless about it...(To be continued.
