NOVPUBChapter 838: Chapter 564: Struggle_2 Chapter 838 -564: Struggle_2 The beautiful woman鈥檚 eyes were faintly tinged with redness, and her whole demeanor seemed somewhat haggard.
When the other party slowly approached, Yang Tianxia smiled lightly and said,
鈥淗eidi Group鈥檚 President Xue, President Chu should be familiar with you, right?鈥
Hearing this, Chu Mo finally showed a hint of smile.
At the last banquet in Capital City, it was this leader in the cosmetics field who had issued a challenge to his newly opened Human April Cosmetics Company.
In just two months, Chu Mo had invested twenty to thirty billion, aiming to suppress the Heidi Group comprehensively, but the opponent had remained unscathed.
And behind this, of course, was because of Yang Tianxia鈥檚 support.
Chu Mo looked at the beautiful but haggard woman in front of him.
Compared to her aggressive demeanor two months ago, she now seemed to have lost that sharpness.
...
If it weren鈥檛 for the nobility that still lingered about her, she might have been indistinguishable from an ordinary middle-aged woman.
Chu Mo merely glanced at the dignified lady with the corner of his eye before withdrawing his gaze.
Though the woman in front of him was the chairwoman of Heidi Cosmetics, and Heidi Group was a colossal enterprise with a market value of eighty-five billion, in Chu Mo鈥檚 eyes, she was just Yang Tianxia鈥檚 lover.
In terms of status, she wasn鈥檛 even comparable to his own spokesperson, Lu Siyue; naturally, she did not have the right to warrant his further attention.
That she could present herself before him was only a matter of Yang Tianxia鈥檚 face.
潡堭潣凁潣潟?co
Otherwise, on a normal day, she could only converse with Lu Siyue, even lacking the qualifications to meet him.
Seeing that Chu Mo remained unmoved, the gorgeous woman before him gently bit her lip and bowed respectfully, saying,
鈥淢r.
Chu, it鈥檚 been a few days since we met.
You are still as impressive as always.
Xiao Ling was ignorant in the past.
If there was any offense, I hope you, Mr.
Chu, can forgive her.鈥
Named Xue Ling, the once supremely authoritative and beautiful CEO in the cosmetics industry now had lost her arrogance from two months prior.
At present, she was bowing slightly, her whole posture one of subservience and trying to please.
Chu Mo maintained his indifference.
He had already invested hundreds of billions to suppress the opposition鈥檚 company.
Heidi Cosmetics was now at the end of its rope.
Chu Mo did not believe that Yang Tianxia would risk the whole of the Yang family for a lover.
The Heidi Group had already reached its limit; with Lu Siyue continuing to exert pressure, it would be more or less a certainty that Heidi Group would collapse within one more month.
Now that the opponent was softening, Chu Mo could certainly not let Heidi Group off just because of her plea.
Otherwise, all the efforts of Lu Siyue who had not slept for months would have been in vain.
As the gorgeous woman saw that Chu Mo was felt no compunction, her gaze suddenly turned towards Yang Tianxia, her eyes brimming with hidden pleading.
However, at this moment, Yang Tianxia did not even glance at her, instead admiring the scenery outside the window on his own.
Even though she was filled with indignant anger deep down, the two men before her were not the type she could afford to offend.
So, after taking a deep breath, Xue Ling, whose makeup was pristine, finally spoke up,
鈥淧resident Chu, our Heidi Group is willing to join Human April Company.
From now on, Heidi will be a subsidiary under Human April.
I ask you to be magnanimous, Mr.
Chu, and not to take offense at the slight from a woman such as myself.鈥
As her gentle words fell, Xue Ling seemed as though she had been emptied of all strength, the last bit of vitality and spirit dissipating from her.
Xue Ling truly had no choice.
As the adversary, Chu Mo had been relentless in his pursuit.
The only support she had, the Yang family, had already cut off funding to Heidi Group.
Under the relentless oppression from Lu Siyue, Heidi Group could end in one of two ways.
Either declare bankruptcy and be ruined, rendering Heidi nonexistent in this world, or join the opposing side and become a servant, ready to be ordered around at will, far from its former lead position as the trendsetter.
Heidi Group was the empire that Xue Ling had built from scratch, achieving dominance on her own, and to end up in such a state can only be blamed on her own short-sightedness, having offended this Mr.
Chu, making it impossible to turn back now.
Pressured by both Yang Tianxia and Lu Siyue, Xue Ling had no room left to resist.
All she could do was bow her head in surrender to at least preserve the last lifeline for Heidi Group.
