Chapter 415: 415: Retaliate Against Him, Make Him Suffer
The rainstorm had persisted for two days already. Tianyun City was truly a rain-soaked place.
With the successful acquisition, she would once again earn a huge bonus which she could wholly invest into the medical clinic.
She wanted to expand and strengthen her clinic, to possess the power to acquire companies she desired, just like Dongfang Mu.
Of course, she held no interest in the finance industry.
She wished to acquire Lan’s Hospital.
A truly exhilarating goal, this was the spark of inspiration she had gained from working with Dongfang Mu these few days.
Instead of ruining Lan’s Hospital, why not turn it around for her own use?
Once Lan’s Hospital was hers, wouldn’t Lan Yuyi be furious to death?
Qiao Yin felt happy merely thinking about it.
However, she knew that acquiring Lan’s Hospital would be difficult with just one medical clinic. After all, Lan’s Hospital was no small institution. It was a top-tier private hospital with an annual revenue in the hundreds of millions.
She needed an ally, someone who could swiftly defeat Lan’s Hospital and aid her in the acquisition.
Her initial choice was Dongfang Mu, but she had already sensed animosity from Cui Shuqian towards her, so she abandoned that thought.
She set her sights on another private hospital in Tianyun City, Qingzhu Hospital.
Qingzhu Hospital had a mediocre reputation, and many people weren’t even aware that Tianyun City had such a private hospital.
Without reputation, it naturally meant fewer patients coming for treatments.
Qingzhu Hospital was on the brink of closure.
Thus, Qiao Yin thought she might first acquire Qingzhu Hospital, develop it, and then proceed to acquire Lan’s Hospital.
Just as Qiao Yin was in deep thought, her mobile phone buzzed.
She picked it up and noticed it was a message from Lu Lingche.
“You went with Dongfang Mu to negotiate the acquisition at Wanann Finance again?”
Initially, Qiao Yin didn’t want to reply, but she was the one who had snatched Wanann Finance from Lu Lingche.
How could she not gloat a little over her victory?
She quickly typed out her response: “President Lu, Eastern Empire and Wanann Finance have officially signed the acquisition contract. Your plans to acquire Wanann Finance have been thwarted. Congratulations!”
Qiao Yin waited for quite a while but did not receive a response from Lu Lingche.
She chuckled softly under her breath.
He was undoubtedly angry.
Revenge against him, making him suffer, such things truly lifted her spirits!
While Dongfang Mu was drinking with Cui Shuqian, he occasionally glanced over at Qiao Yin.
She sat quietly in a corner of the dining room, an odd presence amidst the cheerful crowd.
Dressed in a light apricot-colored suit, her strikingly beautiful face framed like a fine painting, she was almost otherworldly, breathtakingly so.
For a moment, Dongfang Mu felt like she didn’t belong here. Her refined coldness and the surrounding noise felt like two distinct worlds.
Not until he saw her smile did the sense of this division fade.
He couldn’t help but wonder,
Who was it that managed to pull her back into the mundane world from her lofty and detached one?
Lu Lingche?
It should be. Only matters regarding him ever garnered a reaction from Qiao Yin, even when she was entirely invested in her work. Only the mention of Lu Lingche’s name would bring her attention back.
He had just acquired Wanann Finance, and he had heard that Lu Lingche was furious about it.
Lu Lingche had likely reached out to Qiao Yin just now.
As to what was said, he had no clue.
However, it was evident that Lu Lingche had managed to amuse Qiao Yin thoroughly.
Dongfang Mu was genuinely jealous of Lu Lingche. How was it that he could so easily have Qiao Yin and yet not treasure her? Yet, Qiao Yin couldn’t forget about him.
And him?
Now, he had to sit here, drinking with Cui Shuqian, who had a face resembling a hatchetfish.
What’s more, he had to marry Cui Shuqian first to secure the family inheritance rights. Only after acquiring the inheritance rights could he plan to marry Qiao Yin.
Even after all his painstaking efforts, he might only possibly win Qiao Yin’s hand in marriage.
Because, Qiao Yin might not agree to marry him.
The right to decide lay with Qiao Yin, not him..
