Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law

However, Lu Shuangyue had no intention of getting into the car.

"Let's cut the nonsense and talk about compensation!" As she spoke, Lu Shuangyue fixed Mr. Sun with a fierce glare.

"It took great effort for our Baozhi Hall to acquire this batch of medicinal herbs, and you destroyed it in the blink of an eye. What is the meaning of this?"

Seeing Lu Shuangyue's furious expression, Mr. Sun remained all smiles, his expression not changing in the slightest.

"Oh, Manager Lu, listen to yourself! What do you mean, *I* destroyed it?"

"The heavens are unpredictable, and a person's fortune can change in an instant. You can't blame us for this!" As he spoke, Mr. Sun wore a look of pure innocence. "I never expected our cold storage to malfunction, either. Nobody wanted this to happen, right?"

"How about this, Manager Lu? I'll compensate you for the herbs at market price. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Lu Shuangyue's brow furrowed tightly.

Just as she was about to speak, Mr. Sun suddenly added, "Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, Manager Lu."

"The price of this batch of herbs is too high, and I don't have that much liquid capital on hand. Let's do this: I'll write you an IOU, and we can settle it slowly! We're old acquaintances, after all, aren't we?"

After Mr. Sun finished, Lu Shuangyue's brow furrowed even deeper.

From Mr. Sun's words, she knew with absolute certainty that the destruction of the herbs was no coincidence, but a deliberate act. However, despite her suspicions, she had no evidence, so all she could do was keep her thoughts to herself.

As Lu Shuangyue was contemplating the matter, Mr. Sun unexpectedly pulled a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to her.

Feigning innocence, he said again, "This is the IOU. Please keep it safe, Manager Lu. I have other matters to attend to."

"I'll take my leave now. We'll meet again when we have the chance, Manager Lu!"

With that, Mr. Sun didn't give Lu Shuangyue a chance to respond and quickly got back into his car. The vehicle started up and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

From start to finish, he never gave Lu Shuangyue a chance to say a word, and her expression turned grim.

"That damned bastard!" Lu Shuangyue cursed bitterly, staring at the empty road where the car had been.

But now wasn't the time to settle accounts with Mr. Sun. The most important thing was to figure out how to fill the one-ton gap in her medicinal herbs and survive this crisis.

As Lu Shuangyue was pondering this, Mr. Sun, who had already left, sat in his car, smiling from ear to ear. He quickly took out his phone and made a call, which was answered in an instant.

Mr. Sun could be seen bowing and scraping as he spoke into the phone, "Young Master Yuan, I've handled the matter exactly as you instructed."

"Lu Shuangyue's batch of herbs has been completely destroyed. It's utterly unusable. As for the compensation, I just gave her an IOU and left before she could even react. What do you think? Are you satisfied with my work?"

Soon, a soft, effeminate voice came through the phone.

"Well done. You did very well."

"If this succeeds, your facility will become the Yuan Family's transfer cold storage. We'll sign a contract with you for at least twenty years."

Hearing this, Mr. Sun's smile grew even wider. His already small eyes disappeared completely. Then, in a sycophantic tone, he said, "Excellent, Young Master Yuan!"

"Rest assured, Young Master Yuan, I'll follow your every command! If you tell me to go east, I'll never go west. If you tell me to catch a chicken, I'll never chase a dog! I…"

Before Mr. Sun could finish, the line went dead with a busy signal. He had clearly been hung up on.

However, Mr. Sun didn't get angry. Instead, he couldn't stop grinning.

This is great, truly great! Now that I'm connected to the Yuan Family, my rise to fortune is just around the corner!

"HAHAHA!"

While Mr. Sun was laughing with joy, Yuan Wenkang lay in his hospital bed, staring at the phone in his hand, lost in thought. After what felt like a long time, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the person beside him.

"Tell me, are you sure this plan will work?"

"Don't let it be like last time, when we let that country bumpkin Liu Ergou take advantage of the situation and make fools of us!"

The person beside Yuan Wenkang hurriedly replied, "Rest assured, Young Master!"

"Even if that Liu Ergou had the power to move heaven and earth, even if he found an identical batch of herbs, they would never pass inspection!"

"That's because there was only one batch of qualified herbs on the market, and we destroyed it. You have nothing to worry about!"

Hearing this, Yuan Wenkang's expression finally improved.

"Lu Shuangyue!" he seethed.

"You like that country bumpkin, don't you? Fine, great!"

"Since I can't have you, I'll make sure your life is a living hell!"

"I will destroy your Baozhi Hall, piece by piece, and leave you to watch in helpless despair! In the end, you'll be all alone. And at that time, I want you to come begging me like a dog!"

As he spoke, Yuan Wenkang burst into crazed laughter.

"HAHAHA! HAHAHA!"

His laughter was so chilling that the person beside him couldn't help but flinch, a look of fear on his face.

While Yuan Wenkang laughed maniacally, Lu Shuangyue was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. She paced back and forth in the cold storage, muttering to herself.

"It's over, it's all over… If we breach the contract, Baozhi Hall's market share will shrink by at least a third!"

"But there's no way to find such high-quality herbs in time to avoid it!"

"What do I do? What am I going to do now?"

"It seems my only option is to pay the compensation!"

As Lu Shuangyue paced relentlessly, her phone suddenly rang. The shrill sound made her jump. After taking a moment to calm herself, she answered the call.

The moment the call connected, an anxious voice burst from the other end.

"Manager Lu, it's terrible!"

"All of our company's consultants are resigning!"

"They're saying Baozhi Hall is finished and that their compensation is going to be cut, so they're all quitting!"

"What are we going to do, Manager Lu?"

Hearing this news, Lu Shuangyue, who had just been as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, suddenly became calm.

"Hm, I understand," she said evenly.

"Tell those consultants that anyone who is willing to stay will receive a twenty percent increase in their salary and benefits."

"As for those who want to leave, let them go. Settle all their outstanding wages and send them on their way!"
