Chapter 246: The Venomous Woman!

Before this moment, Su Ruyan’s thoughts were indeed simple.

In the face of the deceits from the son of the arrogant principal, her mind was uncomplicated, and she directly followed him to a hotel to work on homework.

When faced with the indulgence and connections of the entertainment industry and the wealthy elite, she thought simply, believing that with her charm, she would receive endless love and quickly become famous from just one role!

Even when she saw Shen Fei take out 20 million and drive a luxury car at the sales office of Yunhe Villa, she naively thought that Shen Fei, remembering their middle school friendship, would definitely fall in love with her again…

But everything turned out to be the opposite of what she had imagined.

However, it was precisely because of this that Su Ruyan now had the courage to face Zhao Chengli directly and discuss a way to deal with Shen Fei.

Had she still been thinking simply, the moment Shen Fei deleted her would have been when she gave up on him and sought better targets. She wouldn’t have directly gone to find Shen Fei’s competitor like she did now.

“Mr. Zhao, I must say, sometimes your vision is a bit narrow!”

Su Ruyan said mockingly without holding back.

Faced with her undisguised disdain, Zhao Chengli was enraged, but quickly suppressed his emotions, a playful look on his face as he said,

“Go on.”

“Mr. Zhao, you also know that this scandal will bring about a temporary public relations crisis for the Scar Healing Ointment!”

Su Ruyan smiled, looking at Zhao Chengli with a seductive and playful glance,

“At this time, isn’t Deputy General Manager Tang the one who can take advantage of it? I’ve heard that he’s the type who can’t tolerate even a grain of sand in his eyes!”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chengli’s eyes gleamed with interest.

“What exactly happened between you and Tang Xingwen that made him so determined to stay under Shen Fei despite any personal feelings? I’m not interested in the details, but now that Shen Fei was once such a notorious scoundrel, what do you think Tang Xingwen would think when he finds out?”

“Such a person, do you think he will be kind to him later? Not likely! Besides, you’ve been long-time partners, so now is the best time to strike. Don’t you think so?”

Su Ruyan said with interest, observing Zhao Chengli’s expression.

Upon hearing these words, Zhao Chengli narrowed his eyes and began to think deeply.

“Mr. Zhao, Tang Xingwen is the key figure behind the development of Scar Healing Ointment! If you can use this opportunity to sow discord between him and Shen Fei, and then show him some warmth, he might just come back to your company! If he’s unwilling, you could spend a large sum to buy the formula from him! With all the years you’ve known Tang Xingwen, do you think he would mind Shen Fei’s character flaws?” Su Ruyan said softly.

Zhao Chengli, having known Tang Xingwen for many years, agreed with Su Ruyan’s analysis. He knew that Tang Xingwen not only had a one-track mind but also despised men who were violent toward women.

And Shen Fei, who not only drank and gambled excessively but also often took out his anger on his wife and daughter, would certainly make Tang Xingwen more repulsed by him.

But…

“You’re right! But Tang Xingwen is also a man who values loyalty. Do you think he would really do that? I don’t think, even if he has issues with Shen Fei, he would sell me the formula for Scar Healing Ointment…” Zhao Chengli said worriedly.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Zhao. I’m here talking to you because I’m sure the answer won’t disappoint you!”

Su Ruyan seemed to have anticipated Zhao Chengli’s response and wasn’t surprised by his doubts. She raised an eyebrow and gave her answer.

“Oh? Do you have another solution?”

At this point, Zhao Chengli finally admitted he had underestimated this woman, who appeared to be just a pretty face.

There’s an old saying that the prettier a woman, the more dangerous she is!

And it was true—she was a femme fatale!

“It’s just the formula, isn’t it? I can personally go and get it for you, Mr. Zhao. What do you think?” Su Ruyan said.

“Huh? You’ll get it yourself? How?” Zhao Chengli was stunned.

Su Ruyan stood up and walked toward him, performing a runway catwalk.

She then struck a beautiful pose, giving Zhao Chengli a flirtatious glance, and smiled proudly,

“Mr. Zhao, the Thirty-Six Stratagems of the Art of War—one of them is the ‘Beauty Stratagem’!”

Zhao Chengli suddenly understood. He lazily leaned back on the sofa,

“Tell me, what are your conditions?”

“Straightforward!”

Su Ruyan returned to the sofa with a smile, saying,

“Mr. Zhao, I’m a woman who knows what I want! The business world is like a battlefield, and as a weak woman, I have to be crafty to survive! As for Scar Healing Ointment, I can’t handle it! One, I don’t have the experience, and two, I have a low tolerance for stress! So, once I get the formula, the best way would be to sell it off and make a profit!”

As soon as Su Ruyan finished speaking, Zhao Chengli looked at her with more admiration.

She knew her limits!

Before Zhao Chengli could speak, Su Ruyan continued,

“But to get the formula for Scar Healing Ointment, I’ll need your help, Mr. Zhao!”

“Mm, go ahead!” Zhao Chengli said indifferently.

“I need detailed information about Tang Xingwen—what kind of women he likes, what he likes to eat, etc. The more detailed, the better. This will ensure a higher chance of success!” Su Ruyan said.

“Sure, I’m more than willing!” Zhao Chengli nodded, then changed his tone, half-smiling as he said,

“Miss, have you considered that this might fail? If it does, you’ll end up losing out completely.”

“Mr. Zhao, don’t worry about such things! The fact that I’m proposing this solution shows that I’m confident!”

Su Ruyan was confident, otherwise, she wouldn’t have come to Zhao Chengli in the first place.

“Alright! You’re truly a woman who doesn’t fall behind men!”

Zhao Chengli didn’t mind this.

After all, even if it failed, he wouldn’t lose a thing. If it succeeded, he would gain the formula for Scar Healing Ointment—an opportunity to elevate his company and take Beautiful Diary to the top of the skincare industry!

“Haha, Miss, at the end of the day, your main goal is to use your beauty to get the formula for Scar Healing Ointment, right? Since that’s the case, I’m sure you’ve already thought of the terms for selling it to me! So let’s get straight to the point! How much do you want?”

Zhao Chengli said frankly.

“Mr. Zhao, has anyone ever praised you for being straightforward?”

Su Ruyan smiled faintly, no longer wasting time with pleasantries.

“Let me say it directly, then. The formula for Scar Healing Ointment, one and a half billion! And five percent of the company’s annual profits! That’s my price, can you accept that?”

“Of course! Of course! You’re quite content with what you have, and you practice it very well! Let’s settle on that—one and a half billion plus five percent of the annual profits! If the first method works, I’ll also give you an additional thirty million as a reward!”

Zhao Chengli said with great satisfaction.

“Thank you in advance, Mr. Zhao!” Su Ruyan smiled.

“Good! Now, may I ask what exactly happened between you and Shen Fei? What caused you to disregard your past friendship and treat him like this?”

Zhao Chengli teased.
