Chapter 145 Victoria’s Proposal
Early in the morning, this incident didn’t cause much impact on Bikang Group’s employees.
After all, those researchers couldn’t see clearly through the thick fog, and as they fled in a hurry, they had no idea about the dangerous fight that had occurred at the scene. Lin Aoxue simply had someone claim that experimental equipment had exploded and was sent back for repairs, which eliminated most concerns.
As for why Su Rui was covered in blood, the final explanation was that he was injured by the exploding equipment while trying to save Lin Aoxue.
Actually, this reason wasn’t very convincing, especially since many employees had seen the two dead bodies. The management said the two had been handed over to the police, the company had expressed condolences to their families, and would provide appropriate compensation. Everyone seemed willing to believe the explanation given by management, and no one ever mentioned the two deceased people again.
Su Rui returned to his seat, and as soon as he logged into QQ, he saw Xia Qing and Xue Ruyun’s avatars flashing one after another.
“How are you? I heard you were injured? I’m not at the company now, so I don’t know the situation,” wrote Xia Qing.
“I’m fine, not injured at all, don’t worry,” Su Rui replied with a smiley face.
While Xue Ruyun said: “Little brother, seeing you carrying the CEO out, you really had quite the romantic fortune.”
Su Rui cheerfully replied: “Not as fortunate as spanking your bottom.”
After lunch, the alluring Victoria also arrived at Bikang Group to discuss cooperation matters.
Due to the horrifying incident that morning, Lin Aoxue naturally wasn’t in the mood to receive her, so only Lin Fuzhang came forward. Who knows what they discussed in the reception room, but when they came out, Lin Fuzhang was all smiles as he invited Su Rui to the chairman’s office.
As soon as Su Rui entered, he saw Victoria dressed in a snow-white suit and skirt sitting on the sofa drinking tea, her beautiful legs elegantly placed together. Her presence seemed to make the entire office several degrees brighter.
“Brother Su, come in,” Lin Fuzhang invited Su Rui in, smilingly poured him a cup of tea, his old face almost like a chrysanthemum, as if this morning’s events had no impact on his current mood.
If Lin Aoxue knew that Su Rui had imagined her father’s face as a chrysanthemum, she would definitely feel the urge to strangle him again.
“Old Lin, just say what you need to say, don’t smile so scarily, I’m not used to it,” Su Rui waved his hand with a look of disdain.
Lin Fuzhang coughed awkwardly twice and said, “Miss Victoria and our Bikang Group have reached a preliminary cooperation agreement. For the new project in the capital, she’s prepared to provide substantial financial support.”
Su Rui looked at Victoria, who was smiling and gazing at him, and said, “No need to tell me this, I’m not interested.”
Lin Fuzhang coughed awkwardly again: “This time, Miss Victoria said it was out of respect for you, Brother Su, that she agreed to this cooperation. I never imagined that you and Miss Victoria knew each other…”
Actually, the cooperation proposal Victoria put forward perfectly met Lin Fuzhang’s needs.
Bikang’s new large-scale pharmaceutical industrial complex in the capital required initial investments of over ten billion. Relying solely on loans, while not impossible, would undoubtedly bring considerable financial pressure and risk. Victoria’s investment solved the urgent problem, relieving Lin Fuzhang from worrying about funding for the new project.
When Victoria told Lin Fuzhang that she was willing to cooperate with Bikang Group solely out of respect for Su Rui, and wouldn’t consider any other Chinese pharmaceutical companies, Lin Fuzhang was completely shocked.
He had already imagined that Su Rui’s background might be powerful, but no matter how he guessed, Su Rui always surprised him.
Victoria, the cousin of the British prince, was willing to reach an agreement with Bikang Group solely out of respect for Su Rui! This was truly incredible!
After today’s two incidents, Lin Fuzhang fully realized that Su Rui was an important person in his life, a point he would never doubt in the future.
Su Rui looked at Lin Fuzhang and smiled slightly: “I spent a few years abroad before, and at that time Victoria was also somewhat unfocused on her career, so we became good friends due to our similar interests.”
Hearing this, Lin Fuzhang’s forehead immediately broke out in a waterfall of sweat. Su Rui was truly straightforward! To say such things in front of Victoria without any hesitation was incredibly bold!
Lin Fuzhang knew that at over fifty years old, he had to be extremely careful not to say anything wrong when meeting Victoria, as her status was much higher than his. Yet Su Rui could make such jokes without any concern, which showed how familiar he was with Victoria!
Thinking about this, Lin Fuzhang glanced in Victoria’s direction. This woman of noble status showed no displeasure at Su Rui’s words and continued to smile at him.
