176: Chapter 172 Zhao Tianya Visits 176: Chapter 172 Zhao Tianya Visits Leaving Lu Xiaoman’s office, Ye Fan sat in his own office for a moment before stepping out and heading to the end of the corridor to make a phone call on the secure stairway. He dialed Robert Laurenson’s mobile number. Soon, the call connected. “Respected Black Dragon, I’m delighted you’ve remembered me,” Robert Laurenson said in English. “Lately, I’ve heard of your renown once again, and it’s truly been shocking.” “What might I do for you?” he continued. Ye Fan replied bluntly, “I indeed need your services. There’s a listed company, and you need to make it pay a price.” “May I ask which company has had the audacity to offend you?” Robert Laurenson asked. “Tongyi Group, a private Hua Hai company listed on NASDAQ,” Ye Fan said. “I need its stock price pushed to the lowest point during a certain period, forcing it into financial distress, so it can save itself but lack the resources to expand further. Of course, I’d also take pleasure in seeing it suffer a great loss.” “Tongyi Group? That’s a decent company, with a market value of several billion US Dollars,” Robert Laurenson said. “Taking it down will probably take some consideration. Black Dragon, please allow me to conduct an offline assessment and report back to you. It will take roughly two hours.” “That’s acceptable,” Ye Fan agreed. After hanging up, Ye Fan put his phone into his trouser pocket and then stepped out from the secure stairway door, returning to his office. Whether or not Li Zhaojun could personally reclaim the patent for “Jifei Qinghua Tablets,” he was determined to attack Tongyi Group. Although Li Zhaojun was his wife in name only, anyone who dared offend her would have to pay a heavy, if not unbearable, price! Tongyi Group was listed in the United States on NASDAQ, the paradise of international capital. He had even fewer reservations about targeting them and no need to worry about repercussions. Back in his office, Ye Fan sat at his desk and dealt with some paperwork. Although he preferred not to get involved, sitting as the deputy manager of a department meant it was impossible to remain completely uninvolved. As Ye Fan was handling the documents, a fashionable red Porsche slowly pulled up at the small guest parking lot in front of the Emali Group building’s plaza. The car door opened, and a shapely leg sheathed in flesh-colored stockings and adorned with red high-heeled shoes stretched out and touched the ground. Then, a voluptuous woman emerged, wearing a tight bodycon minidress. The seductive woman’s skin was like cream, her beauty unparalleled, and the tight dress accentuated her exquisite curves perfectly. The security guards on duty in the plaza, both at the door and patrolling, couldn’t help but stare, their Adam’s apples bobbing uncontrollably as they gulped down saliva. They watched the alluring woman from the moment she closed her car door, twisted her sexy waist, and swayed her hips into the lobby. They continued to gaze through the lobby’s transparent glass until she vanished into the elevator out of sight. “Damn, she’s so beautiful and sexy. If I could spend a night with her, I’d die a happy man,” one security guard regained his senses and said droolingly. Another guard came to and said, “Look at what car she’s driving—a Porsche! That’s a luxury car starting in the millions. You dream of sleeping with such a gorgeously perfect and wealthy woman—I think you’d be lucky just to touch her finger and still die a happy man.” “You’re right. Let’s be content with just looking. A woman like that is beyond our fantasies,” a third guard nodded in agreement. After Zhao Tianya strutted into the elevator, she pressed the button for the second-to-last floor of the Emali Group building. As the elevator doors closed and began ascending, on reaching the third floor, Zhao Tianya had a thought and extended her delicate finger to press the button for the sixth floor. Quickly, the elevator reached the sixth floor, the doors opened, and Zhao Tianya stepped out with her enticing silk-clad legs. Her lips moved slightly, and in a low murmur, she said to herself, “Ye Fan, that untrustworthy slick head, I wonder what office he works in? Never mind, once I walk around this floor, I’ll find him eventually.” Thus, Zhao Tianya first headed to the left of the elevator. Creak, creak, creak… With the rhythmic clinking of high heels on the polished porcelain tiles, Zhao Tianya entered each office, looking in from the corridor outside the window. As she passed by each office, those sitting inside would cease their work, staring