Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2157: Chapter 1644: Escalating Emotions

Mr. Ma never dreamed that his undermining words would be heard in full by the hurriedly arriving Mr. Cooper.

Just now, Mr. Cooper noticed Mr. Ma huddled together with Dr. Cui Chen, suspecting that Caroline was intentionally delaying him to allow her people the opportunity to act, which prompted him to quickly excuse himself and rush over, just in time to hear Mr. Ma’s words, naturally leaving him both surprised and pissed off.

Business competition is just that—a competition. You make an offer, I make an offer, and Dr. Cui naturally determines the collaboration by who offers the most!

Who reveals others’ shortcomings to their face, undermining them directly!

That’s low, shameless! Completely without principles!

If it comes down to digging up dirt, Ambray isn’t much better off either, inciting disdain!

Mr. Cooper, already bearing deep wariness of Caroline’s arrival, is determined to win the cooperation with Dr. Cui—for it represents his initial step in managing the family’s core business. Not only does he need to complete it, but it must be done beautifully in order to secure prestige within the family, making his position as future Family Head even more secure!

Moreover, Mr. Cooper and his family have always harbored animosity towards Caroline deep in their hearts.

After all, it is that woman and the family behind her that significantly harmed their interests.

Had there not been such a disparity presently between the two or a suitable opportunity for action, they would have already retaliated.

However, for now, they’ve reached their limit of tolerance.

With such fresh and old grudges, coupled with the urgency of collaborating with Dr. Cui, Mr. Cooper’s aura was striking.

”Oh, it’s Mr. Cooper.” Mr. Ma becomes visibly flustered upon seeing Mr. Cooper, masking his embarrassment with a forced smile.

Mr. Cooper strides over, glaring angrily at Mr. Ma but restrains himself in front of Dr. Cui, not delivering the slap he wants to and merely asking in a stern voice, ”What did you just tell Dr. Cui Chen?”

”It’s nothing really,” Mr. Ma laughed awkwardly, hoping to cover up his inappropriate actions moments ago.

Mr. Ma thought to himself, even if Mr. Cooper heard, would he really make a fuss over someone like him in front of all these esteemed guests?

Mr. Cooper scornfully glanced at Mr. Ma, ignoring him, and instead turned with a different demeanor, nodding politely yet warmly at Dr. Cui Chen.

”Hello, Dr. Cui, we’ve met before. I’m Cooper from the Kele KE Group.” Mr. Cooper said with a smile, extending his hand.

”Hello, Mr. Cooper.” Without revealing any emotion, Dr. Cui shook hands with Mr. Cooper.

It was then that Mr. Cooper noticed Bai Xiaosheng was also present, surprised by the sight.

”A friend.” Dr. Cui gestured between Bai Xiaosheng and himself.

This Huaxia man named Bai is actually friends with Dr. Cui?

Mr. Cooper was indeed shocked, but upon further contemplation, he felt pleased.

From his perspective, Bai Xiaosheng was a friend of Bai Yuefeng, and Bai Yuefeng was considered his friend. With this connection, his confidence in the purpose of his visit grew even greater.

Seeing Dr. Cui laughing and chatting with Mr. Cooper, calling Bai Xiaosheng a friend, and the atmosphere harmonious, as if they were about to sign the deal, Mr. Ma grew somewhat anxious.

Bai Xiaosheng noticed Mr. Ma’s reaction but didn’t bother explaining anything to him, instead a small mischievous thought emerged in his mind.

”We were having a pleasant conversation earlier, but Mr. Ma Weiqian’s words made it seem like Mr. Cooper’s company has some...” Bai Xiaosheng shrugged, leaving the sentence unfinished.

Bai Xiaosheng indeed intended to stir things up a bit.

With someone like Mr. Ma, buzzing around like a fly, constantly being obtrusive, Bai Xiaosheng found him quite annoying.

He decided it best to leave the task of driving him away to Mr. Cooper, using Mr. Cooper’s hand to deal with him.

Mr. Cooper initially planned to make acquaintance with Dr. Cui, but upon hearing Bai Xiaosheng’s remark and noticing Dr. Cui’s face turn slightly displeased, he recalled Mr. Ma’s recent attempt to dig up dirt on his family company, sparking his anger again.

Mr. Cooper immediately turned around, wearing a grim expression, and looked at Mr. Ma.

The latter instinctively looked at him, clearly showing a much weaker demeanor, somewhat shrinking back.

