My husband Can Cultivate

Chapter 409: What Kind of Madness?

It seemed Ye Fei was truly angry today. Yang Qi's expression was grim as well. He also attended the meeting as a researcher but hadn't said a word. This He Honglang had truly gotten arrogant. Who knew what foolish things he would do next.

He Honglang clenched his fists, feeling like he was about to go mad. This was, without a doubt, his most humiliating moment. Ye Fei had told him to get out in front of so many people. How could he ever hold his head up in the company again? He roared silently in his heart, Just you wait! I will have my revenge! Qifei Group, you just wait! I'll make you pay for this!

Ye Fei ignored He Honglang and turned to Chen Mo. "President Chen, I think you understand the conspiracy behind this contract far better than I do. To be honest, I didn't see it at first. I only understood what you were trying to do after asking my boss. He investigated this; companies that signed similar cooperation agreements with you have all inevitably been acquired or driven into bankruptcy. You don't need to explain, and I don't want to hear your reasons. I just want to tell you that heaven is always watching. You should be well aware of the wicked things you've done. So, let's not waste any more time. I will not sign this contract. Please show yourself out."

Chen Mo's expression instantly turned grim. He stared coldly at Ye Fei and said, "Fine. If that's how you want it, we won't sign. But remember this: for a tiny company like the Qifei Group to challenge the Hanfang Association… you truly have the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard. I'm telling you, even if the Qifei Group comes begging to cooperate with us in the future, it will be impossible. And you'd better watch your backs."

With that, he rose to leave.

Yang Qi finally spoke, his voice slow and deliberate. "It wasn't easy for the Hanfang Association to reach its current size, and you've made plenty of money in the Dragon Country. Let me give you some advice. There's some money you just can't touch. If you do, you'll find yourself cursed with bad luck."

"Hmph!" Chen Mo snorted coldly, clearly dismissing Yang Qi's warning. He turned and left with his people.

Once Chen Mo and his entourage were gone, Ye Fei looked at the remaining people in the conference room. "Do you want to know why we refused to cooperate with the Hanfang Association?"

He Honglang opened his mouth as if to speak but ultimately clamped it shut, deciding to hold his tongue for the moment.

Ye Fei then explained the company's reasoning. Upon hearing it, everyone was shocked, and some were filled with righteous indignation.

Only He Honglang frowned and interjected, "Where did you get this gossip from? The Hanfang Association is a massive company. Why would they do something like that? It's impossible!"

"The information came from the Lei Mansion. Is that enough for you?" Ye Fei said, looking directly at He Honglang.

"What!" He Honglang frowned again. "Could the Lei Mansion have made a mistake?"

"That's enough!" Cao Zhendong said earnestly, looking at He Honglang. "You'd question the competence of the Jingnan Prefecture Master, yet you choose to trust a corrupt enterprise? Has the Hanfang Association not done enough dirty deeds over the years? He Honglang, the company has high hopes for you. That's why we prevented you from going to the Hanfang Association. We were afraid you'd be ruined. You need to be more self-aware."

"I support the company. If we cooperated with an enterprise like that, wouldn't we become accomplices?" said Jiang Yue, with Du Xin and others nodding in agreement. Only He Honglang kept his head down, his thoughts unreadable.

"President Ye, although I also support this decision, President Chen seemed quite unhappy," Li Qingyan said with concern. "If the Hanfang Association retaliates against us, what will we do? We probably won't be able to withstand it. In terms of financial power and influence, no company in the entire Jingnan Prefecture can compare to the Hanfang Association!"

"Retaliation is a certainty," Ye Fei said. "But we've weathered bigger storms than this. We're not necessarily afraid of them! As long as we stand united, we'll be fine!"

"Understood!" everyone exclaimed, filled with confidence. Only He Honglang's eyes darted back and forth as he seemed to be hatching some devious plan.

"Alright, the meeting is adjourned. Everyone, back to work!"

After the meeting, He Honglang noticed a new text message. "Tonight. Gold Well Club." It was from Chen Mo. He Honglang cautiously glanced around. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he quietly deleted the message. He couldn't care less what kind of company the Hanfang Association was. All he could think about was making big money and going abroad.

「That night, at the Gold Well Club.」

This was a club in Kang City established by nationals from the Kappa Country, and it only served people from the Kappa Country and their guests.

Inside a private room, Chen Mo puffed on a cigar and smiled at He Honglang, who was seated across from him. "Don't be nervous. I called you here to talk business. If you agree, you can get an instant reward of tens of millions. If you succeed, you'll not only receive a subsequent reward of over one hundred million, but you'll also get the chance to go to the Kappa Country for further training. You can finally leave this backward Dragon Country."

He Honglang's eyes lit up. "President Chen, as you know, I've just started to establish myself at the Qifei Group. Things are stable. My last bonus was five million, and the next one could be even more. I can't betray the company."

"Twenty million! Plus, I can arrange for your entire family to move to the Kappa Country and enjoy a life of comfort," Chen Mo said with a smile. He hadn't approached anyone else, choosing He Honglang specifically because he knew this kid would be the easiest to buy off.

"Alright, since you're being so generous, President Chen, I'll definitely help. But what is it you need me to do?" He Honglang asked, feigning puzzlement.

"It's simple. Help us get our hands on all of Qifei Group's research materials, including their data on Western medicine and traditional national medicine. Once it's done, I guarantee you'll walk away clean," Chen Mo said with a laugh. "Let me put it this way: we are going to crush the Qifei Group. Our company believes they have too much potential and will inevitably become a powerful rival to the Hanfang Association. Therefore, we must eliminate them early and nip the threat in the bud."

"Fine, I'm all in. It's the Qifei Group that's failing to see the big picture, not me who wants to betray them," He Honglang said, gritting his teeth. He knew full well that now that Chen Mo had shared this secret, he could no longer stay on the sidelines. I have to agree. Besides, what's so wrong with it? Every man for himself, and the devil take the hindmost!

The next day at work, He Honglang went straight to find Ye Fei. He planned to extort a hefty sum from the company before leaving. Since he was going to part ways with the Qifei Group anyway, he wasn't afraid of Ye Fei in the slightest. He plopped down in a chair as if he owned the place.

"President Ye, I heard that Qifei No. 1 has already earned the company a full one billion! Aren't you planning to give us a cut?" He Honglang asked directly.

Li Qingyan, who was standing nearby, was stunned by the scene. She knew the man was a bit cocky, but she never thought he was this insane. To dare to do something like this… he had truly lost his mind.

"What do you think you're doing, He Honglang?" Li Qingyan said coldly. "It's working hours. You should be in the research department. Why have you come here to make a scene?"