at her in a trance. All the male staff secretly swallowed hard. However, Zhao Tianya was destined to be disappointed, she had walked the entire sixth floor and did not find a trace of Ye Fan. “That little rascal isn’t here. Could he have resigned, or maybe he doesn’t work on the sixth floor at all? Last time I saw him here, was it just because he happened to come to the sixth floor?” Zhao Tianya thought to herself before returning to the elevator, “Well, let me finish my business with Zhao Jun first, then I’ll call him and drag him out.” Thus, she entered the elevator, ascended to the second-to-top floor of the building, and then knocked on the door to enter Li Zhaojun’s office. In the chairman and president’s office, Li Zhaojun and Zhao Tianya were sitting on the couch by the coffee table, chatting with smiles and gracefully sipping tea. After chatting for a bit, Li Zhaojun took out a check for fifty million and handed it to Zhao Tianya, saying with a smile, “Sister Ya, thank you. I should have personally delivered the check to your company.” While the group’s stock price was high, Li Zhaojun cashed in one hundred million in shares, fifty million of which was to repay the money Zhao Tianya lent her last time; the remaining fifty million was intended for the lawsuit against Hua Hai Biomedical Research Institute. She was preparing for a two-pronged approach: on one hand, she used her connections to lobby Tong Yi Group to abandon the ‘Ji Lung Cleanse Tablet’ patent; on the other, she sought out brilliant lawyers and worked the courts, aiming to maximize the compensation amount for Hua Hai University’s Biomedical Research Institute, and using the hefty damages to pressure Tong Yi Group into giving up the patent. A mix of overt and covert, a blend of hard and soft, entirely complementary. “Giggle, no need for such formality between us sisters,” Zhao Tianya cooed, glancing at the check amount before tucking it into her handbag, “You know me, I can’t sit still. I love running around.” She continued, “Giggle, Zhao Jun, you’ve really turned things around this time, bringing in Huachang Investment Fund. The stock soared, and the group has grown by more than a third.” “Hehe, perhaps,” Li Zhaojun replied, with an almost forced smile. She didn’t dare let Zhao Tianya know the current situation of Emali Group; if Zhao Tianya knew, that fifty-million-dollar check would definitely be returned to her. After laughing and chatting for a while, Zhao Tianya finally got up to say goodbye. Leaving Li Zhaojun’s office, Zhao Tianya walked to the elevator but did not rush in. Instead, she took out her phone to call Ye Fan. The call went out and rang several times with no answer, leading Zhao Tianya to think, “He’s not avoiding my call, is he? He wouldn’t dare avoid this beauty’s call. I’ll search office by office throughout this entire building if I have to, just to drag him out!” After two more rings, the call finally connected. “Hehe, is this the great beauty Zhao?” Ye Fan’s voice came through the phone with light laughter, and a cheeky smile of Ye Fan’s fleetingly crossed Zhao Tianya’s mind. The irritation from waiting dissipated in that instant. “Giggle, you unreliable little slicker, I’m asking you, are you avoiding me on purpose? You’re not working on the sixth floor, making me look for you in vain,” Zhao Tianya flirtatiously teased, “I’m in your company’s building, you know.” “Hehe, on my honor, it’s just that my job got moved to another floor due to a work transfer,” Ye Fan’s voice came over the phone again, lightly laughing, “How could I hide from you? I’ve been longing for an encounter with you, watching for you like looking out for stars and the moon.” Zhao Tianya was pleased to hear this and giggled softly, asking, “Which floor and office are you in? I’ll come find you.” “No, no, please don’t come to my office,” Ye Fan quickly protested, “With your overwhelming charm that stands out everywhere, such a great beauty, if you come to my office, the low-key and substantive image I’ve maintained for so long will be completely ruined.” “Humph, sounds like you’re just making excuses not to see me,” Zhao Tianya pouted. From the other end of the phone, Ye Fan’s laughter came through, saying, “Never. Why don’t you come to the safety staircase at the far right end of the eighth-floor corridor? Let’s meet there.” Zhao Tianya felt a strange sensation upon hearing this, as if she was about to have a clandestine rendezvous with a lover in some secretive corner shielded from the world’s eyes. “Alright,” she replied with a coquettish laugh, inexplicably excited and expectant.
