X-ray Eyes Little Wild Doctor-Chapter 256 - 251: People from the Province Have Arrived

"Alright, I’ll get on it right away," Bai Lan immediately left the president’s office and issued the president’s order.

The order was quickly passed down, and Ye Tian immediately became furious. Was it really necessary to make things so difficult just for a minor signing group? Clearly, these guys were no good; it was obvious they were trying to make a quick buck.

He went to the rooftop alone, dialed Wang Bingbing’s phone, told her the situation, and instructed, "Find out who is supposed to be signing the contract. It’s outrageous that they have not shown up yet."

Wang Bingbing promptly agreed, ordered her subordinates to investigate, and the results came back quickly. Such tendering matters could not be kept secret—the information had to be completely public and was not considered a trade secret, known to the entire business circle in the provincial capital.

She reported the findings to Ye Tian in full detail, and his brow immediately furrowed.

"Alright, I know everything now. That’s all," Ye Tian said with a face uglier than ever before.

After hanging up the phone with Wang Bingbing, he returned to the security office, just in time to bump into Yun Xinyan coming out. He wanted to tell her the truth, but fearing it would be too much for her to handle, he hesitated for a moment and ended up saying nothing.

Time ticked away, and soon it was 11 a.m., with only half an hour left before lunch break. Yet, the person in charge of signing the contract from the province still had not appeared. The company’s staff began to gossip privately, and the entire corporation was boiling over with rumors flying everywhere and people feeling uneasy, making all kinds of speculations.

Yun Xinyan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the president’s office, fists clenched, gazing at the bustling scenery of Capital City, feeling extremely unwilling to concede defeat. She would never give up until the very last moment.

The situation had developed to such an extent that even the senior management began to whisper about the signing potentially being void, speculating that there must have been some changes at the provincial level. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

"What’s all this whispering about? Focus on your own tasks!" Bai Lan scolded with a frown. The senior executives, somewhat in awe of her, immediately scattered away.

Bai Lan walked into Yun Xinyan’s office and poured her a cup of coffee.

"No need," Yun Xinyan pushed away the coffee.

Knowing she was in a bad mood, Bai Lan didn’t say anything but simply stayed by her side. They started to chat about their days at school and the amusing incidents from their dormitory, and only then did Yun Xinyan’s mood improve.

"They’re here, they’re here!" Someone suddenly burst into the president’s office, exclaiming with great excitement, "President Yun, they’re here, the signing party has arrived."

The person panting with the news was Gu Lei, who was responsible for guarding the front door. As soon as he saw the visitors take the elevator, he hurried to report to the president.

Yun Xinyan’s expression immediately turned serious, "Inform all staff to welcome them according to the original plan."

"No need, they’re already at the company, now in the small meeting room," Gu Lei said. "Their representative wants to see you, President Yun, what should we do now?"

"They arrived so suddenly?" Yun Xinyan frowned and asked, "How many of them came?"

"Two," Gu Lei answered with certainty.

"Only two!?" A bad feeling came over Yun Xinyan.

According to business norms, for a massive signing event worth billions, there should be at least a 20-person signing delegation along with notary officials and government leaders, and even journalists for publicity—the group should total at least 50 people.

But there were only two people from the other side, which was quite telling.

Yun Xinyan suddenly felt dizzy; she dared not continue her line of thought. The fate awaiting Yun Corporation seemed all too clear to her now.

"President Yun, what’s the matter? Are you feeling unwell?" Gu Lei asked.

"I’m fine. Lanlan, come with me; let’s see what they’re up to," Yun Xinyan said weakly, feeling completely hollowed out. She steadied herself and asked, "Where’s Ye Tian? Why hasn’t he shown up?"

"Director Ye is in the office," Gu Lei said.

"Call him here to accompany me. After all, as a director, he must be present in such situations."

Yun Xinyan knew very well that she was already feeling exhausted. If she had to face the pressure from the province, she might not hold up. As long as Ye Tian was by her side, she had a pillar of support and feared nothing.

Ye Tian arrived quickly and didn’t say much, just a casual remark, "Wealth is external; even without this project, we’ll still live well."

Yun Xinyan nodded, leading her staff into the meeting room. Inside the spacious conference room sat two middle-aged men in suits, who stood up and smiled upon seeing Yun Xinyan.

"This must be President Yun, truly a heroine among women, second to none," the older bald man stood up and spoke his icy pleasantries.

Yun Xinyan nodded with a smile, asking someone to serve tea and water, only to be rejected by the bald man. He shook his head and said, "No need to trouble yourself, we are just messengers. There’s no need for President Yun to be too courteous."

As she spoke, she opened her briefcase and took out a document along with a thick summary report. Ye Tian could clearly see that the title of the report was: "Specific Written Report Regarding the Rejection of Yun Corporation."

A document and a report were handed directly to Yun Xinyan, who felt as though the world was spinning, yet she still managed to maintain a facade as stable as Mount Tai.

Yun Xinyan smiled and said, "What is the meaning of this, gentlemen?"