This shocked Lin Fuzhang even more.
At this point, Su Rui turned to Lin Fuzhang and said, “Brother Lin, could you give Victoria and me some space? I have something to discuss with her.”
Lin Fuzhang immediately nodded repeatedly: “Of course, no problem! I’ll step out, you two talk.”
With that, Lin Fuzhang left without delay.
Closing the office door, this leader of China’s pharmaceutical industry couldn’t help but cover his forehead and smile bitterly. This was his own office, yet he had just left it to two young people. It was truly frustrating.
However, thinking about the boundless benefits this cooperation would bring to Bikang Group, Lin Fuzhang’s smile became increasingly relaxed.
At this moment, Finance Deputy Director Zhou Anke arrived at the door. She had originally wanted to report recent situations to Lin Fuzhang and had previously scheduled a time with him, but didn’t expect to see the chairman coming out of his office.
“Chairman, Director Li is on a business trip, so I’m here to report on the recent financial situation,” Zhou Anke’s voice was still soft and sweet, making people feel like a spring breeze.
Lin Fuzhang walked a few steps outward and said, “Let’s talk here.”
Zhou Anke was somewhat surprised, because Lin Fuzhang always handled problems and processed documents in his office. Why would he be in the corridor today?
Seemingly noticing Zhou Anke’s confusion, Lin Fuzhang smiled naturally and said, “Su Rui is handling some matters inside.”
“Su Rui?”
Hearing these two words, Zhou Anke was even more surprised.
…
Su Rui looked at Victoria, who was flirting with him, and said, “The Black Blood Mercenary Group has sent people here.”
“Black Blood? Johnson?” Victoria was immediately surprised: “How did they come here? Is it for Triazolam?”
“Indeed, two people came, both were killed by me,” Su Rui nodded.
“What exactly happened?”
So, Su Rui explained the situation at the laboratory today. He didn’t need to hide anything from Victoria, because this cousin of the British prince had another identity—one of the twelve divine guards under the Sun God! The Platinum Mask Warrior!
After hearing this, Victoria’s face became serious.
In her view, daring to offend Bikang Group meant offending Su Rui, and offending Su Rui was equivalent to offending her! Absolutely unforgivable!
“They deserve to die,” Victoria slapped the sofa: “I’ll return to the West now and bring people to destroy the Black Blood Mercenary Group!”
“I’ve already sent the Gemini Stars to do this,” Su Rui said calmly.
“The Gemini Stars?” Victoria was somewhat surprised by Su Rui’s decision: “You actually sent those two personally? Isn’t that like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut?”
Su Rui smiled: “And wouldn’t it be the same if you went? Any one of the twelve divine guards against the Black Blood Mercenary Group would be like using a cannon to shoot a mosquito, let alone the Gemini Stars.”
Victoria was delighted by Su Rui’s words, but she didn’t quite understand his approach: “Since you say that, why send both Gemini Stars? If it’s already using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, these two sledgehammers are too sharp.”
“I’m afraid that even if the two of them bring people over, they won’t be able to completely eradicate the Black Blood Mercenary Group,” Su Rui’s eyes revealed a thoughtful look.
“You mean?” Victoria was increasingly confused!
“Kostelny’s Black Spider organization had already sent two people over before, who were driven back by me. This news has spread throughout the Western underworld. Logically, as a third-rate force, the Black Blood Mercenary Group had no reason to act like this, but they still did. The implications of this are worth pondering.”
Victoria’s comprehension was extremely strong. She looked at Su Rui and asked somewhat uncertainly: “Are you saying that there’s someone behind the Black Blood Mercenary Group, or rather, behind Johnson?”
Su Rui shook his head: “I’m worried it’s not just someone, but a god.”
“A god?” The serious look in Victoria’s eyes intensified: “You mean, one of the twelve gods?”
“Correct, I’m concerned that one of the twelve gods is backing the Black Blood Mercenary Group, otherwise this mercenary group couldn’t have developed so rapidly in the past two years. This time they probably received instructions from him, which is why Johnson dared to send people to China to test the waters.”
“If there’s a god backing the Black Blood Mercenary Group, the Gemini Stars will definitely encounter considerable resistance this time.”
Victoria nodded, deeply agreeing.
Su Rui paused, then added somewhat uncertainly: “Of course, this is just my guess. Maybe I’m just being paranoid.”
“Your reasoning must be correct,” Victoria said.
“That’s why I decided to eradicate the Black Blood Mercenary Group. I plan to force out whoever is standing behind them,” Su Rui said.
“But there’s a simpler way,” Victoria said: “Why don’t you just claim that you’ve already taken possession of the new synthesis method for Triazolam?”
