Hongyan Company’s biggest problem right now is the market.
Recently, Hongyan Company’s cosmetic market share has been rapidly declining.
Sales volumes are dropping by several percentage points every day.
Tantai Yue is also overwhelmed, barely having a moment to rest.
She has visited many branch stores in the city, hoping to boost sales, but her efforts are like trying to quench a raging fire with a cup of water.
Tantai Yue is quite anxious about this situation.
Meanwhile, Wang Yuyan has conceded a significant portion of the market to Tantai Yue, but it hasn’t made much difference.
If this continues, Hongyan Company will lose all its market share within half a month.
However, Wang Yuyan discovered that the cosmetic company of Li Shengtian’s Li Group has seen its sales revenue more than double compared to before.
Anyone with a bit of sense can see that the reason for Hongyan Company’s market decline is undoubtedly related to Li Shengtian.
But Wang Yuyan’s grandfather, Wang Youhai, and her father, Wang Hong, have not yet returned. Without the influence of Wang Youhai and his son, Wang Yuyan is currently helpless.
Tantai Yue also clearly sees the situation; everything is targeted at Hongyan Company.
As Tantai Yue sat in her office, pondering with no solution in sight, the phone on her desk rang.
Tantai Yue saw it was an unknown number. After a moment’s hesitation, she answered.
“Is this Miss Tan?”
Tantai Yue frowned.
“Who is this?”
“Miss Tan, have you forgotten me so soon? I am Li Shengtian from the Li Group. Surely you remember me.”
“President Li?” Tantai Yue was surprised, but a bad feeling also arose within her.
“Hahaha, since Miss Tan addresses me as President Li, I won’t beat around the bush. I’ll get straight to the point.” Li Shengtian laughed heartily over the phone.
“Miss Tan, you must be troubled by your company’s market decline recently, aren’t you?”
Tantai Yue was briefly stunned. Although she had already suspected Li Shengtian, she still asked,
“President Li, what do you want to say?”
“Miss Tan, I won’t waste any more time. If things continue as they are, Hongyan Company’s current market share won’t last another half a month, tsk tsk tsk… By then, Miss Tan will probably have to sleep on the streets.”
Tantai Yue frowned and said,
“President Li, is there really no room for compromise in this matter?”
“Hahaha, Miss Tan, the business world is like a battlefield, you understand this, don’t you?” Li Shengtian laughed into the phone.
“This place, Jiangbei, is already a case of ‘many wolves and little meat.’ If you were in my position now, I’m sure you would be even more ruthless than I am.”
Tantai Yue fell silent. What Li Shengtian said was true; the business world is indeed a battlefield where it’s either you die or I live.
Now that Li Shengtian has seized the opportunity, he will certainly not let it go easily.
“Miss Tan, if you want to preserve your market share, then come to the Sea Palace tonight at seven o’clock… *Beep*……”
Without waiting for Tantai Yue to reply, Li Shengtian hung up the phone.
Tantai Yue looked at the disconnected phone, lost in thought.
This was undoubtedly a banquet of deception, a trap. For a weak woman like herself, attending would be extremely dangerous. Yet, she couldn’t refuse.
Because Hongyan Company was the fruit of Tantai Yue’s labor. If the company were to fail, she and Qin Xuan would return to their previous hard life.
Tantai Yue did not want her current life to be shattered. After a moment of hesitation, she immediately used her phone to call Wang Yuyan.
Tantai Yue knew that if she went alone, she might not return tonight. Wang Yuyan, as the eldest daughter of the Wang family, might command some respect from Li Shengtian.
Wang Yuyan readily agreed over the phone. After all, Wang Yuyan held nearly half the shares in Hongyan Company, and the profits generated by Hongyan Company were a substantial sum.
Besides, even if Wang Yuyan didn’t have any shares, she would still help, because Tantai Yue was someone’s wife.
