「Zheng Family Villa」

Seeing Chen Yang standing with his hands clasped behind his back, wearing a serene and carefree expression, Zheng Xiaoman was utterly astonished.

Crush the stock price of Meilin Group, then swoop in and buy it all up? That casual tone of his is simply unbelievable! That's an international pharmaceutical giant, not some roadside stall. A massive conglomerate like that has incredible influence. How could its stock price be crushed just because he said so? Driving it to rock bottom? That's pure fantasy.

Even in the most extreme case, if Meilin Group's stock price were truly suppressed—even cut in half—buying up the company would still require a colossal amount of capital. Forget an individual; even powerful families and financial magnates couldn't possibly come up with that kind of money in just half a day.

It's true that Chen Yang isn't ordinary, but even he can't defy the heavens!

With this in mind, Zheng Xiaoman secretly shook her head. "Mr. Chen, I don't think you should be making wild boasts right now. Instead, you should be trying to find a way to negotiate with those pharmaceutical giants and handle the formula issue properly."

"I'm not blaming you for dragging me into this, but I'm pointing out the harsh reality you're facing," Zheng Xiaoman said earnestly.

The blame for this mess did indeed lie with Qin Corporation. But given her character, she wasn't one to hold it against Chen Yang. After all, neither of them had anticipated this situation when they signed the contract.

"I never negotiate with people. My only response is a powerful counterattack," Chen Yang said without further explanation. He left it at that and walked over to Zheng Xiaoduo to instruct her in her fist techniques.

"Now that you've crossed the threshold to become a Fist Master, things will get much easier."

Chen Yang taught her hands-on, explaining certain nuances and focusing on the mental method. Zheng Xiaoduo was talented and intelligent. She could always extrapolate from a single point, which brought Chen Yang one pleasant surprise after another.

While Chen Yang was gratified, he also breathed a sigh of relief. Teaching such a student made his job as a master much easier.

"Thank you, Master!"

With just a few words, Chen Yang thoroughly cleared up some of the issues she had encountered over the past few days.

Watching this, Zheng Xiaoman was utterly speechless. The enemy is at the gates, yet he's acting as if nothing is wrong, still in the mood to teach someone fist techniques?

This guy is just too arrogant! Zheng Xiaoman fumed inwardly. It was fine for a man to be a little arrogant, but this much arrogance was just asking for death.

With a deep sigh, Zheng Xiaoman glanced at a text message on her phone. The opposing party's shareholding had already surpassed forty-seven percent. At this rate, her company might not even last until tomorrow.

In an instant, all the color drained from Zheng Xiaoman's face, leaving it deathly pale. After fighting tooth and nail for so many years in the business world to get to where she was today, only she knew the blood, sweat, and tears she had poured into it. She had thought she was finally secure for life, but she never imagined…

A deep sense of powerlessness filled her heart, seeping into the very marrow of her bones, threatening to engulf even her Divine Spirit. In this dog-eat-dog world of business, there's truly no such thing as unshakable stability, only the constant fear of walking on thin ice. One careless move, and you could fall into an abyss with no hope of return.

Filled with frustration, she approached Chen Yang, her voice fraught with exhaustion. "Mr. Chen, about this matter… could you please reconsider it more carefully?"

"It's already been resolved. What is there to reconsider?" Chen Yang asked with a smile, turning around and glancing at a brief on his phone.

Zheng Xiaoman was speechless. Resolved? Heh... Is this guy delusional? He might have some skills, but how long has it been since he made that phone call? And he's resolved it already? She wanted to laugh, but no sound would come out.

Just as she was struggling to contain her anger and was about to rebuke Chen Yang, her phone suddenly rang.

Hm? Zheng Xiaoman frowned. When she saw the caller ID—Sun Chen, Chairman of Meilin Group—her brows knitted even tighter.

Fuming, she pressed the answer key and said coldly, "President Sun, what else could you possibly have to say?"

"I'm… I'm sorry!"

The sudden trembling, fearful voice caught Zheng Xiaoman off guard, leaving her utterly confused. Before she could gather her thoughts, the man on the other end continued, "It was my fault for being blind and failing to recognize the great power backing you! That's why I foolishly offended you!"

"I truly realize my mistake now. I beg you, please be generous and spare my Meilin Group!" Sun Chen sobbed, choking with fear. "Like you, President Zheng, I started from scratch! It took me decades of rising and falling in the business world to build the Meilin Group to what it is today!"

Zheng Xiaoman grew even more puzzled and instinctively glanced at Chen Yang. Could it really be his doing?

Taking a deep breath, Zheng Xiaoman said gravely, "President Sun, I really don't understand what you're talking about."

"My company, Meilin Group, was suddenly hit with raids by various government agencies! Our stock price has plunged sixty percent, and someone has already bought the dip. After today, the company I worked so hard to build will no longer be mine!"

Thinking Zheng Xiaoman was deliberately making things difficult, Sun Chen humbled himself even further, begging hysterically, "Please, I'm begging you, give me a break."

Instantly, Zheng Xiaoman's jaw dropped. She stared at Chen Yang, her eyes wide with a mixture of shock and dawning brilliance.

Isn't what's happening to Meilin Group exactly what Chen Yang predicted? So, it really was him! What I thought was just wild boasting and overconfidence was actually him being completely sure of the outcome. This…

Zheng Xiaoman's throat suddenly felt dry. Amidst her excitement, her heart was a whirlwind of complex emotions.

"Give me the phone," Chen Yang said indifferently as he walked up to her.

Zheng Xiaoman numbly passed the phone over.

"You must be President Sun," Chen Yang said calmly, holding the phone. "I'm not interested in your hard-earned Meilin Group. I just enjoy paying people back in their own coin."

How could Sun Chen not realize this was the powerful figure who could so easily destroy him? "I'm sorry, I was blind. Please have mercy and spare me," Sun Chen begged frantically, not daring to waste a single second.

"Buy back the shares we acquired at one and a half times the price we paid," Chen Yang stated.

Sun Chen fell silent.

"What, you're not willing?" Chen Yang asked with a smile.

"I'm willing, I'm willing! I'll have someone handle the transaction right now," Sun Chen said through gritted teeth, nodding repeatedly. He quickly calculated that at one and a half times the price, he would lose at least two billion yuan!

So ruthless!

Despite the painful cost, at least Meilin Group was saved.

Chen Yang hung up and tossed the phone back to Zheng Xiaoman, who stared at him with a look of pure incredulity.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Is there a flower on my face?" Chen Yang waved a hand. "Go cook something. I'd like to taste President Zheng's culinary skills."

Zheng Xiaoman was speechless. This guy… he's actually telling me to cook for him? Does his audacity know no bounds?

A rebellious spirit suddenly surged within her, and she said flatly, "Let's eat out."

"No, we're eating at home." With his hands behind his back, Chen Yang smiled faintly. "I'm Xiaoduo's master, and you're her older sister. There's a saying that an elder sister is like a mother. Therefore, you have a duty to cook this meal for me."

"Go on, then. Don't keep me waiting too long."

Zheng Xiaoman was left utterly speechless.
