NOVEL NEXT Chapter 421 Rarely Seen
Wang Ye had no intention of letting Professor Lin off from the very beginning.
If Professor Lin's only fault had been a lack of scholarly rigor, then he might have spoken a few words on Professor Lin's behalf, but Professor Lin had failed to keep his personal and public life separate right from the start.
Instead, he planned to target him.
Beyond that, Professor Lin had directly slandered him and Old Guo.
What kind of person Old Guo is, and what he thinks, Wang Ye does not care, but Wang Ye knows that if he wants the Fang Family Jewelry Store to continue developing in the jewelry industry, he must establish his authority.
The Fang Family Jewelry Store is about to experience significant growth in the jewelry industry.
During this significant development, surely many people will want to cut in and snatch something for themselves.
Therefore, starting now, Wang Ye needs to establish his authority to ensure that no one dares to mess with the Fang Family Jewelry Store in the future.
Even if someone does intend to mess with the Fang Family Jewelry Store, they should think carefully. After offending the Fang Family Jewelry Store, they must consider whether they can withstand the retribution and strikes from Wang Ye.
If today, Professor Lin merely apologizes, and Wang Ye just lets him go, then others will likely think that Wang Ye, as well as the Fang Family Jewelry Store, are pushovers that can be easily bullied.
Even after offending Wang Ye and the Fang Family Jewelry Store, a simple apology would suffice.
At that time, the prestige of Wang Ye, as well as the Fang Family Jewelry Store, would collapse right from the start.
Professor Lin's lips trembled, his entire body shook, his face turned pale, as soon as Wang Ye spoke, Guo Pengzhan would certainly hold him accountable too.
When that time came, it would be more than just a simple matter of ruining his career; he would spend the next few years in a confined space.
"Wang Ye, Boss Wang! Master Wang! I know you have always been kind-hearted, otherwise, you wouldn't have gone to save someone at the airport, and your pharmaceutical group wouldn't sell at such a low price to others. You certainly can't bear to see me..."
Before Professor Lin could finish speaking, Wang Ye's snort of contempt cut him off directly.
Wang Ye looked at Professor Lin with an unfriendly expression, his heart seemingly untouched by the words from Professor Lin, his voice even contained a mixture of cold ruthlessness:
"Professor Lin, you must understand that me going to treat patients, pricing my researched drugs low, that's my affair, my responsibility, it certainly shows that I am kind-hearted, but that doesn't mean that I can be morally kidnapped by someone, nor does it mean that I am a good-natured person to be taken advantage of!"
In Wang Ye's voice, there was nothing but resoluteness, and the hope in Professor Lin's eyes looking at Wang Ye instantly dimmed.
He knew that since Wang Ye had spoken thus, it was pointless to say anything further.
Following that.
Professor Lin turned his gaze toward Guo Pengzhan, and due to his agitation, his lips cracked slightly in just a moment, he lifted his trembling hand and spoke to Guo Pengzhan:
"Old Guo..."
However, when Guo Pengzhan faced Professor Lin, he didn't even listen to what Professor Lin had to say, instead turning his head away.
Professor Lin's eyes completely lost all their light.
He knew he was finished.
Wang Ye's rejection, combined with Guo Pengzhan's behavior, meant there was no room for negotiation. Next, he would have to pay the price for the mistake he had made in a moment of passion.
Upon returning to the Fang Family Jewelry Store's private room, just as Wang Ye was opening the door, Fang Feifei's personal secretary immediately stood up from her seat, "I... I just received another message all of a sudden, a bit busy, I need to go outside to handle some things, Director Fang, Boss Wang, you two please have a seat first."
Wang Ye listened to Fang Feifei's personal secretary and couldn't help but let out a wry smile.
He waved his hand dismissively to Fang Feifei's personal secretary and said softly, "Alright, you don't need to find an excuse to leave anymore, just stay in the private room. We won't do anything here."
Fang Feifei's personal secretary, hearing what Wang Ye said, looked at Fang Feifei and saw her nodding before sitting back down, smiling, "Suddenly, I'm not busy anymore."
Wang Ye took a seat next to Fang Feifei, and as soon as he sat down, her tender hands grasped his. Although she didn't speak, Wang Ye could feel the joy and worry that filled her heart when she watched him up on the stage earlier.
Thump, thump, thump.
The door to the Fang Family Jewelry Store's private room was knocked from outside. Fang Feifei's personal secretary opened the door to find a young man who, upon seeing Wang Ye, said:
"Wang Ye, Old Guo has said that he would like to invite you to the Zhu Baozhai Scholar Room for a meeting tonight."
"Okay."
Wang Ye nodded. His first impression of Guo Pengzhan was quite favorable, and the man was also a figure of considerable influence in Dragon Country's jewelry industry.
For the Fang Family Jewelry Store to continue developing in the Dragon Country jewelry industry, it was necessary for Wang Ye to network with influential figures like Guo Pengzhan.
After the young man left the private room, Fang Feifei and her personal secretary couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath, their faces full of surprise as they looked at Wang Ye with a hint of envy.
"What's wrong?" asked Wang Ye.
Seeing Wang Ye's confusion, Fang Feifei explained:
"Since Old Guo brought the Dragon Country jewelry industry to prominence, he had ceased to interfere directly in the industry's affairs. His appearance today might be driven by his reluctance to see True Stone fade into obscurity, which is why he chose to intervene."
"We can understand that, but the main thing is, ever since Old Guo withdrew from the jewelry industry, he has not met with any of the industry titans. All of those who wanted to meet with Old Guo were turned down."
"But to think, Old Guo would actually take the initiative to invite you today, which really surprises and envies us."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" Fang Feifei's personal secretary nodded vigorously, with a yearning expression in her eyes:
"If those other jewelry industry giants outside knew that Old Guo not only had a meal with Wang Ye but also that he was the one who invited, I wonder what sort of envy they would feel."
Observed by Fang Feifei's envious eyes and her personal secretary, contemplating how other jewelry industry giants would react upon hearing the news, Wang Ye fell into thought.
