C9 Cripple Faang Chonggong

"If you stay silent, I'm going to assume you agree," Zhao Feng said with a sly chuckle, pocketing the bank card while stubbornly holding onto Wei Ying's hand.

"Let go of me first," Wei Ying demanded, her cheeks flushed with irritation. What was with this guy? Since when had he become such a rogue?

"Aren't you touched by my heartfelt declaration, my dear wife? Don't I deserve a little reward?"

"Reward you? In your dreams!"

Wei Ying wrenched her hand free and retreated to her bedroom, slamming the door shut behind her.

"I gave you a chance, and you made your choice," Wei Ying declared, her voice loud against the closed door. "Just remember, if I end up bankrupt, you'll be joining me on the streets."

…

Zhao Feng was out shopping when his phone rang.

"Elder Ding, what's the status of the investigation I asked for?"

"Master Zhao, Faang Chonggong did indeed meet with Miss Wei Ying, but it was merely a meal, nothing inappropriate occurred," Elder Ding reported.

"That's not what I'm after. What's the real scoop?" Zhao Feng pressed.

"Understood. Faang Chonggong is secretly collaborating with Qiu Zhaoyang, and he's involved in the Lee Family's takeover of the Wei Family Group."

Zhao Feng let out a soft laugh. "Quite the elaborate plot. Strip him of his position and kick him out of the company—now!"

"As you wish, Master Zhao," Elder Ding responded with due reverence.

"There's one more thing. The third anniversary of my marriage to Wei Ying is coming up. Purchase the Thousand Autumn Hotel next to EDonghai Pharmaceutical Industry, and invite Donghai City's elite. I want to celebrate our anniversary there."

"Understood."

After the call, Zhao Feng's lips curled into a cold smirk. "Anyone who targets my wife will have to check if their neck can bear the weight."

The following day, in the General Manager's office of Yingkang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.

Wei Ying sat in her chair, lost in thought over Zhao Feng's words from the day before. She gave her face a light slap, rallying her spirits. There was still so much to do.

She had previously signed several contracts for exclusive representation with various companies. Now, she had to go through the painstaking process of negotiating each termination.

However, she had already reached out to several pharmacies, and they were adamant, flat-out refusing to terminate the contracts.

This meant that if Wei Ying couldn't secure the drug distribution rights, she'd be forced to fork over an astronomical penalty fee!

She did a quick calculation and realized the fee alone would be in the tens of millions! She probably couldn't clear that debt even if she went bankrupt!

The thought filled Wei Ying's heart with despair. Had all her years of hard work been for nothing, only to lose everything overnight?

In her desperation, she even considered swallowing her pride to plead with Chen Min.

But if she did that, Wei Ying and her parents would lose all respect within the Wei Family.

With a heavy heart, she closed her eyes, her hand gripping the water cup shaking uncontrollably.

"President Wei, there's a Mr. Fang outside who insists on seeing you," her assistant's voice came through the door.

Wei Ying paused, a Mr. Fang?

Her mind immediately went to Faang Chonggong, and a wave of revulsion swept over her. Was Faang Chonggong here to torment her in person?

"No!" Wei Ying's voice was icy.

Upon hearing her refusal, Faang Chonggong outside became frantic: "Wei Ying... Oh, I mean, President Wei! It's Faang Chonggong! You have to meet with me! I have something crucial to discuss!" Ignoring the assistant's attempts to block him, he barged into the room.

"President Wei, please hear me out! I've come specifically to apologize to you!"

Faang Chonggong glanced at Wei Ying cautiously, speaking with utmost respect.

Wei Ying's brow furrowed. "What's this all about, Faang Chonggong?"

"President Wei, my visit is truly one of apology," Faang Chonggong said with a rueful smile. "I realize now that my past actions have offended you, and I'm here to ask for your forgiveness. I had no idea about your connection with President Ding of EDonghai Pharmaceutical Industry. Had I known you were friends, I wouldn't have dared to cross you!"

"EDonghai Pharmaceutical Industry, President Ding?" Wei Ying was baffled. "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"President Wei, President Ding himself called to fire me! He said it was all because I crossed you!" Faang Chonggong pleaded with a pained expression. "I beg you, show some mercy and let this go."

Wei Ying's frown deepened as she fixed her gaze on Faang Chonggong. "Are you trying to pull a fast one on me? Listen, Faang Chonggong, I may not have clout or connections, but I'm no pushover. Don't push your luck!"

"President Wei, I swear I'm telling the truth. Please, you have to speak to President Ding on my behalf, ask him to forgive me!" Faang Chonggong implored, moving a few steps closer to Wei Ying in his agitation.

Wei Ying stepped back and yelled, "Someone get this man out of here!"

The security guards swiftly entered, escorting Faang Chonggong out, one on each side, as he continued to wail and plead.

Wei Ying was baffled. If she truly had connections with someone of President Ding's stature, why would she bother seeking an exclusive agency agreement with Faang Chonggong?

Lost in thought, she was interrupted by another knock on the door. "President Wei," her assistant announced, "there's a visitor claiming to be from EDonghai Pharmaceutical Industry requesting to see you."
