Murong Tian and Murong Qing's voices were very soft, but Lin Chen heard them loud and clear.

A cold smile slipped across Lin Chen's lips; however, he knew that since the conflict between the two parties had just flared up today, Murong Qing wouldn't likely take immediate action, but even if he did, Lin Chen wasn't the least bit afraid of Murong Qing.

After bidding farewell to Lu Dong, Lin Chen drove He Xin back to Peach Blossom Village, then he returned to the base.

Inside the base, Xue Ying was sitting on the sofa with a somewhat icy expression.

Several middle-aged men were sitting across from Xue Ying, each holding a contract in their hands.

"Today is the delivery date, Miss Xue. If you can't deliver the goods, then I'm afraid we'll have to meet in court," one bald man said coldly.

This bald man was named Sun Huawei, the general manager of Liya Group. He had come on the instructions of Li Yan to sue the Xingchen Group.

"I have already reported the matter to the chairman, and he will be here shortly to resolve it personally," said Xue Ying calmly.

The medicinal materials supplied by Lin Chen yesterday had now resumed production, and there would be no issue with delivering today; however, Lin Chen had insisted on handling this matter personally, so she could only wait for him to return.

"Hmph, our time is very precious, we don't have the leisure to wait for him here," Sun Huawei snorted coldly.

At that moment, the door to the conference room opened up, and Lin Chen walked in.

"You've arrived, Chairman Lin," Xue Ying hastily stood up.

When the person who entered was seen, everyone was taken aback; the young man looked to be around seventeen or eighteen, dressed plainly, yet he was respectfully addressed as the chairman by Xue Ying.

Lin Chen nodded and took a seat in the chair of honor, his gaze sweeping over the few individuals.

For some reason, when Lin Chen's gaze fixed on them, each person felt a shiver in their hearts.

Steadying his mind, Sun Huawei scoffed, "So you're Lin Chen. This is the agreement we signed; today you must deliver the goods or pay the compensation."

Lin Chen glanced at the contract and said indifferently, "The goods are available, but they will certainly not be given to you, because from now on, your company has been blacklisted by Xingchen Company. None of our products will ever be sold to you again."

"Hahaha, Lin Chen, you think too highly of yourself, who do you think you are? Do you believe our Liya Company can't survive without your products?" Sun Huawei laughed coldly.

"Exactly, so young to be a chairman, it's simply ridiculous."

"I think this Xingchen Company is nothing but a briefcase company."

The other people joined in with similar mocking remarks.

Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Ms. Xue, please settle their accounts. I don't want to see these human scum any longer."

Compensation? Lin Chen wasn't afraid. If it had been a few days earlier, he would have been concerned about funds, but now, with more than two billion in hand, what were a few tens of millions?

Moreover, Lin Chen believed that while these tens of millions in losses would mean nothing to them, it would result in devastating consequences for the futures of their companies.

Just then, Sun Huawei's phone began to ring.

He glanced at the number—it was the chairman calling.

Anxiously, he answered the phone respectfully, "Hello, Chairwoman Wu."

"Huawei, Xingchen Company's products have great potential. You must establish a good cooperative relationship with Xingchen Company by any means necessary, as it concerns the future of our company," came the voice of Chairwoman Wu from the phone.

"This!" Upon hearing Director Wu's words, Sun Huawei immediately broke into a sweat.

The chairman was not aware of the lawsuit against Starlight Company. Considering Starlight was just a newly established small company, he hadn't taken it seriously, so when Li Yan came to him, Sun Huawei decided to intervene to help Li Yan.

Now, just as Lin Chen had announced that he was blacklisting their company, the chairman's call came in, instructing him to establish a good relationship with Starlight Company.

"Is there any problem?" Wu's icy voice came through the phone.

Wu Liya, the chairman of Liya Group, held nearly half of the sales market in the Huaxia beauty products field.

As soon as Starlight Company's products hit the market, she found out through various channels about the miraculous effects of Starlight's products.

Whitening, acne treatment, spot removal—these effects were almost immediate after use; Starlight's products had become so sought after that they were hard to come by.

Even in high society, possessing a whitening product from Starlight Company had become a prestigious matter.

With her keen business acumen, Wu Liya sensed that the future of the cosmetics market would belong to Starlight Company, which is why she urgently called Sun Huawei.

But no matter what, she couldn't have imagined that her own company had already been blacklisted by Lin Chen.

"Director Wu, Starlight is just a small company. Their products have just hit the market and aren't competitive. There's no need for us to establish any relations with them," Sun Huawei said, quivering.

"What do you mean by that? Do you have some conflict with Starlight Company?" Wu Liya asked, frowning.

With a pale face, Sun Huawei said, "Starlight Company's products are out of stock, and we are preparing to sue them."

"Sue? Are you out of your mind?" Wu Liya almost exploded with anger on the other end of the phone.

"Sun Huawei, let me tell you, in the future, Liya will rely on Starlight Company to survive. If there's a conflict with Starlight Company now, apologize to them immediately. If you don't handle this matter well, you can get lost," Wu Liya nearly roared.

Sun Huawei's scalp tingled as he listened. This beautiful CEO was always very gentle; he had never seen her so angry, and he didn't expect that today, for Starlight Company's sake, she had turned into a tigress.

"Definitely, definitely," Sun Huawei, sweating all over, stammered in agreement.

"Remember what I just said. If Starlight Company can't forgive you, don't bother coming back," Wu Liya said with an icy voice.

After hanging up the phone, Sun Huawei, his scalp still tingling, returned to the meeting room.

Clenching his teeth, he said to Lin Chen with an apologetic smile, "President Lin, the misunderstanding just now... We've decided not to sue your company, and we would also like to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with your company."

Lin Chen glanced at Sun Huawei, his lips curling into a mocking smile. "Didn't you hear what I just said? Starlight Company will no longer sell any products to Liya."

"President Lin, please, it was all a misunderstanding. Let's discuss this matter properly," Sun Huawei said with an awkward smile.

The other managers were stunned to see Sun Huawei suddenly change his tune. All along, it was he who had been manipulating the others to sue Starlight Company, but now, when it mattered most, Sun Huawei had suddenly turned his coat.

"I'm sorry, but I have nothing to discuss with you. The money will be transferred to your account shortly. You may leave," Lin Chen said indifferently.

Suddenly, Sun Huawei fell to his knees before Lin Chen. "President Lin, I was wrong. I beg of you, please forgive my foolishness. I won't dare to do it again in the future."

Director Wu Liya had just given him an ultimatum; if he failed to win Starlight Company's favor, he'd have to leave. It had not been easy for him to become the general manager of Liya Group, and he was not willing to let go of this golden opportunity no matter what.

Seeing Sun Huawei kneel before Lin Chen, the managers were taken aback, and even Xue Ying was utterly confused.