”Mr. Ma, what did you just say to Dr. Cui?” Mr. Cooper asked with a sinister smile, his voice slightly eerie.

”Just some old news from the media, nothing new, really.” Mr. Ma feigned calmness and smiled.

Facing Mr. Cooper, Mr. Ma indeed felt somewhat intimidated, but watching Dr. Cui conversing happily with Bai Xiaosheng and Mr. Cooper stirred a strong sense of envy within him.

What Mr. Ma implied in his words was directed at Dr. Cui—

He didn’t say anything wrong, it’s all verifiable news, and Kele KE Group indeed had multiple scandals, the kind Dr. Cui particularly despised!

Seeing Mr. Ma dare to play tricks in front of him, Mr. Cooper was both astonished and enraged, finally becoming so angry that he laughed, ”I wonder how much the senior sales manager of Ambray, Mr. Ma, knows about your own company’s old news. Why don’t you tell Dr. Cui about it!”

Mr. Cooper deliberately corrected himself, saying loudly, ”Oh, really sorry, I misspoke. That’s not old news, because last month you guys had a hot topic—a batch of your expensive drugs had problems, was found out internally, yet you had the nerve to intentionally hide it and sell it elsewhere. Bravo to your team!”

During this, Mr. Cooper glanced over at Dr. Cui.

Dr. Cui furrowed his brows, his expression unpleasant, whispering with his cousin Cui Xuexue.

Miss Cui Xuexue was holding her phone, jotting something down.

They were certainly recording it for assessment!

Mr. Cooper was secretly pleased.

In evaluating suitable partners, companies must consider various factors.

If dirt can be dug up instead of competing financially, allowing the primary competitor to fall, Mr. Cooper felt inclined to pursue it.

”Mr. Cooper, you shouldn’t say it’s that serious...” Mr. Ma tried to counter Mr. Cooper, although with noticeably lacking confidence.

Nearby, a group of people had already gathered, attracted by the content of Mr. Ma and Mr. Cooper’s words, pointing and discussing fervently.

”Am I making it up, and it’s not significant for you?” Mr. Cooper sneered repeatedly.

Mr. Cooper now felt exhilarated by attacking his opponent!

Isn’t it just exposing the dirt? Ambray has far more than his company!

”If you think it’s not significant, let me tell you a few more things!” Mr. Cooper decided to dispense with politeness.

After all, it was Mr. Ma who started it!

Even if it caused a fallout, he held reason!

Mr. Cooper, confident, casually pointed out a few things concerning Ambray—all having appeared in the media—yet with his few words hinting at directions for imagination, letting bystanders click their tongues in admiration.

Bai Xiaosheng found it interesting to listen to.

Dr. Cui and Cui Xuexue immersed themselves in discussion, seemingly lowering the evaluation on collaborating with Ambray once more.

Mr. Ma, witnessing this scene, saw others pointing fingers, realizing not only might he lose the collaboration opportunity but his reckless words could trigger dire trouble. He grew somewhat fearful.

Mr. Ma attempted repeatedly to stop Mr. Cooper from continuing in vain, becoming increasingly anxious and frenzied.

”Mr. Cooper, you’ve got plenty of dirt yourself, don’t think I don’t know!” Mr. Ma haphazardly began sparring with Mr. Cooper, ”You talk, and I’ll talk!”

As their verbal sparring grew fierce, more people gathered to watch, catching the attention from afar.

Bai Xiaosheng observed leisurely.

He hadn’t expected a casual ”provocation” would lead to hearing such insider information—truly a worthwhile experience, as these two engaged in such a dogfight were quite entertaining.

Seeing Dr. Cui’s frowning reaction, he seemed quite dissatisfied with both companies.

So it appeared that Dr. Cui’s scale should tilt more towards his own—Feisheng Biotechnology Pharmaceuticals.

Bai Xiaosheng was not eyeing Dr. Cui’s research outcomes but didn’t wish for predatory companies to profit from them either.

Watching Mr. Cooper and Mr. Ma becoming increasingly agitated, Bai Xiaosheng reflected on the extensive amounts of dirt on these guys!

Contrasted to them, his company seemed like a model of virtue!

If someone as upright as Dr. Cui ultimately chooses Feisheng Biotechnology Pharmaceuticals, Bai Xiaosheng felt it would largely be because of that saying—

Relied entirely on the comparison with peers...