The bald man said, "President Yun, we’re just messengers, so there’s no point in making it hard for us. Making things difficult for us will achieve nothing, the decision was made by the board of directors. If they say your proposal won’t work, there’s nothing we can do. Isn’t that right?"

"Nonsense, our group’s proposal is the best. Why won’t it work? What’s wrong with it? Explain it clearly to us!" Bai Lan, usually the most good-tempered, suddenly lost her temper.

She was Yun Xinyan’s closest friend, and their friendship was extremely deep. This project had consumed so much of her energy. She had planned to sign the contract today, but who could have expected the provincial government to suddenly renege? The blow was too much to take, completely unacceptable.

The billions of dollars were secondary; the main thing was that the whole group’s effort would go down the drain, seriously undermining the employees’ morale. This kind of blow was absolutely fatal for the company. More than that, her primary concern was for her dear friend.

"About the matter of terminating the contract, we can discuss it slowly. It’s getting late, and the company has carefully prepared lunch. Why don’t you both honor us with your presence, and join us for a meal downstairs? Hehe, our company has even invited a chief chef from Capital City, do give us the honor."

Yun Xinyan proved herself a dominant CEO, facing this sudden situation. Although her heart was in turmoil, she maintained her composure, chatting and laughing with ease, not showing any sign of distress.

The bald man hesitated, looking at his partner, a young man who hadn’t seen much of the world and was on a business trip for the first time. It was up to him to decide whether to stay or go.

As he was undecided, he heard President Yun say with a smile, "There’s no need to rush off, gentlemen. Business may not have succeeded, but good will remains. How about you stay a few more days in River City? All expenses will be covered by our corporation. How does that sound?"

"Alright, I’ll take you up on that generous offer just for President Yun’s magnanimity." The bald man also showed his own degree of grace.

"Please." Yun Xinyan smiled and led the way.

The group arrived at the company’s cafeteria and soon began their meal. The Capital City chef’s skills were undeniable, and bald Old Wang was enjoying his meal, his mouth dripping with oil.

"I heard Mister Wang has diabetes, so I made a special request for the kitchen to prepare sugar-free dishes. Eat with peace of mind, they’re absolutely sugar-free. That’s guaranteed."

At the banquet, Yun Xinyan said with a smile.

"President Yun has really thought of everything, even considering my illness. No wonder you manage the company so tight and orderly, you’re quite renowned even in the provincial capitals." The bald man sincerely admired, feeling touched.

From this meal alone, he could tell that Yun Xinyan was no ordinary person.

This was a project worth billions, and the board had reneged just like that. Old Wang asked himself, if he were in her shoes, he’d probably have a heart attack by now. That was billions of dollars, hundreds of millions, money one couldn’t spend in a lifetime. Yet President Yun remained unflustered, acting as if nothing had happened, her calm and steadiness practically assured Old Wang that this woman was bound for greatness.

"Excuse me, Mister Wang, I need to use the restroom. I’ll have one of my employees keep you company. Please continue to enjoy your meal," Yun Xinyan said with a smile as she excused herself from the table and silently walked into the restroom.

Bai Lan casually excused herself as well and quickly followed after her.

The two women didn’t head for the restroom, instead they took the rejection letter and the thick report back to the president’s office.

Yun Xinyan quickly skimmed through the materials with great efficiency.

"This is simply outrageous! They claim our group is on the verge of collapse, lacking the ability to support such a large project. I really doubt they’ve even looked at our financial statements!" Yun Xinyan slammed the documents on her desk, angrily exclaiming, "Yun Corporation owns the best assets in River City, has the most excellent team, the most scientific management, on what grounds do they reject my proposal!"

Bai Lan frowned as well, "There must be something fishy going on here. Everything was set for the contract signing today, how could they suddenly back out?"

"Our corporation can raise a billion in one day! Who else can do that?" Yun Xinyan said angrily, "To say our company is on the brink of bankruptcy is pure slander, slander!"

Bai Lan had also read the rejection report. It was filled with trumped-up charges claiming the group was on the edge of collapse, which anyone with clear eyes could see was fabricated. She really doubted whether the decision-makers in the provincial capitals had any brains at all to believe such things.

That was just one of the issues. They even accused the president of colluding with evil forces, making the corporation murky and chaotic, soon to be severely dealt with by the government according to the law.

This was even more preposterous, utterly laughable.

Everyone in River City knew that Yun Corporation was a major taxpayer in the city, a high-tech enterprise, a leading company that even the Mayor paid attention to.

"What is this really about? Right now, all I want to know is why?" Yun Xinyan was both angry and distressed.

According to the original plan, they were supposed to sign the contract today. As soon as the two major enterprises signed the contract, the project beneficial to the public would be completed. However, the abrupt change from the other corporation, disqualifying Yun Corporation, truly enraged Yun Xinyan.

"I know what’s going on here, want to hear it?" Ye Tian suddenly appeared in the president’s office, holding a cup of coffee in his hand.
