Chapter 140
At that moment, the Song family’s apartment was packed with people.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Everyone was staring at Bella with burning eyes.
Bella was the head of the Song family and also the director of the Song Group.
However, how many of them would accept her?
How many of them would acknowledge her as the head of this family?
Therefore, everyone had been keeping a close eye on Bella’s movements recently.
As long as she made the slightest mistake, they would seize the opportunity and force her to step down as the head of the Song family.
Rosaline cleared her throat and looked at Chase apathetically.
Then, she voiced, “Since everyone is here, let’s start the meeting.
Although Bella is the director of the Song Group, we’re still in a transitional period. So, I should preside over this meeting today.”
Chase sneered inwardly. He had not received any news from this group of b*stards for the past few days.
They were starting to wreak havoc again.”In the past two days, I’ve heard that Bella has bought a batch of Heption Herb. We all have a rough picture of the reason. I want to highlight that it was a good move. However,
the procedure could have been more meticulous,” Rosaline continued.
Ethan chimed in immediately. “Why didn’t you tell us about such a significant purchase? What’s wrong
with you? Do you want to hoard all these herbs?”
Ethan’s statement received a lot of support from others.
A man immediately roared, “That’s right. Don’t think
that you can make decisions unilaterally just because you’re the director!
if the Song family suffers any losses, are you going to bear the consequences?”
The lady next to Ethan hissed, “In my opinion, she is abusing
her power for personal gain by opening a separate account. She is acquiring it for her own stash.”
Bella became disheartened instantly. These people were making Bella the scapegoat for everything!
Rosaline knocked on the table and said, “Alright, stop
talking about it. I believe Bella is not such a person, even though it is indeed a fact that she has mishandled this matter. How about this, Bella? Since all the funds for this purchase are transferred from the company’s account, you have to make sure that all transactions are done well. We will check it at any time.”
Bella knew she was innocent; she did no make this purchase for personal gains.
She knew that Rosaline was playing the good cop at this moment while the remaining Song’s were the bad cop.
It seemed they were using this tactic to twist the truth to make Bella look like a person who had abused her powers.
She was exasperated!
Rosaline saw that Bella had nothing to say.
She scoffed silently and said to Ethan, “Ethan, do you have any inputs on this matter?”
Ethan was already for this situation. He cleared his throat.
“The Heption Herb is exclusive to Golden City. It is going to become the main ingredient for the new medicine of the Helping Hands Medical Center.
Therefore, we have to be a step ahead. As for Heption Village, we will, of course, pay our visit. However, I have a quicker method to seize the herbs.”
Everyone turned their gaze at him.
Ethan then continued confidently, “If we purchase it directly from the village, the process would be too complex and time-consuming. The main issue is that the quantity is too small. The method I’m suggesting is to deal directly with the pharmaceutical companies that specialize in herbs. We’ll buy in bulk before they notice the value of the Heption Herb. It’s faster and easier, and it will have less chance of developing complications too.”
Rosaline’s face lit up with joy. Ethan’s method was indeed faster than Bella’s! Bella’s way of buying the herbs from the plantation owners was too inefficient!
Besides, it might draw suspicion of other pharmaceutical companies.
in the long run too.
At that time, they would face competition.
Speed was the key factor in winning this battle!
“Okay! I agree with this method. Ethan, have you come up with a specific plan?” Rosaline asked.
Steve had naturally expected this question.
“Haha, there’s a pharmaceutical company in Golden City that specializes in acquiring Heption Herb. Moreover, they’ve been purchasing it for years, so I’m sure they’ve long stockpiled tons of Heption Herb in their factory. Let’s contact them!”
“Are you referring to the Zhao family of Golden City? You’re going to look for Lincon Zhao?” Rosaline frowned and added, “That fellow is a cunning old fox. You’ll raise his suspicion.”
Steve, however, replied confidently,”Grandma, don’t worry.
I’ve been friends with Lincon’s son, Daniel, for many years. As long as Daniel is willing to help, this business is a done deal!”
Daniel?
Lincon?
Chase frowned slightly.
He didn’t expect Daniel to be Lincon’s son.
Neither of them was a decent person. Ethan was getting himself into trouble.
Bella’s face was obviously written with uneasiness.
Previously, they had cut ties with Daniel.
And Ethan was trying to meet him at this moment…
Ethan seemed to have seen through Bella’s apprehension. He said with a smirk, “Grandma, there is something you should know. As far as I know, Bella has humiliated Daniel in front of a large crowd a few days ago, making the Zhao family resent us.”
“What?” Rosaline’s face turned red with anger!
“Plus, word has it that Bella used her power as the director of Song Group to pressure Daniel.” Ethan’s statement added fuel to the fire.
All of a sudden, the crowd burst into an uproar.
Rosaline’s body quivered in red fury. She stared at Bella as her blood began to quicken!
“Bella, I entrusted you as the director. It was not for you to abuse your power! We’re running a business, so we should always make peace with others! When you offended the Zhao family, have you thought of the impact
it can do on the Song family? I’m utterly disappointed in you!” Rosaline yelled.
Bella was depressed. She wanted to argue, but she was tongue-tied.
This was because Rosaline had already bought Ethan’s words!
She wouldn’t believe what Bella had to say!
She knew that she very likely would be blamed for being
short-sighted again. It would be wasting her time to defend herself!
“Well, liaise with the Zhao family now. Ethan, you’ll be in
charge of this matter. You must mitigate the damage that Bella had done. It doesn’t matter if the price is higher. We’ll treat it as a way to compensate them.”
Rosaline didn’t even bother to bat an eye at Bella.
Ethan was on cloud nine. “Bella, do thank me and the Song and the Song family. Our family is doing the best to clean up your mess. Your childish behavior brings this upon our family.”
Bella was so furious that her face turned red.
But Chase grabbed her hand and comforted her gently, “It’s alright. Let’s stay still and watch everything unravel itself. We shall see what they are going to do.”
Sure enough, Steve added confidently,
“Grandma, I still have another idea to make a bigger fortune. Are you keen to hear about it.”
Rosaline froze for a moment before replying,”Tell me about it first.”
Ethan added, “I’m going to push the marketing team to promote the Heption Herb in the entire city!”
Ethan rubbed his palms as he continued,”Think about it. How much can we earn by jumping on the bandwagon of the Helping Hands Medical Center when they release the new medicine?
We can double the price of herbs.
Besides, the Helping Hands Medical Center can only get the supply from us. We should not restrict our business to be operating on such a small scale?”
Speaking of this, Ethan suddenly rose from his seat as he boomed,”We need to monopolize the entire market in
Golden City!”
He looked around the people and added,”Hence, I intend to enhance the medicinal value of the Heption Herb! We will highlight its recuperative property, especially in the recovery of male virility. We will draw the first blood in this game!”
