C17 His Eyes Were Blind

Liu Yunhua didn't dare to present Lin Sheng with a mediocre proposal worth only a few hundred thousand. After exhausting all other options, he subtly hinted at Lin Sheng's considerable net worth.

Wang Jian was taken aback. A billionaire?

If Liu Yunhua's claim held any truth, Lin Sheng's wealth would surpass that of Tiankang Pharmaceutical as a whole!

Lin Sheng could outright purchase Tiankang Pharmaceutical!

For someone of his stature to consider partnering with their modest Huacheng branch was an opportunity of a lifetime, the kind you couldn't find even if you searched with a lantern in the past!

Without hesitation, he produced the largest contract from the Huacheng branch of Tiankang Pharmaceutical, ready to sign it over to Lin Sheng.

Watching Wang Jian so readily humble himself, the security guards were left in shock.

Even when meeting with executives from the main company, Wang Jian was never this eager. Who was this unassuming man?

The security guards weren't the only ones in disbelief; Cheng Yunfei was equally astonished.

Here stood Wang Jian, the top executive of Tiankang Pharmaceutical in Huacheng!

Under normal circumstances, she wouldn't even get the chance to converse with him.

Yet now, Wang Jian was personally there to greet them, extending such courtesy?

Even accounting for Liu Yunhua's influence, this level of politeness seemed excessive!

The other staff members accompanying Wang Jian were unaware of Lin Sheng's true financial standing. When Wang Jian had received Liu Yunhua's call, he had summoned them all, claiming they were about to welcome a major client.

They had anticipated someone extraordinary, but were greeted by an ordinary-looking individual instead.

Nevertheless, Wang Jian's enthusiasm set the tone, and they all greeted Lin Sheng and Cheng Yunfei with warm smiles.

"Mr. Wang, please, there's no need for such formality. By awarding the contract to the Cheng family this time, we assure you that you won't be disappointed," Lin Sheng responded graciously.

A billionaire, Lin Sheng's humility caught Wang Jian off guard, leaving him somewhat overwhelmed.

"From now on, we're friends. Should the Cheng family require any assistance, we'll be there without hesitation," Wang Jian replied with a hearty laugh.

His position as the head of Tiankang Pharmaceutical's Huacheng branch was certainly well-earned.

To forge a connection with Lin Sheng, he went ahead and signed a substantial contract with the Cheng family. He had done his due diligence and found that the Cheng family wasn't the best fit for the project.

But having made the commitment to work with the Cheng family, he was determined to prop them up, even if they were as ineffective as a lump of clay. He was ready to assist with technology and management to ensure the smooth progression of the project.

Lin Sheng gave a nod of approval upon hearing this and cast an appreciative glance at Wang Jian. He recognized that Wang Jian had talent. They should get acquainted, as there might be opportunities for future collaborations.

Cheng Yunfei observed Lin Sheng and Wang Jian conversing with ease and precision, a far cry from Lin Sheng's usual ineffectual demeanor. It was as though he had transformed into someone else entirely.

It seemed to Cheng Yunfei that she was seeing Lin Sheng in a new light. She had to admit, he was quite charismatic at that moment!

She was overjoyed, feeling confident that the contract would go through without a hitch.

In stark contrast to Cheng Yunfei's elation, the security guards were far from happy.

They were sweating profusely, their faces ashen with fear.

They had doubted Lin Sheng when he said he was there to sign a contract, even mistaking him for a mere salesman.

But Lin Sheng was not only there to sign a contract, he was there for a major deal!

As the security guards trembled with fear, Wang Jian's piercing gaze landed on them.

"Geng Yong! Come over here!"

Wang Jian's commanding shout sent a shiver down the spines of the security guards, with Geng Yong, their captain, shrinking back in fear.

"Mr. Wang..."

Geng Yong realized he had made a grave mistake by offending a VIP that Mr. Wang was personally receiving. He hoped for a fine at most, fearing the loss of his hard-earned position as captain—a position he had secured through many connections. The thought of losing it made him contemplate the unthinkable.

"You're utterly blind! How dare you obstruct Mr. Lin's way? You're all fired!" Wang Jian declared, pointing at the security guards without a hint of sympathy.

"Mr. Wang, please don't do this!"

"We were wrong, we just didn't see clearly this time. Please give us another chance!"

"Yeah, I've got a mortgage and car loans. If I lose this job, I might as well jump off a building!"

"Mr. Wang, I have an 80-year-old mother at home who relies on me for care..."

These individuals were well aware of Wang Jian's temperament; he was never lenient when it came to firing people. Desperate to keep their jobs, they pleaded with every excuse they could muster. Tiankang Pharmaceutical was a major company, not only providing comprehensive benefits, including the 'five insurances and one fund,' but also offering a monthly salary that was a generous 30% higher than competitors in the industry. The security guards couldn't bear the thought of losing such a lucrative position.

Yet, Wang Jian remained unmoved by their pleas. At that moment, the head of security tried a different angle, "Mr. Wang, you can't really blame us. Mr. Lin didn't have an appointment, and he arrived on an electric scooter. Logically, he didn't fit the profile of someone here for business discussions."

"Ignorance is no crime, Mr. Wang. Perhaps you could overlook this incident just this once?"

Lin Sheng scoffed, "I made it clear that we were here to sign a contract, but you wouldn't even report our arrival. Your handling of your duties is, quite frankly, astonishing."

Had these men shown genuine remorse, Lin Sheng might not have been so unforgiving. He could have even spoken in their favor. However, faced with their blatant lies and attempts at being clever, Lin Sheng was not inclined to show leniency.

Moreover, as a future partner of Tiankang Pharmaceutical, assisting them in weeding out subpar employees was simply part of his role.

"Go to the finance department, collect your wages, and leave," Wang Jian stated without a hint of compassion.

Wang Jian's decision to terminate these employees was initially to curry favor with Lin Sheng. Now that Lin Sheng had spoken up, Wang Jian had nothing further to add, except, "If you keep babbling, you can forget about your wages altogether!"

Instantly, the group was silenced, their faces etched with unspeakable misery. They no longer dared to plead, fearful of losing even their final paycheck.

They were filled with immense regret. It was all because they had crossed Lin Sheng. Otherwise, they wouldn't have found themselves out of a job.

Subsequently, Wang Jian welcomed Lin Sheng and Cheng Yunfei into the VIP suite of the Tiankang Building. A lavish spread of premium fruits and beverages was presented to them, signifying the highest level of hospitality.

"Mr. Lin, here's the contract. Please review it, and if everything looks good, you can go ahead and sign," Wang Jian offered the contract to Lin Sheng with great respect.

Lin Sheng accepted the contract and passed it to Cheng Yunfei, saying, "Yunfei, have a look."

Cheng Yunfei's hands shook as she received the contract. The partnership with Tiankang Pharmaceutical was initially a vile scheme concocted by the Cheng family to oust her, and undoubtedly, Cheng Jin was behind it.

Yet, what seemed like an impossible task had now been accomplished with Lin Sheng's assistance.

Cheng Yunfei was overwhelmed by a sense of disbelief, as if she were living in a dream.
