She said to Bao Mingyuan: "It’s all because of Su Ruanruan, she’s a disaster! Men become enchanted by her. My elder brother, my second brother, and then this Mu Jiu, who appeared out of nowhere, is also bewitched by her."
Bao Jingyan and Bao Ziqi never openly discussed their feelings for Su Ruanruan in Bao Family, but Bao Jingyuan just blurted it out boldly.
For a moment, the hall fell silent.
Bao Mingyuan’s expression darkened, and Bao Ziqi’s face grew colder.
Bao Jingyuan, infuriated, stamped her foot: "You all side with Su Ruanruan, I’m going to tell mom."
After she ran off, Bao Mingyuan shook his head helplessly: "Jingyuan is young and talks nonsense, Ziqi, don’t take it seriously."
Bao Ziqi snorted coldly: "It’s because she’s young that she dares to speak the truth."
Using that tone, Bao Mingyuan was taken aback and countered: "Are you saying you have feelings for Ruanruan?"
Bao Ziqi didn’t respond and simply grabbed his car keys and left.
Bao Mingyuan couldn’t help but shake his head.
Just then, Mrs. Bao came downstairs, already informed of Mu Qun’s visit by her confidant.
Seeing his wife descend the stairs, Bao Mingyuan couldn’t help but complain: "These children are getting out of hand."
Mrs. Bao sat down at the dining table and began mournfully: "That’s because you’ve neglected them! Now you only care about promoting Ruanruan, how could you remember the children I bore for you."
Bao Mingyuan was both amused and annoyed: "What are you talking about?"
He was rushing to attend a meeting, but that’s when he received a call from Secretary Gao.
"President Bao, there’s trouble."
"What could possibly go wrong?" Bao Mingyuan frowned slightly, walking towards the exit.
Secretary Gao’s tone was grave: "Yanning Pharmaceutical has developed a similar new drug ahead of us and unexpectedly launched it today."
"That’s impossible!" Bao Mingyuan stopped in his tracks, "Put Jingyan on the phone."
Secretary Gao lowered his voice: "Young President Bao has paused the meeting this morning! He’s now in his office."
Bao Mingyuan cursed under his breath, then quickly strode to his car.
After he left, Mrs. Bao, who remained seated, slightly curled her lips.
No one would bet everything on a man.
She had kept an ace up her sleeve.
Yanning Pharmaceutical, she owned ten percent of its shares.
With this new drug developed ahead of Dijing Group, just her dividends were estimated to be in the billions.
Mrs. Bao was in an extremely good mood.
Meanwhile, Bao Mingyuan headed to the company, where Bao Jingyan was already in a meeting.
Bao Mingyuan burst through the door, furious: "This is impossible!"
Bear in mind, Dijing Group began developing this type of drug three years ago, when Yanning Pharmaceutical was still playing in the mud!
Bao Mingyuan sat down, swept all the documents aside.
"Today, let’s not talk about anything else, just root out the mole."
He scanned the room: "You all know the scale of Yanning Pharmaceutical and their R&D capabilities. It’s absolutely impossible for them to develop a new drug first! Unless they stole it from Dijing’s work."
In the meeting room, none of the mid to senior level managers dared to speak.
Bao Jingyan finally spoke up: "Don’t worry, they won’t get far with this. I guarantee that within half a month of this drug hitting the market, there will be disputes between patients and medical providers."
Bao Mingyuan frowned: "You’re sure? Jingyan, their team isn’t incompetent, they wouldn’t dare release it without being nearly certain, right?"
Bao Jingyan shifted his jaw slightly.
Secretary Gao immediately brought out several bank statements and placed them in front of Bao Mingyuan.
Bao Mingming glanced at them and was stunned.
After a long while, he murmured, "It turns out to be him."
