Chapter 380 Cooperation and Threat
Beneath the glittering facade of Yue City, a turbulent undercurrent of power and self-interest swirls.
Inside the luxurious suite of the Jinghao Hotel, the atmosphere was as oppressive and tense as the calm before a storm.
"Mayor Qin, am I right? Wu Kangping is a pawn you sent to test us, isn't he? I wonder if he's scared of the evidence I sent him?"
Tian Zhenzhen's voice was clear and cold, stating everything directly without any reservations.
Her eyes gleamed with confidence and sharpness as she stared directly at Mayor Qin, who sat opposite her.
Not only was Mayor Qin investigating her identity, but she was also secretly conducting in-depth research on everything around her.
Mayor Qin wanted to give her a hard time as soon as he arrived, but Tian Zhenzhen never backed down.
She prefers to play straightforwardly; in her view, nothing beats solid ability.
Her little schemes might seem naive to those who play politics, but she has the confidence to let her strength speak for itself—that's her motto.
Upon hearing Tian Zhenzhen's words, Mayor Qin showed no surprise whatsoever, as if Tian Zhenzhen's words were already part of his plan.
He leaned back slightly on the sofa, his fingers lightly tapping the armrest, his eyes revealing the scrutiny of someone in a superior position.
"Miss Tian is very confident, but if you rely solely on Jinghao Hotel, I'm afraid you'll find it difficult to achieve your goals in Yue City."
This medicine is so effective that many people probably covet it, but our Qin family is precisely the ones who can protect you.
Miss Tian is a smart woman; she should understand what I mean.
Mayor Qin spoke with an undeniable confidence as he proposed the cooperation.
In his mind, no matter how capable Tian Zhenzhen was, she was just a businesswoman with some connections.
If the Qin family were to protect this medicine, it would save a lot of trouble. As long as Tian Zhenzhen is a smart person, she should be able to understand the deeper meaning behind his words.
Upon hearing his words, Tian Zhenzhen did not immediately refute them. Instead, she asked with interest:
"Mayor Qin wants to cooperate with me. I wonder how the profits will be divided if the cooperation is successful?"
Her tone was slightly amused, as if she were watching a farcical performance.
"If you want to release a new drug, it will be extremely difficult without the protection of our Qin family."
Perhaps, if others knew that you could develop such a drug, your life would be in danger.
Our Qin family not only handles all channels for the drug to reach the market, but we will also arrange for people to protect your safety.
As for the division of profits, of course we'll take the lion's share; it'll be 90% for us and 10% for you.
With the medicine's miraculous abilities, even if you only occupy one layer, you'll surely make a fortune and gain business partners like the Qin family.
Countless people want to curry favor with the Qin family but never have the chance; you are lucky.
When Qin Shixian mentioned the 9:1 ratio, he had a determined look on his face, as if he was offering a condition that Tian Zhenzhen absolutely could not refuse.
His words, if directed at those who cannot protect their own achievements, are not entirely a deception.
Of course, such cooperation depends on the other party being a trustworthy person; otherwise, there are probably many ways to prevent you from obtaining this level of benefit.
However, Tian Zhenzhen is not the kind of person who can be easily fooled.
"How could Mayor Qin possibly think I couldn't hold on? Besides, my medicine is so effective that many people would want to cooperate with me, so why would I want to cooperate with your Qin family?"
Mayor Qin, I think you're overestimating yourself.
As soon as Tian Zhenzhen finished speaking, Mayor Qin's expression changed visibly.
Very well, it's been many years since anyone has been so presumptuous in front of him.
However, Mayor Qin is Mayor Qin after all. His many years in politics have honed his strong mental fortitude, and he did not lose his temper.
"You could choose to cooperate with others, but you probably won't have that opportunity."
Our Qin family has already set its sights on this medicine. You have no choice but to cooperate with us. You have no other option.
Mayor Qin's words were domineering and firm. He seemed to have already decided that he was the ruler in Yue City, and Tian Zhenzhen could only act according to his wishes.
Hearing his domineering words, Tian Zhenzhen gained a deeper understanding of Mayor Qin's character.
This young man was able to become mayor, which is probably due not only to his background but also to his abilities.
When negotiating with others, Mayor Qin is definitely the stronger party.
However, this time he really hit a brick wall.
"It seems that Mayor Qin and I cannot reach a consensus."
"If I don't give away what's mine, no one else can covet it. It doesn't apply to Mayor Qin or the Qin family behind you." Tian Zhenzhen's gaze was firm; she wouldn't budge an inch.
Mayor Qin saw that Tian Zhenzhen's attitude was firm, but he didn't take it to heart.
In Yue City, on his territory, as long as Tian Zhenzhen wants to run a business and make a living, she will eventually have to compromise with him.
"I will give Ms. Tian two days to consider the cooperation. I believe you will change your mind."
There's another matter I've come here for: I wonder if my brother's disappearance is related to Miss Tian.
"If my brother suffers any harm, I'm afraid Miss Tian won't even get her 10% profit." Mayor Qin's words were a complete threat.
Thinking of Qin Mofeng, whose leg had been broken, Tian Zhenzhen pouted.
If Mayor Qin knew about Qin Mofeng's current miserable state, he probably wouldn't still be sitting there negotiating with her.
"How would I know Mayor Qin's brother? But judging from your actions, I can get a glimpse into the Qin family's style of doing things."
Maybe some people will be unhappy that your brother's leg was broken and he's living like a dead dog.
Therefore, one should not be too arrogant, lest one offends others without realizing it.” Tian Zhenzhen was describing Qin Mofeng’s current predicament, and she made no attempt to hide her verbal provocation of Mayor Qin.
Mayor Qin finally understood at this moment that Tian Zhenzhen was openly provoking him.
This woman is really bold; she's not afraid of him at all.
At this moment, Mayor Qin's sharp edge was on full display, revealing his most piercing and scrutinizing gaze. Years of being in a position of power had instilled in him a powerful aura. Few dared to meet his piercing eyes.
Unfortunately, the person he met this time was Tian Zhenzhen.
Facing his gaze, Tian Zhenzhen did not back down at all.
Especially when he met Tian Zhenzhen's strange gaze, Mayor Qin had a vague feeling that he was being seen naked.
For the first time, Mayor Qin awkwardly looked away from people younger than him.
This Tian Zhenzhen is truly a master of disguise. Not only did she not show any fear when she looked at him, but she also made him lose first.
However, Mayor Qin is not someone who will easily admit defeat.
"Since Miss Tian is so confident, I hope you can continue to be so confident."
And if my brother gets injured, I will definitely make Miss Tian experience the same thing.
Even if Miss Tian is confident she can protect herself, she probably can't protect everyone.
After Mayor Qin finished speaking, he stood up, thinking about how he would start a series of plans targeting Tian Zhenzhen once he got back.
He wanted to force her to submit and rescue Mo Feng as soon as possible. He was certain that Mo Feng was in Tian Zhenzhen's hands.
His eyes revealed a determination for revenge, as if telling Tian Zhenzhen that she was about to pay the price for her stubbornness.
"Go ahead." Tian Zhenzhen didn't even lift an eyelid in the face of Mayor Qin's threat.
Her voice was full of disdain, as if Mayor Qin's threat was nothing but a joke to her.
Seeing her so emboldened, Mayor Qin's face darkened completely.
He snorted coldly and strode away.