And now, with Xue Ling conceding, the several-month-long financial battle between Human April and Heidi Group, with more than fifty billion on the line, finally ended with Lu Siyue鈥檚 victory.
Starting today, after two continuous months away from home, fighting on the front lines, Lu Siyue could finally take a breath of relief and get a good night鈥檚 sleep at home.
Chu Mo knew the wisdom behind not pursuing a desperate enemy, for if he didn鈥檛 accept Xue Ling鈥檚 offer of peace, no one could predict the extreme measures this woman might resort to in the face of certain defeat.
It must be noted that Heidi Group was still an industry leader, despite being continuously suppressed recently, its foundations remained.
Should they confirm there was no chance of survival and adopt a mindset of mutual destruction, even if Human April Company were to emerge victorious in the end, it would be a pyrrhic victory.
Now, with Heidi conceding defeat and subsequently joining Human April Company as a subsidiary, Human April would directly replace Heidi, instantly becoming the new leader in Hua Country鈥檚 cosmetics industry with a company market value surpassing the 100-billion mark.
Chu Mo nodded at the beautiful woman before him, speaking indifferently, 鈥淵ou personally head over to Modu and find Lu Siyue at Human April Company to apologize, I will arrange for a position for you as a company general manager within April Company.鈥
As soon as the words left Chu Mo鈥檚 mouth, the woman in front of him grew even more sullen, while at this point, Yang of Yang鈥檚 Family, who clearly had matters to discuss privately with Chu Mo, nonchalantly waved his hand, signaling her to leave.
Reluctantly conceding, Xue Ling left with a look of sadness.
With the beautiful woman鈥檚 figure gone, the impassive Yang of Yang鈥檚 Family slowly said, 鈥淐hu President, are you satisfied with this gift of mine?鈥
Chu Mo slowly nodded, not saying a word but continuing to wait for the other party to reveal more bargaining chips.
Throughout this negotiation, Chu Mo had firmly maintained the upper hand, not only because Yang of Yang鈥檚 Family had his own requests, but most importantly because Chu Mo himself was powerful enough.
Whether it was the battleground in Modu or the conflicts in Capital City, Chu Mo showed no fear, fully prepared to see things through to the end.
Even the Yang family, one of the Great Eight, began to falter under Chu Mo鈥檚 relentless barrage of money.
That was the fundamental reason for Yang of Yang鈥檚 Family鈥檚 conciliatory approach.
The sharp-eyed Yang of Yang鈥檚 Family took a deep breath and finally broached the main topic, 鈥淐hu President, let鈥檚 not beat around the bush.
You must have heard about the condition of the old master of our family.
Our old patriarch doesn鈥檛 have much time left, and I need one of your Longevity Pills.
I wonder what it would take for Chu President to give me one.鈥
Seeing that Yang of Yang鈥檚 Family had laid his cards on the table, Chu Mo adjusted himself into a more comfortable position and spoke casually, 鈥淵ang President, the Longevity Pill is the lifeline of the Longevity Club.
I set the rule from the start that no one except for members of the Longevity Club would ever be able to obtain a Longevity Pill.
If Yang President is interested, you might consider joining our Longevity Club.
After completing the club鈥檚 tasks, I would naturally provide you with the pill.鈥
At these words, Yang of Yang鈥檚 Family raised an eyebrow.
The Yang family ranked third among the Great Eight Families, who had collectively agreed to suppress the emerging families of Hua Country.
It was this agreement that, for decades, prevented any new family from challenging the status of the Great Eight.
Similarly, it was for this reason that the Great Eight allied against Chu Mo a year ago.
If Yang of Yang鈥檚 Family joined the Longevity Club, it would mean the Yang family of Capital City breached the Great Eight鈥檚 agreement and betrayed the alliance, effectively disintegrating the coalition.
Even for his own gain, Yang of Yang鈥檚 Family couldn鈥檛 possibly break such an agreement.
This was why he was unwilling to join the Longevity Club and instead sought to obtain the Longevity Pill through other means.
Narrowing his eyes and looking extremely serious, Yang of Yang鈥檚 Family spoke again, 鈥淐hu President, it鈥檚 impossible for me to join the Longevity Club.
If you aren鈥檛 willing to provide a Longevity Pill, I鈥檒l have no choice but to sever ties with my daughter Yang Duoer, and cast her out.
Yang Duoer believes her plans are foolproof, but she is still a descendant of Yang of Yang鈥檚 Family. 𝓃ℴ𝓋𝓹𝓊𝓫.𝒸𝓸𝓂
Her little schemes with Chu President cannot escape my eyes!鈥
