Capítulo 729: Chapter 729: This Is What You Owe Me!
After hanging up, Li Yufei said to Shao Chen, “Book a flight immediately, I need to fly to New Jersey.”
Shao Chen said, “President Li, are you flying tonight? Since Rong Ling has already been sent to the hospital, the doctors will certainly try to treat him. If you fly to the United States now, what will happen to tomorrow’s acquisition meeting?”
Tomorrow is the final stage of the acquisition case.
Li Yufei cannot be absent.
Otherwise, everything will be for naught.
Li Yufei turned around, looking at Shao Chen, “The doctor said he has drug poisoning, acute liver failure, and his condition is critical. I have to go.”
Shao Chen said, “But if you miss tomorrow’s meeting, it will cause a breach of contract, and the entire Li Family will have to bear the loss. Weighing the importance, don’t act on impulse.”
Li Yufei suddenly burst out, “Is there no one else in the Li Family besides me?!”
Shao Chen was stunned.
After following Li Yufei for so many years, no matter what happened, she was always calm and decisive. This was the first time he saw her so agitated.
Li Yufei also realized she had lost composure. She raised her hand to stop Shao Chen from speaking further and sighed, calming her mind, “I’m sorry… I was too impulsive just now, I shouldn’t have shouted at you.”
She held her waist with one hand and covered her lips with the other, her fingers trembling incessantly.
Li Yufei said, “Here’s what we’ll do, I’ll give you my authorization and the official seal, you will represent me at the acquisition meeting.”
Shao Chen said, “I don’t have signing authority.”
Li Yufei said, “When I say you have it, you have it.”
Shao Chen said, “I’m worried… Huake might throw a wrench halfway, and without you here, I can’t handle it. Moreover… have you considered that this might be a ploy by Huake, causing something to happen at the last crucial moment to lure you to New Jersey? With you out of the country, they have too many means at their disposal!”
Li Yufei closed her eyes.
Shao Chen grasped her arm, “President Li, this is the final step. Once the meeting is over tomorrow, I’ll book a flight immediately, or I’ll apply for a flight route today and charter a plane to New Jersey tomorrow.”
Li Yufei suddenly said, “What if… I don’t see him one last time?”
Shao Chen was speechless.
Li Yufei gritted her teeth, turned, and walked toward the boarding gate.
Shao Chen turned around, watching her back, knowing she had given up on the decision to fly to New Jersey, and breathed a sigh of relief.
…
The entire night.
Li Yufei did not close her eyes.
She held her phone, making call after call, but Rong Ling remained in the emergency room, and until dawn, there was no news, only one critical condition notice after another.
Li Yufei felt immense torment inside.
She indeed wanted to drop everything and fly straight to New Jersey, but…
As Shao Chen said, she had always held the absolute power of the Li Family, and such an important matter, she simply couldn’t detach herself from, nor did she have the right to.
She is the head of the Li Family, and with such a significant acquisition case, she must preside personally and sign in person; otherwise, should any changes occur, no one else would dare to shoulder the responsibility.
This is the price of wielding such authority alone.
Early in the morning.
Li Yufei drove to the exhibition center.
This acquisition meeting, the final sign-off by both parties, is held here.
Upon arrival at the venue.
Li Yufei immediately saw Hua Qianqing standing amidst the crowd, accepting an interview from reporters.
She clenched her fist and strode toward Hua Qianqing.
Hua Qianqing flinched reflexively upon seeing her.
Li Yufei curled her lips into an elegant smile, “President Hua, may I have a word?”
Hua Qianqing said, “President Li, is there something you need?”
Li Yufei placed her hands behind her back, stepped back, extended her left hand, gesturing in a certain direction.
Hua Qianqing hesitated for a long time, seeing two guards accompanying her, he retorted mockingly, “President Li’s personal guards are quite intimidating!”
Li Yufei turned her head slightly and said calmly, “You may step back now.”
The guards dared not say a word and immediately retreated to the side.
Li Yufei said, “President Hua, I’m only giving you 5 minutes. In those 5 minutes, I must see you standing before me.”
After speaking, she headed towards a secluded corner.
Hua Qianqing’s heart pounded, but he followed her.
Once they stood in the corner.
Li Yufei had her back to him.
Hua Qianqing said irritably, “The meeting is about to start, President Li, what else do you have to say to me? I think there’s nothing left to discuss between us.”
His words carried resentment.
Li Yufei turned around, squinted her eyes, and suddenly clenched her fist, punching him hard.
“Bang!”
Hua Qianqing clutched his cheekbone, colliding against the wall!
He widened his eyes, as Li Yufei approached him, grabbed his tie, yanking him before her, “Hua Qianqing, I don’t know what games you’re playing with me! How dare you?!”
Hua Qianqing said, “I don’t understand what you’re talking about!”
Li Yufei said, “You do!”
Hua Qianqing froze.
Li Yufei said, “Rong Ling. I expected you to make a move on him, but I didn’t expect your methods to be so ruthless! Hua Qianqing, now, he’s in the hospital in a grave condition, have you thought about what would happen if anything goes wrong with him?”
Hua Qianqing was struck speechless by her fierce expression, “What do you mean by this?”
Li Yufei said, “You wouldn’t want, due to a moment’s thoughtlessness, to bring the Hua Family to ruin.”
Hua Qianqing couldn’t hold it any longer, “Li Yufei, have you gone crazy for a young man? Dare to say such things to me! Yes, Huake was acquired by you, but it doesn’t mean I, Hua Qianqing, will let you lead me by the nose! Dare to threaten me with ruin my family, I’ll take you down with me!”
Li Yufei seldom made enemies in business.
But with the Li Family being so prominent, it’s unavoidable to have adversaries, so she intentionally remained calm, never causing discord in any setting nor with anyone, fearing to make foes.
But this incident completely infuriated her!
She admitted losing some rationality, “Hua Qianqing, I repeat, I have my limits, if you dare to cross them…”
Her gaze cut through him like a knife, “You will experience my true methods!”
Finished, Li Yufei abruptly let go of him, “From now on, I hope you stay obedient and stop playing tricks with me!”
She turned around to leave.
Hua Qianqing suddenly said coldly, “I know the real reason you’ve made such a big fuss acquiring Huake. I’ve found out everything. You intend to use Huake’s production line for research and development to save Du Shaoheng, right? Huake is my life’s work, but for a man, you’ve made me lose half my life’s establishment, you owe me this!”
